The only European competition they're likely to be involved in, is if there's a war!

Not arguing with any of that Indy, my point is that he might not have performed to the level of the other 3 defenders, there may be better options when the other CB's come back fit. Regardless, however many points are put forward to back up the argument, the decision rests with Farke, and apart from Marshall and Husband I'm struggling to remember any player actually dropped last season. As I said earlier, my preferred choice in midfield would be Leitner, once he got injured, he was replaced by Mario who then got injured himself, giving Kenny the opportunity. There were calls on here to bring Mo back once fit but Farke stuck with Kenny through to the end of the season. Regardless of who we think is the better player, Farke's record suggests that he will stick with the man with the shirt...... that said, if he does indeed drop Hanley, or anyone else, expect them to go the same way as Marshall and Husband.

Never said he was in form. It is Hanley's shirt to lose because the alternatives are not fit, and when they are,Farke will have a decision to make, if he's playing well he'll stay in, why wouldn't he? No one has suggested that he's made two man of the match displays, you're making stuff up.

It's like Sunday League down there, which is exactly the right standard for our impoverished neighbors.

Didn't Klopp say they were on top for an hour, that's 15 minutes of the second half

I thought Kenny did his back and missed 2 days training, I'm struggling to remember anyone losing their place to anything but an injury.

Ridiculous analogy, if Pukki gets injured and is out for 3 months, and Drmic comes in and starts banging them in, do you think Farke will just drop him the moment Pukki's fit? Play the man on form,not reputation.

Should be okay with the lights, it's a 12.30 kick off... knowing our luck it'll be the VAR that does for us.

I believe that Leitner is our best midfielder to play alongside Tom, Alex or Amadou. However, once he got injured against Blackburn, we didn't see him again, with first Mario then Kenny keeping the shirt. There seems to be an idea that Hanley is 4th choice but the way I see it, he's got the gig until he gives Farke a reason to take it away. Yes big Zimm has been very impressive but if GH continues to perform he's going to have time to get fit, before serving some time on the bench.

I'd still bite your hand off for a draw.

My opinion is that Hanley will continue to keep his place, regardless of whether Zimmerman is fit, as long as he does a good job.

I live in Auckland, half a World away, still our rivals, always will be. We've got the upper hand, it would be churlish not to enjoy it.

Incredibly, there are some people on here who don't 'get' the banter, apparently they're so far behind us that it's not worth bothering with. Don't understand that mindset,give 'em hell, that's what I say.

If we need to explain..... oh, what's the point.

Apparently Cristiano Ronaldo scored one hat-trick in 196 appearances for Man U in the Premier League..... ....Pukki has one hat-trick in 2....
