Yep very perceptive at being wrong.

On Sunday, I hope we do start Sturridge. It might not work out, but it's worth a try. We're very predictable recently and need to do something different. Lallana will surely start anyhow, even if Firmino is fit to play.

Given West Ham's injury problems we should be able to win, but there have been a good few occasions that teams have had injury problems against us and it has somehow nearly made them play better, which is bizarre.

Must have touched a nerve eh starpool.

The hypocrisy of you calling me the least constructive poster here after what you just said about Augeo. Well done......again.

Same old same old in here, if you critique Klopp then you want him to fail.
Can you not put on your big boy pants and see how ridiculous you look when you make assertions like that.

Things aint changed then

Yis should put all the ****e aside for the last 10 days of the season lads and plenty of time to have a go at each other over the next few months

Despite what that nutter Roy Keane says about it being beneath big clubs, I'll gladly celebrate a top 4 finish if we can nab it. It's a huge 9 days ahead for us imo. And getting top 4 ahead of Arsenal is no small deal considering Klopp hasn't been here long.
Not sure if Stoke away or West Ham away is much different. But Sunderland home and Everton home is 6 points guaranteed for Arsenal.

So really if Arsenal win tomorrow then we 100% must win our last two. (stating the obvious I know)

So I wonder if Klopp has been setting up for this one as a must win all week during training.
Coz if Arsenal draw tomorrow then a draw would probably do us too and there has been a more cautious approach from us lately.
So does Arsenals result tomorrow influence our approach Sunday?

Nope Liverpool have to win no matter the Arsenal result, get the 4th place clinched ASAP

Aye, fair enough. But was that not the case last weekend too?
We didn't look like a side who really needed to win last week

On a related note i just been made aware Ajax have won as many PL titles as Liverpool I did not even know Ajax could compete for a PL title :pac:

Chelsea are champions, hope spurs dont go on holiday now....

~Rebel~

Fair play to Chelsea, some achievement. Never looked in doubt throughout the whole year, which is pretty incredible given the twists and turns we've come to expect.


On a side note, just looked back over last seasons table... for all the talk coming into this season of how strong Spurs were last year, we've already matched their points total and still have 2 games to play. We're all a bit disappointed not to have pushed on further, but that's really not to be sniffed at considering the position we're coming from.

I don't generally have a problem with Augeo, I agree with him on quite a few things. I do feel though that he is a bit nitpicky at times with Klopp.

You on the other hand, I have no time for. I've made enough eyes bleed by having this conversation with you so I'm done with you for now.

Fair enough.

If Arsenal draw and we draw then it goes down to the Middlesboro game and I'd take that 10 times out of 10 right now but yeah in an ideal world we'd just win the last 2 games regardless.
It's not really the question I was asking a few posts back but nevermind.

I don't think Klopp will start Sturridge over Origi on Sunday

Liverpool making a move on another helpless young Brazilian

The Saints can lose Rodrygo, main player of the basic categories, for Liverpool. The British will come to Brazil in the next few days to try to hire the 16-year-old striker. An official proposal had already been made earlier.

The goal of the Reds is to guarantee the hiring now and count on the player in the future, like Vinicius Junior, of Flamengo, in Real Madrid.

President Modesto Roma has denied GloboEsporte.com that he has authorized negotiations with Liverpool. He says that the objective now is to make the First Boy's professional contract possible. The young entrepreneurs did not return the contacts of the report.

The pragmatist in me says I think it has to. If they draw, we just make bloody sure we don't lose. (think back to going all out against Chelsea in 2014 when a draw would have done).

Lallana or Lucas in midfield I think is the key decision. If Arsenal drop points, then Lucas sits right in front of (or between) the CB's, with Can as another shield just in front. Then likely Lallana, Wijnaldum, Coutinho, and either Firmino or Sturridge (depending on Firmino's fitness).

But if Arsenal win, then I think we have to go; Can, Lallana, Wijnaldum - Coutinho, Sturridge, Firmino/Origi (again pending Firmino fitness).

I generally agree but you get shown up playing at 80% Klopp style.
I was all for Daniel starting (and still am) but he has one goal in 6 starts. (It was his most recent away to Sun.)

I think Firmino and Lucas to the bench though.

I know many think Istanbul & 2001 are great (and they are), but for me its the Double in 1986.

I remember exactly where I was and how I felt, how I celebrated for Kenny's goal against Chelsea and the equaliser in the Cup Final against Everton in the Cup Final in 86. I was 10 and a little over excited. Good times.

Hopefully next May I'll get to be 42 and a little over excited as we win another Double.

He doesnt often say one thing and then do the opposite like other managers.

I'd say he'll start Sturridge if Bobby isn't quite up to it.
I hope he does. Not to be cruel about Origi lately but jesus.........

@ Shamrock, If you know the dates you're going then book it. Why would you not book it?
Not to be an arse but I dont really get why you'd be bothered, maybe you have kids. Anyway, book it and play safe.

How long before clubs just go to the source and start sponsoring whole favelas? Providing food and basic necessities, with the contractual guarantee that any decent footballers found within, are tied to the club.

Probably not, but I think he should, as do most people I reckon. Depends on Firmino's fitness possibly, although if he missed out Lucas would stay in if fit, and Lallana in the front 3, which is not his best role.

More sign all the Brazilians linkage - Mirror going with the U23 Olympics star Luan
This story reads as being far more plausible than is typical with background info, he is also exactly the type of player Klopp would want and we need (would also mean no chance of signing Oxlade Chamberlain)

I wonder if we'll turn Luan into a DM as well?

20 goals in 86 club games.... he's 24.
Ricardo Oliveira scored almost twice what he did last season over there at 36 years old... the PL is a huge jump in quality IMO.
Uninspiring IMO.

Allan is starting for Hertha Berlin in the penultimate BL game of the season - they are sixth but can finished go fifth and so get closer to avoiding the EL qualifiers. KO 2.30

Rhian Brewster played the whole of the England v Ireland U17s Euro Quarter Final, England won 1-0 and play Turkey in the semis

BorneTobyWilde

Funny how really strange incidents are happening to the detriment of Liverpools chances of a top 4 finish.
Milner misses a penalty, which is very strange and now the strange penalty in the Man City Leicester game. I think a higher power is influencing and it's not meant to be. I fully expect West Ham to win tomorrow. This is going to be a crash and burn end to the season.
Some things are meant to be, like Dudek's save in champions league final, a save at point blank range that comes off his glove and shoots vertically up into the air. It was not natural what that ball did. It was simply meant to be.

BorneTobyWilde wrote: »

So City win 2-1, Mahrez not converting that penalty you mention.

City now in 3rd, 2 pts above us with a GD 5 superior to ourselves, they've scored 1 more than us and conceded less too.

With 2 games to go you'd think it unlikely we'll finish above them, never know though. We could be above them again tomorrow
