“@JenChang88: Marko Marin hasn't yet reached the level some predicted for him 2 yrs ago but a great little player & at that €7-8M price, a bargain.”

You bet your bottom dollar then that Hazard ain't going there (Chelsea ) now .

Jeez it's a massive transfer window for LFC , especially after the mistakes made last time, and everyone else around us pushing on.:(

The ''ITK's'' missed that Marin deal completely

Yeah Rigger has been fairly substandard since the name change, on the plus side it shows his dedication to the Andy Carroll persona.

Yeah that has been all over the French media for a few days now. Both Manchester clubs are meant to have come in to try and get him this summer.

Will not be a happy camper if he lines up against us next season*






*unless of course Kenny is going to surprise me by getting Welliton, Belhanda, Hoilett and Sissoko this summer.:D

If City are in for him it won't make any difference...with the exception of maybe Guardiola taking over I can't see him going there, but I think Pep has too much class and too little ego to end up there.

Everton winning 2-0 - Would hate for us to finish behind them in the league this year!!

Suppose at least there long period of not winning a cup will continue thanks to us!

Jelavic has been such a cracking signing for them. I remember quite a few deriding the notion of us signing him when we were linked in January.

On the topic of Everton.

Jelavic looks like a great buy for them.

I laughed when we were linked to him last year. Thought he was not PL standard. Looks like I was wrong. Could have done with a guy like him, who knows where the back of the net is.

not too bothered if we finish 7th or 8th or 9th or 10th, outside of 4th and you're nothing - for them it will be everything to finish above us - shows how small-time they are, they'll probably release a dvd (dvd probably won't include 2 derby league defeats and FA cup semi-final defeat)

everton are not our rivals - once 4th was gone and we had cup finals on our minds, rightly or wrongly performance level drops, let them have their smalltime smallminded bragging rights while we concentrate on winning trophies and returning to the CL, that's how we measure ourselves - not if we finish 7th or 8th, that's the difference between the clubs

Sounds exactly like what we are missing this year!

Ganymede Glow

If City get Hazard we have to go after Adam Johnson. I said a couple of months ago the three players we should go get were Ramirez, Johnson and one of Huntelaar/Cardozo.

Andy Carroll knew where the back of the new was for 6 moths too though and look how that turned out.

He's is another potential reason in a long list that may have led to Comolli getting the boot. Before his goals today twitter had a stat that out of the 44 goals for Rangers and Everton combined, 41 have been scored with just one touch!

He has been great for them. Pretty sure that I did not want him at Liverpool last January and instead wanted to see us sign a more established finisher.

Did not realise that his transfer fee was only between £4m and £5m. For some reason I thought there was a bigger number being looked for in January.

Today is his 14th game for Everton and with 45minutes of the game still to go he is on 12 goals from those games.

Will be interesting to see if he can continue to get goals on a regular basis next season though, but this season he has been worth every penny they spent on him.

ASOT

I got slated to bits for saying he would be a good signing. Hes the only rangers player i liked. I know its only early days yet but i can tell hes gonna be the same next season!

Leiva

Anyone else fearing a silly red card today to a key player for next weeks final ?

Wouldn't be too upset if Pepe got a red so Doni could play in the final, but he probably wouldn't last the 90 minutes.

I remember at the time not being very enthused with the link but didn't know enough to voice an opinion. I had never seen him play. I was just surprised at the strong anti feeling towards him as it takes a special kind of person to suffer through enough Scottish football these days to have formed an opinion on him.

You're right on the price. I remember the fees being quoted when he was linked with us being much higher.

Edit - Wow 4-4 in Swansea - Wolves game I am watching!!!!!!

Have to be honest and say that I based my opinion on him on very few viewings as I really don't like Scottish football. He just struck me as a player who was at the highest level he would reach when he was in Scotland.


Am watching the same game as ya. Proper goalfest isn't it?

Gerty

Aside from Carragher starting ahead of Coates....

Having Coates, Martin Kelly and Skrtel on the bench is pointless and bad management. Anyway, g'wan the lads.

Biggest games of every season, for me, are against Everton, and it has been that way since I was old enough to follow footy. I know that for many Liverpool supporters who grew up in other countries that games against Man Utd may seem like the big rivalry, but beating Everton has that little bit of extra sweetness about it for anyone local.

I love beating Man U, but beating Everton is even better.

Beating Norwich today would be pretty sweet as well though.

Wasn't £9M or around that the fee being touted around the papers for Jelavic when he was linked with us?

I had something like 10m or 12m in my head, so you could be right.

Silva picked up an assist today in a 1-1 draw for Northampton today.

I'm confidant we would have made him gash.

We get a special price nowadays thanks to negotiating skills.

Morzadec

Seeing us linked with Gaston Ramirez and Sigurdsonn, do you think it's possible that we won't be in for a CF this summer and are looking for someone to play behind Suarez, with Carroll as back up/plan B?

Suarez's finishing has been sublime today, and he's shown that with space he can finish...usually he is crowded out and has to try to do it all himself.

Still I have doubts about Suarez's consistency in front of goal and would prefer a natural CF over an AM. Or both!

I knew Andy Carroll was Rigger, but out of interest was Leiva a different poster before?

mike65

Levia is Suarez who was Torres (I think!) I'm dead set against name changing.

Edit I'm wrong.....

G.K.

Leiva was Mixednuts?

ollie1

So unlucky by Shelvey

Gbear

Well. That'll do nicely.

No doubt there'll be people chiming in "but Norwich were ****!".

Yeah but **** teams are often ****. That's why we call them **** teams.

They're **** against other teams aswell. We've just lacked the ruthlessness to bury them.
4 shots - 3 on target - 3 goals for Suarez today is a bit more like it.

Zapp Brannigan

Peach from Suarez for his third. When I saw him break I was shouting at the screen "Why the f*ck are you slowing down, sprint it's a one on one!" Then he chipped it and I kept screaming until I saw it hit the net!

klose

Brilliant stuff, could've won by more by a suarez hat trick will certainly do, fulham got a drumming today so hopefully we can pick up another win then and tis set up lovely for the fa cup final

If ever there was an appropriate time for that Randy ectoplasm pic its now - what a fantastic hat trick from Suarez! If he had missed that 3rd goal Bellamy would have gone cracked as he was in acres of space.
