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.

Odds illustrate the probability of something happening if you think Utd have a 33% chance of going out then you will get some business on betfair laying Utd and the draw st 1/3 instead of 1/10

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.

The argument would presumably be that they don't need those players because they signed enough players in the summer or their squad is several years deep in the development process and we need to catch.

City didn't sign anyone, but Gabriel Jesus did only join now.

According to www.liverpoolfc.com media watch Klopp trying to bring in Mahmoud Dahoud from Borrusia Dortmund. Also linked with a leftback from Real Betiz Riza Durmisi. We need someone, or anyone at this stage.

Its interesting to see BVB struggles in Germany this year. 14 points off the top and dropped more points today. Kind of puts out situation in some perspective too as on paper they have a superior attacking players and squad than us.

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

Surely the club could throw Barnsley a few million to make sure it happens.

Had to be done, he's 2.5 years into his contract............ 29 in May so all going well he'll continue excelling in the cental role and enjoy his peak years at Anfield

You'd just wonder since he relies so heavily on his athleticism these days, how long can he play like that? He'd have to keep himself in unbelievable condition to keep that explosive style of play up into his thirties. It can be done though, Kuyt is still covering every blade of grass in the Netherlands.

Possibly our best player this season, definitely most improvement on last year

Harry Palmr

PSG and Spurs eh? Must be slightly insulted by those links.

BorneTobyWilde

Bumper new contract, ha
It's great we are getting away with paying the wages of 7 years ago.

Coutinho could be on 1m a week in China , Lallana 800,000 a week .

Turtyturd

Definitely the most improved player this season. Klopp has him playing more direct, he's taking less touches on the ball, and has almost completely cut out the pointless turns that often turned him back out of space.

Instead of Lallana it's now Can suffering from those.

Would like Woodburn to start. Give him a game with the first team players instead of the B team we play in cups.

If he performs as he is now for the next 2 full seasons he'll be 31 heading into 2019/2020.... same age as milner is now iirc.

He's technically great too IMO with great game intelligence.... all going well he should age well as a player barring bad luck & injury.

He seems to love his football too.

Mamadou Sakho: "It's true that I turned up late. There was a rule that I should have observed. I do not at all see myself as above the rules

Speaking in France, Sakho told Canal Football Club

It is true that I turned up late. There was a rule that I should have observed. I do not at all see myself as above the rules, I respect everyone.

“I paid my fine, I was sanctioned, I apologised to my team-mates and my manager. Aside from that… I do not want to go into the controversies.”

I’m a professional footballer, I remain pro. I train with the reserve team and I have a personal trainer. I work hard to stay on top form.

Did I consider a boycott? Never at all.

Interview in French.

OK, this is obviously intensified by recent form but Christ it seems a waste having Sakho exiled at the moment.

I'm still a huge fan of Sakho. Thought himself and Matip would have had a fantastic partnership.

NukaCola

I would like to see him get another chance. Matip and Sakho could be a really excellent partnership in the centre.

Echo take on it......

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sakho-liverpool-defender-speaks-falling-12525076

key point IMO........ "The French international defender has no future at Anfield with ...."

Hero2zero's Comment at the end is amusing to be fair........Sakho, great attitude on the pitch and great that you got into helping the community but your not good enough mate... in your defence the others aren't much better either. The whole defence is a shambles and that includes matip.. he was all over the place on Wednesday night. Lovren is probably the worst centre half we have. Klavan is a championship standard defender at best. Milner is shot and clyne gets into position then passes it backwards... unfortunately for you sakho you need to move on but not because the others are much better.

Lallana won't have the longevity of Kuyt, he runs himself into the ground in games. He's usually shattered by the 70th minute of games. Barring serious injury, he should be able to sustain his level until he's 31. Anything beyond that will be a bonus.

The best comparison I can think of in terms of a former Premier League player is David Platt. He was an energiser bunny throughout his career at Aston Villa, in Serie A and when he first signed for Arsenal. At the end of his second season with Arsenal (96/97) he turned 31 and it was clear that his legs were starting to go. He was then used as a super-sub before being released on a free transfer at the end of the following season.

Sakho was a loose canon
He was no superstar. We lost league because of him.

Obviously isn't good enough and klopp had no business playing him will never play for Liverpool again after that

You would try blame Klopp though.

I'd say Klopp found him hiding somewhere in Melwood on Friday afternoon and after Randall explained who he was Klopp decided to give him a run out.

I thought Kolo cost us the league against WBA.

Oh wait it was Henderson getting sent off.

Oh wait it was Gerrard's slip

Oh wait it was the Palace game.

Who was the guy that came on against City, I think it was City? He was on for 5 mins and Gerrard went over to him and complimented him on a particular tackle/pass...

Think he was only 19 or something.

No one can say for sure.
It would have put us on 83 pts with a game to go, with City on 80 with 2 games to go.

City had Aston Villa and West Ham in the last 2 games at home. No one can say for sure but I would have been amazed if City couldn't have finished the job. City won 10 drew 2 and lost just one game in their last 13 games.

I go back to where the league was in our hands with 3 games to go and that was against Chelsea. When we lost that it was out of our hands no matter what happened, and with 2 games to go it was unlikely City would buckle if we are being honest. I'm not saying the Palace game meant nothing but its not the game that lost us the league.

I got a bit of a shock reading that. Wasn't Bartra linked with us for a few window a la Will Hughes?

And the simple way Mainz prevented build up play is way too familiar to what teams seem to do with us every week now.

It's a pity the Chelsea game is not on Wednesday (ie not in January)
January is a horrible month the best of times throw in 8 games with 4 defeats 3 draws and a 1-0 win against Plymouth with only two goals from open play all month it really has been a Cnut of a month and the absence of alcohol to drown my sorrows hasn't helped

The month of January is not to blame for the current form, rather the number of games shoehorned into it. One day wouldn't make a difference.

Aye, we seem to be resting and still not reaping the benefits.
