Very much both

Not at all implausible that Diaz, who is underrated, is sold and a deal for Gordon breaks down at the last minute and no alternatives are available.

Williams' camp want him to stay in Bilbao for one more season to have more choice next season.

New lad comes into office and messes up deal after deal, then finally arranges an expensive contract but arranges for the supplier to supply his previous employer instead.

The Chiesa one comes up once a week, since his dad was playing, and always obviously by an agent and on the likes of Football Insider and Transfer Tattle etc.

Can already see the headline after the quadruple season Arne’s won the Slot or maybe after a winless three months That’s your Slot

Does the rumoured team have Nunez or Salah in it?

More Owl “If you’re Liverpool Football Club, you don’t need players of Van Dijk’s quality and status in the game to try to get a player a yellow card by kicking the ball against him. And the second I thought was a good challenge. Even if deemed a foul, which it could have been, it wasn’t a yellow card. “I’ve been in football a long time and I realise after things like today that when the day comes to leave it behind I won’t be missing anything.”

We have been looking at Kabak at Schalke, and they are very keen to sell as they are near bankrupt. I know Schalke have started the season terribly but Kabak has impressed nonetheless.

These two months crucial. Interesting stat from Andrew Beasley on liverpool.com

This season, in the Premier League we have: Highest number of shots Highest total xG Highest xG points total Highest difference between goals conceded and goals we should be conceding (xGA) (15 v 10) Highest number of VAR decisions against and the highest net number of VAR decisions against The toughest fixture schedule so far Arguably the highest number of injured players While we have a relatively serene bunch of fixtures when, hopefully, all the players come back from international duty, Chelsea, City and especially Spurs have very tough games in November and early December.

Leicester have been amazingly efficient (lucky?) so far. The have the third lowest number of shots per game (LFC way ahead on this one) but have third highest number of goals. BUT, and the big but, is that they've had 8 penalties in 8 games!

There was absolutely no pundit prattling last week when Fabinho was penalised after getting the ball, but The West Ham defender gets nowhere the ball and clearly kicks Salah and somehow the Salah dive narrative is up and running again. Actually, there wasn't even a social media hissy fit until the Match of the Day Mitchell brothers brought it up.

Great ability to find space, and that comes with a poacher's instinct.

Shaq has been getting steadily better in his cameos this season. Should definitely start alongside Gomez on Saturday.

Klopp effectively admitted that its gung-ho or bust: "The second half we made a mistake – we didn’t carry on playing football. It’s normal to try to control the game but a team like us has to control the game with the ball."

Keita and Van Dijk would solve a lot of problems but Keita is another all guns blazing midfielder and we really need a calming presence there - or an out and out defensive midfielder. The bizarre thing about last night is that after their second goal we defended superbly under extreme pressure until the corner.

Getting VVD and not losing Coutinho would be acceptable

No second bid for Coutinho James Pearce: Understand that #LFC have not received a second bid of 90m Euros from Barca for Coutinho.
