City are a strange team, when they play well they're unstoppable and make it looks easy, even last season had it at times but then for seemingly not much reason go into their shell in the CL and then it carries over to the league, bizarre dynamic, the second manager thats not really been able to solve it.
After Christmas last season they went on a bad run too, they make it look so easy then so hard

He's going to give people all the wrong reasons to see him as the guy who does it deliberately.
How much did Raheem and Kevin cost again?

De Bruyne was very positive that game. Made a lot of nice passes, had the goal, only remember him having one bad corner kick that's it.
Sterling on the other hand...

I actually like their new manager, he's a huge dick with big balls. Though i have a feeling these could all be minor incidents.

Rooney behind Martial? Harsh on Herrera though.

I don't want Memphis dropped he looks good with Martial a lot better than the Rooney connection.

I was very quiet the last weeks indeed.
Truth is we haven't got our shit together in the last two games (Hamburg and Frankfurt). And I rather not comment on shit games, because it's pointless.
He will solve our problems in defence.
Welcome back, Javi. We missed you more than you missed healthy knees.

Klopp:
"I didn't choose the break to wait for the right club. I wanted to get better. The break did me well. I improved my language skills."
Guess it makes sense to learn Spanish when you're coaching Español Munich right

Yeah because the newspapers never go after Costa
The only players the English papers are hilariously protective towards, is the English ones. Who never does anything wrong and are just "not that kind of player".
WTF? Youtube link please

It doesn't matter who the papers go after, the officials are clearly not paying anywhere near enough attention to what he gets up to on the pitch.

That's a fair enough point, but not one I was responding to. I would say that it isn't completely the officials fault however, it's hard for them to see everything that goes on, when the ball is not even close to the incidents.
Region locked obviously.

I want to see Sturridge today but off the bench. Don't break the boy again :'(
Lovren needs a revival, last year Mignolet style. Take him out of the team, I've got little faith in Rogers himself right now so belief in his 'prized signing' ain't happening.

I think Rodgers has till December to sort out his team. The potential is there, the players are good, they just need a system that suits them. Benteke as a lone strikers only works when you have players feeding him, I still do not get why Rodgers and his staff keep playing him as a lone striker while he lacks the players to feed him.
I like the line up, a bit worried about Rojo/Blind and their understanding of each other. That seems to be the key from where I'm standing
Hopefully Shrek, Memphis and Martial can deliver.

No, he's not.
Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Clyne, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno, Lucas, Can, Milner, Coutinho, Benteke, Sturridge.
Praying Sturridge doesn't go off injured.
Ahhh the usual source on YNWA forums was wrong. Guess those privacy screens they've put up at Melwood are working.

Good, Gomez and Lovren on the bench. Which tbh at this point seems like a generous move - to be named in the match day squad - after their contributions thus far.

Bit harsh on Gomez above

He's a championship player who was dropped into the team by fiat. I don't blame him for being generally poor, his selection was 100% BR.

First few games I thought he was solid and he had a good pre-season. He's not experienced enough to be playing every game and it's not his best position, but he's been one of our better performers overall so far. Plenty more disappointing than him so far this season.
Just watching that piece on Sky Sports with Chris Smalling - am I the only person who sees him as a Championship quality defender? Loves nothing more when receiving the ball than passing it sideways and telling somebody else to get it forward. You can almost see the panic whenever he receives the ball.
Why when they spent all that money they didn't get someone to replace him is crazy.
Louis seems to like Mr Mike Smalling though......

Our passing is so excruciatingly bad when it's forward. No care with the ball at all.

This is just shambolic. Our defense is a ridiculous joke.
And such terrible passing. wtf.
