  1. All here (allegedly..) flixtor.to/watch/tv/4322410/cobra-kai Watched them all. Loved it. Was cheering for Johnny the whole time. Loved seeing Johnny's version of what happened using the original Karate Kid footage in with his viewpoint.
  2. I'd go back for Julian Brandt again. Just turned 22, fits profile across the front three and would improve massively under Klopp.
  3. I think it might be 2-3-2-3. Barca were moving that way towards the end of last season as were Bayern. "Il Metodo" was used by the Italians in the 1930's when they won 2 World Cups. I think Liverpool are also playing a derivative of this formation at the moment. van Dijk and another CB with high mobility as well as ball playing skills, two fullback / wing backs that have engines with a holding midfielder. Two centre midfielders who are box to box. One with speed and strength, the other with high endurance who can link up quickly with the front three on the counter as well as break up play high up the pitch. A front three who are fast, skilful, highly interchangeable and direct. Five up front, five at the back with two either joining attacks (wingbacks) or two joining defence (higher midfielders). Keita fits this mould. Rabiot would excel in it and we maybe sign a great ball playing centre back and a rapid forward to cover the front three and we are looking extremely strong.
  4. He was out of this world for Napoli between 1987-1989 in my opinion. I wished Liverpool weren't banned at that time because our 87/88 team against Napoli would have been some game. Digger v Maradona. Yes please.
  5. Pulled this out before a European semi final against Bayern.. Fucking magician. Great song too.
  6. He obviously wants out and I think Paris is his preferred destination.
  7. Normally when we have played Lukaku we have put someone in front of him to stop him getting front position. Today we didn't, got punished and then we are playing catch up. Not going down the ref conspiracy line but he was dire. Another element to overcome but gees he was poor. Letter to the law Rashford is getting booked into the crowd, Sanchez is getting booked for being inside the 10 on the free kick and Valencia is getting something for the kung fu kick which looked a lot like Mane's send off against City. Naivety maybe cost us. We let two soft goals in and from there against a shitcoat team trying to break down a well drilled 7-8 man defence is always going to be tough. Dust ourselves off, try and win all our remaining games and see where the cards fall. They still have to play City again so we still have time. Onwards and upwards. Into the breach again we go.
  8. I don't think any coloured male school teachers will be putting their hands up to be armed any time soon...
  9. Pep and his mate thinking there was a Peaky Blinder lookalike competition at half time.
  10. I wanted Aldo to stay, broke my heart watching him lash everything into the Kop that night. The Beardsley, Barnes, Aldridge triumverate with Houghton in the mix (could have been Laudrup!!) was something to watch. Wore that 87/88 tape out I watched it so many times.
  11. And Rush stopped playing for us in 96 mate so we replaced one predator (Rush) with another (Fowler). That is why I didn't include him in the list with the others. You could maybe argue we replaced Dalglish with Beardsley but that didn't last too long. That is what I was getting at.
  12. Ah cool mate no worries. I was being a bit of a smart arse which you picked up on (replacing a CM with a winger) which we have prior for. I think Mor, Coric and Brandt could play anywhere across the front five positions for me they have that much talent. That suits Klopp's heavy metal football of attack from all angles with interchanging players at pace. Keita also suits that style and has it all in the locker and potentially Grujic if he can kick on as his back up. If you look at our midfield stocks Can is probably off, Lallana has an injury cloud over him, Coutinho I think is gone in the summer, Henderson has heel issues, Jimmy Milner hasn't got too long left, Grujic needs more game time which he might get if Can leaves, Wijnaldum needs to step up and Oxlade-Chamberlain becomes the utility squad player. But yeh we are desperate for 2 CBs and a keeper. The Liverpool Way! Haha!
  13. Actually two wingers and an attacking midfielder. I said we would talk two of them up never said we would sign them. We may even monitor them aggressively. It is blatantly obvious we need Centre Backs and a keeper and have done for seasons now but we seem to be waiting for Soton to cave in on VVD. Another winger would be fine by me, good cover for Mane and Salah.
  14. Lose Emre Can we'll take Emre Mor and then talk up Ante Coric and Julian Brandt again.
  15. Escape from Camp 14 (Blaine Harden) is a book about a guy called Shin In Guen (changed his name to Shin Dong-hyuk once he got to South Korea). Some story and well worth the read if you want an insight into the animalistic cruelty of the Kim family.
  16. I would have added Rush above but I thought we did allright with Johnny Aldridge there. When Rushie came back we fucked that up royally if you ask me but Fowler was coming through then. Obviously added things like no Europe for a few years, Hillsborough, the beginning of Premier League era and not capitalising on the marketing side of things also played a part so players in isolation may seem a bit simplistic but the point remains
  17. The wheels have been falling off at Barca slowly but surely the last few seasons which remind me of the Liverpool team late 80's early 90's. Our own success was our biggest downfall. We couldn't replace the players and the managers that we had and the aura started to slip a little. Paisley, Fagan, Dalglish, Barnes, Whelan, Molby, Nicol, Hansen, Lawrenson and Grobelaar were all mainstays and important cogs in the wheel. We changed the Ferrari parts with Volkswagen spare parts expecting the same results and paid the price. Barca have been the same. Casillas, Puyol, Xavi, Alves, Sanchez, Abidal were all important players and now Iniesta, Messi, Busquets, Mascherano and Suarez are all getting on, Neymar has left, Pique isn't all that and they are now where we were 25 years ago. The aura has slipped and the appeal just isn't what it used to be. Neymar is a massive trouble maker and part of this new breed of player. Toxic influence who can't be trusted and you wouldn't want anywhere near your club. He will leave PSG when someone offers more money in a couple of years or if the Qatari government buy someone in a warmer climate. He isn't playing Ligue Un to test himself or for the challenge we all know that. When you play with fire you are going to get burnt. Barca have found this out the hard way.
  18. Sounds like measurements for a shit cocktail. Guaranteed to give you one major headache mixing that shit together.
  19. Al-Baghdadi just confirmed dead. Kim is cruising for a bruising too, sorry regime change.
  20. True. They'll be singing "We've won it five times, we've won it five times. Five times against you this century yeah we've won it five times..."
  21. I am hating the new interpretation of the "advantage" law... A few times the All Blacks had advantage for a pen and then went 4-5 phases downfield making 30-40 metres, kicked the ball which nearly resulted in tries twice that were then pulled back to the original infringement. Seemed like for 25-30 minutes there was a square up for the sending off. Vainikolo was gassed and should have been off earlier. Sin bin forced Gatland's hand to keep him off but as soon as the Lions settled down and kept possession the last 10 minutes or so was a lot better. In saying that about Vainikolo, the Barrett incident where he was tackled after kicking the ball was no different to Farrell being taken out either in the first half. The officials shit themselves after the send off. Taking Kaino off for a back was a massive decision for the Blacks and I think it cost them in the end. Next weeks test should be a belter
