Geordie Ahmed

Lush pass that was

Get in, Anderson again

Filthy from Miley in that move, Parkinson should have scored

Ashby having a decent game so far

It would spread out the payment Currently he's costing £8.8m per year, he signed a 4.5 year contract which means he has 3 years left with a total value of £26m, if we do nowt then that remains £8.8m per year If he signs a new 5 year contract then that would be £5.3m per year

Our best player today Considering he was playing in a position that's not his natural position he was superb, looks so assured on the ball Think there is very little chance he gets sent out on loan, he's very much part of the squad and he'll get enough minutes across the season

Impressed with him Thought he was relatively quick, strong and comfortable in possession, was also willing to get forward Be interesting to see if he's sent on loan or kept around the squad

Miley our best player by some distance Thought Tonali was off it first half but the switch at half time helped him, was better in the second half Was also impressed with Alex Murphy, seems relatively quick and also comfortable in possession Pope was lush, he's levels above Dubravka

What a save by Pope

I think he's been fairly average, especially knowing how class he can be

Miggy lad ?

Miley easily the standout for us so far

That was too easy for them, canny enough finish

He won MVP at the Nike Cup, think it was at Old Trafford. Iniesta and Torres were two previous winners too. He looked impressive in that tournament and had such high hopes for him.

I'm usually keen on getting young players out on loan and getting game time, in his case I wouldn't be considering it, firstly he's only just turned 17 so still very young and secondly he hasn't looked out of place in our side I think training with the first team and then getting valuable minutes in cup games, certain league matches will be huge for him. This time next year we can easily look at the situation and send him out on loan if necessary Based on what I've seen I don't think he'll have a loan stint, he'll get enough minutes this season and by next season can see him genuinely competing for a spot in the team

He didn't look out of place, if anything he looked more composed than a number of players on the pitch Love how he's always either asking for the ball or moving into space to get it (the exact opposite to McTominay) Said in the other thread seeing him play now makes sense why we aren't looking at other CM's, he's more than capable

Seeing Miley in pre season so far and I'm not surprised that we are seemingly not in for any further CM's

Went through Wilson, pen that

Get in, lush from Anderson

I've always liked him as a player and I'm excited about him (Despite being gutted about Maxi going it is possible to hold such an opinion) His ability to play quick 1-2's and his strength in finishing well with both feet is why I think he'll do very well for us

I'm not sure our squad is really thin We have 2 players for every position, due to versatility we have some flexibility in this area The quality of those players could get better but if it means it takes place over a few years rather than a sticky plaster job now then I'd much rather wait

Aye It's the RTG version of Giggs (Though the SEB existed way before) It's to do with the Sophie Ellis-Bexter joke about murder on Zidane's floor

He still had 2 years left on his contract so would be interested to see where this new deal takes him

It's one thing to say you will make a judgment on sponsorship, there is a bit more logic that can be applied (still think if it gets taken to court a decent lawyer gets it dealt with) but transfer fees are an absolute minefield How on earth can you make a judgement that isn't flawed? Is Harry Maguire the benchmark? Or is Antony the benchmark? Or Iwobi? What about Chris Wood? And on and on, it's ludicrous I think these clubs know it too but it's just part of them being awkward at every single opportunity and trying to derail/slow us down

What a bunch of whingeing bastards, does have whiny Klopp and Levy written all over it
