Always great to a diversity of supporters and good to have a Man City fan on board. Welcome my friend.

Chucky, it’s probably for the set-pieces. His accuracy is first class and that part of his game will be missed. Great to see James Milner reinstated in his natural playing position, but we need somebody out there to get trained up properly on those free kicks.

Big Jim, somewhere on this site I’ve made a point about the idea of leaving/giving a windows notice period. There should be a clause in a player’s contract (particularly if he is considered one of your best, and is a high earner) in favour of the club.

You’re right by implementing something like this gives you time to source a replacement.

I think in Coutinho’s case, this business with a so-called back injury is smoke and mirrors. Behind the scenes, I think both Barca and Pool are sorting/agreeing the player’s fee and by this Friday, Coutinho will be a goner.

I have nothing but praise for the guy and understand fully why he would move. Plus, he’s served us at least 3 good seasons. I’m highly encouraged in Salah, plus, we already have Mane in top gear, and we have a good find in Solanke, so plenty of attacking options.

It’s just a matter essentially to sought a sweeper type of role and a centre half.

Big Jim, the latest reported on Van Dijk is him changing agents to force this deal. I know Chelsea reportedly have shown an interest but he is dead set joining the Reds.

Saints obviously of late don’t have a good relationship with us. The player don’t want to play for them, so like Coutinho, it’s best for all parties to come to an arrangement.

Kieta deal reportedly agreed, but we won’t get him till next year – shame. We’re in a wonderful flow and good spirits at the moment.

Van Dijk is doing everything he can to force his move and I think he’ll be our player this week.

Phillipe is definitely departing us and we’re coming in with a serious chunk of money.

My suggestion would be to go for a world class keeper and we’re sorted.

Steve McManaman would have enjoyed this lol 😀 🙂 😉

This sends a slight bit of dizziness when you look back to Vicarage Road. Maybe we were just simply half-a-sleep hahaha 😀 🙂

That’s Liverpool though in DNA.

I still believe and on this bus with JK that VVD would add steel. I don’t know anything in truth about Naby Kieta, but above all, we’re aiming for quality all over the field and in essence to prevent falling short.

Possibly this and another season, however, top of the tree in ownership simply is commendable work.

You’d have to say, there is deadwood or surplus individuals that need to be moved on.

I know we’d be saying goodbye to a wonderful human being and a fantastic player, but let’s seal-the-deal with Barca, get the wack, and let’s positively strengthen from there.

What a lovely looking Premier League Table. Even after 3 games 😀

Was at work so just catching up on everything;

That was just sheer powerhouse and seemingly, one of our best performances for quite some time.

I seen Mane’s goal and that’s 100 million on it’s own. Salah is real with his drive and conviction and no pretender – what a find. We’ve got the balance as Firmino can play central, and as far as midfield goes, Milner is back in his natural position.

We still need to strengthen and we should now look to cash in on Coutinho.

What a win a perfect cheer me up!

Just catching up on today’s events and listening to (I think) Joey Barton. He’s actually a breath of fresh air compared to his reputation on the pitch.

Totally agree with him that you won’t get 4-0 every week or the most entertaining of football, but you’re getting the most important thing which is 3 points and in fairness to Leicester, they are no pushover.

You have to say this is probably one of Man United’s best starts for a while (bar last season) and Jose Mourinho’s tactics have paid off in bring on pace and a game changer in Marcos Rashford.

There are more so far visible signs of pace and power – very much like ‘a’ familiar side under Sir Alex Ferguson.

Champions League once upon a time essentially was about just 2 teams from each league and when all thrown together, they would be on par with each other.

I know from our own experience in finishing 4th led to a historical triumph in 2005, but a team finishing 4th could have finished 15-20 points behind the champions. That to be is a bit of a gulf in quality and achievement.

So from the 2 made pots, isn’t the starting point of this essentially 2-tier?

I just think if we are going about it in this manner, then the title of the competition needs a rethink. From a personal point of view, I’ve been longing for it to revert back to the old-skool knockout competition.

I like the idea like yesterday of Can given license to surge forward. Keep Wijn and Hendo deep to protect the defenders. Our width in Mane and Salah sorted.

So I’d give either Solanke or Sturridge a start.

Chucky, good luck to your boys – man what a draw!

Maybe a possibility to plan a Wembley visit – for a former hero 😉

Echo Scouser in exile’s comments.

We could have landed with a more rough end of the stick.

The group stages can be a bit of a autumn-winter slog, but I would say our main aim is to get through to phase 2 and see where we are with everything else.

Yeah, that could go either way re Barnsley and Derby, Chucky.

Going to be looking out for Bristol City and Burton too.

We meanwhile have to get past Leicester and try and aim to win some silverware this season.

Too right Chucky.

We’d have to luxury of Barca’s money to buy both Naby Kieta and Van Dijk at 75mill each.

From a business point of view, it’s such a good move as we can lay players like Sakho and Moreno off cheaply to whoever’s interested. They come off our wage bill and Klopp begins to be able inject his own buys and develop the squad.

Any opposition out there is going to encourage a competitive game and one of which can’t be taken lightly.

The good thing about this is that we now have a manager who I’d imagine is familiar with a lot of European sides, so no doubt, he’ll be using all his experience to prepare us in the best possible way.

Lighthearted:

Would anybody op for Rafa to return and join Jurgen Klopp.

That’s a classic tug of war hahaha

Kenny coming round to mediate 😀
