Adrian is really impressed with Robbo's derriere

As much as I like Chamberlain the character, I still will never understand why it was a moneyball decision to spend £40m on an injury prone player with no definitive position. He has undoubtedly improved under Klopp, but availability is so important its unreal. His lack of it completely negates his potential output. I worry the same thing about Thiago. A 29 year old somwhat injury prone player moving to the toughest league with arguably the most physically demanding manager in the world. It screams disaster.

Moneyball signings are hit and miss just like "regular" signings. Ox was a player Klopp personally wanted not sure if it even was a Moneyball signing. Have to chalk it up as a miss I guess.

Those goals against City made it worth every penny.
 
Argh the irony, I just stumbled on the AXA sponsored video of John Barnes interviewing 4 Liverpool players including Ox and asking each one what their goals were for the new season. John didn't even ask Ox that question he answered for him and just told him his goal was to stay fit! Hopefully its not too serious and wont keep him out for too long. Curtis and Minamino just got more time so silver lining for them.

Saw the same vid before.
Barnes is a good friend of Ox's Dad. Played together for England in the 80s btw. Probably has known Ox since he was a kid.

Ah thanks for that! That's probably where the Liverpool love partly comes from. I don't think I ever heard of oxs dad before... Cool to know!

Hard to argue with this really.
