  1. That’s exactly what I thought looking at that video - telescopic legs nicking the ball then driving forward.
  2. It’s a position we can definitely improve on - someone who can put his foot on the ball when we are under the cosh and get us playing football again. I don’t know if this lad can do that but we know the three we have already don’t.
  3. I do too. He has kept faith with Lovren and was rewarded with an excellent display in the European Cup final. Karius is the style of keeper we need. I’d rather we spent the money we will need to fork out for someone like Allison for more depth in attack and in front of the defence.
  4. Milner was far better from where I was sat.
  5. Correct - he is a pretty ordinary footballer who plays in a position where he sees a lot of the football. Throw in the fitness record and it’s an obvious area for an upgrade in the summer.
  6. He stood out today - and not in a good way.
  7. This lad is being hyped to ridiculous levels. Let’s see how he adapts to English football first.
  8. Mignolet is utterly finished after Arsenal away then the FA Cup game. I expect Karius to start in Portugal as the No.1.
  9. I agree with this. He is much better suited to the way Klopp wants us to play than Mignolet but the shot-stopping needs to improve if he is survive beyond the summer. Arsenal away was clearly the final straw for Klopp with Mignolet. He game him the standard one game after so as not to make it look too obvious then has dropped him.

    Coutinho

    Lallana has many good qualities and Chamberlain is looking better but Coutinho was in a different class. Anyway. Thanks for the goal at Old Trafford that dumped Utd out of Europe. By far, my favourite moment of his in a red shirt.

    Coutinho

    Diego Costa? Gareth Bale? Kyle Walker? Utd were within minutes of losing the only player they’ve had since Ronaldo that anyone top drawer would covet.

    Coutinho

    I don’t understand why we can’t agree a deal now for the summer if Barca are worried about a post a World Cup auction. It would be similar to our arrangement with Keita.

    Coutinho

    Not really. Firmino's effectiveness reduces massively as soon as we move him away from where he currently is.
  14. Let’s see how he settles into English football before we get carried away. The list is long of players who have struggled to make the transition.

    Coutinho

    So what’s this Lemar lad like then? Is he another speedster?

    Defence

    That’s not how I remember the game. Perhaps we have different things is mind when we are talking about someone running a game.
  17. Correct. Both he and Mignolet are holding back this team.
  18. Klopp can spot a player - Mane and Salah are top drawer signings.
  19. Lukaku has an unusual build for a footballer. His upper body looks too over-developed. It doesn’t surprise me that he doesn’t do that much running. I’d have thought it leaves him exposed to injury too.
  20. Got to play Wijnaldum in this one. Its the kind of game he normally thrives in. AOC to drop out for him.
  21. His debut at Old Trafford is worth a mention - scored a goal by outpacing Pallister (after giving him a massive head start) then got sent off for cementing Schmeichel and Johnssen all within the first 30 minutes if memory serves.
  22. Me too. It was such a hot day and we'd been on the back foot for most of the game. The elation when he scored both goals is still vivid.
