    how stupid to do have to be to bring in Salah at 14m, never mind (C). You couldnt justify him if he was a 7m asset.

        brother Salah has shown nothing all season. He was a rotation risk going into this game and in awful form. Its not hindsight. its called using your eyes.

          It is hindsight cause you’re saying it once the match is over and not before

          It was also clearly the wrong decision from Slot to bench him and Ekitike because you dropped points

            you're using the fact they where benched as reason why you got unlucky, rather than realising you brought in a 14m rotation risk in bad form. thats just the facts here.

    Football is dead, as soon as money touched it, it's gotten corrupted and died. You don't see much skills and passion in top flight football.

      Alive and thriving in non-league. Been to 24 games this season and loving it.
      The PL is just a tourist league now compared to when I was a regular match goer in the '90s.

            Yeah good shout, I wasn’t even considering him as my 11th man for 31 but it does sound decent.

            Haaland > Ekitike/Raul/Bowen/Sesko not particularly exciting anyway.

        Yeah they seemed to thrive off that energy Klopp injected into the club. They went from Rock n Roll to Soft Jazz.

    I had planned to sell Rice (for Gordon?) with my two transfers, because I wanted to keep Gabi, O'Reilly and possibly Muñoz. Careless calculating, I can't field starting XI with 2 at the back only. So now is perhaps the time not to care about prics 😉
