Going for the Messi look. Maybe we should throw him on as a right winger on Friday. See what happens.

He should grow a beard too, then we can just covertly kidnap Messi and put Moreno in his place. Surely no one would notice, everyone would just think Klopp was a genius for moving Moreno further up the pitch and that Messi at full back was useless, as you'd expect anyhow.

:eek::eek: I think Klopp already has the kidnap underway.
Moreno came on as a forward against Leicester. Rodgers was in Barcelona working undercover for LFC last night to help with the swap. All this talk from Rodgers about Suarez being a beautiful human being was a decoy.
I expect a Moreno/Messi hatrick against Chelsea.

Doesn't matter who bleached their hair first, the important thing to remember is that Ramsey did it fourth.

Must be something else. Moreno pulling a duck face.
He's more of a **** face.

I think Mrs. Merton said it best when she asked Debbie Mc Gee "So what was it that first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?"

Dahoud playing against City tonight for anyone interested.

Is he playing? I'm watching the goals programme on BT and City look to be walking through them.

Nearly half of that is made up of Suarez, Torres and Sterling.

While its good business, its not something as supporters we should celebrate when you look at what we've won and our league finishes in that time frame. Basically we sold our best players and failed to replace them.

While the financial side of the football is important, I'm not an accountant and will never be excited by sale profit etc

Is that net or gross?

Also poor Porto.

Klopp clearly wants runners in midfield rather than one sitting player.

Not something to take offence at to be honest, Liverpool happen to have players who could all fetch a premium for different reasons at different times - it's not as if the club forced a manager to clear the decks and buy in kids. They make their choices and live or die by the result.

Just don't see whose place he takes. He does effectively the same thing Wij, Henderson and Can do.

And it seems Klopp wants a sitting player who is also a runner, since that's what he plays fairly consistently. One of the 2 is always in the more defensive position. So far this season it's been Henderson. Will likely be Can when he's back.

If we buy Dahoud, it would seem likely that'd he'd replace the other option - Henderson or Wij, which is what makes me think that it was a case of Dahoud OR Wijnaldum, rather than both.

Was that how it came across? Was just making an observation which was stating I have little interest in profits when we lose our best players and are unable to replace them basically.....and in general we do try to replace them with the money just to clarify....

Has Markovic played at all yet this season?

Yea, but has potential to ruin the weekend at a very early stage. A loss would be awful , and a long wait to play another league game.
I think we can trouble them, Terry is out.
We just might need to out score Costa to win .

Have a feeling we'll need 3.

No idea! He's dropped off my radar mainly because I'm certain that, like Wisdom at RB Salzburg he'll be offloaded at the end of the season (and yes I know Andre will be a free agent)

Not seen that much of Dahoud. Did not see the game tonight but from what I saw in 2-3 games he looks better technically than what we have in midfield.

So Joe Gomez is about a month away from training - any opinions in him? seems to be hyped up a bit - I dont recall being too blown away from his decent brief showings last year.

That's another reason I think of it as being him or Wijnaldum.

That's the aspect you would expect Wijnaldum to bring to CM once he gets move comfortable there. Really think we'll only move for Dahoud if Wijnaldum turns out to be a washout in CM, rather than being a foregone conclusion that we'll be moving for him again next summer.

He was playing out of position last season though.

He was terrifically solid at the back, athletically gifted, and had a great sense of positioning. But going forward from fullback was very poor. Can't blame him, he's just not an attacker, and isn't left footed, so kept losing the plot a bit once he got past the halfway line, turning in onto his right foot to offload, and killing attacking momentum.

But as a CB, if he can recover fully from his injuries, he looks a great option for the future. It's very rare for a centre back to be at that level at that age - normally start coming into their own at more like 23 or 24. He's still only 19.

He played against Accrington Stanley in the cup and didn't have a good game. I'd imagine it was down to match fitness. Full backs are Stephen ward and matt lowton ex villa.

Boom_Bap

Flanno hasn't played football in ages consistently, I'd say he needs to get his fitness up before Burnley use him.

I missed the game at the weekend, so I am dying to see us tomorrow night now.
Chelsea are going to be tough but I think if we keep pressing them and move quickly we can casue them trouble.
My concern is that if the win the ball and get it up to Willian or Hazard, we will be on the back foot and they could hurt us.

Got my wedding tomorrow but you can be sure I'll be catching as much of the match as possible. Leicester was a great performance but beating Chelsea at the bridge would lay down a big marker and show we are title challengers.

It won't imo, we have no problems against the bigger teams as we saw last season, it's the upcoming games against Hull, WBA, Palace & Swansea that will determine how we do this season. These are the ones where we tend to slip up.

Congrats!

Move the meal/speeches crap to 4pm, be done and dusted by 7.30. First dance rubbish then into the bar by 7.45. Have the sausages/sandwiches/cake at 9.35. EZ game. If you are having a wedding without most of that rigmarole, then fair play to you. I tried to minimise it for my own, but it didn't work out that way. At least I had the sense to organise mine (deliberately) for early July in a summer there was no major tournament on

Mine is August 2017 before any premiership matches start and no major tournament on. Happy days

You're not wrong, but there's no doubt that if we could follow 7 points from games against Arsenal, Spurs and Leicester with 3 against Chelsea, the confidence would go through the roof.

That said, you're spot on - 12 points against Hull, WBA, Palace and Swansea would take us much further than 3 against Chelsea followed by a subsequent slump...

Every season we seem to be able to look back at 3, 4, 5 games that you'd expect to win on paper that we managed to draw or lose. To do well this season, we need to cut out those stupid mistakes.

5starpool

Be grand, get 15 points from the next 5 games, then 15 points from every 5 games after that. We will probably make top 4 with that form.

Congratulations to you both!

Wedding anniversary today so going for a drink (or two!) tonight in an advance celebration of our victory tomorrow night!

And I may have a drink tomorrow night to celebrate your wedding (I'm sure the invitation is just delayed:P).

Enjoy the day, we'll look after the match thread for you.
