Keita, Fabinho will hopefully continue their improvement and Firmino has 2 in his last 3 league games. Hopefully Gomez is ok.

Virgil has made 10% difference in our defensive solidity in the last 12 months, Gomez the same this season (WHEN AT CB), and Allison has added another 10%. If Trent could focus on his defensive game more than his attacking, we are getting close to the perfect defence for a team that's always relied on attack to win games. Maybe Fabinho playing regular in front of them is the last piece?

That was it! Pr!cks! was

But 1 week later bam, onto the bench - he brought in Trent after little pre season as such but it was a huge signal from Klopp that trent was his #1. He is done at Liverpool. Way down the pecking order. As for the weekend ... Gotta try and rest the guys that we'll need fresh for Napoli. Kieta must start, as should Origi else it just scuppers his mini revival. Sturridge probably can't but i'd like to see him get minutes - same with Shaq - he has been under used - play him! The midfielders are a balancing act, Fabinho has to start then 1 of Milner/Hendo/Gini ... that leave sus in good shape for The week ahead.

We were on a great CL run, Arsenal needed to get rid of Wenger, Chelsea needed rid of Conte..... Utd have issues all over the place. The owners only care about $$$, a manger that only cares about himself, and a squad that doesn’t have the quality. Hope they extend Mourinho’s contract.
Harry Palmr wrote: » The fact that you could win the league with 12 draws tells me the game is now at a much higher level even though people will swear blind it's not as good as it used to be. They also scored just 73 goals and let in 26 which is pretty dismal for title winners by 11 points
