    Pre Match Brighton (H) - Sun 14:00

    Robbo put will be a loss. Mentioned early that Brighton look hopeless at stopping crosses into the box. Gomez does not offer that from the left. Diaz also prefers to cut in. We'll need one of Diaz or Macallister to get wide and potentially look to receive passes on the underlap and cut it back...

    Multi-Club Ownership

    Comolli recruited Edwards and now Liverpool could be buying Comollis club at Edwards request. Interesting time line. The purchase would seemingly straightforward enough. I just would hope the French League provides enough of a platform for players to develop ready for the PL. I'm not sure if it...

    Pre Match Brighton (H) - Sun 14:00

    Team picks itself. Brighton are having a missed year and are significantly weaker than last season. I watched them getting dismantled by Roma. In that game they were absolutely hopeless, and bordering on disinterested, in stopping the ball getting into the box. It will give opportunities for...

    Thiago Alcantara

    I TBF, ten years ago Thiago was leaving Barca to join Pep Guardiola at a Bayern side that was shitting silverware. Coming to Liverpool to see Rodgers handing out envelopes and listen to Joe Allen bang on about his chicken farm was not at the top of Thiagos bucket list.

    Best FWs to wear a Liverpool Shirt

    We have been blessed with many of the finest attackers the English game has seen. In terms of pure talent then Suarez is way out in front (in my time at least). I'm always interested in how more experienced posters assess Suarez against Dalglish. Salah is the most consistently productive. I...

    Title Race

    Agreed. Part of it will not having the chance to celebrate it last time. It was a lacklustre payoff. I doubt the feeling will ever be as good as a major final, especially the CL. Nothing tops that from a fans perspective.

    Xabi Alonso

    I suspect nothing will be announced by Alonso until the end of the season or unless Levekusen win the title early. The endless commentary based on the square root of fuck all is already too boring for words.

    Thiago Alcantara

    Indifferent. Fee alone, the decision to sign Thiago was a relatively cheap punt that did not work out. There will be times in rhe future where we'll be reminiscing about the time established top class players wanted to come and play for Liverpool, and there was some logic in adding some flair...

    Where does Klopp rank against all time league greats? If at all.

    I'm not really arsed. I think ranking mangers from different periods is next to impossible. Neither Fergusson or Wenger had to compete against anything like the sustained quality of Manchester City. Even comparing Pep and Klopp is challenging enough and they're at the same time. Who knows where...

    Richard Hughes Confirmed

    The pace at which we have operated since the Klopp announcement has been reassuring. The back of house operations have been drifting for a while. Getting Edwards and now Hughes will hopefully be as impactful as an manager on our long term success. I never really see the point in trying to assess...

    Big game blues

    Gut feeling tells me they miss Henderson and Milner getting them riled up in the changing rooms. The problem is not just a big game issue. We start games too slowly and seem to gladly accept going a goal down. We've received loads of praise for scoring late and relying on subs, however there is...

    Gakpo

    Patience is wearing thin. Gakpo was a decent false nine for a period last season. This year he has been shunted around, but he's comfortably lost his pace to Nunez up front. Both Diaz and Jota are ahead of him at LW. He needs to ask himself why that's the case, or, save himself some time and...

    Pre Match Man Utd (a) FA Cup - Sunday 15:30

    Agreed. As for Grav it's probably because he tracks back with all the enthusiasm of a cow strolling to the slaughterhouse.

    Pre Match Man Utd (a) FA Cup - Sunday 15:30

    Can we leave Gakpo behind? Didn't United want him? Then can have the useless melt for a bus fare.

    Pre Match Man Utd (a) FA Cup - Sunday 15:30

    We ran out of legs and experience. It was going to happen at some point. It's just annoying it was at Old Trafford. We missed some scousers in the team. We were too lax, not aggressive enough, and we didn't keep the ball well enough to make up for a defensive lapses. They better wise up for...

    Pre Match Man Utd (a) FA Cup - Sunday 15:30

    At least Gakpo on hand to trott aimlessly around the pitch. It could be crucial.

    Sal-ittihad

    Everything that applied before his last contract still applies. If anything I would suggests there's even more grounds to extend yet again. He's demonstrating some amazing playmaking ability whilst keeping his numbers at the very top of the game. He's also going to want to stay around the...

    Who will become 1st team regular?

    Tough to call. I would not write off any of them and how their careers pan out will be interesting. I'd go for Danns and Bajcetic, although the later may need a loan to bring him back up to speed. Klopp seems to rate Clarke very highly, so I wouldn't bet against him either. There's some...

    Poll EL quarters - Who do you want?

    No idea, but they're 6th in Seria A. They're not one for drawing games (only 5 in 28). Seen some Atlanda fan's reactions suggesting they've got no hope whatsoever. The general reaction seems to be that everyone is resigned to Liverpool Vs Milan/Leverkusen final in Dublin.

    Let's Danns

    Makes sense on every level, but all the more when decent strikers have been in short supply and costing a fortune. Worst case scenario, if he does not cut it here then we should still be able to get a decent sum for him, boosting our flexibility within FFP.

    Fears for the run-in...

    It was Villa away but their home form has imploded and the potential fifth CL spot will ease some pressure. They may have near enough qualified by the time we play them. It has to be United now. Thdres always a danger of Everton kicking the shit out of us, too. An early goal in both games...

    Poll EL quarters - Who do you want?

    Marseille. Quick trip across the channel and 7th in the French League. West Ham have confidence in Europe and Kudos, Bowen and Paqueta are are better than anyone at Marseille.

    VvD : GOAT

    Hyypia remains my favourite, but VVD is comfortably the bst CB I've seen play for us. I'm not sure how Hansern compares, but it's hard to picture any CB being more complete. It takes something special to be a superstar footballer when playing CB, but that's what Virgil is. The general concensus...

    Call M. E. baby

    Way too many people on social media love rushing to conclusions in the absence of any real information. As has been said, there were likely plenty of professional disagreements behind the scenes over the 7-8 years they worked together, and many smaller incidents can add up to the idea that they...

    Other games - March 9 -11

    The more football Arsenal and City face the more prone they are to fatigue and injuries. Roll on some more extra time and pray for the joyous sounds of a twang of a hamstring and the pop of an ACL. Hopefully one of them draws Atletico next round, too. Simeone would rattle Arteta into a new...

    Call M. E. baby

    That red men TV video pointed out Portugal is a realistic destination for any feeder club. The country has bags of football talent that translate well into the PL. Equally important is there's a clear pathway for South American footballers to join. A quick look on transfer market indicates the...

    Liverpool, Wataru upto?

    Endo brings pleasing parallels with the Roberson signing; bargain, small club, low expectations, slow start and then bang! Top a class player making a huge impression on the first team and a key factor in delivering silverware. The only gripe is we didn't sign him sooner. Imagine having Endo...
