ponsaelius Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'd like to point out that if it was Hodgson who had spent £75 million on those 3 players he'd have been hung on the Shankly Gates by his testicles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it even better when it'll all fall apart at somepoint next season. KD is following the same formula he did at NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 £75 million on Andy Carroll, Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing. Unbelievable. That is scary like, adding in Adam doesn't help either. Although I would have expected more people to back Liverpool's policy, based on the fact we're judging our own transfers on how much money we've spent. That's an incredibly lazy argument for a number of reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's pray Dalglish gets found out. No matter how much they may 'love' him, I can't see them being patient if he fucks up this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Think Liverpool will do significantly better this season than most on here are anticipating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I think they'll probably do really well, but that will mainly be because of Carroll and Suarez and not because they've overpaid for average midfielders. If I didn't know any of the fees I would have to say they're all decent signings though, TBF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Think Liverpool will do significantly better this season than most on here are anticipating. They'll finish where they did last season IMO, which after the £££ they've spent will be a disaster for their board who are banking on some immediate success.

ponsaelius Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Think Liverpool will do significantly better this season than most on here are anticipating. They'll finish 5th. The point I was making with the Hodgson comment was more to show what a bunch of hypocritical, blinded tosspots their fans are. Also the myth that Liverpool fans are these uniquely patient superfans, when infact they're even more demanding and impatient then everybody else in the league and just happen to have been totally spoiled. Hodgson was doomed the moment he took over and they decided they didn't like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 They seem to be over-paying for their players, and that can't go on forever. Underlying it all is the problem with their stadium. It looks like they can't afford to either upgrade Anfield or build a new one. Unless they're prepared to build a shared ground with Everton, they're stuck financially.

RupertCommunicator Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Their midfield really is average considering that they've spent the GDP of Wales on transfers... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Think Liverpool will do significantly better this season than most on here are anticipating. They might finish ahead of Spurs depending on how Spurs replace Modric and which strikers they buy. Other than that, I can't see them finishing higher than 5th.

jdckelly Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I think they will finish 4th. Ahead of Arsenal don't think so, think they'll make a few good signings before the window closes and keep Nasri at least for the season, they're better off selling Fabregas and just stopping the shit from being in the papers every fucking day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Feels like a major part of how they play will rely on giving the ball to Downing to aim for Carroll. They could have spent £55m so much better to compliment the likes of Suarez, Gerrard, Kuyt... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PhilB Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Pre-season games don't do a great deal for me, even in our heyday pre-seasons weren't the greatest. It was all about fitness and seeing how well, or not, the new players might fit in. Thought the match was a bit scrappy, but a few good individual performances from the likes of our two loan returnees, Aquillani and Insua. Aqua played very well at the end of 09/10 season and most Liverpool fans were annoyed that Hodgson sent him on loan last summer, but he had a great season at Juve and hopefully he'll want to stay and we'll want to keep him. It was only against Malaysia so no getting too excited about certain players, but I'm far more optimistic than I was this time last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest schmuck Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Aquilani is a funny one, there seems to be a consensus from most of the country that he's been 'another foreign flop who can't cope with the Premier League', yet whenever I saw him for Liverpool he's been very good, and on a couple of occasions really excellent, lovely touch, awareness, vision, passing, movement - certainly a cut above any of the other midfielders Liverpool have bought this summer, even Downing who personally I like. The only blots on his copy book (and admittedly the first is a big one) are his injury record, and the fact that he wasn't Hodgson's kind of player which, well, isn't necessarily a damning indictment. KD does seems to be going British in a big way though, if Meireles and Maxi who both performed for well for Dalglish, are getting squeezed out, then I think Aquilani may have the same fate. I hope not though, would love to see him stay and play in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
