    Should be an entertaining group and I’m hopeful for results in the games against Liverpool with the fixtures announced this morning because your lot have Arsenal (A) and City (H) sandwiched in there. Think Klopp will definitely utilise his squad against us and that’s where we might be able to take advantage.

    I think it's pretty clear that those around Joshua are scared to tell him what he needs to hear because they know he will spit his dummy and kick off.

    Must have been annoying for McCracken though trying to coach Joshua and you’ve just got 20 wannabe roadmen in matching AJBXNG tracksuits all shouting different instructions.

    The "Brilliant AJ" man from Wolverhampton has gone.
    He was replaced by Garcia who was telling him he had won every round.
    Joshua needs to scour the globe for another "Yes man".
    The odds of a return in 2022 get wider.

    I think AJ should go to Adam Booth. He acknowledges himself that he is not a natural boxer and who better to go to than a trainer who took an excellent athlete to world titles? Booth would be one of the best options out there to coach AJ into just using his explosive speed and power to knock opponents out early which is his best bet for winning.

    Booth fighters seem to adapt the low guard, jab from the waist technique. If AJ went with Booth it would be hilarious to watch him fight Wilder.

    Can see where you’re coming from but he lacks the reflexes and movement, he’s too stiff.

    AJ knows what he needs to do.
    he is not a 12 round fighter.
    he needs to go all out & knock out or get knocked out
    it's simple

    best idea is to retire now & stop allowing these people to make money off him

    You would have a better chance of points if playing Liverpool first or last when Klopp may have rotated if qualification secured.

    Mane a huge miss, the midfield is very poor so far this season and now the defence is falling apart. Can see a good midfielder being signed, hopefully Jota back from injury and the reds should be purring again within 2 weeks.

    There should be a huge gulf in class based on budgets and previous Champions League form/lack of participation but the recent record of Rangers in Europe shows Liverpool will have to play at top level to get 6 points.

    It is a very tough group with both Napoli and Ajax very good sides.

    Hopefully he loses some sponsorship and advertisement deals because of this.

    never seen a manufactured boxer thrown in the faces of everyone so much, he's on so many adverts.

    Welcome Mr Vibes

    You make very good points.

    Never has someone made so much, from so many, for mediocre talent seen by so few

    Surprised Liverpool didn’t go for Eriksen on a free. Missing that type of midfielder and Thiago a bit injury prone.

    He is much better than what is there at present.

    That guy Aribo that went from Rangers to Southampton for only £6m looks a good player and better than Milner and Henderson. Liverpool should have snapped him up as well. Big strong young player who travels with the ball and fits the bill.
