I am no fan of Pickford as keeper. Need to be realistic though, hes not getting dropped.

I haven't watched an England game for ages and am not even sure what is competition is, Pope and Henderson? They must be better than him, he's a liability.

Ferran Torres looks an absolute steal at 20 million.

You were robbed mate.

City could be below united in 2 hours, now thats embarrassing.

I hate this chain of games on Saturdays. I'm willing to bet part of the reason they're not trying to get fans back into stadiums, is so they can have PPV for more PL matches.

It would be fair to say I have some views on the refereeing performance in tonight’s Man Utd v West Brom match.

I would elaborate further but I fear Neil would ban me for excessive use of violent sexual language.

Have they had a few in cups as well? It seemed way more in my head!

They've had 2 in the champions, again for comparison purposes Chelsea have had 3.

Always more focus on united, that being said we had a lot of penalties last season. This season though, its pretty even with a few clubs. 

Surprised no one has mentioned amount Leicester get, until later perhaps.

We haven’t either,  but then you need to actually get into the opposition box to win a penalty... or not be the away team at Old Trafford.

3 out of 5 away teams have had penalties at Old Trafford this season(Palace, spurs and arsenal). 

United have had 2.

Should have been four.

Oh yes, just disputing your point about away teams at Old Trafford.

Libpool were excellent yesterday, I was a bit worried going into the game but it was as easy a win as we've had in a long time.

Just need to keep Fabinho and Matip fit, that's not going to be easy.

Interesting interview Klopp gave Sky after the game which they didn't show. The sound isn't great but...

The cycling guy who wrote about Liverpool's fitness regime and ahem unusually large amount of 'asthmatics' pre-season said it was unsustainable this year due to the fixture congestion and would result in loads of injuries.

If the clubs want a better schedule, take less money from the broadcasters and retain more control over scheduling. I have little sympathy for the big boys here.

When are Liverpool next able to buy a centre back? If they can get one or two, they've got to be favourites surely.

Poor big team with their huge squad filled with players having to actually suffer injuries.
