Controversial to many on here but I think they've been good owners. Some real shady cunts tried to buy us from Tom & Jerry.   FSG came in, stabilised us, kept us at Anfield and redevelop

Based on replies to my tweet about this, the defence seems to be that because the club pays tax they're entitled to do this. Another argument is that there are wealthier businesses doing the same and

Same old cuck banging the FSG drum. Shame the French coppers didn’t give him a good kicking.

What team do you think klopp will put out? Honestly with covid within the squad, I wouldn't be shocked to see him pick an XI from a different group of players and put out a team like we did at Villa 2 years ago. 

There are people on the match thread talking about putting out a Villa 2019 squad as if that's what we should do. Maybe, in a way, that's true: in 2019 we picked the strongest team we could from the players available. That's what we should do against Leicester.

 

I expect Klopp to do what he always does: pick the team from the available players that will give us the best chance of winning this game and the next one.

I think we should be trying to win all the cups. But I have learnt to accept the domestic cups are not a priority for our owners and by default, that makes them not important to klopp. He knows he's tasked to deliver in the PL and CL and will be judged on that. 

 

As for what team we pick, I would normally expect us to give it a decent go in a quarter final and would be disappointed if we didn't, but with the covid issue and the uncertainty it brings, I wouldn't be shocked or upset if it was a 2019 style team, if for no other reason than the risk it brings from mixing the groups. If we were to bring in half a dozen kids from the u18/23 side and one of them brought more covid in, it would be really bad for our league chances. I'd be fine if we just sent a U23 team and manager if klopp thought it the most prudent thing to do.

Domestic cups aren't a priority for anybody these days. Maybe League One sides.

And their priority is simply a tie against a big club and a hefty share of the receipts. While this has always been the case those lower tier clubs used to have other revenue streams in the past,but those ridiculous transfer windows have put paid to that too. It really is a corrupt business nowadays.

I wonder how much Klopp will have to strengthen the squad with next month. Can't wait to see who we sign.

Mate we all know that their are no players that offer good value for money in january. Not even any that are free in 6 months time. 

No value at all.

Bit I've bought myself a yellow  jim white transfer deadline day tie ready for all the fun to start.

 

So no value in January and seemingly no value on the summer either.

 

Shame as we have a great manager who has essentially Been forced to beg for scraps.

We need a goalscoring midfielder in this team, once or twice during the season we will  have games when the front three just cant score. 
 

 

The perseverance with Keita and Chamberlain baffles me, my heart sinks whenever I see them on the teamsheet, they're about as useful as the pope's balls.

Near £90mill on those two not to mention another £20m on Thiago and he can’t even stay fit.

The weird thing with Chamberlain is he seems to do his best the less quality that is around him in our team. Is that just because it's easy to shine next to Morton or someone? Or does taking some responsibility actually improve his play? Like you though, my heart sinks when I see either of them in the line up. And sadly Milner is really starting to look slow and old now. Maybe he needs more minutes to get up to speed, but he's looking way, way off the pace.

I think he's just a very average player. I don't even know what he does except for take the occasional long range punt.

 

We built our sides around players like this Pre-Klopp, as in players who'd show 'flashes' then vanish for the rest of the match or indeed, season, that's why we never won anything. 

 

You need consistency and reliability to build a decent side, and they're qualities Chamberlain and Keita definitely do not have.
