Lovren must be the worst twenty five million ever spent in any arena.

Jesus fucking christ.
Why can't any of our midfielders position themselves as a holding midfielder? They offer no support to the back 4 at all.
Remember when Mane was amazing. I’d sub him off here.
This game is wild.
Arsenal's defenders are even worse than ours.
Who's co-commentating on Sky?
Carragher
I hope Liverpool fans are aware this is as good as it'll get with Klopp. If he could organise a defence he'd have done it by now.
Stupid game played by two god awful sides. Whoever is in Arsenal's midfield (Wilshere? Xhaka?) need an injection from the vet.
Was he this much of a chancer at Dortmund?
There's only two and a half decent teams in that league, he didn't have to be any good.
He had Hummels and Subotic over there who, at the time, were world class and certainly much better than the mongs he has assembled here.
Nothing wrong with the attack but it only gets you so far.
On another note, this was a good article earlier and makes an interesting observation about how Sean Dyche has got rid of all the black players and non-English speakers.

Brendan 'Brendan' Rodgers > Jurgen 'Jurgen Klopp' Klopp
What's the record for 3-3s in a season?
Who would it be 'better' under?
I know Waff waxes lyrical about him, but Robertson might be even worse than Moreno defensively. Those crosses and attacking runs though.
It's a shame Mané has gone to complete shite. I blame me having drafted him in the fantasy thing.
Mignolet is such a spastic.
Pulis or Jacques Santini.
Personally I like Klopp, but Fenway will tire of him in the end.
Maybe so, but they won't be any better off for having done so.
And, as was the case with Dortmund, personnel make a huge difference. Liverpool are never going to shut games down under Klopp (what a dreadful thought anyway) but that doesn't mean they have to have a band of inexperienced youngsters, relegation pick-ups, journeymen and seasoned fuckwits in defence. It just happens they do at the moment. That said, buying some idiot for Ł70m isn't going to be a magic bullet either.
People forget they have played the entire season without their only passable defender from recent seasons (Clyne) as well.
1 defeat in 19. We are utter shite.
Reading back two years ago, it was only me, John, and mokkers calling him a whopper. Not that we even needed insight (which is what it was) when this was happening.
I just went looking around the European tables to find out who the good managers are I haven't heard of/don't know their work well, but it's another year of utter dredgery isn't it. All the 'big five' titles are over before Christmas, except Italy.
Bayern have recovered from that shitty start to be 11 points clear of Schalke, who have a 32 year old in charge who looks like a genuine pervert. I suppose there's that bloke at Hoffenheim, but come off it, he must be the new AVB, empty bottles of schnapps and all.
Italy has Sarri at Napoli, but they made a spectacular arse of the Champions League and his previous record of spending 25 years scooting around the boot in a Fiat 500 doesn't suggest there is much in him. Inter have that bald twat who used to manage Roma, and Roma have someone who looks like Jarvis Cocker but might actually be a goer based on his record.
France isn't even a league, although Claudio Ranieri has taken Nantes to fifth in classic fashion which is lol. Simeone has been at Atletico for too long (they will go back to being shit once he leaves) and I think would really struggle outside a Latin culture, and that goon at Valencia has Juande Ramos written all over him. Probably the next Barcelona bin man anyway.
So there you are.
Marcelino
Sarri
Di Francesco
Hoffenheim child
Sean Dyche
Next Liverpool manager. One of them probably next Chelsea manager as well.
Smallpockets DOWN
David Moyes UP
Just watched it now- shocking on quite a few levels. Hopefully that’s the last time we see Mignolet with his gloves on, at least. Robertson and Lovren possibly aren’t even footballers. Without Salah, Coutinho & Firmino we’d be about as good as Everton - possibly worse.
Also googled Kelly Cates; can’t believe she’s 42.
I'm a twit
Went out for a cigarette at 2-0 after we'd been awful the whole time and came back to see us 3-2 up only for us to be awful the rest of the time. We are absolutely rotten to the core.
5 minutes?
Rooney out 'ill' / pissed.
Hudson-Odoi on the bench, shit just got real.
Big Sam's just said there's a 'shortage of talent worldwide'. Interesting take.
My new favourite game (taking over from counting how many starting players have numbers outside the proper 1-11 range) is seeing which teams have the most double barrelled names that could also be Wiltshire villages. For example, is Compton-Dando a charming village on the river Chew or is he lining up for Palace on Boxing Day?
Midday clasico has taken me by surprise, as has Barcelona playing four four fucking two.
The home end looks like a Klan rally.
This is pretty entertaining.
Ah good, we've triggered the Goodison Seethe on about the 20 minute mark by Victor diving over their bomb scare of a left back.
Good to see some proper management bringing the football back down to earth with a bump.
I'd somehow missed Youssuf Mulumbu signing for Kilmarnock. He's about three levels above this league.
I'm off to Tannadice in a minute for the massive 2nd v 4th fixture against Livingston.
Enjoy, Shagger.
Hazard is too good for the majority of his teammates.
This is dreadful fare. We have the best individual attacking dynamo in the league, but everyone around him is a twonk.
EDIT: High five, Woff.
Always nice to see Franco's boys take a beating.
Nice to see Carvajal channeling his inner Steven Taylor there.
Barca could end up getting a few more from here, Madrid are struggling.
Madrid getting molested here. Who do they bring in when they knee-jerk and fire Zidane?
