Question: if you have Allison in your fantasy football team do you get points for 2 assists?

Just askin'

hopefully you not being over optimistic --

time will tell, as for sure we looked like we had some players (in sept / oct ) who looked fatigued & dare i say it a manager who looked devoid of a spark....

so it can turn, but whether Bingo has the skills to find a way to change to 'plan B' is what we will find out over the next few weeks

This is a fair point. It wasn't that long ago that many of our fans were asking searching questions of our own team and manager, and even Pep's contract extension drew a muted response in some quarters because they felt he'd taken the team as far as he could. This was exacerbated by the 2-0 defeat at Spurs which came just a few days after he signed that new deal. I and others tried not to get dragged into that but I have to admit that I was getting concerned myself. Fast forward 8-10 weeks and the situation looks completely different so it can change for the better and quickly. What I would say though is that we seemingly went back to basics and learnt how to defend again first and foremost, then used that as a springboard for taking the handbrake off later. It wasn't pretty at first but it was a necessity. The question is - can Liverpool do something similar with their defence even when van Dijk and the other CBs return? For me, the likes of Matip and Gomez are nowhere near good enough to partner him on a regular basis and I'm not sure those other two they've signed are either. IMO they need someone close to the level of Dias for us to team up with van Dijk, and there aren't many of those players around.

 

[Whether or not]

Anyone seen a scouser? I’ve been looking 4-1 but they’re nowhere to be seen

Have you tried the Pier Head? Probably still a few down there, celebrating the end of the 30 year wait, spreading Covid and setting fire to historic buildings.

Yep. They only exist because Everton - a club that were winning league titles at Liverpool's home ground before Liverpool even existed - were booted out of Anfield. At least City, United, and Everton weren't founded off of the back of another successful local team. Oh, and just to top things off Liverpool were founded by a Tory!

That’s not fair.....these are just incidents that happened in the past, and must not be confused with their glorious ‘istreeee.

Liverpool are a good side and Klopp is a good manager. They will be back

I've noticed a trend from Klopp in his interviews, and there are many Liverpool fans that post in here, so maybe they can answer.

Klopp keeps talking about "the two goals" Liverpool Football Club conceded.

They conceded four.

Klopp is clearly the greatest genius in footballing history, that cannot be questioned. Obviously.

But maybe he can't count?

I noticed that too. He also got confused over the two weeks break we had, when it was in fact four weeks.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

And they were a nothing Second Division club until the money came along and bought them 24 new players to get promoted, but failed, and then the year after signed the second most expensive player in Europe (as a 2ndDiv club!) to get that promotion.

Without Moores/Littlewoods none of what happened afterward would have happened! They’d just have stayed languishing in the 2ndDiv.

We were actually a top half Prem club when we were taken over by the Sheikh.

No 'iiiiiiiiiistory............

So much wrong with this from RAWK
‘
Fitting that they’ll win it in the most sterile way possible, in the most sterile season imaginable.

No-one gives a fuck about them winning, and no-one will remember it even if they wanted to. No-one gave a shit about their treble when people could actually show up, if they do it again in empty stadiums it’ll be met with little more than a shrug and a yawn.’

It’s hard to know where to start.

other than the all encompassing ‘alert: non-ironic, bitter poster, spits fiction rather than fact’
