Liverpool FC Official Thread

You should write out a manuscript of what you're going to say.

Benitez, Klopp or Rodgers?

I say give keep Rodgers on. He won't have to deal with this Gerrard issue next season.

Would love Klopp though.

edit: I'll take Klopp.

Benitez is by far the best manager out of those three.

I'd like Klopp but I don't think he'd want to manage Liverpool. Hell, Benitez would be great just so we wouldn't be the worst team in European competition anymore.

Liverpool are now paying Jordan Henderson £100,000 a week

Jimmy Milner to come in on similar figures.  I remember doubting RR when he said that we hadn't learned from Kenneth's mistakes, sorry about that.

I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed.

Gerrard the savior.

Does Man United losing their last 3 games make Liverpool's form hurt more or less?

Yes, although our form has probably taken the pressure off of them as well.

Replace Toure with Ilori and replace Lovren with a new CB who's capable of competing with Sakho for a first team spot.  

Origi will be the Lambert/Borini replacement.

Manquillo or Flanagan can replace Johnson, if not, then buy a better RB.

Ibe will be like a new signing. Same goes for Enrique.

Keep hold of Balotelli for one more season, at least.

Ideally purchase a better GK, but Mignolet has been pretty special in 2015, to be fair to him. 

Definitely keep hold of Markovic. Still think he's going to end up being a great signing.

Buy a new CM, like Pjanic 

ST: Sturridge, Balotelli, Origi
AM: Sterling, Ibe, Coutinho, Markovic, Lallana
CM: Henderson, Pjanic, Can, Lucas, Allen
LB: Moreno, Enrique
RB: Manquillo, Flanagan
CB: Skrtel, Sakho, Ilori, New CB
GK: Mignolet, New GK

Sterling - Sturridge - Ibe

Coutinho - Henderson

Pjanic/Can

Moreno - Sakho - Skrtel - Manquillo

Mignolet

Bench: New GK, New CB, New RB, Can/Lucas/Allen, Markovic, Lallana, Balotelli, Origi

Don't fucking bring in loads of new players, it never works and by the time the team "clicks" it's too late. We didn't get going until January this season, and look where we are in the League. Spurs did the same after selling Bale.

We have a pretty good base. We just need to finish off the jigsaw puzzle with some actual good players. No more bloody "prospects". 

Rodgers will still sign a bunch of average players, he doesn't have the pulling power to sign top quality players And without Champions League football it's going to be even harder for him.

But I agree, 2 marquee signings to fill the holes and you have a very good squad.

We definitely need a new striker as well.  Sturridge might never play again, Origi is rubbish, and Balotelli will probably leave after a really respectable season.

Agreed, he'll sign mediocrity and we'll probably sell Sterling.

Want Rodgers to gtfo now. Throw an insane amount of money at Klopp. At least he'll have better pulling power with regards to potential transfers.

Now Sterling has come out and said he's not signing a new contract and has felt unprotected by the Club from negative headlines. We're a joke. 

Fuck off, Rodgers. 

We've said our position remains unchanged and he's not for sale, but he'll probably still go.

Sterling is going to lead us to the title.

I can imagine Arsene Wenger sat at home right now with Sky Sports News on flipping a £1 coin with a weird smile on his face.

Think things are about to get very ugly for Rodgers. Apparently Sterling has hinted at staying if Rodgers went, and apparently other players have fallen out with Rodgers too. 

Please be true.

Wenger right now

That really wouldn't surprise me, the guy's an egotistical charlatan.

"The best players want to play in the best competition," said Rodgers.
"Any club will suffer the same when they're not in there. It will hurt you, but they will know that."

Incredible to think that us signing Remy could have been the difference between us finishing 4th and 5th. "Failed" his medical here, then went to Chelsea and did brilliantly whenever called upon. Imagine if he was starting up front for us. 

Still think Balotelli's season would have gone much better had Rodgers not constantly taken him out of the team after a good game, or hung him out to dry in the press. I know Rodgers > me, but I'd be starting him in every game he's available for. But no, we put a 20 year old AM up front, instead, which not only meant we were sacrificing ability up front, but also sacrificing ability in the AM position.

I'm also pretty pissed at how he's handled Markovic as well. Constantly playing him at RWB. That's not his fucking position. I'd be playing him a lot more than Rodgers has done, too. Instead of fucking Lallana. Give Balotelli and Markovic a run of games, instead of chopping and changing, then I feel they'd start performing once an understanding has been built among the front 4 or 5 players. 

Manquillo's lack of game time has also been baffling. He was doing well, then all of a sudden, he couldn't get near the team. I'd argue he was more solid than Moreno, yet Moreno played a lot more. 






Actually. In fact, I think if we had not started Gerrard as much as we did, then we'd have wrapped up 4th by now. Our win/game percentage without him is so much higher than it is with him, yet we persist to play him because of his legendary status. Fuck off.

Some good news for Liverpool, Origi has made the team of the season in France

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/may/25/divock-origi-liverpool-lille-ligue-1-team-of-season?

He'd have been our highest scoring striker if he had replicated that form for us this season.   He's going to be an atrocious signing, just like every single player we buy.

I honestly think Mignolet has been the worst 'regular' keeper in the league this season and one of the main reason's you've done so badly. Should look for a more reliable keeper.

lol

New contract for Toure.

Wisdom and Flanagan secured as well, I am really excited by this project.
