    Nah, went to Everleigh. Last time I was there, back when I lived in the Big Shmoke, it was horrific. Was jammers and they didn't have that smoking room extension place I'm sure.

    Happy to report that this time around it was a good laugh. I'd give it four Klopps out of five.

    Well then, I am very sorry for his troubles. Living in Kerry is akin to wiping your hole with a cactus, except the cactus also has a sh1te accent.

    Sorry again D'Agger. I can't even imagine having to live there, in the arse of the country.

    Well 15-20mins against weak opposition is a bit small of a sample size. It's unclear to me what Can's best position is at this stage, he looks like a good footballer and athlete but I'm not sure if he should be defensive, box to box on the bench or what, he's a hard player to gauge, Klopp will know what to do hopefully.

    Can reminds me a bit of Sami Khedira. Not your typical defensive midfielder, but can do a job there. Also capable of adding some attacking threat when called upon, spray a good pass, offer support to all positions around him.
    There is the makings of a really good player in there somewhere, hopefully Klopp can nurture that ability into a decent player.
    Same can be said for a lot of players in our squad, they have the qualities to be good players, we just weren't seeing it much under Rodgers for the last couple of years.

    I went all out for lunch as the other half is being a right selfish bitch and gone away for a few days leaving me to cook and fend for myself.
    If it can't be cooked in one pot, I can't cook it.
    So it's sandwich week all week.

    Brown bread mini baps with mature red cheddar, a heap of lettuce, a tomato, fourteen slices of ham (no sorry four thin slices of ham please) Mayo and brown sauce.
    A tin of Pepsi poured into a glass with all the fizz drank before it settled.

    I miss the days when it was simply "Scrambled eggs on toast" or "Fry up".

    I guess the times are changing though, no use fighting it any longer.

    Turkey. Bread. With a side of disappointment.

    The only time you hear Pepsi in a conversation is when they reply "Is Pepsi ok?"

    Ings withdrew from the England games, hopefully not serious. I haven't heard about anything else so far anyhow. Still some hurdles to jump though.

    I'd hop if we did get him we would actually put him to use rather than loaning him out.

    Andre Ayew, Gundogan, Rubén Neves,

    Ardre Ayew offered to play for Liverpool for free till January during the summer to show he was good enough now he probably cost £15m if we do go back in for him.

    Well at the price floating about (30m) he'd have to be a starter. Neves only played 5 mins in the Euro U21s, that Portuguese midfield is so good.

    It's still ridiculous that the tribunal haven't settled on a fee for Ings yet. I've posted about it a few times before - main thing I'm worried about is a large sell-on fee. There's also talk now that his performances and England call up will influence the tribunal price which is not right

    Should the tribunal not be based on and up till he left burnley?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    5 days. I can't wait to see how we play. He'll hardly have had any time with the squad, so I'm not expecting much, but I'm excited to see him on the touchline.

    You'd be safer with "deeply tanned" I reckon

    All this nonsense about Benteke not being able to press. If he can follow simple instructions and can run around a lot, then he can press. It's not exactly a difficult concept to teach. I love the way some fans with a little knowledge come to spurious conclusions about a player's future, based on the fact they were not particularly focussed on one aspect of the game in the past. Makes me chuckle so it does.

    They should only take account up to the date he left, but an Echo article last month was saying that the tribunal are only human and wouldn't be surprised if these things affected it.

    Should have been sorted a long time ago. Having said that, at least the kid himself didn't have to wait before moving, it's at least good that he could move and play his football before the red tape got resolved

    Pressing is not "running around". I'm sure he wont have an issue with it but you have grossly over simplifed things here.

    Not yet but little on it here
    Jurgen Klopp took charge of his first Liverpool training session on Monday – and was handed an immediate boost with Philippe Coutinho among the players taking part.

    The Brazilian, who pulled out of Dunga's national squad last week due to a groin injury, was one of nine first-team players participating with several players still missing through injury or international duty.

    Klopp arrived at Melwood early on Monday, three days after being unveiled as the club's new manager, having watched the youth teams play at the Academy on Saturday.

    The session, which began at 2.30pm, was believed to have lasted between 60 minutes and 75 minutes, and contained a number of players in contention for a starting place for Saturday's trip to Tottenham.

    As well as being boosted by Coutinho's fitness, Daniel Sturridge, Alberto Moreno and Lucas Leiva were present.

    In addition, James Milner and Mamadou Sakho, who had been away on international duty, returned, while Kolo Toure and Joao Carlos Teixeira also featured.

    Dejan Lovren, who was stretchered off against Carlisle last month, was back in training too – but Roberto Firmino, who suffered a back injury in the same game, remained absent, along with the likes of Jordan Henderson and Christian Benteke.

    Three young goalkeepers were also called up to take part in the training, which was taken by Klopp, as well as Peter Krawietz – one of his assistants at Dortmund – and Pep Lijnders.

    Zeljko Buvac, another one of the club's assistants, is yet to arrive.

    Before the session began, the new manager gathered the players into a huddle and spoke to them for just under five minutes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,061 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    I said this the other day - pressing is a distinct tactic, not just clocking up miles. It requires
    a particular diligence and willingness to act quickly when the pressing is needed.

    Good to see Teixeira at the training session.
