Liverpool Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014 - Mod Note in OP 28/8

Gbear

F, A , D and E are all pretty horrendous.

Pretty happy with ours.

Nothing like a foregone conclusion though. Basel had some excellent results over the past few years, Ludogrets are a complete unknown and Real will be odds on to spank us home and away.
Getting out of it will be tough but a lot less tough than it could've been.

Swanson asking ayre about mario ffs messi wouldn't get this coverage.

Ayre says they are pretty much done with incomings in the market.

They are definitely buying a new player then if we go by the comments before the Balotelli Transfer

Beautiful city, was fortunate to visit there last October.



I took this from a boat going across the river.

Very nice.

One top team, one good team and one very beatable team. We should be qualifying from a group AS WINNERS like that truth be told.

:pac:

fixed that for you

A nice draw for us indeed but I wouldn't be taking Basel lightly, can't wait!

Not sure if this would be better asked in the Tickets/Travel thread but will throw it up here first.

So I have never been to a European game home or away. What exactly is the process on how they release these tickets?

My 45 euro membership this year got me a grand total of 4 hours queuing on the LFC website and 0 tickets so in that regard its pretty worthless.

Have I any chance or what would be the best recommendation?

I know it was done this morning, but why? Sentimental reasons?

I guess some people just have in the back of their minds that Fernando's underwhelming Chelsea career is down to other factors not related to any detoriation in his own ability.

I'd take him back in the right circumstances as I think he could still some sort of job if we were stuck, but I'd be under no illusions; the Torres of 07-11 is dead and gone.

You have no chance officially from the club you needed to have all 3 Europa league tickets from last time in the EL to enter the auto cup scheme which is a change from seasons past. I guess the club want to be guaranteed the money from the group stages. Keep an eye on done deal you might be lucky but I would expect you to pay over face value for the tickets.

"Ludogorets" gives us a chance to get a "good result" to start with.

Reverse fixture is 4 days before we play Chelsea.

Reverse Basle game is 4 days before we play Utd.

Works both way.

It will go down to Basel at Home.

Couldn't have asked for a better group. have the reigning champs for the glamour, Basel to attempt to settle an old score and Ludogrets for the romance.
All of that and progression to the knockout stages being very achievable.

League games after midweek CL games

West Ham A
WBA H
Hull H
Chelsea H
Stoke H
Man Utd A

4 at home so could have been worse. Chelsea a tough one but they will have a midweek game themselves. Would be great to be qualified before the last CL game so we could rest a few before the United game.

Oh man, that Madrid match is on at a great time. Going to try so hard to go to it and then off to Dortmund that weekend!

Same idea meself. Was hoping to get some tickets for Real away. I would assume that tickets would be easy-ish got, seeing as it's such a massive stadium, but it's all about sitting in the away end.

I hope so too, otherwise the whole 'filmin midgets' thing may have taken on a darker tone. :eek:

Was watching the draw , saw the first part , had to leave so missed the last bit . Delighted with that draw , Great to see we got a nicely balance group of hard and so called easier games

Really looking forward to us playing Real .

Jack Robinson has gone to QPR permanently, dont know the figure.

Edit, seems to be 1m.

Francie Barrett

Good luck, Jack. Think he was very harshly treated by Liverpool fans after that game against Oldham in the FA Cup. I wish him well.

Glen Johnson comment.

klose

Hes gone straight on loan from qpr to huddersfield then too, joins up with conor coady. Always thought him and kelly could be starting full backs for us a few years ago.

Francie Barrett

4 competitive wins in a row for Spurs. Some of their mis-firing players from last year looking decent so far. They haven't been playing the best of opposition admittedly, but I'd preferred not to see them playing so well.

Knex*

Where's Grayditch these days? He loves to hates a bit of Spurs.

Thinking about it, haven't seen him post in forever. Hope all is well with the man.

Another season and ye saps are still not with the program! :eek:

What's with the positivity???

We're lucky to have finished second last season and should be grateful that we were allowed in the CL.

We will be battling out with Ludowhatsit for the 3rd place Europa League sloppy seconds slot.

We're going to struggle in all our games after a CL game probably 3 out of 18 points.

We're going to be lucky to finish 7th this season.

What else is there.....
We must not forget that we spent over 100 million euro in the transfer market this year and if we do our friends in the media will remind us. (Never mind Man United currently having the most expensive squad in the history of the PL at 400 mill!)

Oh yeah, Brendan Rodgers is a sham of a manager who will be found out eventually
