Bale, I sensed was moving even before he did because of his attitude and doing nothing to refute the rumours. Kane however I don't get the impression will go anywhere next summer. He seems extremely content at Spurs and being the focal point of the whole team. Maybe in a couple of years but we will see.

If in the unlikely case of him wanting a move, nothing short of £200M will be accepted by Levy because of his importance to the team. The Neymar sale really fucked up the market for everyone

Great job on the result. Sadly, it was too late to watch and seems iit was a good decision not to stay up for it!
We've had a shocking month or so. Injuries have been pretty bad but the defense is just a shambles atm and needs some real improvement

Couple of things for LFC that have stood out so far this year:

-We're pressing less, possibly due to having more games this year with CL, but still giving up the same quality of shots last year when we pressed more. That's not good.
-This seems mainly due to Henderson. His stats have fallen way down, injuries might have finally caught up to him. Can doesn't seem to have the mental ability to play as a DM or a CB, he's really an 8 not a 6.
-Keita coming in next year doesn't solve this as his stats have him as one of the world's best 8's, using him as a 6 would be criminal.
-Basically we need to buy a new DM if Henderson's stats stay where they are and even if they start trending upwards I'd still look at buying one as we really don't have anyone else that can play that role sans maybe Gini.
-Due to Henderson and Can's issues as a 6 I don't think it really matters who we play at CB/DB, they're going to get exposed regardless.
-Granted Lovren seems shot and I could definitely be convinced that Migs's time is up as well.

I think Klopp will get this sorted out and I don't see us falling out of the Top 4 but with the front 4 we have we should have been challenging for the top with ManC and I don't see that happening now.

I love Salah. I think if he can get more comfortable and stays fit, he can be a talisman for Liverpool for years to come. He just has something special about him. His vision is very impressive, and obviously his pace is blistering. But its the ability to set up his teammates that makes him special.

Anyone still doubting Salah? He was magnificent today. Id argue after Couthino, he is their best player now, talent and potential wise.

Most expensive team ever assembled and it comes down to Fellaini for knock downs. How many away games at top 6 sides is that for Mourinho now with nothing to show for it? It's one thing to grind out a result if you're an inferior team. Instead he sets up like he's the inferior team and just hoping to knick one. It's ridiculous.

These are the 25 most expensive football squads in the world

Actually they lost that title of most expensive. Guess it makes sense the only team ahead of them in the table is the one English team ahead of them on the list. Hurts when the most expensive player is out injured too.

He looks to have improved his finishing, as guilty of missing easy chances earlier in season but scoring harder ones.

Certainly getting in the right positions, hopefully him Coutinho and Mane can stay fit for rest of season

This is based on CIES studies which is a joke and based on what they feel the player is valued at now, not what was actually paid for the player. According to them Milner was the EPL's best LB last season and Dejan Lovren was one of the top 10 CB's in all of the world.

Yes after reading this point, I retract it.

But really, teams spend, otherwise they end up like Liverpool the last X amount of years.

So basically you have nothing to add to the point that your team's manager is shite and for the amount of money spent they should have something better offensively than lumping it to Fellaini? Yeah....

Edit: As far as LFC over the last 30 years, it would take pages and pages to explain but their lack of League titles certainly wasn't just because of a lack of spending. At least until Abramovich showed up.

Believe me...I have strong feelings about Fellaini. I wish I knew why Mou thinks so highly of him, and every time I'm about ready to put my fist through the screen when he comes on, he somehow manages to bungle the ball over the line and it's like trying to be happy for your ex finding someone. It's not like people are happy when Mou goes conservative. Sometimes its hard to argue when it gets results, but I agree we have the talent to be far more aggressive.

Bought a new car last week (Toyota GT86) so it seemed like a good excuse to sort a ticket to Liverpool v Southampton!

I tried telling you guys Salah was Liverpools Talisman. Cutihno is going to be gone, he HAS to carry the mantle.

Did you see his first goal? The way he settled, picked his position at the corner of the box, OUTSIDE the area, and absolutely lashed a venomous strike the keeper literally had no chance to even touch. That angle was a very difficult one and he was as clam as you like. That was a strike Coutihno would have had trouble making.

Salah is truly special, and Chelsea squandered his talent.

Well I was behind the Saints goal in the first half but in the second to last row. Due to the overhang of the upper tier and the tendency of fans in front to stand when LFC get near the goal....I saw him hit it but didn't see it hit the net lol

As someone who sat through 180 minutes of Saints vs LFC last season without a single lfc goal then it was nice to see us score. They've definitely regressed this season
