Interesting piece, including quotes from Rio Ferdinand, about how defenders are now prized not just for defending but for being comfortable on the ball and in space (and at the same time attackers like Roberto Firmino are prized for their ability to defend): Premier League defending isn't...

I hope so! Klopp was very noncommittal earlier in the week. But he did say he is going to play a strong squad. I'd definitely like to see VVD start to bed in and get comfortable with the team. Other players I'd like to see start: -- Lallana. I hope he can play 90 minutes as he regains...

Lol. Seriously, what a couple of strikes though. I love that kind of goal.

True, I and a number of others on Twitter may have jumped the gun on Goretzka. I really hope LFC can still bring him in. I agree on all counts. I really don't see the rush though, from anyone's perspective, unless it's just that Coutinho's wife is sick of the weather in NW England. Coutinho...

https://twitter.com/cfbayern/status/947491309400592385 Damn, Goretzka to Bayern. https://twitter.com/honigstein/status/947493719204401152 ^fwiw, Rafa Honigstein thinks Keita and Goretzka would have been “box-to-box overkill” at LFC, and instead LFC should go for a “proper” DM. My take on...

Huge, especially since it appears that Emre Can wants to move on. (Still not totally sure why, since he is an important player for LFC. I heard at one point that he wants to be a first-choice DM, rather than a box-to-box mid, and he knows Henderson is Klopp's 1A DM for now? Doesn't make much...

Same, big time. Akanji is another CB who perfectly fits the Klopp profile. It makes so much sense. Definitely seems like we will have to unload a CB or two to make room, though. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">As you were🇩🇪 <a...

Yeah, I quite like what Robertson has done while Moreno has been out. The thing I like most is how hard he works. The first goal against Swansea started with him pressing in the opposition half (which led to a bad pass, which led to Firmino taking the ball off Ayew, which led to the goal). He...

Klopp desperately needs another athletic defender who can effectively defend large spaces while other players are pushing forward. That's VVD to a T. Lovren also fits that profile; if only Klopp can stop him doing dumb stuff. He played what was genuinely the best game I have ever seen him...

What a finish. PSG scoring goals for fun in Ligue 1. Really can't wait for the Champs League tie with Real Madrid. Maybe they are hoping they won't win the first leg 4-nil, because that didn't work out great for them last year ...

It's incredible what they are doing. I really can't imagine what the solution is. Maybe there isn't one. Teams have tried locking the game down by parking the bus. But De Bruyne and Silva are just too good at picking the lock. DeBruyne in particular plays some of the most jaw-dropping...

Premier League revenues soar but clubs still make a loss - BBC News

That's a good question. There is TONS of fan pressure on English owners to spend every dime they make on transferring in players who can make the club better. On the BBC 5 Live podcast, I often hear fans complaining that owners like Mike Ashley (for example) refuse to "invest in their clubs"...

Last week, there was some talk on the Totally Football Podcast about MLS, and it was interesting to hear the thoughts of soccer journalists based in Europe on MLS. The general opinion was that it's become a good league that's worth watching. But one of the podders pointed out that too many...

I totally agree on all counts. I've heard that, early on in his Man City tenure, Sterling was frustrated that he wasn't getting much coaching and it was more of a sink-or-swim situation, which was a huge change from Liverpool, where Brendan Rodgers worked really hard to coach him up and even...

Agreed. Also, I think Man City was willing to pay a premium for another "locally trained" player for Champs League purposes, so that was also a factor.

co-signed. RaS is playing the best football of his career. The knock on him was always that he was capable of great things thanks to his speed and strength on the ball but the end product just wasn't there. Well, now we are seeing some end product.
