That is great news about Flanagan. He's a local lad, and having those in the squad is crucial. I actually think this could be one of the most crucial bits of business Klopp does this year. I was concerned he'd be on his way out, and we'd lose that feel for the club.
Players like Flanagan just lifts the crowd. Seeing his name on the teamsheet fills me with confidence. Elsewhere, Kane and Mason and Alli are shining for Tottenham, Lingard and Rashford are retaining a local link for Man United, and you've got the stalwarts of Noble and JT at West Ham/Chelsea respectively.
