Liverpool only have one winger and he was away at the Afcon so who'd supply him with ammo?

That wasn't the point though.

Bar Mane we have nobody with more than that. Plus Palace are really, really, really fu*king bad.
Same with Defoe. 14 goals for Sunderland is some achievement

Its better to have your goals spread out over several players like we have. It would be nice to have a player that can really punish teams while also doing a good job off the ball.

Obviously - our game is different - Klopp hates strikers!

Defoe would make much more sense for Liverpool as a "turn and shoot" player - he could link with the likes of Mane plus Lallana and Coutinho

Ings may have been the fox in the box type player we could have done with in January.


Such a pity he got injured he wouldn't get near the starting 11 but against packet defenses he might just have been the best option to come off the bench.


We'll near know now maybe just wishful thinking on my part.

If this is true the club asking a fan to bring a death certificate, then football clubs need to wise up

Shane Burns
‏@MediaShaneBurns

A United fan has been banned from applying from future away games as he didn't show up for Sunday's trip to Leicester because his MUM DIED.

He was told to bring the death certificate to the ticket office to prove it

noodler

Danny Ings.

Never has so much potential been pondered over a player who played so little for us.

Turtyturd

Sturridge? :pac:

Fake news ? Looked at the twitter account. He is freelance but writes Daily Mail. He is a City fan and the way he responds to any question makes him look like a teenager. I would wonder if that story is just City vs Utd crap which is bigger than the LFC vs Utd crap.

I was not trying to have a dig at clubs, i feel sorry for that fan i mean having that message sent to you after losing your mum it is pretty low. hmmm if all ticket offices do that then football has crossed the line

No. I understood that completely from you. But I would be wary of that "news" as it does look like a dig at Utd by a City fan. Only on the basis of the credibility of who is carrying the news.

Turtyturd

It must be true. Otherwise whoever is on watch tonight would've been in telling him how wrong it is by now.

Signing below average premiership players to help the squad is not the way to go. Both exceptionally meh.

Osmosis Jones

Long is no better than Origi, plenty of better players in the squad than Brady.

I kind of get that feeling aswell with joe Gomez, played a handful of games at lb a season a half ago and some people were overstating him coming back.

BorneTobyWilde

Chelsea only winning 3 of their last 6, maybe it's the start of a dip of sorts.

Disagree they are below average.

Disagree they are meh.

And I don't seriously think either should have been signed.

Lets stop being overly harsh on Irish players to prove a point.

BorneTobyWilde

We've only lost 1 more game than Chelsea have in last ten .

Ye the title is in the bag for them the key thing for us is that they haven't got it wrapped up before they play utd.

Well Shane Long cant regularly get into a Southampton team in 11th position and Brady is playing for a team in 12th having played half the season in the Championship, I dont think its overly harsh to say they are below average premier League players is it? I think both can do a very decent job but at best they are average with all due respect to them.

The have a nightmare April .
Need to hang in there, all 4 teams that is. They have to face United Away, Everton Away , City at home, Bournemount Away in April .
Some tricky games before that too.
If one of the 4 teams in top 5 can win 10 in a row it's game on. Might not be us, but someone can .
I'm not aiming for top 4, I'm aiming for top 2. We are one point off of that.
Wish we would talk of top 2 and not top 4 .
I want to be runners up if not winners.

Wijnaldum was pretty happy when Mane scored the first.

Proven premiership players that score goals both at domestic and international level.

As I said I think they would benefit our squad.

Matip played 6 minutes up top, hardly a reason to keep a limited Carroll. If Benteke cant make it work not many would in fairness.

We could use this 'weakness' as a strength - by playing so deep, teams completely open themselves for a decent header of the ball, so I think we need to be going out and getting one, as a plan B - so whether they defend deep, or high, we have a practical option.

I agree Carroll or Benteke are just a waste given their prices versus how little they'd play - but someone like a Llorente could have been gotten cheap and given another possibility.

Equally I wouldn't be opposed to someone like Mitrović, not really getting his game at Newcastle because of their own style of play, a bit nuts, but does something none of our centre forwards can do, would be available for a decent price, and is young enough to improve - still only 22. Frankly, i'd feel better about throwing him on for 20 minutes of desperation than Sturridge. Good workrate too, so you could even start him against the Bus Parking teams, and his presence might force them to defend a little higher, giving us a little of that space in behind we've been struggling to find.

Or ****it, let's bring back Crouchie!

I'd say they are average.

Long is the polar opposite of someone like Sturridge when he isn't scoring. Provides assists, an aerial and outlet, physical out ball etc.

Brady has done it at the business end of massive international games and a major tournament.
Goal in Bosnia, assist at home, goal vs Italy, peno vs France.


I won't go overboard on this but I think both have better attributes than alot of below average EPL players even if Long's dont translate to goals often enough.

We got his best years. Also got a bargain in Suarez for 57 million when he went, although a shame we wasted 800,000 on Carroll.

SM01

Can is having a poor run presently but we've seen plenty to know there's a good footballer in there. I don't get the animosity he's on the receiving end of in the media or in here from a few. The contract stand-off might grate with some but it's nothing new or unusual to us as supporters for a contract negotiation.

Agent Coulson

Klopp is taking the squad off to Spain for a week of warm weather training.

Harry Palmr

They should try and squeeze in a friendly against a pro team when there.

At Melwood last week, while Klopp was continuing to take responsibility for Liverpool’s 2017 slump, the captain, Jordan Henderson, called a team meeting without the manager’s knowledge. The anaemic display at Hull City was the signal for some home truths, with Champions League qualification in danger of joining the Premier League title, the FA Cup and the EFL Cup on Liverpool’s list of unfulfilled targets. The release of anger and return to form that shattered Spurs’ 11-game unbeaten run reflected an acceptance within the dressing room that blame did not rest with Klopp alone.

I see the Graun are also leading with Aguero exit talk, pity he is so sneaky and a bit injury prone. I'd take him over Sanchez

Well worth a cheeky bid for him alright, unreal player and would suit us quite well I think. Man City would be nuts to sell him to us though.

Zero chance of Aguero signing..... slightly more chance of Sanchez signing but that's still approaching zero chance.

I thought only young lads caught Harry's eye.

What we have a better chance of is seizing upon the transfer shuffle that comes from players like that moving. Like, if Madrid move for Aguero, we should then be moving big for Benzema, especially at the rumored price of 30ish million.

Osmosis Jones

Yeah Madrid are due to kick out a top player, they got rid of Ozil and Di Maria for next to no reason, we might as well get in line for whoever's next.

Can't really see benzema wanting to sprint to chase down folk for 90 mins for us

Arsenal be an option for him alright, or Chelsea to replace Costa.
