He should sign for us then. He'd love Long sands & Shields beach.

I think we need Perez's endeavour today. Liverpool play an intense game, and we will need runners like Perez, Ritchie, Atsu to counteract them. Also Joselu's ability to drop back and help out could be key - Gayle could be a valuable sub with 20 to go.

Me too, man. It's a shame some have already been injured, still I hope some peacefulness, integrity & decency for the fellow man can be restored amongst the unrest. It's not worth it, it really isn't... No matter how justified one feels to be angry; the moment it manifests as violence to our fellow man, everyone loses...

Why? There's been some violent scenes in the city as it's the day of the Catalan independence referendum. Hundreds injured and some really ugly policing from what videos I have seen.

Burnley are a decent team this season tbf, nobody will be looking forward to playing them.

I rate Hendrick like, thought he looked good at Derby and has come on leaps and bounds since moving to Burnley.

Koeman or Bilic next to go? Fans of both teams are unhappy with the management it seems. Who would have thought it...

Aye, Davy Klaassen being the other one, they essentially bought 3 of the same type of player in Rooney, Sigurdsson & Klaassen, all slow, technical players, none of which are goal-scorers/out and out strikers. Hence them resorting to a very raw, untested youngster upfront despite spending about £150m. Poor recruitment really after knowing they were about to lose their best player and only real striker. I'd be disappointed.

Was just thinking the same. They're still considerably weaker than Liverpool who are well behind their desired level themselves.

Nice one, well his evident hard work and passion is not going unnoticed. Can't be there today but I appreciate the planning, thought and effort that must go into sorting out these displays. Legend.

The media in not providing truthful, fair analysis shocker. Let them crack on I say, who cares about the opinions of those who require falsified media outlets/personas to make their minds up? Anyone from this area know us fans expect nothing but 11 players showing effort and passion every weekend, and under Rafa that is exactly what we have. Couldn't be happier for it either.

Gameiro, McCarthy, Aboubakar, maybe back in for Vazquez on loan? All good options but I suspect if we do bring anyone in, they will be more in the Merino mould rather than a bigger name. I really like Solly March at Brighton, wonder if he could be tempted. He'd be an upgrade on Aarons and actually stays fit.

Find Arsenal a bit boring nowadays. Don't fear playing them as much as I did in years gone by, partially because they're weak as f*** in centre midfield. Shame really cause I have a soft spot for them as a club in the Premier League years but right now they're miles behind City, Utd & Spurs.

I'd be keen to see Lejeune back in the side but I just can't justify dropping the in-form Lascelles and the exceptional Ciaran Clark - who in my opinion has been our best player so far this season closely followed by Merino.

I think Shelvey will start on the bench again, with an unchanged line-up. If we can look as solid as we have most of the season, and limit Liverpool's chances created, I think we have enough about us to get a couple of goals and come away with some points. Excited for this, and really looking forward to seeing the flag display.

I like him, reacts well. I've noticed a few quality stops from him this season like, seems to have developed alot since the Arsenal days.

These lads are f****** legends. If any of the lads helping out with making these banners are on here, I sincerely thank and appreciate you.

Class that. Also looks like Rafa has massive stretch armstrong arms à la Big Sam in that belta of a thread on here somewhere.

Would have been a superb signing in 2011 when we were first linked and would still be a superb signing in 2018. Really good player.

Christensen for Chelsea looks good tbf.

They dropped so deep in the second half and Willian is good but isn't as creative as Hazard in terms of linking the midfield to the forward(s), so Hazard found himself isolated as Chelsea dropped off. He was having a great game before being put up top too.

Power on that hit man, passed the keeper in a flash.

Was a more open, exciting game with Morata on the pitch. Willian coming on instead of Batshuayi has had a negative effect on the game for neutrals. Both teams less threatening than in the first 40 minutes or so.

You watching the game? Bordeaux offering very little I'd imagine. Both teams were unbeaten before today, hoped it would have been a bit more of a contest. PSG is just on a run. Bordeaux have been alright going forward, their striker is horrible though. Except against the mighty Montpellier.

They should just start calling the league The Premier League Break the amount of International games that seem to be played.
