Can't see them going anywhere under Klopp, but do think they won't be as good as they have been

They need a bit of an overhaul but they do normally get it right in the market

But they are going to have to spend a lot more money than they've done in the past to get it done

Done a comparison between both clubs, age wise and contracts expiring per year its pretty samey...advance us is that were more likely to spend money and not stand still then they will

Gk: Even
29 - Allison vs Ederson - 28
23 - Kellegher vs Steffan - 27

FB: Walker is the outlier here
23 - Trent Arnold vs Walker - 31
25 - Joe Gomes vs Cucurella* - 23
28 - Robertson vs Cancelo - 28
26 - Tmiskas vs Zinchenko - 25

CB: we have the slight edge
30 - VVD vs Stones - 28
30 - Matip vs Laporte - 28
23 - Konate vs Dias - 25 (Ake - 27)

CM: we have the clear edge
32 - Henderson vs Gundogan 31
31 - Thaigo vs KDB - 30
28 - Fabinho vs Rodri - 25
28 - Keita vs Bernardo - 27
28 - Oxlade-chamberlaim vs Phillips - 26
21- Jones vs Palmer 20
36 - Milner

ATT: We have the slight edge
30 - Salah vs Sterling - 27
22 - Nunes vs Haaland - 21
25 - Dias vs Foden - 21
25 - Jota vs Grealish - 26
30 - Firmino vs mahrez - 31 (Alvarez - 22)

There isn't much in it, they have some good youth players as do we

Now contracts

Expire 23
Salah, Mane, Firmino, Keita vs Sterling, Jesus, Mahrez, Gundogan = pretty even, Mane/Salah>Jesus/Sterling but Mahrez/Gundo>Firminio Keita

Expire 24
Foden, Rodri, Walker, Zinch vs Thaigo, Matip, Gomez, Minimino = Ours are FAR more pressing but due to ages Foden/Rodri extensions are inevitable. Then it's clear advantage us, will Liveprool offer extensions go Matip/Thiago who will be 32? They will need replacing as would Walker for us

Expire 25
KDB, Bernardo, Laporte, Ake, Steffan vs TAA, Jota, VVD, Jones, Tsimikas, Henderson = more pressing for us. You'd imagine TAA, Jota and Tsimikas will have their contracts renewed as they are of the right age profile. Whereas we are unlikely to have Bernardo, KDB will be 33 and Laporte 31 who has been linked away. Obviously Henderson will be faced out for them but VVD will still be a big loss

Moral of the story, they won't be going anywhere too far while Klopp is there.....and that I have too much time on my hands on a Sunday during off-season

Agree that Klopp will ensure that they remain competetive, however Van Dijk is 30% of their team and allows them to play with such a high line. He will not be easily replaced
 
New song for the dippers
To the tune of fields of Athenry

Oh by the streets of St Denis
Where once we tried to jib in for free
The cops they used tear gas
The locals kicked our ass
It's so nasty round the streets of St denis

Silly question here perhaps - but have they always been like this and we are just paying more attention to them now since they appear to he our main threat or has their media love in and all the crap they spout gotten worse.

Is our success connected to their increased bullshit rhetoric?

It's always been there we just didn't see it
Ask any Rag and they will tell you that the dippers were always the darlings of the media and everyone was against them
We on the other hand thought its was the other way round, but maybe this once the raggy twats were right and it's been the bin dippers all the time
