Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2015 Mod Note in OP 9/4

marklazarcovic

We couldn't beat a Chelsea team that parked the bus,this team had even less attacking intent..it really isn't so simple to get past two walls of 4 plus 1 ..

Its pretty obvious the lads who just wanna moan at every opportunity but we threw everything at them really..we just don't have quality to finish off attacks these days...sterling is less a threat than ibe these days. Despite what a lot think,balotelli is not a quality player not trying.. He is a decent player not trying. When he's good he is just decent.

Be a lot of moaning before the end of season about the same things..why bother..our season is done really,just playing for pride..I'd leave Stevie out except for last home game..no point him injuring himself before he moves..and finish the season in the formation the manager wants us playing more often then not,with actual wing backs or full backs,can in midfield so we can see what he is like there,Ibe a winger only,Marko playing in attacking role only..

Let's see what they are actually like in their preferred roles for a few games continuous.

Mish mash team all season

Shows you how poor our season has been tbh. The PL has been weak this season too full of overpaid players.

15 conceded in 22 by my count so it prolly does reduce the over all alright.

I was expecting exactly that. Doesn't make it any less frustrating.

On the bright side,Watford were promoted today so that should be a handy 6 points next season.

For me it's all about pace and goals.

Last year our pace was relentless, we ran teams ragged and attacked from all angles and this was followed up with goals, victories and confidence.

This year we have no pace as we don't have a dynamic duo up front, so less pace, predictable attack, less goals, victories and confidence.

It's depressing but can all change with the right, attacking signings in the summer.
Also thought Sterling was poor today. Makes me wonder should we cash in.

Except when it comes to clean sheets, I wouldn't be surprised if Madrid come in for Mignolet instead.

United have probably spunked a lot more on defenders too...

Stats! :mad:

So the issue was goals conceded rather than games lost. Last season LFC were letting in goals for fun and nearly won the league, this season the side are one of the best for shut outs and will be lucky to finish 5th which goes to show the correlation between goals conceded and points won is actually weak.

What's the joke he is behind Mig for the golden glove.

Honest question for ye lads (and yes I know CL not technically gone yet) but would you lot prefer to stay out of the Europa League next year if 4th gone? - for me United not being in it this year was a major advantage in turning things right.

I thought it was just Di Maria struggling with grasping the English language? The majority of yer squad seems limited to just the one word; "hello". Wink face.

Anyone else want to say hello while you're at it? :P

Can't understand that Northern accent, he may as well be saying "5 European cups."

"European Cup" ... sounds like it was around when nana and grandad were in their prime - what of this new blasted "Champions League" and "Premier League" thing??

Subjectively no, objectively I suppose its not in anyone's interest to actively avoid the Top 7 as it would reflect terribly on everyone.

Play the kids and the bench in the group stage and see if they qualify. If so then boost the squad and hope that the manager doesn't take his eye off the Prem ball.

Yeah I agree with you there - I think its very risky playing even 4 or 5 first team players in the group stages... is the Liverpool squad big enough to cope with it? (assuming you have to name the squad before going into the competition)..

Had we (United) been playing in it this year I think we would have fell apart with our injury crisis - I don't know what kind of teams we might have had to field.

Homnestly when arsenal inevitably end up in the Europa I hope we give it a go. if a squad cant handle europa Then is it capable of handling champions League?
I think Liverpool would be capable of winning the Europa and getting a Champions League spot via that route.

JohnDaniels

No CL football, no real draw in terms of players like Gerrard would have been for years, geographically challenged, not willing to pay top wages, coming off the back of a poor season and a manager who is of no attraction. That all adds up to a bleak transfer window, I think we desparetly need a manager who can offset those disadvantages to some degree.

Would the 4th placed PL league team lose their spot then like Spurs??

Right now I'd say no bearing in mind the likely exits (the likes of Borini and Johnson who are the definition of squad players will be gone) and if Liverpool do have to play qualifiers in early July then you'd hope that gets the club off its arse and doing deals ASAP.

Personally I have such faith in the reserves I'd give them the bulk of places - O'Hanlon, Rossiter, Branagan, Wilson, Philips, Canos, Ojo, Sinclair, Yesil, Kent can give any likely first round opposition a good game.

Imagine how good Mignolet would be with a proper defence and midfield in front of him he would be nailed on for the Golden Glove.

I certainly want us to take EL serious next season (if we are in it) but not everyone thinks the same. I don't think we've a good chance of winning it though given how bad we've done in Europe recently when we've been in it.

Wasn't he dropped in favour of Brad Jones not long ago?
Weren't half the posters in here calling for his head?
He's a fine keeper, but to suggest he's in the same class as De Gea or Courtois is daft.

Caovyn Lineah

Puke, the result today is even more annoying now.

Nah. Even if City had lost earlier today and we were on after them, we'd still bottle it. So meh. Don't do it to yourself.
