Can I just say that as a serious sports fan I love watching a Flawless picture in glorious 1080p where It's Pure Tele Vision.

BTW, this thread is like a closed :)book group.

So that's 28 games across all comps so far this season.

18 wins
3 defeats
7 draws

Losing becoming rare which is good.

You're joking right??! Flanno is about as far away from Liverpool standard as you can get. He offer less than nothing going forward and he's a limited athlete. TAA has been nothing below decent anytime he played and he made two great covering tackles tonight as well as pinging some great balls out to the left. Huge prospect. I disagree with Harry tho in that I think it will be as a right back. At least it will if Klopp is here, his fullbacks are basically wingers that can defend decently which Trent can.

There is this Spanish striker scoring some big goals this season and scored another tonight we should keep an eye on not great at the corners thought I hear.

Poor League and all that, but Rodgers now has a win Ratio of 72% at Celtic all competitions.

36 Games. 26 Wins. 5 Loss. 5 Draws.
20 League games. 19 Wins. 0 Loss. 1 Draw.

It's nice to see him do well, I wonder will he get another crack at a big PL club.

Agent Coulson

Klopp asked if Lucas will stay at #LFC this month: "I would say yes."

Feels like every time I tune into a bit of Spanish football Iago Aspas is killing it against Barca or Real. 11 goals in 16 apps this season.

Yet all I can think about is

BorneTobyWilde

We should be spending 5m on a striker
A little research and you can find a diamond in the rough for Klopp to shape
As long as he has pace and work rate and is under 23 I would not care if he's in 4 division

BorneTobyWilde

Oghenetega Tamaraebi Bakumo-Abraham has potential
A cheeky bid could get him
Has some raw talent that needs honing

Im not joking, I dont think he's going to make it. I hope he proves me wrong. Flanagan has an excellent season for us under his belt.and then he got injured, he'd be able back up to Clyne I would have thought.

Sign players with loooooooooooong names! The official store would make a fortune.

Isn't he one of the 26/27 youth players Chelsea have out on loan this season? Signing him my prove problematic.

To be fair to Flanagan, he had a good second half to the 2013/14 season. He earned an England call up on the back of his performances. Afterwards he has missed a year and a half due to a serious knee injury. That will have had a massive impact on his development as a player.

He's 24 years old, but it could be another season before we know what level he is now capable of playing at. He went to Burnley to get first team football but that hasn't happened. He's unable to displace Stephen Ward or Matt Lowton from the team. This might suggest he's not able/ready for the Premier League now.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is a prospect, at 18 years of age he looks to be a better player than Flanagan.

He can dribble, he's got a trick, he's got goals, and would have more assists if the people he assists could finish.
Young with pace and work rate.
We need to get someone in, do we have any young strikers at club, its strange not to. We always had a young striker coming through. Good to see young players out tonight, but they're in back line or midfield. Where is the next fowler, rush, owen?

Fair play to him, put his Liverpool stint behind him picked up a UEFA cup winners medal and is averaging a goal every other game since returning to celta, Spanish cap and goal to boot too. He did try when he was here, I even remember him giving an interview in really broken English after a cup game too and gave the vibe he really wanted to make it. Hope his form continues!

That would be Woodburn and to a lesser extent Origi.

Turtyturd

Dunno if this would be better suited to the tickets thread but going to the game on Saturday (hope I don't 5starpool it) ,my brother got a ticket in the general sale before Christmas but since then a few more have decided to go and we've sourced tickets elsewhere.

He's now looking to get rid of the original ticket, is his ticket for the match his LFC membership card, and does he have to go through the hassle of meeting someone beforehand and afterwards to get it back?

Lads, Joe Gomez was a highlight in an otherwise painful game to watch

I hope he keeps himself fit because he could be a top top defender /redknapp

My missus watching the game with me was baffled at the amount of times I was raving about him: "He's only taking it down and passing out to a winger"

Me: "EXACTLY!!"

She doesn't know the benefits of passing it out from the back? As Pep would say, "she is not a keeper".

I believe that is his only option, yes. Ask on IK if you have an account there and you have a better chance of getting someone known to people getting it as opposed to a complete randomer.

Agent Coulson

We turned down a loan bid for Sakho from Southampton.

No loan deals wanted he goes permanently or he stays.

Colemania

I know it was never going to happen, but the penalty should have been given to one of the younger players who have experience of taking penalties. I'm fairly sure Trent and Wilson have taken them for the reserves/youth team before. It doesn't matter that its not at the same level. If you're tucking away penalties consistently at reserve level, there won't be a massive difference at senior level. I know reina had a great record of saving penalties but other than that, there isn't a keeper that has a massive save percentage.

I knew before it was taken that Origi was going to miss that penalty, just by the fact he doesn't take penalties too often and I remember him missing a few with Lille when he did take them. He didn't look too confident stepping up to take it either but being the most senior attacker on the pitch, he was always going to be taking it.

As for no loans, good the see the club standing their ground after Italian teams taking the p!ss for years.

Actually reading it again, you might have another course of action. If your brother is at the game (which it sounds like he is) but not using his own ticket, he can (I think) go to the ticket office, say he lost his card, he'll need proper ID and to prove who he is, and I think they will issue a new card in the post and a paper ticket for the game. Not 100% sure on that, so perhaps needs more research, but it could work perhaps.

I think there maybe a £10 charge for that

It was indeed painful to watch but we progressed, Plymouth got a full house replay so big picture, all good

Coutinho got 60 mins too & as you say Gomez was great.

Also Karius got another clean sheet under his belt

Wasn't the worst FA cup 3rd round for us really.

92-93 when we were knocked out at Anfield by Bolton (in league 2 at the time) in replay 2-0

or Bristol 93-94 also at Anfield in replay

Ilori gone to reading for 3.8m, according to guardians transfer thingy.

Thought he left last summer

Dickerty

Should have gone sooner, but good luck to him.

Looks like United might offload Luke Shaw - I doubt they'd sell to us, but I'd have him. A very good foil for Clyne, lots of ability and just needs a fresh start. I expect he'll go to someone Palace for 18 months, then ultimately move to a top club again. LBs are hard to come by.

presumably that's not a verified Wij' account.

Grayditch

I was at the Meshuggah gig last night so missed the match, was Sturridge no use?

Harry Palmr

Crap really, never looked in tune with the rest. The play was most fluent with Ojo, Wilson and Woodburn moved central after Coutinho went off.

BullBlackNova

I missed last night (thank god) but in the first game, the senior players (Moreno, Origi specifically) looked the worst players on the pitch, by some distance too.

I guess the others would naturally have more chemistry with eachother since they'd play with eachother regularly.

Can likely say the same about Sturridge...

[can someone help me pick up these straws that I was trying to grasp?]
