How much did we spend again ?

the difference is a striker mate...

Yeah. That's the difference.

If only Liverpool had West Ham's forwards who scored on Satuday. Caroll and Downing I think their names are.

Anybody know anything about them? Might be worth a bid in January.

A win today would be nice, another one that makes half their fans disappear out of the soccer forum again would be a nice bonus.

Its not. He played 17 1 sub appearance & had an average 7.05 rating which is very good.

Of course you can't go completly by stats but he is not as bad as you are making out.

Sakho is a great passer of the ball......

All joking aside he hasn't got a good run in the team, I would like to see more of him before I'd judge. Seeing that he is fit now should be the time we'll see more of him, thats if he was a BR signing and not a committee signing or whatever nonsense reasons are doing the rounds for BR not picking players he signed.

He's been ok anytime I've seen him. Need to see more.

Lucas cost £5m & moved from Brazil as a young back up player.

Henderson showed plenty more in his first 18 months than Sakho has.

Henderson was pretty crap throughout his first season. Looked like a lad that didn't want the responsibility of being on the ball.

Most annoying thing re Sakho for me is he seems like a good player, but as you say bad signing.
A case could be made that it wouldn't matter what defenders were signed. They'd look poor for Liverpool which is a very poor reflection on the manager.

Harry Palmr

Kolo and Sakho should be the first choice paring for the rest of the season, except we're now three at the back so I suppose Skrtel is the third leg.

klose

If Rodgers is the man to lead us forward he is going to have to sort out the defence, we conceded 50 goals last year, the only "big" team to concede a similar number was spurs on 51 and they recieved a few hammerings.
We are on course to concede more goals this season I believe, we scored a ridiculous amount last season and we won't score similar numbers probably ever again in the league. There in lies my problem with Rodgers at the moment, I can accept we are nowhere near as good going forward but surely look to seal up the defence some what? He seems to have not much interest in doing that and if he is he's going an awful job of it. If he doesn't start shoring up the defence there's not much reason to persist with him as we will get nowhere conceding around 50 goals a season in the league.

The match threads should be restricted to day before opening to cut that crap. Mud slinging from each side when the bigger supported teams are playing is getting very personal.

The new scum. Classy.

shamrock55

I wonder if sterling will play up top on his own today?, i would like to see that with maybe coutinho, lallana, and markovic behind him, thats not a bad attack tbf, its who plays behind them id be worried about:D

Congratulations, you lead with such a brightly shining light.

I've a feeling we could do the Gunners today.

Look back over your posts in the last couple of days, you might notice a theme.

Team does ****; manager gets criticised. Strap yourself in baby - this might get worse before it gets better (or is resolved). You can't control or prevent rightful criticism.

Oh i agree, i wasnt calling arsenal scum btw, what i ment was have arsenal taken over from utd as a rival the way fans are constantly sniping at eachother

bad2dabone

The sniping is tiresome.

A draw today against Arsenal would be a decent result. I have a feeling we will get destroyed with their counter attack.

A draw would be a good outcome. Fixtures after that are a lot more forgiving.

Has the team not been leaked this week?

I think win is on the cards today and we could really do with it.

Those that want to do this will just go into each others super threads. The match thread funnels the bile and oneupmanship into one streamlined turd. Closing them and the lord of chaos will rule.

Good attacking team if that line up is true but arsenal could really exploit down markovic wing as i cant see him doing a whole lot of tracking back

Raif Severance

Migs was probably tapping BR's GF along with Borini.

It's the only Logical Explanation.

Because any other would mean, BR has Lost his Mind.

There's no Doubting that Migs has his Flaws. But for all of that, he is still 10x the Player, Jones is.

Dunno...there's a nice mixture of people that take everything very seriously and people that don't. I enjoy reading both.

On the Jones thing, it does seem like the type of experiment you undertake when you have nothing to lose.

The drop in quality between first choice and second choice is such that even a Mingolet completely lacking in confidence trumps Jones every time.

I dont want to be too 20//20 on the hindsight but considering the sheer numbers we signed in the summer, it is surprising we didn't upgrade our second choice keeper (nevermind our first choice).

Expecting an excellent game of technical football. Delighted it is at Anfield rather than the Emirates given our current form, gives me confidence the score will be tight.

I'm no fan of Mignolet but this Jones experiment has to end. Now.

Your unusual use of capitalisation disturbs me.

Since a few of the better posters cleared off. OPR, Kess and Jayob10 to name only a few. There are a few more whose posts always made excellent reading.

Perhaps you only find them posts good because you agree with them?

Nice to see you're still alive, I wasn't sure if you'd recover from the KO punch that the gooner landed on you yesterday!

Coates doing quite well in the Tyne/Wear derby.

Oh the post retorting to competitiveness with 'we have a stadium and signed a couple of players'. Yeah, cut me to the bone that.

OwaynOTT

just looking at the sky app on iPhone to record the match and they have a picture of Skrtel.
He's grappling! :pac:
