I don't know if we've downed tools because the league is over, but we just look like we're out of ideas, firmino is a great link player but we're definitely going to need someone up top as a second option.

“but we just look like we're out of ideas, ”

Not taking chances doesn’t equal no ideas.

If you want running out of ideas look at spurs, Everton and Norwich lately.

One the subject of firmino's understudy, and the false 9 role in our team. We have minamino who will play there, origi who can be put through the middle, although plays the role entirely different and I imagine brewster also, who seems more of an out and out 9 and goal poacher from what I've seen.

I was thinking that perhaps Curtis Jones could play bobby / false 9 role. He is physically similar with regards to his height, in fact a bit taller I think at 6 foot. Has a very good first touch, few balls were fizzed into him yesterday and they stuck to his feet, seems comfortable on his left, likes to bounce pass and play one twos but most importantly it looked to me like be understood his role in the team very well, and perhaps could adapt to what is a complicated and key position, on the odd occasion if required.

When rivals said our fans would be unbearable if we won the league I didn't realize it would be because they'd be slagging off their own team who just won the title.

Another poor performance from the champions, lots of chances created and taken but that’s all, just chances. I get it’s been a long season and I know we are already champs, and big big credit to the team, but since coming back from the break, we are not playing that good, and we still have arsenal and Chelsea to come, and if we play like that, we will get beat, because they won’t need as many chances to convert into goals!

a question regarding minimino, do we think he’s going to come good for us? I’m hopeful as I like his energy on the pitch. I think given a little more time he with become a key member of the squad. How long did it take for firmiho to fit in.

Cant help feeling sorry for bobby this season, the lad needs a goal something silly . He was great yesterday but nothing dropped for him .

Seen a challenge somewhere where you have to describe your favourite sporting moment as boring as possible. As a Liverpool fan from South Africa I have gone with:

4. Ntini rotates the strike as he guides the ball for a single during an ODI between South African and Australia.

3. Willian on target from 12 yards as Chelsea boost their top 4 hopes with a win against Man City.

2. Cheslin Kolbe avoids a challenge from an English centre during a match between South Africa and England.

1. Barcelona's Ter Stegen struggles to organize his defence during a Trent Alexander-Arnold corner.

It was hard to describe Instabul in a boring way so I left that out.

VAR strikes again! The penalty decision in the United game may well be the worst decision I’ve seen from VAR and that is saying something as there’s been some absolutely terrible ones!

I’m not even blaming Jon moss really because watching it live, the first thing I thought was penalty, but how can the refs in stockley park sit there and watch numerous replays of the incident and not overturn the decision? Fernandes has fouled the defender, his studs have landed halfway up the defenders leg and he’s somehow won himself a penalty!

Being honest, this VAR is turning me off the game.

Missed the game last night. Saw some highlights.

Was Henderson as good as he looked on highlights? And was keita? he looked good also.

Sometimes I wonder if we'd be better cashing in on salah. But I must be mad. He's a goal machine. Absolutely class. Hope he stays for years to come.

Oh, I saw young Williams at lb. How did he do?

Another win, what an amazing team.
