I honestly think if we don't bring anyone else in we will really really struggle to break back into the top four. We are a top six team for sure.
But we're already in the top 4 now?

Just look to Mahrez' performance yesterday and hope that PC can put the transfer request to one side.

I did see some of Mahrez' performance yesterday and thought he could be quite handy for us...

Firmino not at his best yet either.

Robertson is looking like a steal at £10m.

Got in just before the 'Age of Stupidity' where transfers are concerned. You probably couldn't buy a half decent championship player for 10 mil now.

Quite funny I agree....

The lad we was linked with in replacement of Kieta has just signed for Barca
Was that Seri?
Just been catching up and it was indeed Seri. Not that surprised. I think he would have been a good addition for us.

We do need players.
Keeping coutinho and getting lallana fit would get rid of the one dimensional midfield.

We can afford Mahrez and he would also come. That is if the money we had set aside for budgets is true.

Firmino is average when played out in the wings. He can interchange there with a more fluid front 3 but with Sturridge it's a waste of time.

Robertson had a very decent debut against a very poor team. Especially when Klopp said earlier in the week he wasn't ready. I'm looking forward to being surprised that a left back from a relegated team can improve our starting 11.

Oh and if Lallana is out till December, then we're in trouble. He's the only one of our midfield 3 that has any creativity, especially if we lose Coutinho.

Was surprised Grujic didn't make the squad yesterday. He's looked promising so far in pre season and the sub appearances he's made. Can't be any worse than Wijnaldum's current form.

Paul Joyce has now said he was wrong to say Lallana will be out till December, LFC expect him back in Nov.

November or December. Either way it's too far off for us to not strengthen.

Looks like we are stuck with the little Brazilian.mad

We could have sold him and bought a proper midfielder like Paul Stewart.censored

Did anyone actually believe he did have an injury, His head would not have been in the right place with all the rumours and silly bids.

Hopefully Barca stick to their word and withdraw the bid then hopefully he will realise he only has 1 option.

He's also said he would prefer to stay in England. If that's not a "come and get me" comment, I'm not sure what is.

And fair play, he's got his head down and putting in the performances for Leicester right now.

Going by your logic, no team would ever sign a player from a team that is behind them in the league?? Robertson looks like at least a very handy addition to our squad....I reckon, that the scouting team might have actually had a look at him before we took a punt on him? Hoping you can eat some tasty humble pie after all the abuse you gave for signing him!

Positive in tone as ever.

Seriously fella - were 3 games in, unbeaten in 3, clean sheet against a major bogey team, CL qualifier tonight have possibly 50 games left and 9 months - for the benefit of everyone on here to make it a more enjoyable forum is it so hard for you to moderate your tone so as not to make it seem that supporting Liverpool is so unenjoyable and broken?

If your glass is half empty, pour it into a smaller glass.

Agree people are too quick to judge signings but let's wait till the end of a season before pie eating of either variety.

A promising debut is one game

Agreed, decent start but then so did Moreno, and he then scored that goal against Spurs, and i was thinking what a signing, then he showed he couldnt acutally defend! A small detail for a full back.

I think we still need 2 or 3 players in this team and squad to match other teams in the league
