Speaking of CBs the young Fulham pairing are getting some praise. Fulham are so diabolically turgid in their approach that I doubt anyone on here has been watching them (myself included) but Andersen (on loan from Lyon) is apparently the best in the league for the accuracy of long balls pinged out from the back and is very strong in the air. That's definitely something we've missed with Van Dijk and, to a lesser extent, Gomez missing.
Yep - made our midfield of Henderson - Wijnaldum and Jones look ordinary troubled both Matip and Fabinho at the back and kept Mo - Bobby & Mané very quiet - last time out at the Cottage!
Would have beaten us but for VAR.
Ah my mistake. I see the 0-0, 1-0, 1-1 results and assumed they were ultra defensive. Hopefully they get relegated and Klopp might be able to pluck out a gem like he has with Wijnaldum and Robertson. Given where we'll finish this season these are the types of transfers I feel we'll be looking at
Yep, goes to show just how much work needs to be put into Jones' pressing game, even when he does well at it by his standards he's still a million miles off what's required, and as you've rightly pointed out, Mo, Mane and Bobby are hugely reliant on our midfield press as can be seen in most of our goals last season and the season before, one weak link in that press isn't something we can accommodate and play well.
Yet, Milner, Oxlade, Keita and even bloody Lallanna all played their part in the press superbly when used with Gini and Hendo last season, between that collective 15 games, 15 wins and the press and counter press being absolutely key to several crucial winning goals in that run

Not sure why Blady hasn't started Foden
"If Everton were playing at the bottom of my garden, i'd close the curtains”
Cause he is a Wnaker - that’s why
How is Anthony Taylor allowed to Ref this game if he's from Manchester? He's bound to have allegences one side or the other.
Even Luke Shaw has showed us how easy it can be to score a goal.
Depressing.
City 0-2 Utd
Why no lines on the pitch there for offside. Rashford very close there
