Tabclear, you're right in that the Lovren situation is strange. He does seem to be very uneasy but we must remember that his starts came when he was afforded little to no proper protection in front of him. Rodgers seems to think that getting a top quality centre half in will fix their defensive problems but it is more down to the system to make you solid and hard to beat rather than the players.

Now that the players ahead of the defence are doing more pressing and making life difficult for the opposition, the defence are being given a fighting chance. Maybe Lovren was so effective at Southampton due to the protection of Wanyama and Schneiderlin in front of him. Sure look at them now, they don't miss him at all, best defence in the Premier League. Does that mean we go and sign Fonte or Aldeweireld? I hope not! But maybe soon Lovren could slot into the new system and look more the type of player we hoped he would be. Can in that position has been good in terms of bringing the ball out and for starting attacks but against the best teams and as we progress in Europe and out and out defender may be best.

DS15 back in training in Melwood with a ball at his feet!  Good stuff!!

Ibe back from Derby too, and Origi likely to be back by the end of the month.  Like having 3 new signings with DS back fit.

Maybe but still coming back.  Even if he only gets 6-7 games between now and the end of the season he is still a great option off the bench.  Serious strength and pace for a young man

He's about to fall over there. Only one way it can end.

I'm just waiting for the Echo newsfeed to say he's out for another 3 months with a strained eyebrow or something.

Confirmed that it is with immediate effect.

You wonder how that impacts on the overall squad structure as he isn't being brought back to play in the reserves.  Maybe it means that Borini is gone as well. Hopefully so as I don't think he offers enough even though he works hard. 

See the club has picked up £700k from Hull getting Tom Ince from Blackpool.  Even though it was a free they have to pay compensation of £2m because of his age and liverpool pick up 35% if that, money for old rope!!!

Delighted to see Liverpool's number 9 put 2 past Real today. You can't help but root for the guy.

Whatever about the medals he may have won in Chelsea he's only ever felt at home in Madrid and Liverpool.  He would have been worth a punt I reckon if Madrid hadn't come in for him.

Agree with this - think we should have took a punt on him especially for little money outlay.

Can someone explain the following;

Ben Arfa cannot sign for Nice as he will have played for 3 clubs in 1 season (Newcastle, Hull and Nice) but Torres can do it and he played for AC, Chelsea and AM

How does this rule work or does it apply differently in each country....

I don't think he actually played any games for Chelsea so he can move to another club.  I'm open to correction here though
