Happy to send Solanke out on loan for some minutes, 4th in the pecking order atm.

Agree Ross, don't think Clyne will go in January. With Gomez still injured Moreno injured/potentially out of favour we are a little thin at full back. He'll be sticking around until the end of the season
 
Clyne I dont think is going anywhere. We are a little short in defensive positions at the minute and his experience will come in handy as the season rolls on. Plenty of big games to go and you can see that despite being down the pecking, unlike Moreno, Klopp still trusts Clyne to come in and play and do a job.

I'm not creative enough to make that up as a piss take.

A striker, who can shoot with both feet, Neill junior Is blessed with abundant technical qualities, and the desire to follow his famous father’s footsteps into the professional ranks in England.
Previously on the books at Blackburn Rovers - the club where 96-cap Neill made his name in the Premier League - Marcus was heavily scouted by Manchester United and Everton before Liverpool stepped in.
It’s understood the youngster has joined the Reds on a two-year tenure, with the dream of breaking through at Anfield one day now unfolding in front of him.

Neill, who opted to join West Ham over Rafa Benitez’s Reds back in 2007, has been quietly nurturing Marcus from the family’s base in Lancashire.
The retired defender, now 40, has been the Scarlet Pimpernel of Australian football since being abruptly cut from Ange Postecoglou’s plans ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
There was no Tim Cahill-style farewell, or acknowledgment of his contribution across 17 years with the national team.
Sydney-raised Neill has since turned his back on his homeland and cut ties with former Socceroo teammates and the wider Australian football fraternity.
Instead, he has concentrated on helping nurture the football dreams of his son.
Neill’s close friend and former Australia Under-20s teammate, Mark Robertson, who is based in Manchester, believes Marcus is at the right club to deliver on his promise.
“Liverpool had a look at him for a few weeks and then took him on board,” he said.
“He has a terrific eye for goal, even from distance, and I think it’s a great place for him to continue developing. He’s reveling in the coaching there.”
According to Robertson, Neill has not glossed over what it takes to make the grade.
“He’s pointed out the pitfalls of the game as well as the great things to his son, whether it’s financial, emotional or physical,” he added.
Neill, who faced bankruptcy back in 2016, was accused of putting cash before career by the cynics after opting for the Hammers.
But Robertson, who played for the likes of Burnley, Swindon and Dundee, tells a different tale.
“Liverpool wanted him but I don’t think he was feeling the love as much as he was at West Ham at the time,” Robertson said.
“It was more about coming in as squad player there, while at West Ham he went on to be the captain.
“He got hammered over the financials but it wasn’t about money.”
Robertson’s own son, 15-year-old midfielder Alexander, is on books at Manchester City, and already a youth international with England. He’s also eligible for Peru, through his mother, Australia and Scotland.
“Lucas and I are trying to guide and lead the boys but then they come home and jump on the X-Box or something and you realise they are just kids,” he said.
“We talk to them like former pros because we know how tough it is to make it.”

I think we will certainly try to win the game but a draw will be a fine result. Doesnt matter what Spurs do, we will still be 7 points clear a the top of the table with then 17 games to go.

I'll take the draw. But a win would be monumentally huge. Cant wait. I believe.
 
I think a lot of people are underestimating City. I've seen pundits talking as if we had already won the match. It is going to be the toughest game of the season so far and I can see us losing as much as I can see us winning. If we get a draw out of it I'll be happy.

If we want to be champions we really need to be winning this game. Champions beat the best. There’s no time for losers now.
 
Wilson has scored again, his 9th for the season. If we're going to be getting anyone in during the window I'd bringing him back from Derby. If we brought in a brand new player it could take them 6 months to learn our style of play, as we've seen with Fabinho, Robbo and Oxlade. In a title race we need someone who can hit the ground running.
 
We need to play our game. That is what has got us sitting on top of the EPL ladder after 20 games. City are a quality team and they will lift for this game however I think we are a better team. They haven’t beaten us since the mane red card and the difference between us this season and last is consistency due to a much improved defence and midfield. I’d take a point now if it was offered but a win would set us up beautifully. Come on you reds.

Press the f**k out of them high up the pitch, for example get Bobby to make life hard for Ferandinho who is pivotal in protecting their backline. They have a vulnerable defence and we can exploit that. Speaking of which, i don;t know whether they play Zinchenko at LB but if they do,that surely will be an area to exploit as well.
Just don't sit back otherwise KDB and David Silva will have a field day.
 
Happy new year pool fans, hopefully 2019 can bring us some joy.

Purely on form and confidence i think pool need to take the game to City and put their nerves to the test

Yeah it's a real 50-50 game. The press are out of control with us at the minute, everyone talking like the title race is over when it is anything but.
