I am reasonably ok at the moment.

Sure we have been devastated with injuries but the very worst may be over plus our rivals have largely been injury free. City are still the team I fear for the title.

Nico Williams I rate, jones is looking totally at home, keita, rent, are back and the ox very soon.

The front four look good.

So not perfect we are always going to miss gomez and VVD thaigo hopefully back at some stage.

Plus I feel the team have not hit all the gears yet against wolves we saw encouraging signs

Happy with the current situation, top of the PL and qualified out of CL Group as winners with a game to spare, considering the injuries we have/had, the bad luck with VAR and quite a difficult start with the teams we have played so far.

As you say, players are starting to return, so we are looking stronger and can rotate more, I still hope we buy a decent CB in January, we cannot rely on Matip of Fab as they can be injured at any time, Phillips and Williams have done well as cover, but to maintain a PL & CL challenge I think we need another quality CB with VvD & Gomez out for the season.

Brilliant start considering the injuries and the decisions that have gone against us. I will always fear city the most because of their squad and experience of winning the league but Mourinho with spurs gives them an edge and as I keep bringing up Werner going to Chelsea might haunt us if they win the league as he has looked great. 6 or 7 teams at the top separated by 2 points so there is no separation yet. The biggest thing to me is the Vvd injury and I think it will be a factor in retaining the league and whether we can deal with his absence or not. I hope we can bring a defender in January to supplement our title bid. All in all, a satisfactory season so far.

Back to Back World Champions baby!

Ok so far especially with the 2 centre back injuries but far from brilliant with that loss at Villa

We've been fortunate that City have had as equally bad time of things injury wise. Had City not had those injuries we'd be staring up at them in the league kicking ourselves and deriding Klopp for not getting in a reliable replacement for Lovren, knowing full well Matip and Gomez's injuries history and the fact we've rode our luck in previous seasons that the likes of VVD, Alisson, Mane and Salah had stayed injury free.

The kids have done alright when asked to step up but we can't make the same mistake in the January transfer window and leave our defence so short. A solid CB is needed in January along with reliable experienced GK.

I think the GK is sorted out now, there won't be a lot of top GKs who would agree to warm the bench and difficult to get a young guy with better potential. CB I agree as Fabinho is better used in midfield
