Glad Oxlade chamberlain and naby keita are back playing. The younger ones are interesting to watch. Hope can beat Aston Villa. Nunez to score.

Cody Gakpo to Liverpool, here we go! The deal has been signed between the two clubs

Gakpo will travel to England in the next days to undergo medical tests and then sign the contract.

who is valued at between £45 million and £50 million

Gakpo is a forward.

Who do you want in midfield?

With the signing of Gakpo, I think it means we will not extend Firmino's contract. Gakpo, Nunez, Joto, Diaz, Salah may be our 5 strikers for next season. Last season we have 7 strikers (Mane, Bobby, Salah, Diaz, Jota, Minamino, Origi) and we didn't have enough serious games for the last 2. Cannot see us retaining Bobby and have 6 strikers next season.

We also need to settle Harvey Elliot's position. Is he a winger or midfielder? Do we have enough games for his development?

Still need Firmino till end of season.

Enough games for all including Academy players. Harvey Elliot will hv first team matches be it starting or substitute. He needs to play well to start.

Agree we need Firmino till the end of the season. His contract ends in the summer. We will probably give him the sending off we gave to Lallana. Towards the last 2 months, we may play him sparingly. If he gets injured, he will find it much harder to find a new club.

Is Gakpo cup tied for the Champions League? He appeared for PSV in the earlier rounds but PSV never made it to the group stages. Knocked out by Rangers.

No one talking about the kid Bajcetic's performance last night? Breath of fresh air and shows great promise.

Even the other kid Doak showed a little something when he came on. Can you imagine at one point we actually had 3 teenagers on the pitch in a PL away game no less, albeit that was just for a few minutes but still something special.

Glad to see Ox start a PL game again after so long and put in quite a good performance.

Not happy with our defending though. We depend too much on Alisson to save our bacon, not good. Really need to sort this out quickly.

Darwin Nunez, can see the lad is trying his best. Problem is his touch is clearly lacking and this then affects his confidence. That 100m price tag seems too big a burden for him.

Anyways a win and 3 points is all that matters. We really needed that. Newcastle already going to add another headache to the battle for Top 4.

As for the arrival of Gakpo, glad to see him but really hope he is not an injury prone headache.

UEFA had changed the rule since last year...Luis Diaz was allowed to play for Liverpool in the ko stage after playing for Porto in the group stage.

So Gakpo can play in the ko stage for Liverpool.

That's why I said the academy players have chances to play and they need to performed like Stefan Bajcetic who came on to score.

The FA cup will start soon.
