Money does not fix psychology issues or a chronic illness. A nice house is not a cure for anything other than lack of space.

I was just pointing out the inaccuracy of the statement that mental health has nothing to do with money. Numerous studies such as https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5337246/ show that they are clearly linked.

Coutinho is going bot play center mid. It's what we've talked about all summer and why klopp seemed so annoyed at the whole situation. We planned for this huge idea of building around coutinho in center mid.

It'll probably be Can Wjin and Hendo starting. Phil will probably replace Wjin with Ox replacing one of the front wide lads.

I think we will see Alex playing on the front flanks this season as there is less competition there realistically

Salah, Mane and Fun Bobby are plenty of competition for that position!

True but it's still the same question. Who does he replace?

I would prefer if it was henderson. He has a high level of involvement but his passing has been poor so far. He could improve on that in the next couple of games but if not definitely. You have to play the players who are on form and at the moment that is Wijnaldum and can. Later in the season that will change around again

Watching the new series of narcos all this week.

Bobby would not look out of place with them lads the way he looks and dresses

I mean as back up......

He ain't anywhere near god enough for a first team spot anywhere on the pitch.

But in center mid we have Coutinho, Lallana, Can, Henderson and Wjinaldum.

Up front we have Mane, Salah, Sturridge, Ings, Solanke, Marokvic, Woodburn and Firmino.

With Firmino and Sturridge playing center, and Solanke and Ings being squad back up. I can I see that wide berth as Chamberlains biggest chance of getting game time.

But again as a squad player. Which is good because they can't play twice a week every week for the whole season.

We needed a squad and how our bench looks pretty decent.

Karius, Klaven, Trent, Chamberlain, Solanke, Coutinho and Sturridge. That is very likely our bench this weekend......

Jose Enrique has retired at 31.

I wish him well.

I could see Milner being on the bench ahead of Solanke. Milner can cover for midfield and left back if tactics or injury require.

Your six days early. We won the title on April 28th 1990 (won it with two games to spare)

Also Kasper Schmeichel was born before Liverpool last won the league but the video along with some United fans claim other wise

Jaysus I can't believe I left out Miller and Robertson..... of course then we also have players like grujic Woodburn Ward and Marokvic who have the ability to play a part if given the chances. Not to mention Clyne and lallana eventually returning.

I'm kinda getting excited about having a squad to be honest. It's a nice change.

A top 4 spot, get out of the group and get to any final. That would be a successful season. Dealing with the extra games won't be easy so getting use to it and making sure we have it again next year would be my aim. Next year we will need bigger targets but for now just competing and not looking out of place on any front would be my target.

Yeah we definitely have a good pool of 16 players for PL and CL this season and a "second" team for the domestic cups.
We should not be seeing any of our front 3 in the League Cup games or the first few rounds of the FA Cup. We don't need to see Coutinho in those games either.

Of course. But that's just united fans being united fans. Some of them are knowledgeable but a lot are just sheep who just support the team when they are doing well.

I have three friends who are arsenal fans. Up until 3 years ago they kept the whole "living in the past" as there go-to line for all debates. Until of course they realised how long it's been since they won it......

United fans need to realise that 5 seasons very quickly become 13. All of a sudden you haven't won the league for 26 years............. it's not like it hasn't happened them before.

They spent a lot of money in the last 4 years and it hasn't produced. At least I'm sure they didn't spend half a billion plus extraordinary wages to win the league cup and Europa league.......

But I digress, opposing fans will always take jibes at each other. It should always be taken light hearted because there are bigger things in life than this game we are obsessed with.

For what it's worth the video (which no didn't see) may be inaccurate, but in 6 days it will be a little more accurate

NukaCola

Can be applied to people in general in all sports tbh

dogbert27

Wow, just noticed we have 5 games in 14 days coming up and should be televised!!!

Squad will be getting a run out, no wonder Markovic is being included in the training!! Could be part of the League Cup squad.

Harry Palmr

Markovic will probably end up going to Turkey again - their window is still open.

Wouldn't all Turkish teams who have European football have had submitted their squads by now?

It would only be worth his while if he was playing at a high level. Rather keep him around Liverpool as an extra body for us.

Harry Palmr

Team for Saturday, presumably Coutinho will be a sub. Hopefully Firmino will start as it might be reckless to have Sturridge at KO. Moreno - will he be a CL player rather than a PL one I wonder.

Mr.H

Of course I wouldn't be surprised if Marko left, but I would keep him. He may not play 10 games but he allows us to have a bigger squad. Having him as back up in a just in case scenario is a good thing.

I'd even give him minutes from the bench go fight for a spot

Ox Chamberlain instead of Gomez and milner for Robertson I'd say

Forgot about Ox-Bow! He'll be on the bench as the least, and yes maybe he'll play RB after all he signed to play midfield like Milner

I had to check when that article was published after or before the comments I made on it yesterday, it was after so I wasn't raising an issue I had seen elsewhere.

2018 summer transfer window to close at 5pm on the Thursday before the start of the season.

Positive move I think!

Ooh that was quick. I completely understand the desire for this move however unless all the big leagues adopt this new deadline aren't the English clubs just putting themselves at a disadvantage to the rest of the European leagues as a result of this?

Operation keep Moreno has worked. We don't need to play him again until near the next window.

If he doesn't talk sh1t about the club and gets on with his playing, I wont hold it against him pushing for a move.

Its almost as if everything we read about him refusing to play was complete bullsh!t.

Well he doesnt have much choice now does he? The window is closed. When it was open, he was nowehere to be seen. Crying in his Jacuzzi at home.

Mr.H

Changing the transfer window is the biggest mistake ever made.

I fail to see how anything positive comes from this. If it happened this year we would not have signed Chamberlain and coutinho still would have been chased until the last day of the Spanish window.

This only has negative consequences for English clubs and offers nothing positive.

Turtyturd

Just wait until a major player suffers a long term injury on the opening week and can't be replaced and there is uproar to change it back.

J Mysterio

I think its good news to change it. Aint nobody got time for transfer nonsense once the league starts. Let the teams settle down and get on with it.

Turtyturd

Also sad to hear about 360. Got shocking abuse on here while injured, hopefully things work out for him.

Himself and Wijnaldum in the same team spinning in circles while opposition players try in vain to get the ball would have been a sight to behold.

Yet we bought Alex after it started and it didn't affect the team

But players can still leave to teams outside of the England, so we'd still have had all the Coutinho nonsense, but with no potential to actually sign any replacement.

I wonder will Coutinho's back pain return around Christmas and the New Year?
