The Bear. Everybody should be watching this show.

Do we think a CB is on the horizon for tomorrow? I very much doubt it, but the back four needs some more quality added into it. They’ve regressed as a unit, even when the midfield is working like mad for them.

Virgil charged with improper conduct for his behaviour after the card. So there’s an extra two games added to his suspension. I was very disappointed with his reaction. He came through Isak to get the ball, he knows it’s a foul. Now we will likely be struggling even more than we already were at the back because he had no self control.

You overall happy with our business since he left?

Under Michael Edwards we’d probably be seriously looking at a player like that. Under this new regime, we’ll sit by and watch somebody else sign our targets, then buy from them a season later at five times the original price. We let Wolves sign Nunes & Fulham sign Palinha, both players we seriously liked. Then we ended up with a complete dosser in Arthur. The lack of movement this week has been concerning. It’s like they have no idea who they are going to bring in now they fucked the main targets.

We’ve made a bid for some 30 year old Japanese bloke from Stuttgart.

We completely squandered our time with Klopp and that team that won the league. How many times have we been a point or two off city at the end of the season? Lost two champions league finals to Madrid. I’m certain we would have won more if Klopp had been properly backed like other managers at the top clubs.

Caicedo & Lavia both expected to join Chelsea. What a complete and utter fuck up by the club, it’s embarrassing. Fully expecting somebody to try and make out that it’s all part of some master plan. Bollocks. Unless that plan is to miss out on our main midfield target and balls up trying to bid for another then it’s been nothing short of a pathetic week for Liverpool football club. Obviously, there is still quality around, but everybody knows we have 100m we can spend, so everybody is going to be 20%+ more expensive than they were a week back. But we will have to pay it, we NEED a midfielder and we NEED a centre back. That defensive display yesterday was terrible, the same terrible that we have seen week in week out for a year. It’s unacceptable.

City have won 5 from the last 6. If you do t think they can go on to do the exact same in the next few years you are smoking strong stuff.

The snobbery towards the Bundesliga only shows that those people don’t watch the fucking thing. their title race was much better than the one over here.

I don’t mind our third, way better than the away kit.

I think this too. Now he’s actually weighing things up, he’s realising that having a happy settled family and being a club legend isn’t so easy to walk away from. That being said, it’s very poor to let Bayern go through all this negotiating to then reject them. But I don’t like Bayern either, so…..lol.

Don’t see that happening, I think he signs a new 5 year deal now.

Did Leicester sneak into the Wolves kit room? I’m a fan of more subtle kits in general, but some of the offerings this year are unimaginative af.

Admittedly, I’m judging Amrabat from his World Cup performance (the worst thing to do I’m aware) but since you watch your Serie A, I’ll trust you judgement on him. Getting both lads plus a CB would help my blood pressure level going into the new season.

Second vid for Lavia rejected. Apparently we are going to explore a move for some young lad from Brazil. We were looking at Lavia when Fabinho was still here, so I’m hoping that there is somebody with a bit more experience coming in as well. Cause we cannot lose Henderson & Fabinho and replace them with just one 18 year old. Amrabat would be a good option, but he’s all but signed for Utd.

That was a long way to go to agree with me

Yeah, he’s the man for the job.

Defence as a whole have shipped 4 goals in the second half.

Adrian manages to look atrocious even in a pre season friendly. Whatever he’s being paid, it’s too much.

Apart from Ward, all of those players had played numerous games for the first team. These city players they are flogging have never made a senior appearance for them.

Another city academy player who has played fuck all minutes for them but goes for an obscene amount. They flogged some fella to Southampton for 10m and a lad who was playing league one last season to Burnley for 17m. Dodgy dealings going on here, I’m sure of it.

That’s us buying Colwill gone then

Surprise, surprise.

Plymouth win.
