Liverpool Thread 2014/15

City get a lot of flack about our spending but what Liverpool doing now to Southampton is nothing short of asset stripping another club of there best players I thought FFP was going to stop all this?

So what about Southampton Asset stripping players they bought from other clubs to move up the ladder. FFP is corrupt but not because of situations like this.

Tell the last club to by another clubs best 3 players?

Liverpool's defensive frailties are caused, in equal parts, by the personnel involved and the tactics employed. Flanagan is young, unproven, and liable to errors given he's just starting out in the game. Johnson is a liability defensively, Skrtel can't defend without trying to rip off an opponents shirt, Agger is decent, Sakho looks quick but positionally naive. When you combine that with a set of tactics which involves high energy pressure early on, then you over expose your defence, and you run the legs out of your midfield too early leaving them unable to provide sufficient cover later in games. Rodgers needs to address both of these issues, his signings so far haven't helped the personnel, and I can't see him changing his tactical philosophy to address that issue either. Liverpool will be in a fight for a Champion's League spot this season, but I can't see them pushing the likes of City and Chelsea anything like they did last year. I see us and Chelsea being the top 2, in some order, then the next 3 being made up of Liverpool, Arsenal and United, again in some order.

Yes, correct. It's half personnel, half style. The best examples are the Stoke and Crystal Palace 5-3 and 3-3 games. I think the Can signing is with a view of him eventually being some sort of hard man in midfield. By the way, about this, here's the elephant in the room: Allen/Henderson/Lucas and Gerrard/Coutinho/Henderson. Which midfield offers better balance? Many of us are increasingly voicing what must be done. I hope Rodgers is brave enough to do it.

As far as defenders, Sakho will turn out fine, I think Rodgers wants Lovren to be his partner....but man, that price. Anyway, if we have the money and can afford it I'll let the suits worry about it.

Agger is made of glass, will probably be sold but 1 year ago we could've gotten 20M+ for him, now 10M at most. Skrtel should stay as cover.

Sakho may get better in his 2nd season.

I have no idea. Although I would argue/debate that Lambert/lallana and lovren are Southamptons best 3 players. I would replace lovren with Shaw and lovren with Schneiderlein (spelling). Although granted its 3 players from 1 team in a summer if lovren goes to the dippers.

Not surprised by Chelsea at all, First off, Chelsea are first class set of fucking thundercunts. Secondly, there was a big rivalry between them when Benitez was manager and when Mourinho was there first time. There were some huge matches in there, including two Champions League semi-finals and an FA Cup semi.

I do wonder how all those Liverpool fans who were pontificating about 'slowly growing your club organically by bringing your own talent through' when talking unfavourably about City last season, feel about their new signings from Southampton.

Theyre English so its ok. Fact that they're being linked with every player that's has had a half decent WC seems to be ok too. Mentioned this earlier on in the thread,it was Rodgers who said "we aren't a club who spend, but instead bring our players through the ranks. He said it on Football Focus and the two players they showed when saying it? Sturridge and Henderson.

50m debt to balance against increased tv revenue. Books need to balance through ins and outs. Spent 40m already of Suarez fee. Not much else comming in and still needs a defence, strengthen squad depth and a replacement for el chompo. Chompianos!
