Liverpool F.c.

Lallana injured again. Doubt if it will change their attitude towards a new signing though.

 

Woodburn or Ejaria may step up. Both were good yesterday (beating Derby 1-0 in PL2, Ejaria with the goal).

Starting to wonder if Lallana is worth keeping at this rate. 

 

Get the young lads in, we've got nowt else.

doesn't look like we're signing anyone else given what klopp said yesterday. so we've made a whopping profit this transfer window (again), weakened the squad and saved about £300k a week in wages. it's the FSG way. bunch of carpetbaggers.

[BangrakBob]

ANd now Sturridge is gone...

 

so it’s Danny I’ve not played since Brendan Rodgers was manager Ings if Firmino gets injured.

 

even Spurs are doing business, every one around us is strengthening and we lost 2 of our best attackers. 

[StevieH]

yeah. if you're an opponent of ours, just kick firmino. ings or solanke to replace him at this point is pretty pathetic.

 

i really, really like jurgen klopp and do really rate him but christ he makes you question him sometimes. there's plenty of other managers couldn't have survived the farce that is our goalkeeper situation and the crap transfer window after crap transfer window thing.

Well you did buy VVD but i do take your point.  The owners are directly compromising your top four challenge and its high time, well too late really but i think Klopp should have been more vocal.  New keeper, left back and a replacement for Henderson baring in mind you are cash rich.  Then i think you would have cruised to a top four finish.  Your owners really are piss poor short sighted and uninterested from what i can see.

[StevieH]

you'd be amazed how many liverpool fans defend FSG to the hilt, carmine. can't see the wood for the trees. silly pricks probably voted for brexit as well.

[champers]

Time for Liverpool fans to dust off all those "Yanks Out" banners that are lying in the bottom drawer?

problem is nobody really knows what the alternative is. these lot rode a wave of goodwill simply because they weren't the leveraged buyout cowboys hicks and gillett were. but they're clearly in it solely for themselves and their asset portfolio, the club has increased greatly in value over the song that they acquired it for, and they appear to prioritise global marketing partnerships over actual success on the pitch. guess this is where football is at now, just another capitalist playground for super-rich <deleted>.

Well if they are still drawing a comparison with Hicks and Gillett then i suppose FSG is favorable but thats hardly setting the bar very high.  

 

Like i said, imo if you fail to qualify in the top four blame should be laid at their doorstep.  The tweaks needed are so clearly identifiable.

If we fail to make top 4 it will be an unequivocal disaster, and there will be a revolt against the owners.

having sold coutinho for £142m in january and weakened the squad, yeah if we do finish outside the top 4 again i reckon the pitchforks and torches will be out.

As much as I'd love a night out in the `Ukraine, the chances of that are slimmer than Istanbul.

i don't think you win the champions league with either of our clownish goalkeepers between the sticks. i know we won it with djimi traore at left-back but let's be reasonable here.

No bigger clown than Grobellaar and I don't recall Jerszy Dudek being held in very high regard.

behave, grobbelaar was in a different universe to these pair. he was an excellent goalkeeper who had a few famous ricks, that's all, and was liverpool's keeper for 13 years when they beat all-comers. you don't do that if you're crap.

 

and jerzy dudek was way, way, way better than mignolet and karius. he stopped shots for one thing.

He actually said  "whopping profit this transfer window (again)"  and i'm not even sure that you would classify 31m as a whopping profit and i certainly don't recall you making a whopping profit before !

Don't like this keeper rotation.

 

This transfer window is going to bite us big time... to let our most creative / best player leave this window, plus a senior striker with absolutely no incomings, just seems like a bloody big gamble to me. 

 

So its the mighty Huddersfield tonight, this is now looking like the biggest game in our season, Jesus what a difference a few weeks can make.

i don't like the keeper rotation either. not only is it not a good idea in theory, in practice it's a sophie's choice of either a kick in the balls or a slightly harder kick in the balls.

Keeper rotation doesn't really work.  Sometimes but not often. in fairness both are average anyway.  Think where United would have been wallowing these past five seasons without the magnificent De Gea papering over the cracks?!!

 

And theres no gamble as such regards the window, its just plain negligence and false economy by owners that only have eyes for global revenues and what can be syphoned out.  All anyone needs to do is look at the league table and its clear to see what should have been done and what needed to be done this window.  i would very much like to see Liverpool qualify with Spurs, you play good football,  but the owners have left Klopp with it all to do if any injuries to key players occur.  They've left him relying on a high degree of luck with little on the bench to fall back on.

Mo Salah, Mo Salah running down the wing...

To be fair, Bobby has been practicing the 'No Look' finish for a while now

[wilai]

Loans:....... Harry Wilson to Hull, Ejaria to Sunderland. Relegation battles should toughen them up!

 

Also wife-beater Flanno to Bolton and Markovic (who?) to Anderlecht.
