Hart on the way out of Man City according to SSN...

Hopefully that'll give butland or Forster a chance for England now that he's not a top four keeper.

Forster should be England's No.1 IMO.

I thought the ref got the big decisions right last night. The penalty decision he gave was correct, the one he didn't also correct, and Costa just miss-timed going for the ball against the keeper, didn't deserve to be sent off for it. Keeper made a massive meal of it trying to get him sent off, but Costa was legitimately going for the ball. It was a foul, but not a booking for me.

I thought the ref had a shocker, from the third minute when he booked Kante for a nothing foul. I thought Reid on Oscar was a definite penalty, if the ref didn't then he should have booked Oscar - got it wrong twice!

Carroll conned the ref, getting Dave booked without him making any contact, the ball hit Carroll and he went down clutching his head as if he'd been bludgeoned by a mad axeman. That free kick led to West Ham scoring.

Costa's challenge was a definite booking and although a straight red would have been harsh it wouldn't have been a surprise.

Looks like another season where we'll be discussing the paucity of the officials.

 

[Liverbirdie]

We'll agree to disagree then mate, I genuinely don't believe any team benefits from more good than bad decisions, although I would say certain players are treated unfairly, both good and bad.

So can we agree that Merseyside derbies have been absolutely even over the years then?

Completely, except 1, Dave Hamiltons goal in the semi-final, won't forgive Clive Thomas :rofl:

I said this way back Pep is not impressed by his play with the at his feet.

Rumour has it Hart wants to stay in England and Everton looking for a loan deal initially. Think that's a good result for all parties

Yeah I bet Hart is chomping at the bit to join Everton.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Yeah I bet Hart is chomping at the bit to join Everton.

If it keeps him in the UK and playing PL football and therefore in Big Sam's mind regularly why not?

Is Hart really that good were he could potentially pick any top 6 side? I don't think he is. He's not better than De Gea,Courtois, Lloris,Cech, Adrian, Better than schmicheal possibly though I'm not sure.

He's obviously better than Mingolet but I wouldn't have him long term.

Everton,Stoke, Southampton is probably his true level.

Have you forgiven Moysies mate Clattenburg?

So he's better than Ming, but obviously you's are a club above his level :rofl:
Not at all dellusional are you😃

Robles is better than Mingolet doesn't mean we should take him just because he's a slight improvement.

I'd like a better keeper than Hart long term.

 

[Hosel Fade]

Pep's after buying and bringing in Claudio Bravo, not sure Hart is destined to go abroad so Everton could be a serious option with their new found wealth :smirk:

Signed a new keeper already, would be looking more at the other side of town imo.

 

[Dan2501]

Liverpool won't buy him. They've got Karius who is back in training after his injury.

Everton have signed Stekelenburg, but I don't believe he was ever signed to be our #1. Think Koeman had bigger plans for our keeper spot than just Stekelenburg.

 

[Papas1982]

Stekelenburg is adequate cover. But the fact that as soon as Forster was fit he got dropped.

Fully agree Koeman long term would want better.

 

[GG26]

Mahrez has signed a new 4 year deal

 

[Lord Tyrion]

It looks as though the Benteke deal is now going through. £27m rising to £30m. Palace have spent big although there is some balance there from the Bolassie deal. A good deal for both parties.

I'm happy with that. There's no doubt about his ability, he just never suited the style of football that Rodgers brought him into and once Klopp came in his work rate and effort were poor. He had plenty of chances under Klopp.

I wonder if Pardew still thinks he's a cheat and i hope he's going to publicly put him to the sword about not diving.

Balotelli out the door next hopefully.
