Special Juan

Needs a good coach and Zaha will be immense.

I just love how busy and dynamic Hazard, Pedro and Willian are together. Whilst it was only Huddersfield in mid-week, the movement was pure joyful to watch. Willian has raised his game of late, he's scoring and really contributing, and he's the so called poor one of the 3 supposedly. Pedro is a work horse and brings a lot to the side, not only that but they are all comfortable dropping wide or even being central and receiving it. I'm not sure Morata deserves to walk back into the side in all honesty, has a lot to prove in these busy weeks over Xmas, and if this front 3 that started against Huddersfield continue this form he may have a problem getting in.

Hope he does, that front three will murder Southampton, Van Dijk or no Van Dijk.

We will beat United to second place, I am 100% confident of that.

Possibly one of the best attacking players outside the PL's elite sides. I hope we are looking at him closely, he has everything about him to play at a club like ours. In absolute blistering form right now too.

Klopp's the most protected species in English football, gets hardly any grief for the shit Liverpool serve up defensively.

Nah we will beat this lot, Austin will score but we will win this 3-1

You ain't wrong but I think we all know this now. I think Moses is the better of the two, but I simply cannot see what Alonso brings barring being good at free-kicks. They would be the two areas we need to address with a matter of urgency for me.

Interview was absolute gold with Willian.

Christensen with another big box ticked performance, this lad is really top quality.

Job done, happy with that.

What a player

Price tags need to be just completely discarded now, football is just off the scale nuts. What can he bring? Is he needed? And does he fit our team going forward to the future? These are all the questions that are more prominent than what he will cost.

We couldn't secure a door.

Needs to be sold, he will never ever be the main striker here. I have also heard he is quite close to agreeing terms for a loan to Newcastle, all dependant on us securing target in January.

Bakayoko walks back into the side...pardon the pun. I'm not happy about this line up and if we don't win questions will be asked. One blessing, no Cahill.

Take the game to them, we cannot allow them like WHU on Saturday to start on the front foot.

We wont get two wing backs in January, we will be lucky to get two players let alone two much needed upgrades.

He won’t be playing tonight because he’s tired and has a small back problem [emoji849] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The fact of football is you will lose at some point, the main point is player quality and identification was miles off again and the real targets we couldn't get. Drinkwater and Zappacosta were bought, I'm sorry but there is no chance in hell they were main primary targets, these came on the back of knock back from other targets. Of course we should be beating those teams but there is also another issue here, the intensity of the current campaign is taking it's toll, players like Alonso have zero competition, we bought an injured Drinkwater so that's two players to add to an already thin squad. Players are getting tired, you then need very good quality infills, just look at City, fully prepared for every campaign. Fact of the matter and this football climate, penny pinching will find you out, because when the heat of the CL really starts kicking in and the PL title race hots up, these so called 'stop gaps' get exposed.

Real v PSG

There was a LB playing for Southampton that looked sharp yesterday....better than Alonso anyway, his name escapes me though.

Praying he gets back soon, the less Bakayoko the better. Never ever thought I would say that.

Deadly serious, we should be talking about how well both have done, yet both have been middle of the road and nothing more. Alvaro needs to work on his shooting, yes, not only that, but his ability to stay on his feet may go a long way to contributing to that.

Should not be playing then, because we saw what happened at Anfield, even the basics he struggles with and his mistakes are leading to conceding a goal like we saw. I get what you are saying, but IMO passing a ball 5-10 yards he's struggling with, he is not reading the game correctly and with this he's a liability.
