    You don't understand our system... the midfield is purely the engine that's why he's changed it so often, to keep it fresh. Our attacking outlet comes from the fullbacks and front 3.

    Klopps midfield isn't supposed to be creative.

    So when the front 3 isn’t working what’s the plan B?
    Is that where the drawn games evolve from?

    I think Henderson is a far better player than he’s often given credit for. Keita maybe starting to come good?

    I take your point though. They’ve overachieved due to that incredibly mobile front 3, and the best CB in Europe.

    Then it’s a limited system, over reliant on the front 3

    Drop Firmino deeper and play Origi.

    So essentially yes!!

    We do need more creativity but not for his plan A.

    He likes a compact midfield, although (some will laugh) Keita will come good even if his first season has been poor. He's clearly got the talent, just not the confidence. Even in training etc. He's such a quiet low key guy... needs to relax a bit.

    Front 5 usually, our midfield drop in to cover the fullbacks. Very clever system when it clicks.

    Shaquiri came in as the Fekir deal fell through, injury disrupted his season though. Shame as he was looking very good.

    Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld, 30, is being linked with a £25m move away from Spurs - with Premier League rivals Arsenal interested in the Belgian international. (Sun on Sunday)

    I do hope it’s Van Dykes responsibility to turn back the clock on Demba Ba day

    I was surprised to see just how many Liverpool fans were at Euston Station travelling to the game when we arrived on the way to palace,far more than Chelsea
    Wonder how many seats are actually used by scousers and mancs when Liverpool & Utd play at home
    I think it would take decades of success for City to ever make a dent in that nationwide support

    Yeah I know, it's a crock of ****. And the Sun are scumbags.

    Only posted it so HIAG leaps in and says 'Toby to Arsenal' ! 6 month avatar forfeit, get it written up Spurlock'

    To which I will reply, 'I don't think he will go to Arsenal, so I'll take that bet' <ok>

    Romero is a ****ing beast of a Keeper, surely he won't want to stay as a No2 there for much longer ?

    Yep. Wish people understood the whole story not just the headlines. It's ****ing absolutely criminal what that paper has done/does.

    The Esso garage keeps offering me a free copy, when I refuse they think I'm weird. Stupid ****s.

    He's a money grabbing lazy ****, does nothing and lives a luxury life. Probably best mates with Sanchez.

    It's not just the Liverpool thing either. The Sun are a ****ing scumbag paper, peddling the right wing establishment lies and slander aided and abetted by that **** Murdoch.

    Yeah everything about them is just so wrong. Can't believe people actually read it. Let's be honest, if you read that **** you're an absolute dumbass.

    I remember Hillsborough vividly
    We’d just been hammered 4-0 away at Blackburn when we listened to all the horror unfold on the radio on the way back to Manchester
    In that day and age you believed what was written in the press and the police were beyond reproach so for many years I and many many others always thought the scousers were to blame.
    Utterly shameful of the media and establishment to allow that to continue for decades when they all knew the truth

    I'd put the Daily Mail in the same category. The Hitler supporting, Black shirt cheering, Mandela is a terrorist bleating poison peddlers. People actually think that newspaper is respectable journalism, when it's just a mouthpiece to spread hate and fear about anybody who isn't white and middle class.
