      I think only if getting Hazard? Hazard has the better fixtures now and Klopp has hinted at rotation after the break when they start playing twice a week.

          I agree. But you know how the sheep are. Jonty says somebody is “essential” and they jump. Haz a famous troll and inconsistent too. But Mane blanked last week too so now he’s the worst player in history for those who only jumped on last week when Mane was “essential” after two games.

      havent a clue ! people seem to be saying fixtures,rotation etc if thats the case we will be shifting everyone every time they have a bad fixture, or fear of rotation , pool still capable of scoring in these fixtures
      will be keeping, not gettin rid because of a blank last week
      will at least asses next few games
      3 goals, bonus and cs pts so far, wouldnt feel right getting rid yet.
      this is only my opinion though
