Sissoko is reminding me of yaya toure....

Did Le Fondre remind you of Shearer with his two against Chelsea the other night? In much less time too!

Seriously though, Sissoko looks a good player but its very, very early days.

Great weekend so far. I fully expected both Arsenal and Everton to win, one of them dropping points is a huge plus. Thought Chelsea might of slipped up but didn't expect them to lose!

What a chance we have tomorrow. I think what we need to see is more urgency and desire, this plodding about with no drive at all (bar a Bale run) needs to be addressed. We have been lumbering of late and we need to inject some serious tempo to our play, starting tomorrow.

Ultimately though, I think the NLD at the start of March is going to have a big bearing. Win that and we'll be looking very good. Lose and you have to fear the worst after last season.

If we were a tad cash strapped why on earth didn't we go for Sissoko. My word he looks like he could be quality in the league.

I don't expect the Moutinho's etc but surely after securing a similar deal with Holtby they saw another potential deal in Sissoko?

And I'm flying I. From Canada to watch that game. I'm sooooo stoked.

As long as we're in the world of make believe, we'd better establish some parameters.
Are you the manager or scout in this dream?
If you're the manager...fair enough, it's your entitled opinion.
If you're the scout, though...does the manager also share your opinion?

Its not my fault you dont know who they are!

it's early days but he looks just the kinda player we needed who could play alongside dembele now and rotate with sandro and dembele next season.

It will be disappointing if he turns out to be a real star. 3 million for him and hotlby....ohwell

Wouldn't of been that much in wages and offset by the outgoings, wasn't exactly a risk. A similar 'risk' to that of Holtby.
Disappointing really.

I want Man City to smash them into oblivion! There's more chance of L'Pool catching us up than us catching up to Man City

I still cant believe people think he Gerrard is a great passer for years he has been passing some beautiful long balls despite him missing 20 or 30 before that, there isnt any method in his passing for him to be justified as a great passer

Happy they scored. Might stop players staying down when there's nothing wrong with them.

Good on the ref there for letting them play on. Hopefully players will think twice before deciding to stay on the ground.

City denied a clear free kick before the build up to the goal, but Liverpool had every to play on when the ref didn't give it, even if Dzeko was down.
