Liverpool will make Lemar better than Coutinho probably. He fits them like a glove.

Thats why I hope we get Lemar in summer. 

I would like Mahrez aswell, but if we are picking just one of the lot, Lemar by mile. He is younger and very good footballer.

I don't know how lemar will help this team when they have a settle front 3 with Mane,Firmino and Salah.

What this Pool need is a lb, a gk and a good dm.

We were right. ArsefanTV went into meltdown mode. Loads on YT like this one bless his heart

They can play 4:3:3, with Mane and Salah on wings, Firmino uptop and Lemar as LCM. They will also get Keita in summer who will probably play RCM. They indeed need DM and GK, then they would have fantastic squad. 

Lemar doesnt need to be winger tbh. He is excelent in connecting the midfield with attack, keeping the fluidity of play. And his work rate is impressive too. 

Would be great replacement for Coutinho IMO, thats why I hope they dont get him.

I am really curious to see it in action.

our next cup fixtures: Arsenal, Barcelona, Norwich+Newcastle

Citys: Bristol, Basel, Cardiff City/Mansfield Town.

I wonder how will they cope with such demanding games, plus the league.

We had a relatively easy Christmas period. Shouldn't complain about playing better opposition

Robertson & Keita fill two of those roles

I have never watched keita play except from his YouTube video, but he looks more of a cm rather than a dm. I am not sure they have any dm except Henderson and maybe Can but both are not really dm. 

I can't remember whether I have watched Roberson play to judge him

I thought lemar is more of a winger (I only watch him from YouTube). But still I personally don't think Liverpool is looking at lemar since they have keita, can, lallana, wijnaldum for that two cm positions. Those are very good options. 

Arsene really want him though, since it looks like both Ozil and Sanchez are going to leave.

Heard Can is joining Juventus this summer, he's out of contract.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5238453/Emre-seals-agreement-principle-Juventus.html

So that leaves only Keita, Lallana and Wijnaldum. Not good enough. However, there are rumours of them going for Strootman as replacement.

If can leave, i will sign a dm instead of another cm if i were klopp. Henderson can play as cm but not sure any of those player above can play as dm

Fuck me Man City just did it. Another injury time goal

Kudos to Bristol City and their 7680 fans completely outsung the Etihad lot. They could do it at Ashton Gate.

 JUST IN: Liverpool are planning to spend 70% of the money they received from Barcelona for Philippe Coutinho panic-buying Andy Carroll again.

I know its the Metro but.....

Carlo Ancelotti reportedly agrees deal with Arsenal to replace Arsene Wenger

Well it looks like this is going to carry on. Rix if nobody knows him is the geezer that went to jail for sleeping with a 15 year old girl with a dodgy ID card saying she was 21! Now I wont go near the - girls lie - argument but thers a vast chasm between forced and stupid (on both sides)

And  Gwyn Williams got sacked for sending emails to work 'colleagues' of naked women in showers! Whatever floats yer boat! 

Chelsea taking allegations of racism and bullying made against former coaches Graham Rix and Gwyn Williams 'extremely seriously'

Watching the Tottenham v Everton game makes me hate Allardyce even more. He shuts it completely against us at home, then he plays an open football away to other strong teams.
