Maybe we could create a thread pointing out their attendances on a weekly basis.....nah actually scrap that, couldn't imagine anyone sad enough to do that.

Tbf didn't S'ton pay 12m for him, can understand them not wanting to make a loss on him as doubt they were actively trying to get rid of him in this window. Jay Rodriguez expected to be out until Feb with an ankle injury whilst still trying to get back to full fitness from his long layoff anyhow.

....Moyes was a fan of Long, he always played well against us and he tried to bring him here on occasion. I have had a view that he is another who really needs to be 100% before he's prepared to play.

Similar to Sturridge?

Have to confess to not forming a strong opinion on Long one way or another although he has scored some important goals for Ireland.

Much has been made of Jürgen Klopp’s touchline behaviour at Liverpool, those sudden cartwheeling appearances, grasping at the air, forming weird geometric shapes with his hands, a blur of teeth, glasses and quilted sportswear. At first this was interpreted as “passion”, then anger, then provocation. Another thought occurred watching Klopp at Anfield on Sunday. Perhaps he’s just really, really confused.

And with good reason too. Liverpool’s squad is a deeply confusing collection of footballers. Watching their spirited impersonation of a coherent hard-pressing Premier League team, it was the final 10 minutes of the defeat by Manchester United that really stood out. Chasing a point at the last Klopp sent on Christian Benteke, the only centre-forward in his 18-man squad. Benteke touched the ball six times and visibly struggled to fit into a team that had just spent 80 minutes playing to an entirely different set of strengths.

.....perhaps not as bad as Sturridge but in that bracket.

At least with a camel if you tickle its balls it'll run for miles. Of course a couple of bricks smashed together also do the trick... whereas you'll never get Benteke to move from his little oasis.

Knipp's sly little digs while laughing in his match interviews are really starting to grate.

I find that avoiding watching him helps with this .

Godspeed X

A shame the amount of fans in the ground at the final whistle can't be counted.
