It would cost a lot, but I wonder if Leon Bailey or Moussa Diaby are good options to buy. Quick, direct, offer goal scoring threats

Not sure either would really give us the numbers we require in front of goal but who knows, the same would have been said a thousand times on Salah and Mane.

Is the defensive midfielder market any different than it was this time a year ago? Pickings seemed slim then and it may be no different now. If the new manager plays 4231 what do we even need to go along side Alexis, and does Szoboszlai play number 10?

As the year drags on, I can’t help but be awed by how much the man has sacrificed for us. It’s obvious to me that he needed a rest this season, but he refused to leave on the sour note of last year.

Said that since the announcement. I think he'd had enough last season (the owners trying to sell the club on top of the shambles on the pitch) but stuck it out for another season because he didn't want to leave us in the lurch. He's got us back in the CL (nearly) and won another trophy.

Even with the signings can we really say we are as good as Arsenal and City? Honestly? Plus what we are likely to do is finish third but not very far off the top. For me, we have performed to our level this season.

It's all about putting the pieces together. We put some of them together, gone forward, and finishing where we want to be for that. This summer we have to put more of them together, and season after probably even more. Hopefully with all that together we have a team winning the league

We need to aim better and higher now.

When I started this thread, I remarked that I hoped we could have some policy discussion once parties laid their cards on the table. I also said I was hoping for rail renationalisation. Now it seems Labour have committed to that, as most franchises are due to expire inside the next five years.

It will be interesting to see how the Tories counter this proposal. No doubt they will first try to say privatisation has brought enormous benefit to British people. Once that gets laughed out of court, they will likely switch track and claim Labour is just copying their own proposals, which are more a natural evolution of privatisation based on the lessons learned, rather than actual nationalisation.

Should make for an intriguing back and forth.

Either that or we'll see all the train carriers be rewarded with extended contracts that take them into the 2030s

Interesting to feel other people's pulse on this one. Cheers for the reply.

I wasn't in the ground last night. I had a family meal booked in town. We saw the second half in the pub. Grim stuff.

It does feel like the end of an era. But a new dawn always follows. You know that as much as anyone. We'll all be back. Maybe we just all need a rest and a reset.

Indeed. Don't feel like going at all again this season, but I will be and still be backing the Reds.

I clapped the lads off yesterday and had a few agressive Everton stewards trying to push me out, but I fucked them off and clapped the team off the pitch.

The weird thing was that the Everton fans near me (I was near the divide) were having a go at the fans going out, but none of them had a go at me and a head steward fucked off the dickheads trying to get me to leave.

Always, always clap the team off. Win. Lose or Draw.

What people may think is irrelevant. Yes, if you had offered us that after last season's nightmare most of us would have taken it. But it's obvious that the squad was far better than what we saw last season and we severely underperformed. With a few new additions we became a title-challenging side so to just go back to the beginning of the season or even the end of last and say well we'd all have taken a trophy and 4th is a bit of a cop out I think.

Even with the signings can we really say we are as good as Arsenal and City? Honestly? Plus what we are likely to do is finish third but not very far off the top. For me, we have performed to our level this season.

If it takes them another 14 years to beat us at home, I'll be a happy bunny.

Its bound to happen once in a blue moon isn't it? Losing there every 14 years I can handle! If they ever last that long as a going entity.

He weirdly mentions the United game in his post match interview with the official site. I assume it’s the League game but we never really recovered from that.

His announcement seemed to galvanise everyone then it fell apart. Maybe the uncertainty of new Manager coming hasn’t helped.

We were 1-0 up and coasting in that game but kept missing chances before half time. I think it was Mo that missed a sitter to put us 2-0 up and Klopp was going mad on the touchline at the miss. I thought at the time that was unusual for him as normally his body language is positive and he'd be clapping the approach play at least. Noticed it in the games since, when we miss a chance he's getting more agitated.

If we'd come out of that game with the win we should have had it'd have given us the confidence for the rest of the games.

We are brittle though. Ultimately we scored 5 goals over the two United away games - that should be enough to win at least one.
