Liverpool Thread - 2023/24

[Nellies left peg]

That’s going to be quite a midfield that they are going to play over the top of with their long diagonal hoofballs

 

[Ric]

On paper that's a very strong midfield, but it could take them time to gel. I think with no Champions League to contend with, they'll be our closest rivals for the title this season.

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Very strong team that. Liverpool are back unfortunately.

So is this year going to be your year?

 

[give it to gordon]

They have bought two footballing midfield players, does this mean the dippers are going away from hoofball ?

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

They operate as an indoctrinated mind collective that no one is allowed to criticise them. They coined the term tragedy chanting but continue vile chants about Munich, Harold Shipman and the death of the queen. Anyone criticises them gets well and truly rounded on, they will go at lengths to find your place of work to start intimidate you if they see any remark they don’t like in the public domain. Probably why the media in this country will not go near them with a negative comment.

It was a rhetorical question!!

 

[homerdog]

Is that the last of the Couthino money then?

Plenty more where that came from...

 

[homerdog]

Good luck to them, and all the other teams below us - would be exciting to have a close title race with 4 or 5 teams in with a shout. Bring it on...

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Plenty are coming across as jealous and envious,it's obvious they were going to be our biggest challengers this season,and that's just with having Jota and Diaz back,but bring it on I say,just fucking bring it on

They get this over the line they will be in very good shape. The forward line will always come up with the goods creating chances and they have deep options they can rotate throughout the season. One thing I did notice with Liverpool last year is they stood off teams and lost that ability they had to go hunting in packs to get the ball back. They now have that ability back with the legs they have in midfield, it will protect the back line as well. All in all they have solved their problems, let’s see how they integrate into the team.

at this rate they'll have to touch the Coutinho money

Coutinho money like the loaves and fishes story it's never ending

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Alisson
Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson
Mac Allister, Caicedo
Szoboszlai
Salah, Nunez/Gakpo, Jota/Diaz

Hmmm. They look strong, particularly going forward.

Still no depth in CM and CB. Granted they should still challenge

 

[oakiecokie]

... and City are still ruining football with their over inflated transfer fees.

 

[Ric]

Hopefully this will put an end to Klopp's self-pitying bullshit about not being able to compete with City, but I doubt it.

medical started yet ? and just when did you find out you had asthma

5th is likely to be a champions league place as two places go to countries with the best UEFA index. City have put England there.

Sums up UEFA. Could have used the extra spaces to expand the number of countries involved, but instead, they'd rather give two of the four spaces to clubs that will make them more money.

Arsenal currently have 50,000 UEFA coefficient points. Rangers have 49,000. One of those teams is having to go through qualifying. The other gets to go straight into pot 2, because they happen to come from the same league as good teams like us.

Klopp is like a man who says he'd never cheat on his wife because he's never had the chance......who's suddenly been propositioned by a 10/10 bombshell.

[Bez]

Luckerpool are a good cup team. However, they only have one Premier League title to their name. Considering the PL was designed to ensure their ongoing success since 1993, that is a very poor return for a self called 'history' club. Thirty years. One PL title.

Was only thinking about this parable this morning

 

[hertsblue]

Jürgen Klopp on Manchester United signing Paul Pogba for €105m in 2016: “The day that this is football, then I'm not in a job anymore.

Other clubs can spend more money and collect top players. I want to do it differently. I would even do it differently if I had that money.”

Today, Jürgen Klopp signs Caicedo for €127m.

On top of:
VVD 75 million
McAlister 35 million
Szoboslai 60 million
Nunez 70 million
Gakpo 35 million
Diaz 40 million
Konate 35 million
Jota 40 million
Alisson 60 million
Keita 54 million
Fabinho 40 million
Salah 40 million
Oxlaid chamerlain 35 million
Mane 36 million

No CL money either so guess be more stadium development at increased costs on the books
