    saw the game at the time as for once i had a good stream ,just ****ing typical that , Henderson was no worse than the rest (subs excepted) not that is saying much.
    my view on him is that the injury has left him unable to fully utilise his strengths so emphasising his weaknesses but at least he tries to protect the defence. I'm still unsure what Wini was bought for unless one of Lala , Firm or Couts is sold because if it was for CM nothing i have seen from him in the PL suggests he can do it.

    Lol the Gini signing is a weird one but I suspect he was signed to replace Hendo/Milner as the utility man.

    The whole team needs a ball winner next to them!

    Point is, you keep saying he's a squad playing but also keep saying he's not good enough. Surely it's one or the other?

    We have improved our squad and made a profit at the same time - how much we have improved by remains to be seen.

    It's hard to tell until we have a fully fit squad.

    We have been heavily linked with Dahoud and Paredes which suggests Klopp really wants a maestro.

    Unfortunately as I've said..you could sell any one of those 4 and I'd not notice the difference over the entire season lol

    Yes - he's not good enough to be a regular starter but he's OK to fulfil a specific role occasionally.

    If we don't play to his strengths, then we may as well sell him (applies to everyone really).

    How many points do you get for "a profit" ?

    You get one point - the point being is that we improved the squad without spending anything.

    Whereas we typically overspend on players who don't add anything. :)

    Lol remains to be seen how he gets on - I won't judge him until he plays alongside Can.

    Until then, we have zero balance in midfield.

    I do have more bad news - Ilori is likely to leave before the end of the window :(

    Prediction. Out of:

    Lallana
    Firmino
    Coutinho
    Gini

    Who is going to actually get consistent at the best end of their game? Who will produce over a majority of games rather than one in three?

    TBF i'd forgotten we still had him
    Since at the height of our CB injuries last season he got nowhere the team it was inevitable he would be surplus.

    sorry i don't gamble

    honestly evidence suggests you might as well roll a dice though the one i find most irritating is Couts random , wild ,long range shots 7 times per game after a match he scores in. He rarely seems to look for the incisive pass anymore.

    Admittedly my irritation with Couts is partially we know what he can do the frustration being we don't see it often enough
