Liverpool F.c.

[P45Mustang]

Just reading through this threads last 20/30 pages ,something sticks out like a farang in a smoking jacket & brogues in an early morning market in KPPT...Namely the Southerners,they are like vultures hovering over the thread ,waiting for their turn at the table after the Lions have had their feast.The subject is well and truely dead but the vultures still land ,scavenge on the carcass,even when the scraps have gone they keep picking at the bone.

Tomorrows game should be a good one ,hope to see something like our starting XI v Southampton ,but this is only a friendly not like a final v Man U in the USA

Hello btw!

You seem confused or biased kurtramsbottom. The subject is NOT well and truly done.

It might be if UNITED finish higher in the Prem though.

The scum will NOT finish higher than Liverpool.

I wouldn't put money on it.

What about them finishing above your rent boys?

Quite possible.

Can not take them for granted.

[P45Mustang]

Basically comes down to who's got the players and the manager.

I have faith in Mourinho. City probably got the strongest squad.

What do you do?

Up to Brendan. No win this season, no loss. Years ahead of him.

Don't see wheres the argument here. Mindyou, i do struggle to believe that Liverpool would be happy losing to United under any circumstances and it was a peculiar pre season fixture that one!

thats the arguemnt carms they get so outplayed by man ure in a 'cup final' be it a pre season b4 a huge live crowd and a massive world wide tv audience, no scoucer on here for a day or so after the game and then they come out with oh were not bothered, Really!!!

mean while wee willy is busy having a pop at arsenal for 'inventing' the emirates teophy but never winning it.

"Outplayed"

Did you watch the game?

yep suspect defence with gerrards limited defensive capabilties leading the way. wqqat the defending end of the park alway looks like he ha sa.mistake in him and a pretty toothless attack. As we know pre season gives no idea on lge form but Imo going on that display your squad looks thin, maybe one definatly two injuries away from being a pretty average midtable unit. And yeah i'de stick by outplayed, the second half in particular, utd pretty much over run you.

[Devil]

Well not long to go now before the season start - thank God !

Anyway thought this was an interesting interview (copied below) with Coutinho, I was wondering why he was playing almost as a CM in a couple of Pre-Season games. And also saw the aggression in his games towards the end of last season.

Philippe Coutinho - Midfield General?

Philippe Coutinho has told Brazilian radio station Radio Tupi that Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is moulding him into a midfield general.

In an interview translated by Liverpool fan page Liverpool FC 360 – Jeremy’s Lfc360, the playmaker said that he feels he’s toughened up since going to England and that he is using his physicality.

The radio presenter says “Speaking of improvement, I see you’re not that mild-mannered boy on the pitch anymore?”, to which Coutinho replies: “I owe thanks to Brendaõ (Brendan Rodgers) for that. After Wigan away, where I didn’t stop fighting – Brendan called me to office and told me he’s sure I can be a ‘volanté’ or a no. 8.”

The presenter then questions this development, saying it isn’t Coutinho’s natural game. Coutinho disagrees: “A number 8 role? Why not? I’m only a boy. Brendan showed me I can learn. Brendaõ said before Everton at Anfield, “do you have the fire?” Before Arsenal he told me to not give them peace. I gave no peace.

It (my physique) will be (suited). I’m working closely with my amigo Pedro Philippou (trainer) and (Ryland) Morgans. I look at my teammates too. I work with Joe (Allen) sometimes to see how he uses his body to protect the ball. He’s amazing at it.”

The midfielder then said that Rodgers had given him DVDs of Valderrama, Valeron, Rui Costa, Francescoli to study for holidays.

Before the interview finished, Coutinho was asked what he felt when he was excluded from the Brazil World Cup squad: “Anger. Not because I’m selfish, but because I could have offered something.

I’m going to use this anger and push myself to my limits. I saw how Luisito (Suárez) was a maniac in training. At this point, my body and mind feel like clay. I will mold it the way I envision, and I will use my fire to make them harder.”

With Coutinho moving central that gives options for Lallana, Markovic to be used and rotated more.

A few reliable journos (Tim Vickery and Maddock) stating they know LFC have made firm enquires with a big name player who will be joining to replace Suarez. Nothing from (Pearce or Barret) on this as yet... but at least we are aiming high.

Moreno - by all accounts is now done, so another first choice target. I think thats been the difference this year with out transfers.

Chelseas squad is just as strong as City's if not stronger, despite being weakened by the sale of Lukaku, but then again in Mourinho's defense theres been many a time last season when you didn't need a striker on the pitch.

Why are you constantly trying to lower expectations? After all, Mourinho does that quite well already what with his multi million pound star studded little horse an all that tosh.

Don't understand the rest of your post.

Apologies for keep quoting myself here, just trying to avoid all the SPAM thats been filling the thread for a while as I have to wade through pages and pages of non LFC related posts...

Anyway Regarding the 'Big Name' player being reported by (Tim Vickery) I've just listened on a latest podcast to what he says, he got call on this from a reliable sources (not a player agent) he then said its great news for LFC fans "a big player is coming in as the replacement for Suarez" BUT its 100% not Falcao. Thats all he can confirm or seemed willing to say on it.

People now putting 2n2 together that its 'Cavani' or another 'South American' player given Tim is the South American correspondent.

One of the diminishing group of football journalists who knows football, isn't a gossip, tweets less than ten times a day and has ethics. Great guy.

Warning of incoming name dropping-I met him once with a small group of South American football writers/nuts-wonderful person without any sense that he was "better" than anyone else.

I'd have to admit, Eddie Gray was one of my football heroes.

Leeds will return at some point in the future I suppose.

[redrus]

^

I've known Eddie all my life, lives down the road from where my Grand parents lived and where my old dear now lives.

He once had me by the throat by a bus stop and accused me of nicking fresh juice off his doorstep. When he let go I ran off and shouted "I never nicked it but I wished I had, w a n k e r .!!"

I was only about 11, on school holidays from Manchester.

No disgrace if Brendan doesn't win the Prem this time.

He's only just started on his managerial career.

Window's not closed yet either, so Liverpool are likely to be highly dangerous. ( So are City).

[P45Mustang]

Talk of Lavezzi from PSG. Only gossip, but if PSG buy Di Maria they will need funds because of FFP.

Lavezzi highly dangerous against our lot in the CL last time. Turn and bang.

So I guess as as far as Vagarkles, Ejit and Pish-flaps45 are concerned that result would suggest we are going to win the league

Who is vagarkles & Ejit? I get the pish-flaps45 .

I reckon we should be favourites now for both the prem & CL ,especially with City getting tonked by their biggest rivals in the sky.

Liverpool looked very good against Borussia Dortmund.

There is no need to overcomplicate it.

Apparently Klopp was asked after the game what he thought of today, he said "i beat Liverpool 5-0 with Mainz so its 5-4 on aggregate"

see the spoucers are bleeting but yep, good result and specially good 4 @ a defender to score on was it his home debut?. looked more or less the first choice out, but after that,, !!!!! imo 4 europe plus the prem, squads still thin 4eg sturridge out, u'de struggle
