Liverpool thread 2020/21

[RadcliffeRick]

The manager will be first out of the door, German national manager by the end of the Summer

If he does go he will leave a mess behind him. A large number of players nearing, or already 30 years old. Possibly, no European football to generate income or to attract new players. A financial hole that their owners do not appear keen to fill.
Happy days!!

And get Slippy G back in to push them back to the abyss.

But that's exactly why he'll leave. Like Alex Ferguson in his last few seasons at the rags just squeezing every last drop from the same group of aging players and signing players in their late 20s for short-term personal glory rather than a long-term rebuild. It'll be telling what Klopp's next signings are. If they're in their late 20s, then I wouldn't expect him to be around for that long. Their current crop of players probably have a few years left (but maybe not at the same intensity) but they will have to replace almost the entire squad in the next few years.

Got a feeling he may stick around one more season, unless their form gets worse and they continue to move no higher in the league table, and get badly dumped out of europe - that may swing it. Especially if they qualify for the Europa conference league (sniggers with fingers crossed)

What was telling was the rushed purchase of those 2 defenders in january. Who the hell picked Kabak from the worst defensive side in Germany thinking he would be a shrewd loan signing ?

That shows where they may be heading, hacked scouting data only lasts so long eh : )

If the german cheerleader does go, we all know who is inbound. Slippy g, then it will be a good watch to see the dippers revert back to issstreee

So, what will we have to do after the next home game against Littlewoods, when the mourners have been?

I dread to think.

Just burn the place down and build another. We have unlimited funds, you know.

The grounds stuffed... the cars are still arriving, the turnstiles are queued solid and there’s loads still walking from afar.

amazing

I notice it’s mostly the prawn sandwich-munching Main Standers late to their seats.

 

[cheekybids]

It’s like when King Kenny left & they called for Souness from Rangers.

 

[jamesha]

It’s like when King Kenny left & they called for Souness from Rangers.

And turned into a cockney pub team by signing the likes of Ruddock and Dicks. Mind you both would probably get into their current team even if they are both in their 50's.

• Incorrect decision (for Liverpool)

Number shows comparison between for/against

58:33 Gini shoves the Fulham player over. Referee played advantage so saw the foul. [=] [-14]

Liverpool were poor again, but Friend showed a clear bias against Liverpool for the whole game. He wasn’t quite as bad in the second half.


Friends decisions didn’t lead to Liverpool losing the game, but that’s not why I recorded this. It was to see if I was imagining how bad the referees are.
