I see Raphael Honigstein is jumping on the Werner bandwagon now with his comments.

Another hat trick yesterday, what amazes me is he always seems so deep in a midfield roll and links the play yet has scored 30 goals this season so clearly a finisher also. Would love him in our system.

FC Seoul has had a brilliant idea to add atmosphere into empty grounds, I recommend you all look it up if you’ve not seen it already. Absolutely gobsmacking 😂.

with Lallana most likely off at the end of this season, will Liverpool be looking to strengthen with a versatile midfield player? Or does Klopp see Curtis Jones playing a little bit of a larger role next season, similar to Lallana this year? Grujic another option to stay at Anfield next season in this role? And another option could be Trent into midfield at times with Neco Williams playing right back?

An article in The Times by Matthew Syed apparently about the management of risk and Project Restart. I've not read it fully (not a subscriber) but I did hear him talk about it on the radio earlier.

He's articulated some of what I posted a couple of days ago and I agree with him.
Things are very slowly re-starting and football should play its part in this process if at all possible.

I'm not sure about tales of packed public transport in London this morning, that doesn't sound good.
But, all being well, come June we see further progress and a diminished R rate of the virus, and hopefully PL football is back on the cards.

I know it won't happen. but, I wish the EPL could do a deal with Australia and New Zealand.

All clubs send their squads there to train in isolation for a few weeks, then play the end of the season there.

Safer, good for the sport and there may be some fans allowed in the stadiums.

Here's a simple way to resolve the upstart bottom dwellers demanding home games. if the league decides to play at neutral venues and they don't oblige, then relegate them. If they don't want to play ball and help the greater good of the game, then they can get lost.

Their home game argument is also nonsensical and irrational, because:

> They're not the only teams being denied home games. EVERYONE is. Everyone is at the same 'disadvantage'.

> Home stadia provides virtually no advantage without the 12th man in the stands. The benefits of pitch and dressing room familiarity are negligible at best.

> If they were so good at home, then they wouldn't be in the drop zone in the first place. They're in the drop zone because they don't win enough home games and they don't win enough away games against teams with a home advantage behind them - except, no opponent will have a home advantage behind them anymore. Purslow's statement that Villa are a 'home form' team is rubbish. Again, if home advantage was so beneficial to you then you wouldn't be in the drop zone.

Wouldn't it be nice to see football clubs depend on their own skill and ability rather than the smell of their dressing rooms? Good grief.

For all those wanting an update in potential Werner purchase. Liverpool have a team who via data analyse good value and a players worth. These are the same people who wanted to renegotiate the Fekir deal and pulled out when their value was not achieved.

Any delay with Werner is going to be based on whether they see value at full price now Covid has hit and all that will mean to Liverpool around overall business costs and whether this changes the value of players in current market.

If they don't get what they see as value they won't do the deal.
