Ajax losing at home to Willem II. On course to lose their first league game since March. It'll be their first home loss in the league since November 2017. @Panna King you watching?

Replacing Maguire with Soyuncu a season before goes some way to explaining it. We were good with Maguire but nothing special. Now we are with Soyuncu's form so far. Not to mention Evans being quality on the cheap and Pereira and Chilwell improving their game too. I actually didn't mind Maguire to be honest. Think he gets far too much hate from all parts but it goes to show chasing the money doesn't always work out straight away?

all over City. Never gave them a sniff.

Rodgers Signs New Contract til 2025

3-0. Totally unexpected! @Toinho wtf is going on

2-0 to Perth

Fornaroli scores against his old club! Shit game so far but moment of genius from Fornaroli. Keeper should have come out but Fornaroli heads in expertly.

Genuinely thought it'd be a mix of seniors/youngsters for both squads that are going and staying. Can see Villa giving you an absolute walloping but on the flip side, you giving an absolute thrashing to whoever you play in Qatar. Favourable for us given the time frame in which you would leave Qatar and then play us. Does Klopp do Xmas Day training

It's incredible but not in the least bit surprising, sadly.

definite miracles needed at Everton though...

Not heard of that place!

My favourite one of the season for obvious reasons.

Think Dortmund will become more consistent even though it may still be under Favre. Gladbach and RB will put up good fights but perhaps tail off towards the end of the season. Participation in Europe is still a big factor - Dortmund and Bayern have big enough squads to rotate I think? Not sure if RB and Gladbach have the same kind of depth.

Big fan of this if it happens. In-stadium communications need to improve and this would be a big help. Like they do in NFL and it works to a tee.

New contract for Richarlison

Van Dijk has gone up in my estimations for giving some back to Piers

And any of the words before that? I think it's fairly certain he's staying here and won't go to Arsenal right now.

Can the media stop being cunts now and stop touting him to a job that, right now, he'd be foolish to go to?

Having an absolute blinder here.

Reckon lose a few more games and continue to play turgid football. Think a lot may depend on where you may be at certain points in the season. Like you say 9th is about right compared to the negative press associated with OGS and how/where Utd are at right now. But if on Jan 1st after a busy Xmas period you find yourself 14th for example, and only 1 point above relegation, maybe the axe begins to fall. Find yourself in 8/9th this time next month and is it that bad? The other thing is probably that Man Utd don't want to fork out millions on compensation 1) for OGS if they sack him and 2) to prise a manager away from another club. Who knows - perhaps Man Utd are just waiting for the right person to be available and until that happens, Solskjaer is safe. He doesn't seem to have proverbially lost the dressing room just yet otherwise you wouldn't really be picking up many points as you have done. Getting knocked out of the Europa League may signal the end.

That's class. Looks very imposing.

Is this the last you'll say on the matter @LFCMadLad

He's going nowhere.

Don't think this is true. Luiz marginally improves a defence made up of Chambers, Holding, Sokratis, Mustafi... That's not a top 4 defence and it's that kind of defence which really holds you back. I like players like Torreira, Guendouzi for your midfield but as you say, no-one really showing anything good in this team.
