Why the hell do we have so many midweek premier league fixtures this time around?

I'm guessing its because its a world cup year coming up...

Klopp gets a free pass because the press is full of ex-Liverpool players.  Mourinho was right about that.  

If you go to the Guardian site, what would be a small story having to do with Liverpool down at the bottom of the page, is front and centre on the Sky site.

I actually like Klopp and his personality, but it feels like they would need to be in a relegation battle before the knives came out in the media.

But they don't do it like this during for the Euro's or the Copa America? I know they are not as prestigious as the World Cup but still....

I don't understand why he insist on Cahill?

And Fabregas with Baka in a two man midfield is a disaster. Has been for a while, why can't he see this?

WE NEED CHRISTIENSEN IN EVERY GAME THANKS

Look, I love what Conte did last season but I absolutely hate what he is doing this season. Things are obviously not working but there are 0 changes and attempts to improve it. The players can't be less motivated by the look of it.

[Vybzkartel 284]

He has to go 

[Fernando 6,375]

Too soon to sack.

Give him time. 

Just stop with Cahill and the two man midfield of Fabregas. 

Always get overrun.

Yep, #CONTEOUT

The board didn't back him in the summer, just look at the mess we have now, it's not hard to see is it?

[Laylabelle 9,292]

Knew this would happen though! Spend so little in the transfer window.. More games...it ain't gana work! However he does need to make changes when they need doing. Something ain't working change it. Stop playing same crap 

And if players can't be motivated or look motivated drop them! Don't see why they should get away all that time with that attitude

We should have brought in Monchi.This is why Italian clubs do better in Europe despite having less money than English clubs. They have proper directors of football in charge, not accountants.

False.

According to Transfrmarket.co.uk -

Arrivals -  £179.1 million 

Departures -  £176 million 

We aren't really improving the squad.  We're just replacing like for like. Our net spend is Arsenal like. It's what we've been for a long time now. In reality we've been standing still for several years :

Premier League net spend since 2014:

Man City £448.7m

Man Utd £424.7m

Arsenal £193.8m

Chelsea £126.9m

Tottenham £20.5m

What Abramovich and the board put into the club is what we get.  Roman is not all that interested in going crazy in the market anymore. He can't compete with Abu Dhabi and the coffers at Old Trafford. It's high time we accept that reality as supporters of the club.

All the fruits of a shit summer on show right now, and it will all end in Conte sacked.

What a true shame

Thats it. We spent money in summer but no one has really had a amazing impact..odd postive moment but that's it. Morata showed promise and that gone out the window for now 

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

We still haven't signed:

(1) A complete central midfielder that is comfortable physically and technically and can function as a playmaker.

(2) Signed a world class attacking midfielder to supplement Hazard

(3) Upgrade our Left wingback spot. Alonso not good enough

(4) Upgrade our Right wingback spot. Moses/Zappacosta(don't need to see anymore of him to know) not good enough.

Like Conte said, he's not a wizard. We're clearly were we are in the league, looking up at both Manchester clubs and we're nothing more than pretenders in the Champions league.

Conte overperformed last season with this team. This season he's performing according to expectations our board set for him.
