Yeah i think we might just get it 5/6 wins and a couple of draws maybe if we dont mess up and the others ovetake us they will have deserved it as they have some tough fixtures

There is a bit of a fear that we don't improve significantly on our 2017ppg ..... 2ppg is a fair improvement on 1.3ppg.

Hard to forget just how dogsh1t we were for much of Jan & Feb. I feared klopp's jaw was going to detach at times.

We need Coutinho to get some bit of form, he seemed to improve towards the end of the game

Coutinho needs the other lads to step up too.
I wonder if klopp buys a proper striker would he chance playing firmino in milner's advanced wing back role.

Bobby is a dinger at tracking back.

Spurs have 3 points, a game in hand and 9 goal difference, they have a bit of wiggle room. City are more realistic for us to pass

The gd thing is a bit of a myth. If we gain 6 pts on them there gd gets worse over 2 games and ours gets better over 2 games so there would probably only be a goal or two in it at that stage. I don't think we will catch spurs I think they are nailed on for top 4 BTW.

Ouchies

We have only a GD of 6 & 3 better than Utd & Arsenal respectively, who both have two games in hand on us and are 4 & 6 pts behind us.

Interestingly enough Arsenal's 2017 ppg is the same as ours.

They lose two games by a goal and we win a game by a goal and we are level on points but 6 goals worse off. It might not be a factor if they get hammered etc but at the moment it is

No he isn't Sead Kolasinac got there just ahead of him!

German newspaper Bild reports on Tuesday that several clubs have already submitted offers to Sead Kolasinac via his agents. Kolasinac sees his Schalke contract end in the summer and as such clubs can approach him and make offers on wages and general financial package, ahead of a free transfer in the summer.

Bild report that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are one of those clubs. Schalke have offered around €3m per year, but Bild believe Kolasinac can expect to get €6m or more turning up at a big club as a free agent.

The 23 year old has been repeatedly linked to Liverpool and would be a good addition for Klopp. Primarily a left back, Kolasinac can also play in central defence and as a left winger, providing Klopp which much need quality options in several positions.

Liverpool can now only wait to see if Kolasinac prefers their offer to others. Six clubs have come in for the player so far, and it would be no surprise to see others put their own proposals forward to the player.

Muahahaha

Just looking at the fixtures .......... Everton game at 12.30 on Saturday 1st April, Brazil playing Paraguay on the Wednesday (early AM GMT time). ...... Tuesday evening local time I think.

Coutinho and Firmino will probably be back in Liverpool late (very) Wed UK time after a 12 hour ish flight.

Basically Thurs & Fri on Merseyside ....... less than ideal prep.

Sad news about Ronnie Moran.

He was a vital component of Liverpool's dominance in the 70s and 80s under various managers.

His influence and impact should not be underestimated.

Agent Coulson

RIP.

From Mr Liverpool written by his son.

Fernando Torres asking Sammy Lee

'Who is that old fella walking around the pitches?' explained Paul Moran. 'Sammy took him down a corridor to show him pictures and trophies. From then on, Fernando never did anything but say hello to Ronnie each morning.'

Buford T. Justice XIX

So sad to hear of Ronnie Morans passing. A true gentleman and Liverpool to the core.

Rest in peace.

kfallon

Ah Jaysus I just logged in here and saw the news, sad day for the club!

RIP

Sad to hear. Some career he had. Lived and worked through some amazing times for the club, must have some really great stories.

Legend. RIP.

Club legend

One of the greatest and most selfless men we've ever had at our great club. Thanks for everything, Ronnie.

So people going on about Liverpools form against bottom team but ignoring that those games were away from home, when playing such teams at home Liverpool have found it easier

Everton - Top 10
Bouremouth - Bottom 10
Stoke - Top 10 A
WBA - Top 10 A
Palace - Bottom 10
Watford - Bottom 10 A
Southampton - Top 10
West Ham - Bottom 10 A
Middlesbrough - Bottom 10

So going by Liverpools form the games in bold are the only ones they should be worried about

We lost to Swansea at home just off the top of my head.

Terrible news with Ronnie Moran.

It will be a very emotional game come April 01st.

Reverse fixtures

Everton 0 V 1 Liverpool
Bouremouth 4 V 3 Liverpool
Liverpool 4 V 1 Stoke
Liverpool 2 V 1 WBA
Palace 2 V 4 Liverpool
Liverpool 6 V 1 Watford
Southampton 0 V 0 Liverpool
Liverpool 2 V 2 West Ham
Middlesbrough 0 V 3 Liverpool

If Liverpool can repeat those score lines that is 20 points and giving them a total of 76 points

Liverpool away form V those teams in the bottom have has been bad yes they lost to Swansea at home but that was Liverpools 1st loss at home in a year

Dropped points this season

Lost away to Burnley - not good
Drew away to Spurs - good result
Drew home and Man Utd - ok result
Drew away to Southampton - ok result
Lost away to Bournemouth - not good
Drew home to West Ham - not good
Drew away to Sunderland - not good
Drew away to Man Utd - good result
Lost home to Swansea - not good
Drew home to Chelsea - ok result
Lost away to Hull - not good
Lost away to Leicester - not good
Drew away to Man city - good result

Anyone else feeling international break induced, cabin-fever-like symptoms yet? All this talk of points per game and breakdowns of the last nine games is making me twitchy.

Not to mention the monotony of the whole discussion, alot of counting chickens going on.

Post about Ronnie Moran from the captain:

The reason being captain of Liverpool Football Club is such a huge honour is because legendary figures like Ronnie Moran held it before I did.

I wasn't lucky enough to work with Ronnie but I had the great fortune of being in his company on the occasions when he came to Melwood to walk around the training pitch and although we all regarded him as a true great, he was as humble and down to earth as anyone you could ever come across.

I know I speak for all of the current players when I say that we are all deeply saddened by Ronnie's passing and the greatest tribute we can pay to him is to give everything we've got for Liverpool Football Club just as he did each and every single day during the 49 years he spent here. YNWA

Big time. I couldn't bring myself to watch the England game,I very rarely watch friendlies. Did any of our lads get injured?

Had it on while doing a bit of work and didn't notice any injuries.

From what I saw, Lallana played well and was unlucky not to have put England in front, he hit the post after a nice run from midfield.

wouldn't like to see Origi leave. Still young & has potential.

Harry Palmr

It would maker no sense on any level really. Even for him it's better to stay.

Oh yes, international break = stupid transfer news.

GBX

As you said HP, its mini silly season. I did see a headline stating he wants to emulate Lukaku - whether that means do the PL rounds on loan etc before ending back up at LFC who knows. But if he can return with goals a la Lukaku, id be delighted.

Mr.H

If we signed a top class striker I wouldnt be opposed to sending him out on loan to a premier league side. Maybe Brighton or Newcastle next season?? Nothing wrong with being with a newly promoted team working hard to stay in the league. A lot of pressure to score goals

Boom_Bap

I'm not sure about Origi. I think I'd like to see him and Sturridge being replaced with a big signing that would be a starter. The money from sale and wages would be plenty for someone decent.

Origi needs to work still on alot of his game, he needs to learn how to hold the ball up better, not to run down blind alleys, to use his strenght and height better.....at this stage I'd like to see money invested in someone that can do that naturally.

I think that if Ings gets over his injury, he is a better option, a more prolific option than Origi and a way more annoying option for opposition defenders.

I think everyone associated with the club is willing Ings back to full fitness and to return to what he was before the injuries but it's something we cannot bank on. Two major injuries and two years out of the game - if nothing else, he will take time to return to a level of fitness and sharpness that is needed at the top level.

Secondly, Origi is nothing special at this stage of his career. He is still developing but everything from his finishing and accuracy to his hold up play and his industry are just average as far as I'm concerned. I worry seeing him as our best attacking option on the bench because, while he has scored some important goals, he has also been a passenger in plenty of games.

If he goes, he goes. I won't lose sleep over it.

dogbert27

If Origi leaves Liverpool he'll more than likely end up emulating Benteke than Lukaku.

Origi gave an interview with some Belgian newspaper where he said he was frustrated with this season. It doesn't allude to him leaving at all...

When he is given opportunities he has to do more. I hope he sees that.
He got a chance recently vs Burnley & City but failed to deliver much positive.
