Apparently also signing Turkish CB Ozan Kabak from Schalke, who are bottom of the Bundesliga having conceded 49 goals in 19 league games.
Also served a 5 game ban for spitting at an opponent so Carragher will no doubt love him

Lol really hope this guy is thrown in against us on Sunday, check out this absolute disasterclass from earlier in the season

 
It is interesting, yet also disappointing to see Liverpool seeming to scrabble around looking for a CB.
I don't feel that inspired by any of those possibles coming in and just gotta hope that Fabinho is fit.
Not something that inspires confidence for the upcoming game. I really don't know who on nearth Klopp/Bingo is going to put in but irrespective of who he does it got me thinking about who would most scare our prospective CB's or cause them the most problems?
Maybe it is my own lack of real focus when watching City play. Enjoying the games and play but not seeign everything like work off the ball etc....but I would think that any CB pairing would rather face Jesus than Aguero.
Then again, any 3 running at pace at them is going to be tough to keep out.

Sorry, why have Schalke who are bottom of the league, loaned their best prospect (apparently, not watched any of him), when they're in top 15 in the Deloitte Money League? Doesn't even have an obligation to buy. And then they sign Mustafi.

Are they desperate to be relegated? Spineless from them.

Think it would be a permanent deal. And maybe they realise he isn’t very good
 
Scatter gun approach chasing players on deadline day is never the sign of a well run club. Funny thing is that they've had all month, they knew they had no CB's since VVD got hurt. Gomez and Matip are both about as reliable to be fit as Mendy, so it's not news that they needed a defender. Instead of getting it done early, they seem to have left it last minute and searching all the bargain bins they can find. Lovely to see

Has to be Fabinho and Henderson in defence, anyway you always have a chance with our pathetic record at Anfield.
 
klopp and liverpool will be thinking get 2 or 3 in ? a couple of defenders and lets go at city and the title

the problem city have with liverpool is the front 3 and the system klopp plays them in ? pep knows the city system is always going to suit liverpool playing us. BUT i think city have been unlucky and should have won and we got robbed in the other game in the past couple of seasons

now pep has a defence and midfield 2 city should be asking them the question and city can hurt them with a patched up defence they have to play

In most of our last few games we've not played a true number 9 though, only really against against Sheff un*t*d and in the cup game tbh, when Jesus got starts, and that was more for rotation than anything IMO.

Recently our preferred, and most successful system has been a more fluid interchangeable front 3 (from Mahrez, Sterling, Silva, Foden and Torres) with Cancelo and Zinchenko (or Walker) providing much of the width and Gundogan pushing up to join in with the attacks. But even that's an over-simplified description as both of the first choice wing backs also like to play inside as well as out.

So, it's not a case of preferring to face Jesus over Aguero, if I were you I'd be more worried if neither of them played and about how your non-defender-midfielders, new recruits and untested youth players who are going to be filling in for you at the back will be able to understand our crazy system and about them getting their heads around who's playing where at any particular moment and who to mark and who to leave.

I can see us absolutely hammering you tbh, but I've felt this way many times before and been very, very wrong with my predictions, so who knows (?), it really could go either way, as 2 of your front 3 terrify me, due to their cheating nature as much as their clinical shooting ability.

I think, as usual, the first goal will be ultra important in dictating the tactics for the rest of the game.

That's the kind of stupid shit another team in the Premier League do. The one whose name begins with E and ends in 'verton'.
