Mane is boss

Where were you last month?

It'll be on the internet though, cos it's definitely on NBC sports. Try footybite.com

Surprised we haven't seen the short free kick West Ham played more often

We essentially had Milner there for the second half.

The Bankers Bar on Trinity Lane off Dame St tends to be filled with Liverpool fans as well, not sure how it will work when clashing with the rugby though.

Put it back

I had been thinking we Klopp just decided to have the band of forwards and midfield tighter together as part of the defensive tightening up, in general the front press seems to have moved back 5-15m, although it depends on the opponent. Salah is freed up in space out wide, but will track back, Mane will put in an incredible defenisve shift and get forward and the thinking is in if you have Firmino doing what he does best, but 10m back you don't lose anything, This relative compaction is also allowing the back 4 (5?) to play more throughballs. It makes a ton of sense on paper and was working really well earlier, but I think Firimino is struggling as whatever the opposite of a trequartista is called and maybe we need to go back a few steps towards the brilliant chaos of last year.

That looks like the player we were hoping to get. He's got to get a chance in a two with Fabinho soon.

Watching the build up to their first back a few times. we over commit in the press and Henderson exhausts himself going to help out on the right instead of central, Townsend cleverly pulls away from the back of Robertson and Fabinho sees him too late Obviously if Keita wins that ball we should score, but for the most part this season we haven't pressed as wildly https://twitter.com/SWPalace/status/1086921857058639872

If Alberto left now, we'd have to sign left back cover or use Milner almost exclusively as full back cover

Are they the glue stick ones or the horse f***ers?

Imagine how great we are going to be going when it clicks back into place for him.

Interesting article suggesting Keita's stats show him playing in the way we thought he would, lots of pressing and bringing the ball forward. Milner features of course for same https://statsbomb.com/2018/09/10445/

Spoken like a man who doesn't appreciate the finer things in life. The best whiskey tastes like a peat bog that was set alight by a tire fire.

Hoist upon my own Pavard.

Angry react because he may block Trent or Gomez?He'd also be direct competition for Clyne, Lovren and Matip. If we are actually looking at him maybe it means Clyne and Matip are out.

He was interesting as he looked amazing at fullback but plays for Stuttgart as a CB.

Is this an actual stat collected somewhere online and freely available or just like your gut feeling?

We sampled it from them but it's not the same bassline. It goes 'ding ding ding di di ding ding… ding ding ding di di ding ding.' That's the way theirs goes. Ours goes 'ding ding ding di di ding ding… DING… ding ding ding di di ding ding.' That little bitty change -- it's not the same

He'll get to play, which he needs

Brighton got that lad cheap. 17m for a guy who scored 21 goals from a wide position. Looked a real hard worker willing to sacrifice for the team during the world cup too. Usual disclaimer of it being the Dutch league. https://www.whoscored.com/Players/133390/Show/Alireza-Jahanbakhsh
