With the best clubs in two different countries.

Thanks, but I wouldn't say Fellaini likes or enjoys being the person to get all of the stick when he makes an error!

The one thing you seem to need to learn is that he's not only been in charge of the best team, he also did alright with them so he probably has a decent idea of what successful teams need.

I bet he is looking a better option as the days and weeks go by!
The owners will not be wanting to see this Stadium as a Championship one, so will try and do everything to make sure it is not just that.
I expect them to spend in January.

Really???
I would never have guessed that, thanks for that!
Karius is really struggling at the moment, it will be interesting to see whether he can turn it around before Klopp's patience runs out. Admittedly, he wasn't helped by some woeful defending for the second goal.

Liverpool need to do a deal with Man City for Hart, as it is hard to see Karius not being a liability for them.
Liverpool need to throw serious money at a WC keeper that can martial their defenders, they're leaking silly goals. They have everything going forwards and don't even have a world class striker. I always wish Arsenal could emulate their high pressing games and not encourage pressure backing off teams. Until Liverpool sort it the end result will be like their 13/14 campaign.

What players do you think they need. I dont think they need a striker as they have about ten already

In terms of West Ham, I think a defender or two could be who they target, as that could very well make the difference for them.
Liverpool have let in more goals than Man City. Someone needs to teach Klopp how to set up a defensive unit. Anyone on the forum able to do so?

He is going backwards, the media give him all the plaudits, charitable forum members such as yourself argue he still has potential, but ignore his errors. Rather than progressing he has got worse. A liability.”

I don't disagree with you that 50 million was a stupidly over-inflated price for him. But that wasn't John's fault was it? Perhaps his 'real' value is closer to 15 million, but that doesn't mean he's an awful footballer does it? That's all I'm trying to say really.... let's stop blaming the player for the fact that other people may have misjudged his abilities.

Sometimes it's a gamble that pays off. Rio Ferdinand is a good example.

Exactly my thoughts too.
