I genuinely don't get how they are doing that. The spending is jaw-dropping.

Utter madness. City are such a juggernaut. Both signings are/would be great pickups at positions of need. They've needed another top, Pep-style CB all season, and they could use another winger in the team, with Sane hurt. Liverpool's loss to West Brom was really worrying, much more worrying...

UGH, it's maddening. Although honestly, I didn't think Liverpool played all that badly, despite what a lot of people in the media and a lot of fans are saying. Liverpool created three A or at least B-plus-level chances, including the one at the death (which was absolutely an A-plus chance)...

Yeah, I think this is right. I have heard others say, and I agree, that Mourinho just really isn't that into coaching attacking, in the same way that Pep isn't really into coaching defending. His philosophy of management is: organize the defense and midfield, and let playmaking attackers...

Listened to this week's BBC Euro Leagues podcast last night ... sounds like getting rid of Sanchez and picking up Auba might be exchanging a locker-room cancer for another one. Auba's behavior has been downright bizarre lately at Dortmund. OTOH, the assumption seems to be that he is behaving...

Yeah it has to be frustrating. Holding and Calum Chambers just aren't good enough at the back. But Wilshere looks really good lately, and Maitland-Niles is an exciting prospect, although he's not really a fullback or wingback. Arsenal really just need to get healthy at the back. Kos...

Plus the rumor is that, if Sanchez goes to Man U, Mkhitaryan comes back the other way to Arsenal. Mkhitaryan + Aubameyang = instant offense. Could be the spark they need to get back on track. I mean, they need a few other pieces as well, but it would be a hell of a start.

Man, what a shot in the arm that would be for a club that really needs it right now ... Arsenal looked very average this weekend without Sanchez or Ozil.

Right. After that game, LFC will go into the knockout stage of the UCL full of confidence. No reason they should be scared of anyone, at least not at Anfield.

Agree on all points, Rogue. Except that LFC likely will NOT finish second ... on that one I think it is too early to say even whether it is likely. I could see LFC finishing anywhere between second and fifth. My heart was absolutely in my throat on that last free kick where Aguero was...

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="fr" dir="ltr">De plus en plus de sources allemandes (serieuses) annoncent que Naby Keita arrivera a Liverpool avant la fin du mois, moyennant paiement supplementaire. Un avis, <a...

Totally agree. I meant that, with Keita filling a midfield spot, someone like Ox is less likely to be needed in midfield, so he is more likely to be available to provide cover for Mane or Salah on the wing. (This is also true to some extent of Lallana and Wijnaldum.) Liverpool should still be...

Yeah, I gotta assume it's either/or for Liverpool. It sounds like there is actually a serious chance of Keita coming in early. That would be beautiful. Not that he can replace Coutinho as a playmaker, but having another MF would allow Lallana and Ox to provide cover for Mane and Salah...

Come on Christian, you know you want to finish what you started with Klopp! He would be a great signing for Liverpool. Natural fit on the left wing as cover/competition for Mane.

The Coutinho money's burning a hole in our pocket. I love it.

Right, this. Plus, I'm sure Alexis likes the idea of being reunited with Pep at a club that's a contender to win any competition it's in. I think it's normal, once players who have established themselves as stars get older and start to see the end of their career on the horizon, for them to...

14 uncapped players called into annual USMNT January camp – ProSoccerTalk Hopefully there are some winners in here. Many names I don't recognize.

Yeah I've never been convinced that Coutinho is really a player Klopp would have chosen, as he isn't a dynamic, energetic athlete who's particularly good in the pressing game. So there's a sense in which he isn't totally central to what Klopp is trying to do. But there's no doubt that he is...
