Liverpool need to sort that midfield out, fix that and they'll be good again Won't be cheap though, they need a couple of serious players

They've fallen apart of late, both on and off the pitch Had conceded only 7 in 17 games Conceded 10 in 3 since

Man-U have Huddlestone and Liverpool Jay Spearing for that Ritchie is better than them

I think he goes unchanged again

Extra time

Bad loss for them If Napoli can beat Roma later on that puts them 13 points clear, they should win it from here

I think it was the other way round

He doesn't even have a youth contract so it's not even a case of making a bid for him is it? I presume in the summer he can sign a 3 year youth contract with any club, then Sunderland will get compensation as a result of it

But doing that now whilst we only have Trippier as RB is just foolish

Ashby doesn't take a squad space until next season so not sure why some are keen to get rid of Manquillo now Same applies to Gordon, so if I'm not mistaken Wood leaving means we still have a spot free (Maddison anyone?

Dennis Wise scouting suggest he's like a very raw Trippier. Technically good, gets forward and crosses into the box. Also has scored a free kick that Trippier would have been proud of.

Never seen him play or know too much about him but seems like a sensible signing. Our scouts clearly rate him. He won't take a squad place until next season so Howe and the coaching team can get a real close look at him to see if he can really be a legit backup for Trippier.

But that's the point, he could have supported them from when he was a kid and how many times he played for them is irrelevant

I don't get the Enrique hate, bit odd So he loves Liverpool, why is that an issue? Maybe he's always supported them and only started to show it after he retired Just because he played more for us doesn't mean he needs to like us more, would be a strange rule that Bigger picture is he was class for us and I'm not too critical of anyone wanting to leave Mike Ashley's Newcastle United, we had plenty of fans that walked away so a footballer doing the same is understandable

Are you on a windup? Weghorst was clearly offside

Yes

Ah, didn't know that. Guess they have some security there.

Out of contract in the summer isn't he? So they'll get nowt

Never nice when a player gets injured, you'd think this will humble the doylems on RTG Though, somehow I doubt it

Aye, it's a bit strange they made so many changes

In the summer aye, makes no sense to let him go now as he provides cover at LB, plus Ashby wouldn't take a squad place until next season

Can't do an official pre contract until he is in the final month of his contract No doubt we can and probably will agree something unofficially

At least they are no longer going with the line "that ownership is not what it seems, they won't spend" They are now going with calling everyone we sign shite It's hilarious seeing them lose it (I say seeing, sadly don't fully get to enjoy it because they are a bunch are sensitive doylems)

I'd be shocked if we got £12m for Fraser, think it will be closer to £5m

I've always spoken positively about Gordon as a player, never understood those saying he's shite. So no revisionism from me as I am happy with the signing, as I think Howe can really elevate his game. The fee I admit is a touch high based on what I think he's worth but it's not my money so need to stop giving a shit. We've employed some serious people who can worry about the intricacies of FFP so I'll try and not care too much. As things stand, Wood out, Gordon in, are we overall better? I think so.
