We need to get off to a winning start. No other outcome will do. And there are two words I don't want to hear this season: transition and gel.

I'm really excited about watching Keita in a Liverpool shirt. He linked up so well with Werner at Leipzig. Hopefully he can do the same with our front 3.

Think.Klopp's made the right decision for now by leaving Fabinho on the bench,.but will be interesting to see how cohesive Milner, Wij and Keita are.

All media outlets go on endlessly about Alisson having to perform being so expensive. Despite chelsea spending more on a keeper and I've heard no comments on him

Oh right - I read in the echo that the club are not happy? Which implied that they didn’t know? But didn’t he also say he was fully fit only a few days ago? I’m confused!

If they (as in the club and klopp) did know, then it’s negligent not bringing in another defender.

All I know is that there were reports on and off throughout the season that Lovren was taking painkillers to get him through the game.
I don't know if that was every game or if it was intermittent.
We've done pretty well with transfers recently, I imagine there just wasn't the right player available. We've seen that Klopp targets the man he wants and isn't really interested in second best.
Lovren can be improved upon, but not that easily.
