Other than Kante how many DM's really have pace and he is more a box to box midfielder who just covers more ground than anyone else.

Most DM's have the footballing brain moreso than pace.

Yeah I agree, The very best DM’s like Busquets, Pirlo, Carrick(ye probably won’t agree there) and the like all use their superior positioning skills and footballing brain to play the role.. it’s all about the interceptions in that role.. Kante is more of an all action harasser with endless energy levels

Potential Underachiever

Bit sh!t, it's deadline day, we're way short on numbers, instead of being in here chatting about potential signings, we're chatting about moving Matip to DM a position Klopp doesn't seem to value at all, sigh.

True but the win last night has helped ease my dissapointment in another dreadful january transfer window under FSG.

Massive gamble taking by Klopp and the club. If it goes tits up il be the leading the mob with my pitchfork and torch in hand

yourdeadwright

So what people think Sunday starting 11 will be,
I think he will make the following changes Lovern, Milner , Mane for VVD ,GINI and OX
I just have a feeling Mane will be benched

Im the same its such a fickle world , we make top four i'm delighted and we where right not to buy players we didn't want,
We come 5th and how dare they not spend the idiots ,.

So Arsenal keep Ozil (in a STUPID wage), and now have both Lacazette and Aubameyang up front. If they can get one more creative player in midfield, they will be very threatening. But still very average in defense, and I can't see them making up the gap to top 4 - Auba in only balances out the loss of Sanchez.

Them dropping 3 pts last night was a bonus as it leaves a nice gap and for them to catch up they need to beat spurs which would also be a good thing. Cech is a liability now for them though he is almost as bad as what we have.

I can see VVD come in, but that's it (maybe Milner drops out as well).

19 for Booby for the season that is a  great return so far and even better as he still has plenty of room for improvement,
26 for Mo is unreal can he get 40 ? probably not but should be his target , depends how many more games we play in the champions league I suppose ,

If he gets 40 in all comps we'll struggle to hold onto him .

With the new benchmark set by Neymar/Coutinho... transfers, they'd have to pony up close to the 190m mark.

If he gets 39 will we be ok?

Whats the magic number that we won't struggle at?

Whats the fucķin story with him? Coleman has broken his leg and returned to full fitness and we still havent heard a damn thing. He must be in rehab or something funny.

The most important thing tonight is a Chelsea and Utd loss

They are the 2 teams that we can potentially overtake. If we keep winning it doesn't matter what happens behind us

Add to that a Leceister and Burnley win and theres a 5 point gap between them and Arsenal for 6th spot.

Arsenal will be looking over their shoulder as well as the 8 point gap above them!

I've wondered for a while if Matip might be better for us at the base of midfield, rather than at CB. He has played there in the past, afaik. His best moments while I've been watching have been intercepting and driving forward with the ball at his feet, rather than the old fashioned tackling and marking side of a centre half"s role. And he can pass! Not that we seem to play anyone in that role these days, but if we did...

I wouldn't have him in the starting 11 at all tbh

Hah! Completely forgot about that move! I wonder does he wish he joined us 5 years ago when he had the chance...although I am sure his agent is delighted with 3 big moves in that time.

If he doesn't maybe he could get a part time job a few evenings a week as there is no chance he gets a look in again this season.

He was saying it in response to being asked whether Marko or Ings might leave, and he said maybe but that Ings absolutely wouldn't go. So 2+2...

The way the squad is going I'm surprised Ings isn't being sold and Solanke being loaned out.

We'd need to win 11 games in a row, and maybe just maybe we are within 5pts with two games to go, if they lose 4 of those games.

I like this post. Extreme optimism but feck it if City can balls up enough for ye to get back within 5 then we should be in with a sniff of them too!!

All aboard!!

Doubt it he won a trophy with Dortmund and another two with United and earned a nice wage along the way.

Don't do it to yourselves. Or rather if you insist on doing it please do it in private and draw the curtains.

As for tonight Man Utd all the way, a Spurs loss plus no worse than a draw for Liverpool on the weekend and I'd reckon the current top 4 (well 3 + 1 ) is a done deal. I'm happy to let Utd win the Second to Manchester City Trophy.

especially since there is no difference in finishing 2nd and 4th apart from a couple of million pounds

No, we finished ahead of them last season, lets do it again.

Spurs beat Man U tonight, we beat Spurs, Spurs Arsenal draw.

We beat Southampton, Newcastle shock Man Utd.

We are joint 2nd, 7 points clear of 5th

This is both an absolutely horrendous run and, potentially, a boost for Spurs. They have finished strongly the last few seasons anyway. If they have a torrid run in the next three games, they can play without pressure for a bit (potentially being 5/8/11 points outside the top 4) and then get some momentum together for March, April, May.

They'd have 11 league games to play and would be favourites in most of them. By the time they play City, the league could be won (and Spurs have a good record against City anyway) and even the strong "rest of the league" sides, like Leicester, don't turn up until the end of the season when there might be nothing to play for.

I mean, hopefully it won't matter a bit to us, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Spurs end the season in a good run of form, potentially better than most other sides at the top end of the league - in particular if Juvé dump them out of the CL and they don't have any midweek ties to worry about.

Harry Palmr

I've been keeping half an eye on Porto, their games tend to be featured on FreeSports and last night they were terrible again, couldn't find a goal against very lowly Moreirense and scrapped past promoted side Tondela yet they are top of the table unless Sporting win tonight. They seem a very workmanlike side these days, a long way from the days of AVB's era. Danilo is out for one, and maybe both games.

You can make an even better argument, We could be 5/8/11points ahead of them and only have 2 games left we would not be favourites in , Plus Chelsea last day they may be already top four secured and playing for nothing, , See it works both ways,
Win Sunday and on paper we have the easiest games left of the top 6
