Liverpool thread 2020/21

I might be hiring soon, I’ll keep you in mind.

Frightened of heights, you’ll have to employ someone else to strip lead

 

[jimharri]

Shouldn’t that be fuck ups.

In the plural?

Administrative fuck up. My secretary is now on her final warning.

I’ve already got lads who do that for me. Nice one though.

By your logic here, every single position on the pitch should be immediately interchangeable for each member of the squad. If you think that footballers can just adapt to new positions with different needs and skill sets just because they’re first teamers, I’d say it might be a little sinking in that’s needed at your side. If football was as fluid and linear as that, everybody could be a manager. But do you even realise the difference between playing centre mid and centre half? They’re the two hardest positions on the pitch to play and whilst they’re often close to each other, their roles are markedly different. To expect seamless transition at this level is madness.
I’d have replied earlier but I’ve been up the wall with work.

Funny how you build up a picture of people in your mind, for some reason I had you down as working nights..!

 

[HelloCity]

Turns out Liverpool were just a blip on the radar of our own domestic dominance.

Your answer bears no resemblance to the question that was asked. The follow up tells me you’re looking for a row so I’ll bow out. Enjoy your day.

Fuck off you ****

 

[Greggery Peccary]

Fuck off you ****

Thanks mate. If you’re the person I think you are, you’re nearly as unpopular as me on here. Aren’t you the lad calling your own fans & this forum out on other teams fora? Give you something, takes balls to do that and then come back. I remember that thread well, there were a few naughty words in that.

Pep manages to turn midfielders into defenders , full backs into midfielders and a fluid attack amongst other things , who needs strikers, just because klopp cant do it doesnt mean nobody can

He has had the same time to build a squad capable of interchanging but you didnt do it

You make some very fair comments. City struggled last season playing with Rodri & Fernandinho at CB.

What’s your thoughts on FSG mate? Are you happy with the US sports model of just taking money out of the club, or do you have concerns that with their lack of spending without selling is going to end with things going tits up for Liverpool?

Your club makes about the same amount as City, but tend not to spend as much per year on transfers, which leads me to believe they’re taking the piss out of your fans & are only interested in profit & lining their own pockets, same as US baseball franchises. What’s your thoughts on that?

FSG don’t take a penny out of Liverpool, they never have. They make money on the equity of the club in the same way you would if you have a property portfolio. They buy things, pump money into them and then use them to leverage new acquisitions. Believe me when I say that a lot of people will acknowledge they’ve been brilliant off the pitch but don’t have a fucking clue on it. Any success during their time has been in spite of them, not attributable to them. Their fanboys point out they brought us Klopp. True, but he picks the players to play, not them. Only twice in nine years or so have they gone above and beyond in the market by making real statement signings. To clarify here, I don’t mean that we have to spend mega dough on every single player. But when you’re told that you can compete with anyone in the world, their general parsimony is inescapable. I’m not against budget signings or anything like that either, value comes in all shapes and sizes. However the centre half situation should have been addressed on the 1st of January, not the 31st. I didn’t expect the likes of Upamecano to arrive but I don’t believe the likes of Davies were anywhere near his first choice. The story that Minamino went out on loan to reduce the wage bill is pretty grim too if unsubstantiated.
I’ve said on here many times that our fans have very low opinions of owners and our current ones at their worst have been diabolical. The £77 briefs and trying to copywrite the word Liverpool were two heavy lows. And there’s plenty more. My point though is that I know it’s common here to be nothing less than super fan towards the owners but we’ll never trust ones ever again. I support the team and manager 100% but I have no loyalty to FSG whatsoever. Would smash John Henry’s missus though, she’s magnifico.
