Hieronymus Bosch

Can't believe – if Barrett's on the money – that we have had to politely rebuff Ancelotti! Arguably the two managers in the world to be after, and we get our pick! This is China, end of GG/TH levels of off-field excitement.

Can defo see it being DeBoer.

Evacuate immediately. But do not run.

Better to assess them under a new regime.

But I bet there's one in particular who springs to mind.

The breadth and height of Pirlo's moustache - before it expands into beard - is noteworthy.

Pap indeed.

It's true, though. We've entered the Hodgson zone. Abort.

Just listening to synthy 80s tracks instead.

Holes, for sure, but a decent enough squad. Usual thing, isn't it? Poor managers breed underperforming players?

A touch harsh.

Ilori a classic example of our a***-about-face transfer strategy.

Whatever we think, the club gave him its full backing at a time when he was most vulnerable, so it's difficult to see any action taken soon. Fifth/sixth-place form, which we'll probably achieve, will most likely go unpunished for a while. Which of course could take Klopp out of play. And I get the feeling FSG would prefer to be 'fair'/justify their backing than take decisive action by cutting the cord. I think it's clear Rodgers isn't good enough but his second-placed finish and the fact he isn't Hodgson are going to leave us in footballing purgatory.

Timely injury for Hendo if it keeps Lucas here this season. Besiktas were obviously poised to sign him beforehand. Fear Allen will overtake him when fit though.

It's on Rodgers, not new CBs, to sort our defence out.

Would anyone be poking holes at Sakho if he was being picked? He's played well for us, he's fit; it's just Rodgers fancies Lovren.

If Rodgers is really putting his stamp on the team, I hope those frozen out are at least retained given the manager's precarious position, Lovren's record with us and our vulnerability in midfield.
