It'll have been over a week since our last game - no-one should be tired, they've all had a nice break in Dubai FFS !

Oh that's bad. Hope the baby recovers quickly.
He really did didn't he. He looked like a deposed Alpha in a dog pack.
Moving Klavan to play at RCB ? Where he never plays ? Asking for trouble. As Hansern said it has to be Matip - VvD again.
Yep. I don't think there can be any doubt that Can + Gini are 2 of the three and normally I'd go with Lallana but Oxlade is also a bit of an action man and has a better passing range for our breaks.
We need another CB, obviously.
As for "ball-carrying" both Chamberlain and Lallana are indeed decent at that, but Coutnho was better, and was also - and this is quite important - more likely to score and create once the ball had actually got near the opposition goal.
Plus he could score free-kicks.
We've got VvD for that now though.
That goes without saying and we are going to find it hard to replace that. That's why I was in the 'force him to stay until he's replaced' camp.
I'm never in favour of selling our best players, and that goes back to Torres, Mascherano, Suarez, Sterling, Alonso et al.
Clearly Torres didn't work out too badly - not that we had any fucking clue - but the last 10 years has been quite sad, really. We've not had the team, manager or investment to keep even ONE of our very best players, and we've been weakened by every departure (bar Torres).
Just have to hope Ox can do what he has in the last couple of games and hits some decent dead balls.
Klavan would be my choice to partner VVD. Gomez and Robinson should probs start. We've always got a chance of dicking anyone with Salah and Mane in the side. I sorta fancy us to get a result but god knows.

6-1 win.
The FBs have a really serious job looking after Sterling and Sane (among others who will pop up in their areas). We need Robertson to play with the quality he showed in the derby and Gomez to stay switched on for 90 minutes.
That isn't going to happen.
Nope, & that's a valid criticism considering his age.
He's gonna be a fucking remarkable CB if he continues in the vein, but there will be many fuck ups along the way. I spent many many hours standing on the Kop slagging off Carra at fullback.
Young defenders make mistakes. In an ideal world, they get loaned out to a side where they get that experience, or they play a few games then get replaced by their better peers, but neither of those options is available to us really.
Yeah, like you I was just hoping all last night that someone would snap them in half. And I was pissed off that KdB was better already after getting twatted the other day.
I do think we're the most likely team to give them a game in the league though.
They're going to lose eventually, and it wouldn't surprise me if it was against us. We're a very good team, score lots of goals and have plenty of pace.
Plus we're at Anfield and we owe them for that mauling a few months ago.
Yeah, Coutinho is a big miss, especially in the form he was in, but fuck it, we can beat those cunts, no worries.
I am rather less concerned with Robertson as he has VvD and Wijnaldum to help him out (and they will and do), however Can has shown he does little to assist in covering the RB and Matip, whilst a good CB, also doesn't show a great propensity for covering. Maybe Oxlade and Salah will help out there. Great to have VvD organising the defence though.
Are you on drugs..? The big games are the games he has cost is this season. Spurs, Everton to name but a few
VVD & Klavan should be the partnership moving forward..
Klavan has been excellent and has a great range of passes in his locker to, so can offer that little extra which would be useful against a team like city.
We've just paid 75m for a top class CB who has settled long-term on the left of the pairing. I'm not for shifting VVD to the right just to facilitate Klavan and wouldn't for one minute think Klavan at RCB is a good idea.
I also happen to think that Lovren might just improve from being relieved of the leader/talker role AND the shift to RCB.

Lovren always looks better at RCB like
Anyway it's City. They'll make all our players look shit
