      In 7 seasons at Bayern he only played 235 games. Thats not a lot when you factor how much football they played, winning damn near every cup in Germany and all and playing in the UCL. Not saying that tackle wasn't horrible, but we knew getting him the price was on the low side because he was injury prone. He hasn't done anything to dispell that thought as of yet.

      235 games in 7 seasons is 34 games a season. That's a perfectly healthy number, and I would take 34 games a season from him without any hesitation. This narrative from some of our fans that he's injury prone is getting weird.

      Random as F**k but did people notice how he's about 5ft and won every single header he went up for? :D

      Yeah was thinking that he just oozes quality . I have said if we don't sign  a CB we won't win league but I also think if we can keep him fit just as important in getting over the line

      I am well aware of his world-class status but was clueless that he is so good in the air, terrific to see him back on the pitch

      Sooner Fab is back alongside him the better it’ll be for us...

      What a cameo, so good to have him back. Held my breath when he was clattered late on.

      Especially when half them commenting haven't seen him play properly. 17 minutes on the pitch last night and already showing why he's our best midfielder.

      Made Gini look a bit of a shitbag, with the way he steamed in and won those headers, also forced Gini into having to actually challenge for a header rather than stand off.

      Some said our midfield job wasn't to create but to support our attack and FBs and one poster in particular  . Think Klopp thinks differently and he will create sh*t loads just what some were crying out for an absolute Rolls Royce positive player laser like passes and always looking to break the lines

      For Salahs goal watch him if that was any other midfielder with all respect it goes out to Neco wide right end of and the goal does not happen

      It was Shaq who passed to Salah if I recall it correctly.

      It wss Thiago with a reverse-look pass to Shaq, that was what he was describing, shaq then passed to Salah. Thiago's pass is what starts that goal.
