Liverpool were very much like us last season and came home with a wet sail once the injuries and fixture congestion eased up. The top 6 is still very much in our reach which is a good season. Success isn't going to be linear.

Exactly, Ashworth sets the footballing strategy. Yes he would have a say on signings, but the data and recommendations will come from the scouting team. Then Eddie Howe, Andy Howe, Ashworth and Steve Nickson will decide who to target.

Maddison, Diaby and Livramento would have been mint.

it’s a season long loan, so the fee was always going to be paid next season. So it can’t be this.

Tripps putting on this limp a bit?

Trippier! That had nothing to do with beating the low block.

Mudryk not great against a low block.

Aussie ref, useless.

Ritchie is awful off the ball. Running around like a mad man and leaving his man free.

What’s Amrabat been like? Looks stiff and slow whenever I’ve seen him.

Agree that the behaviour of Klopp and Arteta can be detestable. But haven’t seen too much of Emery being like that.

Would love Paqueta and Bowen.

I’d worried about Emery going to Chelsea or Man Utd if I was them.

Yes, but I don't think he would be available at a reasonable price.

Thought he was excellent. Love the bloke.

Carrick was class.

2 decades. It’s like a child’s head has been placed on Michael Carrick body.

Krafth has been excellent.

Class ball from Bruno

doesn’t make sense, because his development is being stunted. I just don’t think the club think he is worth the 30 mill and think they can spend it elsewhere.

the kid has just turned 19. Surely his parents are driving him to training?

I am sure there are triggers that need to be reached ie. 10 appearances for the obligation to kick in. Don’t think you can have a straight out obligation anymore to circumvent FFP.

I would assume with our FFP issues, there are doubts he is worth 30 mill and it could be better spent elsewhere. I raised this months ago.

We were class first half, didnt make our dominance count. Their first goal was against the run of play, but we gave way too much space to Leao. After this, we panicked as we knew we needed to win and showed naivety against a more experienced opponent at this level.

I cant think of any myself. Maybe Bruno Fernandes and Maddinson?
