A Guardiola-Klopp double act in charge would not work. One or the other would get infinitely more out of this team than GvB. The first thing a decent manager would do would be to get more out of this team. Did you see Klopp's first Liverpool team?! 10th to 4th and a CL spot.

I see what you mean. I always think evolution is best. A rebuild, to me, sounds like all the players are rubbish, which I disagree with. I would be taking up the options on Sands and Tillman. McGregor, Davis and Arfield should not have been resigned last summer. McGregor will be a big loss, but we do need to move on to a more modern 'keeper. That should have been done in the summer. Davis and Arfield are just squad player, to me. McCann should be ahead of them, IMO. I feel like Kent and Morelos will sign new deals. I would like to keep Morelos, but wouldn't mind seeing the back of Kent. I like Kamara, and he's got several years left on his contract. Helander and Roofe and go. They never play. It's not a loss. Jack should re-sign too. He's a good player, good presence around the place, albeit injury prone. I do think he plays enough - he certainly plays more than Helander and Roofe, for example. I don't think we need 5 first-team players. Three certainly: GK, #8 and a RW. Maybe a CB, but I'm happy with King and Sands, to be honest.

I agree: We're p*sh. I've been saying it for ages. I don't think we need a rebuild, though, but you know that...

Napoli are very good. However, we actually held our ground until the penalty debacle and subsequent red card.
-
What are your thoughts, folks? I'm hoping for a new record!

One last point: Brugge had Mignolet in goal. Mignolet.

Moreover, Liverpool are rubbish this year. They've conceded against every side, except Bournemouth and a 0-0 Merseyside derby. Just ping the ball over Trent and it's a free shot on goal! I'm exaggerating, but still...

I don't agree with this 'we're outmatched financially, so that's that' stance. Club Brugge beat Atletico 2-0 last night, to record their third straight win in the CL (Leverkusen and Porto are the others in their group). They are not on a level financial playing field. Brugge sold £50m worth of talent (three star players) in the summer, and replaced them with 4-5 players for £4-5m each. We're not far off that. Going by the rumours, we were in the market for the same player (Skov Olsen). (They did spend £13m on one player, who didn't play last night.) Brugge didn't go into the game against Atletico thinking, 'oh - Atletico have several £50m+ players, so we've got no chance'. No. They did the basics right, they set up to nullify Atletico's strengths, and, crucially, had a tactical plan to actually cause problems and score a goal. I would - and do - blame the manager for the majority of it. However, we did beat Dortmund and Leipzig last season. They are CL teams. Frankfurt held Tottenham last night in the CL. Again, Frankfurt are not so much better than us, and have taken a point from a side with vastly more financial resources than them.

Nottingham Forrest might be looking for a new manager. Ange... ?

He's 29. We're not making much, if anything, on him.
-
This must be some sort of record. 94.12% of the votes are for Colak.

True, but neither were prolific at Wolves. It's a general lack of goals throughout the team, for me.
-
But it was one of the best away results of GvB's tenure!?

Not PL, but Chris Wilder has been sacked by Middlesrough.

I think Wolves will be fine. They've got a good squad. They just can't seem to score.

That doesn't count as a 'First Rangers goalscorer'. -
Citeh are overrated. Imagine conceding three at home...
