Not really sure what Klopp thinks he can do with him other than melt him down and use bits of him to fix other players.
Maybe he's there to show Mané 'this is what happens if you lose focus and forget how to play football as well as just run fast'
Indeed, looks absolutely rubbish
The Ox is just doing what he does for Arsenal every game, keep saying he's not good enough and he's proving it yet again. 40 million lol. Sure there were plenty of Liverpool fans on here saying he'll be good for them.
England do have a greedy bunch of buggers around the 18 yard box. Some ridiculous attempts when there are plenty of better options. Kane and Rashford are the worst, just need to get their heads up occasionally.

I wish they would ban substitutions in injury time (unless actually injured), such a time wasting killer to the game, Livermore came on walked around for 10 seconds and the ref blew the whistle.

Fixed.

Worst player for that, people seem to have forgotten that aside from being completely useless for the past 5 years, aside from last season he's constantly picking up injuries. 40mil is genuinely laughable for a guy of his level. Now maybe he'll be a Walker/Rose/Lamela/whoever type at Spurs who under AVB looked utter dung, but under Poch given 18 months to train looked a completely different player. But I can't believe you can buy for potential or that Arsenal can reasonably sell him as potential that Arsenal failed to unlock for that length of time.
What he's achieved for Arsenal, pretty much 2 goals a season and averaging about 3-4 assists while having numerous god awful games every season, I can't believe any team would buy him for more than 5mil at that and only in a make up the numbers kind of way.
England to lose 2-0. Or heck, maybe 3-0
Slovakia to top the group.
England to lose their play-off game and miss out on Russia 2018. I'm not a gambling man, but if I were I'd put a £10 on that
Good job you're not a betting man
Not a great performance, but at least the result practically puts us through. Not sure what the commentators were on about 2nd half, yes we were better, more urgent, but there were still a multitude of individual errors that led to chances for them, slack passing and wild shooting (albeit one of those was a goal
)I'm happy that we'll make the WC, but despite being an optimist, I don't see much difference in this England team to teams of the last 10 years and therefore can't look much beyond the group stage...
Thats the Arsenal youth development model though, unearth gem of a player mess them about playing out of position for a few years and then when they've picked up the Arsenal injury bug move them on.
Random fact: Luxembourg's top scorer has more goals than England's in the qualifiers 
Amazing for Syria in the Asian qualifiers. 93rd minute goal gives them a play-off against Australia. Some seriously small countries in contention to qualify, namely Cape Verde Islands, Burkina Faso, Montenegro..
