    I'm certain that Robertson was forced on Klopp and that Klopp is making a point to those who have insisted on that signing.

    Even if it was an older head while we waited on the right targets being available it would be something.

    Robertson wasn't a Klopp buy. Klopp needed a LB and they got us Robertson.

    You can have Fonte' for £20m. He was Southampton's captain, so should fit in well.

    At the time we bought Lovren I said we should have bought him instead. Too old now.

    nah, nah, he's fine, trust me, I'm a doctor. At £20m I'm doing myself.

    Davinson Sanchez? :p
    Maguire maybe (not sure he's liverpool class, surely better than lovren and co though).
    Kolasinac
    Rudiger (looked good so far)
    Kiko Fermenia has looked good everytime i've seen him.

    Not including Aurier as he looks like he has the attributes but is a liability a la moreno (well a bit better than him).

    or what they really could have done was made up with sahko and not sold him to palace

    Maguire is comfortably 'Liverpool class'.

    Whatever the **** that is. Even Swansea have conceded less than them this season.

    Atletico vs Roma will be like watching beige paint dry.

    It's all about systems and how well players defend.

    Is Maguire a top 4 player... i dont think so (but its hard to gauge defenders, partnerships/systems etc). Whether that means he's good enough all round or in the top 12 defenders in the league, i rate others higher.

    Look at Michael Keane, in a team like Burnley who offer loads of protection and do not necessarily require ball playing CBs, he looked brilliant. Stick him into a shambolic Everton side (and its not him alone) and he's looked a shambles.

    Just because Swansea have conceded less than Liverpool does not make Fernandez or Mawson world beaters.

    I'm not saying Maguire is poor. I think he's pretty solid with plenty of upside. I just don't think he's a top 4 defender yet. Lastly i already said he's better than the mugs they have at liverpool :p

    Yeah i'm not expecting much from this game. Roma don't need to win and Atletico won't be one for attacking so not expecting fireworks here

    I said that you were actually talking about it, so I assumed that you'd actually watched your team play, for once.
    Are you saying that you were mouthing off on here like that without even having seen it?! <laugh>

    The only one who was mouthing off was you after the NLD (when you eventually showed up)

    You then spun a pack of lies about how many games I watch, and eventually tripped yourself up when your lying contradicted your own claims <laugh>

    Nope. You were spouting off and now it turns out that you didn't even watch it! <laugh> Typical.

    Of course I watched it. You tripped yourself up when you couldn’t remember what lies you’d spouted.

    Stop making a twat of yourself PNP <ok>
