Just a pity we played them first there was no way they could keep up parking the bus for two matching running against two hard pressing teams.

Chelsea got the break today that we didn't get with a goal after 30 seconds. Pretty much ruined any bus parking plans.

That's what happens when you blow all that money on Pogba, you don't have the budget for a 52 seater bus for two games in a week and you end up with a 12 seater mini-bus that just doesn't have makes he same defensive capabilities.

It's a 29 game season now and we have a lead most of the teams and we don't have to play away to Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs.
Season starts today, game on .

Couldn't happen to a nicer manager or club, tbh. They are far from dead and buried and could well still have a very good season, but I'm enjoying it now. I missed the game, so wonder what time MOTD2 is on at? Some people are historically good at supplying that information.

BorneTobyWilde

We play teams in lower half of league until Xmas.

Alonso77

From what I can gather the general gist of what mourinho said to conte after the match- "don't shift my ex girlfriend in front of me it's humiliating".

Those mistakes are easier to make when tiredness and slips in concentration kicks in your third game in 7 days compared to your first.

PL winner odds.......... best prices available...
Man City 6/4
Liverpool 7/2
Arsenal 6/1
Chelsea 13/2
Spurs 12/1
Man Utd 25/1

Liverpool really short compared to Arsenal & Chelsea considering how close we are in table.

Keep the Liverpool always underpriced speel lads, we've all heard it before, cheers

Surely he would have said that to John Terry?

So last season we'd be just about where Man Utd* are now?

We only scored something like only 8 or 9 goals in those same games too.

10 I think. 3 vs Villa and Chelsea, 2 vs West Brom and 1 vs Leicester and Swansea iirc.

I'm glad Tipsy McSwagger & Myself's Agenda as it was called on many times worked out.

That agenda being wanting Klopp in charge.


It's good to know two posters with Agenda's on Boards.ie can have such influence on world affairs :pac:

Gerrard can coach the U9's. Any higher up the food chain than that and I'll be worried.

We were the only 2 people who wanted Rodgers out and we took a lot of stick from a lot of posters, but fcuk it lets all just enjoy the great transformation our club is going through.

Rodgers time was up & it was right to let him go majority of posters in this thread realized that just didn't resort to abusing the manager.
But I think overall he did a good job & the club was in a better position (squad wise) when he left than when he arrived. 13/14 despite failing against Chelsea was a great season with amazing attacking football. Rodgers is now doing a good job at Celtic too.

BorneTobyWilde

Gerrard would be an asset to anyone.
He has plenty to offer.
He could play top flight football in Italy for next 3 years.
He's not old yet . Look at Ibram at United .

..... didn't ye both want Ayre gone too?
Must be like Christmas for ye.

We were been linked with managers like Scooby Doo at that point though.

We would have sacked him a day into job if we knew Klopp would take role .

He's no chance of playing for us.

“this will be a really big surprise –he is always so welcome at Liverpool,”

“Everything we will talk to each other about will stay in these talks. That is how I know Stevie and that is how I am.

“Nobody should be worried that we don’t have space for Steven Gerrard. Everything will be fine, 100 per cent.”

Is that Klopp saying those things.

Harry Palmr

Space - not a squad number. There is space at Kirkby

Has he his coaching badges ?

What space ?

Will his presence undermine Henderson again ?

Why say anything in a few words when you can ramble on with more words than are completely necessary in making your point or in my case an failed attempt at humour but which at the same time was trying to make a point about certain strategies.

Buford T. Justice V wrote: »

Would he be a Mini-coach or 52 seater though?

ush

Was gonna compare Gerrard with McAllister, but the game has moved on. Shame.

You constantly called him a spoofer and moaned about him during his whole reign. Even when we were winning. I'd call you consistent but nothing to be proud of IMO.

I'm not trying to have a dig at you btw, I just find calling for someone to get fired consistently bad form, even when winning.....

Agent Coulson

So maybe chance our arm by offering City Sturridge for Aguero in the January transfer window.:pac:

Neither striker seems wanted by their present managers.

Agent Coulson

Fresh week all is good Klopp hugs all round!

That utd thread is hilarious. They have a good old pop at pep and then jump on the fact that one Liverpool poster mentioned we may win the league this year. After yesterdays game they then give out about other teams fans discussing their team. We then have some of their posters coming in here telling us they have a squad full of brilliant players . They really are having difficulty adjusting to the reality of the post fergie era. Its weird as any utd fan I know or talk to can discuss the issues in a logical way. There is obviously a culture of defend my club at all costs on boards.

Most are grand, but there are a couple in particular that are very grating recently.

MD1990

If we do rotate tomorow. It would be good to Alexander-Arnold,Ejaria & Ings all 3 have been superb for the u23's.
Alexander-Arnold & Woodburn are two of our most promising youngsters since Sterling I would say.
