Hoffenheim (A) - UCL Play-off 1st leg, 7:45pm, Tue 15/08/17 - [K]lopp's [I]ntensive [T]actical [T]emplate to hassle the Hoff?

[El Rojo]

If you still have any time for FSG then take a look at that squad. It's surely obvious to anyone now that we are being taken for a ride by these guys. It's a slow-hand theft of our assets through record profits and chronic lack of investment. 

 

I would absolutely Kevin Keegan love it if not one supporter bought a single ticket for any of our games for the whole season. Empty Anfield and keep it that way until they sell up and get the fuck out. 

 

Hoffenheim will bang it into the box and we'll give it up. 

 

3-1 Fuck off FSG

 

Even with an empty Anfield, they'd be earning enough from the TV deal to be keeping the whole thing nicely profitable. The English game was made for them.

[Iceman]

They would shit it though. They know full well what we did to the last lot. 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

They love good publicity, no boat rocking. That might be challenged after the start of September.

They need to come across with the dosh or they'll be up against it. Won't care ? I think that might change.

[Iceman]

Cock Piss Henry. Do it. 

[Pureblood]

Alexander-Arnold, Moreno, Lovren, Milner, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Can, Mane, Salah, Firmino, Kent, Solanke, Origi, Gomez, Klavan, Flanagan, Robertson, Matip, Grujic, Mignolet, Karius, Ward

 

War chest. 

[Iceman]

[Strontium]

That squad on paper isn't very encouraging at all is it?

Not as discouraging as it is on grass.

 

Whether on paper or on grass, I fear it will be easily blown away.

[Red Phoenix]

From wikipedia :

 

In an April 2014 article in Forbes, senior editor Kurt Badenhausen called FSG "the most sophisticated, synergistic player in the coming age of international sports conglomerates".

 

...

 

Alexander-Arnold, Moreno, Lovren, Milner, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Can, Mane, Salah, Firmino, Kent, Solanke, Origi, Gomez, Klavan, Flanagan, Robertson, Matip, Grujic, Mignolet, Karius, Ward

I read that Hoffenheim are 2/1 to win this. Preposterous.

[Jockey]

Well minus Andy Taylor, and a gang of yard dogs - I think we should win this. Easily good enough, we finished 4th because we are good, not on the promise of a strong transfer window. 

 

Admittedly I haven't factored in Lovren to this equation! If he can keep his random acts of spasticism to a minimum then gobs jobs a go un! 

[Ipplfc]

The shit pun fest is making its debut on foreign shores.

 

I'm not sure what our opponents are like with set pieces but regardless, we really need to start tightening up on that aspect. At the other end, the midfield need to do better to take control of the game early on and help us get the first leg platform we need.

 

Over to you.

They scored off more set pieces than any other team in the league last season

[cloggypop]

We have sophisticated synergistic probity so fuck you Hoffenhasselheim!

[Carvalho Diablo]

You know for a fuckin fact, we're gonna scrape through then draw Barca with Luis and Philly.

[Heinze]

I read that Hoffenheim are 2/1 to win this. Preposterous.

Hmmm

[chris71]

Looking forward to the return of Thursday / Sunday football and the cheaper flights and accommodation that come with it. Result!

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I just can't shake this feeling that it'll follow a similar script as Southampton in the league cup semi, narrow away defeat and hoping to turn up at home. They sound tailor made to cause us problems.

[VladimirIlyich]

We should be more match fit than them as they only had a cup game last week until their league starts this weekend. Our paper thin squad is already suffering an injury crisis due to a ridiculous pre season fixture list. If this wasn't a warning for us all then nothing will be.

[Jockey]

We are the same team that tore the arses our of Arsenal, Spurs, City and Chelsea last year. We don't need VVD to beat these.

[andyj]

4-0 win and we will forget all the shit from the last week ......i can dream 

[El Rojo]

Hopefully Bobby won't be too pissed to realise that he's playing for us now.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

We get through we through, we don't we don't deserve to, obvious but correct.

My thoughts on the owners have never been too positive, they got us for a steal and although not H&G merchants they are business men, very good at it. Merchandising and sponsorship is fantastic but their knowledge of the sport itself is negligible.

 

Crying out for a football man at the helm not a spread sheet Johnny or some game boy merchant.

They would have got that right who knows where we could be, they haven't and won't. They want yes men even if we suffer in transfer deals and negotiations.

 

Klopp is genuinely at a crossroads but shares the blame with his stubbornness and his seeming lack of knowledge of what he needs. Says he knows but does nothing about it. That preening gobshite at Celtic was as bad and was rightly slaughtered for it. Alright saying we as fans don't know how hard it is but lesser teams and managers can find solid defenders and keepers, know the need for midfielders to shield the defence etc etc. Why not us ?

 

I like Klopp but he needs to pull his finger out now. We all know what we needed and comfortably have the cash to achieve it.

 

Keeper - We need one, all the other top sides have a good one. Klopp says we're fine

 

CB - He obviously wants one but is stuck on VVD, maybe a promise who knows. Get one asap.

 

LB - Plays Milner as he doesn't rate Moron, buys Robertson. Has all three available and plays........Moron. What the absolute fuck.

 

DM - Doesn't want one. Keita is a great player, not a DM but would to be fair totally transform the midfield. Won't get him, move on.

 

Winger - Got him. Gold Star.

 

Striker - Apparently we're fine. Solanke again to be fair could become a great player.

 

Sorry for any negativity lads, genuinely. I love Klopp but like a lot of us I'm sick of this shit. We either put up, they sell up or it's mediocrity reigns. Don't go to anywhere near as many games now through a couple of health reasons and to be fair, don't really miss it.

[Russ Atmosphere]

4-0 win and we will forget all the shit from the last week ......i can dream 

 

I'd celebrate a clean sheet like Istanbul.

[Arl arse]

We are the same team that tore the arses our of Arsenal, Spurs, City and Chelsea last year. We don't need VVD to beat these.

So that's us well and truly jinxed then.

 

Cheers Jockey.
