This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Transfer window is still open. by NDMike2001

First, I think we know exactly what Liverpool is for the most part. We should expect an open game against City with goals going both ways. The outcome won't tell us too much - barring a lopsided victory. What is more telling is whether Klopp can solve the puzzle of bottom table clubs parking the bus. Fortunately, I don't see that as a problem in Champions League.

As for Mignolet, I think that it's pretty clear that Klopp has a (good) dilemma in that he has three goalies that are all fairly decent, but nothing to write home about. Ward may end up being the best, but he's still young. Karius hadn't played a league game since being dropped last December. I'm guessing that Klopp was trying to make sure that he had a reliable #2 (and someone to push Mignolet) so that he could feel comfortable sending Ward out on loan. Of course Arsenal didn't show him a damn thing!
