Jermain Defoe today became the 87th player to have gone on to win a trophy after leaving Tottenham in the time since Tottenham last won a trophy.

Assume Howard Webb, with the aid of Michael Owen, will talk us all through that David Coote video explaining how he sees it differently to the rest of us. Coming to a TV channel near you soon - sponsored by Sky Bet no doubt

Liverpool were clear with 8 to play last season. There's so much left of this season. Buckle up.

Rice and Saka to sit out the internationals please. Odegaard might benefit from some minutes 😐

Odegaard magnificent- the press is 100 times better with him. He was knackered final 15 but still so much intelligence and technical quality.

So, Liverpool still on par with last season. City now 3pts worse and we're still 4pts worse from the same fixtures last season. Another tricky away game done. Table only takes shape in January, still well in the race but now need to string wins together

Merino played well off the bench. Structure of the team looked so much better back to the Partey-Rice-Odegaard and then Merino for Rice.

Jesus was so poor off the bench, has an inability to stay upright. Infuriating Would rather see Nwaneri pace and directness.

weirdest save I’ve made ever 🤣

City and Pool on par with last season while we're 4pts worse. What does that all mean? Nothing really but i was bored

Points from corresponding fixtures last season Liverpool 25 Man City 23 Arsenal 22

Happy Invincibles Day.

Liverpool on course for back to back quadruples.

@Gooner_Echo3 Trossard plays purely for his goal threat IMO. Havertz and Saka are the only regular scorers. But often Tross without the goals can be ineffective. We desperately need another creative player to open teams and not rely on a Saka cross

@Merse10 It might be, but the more pressing issue is likely Trossard. He’s a winger, not a CM. You can only get away with it for so long away from home in this league. Need Nwaneri- or any natural MF- in there. Maybe Jesus up top with Havertz and Saka to spark some more creativity.

It does feel by playing a CM at RB and a RB at LB we are already complicating things even before the game has started. Is it just a way of shoehorning Partey Rice and Merino in same team?

Are we out of the title race? Its only November so there's such a long way to go but we have to improve quickly or it will be too late. Stating the obvious

We've lost Odegaard and changed shape and moved players around and it hasnt worked. We've ground it out but there's been a lack of fluidity and players not at their usual level. Gotta get back to what works with someone playing Odegaard role and not moving all the pieces around

Partey inverting from RB AND Timber doing the same from LB doesn't work, one needs to provide width and support like White at RB.

We're crying out for a settled team and players in position. White at RB and that partnership with Saka. A midfield that functions. A regular LB. Injuries in the main have prevented that

Martinelli running head down to nowhere is tiresome and easy to defend. He needs to find gears. He needs variety. Cant just to to rely on pace alone. Waiting for the penny to drop. *He wasn't alone in being poor today but these are no new faults
