If him staying means we don't buy another attacker, I would seriously question it. He's not good enough, but he's played a massive part in our success this season, so it's a rather strange situation really. Ruthlessness needed for me, and it all depends on how Klopp sees the opportunity. Fully trust the manager obviously.

Midfield not being good enough, us not getting a CB when the VVD bid was rejected, not to mention how mental 75mil was for a centre half, the impact of the Brain leaving, Firmino not being good enough, the Robertson buy being another sign of our fall from grace as a club, Oxlade a poor choice for midfield, the effect of the Coutinho sale, Klopp not able to manage games, not enough nous in the team, and us being too nice to win.

Riiiiiiiiiiiight.

Been around where? I never heard of him until we signed him.

Kiev cost me 2 grand last year so I gambled after Bayern and booked a hotel and flight that cost me less than £300 I made the last 3 and the highlights were always being with the fans and me mates before the game. Even Istanbul, simply because I was too mentally, emotionally and physically drained to enjoy the aftermath. I just wanted a bath and a bed after that. These occasions are rarely about the game. In fact UEFA have practically ensured that. So to summarise, I'm going to Madrid, and in the off-chance a ticket turns up, I've got a spare bed in my hotel room to exchange.

Name it.

They've qualified for the CL.

Salah was trying to beat the record for most goals in the first 100 games for Liverpool, and did with his 2. The first equalled Roger Hunt, the second overtook him.

I reckon this cunt's getting sacked before the end of the season.

The French Carlton Palmer.

Hahaha. You don't wanna know..

I thought Kewell and Carroll were going to be class, and I thought Torres was going to be wank. I also thought Suarez would never get us more than 15 goals a season.

Put a decent manager in there and they'll challenge for top 7, I reckon.

I think there are several factors to why we'd take a punt: - budget constraints (mainly on long contracts) - the English quota - longer-term targets currently unavailable - longer-term injuries - high-salary players out on loan - inability to sell players at 'market value' With the last two points, we knew it would be tough to sell both Origi and Sturridge, who are both on hefty salaries. There's no way our model allows for another top signing up front with those two still on the books. Hence, why I see Barry's point, although I'm not sure it's as black and white as that for the reasons I outlined above. For example, Shaqiri is another 'punt'. One that happens to be working out nicely for the time being, and won't be a huge problem if it fizzles out.

Isn't that the hope on most transfers?

He came on when we were chasing games or winning comfortably to give the front 3 a rest. Who do you think he was ahead from those available in the squad?

Well?? Did he get one?

Sauce?

That was Bournemouth, wasn't it?

Haven't read this thread, and I'm not particularly interested in going over old ground while things are progressing so well now. FSG have learned and have improved their stewardip under the guidance and influence of Klopp. That's as clear as day to me. Anything they did pre-Klopp that anyone claims was part of the "project" plan on the football side, is quite frankly deluded. In fact, I'd go as far as to predict that if they had Klopp in earlier, they'd have made the same mistakes and Klopp would have suffered. Timing is everything in life.

Solanke was given the same chances Gerrard, Fowler, Carragher, Sterling, Origi, Ibe, Woodburn Trent and Gomez were. Some work out, some don't.

He's really stepped it up in this new role, which takes away any pressure on him to add to the attacking side. In fact he's been nothing short of fantastic, particularly with Fabinho in a 2. The competition has probably helped and he's clearly matured. He's really good in the #6 too, with a 433. Remember, he was only back in the team when we had everyone else out injured last season. As a wider midfielder, he's still average, and I'm delighted we don't need him there much nowadays.

If City claw back the 7 points, they'll end up with a better goal difference than us, with a minimum swing of 5. Agree with all the rest :)

Richard Gough and David Weir are both in graves?!??

Worst corners ever. His crossing was decent, as per the minimum we expect. Everything else was ace. Big up Andy Robertson.
