Given the fact they have won everything in site what are you basing this on?

 

A hunch?

I've spoken to them.

I dont think that disputes my point. And they'd still take profit over trophies. Trophies and money are not mutually exclusive. But if given a choice to risk money or sporting reward, they won't risk money. 

You could be talking about literally every Premier League team owner except Jack Walker.

I don't agree with that at all. I think until recently, nearly all football clubs existed to win (or to be the best clubs they could be), profitability was never a consideration, only survival. I don't dispute many of the league's clubs are now owned by people whos financial interests are the reason they're here and sporting success is secondary. So if you're asking me do I think we are unique, we are absolutely not. Most big clubs in this country now are owned by people who barely know what the shape of the ball is.

Apparently, he is making good progress and might be back a bit earlier than expected. Would be great if we had him available for the game against United in the middle of January.

 

Play him in a front four like we did against City to scare the shite out of them.

[an tha]

Can he play centre half?

[TheHowieLama]

If a guy was a new signing can he be like a new signing?

James Pearce. He was supposed to be back mid February.

No getting around it, playing him against those bums in the most meaningless match of the season was a serious error. An unforced one in a tough year.

Absolutely. Even Klopp makes mistakes, and this was a very strange one. More or less everyone on here seemed to think both before and after that game that we needed to rest all first team players for that match.

It was the deadest of dead rubbers....nothing in it for anybody, apart from the win money.

 

In my opinion we should have fielded the kids.

And there's the reason why we played him and numerous others and will play a much weaker team in what should be a more important fa cup game. 

 

Money, its all that matters now.  Modern football truly sucks donkey dick.

I thought he was out for 6 weeks? He got injured in the last CL game didn't he? That was about 8/9 December... So I don't see why we shouldn't expect him back for the end of January?

6-8 weeks, I think it was estimated. I just took that mid February figure from an article, which said. 

 

"The worst-case scenario was set out to be a return for the clash with Leicester, currently scheduled for February 13, or the last-16 first leg at RB Leipzig on February 16."

Ok, so 6 weeks was best. I had in my head we were expecting him back at the 4th round of the cup if we were still in it.

We need to beat villa 1st! Although I think we'll have an okish team out for once, we're starting to get some players who need games. 

[TheHowieLama]

Where are we at with this fella?

[Rotpeter]

He's still wearing a brace and "at least a couple of weeks away", I think, Klopp said.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Yeah that's exactly what he said about it in his most recent press conference.
