Is he Kloppite or Gregory Peckery?

Wish they’d make it easier and merge.... how about Klipperty Peckory?

Or Peckshite?

It's boring now. Forget them. They are not relevant in the new world. In the new world our coach can take off like in Back to the Future.

Its funny their women's team - promised a One Club, One Team mentality like you see at the bigger women's clubs - Us, Chelsea, Arsenal.

Yet they play and train at Tranmere, the new shiny LFC training ground has no pitches for the women and they're generally totally disregarded. No wonder all their stars f**k'd off elsewhere a few seasons ago. Hope the mens dippers follow them down the hole. God knows they deserve it.

This Means More*

Now hearing Werner is getting a £12 million signing on fee.
So maybe Liverpool just couldn't compete with Chelsea financially on this one.

I thought Liverpool had big big money to splash? Record profits and all that plus never forget the Coutinho money? If you don’t spend you fall behind, we know it, the rags know it. Time for that team who only won leagues when you could pass the ball back to goalie to find out.

If Werner is getting upward of 200k a week and Salah,VVD,Mane etc are on nearer 150\180 it could rapidly destabilise a happy camp.

Don't forget about the Neil Mellor money...........

They could have paid the asking price for a Werner and had some change from the Coutinho money as well.

Yeah in context. The signs were definitely there.

They'd just come off a down month with dipped performances that ended with the unbeaten league record going at Watford. But as every single player had a collective off-day that day in a woeful outing, of which a brilliantly up-for-it Watford took full advantage, you just put that down to 'one of them' that happens knowing how virtually impossible it is to go a full season unbeaten in England. But then they follow that with a second straight defeat for the first time in Christ knows when at Chelsea the Cup, when a really strong side where equally woeful, and then you start to get concerned about the recent dip in form.

But to come out against Bournemouth, fall behind, at home, to ramp up the pressure even more, with all the nerves that naturally surround any title run-in, much-less one when you've been waiting 3-decades for the end prize, and dig in, scrap for everything, and dig out a massive 2-1 win, all off the back of 3 defeats from the previous 4 games, was a real testament to the ridiculous mentality within that group and a refusal to not get beat. Lesser sides would have crumbled and dropped more points. But, whilst still not being anywhere near their best, they dug in, sorted it out, and ground out another mammoth win. Having witnessed my side pick up the title 6 times in person, I can remember well that you get NO extra points for style. Getting over the line is ALL that counts at this stage of the run-in. It's rarely free-flowing from here on in. You just make sure you do enough for the points and move on to the next game.

Sign of a proper title side and a sign things were swinging back the other way.

Which they then followed up with an absolutely superb display against Madrid that, albeit falling short in the end result, was a real pride night in an absolutely fantastic game of football, from both sides, which on any other day L'pool win 4/5 without Oblak having an absolute Worldie in the Madrid goal, But you can't legislate for a goalie mistake in extra-time, and when that happens and the away goal advantage swings with minimum time to get that back, Atléti took full advantage and progressed. Fair play to them but you couldn't have been prouder of L'pool on the night as they really returned to style.

So yeah, in context, things certainly appeared to be righting themselves after the mini-blip through February.

"off the back of 3 defeats from the previous 4 games, was a real testament to the ridiculous mentality within that group and a refusal to not get beat."

I'll try again as I think I had a post deleted? How does does that work then, the bold bit above? Three defeats commented on and forgotten by the end of a sentence. Utter tripe the lot of it.
