Just realised I've played at Anfield and Goodison the same amount of times as Thiago has.

Playing with yourself in the bogs does indeed count.
We need to get rid of the aforementioned players in order to make room in the squad and on the balance sheet for players who able to play when we need them, there are too many passengers in the squad currently.
Nobody is suggesting we just get rid of 5 or 6 players and dont replace them at all as if that would somehow alleviate our issues
I have graced the hallowed turf at Anfield, I'll have you know.
I also graced the regular, perhaps substandard turf at Goodison.
Got beat at Anfield. Just like the first team will tomorrow.
TPG reckons we won't sign anyone - neither do I - but that's his personal opinion, not based on any info or anything
Thank fuck for that.
Nobody is advocating a fire-sale?
The point is the squad is too injury-prone to meet the demands of Klopps football, and it's something that has to be addressed. We've got a massive squad on big wages, yet we can only rely on 50 percent of it. Shaqiri, Keita, Chamberlain, Matip being the main concerns, but there's also legitimate concerns with Alisson, Tsimikas, Thiago, etc.
This is exacerbated by the fact we're likely to lose one of our most resilient players in Gini Wijnaldum. There needs to be at least 2 sales in the summer with 3 resilient players bought in. The status quo is unsustainable and will leave to rapid burnout. We all saw how Klopp's Dortmund fell apart, which should serve as a warning if we fail to act going forward. If some players mentioned cannot prove their fitness this season then it's time to be shown the door.
Has thiago played at Anfield. I remember Stamford bridge and Goodison, that's all
For Bayern probably
Yeah one game for Bayern against us
Matip has died following his long suffering condition of being made out of weetabix.
Nope, he has that over me.
However, I have played at Meadow Lane as well, so swings and roundabouts.
And with that, you would win the league and CL?
He’s dead. He’s in the Kirkby crypt.
We should not have sold him
Tsk.
Brilliant
I get the feeling we will get through to mid Jan with this squad - but what worries me is when the CL comes back in Feb (which is only what, 6 weeks away?)
We need Jota, Shaq, Millie, Thiago all fit otherwise I fear we might end up trying to compete in both and ultimately fading away.
We have a vital run between mid Jan and the start of the CL facing United, Spurs, City & Leicester in the league. It is asking a lot for those currently fit to go all guns blazing in this period, and then straight into the CL games too.
I'm worried... but also partly optimistic that at least these games aren't squashed between european fixtures.

Hopefully we can have the league wrapped up by then!
