        Yeh Minamino will probably need to bulk up for this league, he currently has the slim build you see of an F1 driver. Thought heā€™s looked ok though. Think Curtis Jones looks a good player.

          Absolutely Hightown, but I think we have to mention City. They raised the bar to a phenomenal level and weā€™ve had to reach perfection to overtake them. And perfection, weā€™ve pretty much reached. Whilst it was good again tonight (and I think the BT commentator said we broke our record for number of completed passes tonight in a game!), the Leicester away game is still the standout game for me. It was like watching a computer on ā€œexpert modeā€ beating a lowly novice. Passing perfect, effective, devastating, quick and outstanding in all areas of the pitch. But Iā€™m still looking forward to Minamino playing!

            Itā€™s also called common sense, but the authorities thought the technology would save them from any work and that it would take care of everything. Will any heads roll after the debacle of this season or will it be the usual line trotted out that ā€œlessons have been learnedā€?

              Whatā€™s frustrating is that a lot of us flagged up this potential problem up before the season started – why didnā€™t the so called authorities?

                I donā€™t think the everyday fan cares one hoot on how much agents are paid, so long as the player they want gets signed up, theyā€™re happy. Any other walk of life, theyā€™d be uproar. But fear of losing ground to their competitors and tribalism quells such outrage stone dead. All that will probably happen here is a bit of window dressing to make it appear that agents donā€™t make as much as they currently do, but then the agents will simply increase the fees to their players. As Pagan rightly says, clubs use agents as a back door to get to a player. That culture ainā€™t going to change because tribalism rules everything.

                Itā€™s the same reason very little gets made of managers who get paid off huge amounts when sacked after failure. All the attention is on the immediate future of ā€œyes, but who can we get in now to move up the table again?!ā€ It is in many ways irrational but it is akin to a pleasure seeking activity focussed solely on the next ā€˜hitā€™ rather than dwelling on past failures and costs.

                  Big win. Wolves a good side. Werenā€™t at our best, perhaps tiredness coming in after recent events. We all know the close offside VAR rule is farcical and needs changing.

                    Another close offside cancels a goal. Awful when itā€™s against you, but very sheepish when it goes your way.

                      Pagan, itā€™s all about being somewhat ruthless and preparing for tomorrow. I think DirtyHarry mentioned on TT the other day about us needing to be prepared to potentially lose one of either Salah or ManĆ© in the summer, who may simply want a new challenge somewhere. But either way, if you keep buying new up and coming players who will start to push out the established players, that is the best way to maintain success and is more of a natural replacement of the squad as opposed to waiting until everyone gets older and having to replace the whole lot. It may be you have to move on players who are still around their peak to ensure you give tomorrowā€™s man a chance. But the problem with football as we all know is that it, like many things in life, is governed by fear. Fear of losing ground to other teams. So many teams donā€™t see the wisdom of doing such things, they get transfixed by the short term.

                        Well itā€™s ours to lose now. Just need to be wary of complacency now, the only potential problem with such a big lead. Perhaps be wise to start blooding the squad like Shaqiri a bit more to maintain the competition and keep players on their feet and also allow others to rest. Minamino to look forward to, too.

                          Henderson is a player that always puts a shift in and does what the manager asks him to do. Which is the basic reason why Klopp relies on him so. I think heā€™s a very good passer of the ball, has the energy to press and when the team is on top, and thereā€™s more space, he can look a very good player. Itā€™s when the team isnā€™t playing so well or weā€™re up against a defensive side, that he then seems to go under the radar and then the criticism comes regarding his ā€œplaying safeā€ style at times. But then I suspect thatā€™s not really why heā€™s in the team – heā€™s in the team because as I said at the start, he follows to a ā€˜Tā€™ what the manager wants. And anything else he can do on top of that is a bonus. Thatā€™s the way to view Henderson for me.

                            I think Klopp has actually conceded that itā€™s because of City raising the bar over recent seasons that itā€™s forced Liverpool to raise it too. Even drawing games now isnā€™t good enough. Had City not done so, I doubt Liverpool would now have such a big lead. Competition drives competition.

                              Special mention to Gomez. Looks back to his best. And suddenly the clean sheets are coming back.

                                Thought we were fabulous tonight, couldnā€™t ask for much more considering weā€™ve just come back from Qatar. Most impressive thing was the maturity and control. Third goal by Firmino just epitomised it – Firmino could have chosen to play the easy ball but spun round and ran back towards goal. Great great goal. Just hope Hendersonā€™s ok.

                                  They certainly need to stop incentivising agents making big money out of transfers. Theyā€™re like Lady Macbeth type characters manipulating their clients to move to make even more dough.

                                    Thought that summed it up when it was revealed that Man Utd are still paying more in wages on Sanchez than Sheffield Utd were paying to their entire squad. But itā€™s the fans that are ultimately making all this sustainable.

                                            Didnā€™t see the City game, but I think KDB is currently the best player in the league.
