Defo think Coutinho should have been sold and think he will be in Jan. Do we need a replacement tho? With Keita coming in, the form of Salah, Lallana to return I think we have great options. Would like to see a striker and a defensive midfielder to replace Can but all of the Coutinho money should go on a new keeper and 2 defenders.

Coutinho takes too many touches and other players pass him the ball too much, it stifles the quick play which has given us success in certain games. He shoots from everywhere even we there is a player right in front of him certain to block. As good as he is I believe it's for the best if he leaves.

Not going to get carried away after 3 wins in a week as we have played 3 poor teams. It's after the international break when we need to push on and win a run of PL games. Hopefully by Christmas we will be in a good position. YNWA.

I don't see the logic in not giving Karius or ward a run. We have known for a long time, since before Klopp arrived that Migs is suspect at best. At least it will give us an answer on how good the other two are, I honestly can't see either of them being worse. Your thoughts ed's.

agree re:coutinho. love him and his skills, but to be honest I really think that the other players take more ownership and responsibility in the attacking third when he isn't there. lots of standing around watching him trying to get a shot off his right foot.

such a hard one tho cos he has all the potential to have an impact on us the way that de bruyne and city do for city and hazard for chelsea etc. but the value is so high and there are other areas that need desperate addressing that it just seems to make sense to take opportunity now.
