Lukaku the player of the EPL so far surely?

Has to be Harry Kane

No, 7 is a larger number than 6 and both Aguero and Morata are ahead of Kane.

Man U havenā€™t faced a side from the by now almost perennial Top 6 yet. The 7 games theyā€™ve played so far were against the sides placed 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18 & 20 in the table. The accusation against Lukaku at Everton (borne out by his record) was that he was a flat track bully who scored for fun against the cannon fodder but went missing against the big guns. Weā€™ll know soon enough if thatā€™s still the case. Man U have Liverpool (a), Spurs (h) and Chelsea (a) in 3 of their next 4 games.

He was playing with dross at Everton, but youā€™re right, the next 4 games will tell the tale.

Man U are not Everton mate.

I see youā€™re evading the Paul Clement conundrum.

Thereā€™s no conundrum.

International break. Time to sack managers.

Klopp will be dreading the vote of confidence from the board.

Klopp still thinks heā€™s in Germania and he can grind teams down with relentless pressingā€¦ The EPL is the greatest league in the world and itā€™s alarming he hasnt figured this out yet.

In his last season in Germany, Klopp had this issue also, great pressing and midfield, no finishing up front and no shutting out at the back. He dominated sides possession wise, but the results were dreadful and the league table bore this out.

When is Lallana back? He brings great energy to Liverpool and has a lot more guile than Gordon Henderson who is a huff and puff merchant.

A lack of plan B and plan C is bizarreā€¦

Klopp needs to get a proper striker in. Soneone like Lewandowski or Aubemayang.

Jonathan Northcroft had a piece in the Sunday Times yesterday which concluded that the relentless pressing is no longer a feature of Kloppā€™s Liverpool. I believe he used data to back up his point, but I didnā€™t read the article.

Klopp needs to get proper defenders

Ah yea, hand him a couple of hundred million there. God forbid heā€™d coach the ones he has, or buy properly when he had the chance to. Oh no, Liverpool ballsed up the VVD transfer, and then got all pissy when they were offered 200M for an above average shortarse of a midfielder who has done fuck all in the grand scheme of things. 200M that could, in the right hands have added to the squad if used properly. But no, god forbid.
