Me too. Though I think Firmino of last season could have made it a question at centre forward.
Combined Liverpool City XI for THIS season would be
Allison
TAA Van Dijk Walker Robertson
Sterling Sane Silva Fernandinho
Aguero Salah
City 6-5 Liverpool
based on whoscored ratings

No chance is TAA better than Walker.
Inflated view?
They have made their best start in their history, they are on course to break the least goals conceded in the premier league, and they have just started scoring goals.
Surely you have to give them some credit.
They will get their credit when they actually win something, until then a great start is just that, a great start. This is my problem with Liverpool fans, they’re acting like things are now reversed, but United were actually winning titles while they looked up from us from mid table. No comparison yet.

Absolutely. But much of that is down to the team gelling brilliant, excellent work by Klopp and a little bit of luck as well. I'm not going to look at their points tally and claim Milner and Salah are as good as Keane and Messi.
Just seen that Joe Gomez has put pen to paper on a new long term deal. Great player and will surely only get better. Can't wait until he's back from injury
They don't have to be. The same way we don't need another world class CB to put in improved performances. It all comes down to what Klopp has done with them. Which is admirable.
I didn't say they have to be.
And you never know. If you fail to win the league, it may prove that they do need to be as his coaching wouldn't be enough.
Most Liverpool fans don't even dream of catching City. True, we are leading the table but it's only December and we have been fortunate that VVD as well as the forwards have avoided long-term injuries.
Sod City for now, we have a game tomorrow that can in many ways make or break our season.
Checked it and it is true. Against West Brom, can still remember that hillarious post match interview from Klopp.
Same time they conceded two or more in 6 out of their 8 CL-games. Strange.
Most PL teams pay us a disproportionate amount of respect that leaves them short-handed going forward. Most CL teams won't sit back like most PL teams.
Now do the CL
They are going to win the league this season....At least they have showed ambition to do it unlike our manager, owners and who ever the head of recruitment is at the club
I don't see either team taking the other's CBs.
I hope Klopp will start using Latin quotes to motivate his players now, or write their names in envelopes. We all know how that's going to end.
Wouldnt say that. Surely the league is the priority this season & the CL is just a bonus for you lot ?
Then dropping into the Europa League & playing Thursday night away games in Eastern Europe is the last thing we need. This isn't just about staying in the CL, but giving ourselves the best chance in the PL also.
Fixed. Our manager, like him or not, is not the reason we won't be champions any time soon.
Disneyland.
Klopp turned down Disneyland for Liverpool.
I don't know how that hasnt sunken into the heads of the people nit picking Pogbas hairstyle or how much of an arse Jose is. Zoom out. The problems above the team and coaches paygrade .
Walker is better than TAA, at present, albeit Walker is 28 and TAA still a teenager?
The bigger point most people are missing is that both players represent their respective clubs' and managers' philosophy.
One - a £50million purchase buy the most expensive, lavish right back we can find. The other a talented youth product brought through the ranks - despite criticism, even for his performance at Old Trafford last season - yet persevered with and being nurtured.
Something to ponder over.

I get stones and gomez, but you don't think City fans would take van dijk over Laporte? At least when ignoring age?
Just tag all the city fans on this forum and ask.
@allthecityfans
Not sure that works @roonster09
It's all about opinions but you would think, Van Dijk is better than Laporte/Stones who are better than Gomez.
However, nothing wrong with any of them and all up to the job.
Gomez unfortunate with that injury, but they do have decent backup.
Liverpool have another tough spell of games, but they came through the last one okay.
I've not checked fixtures, but they must have a decent run in at the end of the season
Ignoring age then there's more of a chance. Laporte is only 24 I think?
It's the hope that kills you.
Fergie also did the envelope thing
I'd personally take TAA over Walker.
I know Walker is the better player right now, and may have a higher ceiling. But TAA has impressed me. He's only 20 so you'll get 8 more years out of him compared to Walker. He's also an academy product, and seems like a nice and decent person. He's friends with Lingard and Rashford, which is nice to see (when they play for country they put aside club rivalry).
Easy choice in the end for me.
I'd probably take Laporte over Gomez. Just stylistically my preference although you won't go wrong with either player.

He did it properly though to be fair, after a title winning season. Not in his 1st few months in charge & before a ball has even been kicked in the league.
i don't see how another manager other then Klopp would have made Pool this good, not even Guardiola as he needs money.
Pep is not a serial loser though.
Poor Klopp has only spent £394m on 13 players since arriving.
Klopp's hardly been working on a shoestring. He broke the world transfer records for goalkeepers and defenders with Alisson and van Dijk, spent £150 million strengthening the midfield, and £90 million on their forward line. All signs point to the spending continuing too.
People act like Klopp's barely spent, when he's spent shit loads.
