    I think it's fantastic that Sven wanted his football swansong at Anfield.

    As soon as he mentioned it being his dream was to have managed Liverpool, the fans were always going to make it happen along with the club. The wonderful side of football. 

     

    Obviously that even though he never got to manage us that Liverpool is still his club.

    It frustrates the life out of me when teams do this all the time and we do not. Usually we also end up short-strawed with our players getting loads of minutes.

     

    I couldn't care less for international football but there should be something in place to prevent this kind of thing,  Haaland is basically the Norwegian Giggs when it comes to internationals.

     

     

     

     

    International football has lost it's mystique. Most of the best players play in England now so it doesn't have that effect it once did. 

     

    Part of me would like to do away with it completely but at the very least there shouldn't be such a thing as international friendlies.

    If you go back through their thread they’ve been talking him down for a long, long time. So maybe not reactionary. 

     

    Although it's not certain, maybe he will have less sway at Liverpool than he did at Bournemouth. Also we've got such a good backroom team of transfer that he'd have to be total shit to mess things up. 

     

    As someone previously said, from what has been written about him, he's more of a negotiator. Fingers crossed.

    Michael Beale binned off from Sunderland. 

     

    The Rangers power couple of Gerrard and Beale isn't faring too well away from the SPL.

     

    One of his players tried to shake his hand after he was subbed and the manager just completely blanked him. Some of these manager's haven't got a fucking clue when it comes to man management. It's great having a tactical mind etc but you need to keep your players and fans onside. 

  5. I was reading an article about Ruben Amorim & he sounds really impressive. When he was at Braga, Sporting paid £8m compo to get him in even though he was very inexperienced so he must be highly thought of in the game. 

     

    I'd love Xabi to be our manager but Amorim could be a good option.

  6. Xabi seems the obvious one and there's slim pickings elsewhere. De Zerbi is a good coach but there's just something about him that makes me think he's not right, just a feeling.

     

    Amorim positive reviews but can't pretend I've seen much of Sporting and never even seen him interviewed. 

     

    Ancelotti(not going to happen)would probably be a good bet for two seasons until someone takes over.

    This is fucking shit. 

     

    I dont care but announcing this now is a fucking shambles. Announce it when we fucking win the fucking lot. Not now. 

     

    I dont care if a journo found out- It shouldnt have even come out of Klopps mouth until then. fuck fuck fuck. 

     

    actually devastated 

    It's hard to know if it's good to know now or at the end of the season. Pros and cons. I'd prefer to know as we can make the absolute best of him and also the fans &, players can use it to help us in the last few months of the season.

    Quickly moved on from the suggestion that England 1966 might have been his dream job.

    Bit of a strange suggestion that he might have wanted to manage the 66 England team considering Sven didn't start managing until the late 70s. Also it's pretty well known that Sven is a red. These tv presenters haven't got a clue.

    This. 
     

    From the players I reckon Van Dijk is the most difficult to replace. 

     

    I'd add Alisson to that short list. Genuinely don't think we will be able to get a keeper close to his level.

    Our attack has been abysmal the last few weeks. We butchered so many chances to create the chance and trent just had to fucking score. 4 points fucked away in a week at home. No real disgrace today but we should've won both.

    We desperately need mac robbo and jota back.

    We're just plugging gaps with our better players and manager at the moment.

    We're still in it, but draws are starting to fucking kill us.

    Biggest winners are City. Laughing their arses off they are.

    Our last 3 games against these cunts we conceded in the first 2 mins. That needs to stop, and yet again, we concede first. It's still happening too often.

    Huge chance missed.

    Agree. Man City have gone away, become world champions & will be confident of catching us fairly quickly. It's been said before that we are ahead or where we should be etc but I don't totally buy into that. You cant plan to win the league in 2 seasons time, you have to grab the opportunity when it arises & this season with City not being themselves in the league is an opportunity we can't turn down. Next season they could be back to their best & we won't have a chance. Got to stop these draws.

    I'm of an age where I remember clem, but I was a kid watching him. He seemed almost impossible to score.against. Ali is at those levels. I don't think it's easy/possible to compare players 40/50 years apart. He's an incredible goalkeeper and it seems strange how he's not recognised outside our fan base to be as great as he is. It makes you question if he's not quite as great as we all think he is. 

    I think we are living in an age in which fans find it almost impossible to recognise that players of clubs they dislike are good. I see it all the time on Twitter. Salah isnt a patch on Hazard. Van Dijk was only quality for 18 months. Strikers AND centre backs are shit these day etc. So many bad takes. 

     

    When it comes to pundits, the media and governing bodies not recognising him, I think it may come down to our relative lack of success, certainly compared to Man City. If we had won one more title and a European Cup then I think it would open people's eyes to how good he is. 

  12. It's the 12th May 1996, a day after Liverpool's defeat to Man U in the F.A Cup Final, you've travelled back in time with all the football knowledge you have gained since then. Somehow you have got a job as Liverpool's Football Director and have convinced David Moores to spend £15m on players. Which players do you and Roy sign? 

     

    After looking at who we did sign we actually only spend significant money on Paddy Berger. Terrible transfer window. No wonder we struggled to compete.

    Salah with 8 goals already in the league this season, I decided to take a look at how quick he has reached that tally in his other seasons with us.

     

    Last season he did not get there before in the middle of February and only in the 21/22 season did he reach 8 goals before the beginning of November. 


    23/24: Scored his eight PL goal on the 29th of October

    22/23: Scored his eight PL goal on the 13th of February

    21/22: Scored his eight PL goal on the 24th of October

    20/21: Scored his eight PL goal on the 8th of November

    19/20: Scored his eight PL goal on the 14th of December

    18/19: Scored his eight PL goal on the 8th of December

    17/18: Scored his eight PL goal on the 18th of November


     

    It still feels like he's underrated doesn't it? He's been so good for so long that certainly outside of the club, his achievements don't get the recognition they deserve. 

     

    Scores tons of goals and is always available. Probably only be when he's retired when people will look back on his numbers and realise how good he was.

    I've never really bought in to that argument.

     

    You could argue that somebody like James Milner was absolutely ran in to the ground but he's still going 20 years later.

     

    Some sports stars just aren't physically cut out to last. I actually think with Owen if we'd used him sparingly, we'd have missed his best years.

     

    Another thing that people never really think about is that in many ways he left us at the right time because he was never going to be suited to the way that Rafa Benitez wanted to play. 

    I used to think it was a bad idea playing youngsters too much too soon but from what I've read the evidence doesn't back it up. Some players have their peak in early on and some later. We definitely got the very best out of Owen and like you say, if we hadn't have played him that much we would probably have missed out.
