With our new look midfield the opposition wouldn’t get near the box.

He isnt there Oliver. I think you are really confused.
Perhaps you should go and look again.
He didn't forget about Sturrdge, you twank, he mentions him. He may have been confused about his status at Liverpool but he didn't forget him, as he did Mane.
I'm done with you on this one, already.
CreepyOli isn't autistic. He's just fucking dull.
At least proper spergy outbursts are funny. This cunt is just like Mr Logic from Viz, except less funny and we don't get to see him beaten senseless at the end of every post.
Christ. Someone else explain this to this fucking idiot. All my crayons are at home.
Yeah, I think he is.
So he should have been included in the right hand column as well.
Fabinho, Nabil Fekir, Naby Keita and the completion of Liverpool's plan for life after Philippe Coutinho
It was a sale which was met with widespread criticism.
After Liverpool held firm and retained a wantaway Philippe Coutinho in the summer of 2017, Reds supporters largely praised the club for sticking to their guns and refusing to offload their No.10.
So their decision to subsequently agree to Coutinho's wishes at the second time of asking in January was given the short shrift by so many.
Understandably so.
After scoring 12 goals in 20 appearances, Coutinho was at the heart of a Liverpool team who were beginning to hint at a potentially glorious campaign last term.
However, when Barcelona came calling, his head was turned for a second time. Jurgen Klopp insisted he had no option but to sell the Brazil international for an eye-watering £142million.
Coutinho's Anfield return on Sunday has once again thrust him back into the thoughts of Liverpool supporters, but his sale hasn't been the death knell many predicted it would be.
Six months on, that £142million is perhaps powering the club towards its exciting midfield restructure.

RB Leipzig's sixth-placed finish in the Bundesliga meant Liverpool would be paying the German side £52.75million for Naby Keita .
If Leipzig had ended up seventh or below in Germany's top flight, Keita would have cost Liverpool £48million.
However, securing a Europa League spot means that the Reds will have to shell out £52.75million, which sees Keita become the second most expensive player in Liverpool history behind Virgil van Dijk.
Another big-money midfield recruit this summer is Fabinho, who was quietly targeted before the initial £39.3m swoop was confirmed like a bolt from the blue last week.

The Reds pulled off a surprise by landing for the Brazilian midfielder last Sunday, having agreed a deal with Ligue 1 side Monaco.
The deals for Keita and Fabinho see Liverpool's spending up to around the £92m mark this summer, leaving them - theoretically at least - close to £50million left in the kitty from Coutinho's exit.
That brings us to how Liverpool might use their pot to replace Barcelona's Coutinho.
That brings us to Nabil Fekir, and a deal worth £48.4million.
Liverpool's recruitment staff scouted the attacking midfielder extensively and watched on as Fekir scored 23 goals last term for OL.
Positive discussions have taken place between the clubs, with common ground being approached in terms of a fee for the 24-year-old.
It is believed that should the transfer go through, Liverpool would pay 55million euros (£48.4m) up front plus a maximum of 5m euros (£4.4m) in add-ons.
The deal could even be completed as early as Friday, although the next 48 hours is seen as critical.
That £48.4million outlay deal would take Liverpool's spending on a midfield re-shape up to around £140million - LESS than the whopping fee received for Coutinho.
The signing of Keita was conducted while Liverpool still had plans to keep Coutinho, and the addition of his defensive-minded compatriot Fabinho is unlikely to have been completed with the Brazil international's absence in mind.
And while the sale of Coutinho was one that left many scratching their heads back in January, you will hear few grumbles about it around Anfield if - and, seemingly now, when - Fekir follows Fabinho and Keita through the entrance this summer.

Yeah i think they have made that decision.
It's taken longer than i thought it would, but having made some mistakes along the way they seem to have put the right organisation in place and the right people in place.
Edwards is clearly on top of his brief, i had my doubts about him in the early days and Klopp is Klopp. He is not perfect but his players play for him, he gives them some freedom to enjoy the game and we're better because of it.
We've positioned ourselves very nicely over the past couple of years. We've made smart transfer decisions without a significant net spend - which i've always put down to the stadium improvements draining the budget.
And we look ready to go all in now.
Fabinho is the type of signing we just haven't made enough of - an experienced high quality 24 year old that has room to improve but clearly improves us anyway.
Fekir could be on the brink of becoming a genuine star, again he's an experienced 24 year old with room to improve.
Keita could be on the brink of retirement for all i know but he claims to be 23 and I'm looking forward to seeing him in red.
They are three serious additions for next season. Anyone else is a bonus at this stage

Well, as I already said, yeah.
Children, please

You style it out sunshine.
Me id probably go post in another thread. Not you though. You stay strong.
I'll put you on the naughty step if you keep answering back, Oncy.
Ermm. actually, I think you'll find...er....yes...erm....
What's Rees-Mogg got to do with anything?
He's Walter The Softy
Certainly a strong statement but let's wait and see how they gel and how we look 8-10 games in.
City were ruthless against the bottom half.
We were anything but so if we can turn that around then we would have a chance but I still think going from 76 to 90 points is a step too far even if City drop off a bit
