      Diaz out until December is a huge blow – he was one of the few positives this season. Not sure how many times Klopp can keep “jump starting” this team to try and go again with all these mistakes they’re making defensively. It’s going to be a long season.

      I struggle to see the top 4 teams changing now with City, Arsenal, Spurs & Chelsea all looking fairly secure.

      Gerrard almost seems to be at the stage where Ole was at Utd where he’s limping on, but the end can’t be far away now.

        Spot on Sean. I saw some of this coming this season, but I didn’t think the decline would start this quickly. There are still glimpses and signs here and there of the way we used to play as Nine said. But in all areas of the pitch, bar the goalkeeper maybe, we have issues that have coalesced that are just too much for Klopp’s magic to overcome, though I think the midfield is at the root of them and that’s where my pre-season concerns always were. As I said on TT, I just don’t get why, after we were clearly willing to spend a bit on Tchouameni in the summer, we didn’t seem to pursue another midfielder…until we panicked at the last minute. And brought in Melo…who’s now injured for up to 3 months apparently. We’ve got to be better than that for a club of our stature.

          Lucky, wouldn’t surprise me to see Lampard last the season now. The Everton fans have really bonded to him.

            Several things Banjo. The attack has had to adjust to Nunez but isn’t actually performing that badly though Salah won’t get the same goals he did before. The midfield is aging and is in decline, and our emergency signing is now out apparently for 3 months. And the defence is performing poorly to boot. We look like a mid table side, albeit an exciting one.

              Well, that should extinguish any notion that Liverpool still have a chance of finishing 2nd.

                Our attack can’t bail out our defending. That’s the problem this season.

                  So bad at the back this season. Though midfield not helping either.

                    It now just feels like a hangover season where we’re only running on 2 cylinders where half of our game is running OK, and the other half isn’t.

                      Nine, a huge problem now is the power of the players. We know it’s a players game now. Clubs can’t sack players in the way they can sack managers because of the financial hits they will take. So players have generally become untouchable and know the manager will always be the fall guy. Don’t know how you can reverse that culture other than big performance bonuses, but in a competitive market, you’ll struggle to appeal to players to sign up to that.

                        Always thought running penalties would come around sooner or later, initially for entertainment purposes like in the US. But as the video flags up, it may be less of a gimmick and more of a correction and so the idea could potentially gain more traction.

                          Just look at the gap between Haaland and the next player in this list, Michael Owen. Haaland really is not just one level above the previous best in the premier league – he’s multiple levels above.

                            I wonder what Haaland’s value now is?

                              Haaland is an absolute sensation. He will shoot City to the title easily, and most probably the CL too.

                                Panic over. There’s his goal!

                                  Haaland hasn’t scored yet. That’s got to be concerning for City 😁

                                    Football should be a place where people take a break from all things political and feel united. I’d just ban everything as Ed said. I think social media has exacerbated things.

                                        The last constant. Always duty bound, always dignified. So very sad. May she rest in peace.

                                          I fear its more than that Brian. Players are starting to look and sound a bit fed up to me.

                                            Rumoured to be a 5 year deal. No manager has lasted more than 5 years at Chelsea since…checks notes…Dave Sexton was appointed in 1967.
