a near perfect game, and given all the pre match chat much unexpected, the newcomers have slotted in really well and our defense doesn't look awful without vvd, plus we have a good depth of squad these days

loving this team at the minute, the front three all do exactly the same thing and can switch positions infinitely through a game, you never know which player will be where, must be a mare to defend,

ditto the midfield again switching in and out of each others positions with ease, covering when one pushes forward, left to right

jota has slotted right in, he doesn't do anything special he just does things and they seem to work, more direct than bobby too

atalanta are the perfect team for us to play attacking lots of room behind and few defenders , city play a similar way

...city play a similar way

An implied prediction for the City game, 0-5. Ok, tuned for Sunday.

Jota scores the chances he gets, Firmino often doesn't. Wonder how much more time Klopp is gonna give him to pick it up.

Liverpool vs Atalanta was quite the match! Jota paying off his transfer fee early.

my daughter is showing signs of being Gennaro Gattuso

What kind of hormone treatment will get her a beard like that?

Firmino

I love Bobby, but he has to be looking over his shoulder right now. Jota is on fire.

Banking £7m for Frank and his team and hiring someone like Cocu is possibly some of the best business this yentzing season.

This has aged well.

Thanks. I’m crying.

Is it worth taking him off ignore to see what he said?

It will only make things worse.

Mamadou Sakhou won his libel case against WADA. Good on him.

+1 Utterly shameful what WADA did and I don't think money always makes the taint any better. Doping allegations needs to be backed by incontrovertible, unequivocal evidence. To allege doping for a substance not on their banned list illustrates the level of incompetence at WADA.

Cocu having to self isolate after a meeting with the Derby board where one of the attendees tested positive for Covid later on. Abu Dhabi takeover imminent after being approved by EFL (no one is sure if the guy in charge is the real deal or just using a family name to justify wealth). Team firmly in the relegation zone and would be bottom of the table completely if Sheff Wed didn't have any points deduction. 2020, the year that keeps giving. DCFC, the club that would make the best Netflix football documentary ever.

We will lose to Barnsley tomorrow.

Because this sort of thing doesn’t happen often for us Saints fans...

great seeing Southampton in the mix. And to see them flying without Ings

Burnley continuing their PPV protests with another dire 0-0.

Topical...

are you allowed to just tip up on the football forum because your team is top of the prem? what happened to the rules?

Well, we're bottom of the Championship and I'm still here.

After Chelsea put the sword to the very dire anti-football of Burnley last week at their fortress, I’m looking forward to a similar drubbing of Sheffield.

Ziyech looking a very smart player...

Derby. What's going to happen when you collapse in the spring?

He has been the difference in attacking ideas and has a strut about him. Classy.

Very happy to see Ziyech is upping his game for the wotld to enjoy. He's truly a special player. Reminds me of the 90s: ginola at spurs, letissier at Southampton, bergkamp at arsenal etc. Flegmatic players that makes you want to buy tickets

Are we labelling Ziyech as a luxury player now?

If you watched him for the last 5+ years you’d know he’s anything but.
