Who knows this season? There's a whole load of contributing factors to our poor form at the moment and it doesn't feel like it at the moment but would anyone really be surprised if this manager and players turn it around? Other sides have had similar runs then put a winning run together this season. I said it would be a season defining period before the Man Utd game and I'm willing to wait further into this run before I start writing the season off. Some of the games coming up will be very different to what we've faced recently and are games that Liverpool have thrived in this season. Yes we need a CB. Whether anyone good enough is available that enables you move Fabinho back into midfield I dunno.

I just can't understand it. Yeah we've been poor a few times recently. The issue at centre back is hindering us a lot. Of course we have to win tonight, no excuses. Do that though and we're 3 points behind with some big games coming up. And you have people saying Liverpool have no chance.

Man City are favourites as it stands. Giving up on the league right now though is just fucking stupid

Yildrim? The one who got stopped by Eubank Jr? What a waste of time that would be

That documentary is hilarious

The UKIP candidate

Shock

I don't think that's the case at all. I think they saw how a centrist Labour government has played it's part in leading us to what we have in government today and don't want that to happen again. Of course a Labour government tomorrow would be better for poorer people than what we have now, but is what Starmer is going to offer going to bring about proper long term change? He's already pandering to the big donors and backtracking on his 10 pledges that he stood for leadership on.

Mad to think this is 10 years ago. His full season in charge didn't quite work out, despite the League Cup win. Our league form in the second half of the season was poor but he got us back on track after Hodgson and Hicks and Gillett

There's probably a good reason he's still without a club. Did his ACL about a year ago didn't he from what I read last time I saw him suggested? Hardly someone you'd put confidence in to get you through an injury crisis at his age

If Liverpool have a move for a CB lined up for the summer but that just can't be done in January, do you do anything that might affect the summer?

It's entirely fair and just an example. There's not going to be any top quality available so the main question is how far down do you go to find an acceptable option? Most of us will agree we need one, including myself. We'll all have different ideas on what's worth it though

Thoughts?

Of course you can't. I don't recall any reports of Keita having fitness issues before joining us (I think I was more worried about the amount of red cards he picked up in his final season at Leipzig!) but there's only so long you can let it go on when you have two or three injury prone players in the same position. You need to try and fix that issue rather than doing nothing.

It will be a shame if they don't manage to come to an agreement. Do we have to look at signing a central midfielder in the summer? We do have numbers there at the moment but you have Thiago, Chamberlain and Keita who all have a history of lengthy lay offs or niggly injuries that keep them out for a few weeks at a time. Milner has just turned 35 and ideally I don't think Klopp would have Henderson starting twice a week. Moving one or both of Chamberlain and Keita on and signing someone who can be relied on fitness wise might be something they consider

0.3% is completely false. But let's assume it's correct. It would be much higher if the hospitals were overwhelmed because no restrictions were in place.

Says central defender in the first paragraph then later in the article that he can play left back and midfield

So we've signed a centre back

What made you think it was closer at the time? Not being a cunt at all, just interested. I just struggled to give Smith a round. His best round was the 8th or 9th, can't remember which, but I think Canelo still won the round. I agree that Saunders is an interesting fight. Just no way he wins a decision against Canelo though over there
