Surprised he hasn't left Lazio after all these years.
I would buy Declan Rice in Jan if we can’t get Jude.
Ahaha WTF - he'll cost more than Bellingham with the English Tax.
Buy them both...midfield sorted for a good few years
why?
We don’t take enough risks, according to Klopp.
I don't know about that... we play a geriatric James Milner week in, week out.
Cause Reece James, Walker and Richarlison are injured.
Arsenal are so lucky this season. Rub of the green again.
Leeds should have had a goal.
4 points clear at the top of the table now. If we can't win the title this year, it would be great if Arsenal beat City to it.
No thanks. I can stomach City's dominance. Arsenal winning a title would be the greatest evidence of our owner's failures.
I'm with Rurik. Forget their fans, they will have done it the 'right way' giving Arteta time and some money but nothing like the Oil State clubs. And it'd fuck with the heads of that arrogant club/fans/Guardiola no end - you'd love to see it (whether it's Arsenal or us).
That said I don't count us out yet. City have shown more weakness this season (they've not really played anyone of real consequence yet unless you include United or Newcastle away, which they drew 3-3) and Haaland may have started like a house on fire but he'll get injured or have a poor spell. As far as reeling them in, the Rangers game and now this may have kick-started our season, our confidence will be sky high and the World Cup break may help too.
We are 10 points behind City with a game in hand but have yet to go to the Etihad. A very tough ask but we've come from further behind them before.
We're 14 points behind Arsenal but with a game in hand. If we win that, and against them at Anfield, then that's 8 points. Arsenal aren't going to continue their start and 8 points would be easily recoverable over 28 games.
It's worth remembering that their first 6 games were Villa, Fulham, Bournemouth, Leicester, Palace & Brentford and they lost 3-1 at United (and were lucky as hell to win yesterday at Leeds). They aren't an all conquering juggernaut by any stretch of the imagination, though played a great game against us it should still be noted.
In all likelihood it's not going to happen but it's also worth considering it as still being possible for a team under Klopp, that has overcome larger deficits (forget what Klopp said, he's not saying that to the team in private).

If we played (and especially DEFENDED) like we did against City, we can beat anyone and go on a long run.
All eyes will be on our defense when Trent returns to the lineup.
And our defence!
I think Trent is still our main option at RB. Gomez is worse at right back than him, and although Milner obviously stepped it up yesterday, I don't think he'll be playing too many games at that standard there. Trent just needs to get some form, quickly. We do need a Tsimikas style player to compete with him too.
I was wondering before the game yesterday if it would have been worth Tsimikas playing RB.
We have a left footed RWF in Salah, would it be that risky to start getting Tsimikas some minutes on the right? We also need to get Ramsey on the pitch so he doesn't shit the bed when we really, really need him.
