Here's is a question we all use the term he's a young player.


Now at what age does a player stop being young?

Twenty starts in the first team. You're a player then if your any good.

Starting Woodburn would light a fire under a few of them.

Coutinho was young when we bought him, not so much now, 25 in June
Can is quite a bit young than Coutinho, has nearly 2 years on him.
Can should improve like Coutinho did.

Was that him running lazily back for the second with his hand in the air in a vain attempt to influence the lines man to bail him out ?

If it was we can never complain about other teams players trying to influence the officials as he'd have run off the bench to do it.

We have to sort out the details first. Is it just the regulars paying or do the ones who only show up after a loss have to pitch in too?

33.3% chance of Utd doing the same and maybe worse so don't dunk your day yet lads. The Weekend has only started.

Everyone welcome, including multiple accounts.

I should easily make a score from Rarnes alone.

Make sure you ask around the United thread for a few quid. They don't want it anyway sure.

Francie Barrett

Lucas has obviously been a bit of a club legend, but watching him mince around the pitch like he was wearing concrete shoes was hard to watch. Think it's time he moved on, Italian league would suit him great. Moreno on the other hand, I have no time for whatsoever. Ran around like a total headless chicken, he literally has no footballing brain.

Umaro

"Liverpool providing private jet for Sadio Mane to return from Gabon today. Likely to be on bench v Chelsea"

Some good news I suppose.

It's a 6.25 % of Utd doing the same but hey who's being pedantic 😜

Umaro

Now that we're out, I'd prefer the other top 6 teams stay in the FA Cup as long as possible. Likewise the EL/CL. More matches, more fatigue, more dropped points.

It feels like we're going to need all the help we can get just to finish Top 4.

Lord Trollington

We've 16 games left and are currently in the top 4 , out of both Cups. No Europe and a few days left in transfer window to bolster - even loan deals.

If we don't get top 4, it can only be Klopps fault .

We win the nxt 16 games we win the league

Turtyturd

They should do a WWE style return for Mane. Name him on the bench but he's not actually there for kick off, have the camera constantly cutting to his empty seat and Sky/BT have a reporter at the players entrance to give updates throughout the game. Eventually on 80 minutes Klopp has had enough of playing with 10 men and is about to sub Sturridge for Moreno when Mane storms through the door, shoving the reporter out of the way, and tears onto the pitch to save the day.


















Or smacks Conte in the face with a steel chair.

Meh. Chelsea are on course for 95.

It might be enough but this Chelsea team are incredibly resilient.

I'd love to see the stats on the end of season games for champions in seasons with close races vs those without, but my impression is that teams tend to take their foot off the pedal if they don't have to keep winning.
I think that's what makes 90+ points totals less common than they should be.
Of course it's possible that those teams are also rotating more as well because they've got other competitions to focus on, which Chelsea won't as much.

If Chelsea are pushed I don't think they'll struggle to get 90.

The title race appeared to be over after Bournemouth.
It's not just about points.
January made the maths go against us, but we showed prior to that that we really did not look like Champions even when we were on form.

In essence, it's the difference between being able to be on form and still drop points, vs performing well but still having the wherwithal to win regardless.

At any rate, we have neither the quality or the bottle to get 16 wins on the spin.
In a race where who blinks first loses, I'd back Chelsea and their squad of players who've won things over ours, who mostly haven't won anything of note and have generally failed most of their recent tests.

rob316

disappointing the way mane lost but hopefully he has a bit fire in him now coming back. desperately need his pace and importantly aggression.

I'd. Imagine the ACON will have taken more out of him than if he had remained here... be great if he was back to peak form but I don't think he was that when he set off.

Colemania

Randall off to Barnsley on loan for the season. Hopefully it becomes permanent.....

Korat

LFC fans can watch other, lesser, teams spending huge amounts of money on crap players. Liverpool probably have their best manager in 30 years but he's operating on a shoestring compared to the teams he's supposed to compete with.

I'd be furious.

...... folks seem to be sure this is the Klopp way. I honestly don't know myself.

I'm sure he has money to spend if he wants to. Maybe he is seeing the bigger picture.

Bookies are there to take your money.

Odds are what they say they are. People who make money or lose it don't rely on someone else to make or influence their choices.

Anyone follow leandro parades? Sounds like a likely target anyway

We were linked with a move for him last summer, but Roma reportedly didn't want to sell. Since then he hasn't displaced De Rossi/Nainggolan/Strootman in the team so his agent is probably trying to get him a move elsewhere.

He's the right age profile for Klopp and would certainly be an improvement on what we have in terms of a defensive midfielder/playmaker. His tackling would be a concern though, there can be a bit of Latino bite in his tackles that you come to expect from Argentinian defensive midfielders.

BorneTobyWilde

Klopp has huge respect for money. He is fearful of spending the clubs money because of it.
One player can change a side though. I much prefer a 60m pound player of proven quality over 100m pounds spent on 6 players who don't make team.
What do people know of Diego Rolán ??
I think he's worth a bid, he's at that age where 3 years at Liverpool makes him a 100m pound man. I'm sure 20 could buy him now ?

This is guy I speak of
He could be our new dancing queen
Replacing Sturridge ...

Transfer market values him at 8million, I know it is a poor indicator, would he be a very similar player to origi

BorneTobyWilde

His pace and power with ball is ideal for a Klopp team. It's embarrassing as a club to need a player like this, to have the money to buy him but to choose not too.

More Suarez like,very skilful player with ability to pass dribble score assist and unlike Origi he is very much a fighter on the pitch, like a Costa.

Origi is very honest and does not get in the faces of defenders like a striker always should. We need a hard ass .

When does the window shut? Is it Tuesday night?

Tuesday night.


We should put in bids for Costa, Harazd, Willian & Courtois at 6pm on Tuesday.

A bid for Rolan Rat would be just fine
I know he could triple in price with 3 years at Liverpool

BorneTobyWilde

Everton bid for him in summer ? 15m offered, they wanted 3m more ??

If you think the Utd price is way out where us the value in that market so as the over round isn't at all out of the way

Leandro Paredes NOT coming to Liverpool as club prepare to end January without making any signings

Harry Palmr

So surprises there really, the message was put out about two weeks before the window was seen never mind opened.

BorneTobyWilde

So no one leaving no one coming in. The trouble with this is if we ship out a lot of players in summer and replace them with unproven talent it puts us into this phase of rebuilding that we seem to have been in for 25 years.

Agent Coulson

The way I look at the last few weeks is Klopp has basically rested as many first team starters as possible giving them a mini winter break during the cup games.

It has shown the lack of depth in the squad but it also killed momentum that had been built up before January.



If he gets the normal starting 11 back for the last 16 games I think we can get that momentum back pretty quickly.

If they don't get injured and if they are in form, we are short a couple of players and it is a shame, hopefully some player will be made available to the club before the window closes and they will be in a good negotiating position due to saying they were not signing anyone

NukaCola

I dont get why people think Klopp isn't telling the truth when it comes to transfers. He will only bring in players that he can get and are right for him as shown from 14 years in Germany.

Klopp brought in 16 players in 14 January transfer windows. Even when was building the Dortmund squad and Mainz he brought in 1 player in his first 2 Jan transfer windows at Mainz and 1 player in his first 2 Jan transfer windows at Dortmund.

We have to accept this is the way he operates. Like it or hate it, if you want Klopp here this is what you are getting.

Agent Coulson

Other than Everton signing Schneiderlin who have the other 5 of the top 7 teams signed?



There are very few players if any available to improve these teams this January.

You're wasting your breath Nuka, some people here are obsessed with making up a problem (club are not giving Klopp money for transfers) and are then finding FSG guilty not only of a crime they didn't commit but of a crime which doesn't even exist.

Some people are only happy when they have something to moan about and American "owners" are an easy/lazy target.

Moaners are always going to moan.
