Klopp is now the fat kid in a sweetshop on pocket money day

"I'll have one of them, one of them and two of them......."

Ha. I remember that meme for van Gaal.
‘Medical for you, medical for you, medical for everyone’

Fair fucks to the scousers, bit of a challenge for the league next year and I welcome that challenge.

“Other clubs can go out and spend more money and collect top players, yes,” he explained. “But if you bring one player in for £100million or whatever, and he gets injured, then it all goes through the chimney.

“Do I have to do it differently to that? Actually, I want to do it differently. I would even do it differently if I could spend that money.

What stopped them putting a serious challenge to us last season?
Squad depth, losing games against teams in the lower half of the league that they shouldn't and Individual errors, mainly in defence and goalkeeper.

The addition of Van Dijk in January helped the defence, and the recent arrivals of Fabinho, Naby Keita, Xherdan Shaqiri and Alisson will add depth and improved quality, Alisson definately improves the goalkeeping.

They will be improved, but other than Shaqiri, the others will take some time to get used to the Premier league. There will also be an element of getting the blend right, players like Henderson and Milner are going to have to get used to spending time on the bench, and they have lost Can.

They will be closer to us, and likely to be our biggest challengers, but nothing we can't deal with.

Bring it on.... now I wonder if I can get odds on Klopp been gone by this time next year.

What the spending will do is create a defensive mindset in teams they play both at home and away, much the same we had all last season. They have always struggled with lower league teams and when the likes other so called big six do it, then they are in trouble. They only have one way of playing and plenty of teams will exploit that. I will be surprised if they finish in the top 2

Oxlaide Chamberlain out for the season according to Klipperty

 

[City Raider]

Fair play if as reported bid £62m yesterday which was rejected. Knew Chelsea were sniffing around so went straight back in with £66m.

I thought the famous left-back had plenty of practice at that last season.

Spot on mate. Every team but them played that way against us last season and we dealt with it magnificently (100 points!). They will soon discover how difficult it is, although I wouldn't dismiss their chances of top 2.

Because we death with them so brilliantly last year, oh wait.....

Their signings are a huge difference between all the other "this is our year" bullshit that comes out their mouth.

 

[dadnlad]

have the liverpool doctors confirmed yet the bloke throwing all this money about hasnt got concussion

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Suppose net spend that they are so happy talking about won’t be the case in the future, considering the prices they are paying for players atm

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

These lot look like they could be a threat

Do you mean they have re-stocked on bricks, bottles and flares for the 6th October coach attack :)

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Dippers have spent over a billion in net spend in the last decade and they have a League Cup win to show for it , it makes Woodward at the Rags look like a financial genius

 

[Silva_Spell]

Only Alisson (Karius), dspite only playing 1 season, and Shaqiri (Ings) are guaranteed upgrades
Fabinho (Henderson/Can) and Keita (Ox) may turn out to be but can't be said for sure yet

They will be closer, they would have been closer anyway given that even if we improve as a team the liklihood of getting 100pts again is quite low

I can see us 'dropping off' by 10pts and, with their nigh 200m "splurge", them being at least 10pts better off so there will be a race next season.

Alison is better than ederson , why are they building this amazing squad

[bballchinaski]

lol no, allison was a disaster against liverpool and at nou camp, the guy struggles to catch the ball

No he's not. He kept his place as he was the keeper during the qualifying campaign, there's fuck all between them. He's the better shot stopper, Eddie commands his area better and has better distribution.

I think Alisson has far more flaws to his game if I'm honest. He's a good signing but Monchi will be laughing all the way to the bank.

Give us some detail,in what way is he better?

In answer to your incredibly strange second question......To try to catch our amazing squad.
