Spurs is the big one, we should do Palace and Fulham. If we beat Tottenham, that will be a huge statement win.Last season I said we'd win it after we smashed Leicester on Boxing Day.
I'm waiting still before I proclaim anything. This next block of games might be tricky.

I actually agree with this. Gomez still nowhere near his best and is still young and will improve but Matip when no injured has been imperious ever since he joined us. He's been an excellent signing.For me when he has been fit Matip is clearly better than Gomez and Fabinho could be one of the top CB's in the world if he chose to play there full time. If we do buy a quality CB in the window I wonder where that leaves Joe when he returns?
He is only 23 - Gomez is well and truely still developing.
I am as confident as you could be given the injuries. Once players start coming back and settling Liverpool will be fine.
On the contenders, City are not what they used to be. Kane will get injured. Chelsea are a big unknown and maybe the biggest threat.
One thing is certain - this year is not going to be a cake walk.
Still tight at the top for now. Feels like most other teams are running mostly injury free. We’re going ok, but it’s a long way to go.
I dont doubt Gomez is a quality defender and can improve but he could realistically be 3rd or 4th in line when he returns and possibly 5th if you include Fab. Given he would start for a lot of other clubs I wonder what happens with him, can't imagine he would be happy not playing when he's in the national setup.
So lads... how do we think were going? Pushing towards a third of the way through the season. Are we retaining the title?
Did anything official ever come from the club saying than VVD had torn his ACL and had a knee reconstruction?
All the official releases I've read have been a bit vague both on the injury and timeframe
Virgil van Dijk to undergo surgery on knee injury
Liverpool FC can confirm Virgil van Dijk will undergo surgery on the knee injury he sustained during Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Everton.www.liverpoolfc.com
All non-official releases and media reports say ACL but I thought at the time we were quite coy on the details. Now he's back in the gym. Hmmm
This is so true.If you have 4 quality centre backs then you'll never have an injury and it will be difficult to give 3rd and 4th choices enough playing time.
If you have 3 quality centre backs then you'll have minimum 2 of them injured at all times

This is so true.
As soon as your out of the operating theatre and into your hospital bed a machine similar to a car jack is placed beneath your knee. This machine moves up and down continuously all day every day whilst in hospital. They want those muscles around the knee (quads) to not lose definition. In the old days they use to put your leg in plaster for 3 months and you would lose all muscle definition.I read a full tear somewhere. Normal to be doing light work at this stage. You lose strength in the quads if they dont get worked leading to further injury problems after ACL recovery.

Same differenceHe said Sod's, not Jod's
Yeah I saw that he took part in full training today. Great sign. Hopefully that is another back fit, joining TAA and Keita in recently coming back.Ox is back training ahead of the CL game.
I'm bored so let's put this here
