  1. This cunt has been woeful since the window closed, and really needs to get his finger out. Rapidly starting to hate him tbh.
  2. Yup. It was pretty obvious from his pre-match interview that we were going into this game shitting in our shorts. Disgraceful lack of character and leadership. Lovely guy but needs fucked off ASAP. Appoint someone with a personality before heading out to the sunshine and give him time to have a proper look at the squad. Won't happen obviously.
  3. So Juve made nearly 30m more than Barca despite not winning it? Also wtf is up with Monaco making that much?
  4. Tino ffs The very definition of legend.
  5. Nike with 'Just do it' is far more fitting tbh. Better off with UnderA. tbh
  6. Plays a half of football, does some dribbles, and he's suddenly Michael fucking Jordan. Seriously fuck off
  7. That's lame as fuck. Possibly even lamer than the celebration itself.
  8. In hindsight Lennon was probably right to cut that verse...
  9. Maybe. It's all ifs and buts (pun intended), and he might have fired us up the league after getting an injection of motivation to play for a new club etc... we can never really know. He was massively disappointing in that half though, and even though you can't judge a player based one on isolated half of football, it's just my gut feeling that we dodged a bullet in the context of it being January, and us desperately needing goals to stay up. Long term though aye, he's the kind of player we should be aiming to buy outright and not fuck about.
  10. Obviously not, but I mean he might not have had the explosive impact we needed to help us avoid the drop between now and May. If he had given us that performance on his home debut, I'd say for 20 odd million, most would have been massively underwhelmed. There's no doubting he's a very talented striker, but maybe things worked out in our favor not getting him in January.
  11. Thank fuck Jeremy Peace is one deluded prick and we "missed out" on Berahino. Imagine if we'd got him for a record fee only for him to turn out for us with a fat ass against his old side.
  12. A proper football outfit would have booted Harper out and kept the pair of them. Fair play to Forster for having ambition though. He's maturing into a very good PL GK.
  13. Probably Klopp's first YNWAJFT96. moment giving this joker a new contract of that length. He's a very average keeper who in his time at Liverpool has even regressed. It could well be that he's merely securing Mignolet as their sub keeper while he goes out and brings in a top class performer in the summer for the number 1 spot. Can see Forster going there if he carries on in this vein.
  14. Could quite possibly be moment of the season for us.
  15. This. 2 weeks in a row now my captain hasn't even completed the 90 minutes let alone get any proper points (Lukaku last GW, Yaya Toure this). Had Firmino as captain all week only to change it about 20 minutes before the cut-off
  16. Absolutely agree with this. Top, top football managers should be able to walk into a team like Liverpool and lift them up - especially this season fgs, Leicester (LEICESTER) are top of the league It might not be "Klopp's team" but they have a much better squad than Leicester and are absolutely underperforming. His team selections and tactics have been very questionable so far. It would take an absolutely terrible manager to crash and burn with Dortmund in the Bundesliga, as that league has very poor competition in it. The one thing Leicester have over Liverpool is balance. Liverpool's squad is bent out of shape and it has made it much more difficult for Klopp to identify his preferred 11. Leicester have the inferior squad on paper, but their first 11 has been virtually unchanged, and almost every one of their players (bar maybe Mahrez and Schmeichel) is performing a level or two above their station.
  17. Well why doesn't he do it more often then? No you're right. He clearly can't finish. Every single one of his career goals to date has been a total fluke. He's getting into the positions which is the most important thing - He just needs to get used to the pace of the league, which will come. His composure yesterday was 1st class. Yup. I think he will be a class centre forward. It's not his finishing technique that's the problem but it's usually his anticipation/decision making/body shape. He needs as many 90 minutes as possible and it will come with time. Some of his passing into dangerous areas also showed he's quite an intelligent footballer so those saying he could only ever be a 8-10 a season striker might be right, but if he can weigh in with an additional 8-10 assists from knockdowns and passes, then that'll do me tbh.
  18. Wish this daft twat was more consistent. If he'd been in this form more consistently or at least not so far from it we'd not be in so much trouble. Totally bossed the game and dovetailed very nicely with Shelvey.
  19. Well why doesn't he do it more often then? No you're right. He clearly can't finish. Every single one of his career goals to date has been a total fluke.
  20. Chancels are he will. OLD on a mo, he Con Go to London. wtf
