    It is a good point though - does show when you cross our Jurgen - it is curtains..

    We need to focus on the league this season.. Wont be able to play so many fixtures in such a short space of time. Anyone who thinks Sheffield united will be easy will have to rethink it. Having played already 3 days previously.
    I'd love to win the champions league. But to finish the top of the league having had so many upheavals so far. should be our aim. We are the best team in the league on our day.I'd hate to see Man-city or anyone else finish above us.. they are fkers just like their fans.

    Matip, apart from his first season was pretty poor until Van Dijk came in. We will now see how good he is for the next few months, providing he doesn't get injured too. He isn't a leader, neither is Gomez, that's why i hope Fabinho drops back until Van Dijk returns, i'm not too fussed which one he replaces.
    If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

    I largely agree with what you've said, however I'd much rather Fabinho replaces Gomez than Matip.

    We can absolutely manage to win both.

    That's not to say we WILL - but we're certainly capable.

    The two-folded task just needs broken down into chunks.

    First chunk - can we ensure we finish 1st or 2nd in a Champion's League group where we are the best team? We should certainly be able to. Can we also be 7 points or less off top spot in the League come mid-January to early-February? That's certainly manageable and we are capable of being top at that stage - depends a touch on the results for others but there will be plenty of weird ones for everyone.

    Second chunk - the Home straight - can we win a European tie? Of course we can. You win three of those (which we can do) and you get to play a Final. Can we claw back a deficit of 7 points or less from mid-January to February onwards in the "business end" of a season? We absolutely can - we have winning streaks in the recent muscle memory.

    Let's see where we are at come the New Year. Alisson will be back soon and I don't see us being miles off the pace. Still think it's us, City and possibly a less likely contender that is there 19-28 games in but then falls away for the final stretch.

    We're so capable.

    City are the only ones capable of going on a long unbeaten run. They are now only 3 points behind us with a game in hand, i'm not bothered about anyone else just them. They will be boosted by the fact we now have no Van Dijk for months, and Alisson for the forseeable.

    Is Alisson due back before October is done...?

    That challenge was akin to common assault.
    If VAR did not see that as such then something is seriously wrong with the VAR process and it needs questioning.
    If the ref did not see it it would have helped if the players, if only the captain (as the law allows) had shown more outrage.
    After the incident it bizarrely looked surprisingly calm and Virgil himself, and to his credit, was not rolling about in agony.
