Innova

Nope, FA Cup runner ups go into the qualifiers if the winner has qualified for the CL.

Oh well, that was an obvious farewell gift by Stoke. The defender fucking stopped and let him through.

I would say today's result would be the final nail in the coffin. It was bad recently, but we've at least crawled into the Europa League spots. Losing 5-0 to stoke by half time is just a sackable offense by itself, no matter which generation we are in.

Not as shite as 80% of our squad. Add in the fact that there's no fucking strikers for him to pass to.

I'll be happy if Coutinho stays next season. He sure doesn't look pleased.

Certainly no opportunities to even fight for now.

Must be hard for any striker to want to come to Liverpool.

I'll keep the current crop of players. I believe if we get Klopp he'll be able to make something out of them.

Alright, I'll keep Balotelli over Rodgers now.

Are we fighting to see who doesn't get into the europa league?

The whole transfer agent business is really shady imo. I don't believe that the famous agents like Mendes and Raiola do not contact each other for the potential transfers that might happen to their clients. It's not really that hard to rig a transfer or snag a better deal for their client when you're in a position of theirs isn't it?

The thing about City is that they tend to rush into a bidding game whenever anyone is hot. It's really PSG and City who like you said, pulls off such antics. Besides, the homegrown factor along with the news that FFP rules are about to be loosened would only add fuel to the fire. I imagine that City is in a better financial position than last season's summer window.

We can't get as much as we can now if we let him rot for a season or two. He's riding some false momentum now and if clubs like City wish to try their luck for £40-50m or so... Why not? I'll gladly take Dzeko+Milner+Jovetic and maybe a £10m offer. EDIT: What? That would be a steal for us.

Well it really does boil down to a slice of luck doesn't it? Besides, the club was in a much healthier position transfer wise after Rafa took over for a season or two, so he had far better chances at signing quality players. We have to go through the trouble now of either picking up players who have behavioral problems, or are hidden gems like Coutinho. Life's pretty tough really.

I don't think the management could have imagined this to happen. I'm glad that he didn't sign the £100k/wk contract because the whole saga would probably restart itself next season.

Finally some balls from the management this season. It's nice to see the management make a stand that absolutely no one has the chance to hold us at ransom. Not satisfied with the wages? Fuck off. I rate Lallana over Sterling. He obviously doesn't have the raw pace, but in other areas, I see many of our players being much better than Sterling. As Thompsons said... Get Germans. Germans or Spaniards like Pedro and we'll be better off from where we started.

I would gladly sell Raheem for £50m. We have Ibe who I do rate higher than Sterling. Also, why the fuck does he think he deserves more than £100k/week? I'm sorry but his performances have been shit for the last 7-8 games or so. He was only an excellent player when it coincided with our winning streak. Good but would I choose £50m over him? Definitely. Sanchez, Di Maria, Ozil, Suarez, Costa, Fabregas etc all cost less than £50m and these are the players who have significantly more experience than Sterling and who have played at a far higher level than Sterling has for the past 5 years. Please don't say Sterling is a revelation, he really isn't. He's just a pacy 20 year old player who has managed to outperform his team mates this season. How many English players have there been within the last 10 years who showed the same amount of talent like Sterling, but have failed now? Within our own team? I'll take Coutinho any day over Sterling if we could only keep one. If anyone's gonna whine that FSG should have paid him what he wanted, then it's pretty foolish as it would only create a toxic culture where each player would be able to earn more than he's worth. Besides, if he does play well for next season? Would he be asking for £200k/wk? Bottom line: He's no Suarez and he can fuck off if we get the right price for him.

That's a poor question considering that we've been asking about almost 3-4/11 selections which the manager has made. It's a throwaway game and obviously Rodgers wants to give him as much game time as possible before he leaves because he's goddamn Stevie G.

Fuck what I just said 3 mins earlier. Get in Stevie!

I can't help but feel sorry for Stevie. He's trying but he's at a point where physical wise he's not up to it.

Plastic fans more plastic than Kim K's butt.

Oh fuck off that was as onsite as it could be fuck off

Johnson has a knack for showing up at games like this.

Those 2 sliding tackles certainly gave up some energy. And we need it.

Spurs and Soton only need a draw to climb above us.
