Liverpool subject to potenial £800m takeover by China Everbright, whose assets exceed £620b. Would make them one of the wealthiest clubs in the world if the deal goes through.

Owned by communist China?  Not sure it's a good idea plus Fenway considering selling only limited amount of shares not the whole Liverpool.  Russian billionaire Usmanov owns over 30% of Arsenal and can't do poo cause Kraonke owns 60% and controls all decision making.  Usmanov has more $$$ than Abramovich and a die hard Arsenal fan.  If Kraonke ever bails, watch out.

Rumor is Everbright don't want shares and FSG don't want to sell the whole club. Money talks though. I don't want to sell my TV, but if someone offered $10,000, I'd sell the fug out of it.

To be fair, we were missing Karius, Sakho, Matip, Milner, and Sturridge, and Can wasn't fit for 90. So I was pretty surprised, even if the media did conveniently gloss over all of our injuries but mention Arsenal's every 3 minutes.

Not the same quality players tho.  No where near.  Arsenal only played 3 starters and bunch of players from 3rd team.

Sturridge, Karius, Matip, Can, and Milner are all starters. Sakho would be as well if Klopp didn't hate him.

Sakho is going out on loan...  Again, you real want to compare those guys to Kocielny, Ozil, Alexis, Xhaka, Cazorla and etc?

PS: I did not include Gabriel, Giroud, Martesaker, Wilshere, Welbeck and few others.

Absolutely I do. Sturridge has one of the best goal scoring rates in Premier League history. Mignolet is a complete moron, so Karius is a huge upgrade. Emre Can is the only true defensive midfielder we have. Matip was Bundesliga defensive player of the season, and instead we started a 32 year old rando. And Milner was our assist leader last season.

Also- Alexis started. Granted he touched the ball like 3 times, he still played. Cazorla played more than 30 minutes.

Should be 1-0. Coutinho bottles the finish.
