That’s not something I would worry about with Keita. He’s a very physical player who does everything at pace. He’s the perfect Klopp player.

He's a great player with the ball and with great vision, no doubt. But physical player? He's probably more some kind of clumsy tackler, reminds me a bit of Xhaka. He's also a hot-head and prone for revanche fools. In today's match he was taken off because of the danger of getting a 2nd yellow. He's somehow a Jackyll and Hyde type of player. So yes, he's a physical player but not the good way you probably hope for. Nontheless he can decide a match at any level with one of his genius through balls.

I saw him get substituted today, and he has got sent off several times this year. I trust that this will change when Klopp is his manager. He is capable of doing everything on the pitch, and he will do what Klopp tells him to.

There were major doubts about Mane and Salah before they arrived, and that has turned out okay.

I quit watching at the half. Is Shrek still walking around?

At best. Maybe waddling.

Gerrard was also prone to the occasional “enthusiastic” tackle when younger .........

B.A. · Jan 14, 2018

Ibe finally scored for Bournemouth!

He hammered it home through the middle to give the Cherries the lead against LeArse.

CB-West · Jan 14, 2018

Jordan Ibe just scored his first goal of the season to put B’mouth up 2-1 against Arsenal

Suss · Jan 14, 2018

Bournmouth lead Arsenal 2-1 after being 1-0 down. Jordon Ibe scores the second. 79th minute.

Suss · Jan 14, 2018

If we had just lost to Bournemouth it would have been because we wasted a ton of chances, had 80% possession, and made two defensive errors.

Arsenal just lost to Bournemouth in what was an evenly played match where Bournemouth had more shots and shots on target.

SamScouse · Jan 14, 2018

Sanchez not in the squad today. take him and Ozil away, and what do Arse have? very little .

Come on Stoke City!!!!!!

time for Crouchie, Allen, Adam and Johnson (if he's still with them?) to do us a favour. Beating Manure 4-0 will do nicely.

or getting beaten 4-0....god they are awful. Stoke has missed 2 wonderful chances already in the first half here too.

usscouse · Jan 15, 2018

Yeah, 2-0 for the scum even though Stoke have had more shots on goal.
Gotta do better second half.

newterp · Jan 15, 2018

to be fair - Stoke are able to pass the ball around and through united quite easily which is a bit surprising.

Yeah, it's the finishing that's the problem.
Just flashed up. Manure want Alexie Sanchez. Sergio Aguero's twin brother from different mother.

Wingtips1 · Jan 16, 2018

Since Sevilla fired its manager, we've lost two games on the bounce (one a 5-3 derby loss) and we've lost our previous defensive solidity.
These dropped points of late could be costly as we're only three behind real for the CL places.

Have a look at the table - 8 points separates fifth place from 15th.
And real are 19 points behind barca.

I don't see it happening but it would be hilarious for Real to miss out on the CL in 2018-19. Even better if they made Europa.

I think it was 2000 when they finished 5th in the league but won the CL - and the Spanish FA gave them the CL place over the 4th placed team.

YIKES:

Sanchez has agreed £270k a week after tax on a 4.5 year deal which is about £510k gross. His move was solely about the money. Can I blame him - not really - but what a joke the wages and fees have truly become. 29 with major mileage on him including no breaks for 4 years due to summer competitions. For a player that relies on quickness and some pace - this is an interesting commitment of cash.

Manure have sold their soul to Moureen, haven't they?

I remember when they dumped Beckham when Rednose thought he was getting bigger than the club...

burning247 · Jan 17, 2018

Arsenal yet again selling a decent player to a direct competitor, although I guess they'd have no choice this summer right?

It will certainly soothe the pain of playing left-back.

Do I have to get a mod to let you guys know we already have at least one transfer thread.

Yeah, I'm pissed. I've just watched my recording of the Chav/Canary replay and forgot to add the. 1/2 hour. Who'd a thunk the Chavs would let a tying goal in with 30 seconds left. Who'd a thunk the Chavs would get 2 red cards in extra time. Both players got a yellow for diving. Them in the 120th minute I get shut off.
Did anyone score or did they go to PKs. Did chelsea get beaten
These questions and more.

Yeah, I'm pissed...!!!
