    Sup fellas.. What's up with the fighting!? Haha.
    As of now, barca and bayern are light years away of the competition but long ways to go. We'll see how we stack up in April/may time frame. Barca, gets Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal in January.

    Awfully quiet in here. LFC won, not their best game, but happy with the 3 points. 6th spot. I think 4th spot is definitely reachable if we make the right buys come January.

    Now if we can only dump Sturridge and Mignolet for better options.

    The Klopp effect is real. Thought we'd finish mid-table, but we could realistically get in the top 4 by the January transfer period.

    January is too optimistic. Klopp is still experimenting with lineups, trying to incorporate seldom used players IMO. I say by end of February. I'm looking at a few draws and maybe 3 losses at the most.

    I'm still waiting for Coutinho and Firmino to ascend together to the Brazilian heavens.
    Lallana can be Coutinho's +1. :)

    In all seriousness, I'm extremely glad Couts and Firmino are linking up very well and Klopp's bias towards midfielders is really favoring a quicker pace on the pitch.

    3 Points and I was happy nothing really exciting in that game,but you can tell Klopp only cares for results. Im really just impressed on how he rotates his squad/team selection. Coutinho and Lucas definitely needed a break. With the the cup game tomorrow tho I really would love to see some Youth players get a run.

    I think Studge will get a chance to impress,but in that first game back he doesnt look he is a fit with Klopps philosophy or tactics. He look really lazy and didnt press at all. If he is not 100% fit he should not be playing.

    With Hendo on his way to 100%, I wonder whose minutes he will take since he is the captain. I don't want him messing up what chemistry we have.

    Sturridge should be erased and forgotten that he ever existed. He's mentally weak in addition to being made of glass. Here's a picture of him in 30 years:

    Btw how long till Cou and Firminho are recruited by the Spanish giants?

    I feel bad about myself that my team is 1 point behind a team named Crystal Palace.

    Nah the Brazilian heaven (national team) actually needs another or two Neymar Junior caliber players to get back on track (too much on one man's shoulder)

    I am not sure Firmino and Coutinho can do that for the national team.

    It is pretty tough to play well for both sides (Henry could only score goals for his club but rarely scored important ones for the national side)

    Not going to deny Sturridge's skill, but I still hold the view that we should replace him with someone reliable. Any time now, he's going to get a boo boo and sit out for 10 matches.

    Origi is a nice surprise, though that first goal of his should have been Moreno's.

    Heard Real Madrid might be suspended from the Copa del Rey over fielding an illegal player. Supposedly was warned too by the officials....

    Guess they haven't fixed that fax machine yet.

    Wow, Chelsea is an absolute dumpster fire.

    So... they're just 3 points away from the relegation zone.

    Disappointing result, could've won this easily. Benatia has no future in Munich, I guess he will go to Juventus as part of the Coman deal.

    At least Ribery is back. Looked quite good already.
