Sevilla are the very definition of our bogey team, despite there being one simple way to beat them and I think we all know what it is.

Don't play Moreno.

Reports today that Sessegnon wants to join Liverpool over other clubs if Fulham don't get promoted he wants to play for Klopp.


He could be the cover for the front three I think he now more a winger than a fullback.

He might want it but he probably smashes the British transfer record (transfer between two British clubs) if he leaves despite his age and the fact he plays in the championship.

If he wants to play for Klopp and LFC there shouldn't be a "if Fulham aren't promoted" speel IMO.

He's still a kid if Fulham are promoted he'd be stupid to leave them.,
He's not going to play as many games at a top club as he would with Fulham in the Prem ,

Agent Coulson

It’s great to have a manager again that so many players want to play for it’s been a long time which in turn starts to make the club a top draw for players.

Come on Juve tonight. Would much rather face them than another match with Spurs.

Aggressive move, but if it intimidates our opponents then I'm all for it.

Could finally have a use for Mignolet and Moreno....

Well they’re often the cause of ruining clean sheets so they should be specialists in that area.

Agent Coulson

Ox has played in the 6 Champions League campaigns before joining Liverpool and this is the first time he has made the QF's.

I’d quite fancy playing the 2008 Middlesbrough team that beat them 8-1, I think we could do alright there.

Poor ole Mironov to have this hanging over him going forward "After concluding his investigation, the inspector found no evidence to corroborate the allegations, which he believed were made in good faith by Rhian Brewster.

"Therefore, the Uefa control, ethics and disciplinary body, following the recommendation of the inspector, established there was no evidence that would legally support sanctioning Leonid Mironov and thus decided to close the disciplinary proceedings."

Harry Palmr

These governing bodies manage to leave at least one party swinging in the breeze so often.

What's the British transfer record Van Dyke or Lukaku? He wouldn't be anywhere near that ballpark, surely

Kyle Walker at £50m is the most expensive English player is what I think he means.

Sterling and Stones a close second and third at £49m & £48m.

Is Mo Salah going to be the person who stops the Daily Mail spreading Anti-Islamic propaganda?

I’d highly doubt it myself half that for 17 year maybe.

We don't know if we will be home or away first in the cl qtrs do we?

Andy Robertson is a gentleman....

We are lucky to have a down to earth footballer like him..

Here is his letter to a kid who donated to the food bank over in Liverpool...

"No one wants the full backs jersey"

I think I have something in my eye...

Harry Palmr

He's correct, I'd want Firmino's shirt as well!

Small thing about last night.

When Casillas came out for the 2nd half as he made his way towards the goal, the Kop gave him a fantastic reception. Always been a tradition of applauding away keepers at Anfield, but this was special.

That's brilliant from Andy. What a gesture and very humble as well.

Harry Palmr

That double-barreled surge out of a very tricky defensive situation by Douglas Costa is just the sort of thing Liverpool lack and which Keita will bring.

Looking at Juve I'm not really sure why Can is going there. They have about 5 maybe 6 players who are well past their best now. I can see why they want him alright. He'll bring some youth and energy to them.

Interesting six minutes since you posted that. Juve have been dire, still got to love karma

Agent Coulson

I saw some write today that they don't think Can is going to Juve and he is happy to let that rumour continue rather than thereal club to come out in the media.

That real club being an English one.


Tinfoil hat and all.

Harry Palmr

Going to City?

Interesting hex! Working a treat.

City wouldn't surprise me if he did go there.

Spurs are out, doesn’t suit us in the battle for top 4 with them having more rest days but sure it won’t matter where we finish once we lift the trophy in May.

I think it's Chelsea who will the that result the most

I’d say it suits Juve a little better Harry. :pac:

RugbyLover123

Wouldn't be fearful of Juve at all in the next round. Not sure if that's a great result for us as far as the league goes but great for CL as Spurs along with City were the teams I wanted to avoid!

gimli2112

SSN had some clown (Hoey?) saying you watch Pepe tonight he won't let City settle for a draw after the first leg result, like Liverpool did last night.

Well he was right I guess.

Would be tough over there but you'd be dissapointed not to beat that Juve side at Anfield. By more than one goal even.

Pity alright that Spurs can just concentrate on league points now. They should manage it. Just have to keep ahead of Chelsea I feel.

Spurs are still in the FA Cup so will have at least one league game rearranged for that

noodler

Tempting faith etc, but I'd rather play Juve than spurs.

johnpatrick81

Absolutely delighted Spurs are out!

Would fancy us beating Juve.

shamrock55

That Robertson letter is fantastic, what a thoughtful and humble response

I actually think the opposite.

Losing games does not benefit sides. It's bad for their confidence and morale.

I think we're better than Spurs this season and well able to handle the games ahead and think we'll finish ahead of them.

garra

That loss will knock Spurs, losing like that on the big boy stage.

This year was a great chance for them to really progress in the CL, now they just have the annual "top 4 cup" to play for - and what is the point of that if you aren't going to grab that competition by the balls the following year? Almost feel some sympathy for them, the saps.

In a Liverpool context, that result slightly weakens the opposition for CL QF and will prick Spurs league form bubble too.

Edit: They also have QF place in FA Cup, to focus on..
