Maybe he wanted to put on a show in front of an American crowd?

I get that, but the way he grabbed the ball off of Gotze showed a huge ammount of disrespect, besides i have'nt see any hint that he's going to become the new Salah, closer to Balotelli i think with the way he believes his own hype.

The kid is just 19 and still a kid the same age as TAA he has two and a half full seasons of senior football behind and still 6/7 years from reaching peak years as a pro and plenty of time to learn to be a team player.


He has everything needed to be one of the best in the world under the right coach and playing with the right players.


Is he worth €70m no is he worth €70m in this market yes he probably is worth that risk his value will only increase over the next couple of seasons.

Why spend 70 million on a player who plays in a position where we are already covered?
Our front 3 work well as a unit so playing him with them would unbalance the team as it would shackle Keita & give him and Fabinho a load of work in midfield when we're not in possession.

Our front 3 work well as as unit.


Who replaces any one of them when they get injured or rested...... Broken Sturridge or Solanke.


The club has the money to buy a player be that Fekir or Pulisic or A another we need a player of skill and talent and in this market that player will cost £50/60/70m

Just look at the price tag paid for player across the park who plays that same type of role that is the going rate.

We need good cover to rotate,give different options,during games without a big fall in quality,ings,solanke,sturridge and lallana didnt contribute enough when given the oppurtunity last year.If two of those front three go out with injury where are we finishing?Squads win leagues,not teams.

Sofa Spud

Team news for tonight...


Liverpool team: Grabara, Camacho, Van Dijk, Klavan, Moreno, Fabinho, Milner, Lallana, Salah, Mane, Solanke.
Substitutes: Kelleher, Gomez, Sturridge, Grujic, Shaqiri, Robertson, Origi, Phillips, Jones, Markovic, Ojo, Woodburn, Chirivella.

Harry Palmr

Clyne V City poor in attacking positions again, game on freesports until 10.

Surprised Markovic and original are still with the squad.

Turtyturd

Is Harry Maguire making his United debut?

Shakiri was brought into do that no?
Also have Lallana & Brewster when he gets fit too.
Spending that much on a player as cover would make a Man City or PSG blush, it's not going to increase his quality or value just being rotated either.

Citing an injured 18 year old who won't be back till winter doesn't strengthen your case.

What's wrong with making moneybags clubs blush?

Lallana, Shakiri & Sturridge are likely the cover but I expect Brewster to play then as players are unlikely to get tired in September or October.
We are not going to pay 70 million on a squad player. If he gets offered first team football elsewhere he'll take it & he's right to.

They win titles and don't care who blushes when they spend millions on players as they know that wins titles.


Mahrez cost the same price and he won't be a regular starter City now have at least 7 quality players to pick from and rotate for a front 3.


That is why the win titles.


We have broken Sturridge always injured Lallana and a couple of kids.


Who blushes really when they win titles.

Harry Palmr

ERG89 you sound a bit out of touch, this is the era of super-expensive subs. Liverpool were running on empty for the last month of last season, that needs to change with a deep squad.

Shaqiri is a good backup, but Sturridge is a total unknown now, and Lallana is pretty rubbish in the front three... wouldn’t have him near that position if we could help it. He should only ever be considered in CM. In our current squad, I’d much prefer Gini being pushed into the front three over him even.

We really could do with one more genuine option for the front three as backup.. doesn’t need to be as good as our first choices, but just do there isn’t such a massive drop off.

Gbear

It's not just players off the bench. If you can afford to have a CL group game away to someone like Inter with the full team and rest one of Mane or Salah the following weekend at home to Bournmouth that's a huge boost to the team.

Turtyturd

Bit strange to constantly run down our back up options then complain about upgrading them.

brevity

The bench needs to be an extension of the first 11 not a bunch of cheapo misfits.

Agent Coulson

The money is there to buy that player as proven with Fekir so Klopp knows and wants another top quality attacking player.


We also know Klopp is prepared to wait for the player he wants.



Next week's camp within driving distance of Lyon may still add more noise to the Fekir story.

I don’t think anyone’s doing both of those things simultaneously though?

Personally, I don’t think our backups up top are quite good enough to push for the league, so I’d love just one good upgrade.

But we don't know if it was agreed pre-match that he could take penalties? Gotze might have picked the ball up in the wrong?

Shame about Keita missing out.

Is he just being rested or what’s up with him?

Beating the ‘if City weren’t in it’ Champions could be a good confidence boost going into the new season.

Agent Coulson

Lallana, Sturridge, Solanke & Origi all the score while Mane and Salah both rip hamstrings.

Be nice to win but not too bothered. Just avoid injuries and start the season with a full squad and I'll be happy!

The cameo against us reeked of desperation to score, grabbed the ball of Gotze for the penalty, did'nt square it for their third goal, he's all out for himself and he would'nt fit in with the kind of selfless type of football we play.
Just my opinion of the few games i've seen him play, i'm open to correction.

No its a valid opinion. Dont change your mind based on what I said. I just meant when I saw him I thought he played really well. Maybe my lack of sleep didnt pick up on his Sturridgeness with the ball. Hopefully for his sake he was only being selfish because he wants to leave.

But I would totally worry if he was always like that. That been said I doubt Klopp would sign him if he was.

Is this game in tv apart from the LFC channel??

Agent Coulson

Reddit is always a very helpful place to check out they are all friendly over there and the SoccerStreams pages is always helpful.

Muahahaha

anyone getting bloody basketball?

We were running on fumes the season before last too. That's the style not the squad. End of season we will have big matches where we might need to stay winning which means we will play our strongest XI.
One day we're after Dembele, then Fekir & now Pulisic. I don't take any of it serious yet some seem to think we're after them based on loose evidence.

Harry Palmr

City game - first half rubbish, second half much better

Clyne - meh, esp across the halfway line
Jones - excellent imaginative user of the ball
Camacho - very promising again
Milner - indefatigable
Salah - should have had a hat-trick in 4 minutes
Kelleher - confident.
Sturridge/Lallana blunt as an attack.
Woodburn quiet
Solanke - a few nice touches away from the goal.
Mane - mixing the chaotic - blew two good chances, and the crisp.
Grujic - some tidy feet for a big man.

The camera angle is genuinely vertiginous, Liverpool should be almost invisible to Utd in that kit.

Sofa Spud

Great pace on Lallana and Moreno to snuff out that counter

Ken Tucky

Can understand United supporters dislike of Maureen. Parking the bus in a meaningless match. Bloke is tapped.
Hi all...long time lurker. Going to join the madness for the new season

Up the pressure a notch and there's a big win available here. Man Utd are a shambles.
