Salah was picked for Egypt(I think), but hope he can sit out.

Agree with much of the women's alliance talk. Unless it was faux outrage, it was fact not conjecture. Didn't hear Noura's name mentioned by anyone so don't get the idol play there unless he's trying to establish his game for later. Also, really didn't get the calculated risk piece. I get the advantage may have sucked, but isn't it better to have one and live to play another day then not? Even if you don't use it, why not at least have it. Rob made it sound like that was the smartest decision ever. Didn't get it.

So we need a draw in either of the next two, correct?

Just got notice that my kid's ONLY rained out game of the season was rescheduled to Sunday at 11AM. We had already made plans and he asked if we cold go to The Londoner. fml

Kept pressure up all second half but little creativity Andre poor finishing. Mane plays a beautiful back post ball to Robertson in the 87th and Mane score as good a glancing header you’ll see on a corner in the ~94th.

(So was I a little) Mentality f-ing giants.

wtf Lallana?!?

Looks like this was false, only on gold.

I did enjoy the discussion of the Island of the Idols. One thing I don't really get is Rob focusing on the fact that they accept the challenge right off the bat. I'm pretty sure everyone would, seems like he's pissed every time they do that, but no one has seen anything like this so what's he expecting? Of course that changes the next time they try this, but whatever. Thought for sure she wasn't going to notice the advantage falling out.

Heads up, we're on CNBC tomorrow. Figured we would be slated for the gold package, but we're not!

It was ok. Thought the whole apology thing was a bit much, but whatever. Finally got some post-island interaction. Really thought Aaron had switched on the vote. Some interesting challenges. Still interested that we haven't seen anyone looking for idols.

Think it's clear that if we play this game, which I have no idea how we would, we will have nearly an identical lineup. I'm ok with that.

wow and Klopp's right

I get making changes and certainly get playing some kids playing time, but..... I'm seeing Elliott, Neco Williams and van der Berg along with Kelleher already announced? Why not just throw out the whole U23 squad as they'd have a little more chemistry. Could be a bunch of crap though too.

They reported him at training this AM, weird. Of course now I can't recall who "they" was, but it seemed legit at the time.

Relegated to the phone for viewing and thought we outplayed the pm over 90. Saw the xG was much more even than I would have thought to my naked eye and the stats. Three big points deserved. Guessing we make a lot of changes for the Arsenal game.

Agree `100%. I'll trade mediocre kits for money if it's put to winning trophies.

pretty meh episode. That immunity challenge looked rough though. No Rob/Sandra? Still no discussion of idol island or anyone looking for idols. Vote wasn't particularly interesting. This is the first season my son's watched with me so I'll keep on keeping on, but so far not much going on. I get product placement and sponsorship, but wow.

Thought this was interesting from the Echo today. Missed this part last week. Still confused by a lot of the details of the Nike trial, but the way it's been reported there seems no way yo go back to NB. What are your thoughts on the Liverpool and New Balance kit trial? Why have Liverpool fought so hard on this? It is really interesting, isn’t it? I think Liverpool have fought so hard for this because they feel - with some justification, it must be said - that they can earn a lot more than their current bottom line of £45m a year. manchester united earn £75m annually from Adidas and given the respective states of the two clubs just now, on the pitch, it makes sense that the Reds should be asking for a similar ballpark. New Balance, from their end, feel they can realistically match the £30m guarantee from Nike, but the intangibles on the table from the biggest sports manufacturer on the planet - such as the marketing of people like LeBron James and Drake - mean New Balance have an uphill task to effectively match what Nike are offering. It will be fascinating to see what way this swings, but as the ECHO reported last week, the Reds already have next season’s kit designed by Nike waiting in the wings. Will we ever get to see it Anfield though? We shall see.

So no TV at all, just BR. great...

Mo is back in training today (along with Brewster, Elliott and some defender Neco Williams). Matip/Trent aren't training. Guessing we'll see Joe - Lovren/VVD - Robertson? Neco as a backup plan. Just my guess.

Pretty much the same. I tried to understand, but gave up.

Finally caught up last night and just read the info from Vince above. Seems like the editors are missing the boat. The whole "go o the other camp" seemed dopey. the game and advancing is so much more about relationships/and strategy than some camp raid or even the "keeping cool under pressure" crap they spun it. The most intriguing thing (to me) is how it would be after the second person got back and they could compare notes and they missed the mark on that. Also, is no one else looking for an idol in a game called "Island f the Idols"? I can only recall two.

Eight games in, in the Scottish Prem and Rangers are in 1st (2 points over Celtic).
