Clearly

This kind of stuff is extremely tedious and adds nothing to constructive debate,

Think City were robbed, but probably the best result for us.

How did the linesman not see the push on Sterling?

Loris has had a shocker

Baffling how City aren't winning this, the Spurs defence is all over the shop. Guaranteed that Spurs will snatch the win.

Trevor Francis can f*** right off

Spurs have released some details of their new stadium; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-38682911

Delighted to see we signed someone in time for the game.

Looking ahead to Guardiola arriving certainly helped them last season.

Think you need to include Gomez on the list

Feel sorry for him, injuries have really taken their toll on him. No way he stays beyond the summer.

Tyler will have an orgasm

Been disappointed with Woodburn, needs to trust himself more and play to his strengths

What, like this? https://www.zazzle.co.uk/i_heart_moaning_t_shirt-235562301939238765

I think the idea of paying a premium meaning another club will give up its best players to us smacks of arrogance.

He was a great player but I was more disappointed when Suarez left

As are those who continually blame FSG for us having a minimal net spend and not supporting Klopp properly. Don't disagree that's the gamble isn't it?

Says the poster suggesting Messi. The two players we have been consistently linked with are Pusilic and Dahoud, 17 and 21 years old respectively. Both of their clubs have made it clear that they won't be selling them last summer or this month. We may be able to get them in summer and Klopp appears to be willing to wait. Do you really think that if we managed to sign them this month they would immediately do any better than the 17-21 year old we currently have on the bench who are in tune with the team ethic Klopp wants above all else? Do you think it would be fair to place rhe kind of pressure on them that will come with joining a team halfway through the season that is chasing the title? If we are going to sign anyone this month it would need to be an older head who can handle the pressure of the sky generation who will want them to be an instant success. There doesn't appear to be that many available - for example Chelsea, in a similar position to us, have set their sights on bringing in Llorente on loan as understudy to Costa. Man City, despite what they have already spent, desperately need a new defence and I can't see them bringing anyone in. It just might be that the kind of experience that could go straight into our first team isn't available as their current teams are still in the CL/don't want to sell them. Or it could be such players don't fit in with Klopp's vision.

I got the impression reading that article that Matip told the coach face to face that he wouldn't be playing for the National team again and wasn't told he needed to put it in writing. Absolute farce.

Looks like we've bottled it, Matip left out of the squad for tonight

We went into the season with Firmino as 1st choice striker, with Sturridge, Origi and Ings back up for the position. It's clearly outrageous that FSG aren't willing to cough up £40m* for a player that will win us the league that no one can name, that doesn't appear to be available that Klopp isn't gagging for. *the reports that Klopp does have £40m to spend are obviously post fact lies as well.

This content is not viewable to guests.

I'd be starting Phil, Henderson and Sturridge - preferably Matip as well, simply to help get them match sharp.

Should just send them an email saying he's playing on Saturday unless you specifically tell us he can't with details of the relevant punishment if he does play.
