yeah I think at this point, VDB being a board signing looks pretty likely. And while I don't agree with the decision to go over Oles wishes, you also have to question his decision to prove a point here. Bruno was dead tired yesterday, and nobody can't convince me that VDB couldn't be a helpful sub for 20-30 minutes. Even if he's not "your" signing, he can still be useful in such a brutal schedule. Now it's just a wasted 40m that could have been used in other areas.

completely agree on Pogba and Grealish.

I agree that Bruno should have been subbed much earlier. At least 15 minutes earlier.However I would have brought on Matic.

I also don't think Ole is doing this to prove a point. Just my opinion. I don't think he's that sort of manager who would hurt the club and himself to prove a point.

yeah maybe not. I wouldn't put him in that category either - but then again, VDB hasn't played in six consecutive league games, and a total of 29 minutes in the last 9. It's reached a point where you have to ask yourself what's going on behind the scenes.

Yeah, I just don't know. Maybe he's just not showing at Carrington.

There's an Ajax fan that pops in here from time to time. Would be interested in his take on things.

I mean there's still 10 days left in the window, surely you gotta send him out on loan if you're not going to play him? I'm sure Ajax would take him back for the rest of the year. At least let him rebuild his confidence which is surely low right now.

Wtf? No.

He's very much a squad player. And there's a pandemic going on to deplete a squad.

Speaking of which sorta bs United couldn't find a field yesterday for a gameday session and had to spend the whole day in a hotel.

Tough guy Klopp.
Runs after Sean Dyche. Dyche turns to confront him. He backs up. Dyche heads on. He runs after him again.

there's also EL games coming starting in February, plus international games in March. Good to have that squad depth then and I'm sure he'll play more down the road, just surprised he hasn't featured all that much, that's all.

The only contact was a Harry Kane toe drag after the ball was gone. From the guy who should have been off already.

I mean whether it's a penalty or not is only going to cost Liverpool 1 point. Their attack looking worse than West Brom's is a bit more a problem.

Misogynist too? You're just adding to your reputation.

The tough guy act from Klopp at half time was hilarious.

I hope Dyche rubs it right in his face after the game.

No. The narrative has changed.

That penalty wouldn't have been given against United.
