Liverpool 2016/17

Oh. lol

Typical Klopp so far it would appear.

Theyll get top 4

Maybe top 14 but not top 4.

Us, Rags and Chelsea have by far the strongest squads.

Arsenal or Spurs for 4th.

From another site:
"Football League have announced that if Liverpool are drawn at home in the League Cup second round draw on Wednesday then the tie will be switched to the oppositions ground, with Liverpool potentially having to pay their opponents compensation for loss of Anfield gate receipts."

Be interesting to see how they start, klopp would have had a full pre-season to get them ready this time focus groups on his pressing game. Think they could run it close this year for top four imo

Kloop is right, Liverpool were unplayable at times last season. They've added a good player in Mane and like posters have said a full pre-season under Kloop will do them good. Also no European football to worry about.

I really think they can make top 4. Going to be an extremely competitive season IMO.

I think they can and will start very strong but the high intensity pressing game they play can't be kept up for the season

That stand behind a stand seems to have taken forever to build.

Does Pep make his teams press as hard?

Peps teams retain the ball for longer periods of the game so are not burning as much energy chasing the ball.Afte watching Liverpool last season they couldn't keep up that pace for longer than two games

Ah fair enough. Cheers.

We have a tough start, 4 out of 5 away from home, with Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and Leicester in that. Could end up 8 or 9 points adrift straight away. Also, some stupid fixture scheduling in pre-season. Why add Roma and Mainz and flog the players more than necessary???? The high-pressing will be easier this year with no Europe. We were constantly playing last season, but get more rest this time and more preperation time. Transfers are underwhelming, lost a lot of the squad, injuries already, doesn't look great. Having said that, this is definitely our year!!!!!!!!!

The advantage Klopp had at Dortmund that he won't have at Liverpool was a six-week mid-season break. Yes, there were friendlies before the Bundesliga resumed, but it's not like playing at high intensity right through the busy Christmas / New Year period and all of January.

As you say, it will be very difficult to keep up that high pressing game for nine months, rather than two four-month periods with a six week break.

I reckon it's their year!

What's happening with Sakho? Without him you look very light at the back. Moreno makes Kolarov look world class and Lovren is inconsistent.

Mane looks like he'll fit in well though.

Johnny Woodgate is their new Spanish scout.
Good move for the lad, hope he fails.

Calm down, calm down!

I wonder if he'll be just as big a sicknote doing that.

ITK chatter is that he's out for 2 months with a broken finger.

Jonathan woodgate?

Jonathan woodgate?

Ya but I had it wrong he's gone blind. Lee Bowyer supposedly. Not able to scout for at least 6 months. Poor lad.
