Leicester (A) - 8pm, 27/02/17 - Huzzah Tarquin, let's go orf for a spot of foxhunting harrumph!

[Biscao]

and our manager,once again,makes really poor choices in important positions,Lucas over Klavan? Please! 

 

 

While I agree with you that Klavan should've started over Lucas, the main issue with the manager is that we have to choose between Lucas and fucking Klavan when we have 1(!) injured centre back! How the fuck did we end up in a situation where our left back, centre back and striker are midfielders? Did the spreadsheet tell us there's more value in midfielders than any other position on the pitch?

[Paco]

Klavan is gone in the summer if he can't get on in front of Lucas, who should also be gone. Sturridge will go, can if he can't sign a deal, Moreno.

 

They're all squad players though. Who out of the first 11 is going to be sold? My guess is none unless Coutinho mane or firmino say they want to leave

[Grinch]

Yet again,when Henderson doesn't play we are even shitter than normal. Massively important to the team and how it plays.

Course he is. Easily the best center mid at the club. Says more about the rest of them than him right enough.

[plazzy]

We come not to play

[Lario]

I don't give a fuck what anyone says. Sakho is our best defender, and would've made a difference last night.

 

The fact Klopp's ego has allowed him to leave, and play Lucas against one of the fastest forwards in the league, is crazy.

Klopps 'ego' didnt allow him to leave. Sakho showed he couldnt be depended upon by taking supplements not authorised by the club, forcing the club to self suspend him from games then being suspended by UEFA. The fact that the doping issue was cloudy ultimately worked in sakho's favour does not excuse him for what he did.

 

He also flagrantly flouted the manager's authority by failing to turn up for a club sessions, lateness for flights and the famous video. You might think that's Klopp's ego, seems more like sakho's ego is the one thing in question.

 

Oh, and he's not a good defender anyway. He might have had the pace to keep up with vardy last night but would likely have been caught out of position or mugged out of possession either way.

[jimmycase]

Nope.  He shouldn't be.  If he feels that the owners have lied to him, he just should tell them he wants to leave and leave.  He shouldn't be discussing it in the papers.  But I don't believe the owners have lied to him.  I'm one of those idiots that thinks they were up front with him when he took the job, and he took it on that basis.  I'm not one who believes our manager is naive or stupid. 

 

Shouldnt you be putting that to the original poster seeing Im questioning him not Klopp? The original OP is laying the suggestion however he wants to disguise it, that Klopp could be toeing the owners line with his hands being tied over new signings.

[Section_31]

The bottom line is we've still got too many bog average players and you can't polish a turd. I was amazed Klopp persisted with this shower of shit after the finals debacle last season. We need (still) a spine of top class talent, at least five first team players. A goalie, a commanding CB, a ball-winning midfielder STILL!!!!! and a striker, at least.

Stops scoring until Ranieri is sacked because Brexit means Brexit

 

[andyj]

that result was written the moment ranieri was sacked

A decent, motivated team wouldn't have let it happen.

Haha!

[joe_fishfish]

One thing I've noticed about the way we attack, it's like the corners of the pitch don't fucking exist. When our fullbacks or wide players receive the ball, they'll go forward to around level with the 18 yard line, then stop, every single fucking time. It's so predictable and easy to defend against.

 

Contrast that to Leicester's third goal. We blocked off Mahrez or Albrighton or whoever it was from coming inside, so he uses the overlapping defender to get beyond the line of our defenders and put a decent cross in. If we did that like once or twice, just occasionally, it would be something else for the defending team to think about and might open up a bit of space inside the box for once.

 

Another common theme is our shithouse centre mids taking three or four touches on the ball, going absoutely nowhere, then passing it backwards, even though someone's making a run ahead of them. I would say, if I see that one more time I'm gonna smash something, but I don't think I have enough stuff in my house to get me through the next game, let alone the season.

[Section_31]

Agreed, it's like saying you should expect to get the shit kicked out of you by a 10 stone boy just because he's wound up about his hamster dying. 

 

'up for it' or not, they're still a severely limited team and should have been dispatched with aplomb.

Sell everything.

If you think Klopps hands aren't tied and let's say you are right to think that why then do you think we have done so little to address the issues that exist and are so blindingly obvious in our squad?

[s(k)aturation]

Do (top class) players want to play for Liverpool?

 

I remember Mane looking as happy as the rats under the house when he joined.

that is the question that none of us know the answer to.

Top class players want to play in the champions league, dont they?

I guess so.

That wasn't my question.

Correct. But it is interesting to see peoples opinions.

We arent in the CL was my point.

[stringvest]

sometimes.  Mine is that he has been given money but chose not to spend it.  More of a hypothesis than an opinion, really.

[s(k)aturation]

No one was really queueing up to join for 2014/15.

[Gym Beglin]

I bet Firmino is shit tomorrow.

 

Genuine insight.
