They're so slow and tedious progressing the ball. This team of players would have been terrifying in Klopp's more urgent and dynamic setup.

Wow! Not given offside?! Surprised by that

Atleti have had some nice play. And there it is! Llorente scores!

They can't believe they're this dull with their two £250 million players on the pitch

Wirtz man

Nasty challenge on Isak

Oh no. Chelsea scored.

Chelsea getting smashed would be so funny man

Under Slot Liverpool play so much slower in their build up than we do. Hopefully we see Isak return to the 6 goal version we saw at the slower tempo Sociedad. So glad our play style isn't so overly possession focused and possession heavy. Not a fan of this play style at all.

Wirtz still stinks.

So glad he ignored him on that cut back

He did go on to say that can always change and is always flexible, but that's what he's been told.

The best thing about this transfer so far is how happy the guy is having joined. You can see that he really appreciates that the club believed in his ability, and there's a lot he has to work with and mould further, and he has the attitude to commit to getting even better. With Newcastle we have to put ourselves in position to be able to make an earlier call on talented players, before the more established clubs are willing to go all in, and that's what we've done here. I actually like that he was somewhat unheralded and under the radar when he was younger. It's likely to mean less of an ego and a Newcastle as a stepping stone mentality, like a certain someone that recently left.

Okay, but when you stated there was "zero chance", surely you'd have a reason as to why you were that certain? Especially when my post didn't state any such certainty, and just commented on what we may go with due to Barca's setup and the fact we will have to start Woltemade against Bournemouth with Wissa and Gordon still not available. Considering the fact Woltemade was cramping up to the extent he had to come off last game, do you think we can get away with him starting Thursday and then again on Sunday?

Very well thought out counter.

Yeah, he's not even got the fee right in his article.

Lahm: The €85m (£73.5m) that Newcastle are paying for Woltemade is therefore a gamble. The owners from Saudi Arabia and the club’s management are new to the business. In a gold rush atmosphere, mistakes are made and miracles are believed in. Someone should tell Mr. Lahm that Liverpool just forked out a record £130 million for our previous striker who we supposedly bought in this gold rush atmosphere of mistakes and hopeful miracles. Embarrassing article. Especially with how poorly Wirtz has started, while Woltemade has come straight in and scored in his first game

Think we may see a starting front three of Barnes, Gordon and Elanga for this one. Flick's high line can be pretty outrageous, and so we may look to look to punish them in behind early and often. Also think we might like Gordon's high intensity pressing from the front going against these lot. Then we have the whole issue of having to turn around and play Bournemouth on Sunday, and so will likely save Woltemade's legs for that one, and have him come off the bench for around 15 mins in this game. Think at Bournemouth we'd then see Woltemade, Murphy and perhaps Elanga start.

Long throw coaches incoming.

Speak for yourself bed wetter!

To think people were saying he wasn't a striker and was no better than Osula just a few days ago man. So disgusting

Had to get the three points today to get the season up and running. The fact Woltemade has scored the goal to seal the deal is just magnificent. Over the moon for the guy. Get in!

When it backfires you just end up looking really stupid. So by all means keep doing it, but don't start crying when our players get injured, and when Liverpool fans now start taking the piss because you were all out there posting about Isak getting injured. Can't even imagine how fucking embarrassing that must now be getting that thrown back in your faces if you had put that out there.

I don't know why people take such delight in wishing injury on opposition players. Seen it backfire way too often over the years to ever feel comfortable doing so. Of course now the one player we are all most eager to see come in, who plays the same position and is replacing the player people were wishing injury on, is now injured himself. Fuck sake

Good thing we pulled that Osula deal in the end.
