"I said to the boys before 'I don't think it's possible but because it's you I think we have a chance' - they are really mentality giants. It's unbelievable." That's just brilliant - he's not just telling them not to give up or whatever, but that they have the capability of doing something he doesn't even understand. How powerful is that!

Maybe Hightown Phil is thinking about Stéphane Sessègnon?

That was the old Ronaldo, he's played through the middle for at least the last season as he has lost his pace/engine. The main thing Real need to replace is guaranteed goals. I don't think Mane gives them that and I doubt Salah is going anywhere after signing the new deal.

Good stats, apparently - and VERY good with his feet. Zero information about this in the press over here - and we normally get some idea that something's going on beforehand. I should add - played every game for Brighton last season and is considered a significant reason they stayed up.

He looks a real Klopp-type player, doesn't he?

Agreed, most are looking pretty good. What would some of these guys cost?

Are you thinking of Ejaria? He came from Arsenal, didn't he?

Yes, and I wish he would be more positive with the ball mid-pitch. He often stimies whatever flow we may have - not sure that changing that is something that can be coached.

That's about a foot taller than Allen, isn't it?

No, not hateful at all - a bit jokey, really.

I thought Milner did really well

"In my dreams I win all games"

Particularly when it's THE worst option - lacks awareness at times and either puts those behind him under pressure or stifles our momentum going forward. Hopefully, it's just a lack of confidence at the moment.

Honest question, does it have another name?

But zonal marking doesn't work! Everybody knows that
