Pretty poor on the ball and going forward but we’ve been really good defensively. They’ve not created much either and Gomez has been brilliant again.

Seems that way. City have played all 3 of the promoted sides and all 3 of last year’s promoted sides. To be level on points with them at this stage is really promising.

Exactly. We’ve had 3-4 good opportunities and been wasteful, they’ve had 1 and taken it (Allison should have saved it too). No issues with the defence or midfield at all. If Mane and Salah had been more clinical we’d be winning this and still could.

Wouldn’t mind this side but reckon it’ll be a bit stronger. Gomez and Milner for Phillips and Jones maybe. Also reckon one of the main front three will start. I’m also hoping Allison plays instead of Mignolet.

Lovely header

Like that side Apart from Matip. But hopefully won’t be defending much anyway

I'd be very surprised if we signed him. He'd still want £200k per week and if we think it's a matter of time before his knee falls apart, then the time that possibly happens is now even closer. Also I just don't remember a transfer falling apart due to a medical and then the club signing him anyway shortly after.

Tuchel - “Maybe the score did not really tell the story. The result is not correct or logical.” He’s right in a way I suppose

Be good if McManaman piped down for a bit

Very wasteful going forward but we look so solid at the back.

I think we needed one as well but Klopp could have signed one if he really wanted to

He had his best performances (not that there were many) there.

Saw a clip of Allardyce saying similar about the red card, because he didn’t mean it, he shouldn’t have been sent off. Since when do fouls need to be intentional? Just handballs isn’t it? He was adamant about it too.

Think Klopp's already hinted that there wouldn't be many changes in the first 4 games. I'd like Henderson to start but keep the rest the same.

Should be going with his other hand there surely

£20m!

He'd have been ideal. But then I'm sure if Klopp really wanted a replacement then we'd have one so fingers crossed we've got enough.

Hope that doesn't happen.

Maybe Klopp thinks we're okay in that position but was just a massive fan of Fekir? There's been zero links to anyone else in that position so not sure what other explanation there is (I don't believe we've spent all the money available). I think we've left ourselves short though.

Maybe Klopp is happy with his options but Fekir was just a standout player who he was a huge fan of. Until we found out he had half a knee. Either way I don't believe Klopp doesn't have money to go out and get another player if he really wanted to.

Asked if Sanchez looks unhappy he said “do you want him to be happy with the players he has around him?” He’s no Tony Robbins that’s for sure

It’s not that unbelievable. It’s more detailed but ultimately he’s just re-iterating what he’s said since the medical issue, we’re not interested anymore.

Because it's not my money and all I'm concerned about is next season. And as of right now, he's fine. I just want another player, whether it's him or someone else (I only say him because Klopp clearly wanted him 5-6 weeks ago - I've barely seen him play).

Doesn't really change the initial point though. We thought it was serious enough to pull out of a deal where a player had already done media with LFC.tv. Based on that, I don't see us signing him either this window or the next. I can't remember any player failing a medical and then signing for the club a month or two later anyway. The only possibility is that it's on significantly reduced terms to account for risk of injury in the future. In which case, I don't see Lyon agreeing to that, seeing as he's their captain. Having said al that I still hope we sign him as he's OK right now and all I'm concerned about is this season.
