If they get Werner we lose more ground

As top quality as he is, I personally don't care too much for Werner. I think if I were a Leipzig fan I'd be getting more than a tad sick of him in the media TBH. Unusually for a German, he needs an education on when and when not to speak to the press. Prior to lockdown (I can't get into the BCD crap so haven't a clue how the Bundesliga is going on its return), he was involved in a title race and had just got through to the quarter-finals of the European Cup. And all his focus seemed to be on was openly flirting non-stop with L'pool! To then seemingly trying to play L'pool and Utd off against each other for a bigger salary.

FWIW, I don't happen to think we've ever been that interested even before CV changed the transfer landscape. (I don't know. Just an educated guess as the 'flirtings' been all one way/ there's been absolutely nottin out of L'pool/ RBL openly say they've had no contact from us And since the initial van Dijk fiasco, which ended up costing us another £20 million, the club has gone proper old school on their dealings with next to nothing coming out. And when they do feed anything, it's usually part of a smoke and mirrors game and they're actually after someone the media has no clue over.). But if we are, then he's been going the right way around talking himself, literally, out of a move. We value character and the person before the player in many respects along with them being the right footballing fit. And he's coming across as a 'me first' player and not a 'team-first' one. Which just doesn't fly under Klopp.

I mean skill-set wise, he ticks all the boxes to come in for any of the front three without a big drop-off. And the rumoured release clause makes him great value. (Or at least until the bottom fell out of the market through the pandemic.). He's a quality footballer who's not reached his ceiling yet.

But I think he's being pretty disrespectful to Leipzig to be honest and I'm finding the whole affair tiresome.

And, with Taki flashing more than enough to interchange with Bobby in his role, and Brewster set to be a big part of the squad going forward, the need to splash out major money on a forward just isn't there.

Yeah maybe I'm overreacting .
Winning 3 titles on the trot is a big ask in today's modern game..
If we get another CB this summer, I'm expecting it to be neck and neck again once new season starts.

What gets me is that over the last couple of months Liverpool fans are spouting this socialist thing and that they have always been socialist and so has the City whereas the City actually grew due to capitalism due to the docks exploiting the slave trade in the late 1700's to mid 1850's.

How timely this post has become with this ‘kneeling’ today. Almost prophetic in irony.

Oh undoubtedly.

City and L'pool are a Country mile apart from anything else in this league that's never seen consistency like these two have shown over the last 2 years in it's entire history. Absolutely mindblowing the respective outputs over the past two/ three seasons. And I can't see anything other than it being a two-horse affair over the next good few years. So far are we both ahead of everyone else.

I also think we're both the best equipped to cope with the unprecedented situation we sadly now find ourselves in. The two best footballing sides in the country, lead by the two best teachers in the country who coach their way constantly through games. With the style of football we both play, rarely giving it away controlling games, it should be just like playing a training game for both.

We look forward to the challenge again next year. As I type I wouldn't like to call it either way.

Hi everyone,hope you are all doing ok in this strange situation we are going through at the moment.
I've lurked on this forum for a while (amongst others) and have noticed it sometimes gets a bit fruity regarding LFC.
My point is when did it start what incident\s caused it for you .
Regards and look after yourselves and families.
Jim.

For me it was the dead chicken,I already knew they were obsessed with grief & just loved a good old mourn but this was the iceing on the cake for me....

Liverpool "take a knee in the centre circle", there'd be a queue if it was in the groin!

'Liverpool kneel in support of George Floyd'

This has been on the sky sports app for well over 24hours now.

When we did the fourmidables season and topped it off with the fa cup the headlines never made it past being up for 24hours.

Surprised? Nope not in the slightest.

City have been consistent for the last decade Liverpool have had 2 good seasons.

On best equipped to deal with what’s happening at the moment? Can’t be all sun and roses on Liverpool’s finances that they were considering furloughing staff. This will hit everyone with match day income effected, I don’t think your owners have the capability to protect the club from losses like Mansour can. Money ball will come back into play and either one of the front three will get off loaded. Your history chums in Stretford probably have a better chance than Liverpool medium to long term of surviving this with the revenues they create.
