For me Firmino needs to be upfront to link the play and Salah and Mane on the wings to make diagonal runs.

Fabinho for me is better as the deeper midfielder to make those passes between the lines. Hendo for me is better as a midfielder further up the field.

VVD was and is outstanding.. of course he does the odd thing wrong but 99% of his game is sensational

Messi score 70 odd goals every year but still misses 3/4 penalties on the spin .... to question him would be ludicrous

VVD is on another planet

Oozes confidence. Next season he should be our captain.

Should be but I doubt he will be until and unless Henderson leaves. He's probably our unofficial captain anyway, he's probably doing most of the talking in the dressing room.

He should be captain now.

He certainly does a captains job.

Don't think Fabinho is the better passer but he's better overall in that position and Henderson is better ahead of that position. I'm sure that's what we'll see when Gomez is back.

Even if you take away how good hes been, 75m after city were knocked back with their 50/55m bids and valuations of him and the fact they caught us tryna tap him up i think 75m was actually reasonable from SH Also took a lot of players from them recently glad we could give em Ings back hope he helps keep em up.

For 75m you hope they would do their job properly. Anything else would be a bit embarrassing (Morata springs to mind).

He still has a lot to learn from Lovren.

The fact that no one (unbiased) even mentions his price tag as an insult a year on says it all really. He’ll make a mistake, he’s not perfect but he’s made such a huge difference. All of the first choice back four have.

Fabinho did a fine job alongside the bouncer.

Certainly looks better so far, much more incisive
