Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2015/16 (*EVERYONE READ MOD POST in OP)

Every time I look at one of his interviews, it just reminds me of this fella.

MD1990 · 13-10-2015 10:21am

way too much talk of Ferguson.

It will be interesting to see if both Sturridge & Ings start Saturday or most likely just one of them. Ings is in good form & Firmino is still injured.

Grayditch · 13-10-2015 10:23am

Yeah, he hates Liverpool, we hate him. Sorted.

Yeah, like the structure of it makes perfect sense.

Manager says the type of player he wants, likely giving an example. Scouts etc all go off and find the best options they can, return to manager for his approval. He runs the rule over them and says the order of preference. Club tries to buy them in that order, getting the highest priority they can within budget.

The fact that it was a disaster under Rodgers looks more like terrible communication and implementation of the system, rather than the system itself.

For us it looked more like the "committee" had a certain amount allocated towards the managers immediate requirements, and a certain amount allocated towards buying players in random positions, with a view to long term profit. That element of it has to stop - for senior players at least, only guys who are viewed as adding something to the first team squad should be considered. For the long term profit game, stick to 15/16/17 year olds.

Spot on i think , and i think it works well in american sports where player can come in for one specfic play that takes s few seconds , then be taken in/out as required .
Even in a more fluid game like soccer it can be a sucessful and lucrative policy if implemented right and not at the expense of first team options . Given the amount of competitions and the amount of money any club in the pl can spend makes it very lucrative and a good business plan .
Just proper contraints and direction with the manager / coaches giving imput would work

With all the DVD viewing Klopp is putting himself through (and some of the games will surely test his endurance) I hope someone will stick a couple of games like Liverpool 5-1 Arsenal and Liverpool 3 - 2 Man City in the pile as they show what the side can do if well set up.

LuckyLloyd · 13-10-2015 10:34am

Lads...the NSFW pics need to be in spoilers. I don't like reporting posts!

And Being Liverpool Season One. He can finally sort the conundrum. Did Sterling say "steady"?

He'd only want to watch the first half of the City game tbh if he wants to be impressed! Second half we got our arses handed to us!

The one team Rodgers seemed to have the upper hand on, Spurs, and its Klopp first game.

Queue those feckers ruining our weekend now.

Still, I am very excite.

Well we've beaten them the last 5 times we've played them in the league with a combined score of 18-4, so they owe us one now. Hopefully they won't give it to us this weekend.

And we use to struggle there, right? Raging I've to work Saturday, think I might ring in dead.

MD1990 · 13-10-2015 12:14pm

For saturday I would go 4-3-3. I would give Origi a start as Lallana is doing well last few weeks but takes up similar positions to Coutinho.

Mignolet--
Clyne---Skrtel---Sakho---Moreno

Milner----Lucas----

Coutinho
Sturridge---Ings

Origi

Its been a while since anyone would have felt the need to use that excuse, so I'd say you'd get away with it.

Klopp has pretty much exclusively used a 4231 at Dortmund atleast, would be surprised is it was anything else here.

billymitchell · 13-10-2015 12:41pm

Seems to be a lot of love on here recently for Moreno LB in a back 4. Not sure what that is based on, the lad really cant defend.

Rafa's first game was also away to Spurs in 2004! (I was actually at it!)

None of our defenders could defend under rodgers tho.

Fair cop. I just dont think Moreno has it in him to be a good defender. Happy to be proved wrong, but the lad is an out and out wing back, I'd even play him as a winger rather than full back.

I actually think with the right coaching he will flourish very like Bale, start out as a LB then LWB then LWF. Looking at a few highlights over the last while its clear that most of the defense had no idea where any of the other defenders were, make them all more aware and they will all become better defenders.

That will be a nice problem to have. Football on the laptop with one of the headphones on, and rugby on the telly that the missus will be watching too is the way to go I reckon if I need to.

A bit off topic but does anyone use the Chromcast to stream from the laptop to the TV?Is it any good?

Thinking of getting one

Bearing in mind you can only stream what your watching on Chrome browser and a few other specific apps, and if you don't have a smart TV, yes it is worth it...

As mentioned the screening was put up a month or 2 ago, I haven't noticed any team sheets leaked in the last few weeks so anyway. Why it went on for so long and under different managers, I don't know. I think Sherwood mentioned it when we played Villa, it really was a running joke.

use it to stream BT sports from my phone to the TV, works really well, wouldn't notice the difference between that and actual sky box.

No idea how it is with the laptop though

One of the papers said he did watch the City game which was encouraging for him and the team. Nothing new there for us supporters as we know we are capable of performances like that.

The team has still been getting leaked almost every week so far this season.

He was excellent defensively vs Everton & didn't give Deulofeu a kick.

Utopia Parkway · 13-10-2015 1:57pm

Is it not a bit ridiculous that Ings' tribunal valuation seems to be rising due to things that he's done since joining Liverpool. Surely it should only be judged on his career before joining the club. The price seems to be rising weekly at the moment.

Hopefully it doesn't end up like my last attempt.
