So much money
So little fashion sense.

I have to disagree!

Apart from Firmino's & Coutinho's shoes, Benteke & Klavan's shirts, and Moreno's EVERYTHING, it's pretty sensible. Lots of black and grey, lots of jeans and sensible shoes!

For a group of young rich famous sports stars, that's very low key...

Lucas looking Boss.

Henderson with ripped knee jeans :eek: There is no words.

Some of them look alright but some of the dress sense is hilarious, but hey ho if I had that kind of cash and was a young premier league player I'm sure my Mammy and missus would be still dressing me... :P

Young, apart from Manninger, who looks like he could be my dad. And I'm 35.

Looks like Fergie was right, Henderson does have dodgy knees.

My prediction:

P38 W25 D6 L7 GF94 GA56 GD+38 81 points

Moreno to get 6 goals and 9 assists and the whinging about him here to die down
Klopp to get a touchline ban
Origi top scorer with 18
Sturridge given up on
Grujic becomes an instant cult hero

Other teams:
Leicester finish 3rd or 4th
Man Utd in disarray by Christmas
Arsenal finish 8th or 9th
A big name doping scandal

West Brom have joined in looking for Benteke we might just make the money and a little profit on him.

I like how all of these are somewhat plausible, yet just enough out there for people to raise a few eyebrows and ask if you're mad.

Sweet Jesus, we need to season to start and you need to get some more outdoor time.

And you could argue that if we did not have big European games coming up we'd have got closer. However, 66 points got 4th when your looking at on average 71/72 points normally.

Yep, 66 points securing 4th was exceptionally low and reflected the implosion of Chelsea and United.

For me, the barometer of this year is Spurs. Over the past few seasons, they have been a better team than us in general. Assuming they don't implode, then if we can finish above them, that will be progress.

State of Moreno. Between the gear and the haircut where do you start?

Klavan looks like he left the restaurant with his napkin still tucked into the neck of his shirt.

I thought he had only arrived and put it on, was thinking he looks eager for a bit of grub.. how much are we paying the poor lad? Or maybe the wife hasn't moved across yet so he's not getting his dinner (one for the lads!).

I wonder when Firmino is having his operation to complete his transformation to the Premier Leagues first transgender footballer.

As for Benteke, I think West Brom would be a better side to sell him to if the offers are the same.

Can't do much of an analysis on that lean, it's just his right arm on the table. Why did we even sign this spoofer?

I know it'll be one game into the season but I always adore and dread the opening game of the season in equal measure. Losing, even badly might ultimately mean nothing (same as winning well) but it would still crush me once again.

Not sure but I'd say the player may have some input into the where he is being asked to move to. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe slavery has made a comeback and LFC can just sell him to whoever they want without his consent.

Harry Palmr

Hope so!

The point Giles was making was a reasonable one. Klopp has an advantage inthat he knows the squad better than the other managers at the big sides apart from Arsenal. Typical Giles though he didn't bother to research his subject matter even a little bit.

He said that you could pull away from the other sides at the start because Klopp knows his team. Clearly he didn't take into account the fact that your first five fixtures couldn't have been much harder had I picked them for you myself.

Arse A
Burley A
Spurs A
Leicester H
Chelsea A

And another away game in the league cup in the middle of that. It's an absolute stinker and if you guys are leading the pack after those 5 fixtures you'll deserve to be title favourites.


Not a dig at ye by the way, just Giles complete unprofessional attitude to his work annoys the hole of me.

Would love is to be looking for Berahino if they are interested in Benteke.

K-9

Ideally we get 7 or 8 points out of that and then build momentum in the run of matches after that.

Then tough matches for a while after that but a kind run in. Giles isn't the worst.

I posted a while back that utd/ city/chelsea all had new managers like 13/14. They would be off the pace of their new managers so while it tough games we can make real head way there

5starpool

8 points from those 5 games and I'll be content.

Iused2likebusts

The 87/88 first game of the season was also away at arsenal. A 2 1 win a bit like now it was the start of a new era. Rush had been sold Barnes, aldridge and beardsley brought in with the money. Probably my favourite liverpool team to watch some amazing football that season the 5 0 home win over Forest who had a great team at the time was an unreal performance.

I wouldn't mind if the club did did look for him, but only if its to tell himself and his agent to fuck off.

I believe we will have 6 in first two games.
Arsenal are less prepared
It will be a good victory

Oh yea I forgot he had that f&cking guy as his agent. That would be a definite reason not to go near him. I would be refusing to deal with him ever again to be honest. Who will we miss out on? Sterling, Berhino? I'll live with that

Totally disagree with Giles because I think City have a great squad BUT...

Great time to play Arsenal, there probably won't be a better time all season. Klopp is all about high intensity, high energy, high pressing... basically high everything. I would imagine energy levels will be at their peak well before other teams get into their stride.

I don't think Leicester will be great this year. Burnley are a club who will likely be battling relegation. Spurs and Chelsea away are obviously difficult but they have to be played at some stage. A win at a weak Arsenal and momentum could be a great thing by the time those fixtures roll around.

Look at it this way.

5 games in and we have 3 of our 5 main rivals for a top 4 spot already played away

Tough start is to our advantage but we'll need 2 most games
Why cant we defend set-pieces?
