      Hmmm remember him getting the winner v city. Scored 2 in the 4-0 humiliation of barca etc etc etc... his overall performances since he joined have been brilliant. Plenty of vital contributions and good consistency.

      Superb player for the club since he joined.

      This.

      Gini provides so much to the team besides goals and assists. He has a brilliant engine and does all the dirty clean up work in midfield. He's not a flashy player but a pivitol player in Klopp's system.

      PLAYERS BACK FROM LOAN:

      Sheyi Ojo (Rangers)
      Marko Grujic (Hertha Berlin)
      Kamil Grabara (Huddersfield Town)
      Ben Woodburn (Oxford United)
      Taiwo Awoniyi (Mainz)
      Harry Wilson (Bournemouth)
      Nathaniel Phillips (Stuttgart)
      Ovie Ejaria (Reading)

      I guess we are are looking to sell all of the above apart from maybe Grabara right?

      Nat philips maybe stays unless we get that CB to replace Lovren. And this guy Kamil Grabara, probs goes on load again.

      The rest I think will be cashed out. ;D

      Grujic seemed to have what was needed to play. A friend who lives in Germany saw him play and said he was really the best player on the pitch.

      It's not a very popular opinion, but for me Wijnaldum, although he's a very good player, does not bring enough to the team. Wijnaldum: 7 goals and 0 assists in 2 league seasons!

      You're right in that it's not a very popular opinion at all.

      Reports they want 20m for him (Lewis).

      Pass at that price.

      why?

      I think we can improve in Wijnaldum, that's not to say he's not good but he very often goes missing and I'd like to see a little bit more positivity from him going forwards.

      Yup he's only 22 and Norwich don't need to sell so can't see us getting him for £10 million. Hopefully we can meet half way on the valuations.

      I'd say all will be sold, apart from maybe Garbara as you say.

      To be honest I'd thought Ojo, Ejaria and Woodburn already had left permanently last summer. Surprised to see them on the list!!

      Acting like a fanny and keep getting injured then NO! Sort that out, then definitely YES! He would be amazing in this team IMO

      Wasn't being totally serious Baz. Just a light-hearted question. ;D

      As BigBob said if in an ideal world he was injury free and actually seemed focused on football what a player he'd be in our system.

      Can't deny that or course as he's a world class player when fit and motivated.

      But his best days are past him now. Although he seems to be in form of late so hopefully he bangs in a couple against City tomorrow. ;D

      (Again! )

      Our midfielders are not used in what some what call the traditional way.

      They are primarily defenders, also used to high press when we are in the attacking third, win the ball back, recycle it, and bring the fullbacks into play.
      You can see them drop in behind, and slightly inside the fullbacks when they push up, supporting them, and winning the ball back, then bringing in the FB again, or a forward who has gone wide to support.

      You can easily see this in the stats - our fullbacks have 25 assists in the league between them.

      Our mids chip in with a few, and have around as many (or a few more) than you would expect from full backs in other teams.

      They'll sometimes get into the box, when we have one extra outside the box (when teams are defending deep), but in general, they sit outside the box, picking up the scraps, hunting down the opposition, and covering the CB's.

      Our midfield is our first barrier of defense as you explained well.

      If Klopp is thinking to use Jones, I personally think that Grujic is better midfielder.

      I agree, but I would add that against "weaker" teams, when one of the 3 mids attacks more (AOC and Keita have been used this season) Jones is probably the better attacking option, although in fairness I haven't seen as much of Grujic, so I could be wrong.

      Edit: He's been left out of the squad for tomorrow night and looks to have played his last game for Real.

      Me, srslfc and you know its not going to happen mate but can always think about an injury free Bale in our team at the top of his game. Oh well, dream over  ;)

      Shame he's not playing against Citys defense also

      Don't get me wrong he's an unreal player but not a fit for us for various reasons.

      Yea it's a shame he fell out with Zidane as he always produces the goods in big games.

      Hard to see City losing tomorrow night.

      Why is it hard to see city losing, I can imagine that easily, I can also imagine City winning easily, its one of those games that's quite hard to call as it depends on who starts better, if Real can nick an early goal then it could be very interesting.

      Klopp has worked with Lewandowski before, I wonder if he can tempt him here? Its a dream but what a striker he is. Hard to find a better number 9 in the last few years.

      Liked the look of Brooks before he got injured young and looks versatile probably out of our desired price range at the moment though
