I don't really want to comment on the Chelsea game because the negativity is so bloody over the top. Did I really read it right? #KloppOut? Jesus.

Re the Fekir talk, I think he's a fantastic player and would fit in with our style of play. My only concerns are his injury problems (he seems to have gotten over them which shows great mental strength) and also where would he fit in? He's not going to sign to sit on the bench so is Firmino who has just signed a long-term contract going to make way? Salah, our most effective player this season? Or are we going to change the system that's helped us score over a hundred goals this season?

Isn't he an attacking midfielder who could play behind that front three? In any case, if he was more of a forward I would think the front three would be rotated based on form and fitness.

Yes, he also plays as a striker and a right winger (I think he can slot in on the left as well but he's not quite as effective there) . As we don't play with a no. 10, he'll either play up front or on the right which I just don't see happening with Firmino and Salah. Even with rotation, I can't imagine Fekir agreeing to join us without guaranteed first team football, not to mention he'd probably be the one to be left out in the biggest games of the season.

Fekir is absolutely quality, and we should be doing everything in our power to get him (even if it means negotiating with Lyon’s owner) . I’d hardly class him as injury-prone, either, he’s played 58 league games in the past two seasons. Him and Keita compared to our current midfield is an enormous step up in quality.

I don't see where the problem is. Play him just behind the front 3 (and backed up with Ox depending on the situation) . And if one of Mane or Salah need a rest then slot Fekir in, also. His style of dribbling and passing in tight spaces is exactly what we need against the teams that park the bus against us. Play him just ahead of Keita and one of Hendo/ Ceballos/ Wijnaldum.
