Liverpool Thread - Premier League Champions* 2019/20 (Part 1)
He'll probably rotate 360 degrees.
your cryptic approach reduces the chance of being accused of trolling, but displays a slight lack of awareness as Rafa is unlikely to pick the same team twice in a row
Make it 540 degrees then and we'll call it a day.
Can't believe we lost another one to a last minute pen.
As per usual Arse Bandit is spamming other teams forums trying to get his post count up....

Will this mark the end of Benitez iyo?
Stop Trolling...
I've always been a big supporter of Rafa, but the fans won't put up with losing to teams like West Ham for very long.
The question is, who do we replace him with?
Would the fans put up with having Mourinho in the role? (From what I hear he's about to take the Valencia job anyway)
Don't suppose you'd lend us Wenger for a few seasons would you?
Who else is about that could do the job?
btw: Thats actually a good question Arsenal

I think the fans would put up with anyone who could bring them a league title. Including Mourinho.

It's not all trolling.
Personally I rate Mourinho very highly. He (and a bucket load of cash, but you've already got that at Anfield) turned Chelsea into a top 4 side. I think he's far more shrewd than Benitez and technically better at reading the game. The question then becomes, can Liverpool fans support him? No one likes Chelsea but can they look past that and see Mourinho for what he is, a class act?
Hands off Wenger! But I hear Big Sam's available.
You need to sell Gerrard too in order to move on. Much in the same way we have when we sold Henry and also Vieira a few seasons back and Man U have with RvN.
I believe selling Gerrard and sacking Rafa are the two main priorities at Liverpool right now if they want to move forward in the right direction.
*Cough* Fat Sam, never!
Yeah I agree Mourinho built an excellent team at Chelsea (even though he had about 130 million pounds to do it).
The team he built was excellent in a 4-5-1 formation, but whenever he tried to play two strikers up front he couldn't seem to get it to work which is a bit of a worry.
I like his attitude though, he builds a fortress within the team and says "F*&k everyone else" it is not always popular but always builds a really strong team unit.
Maybe if we could get Jose we could get Drogba and Torres up front. I hate Drogba but he's a great footballer.

Theres an article on soccenet.com that has benitez saying that liverpool could still come fourth, thats a bit dissapointing isnt it, weren't you guys meant to like win it this season? spent 40 mil to drop a place on last season at best. it could still be 2 or 3 places.
somethings gonna happen soon, those englishmen will be calling for heads, a team with the talent of livrpool shouldnt lose like this
Not rubbing your nose in it.
I recorded the game and got home to find the planner had dropped it off. Does anyone else have this problem with EPL and A League Games. Doesnt seem to happen with anything else.
Needless to say, cant comment much on the game yet, (on again tomorrow 2am) as when I switched on live it was just in time to see the replay of the pen.
One thing I did notice at the end though, was Rafa pointing to someone on the feild saying "That's Enough" and waiving his arm in one horizontal motion. Was that a signal that someone will be missing from the defence next week or that he has had enough. Certainly his after match comments dont indicate that.
From a Hammers point of view, the two games against Livewrpool are vital, in that we may well pick up 10 or 12 points from this and the next 3 against lower opposition this month, and the game in hand, against you could put us in a very good position.
At least Curbs has been going into bat for Rafa this week.
Cheers
I havent seen the game, was it a pen????
I haven't seen the game as I was at work.
Uiron: I had a similar problem that whenever I booked in something on Sky, if sky was already on that channel, it would switch to the preview channel once the booking kicked in. Is that the same as you?
If so you need to make sure its on any other channel except the one the footballs on and let the booking change the channel.
I think Everton will be the biggest threat to us getting 4th, West Ham are strong at home but a different story away, as are Man City and Pompey.

Carragher took out Freddie. Would put up a vid but can't find one of the penalty.

Thank christ we didn't lose to Sunderland, that would have just been to much for me to take.
let's hope so, be good to find some form with CL restarting and to restore a bit of pride

Torres suffers same injury as Lonegunmen..........From Soccernet.com
Hamstring rules Torres out of Chelsea trip
Liverpool have confirmed that striker Fernando Torres has suffered a hamstring tear and is set be sidelined for 10 days.
The 23-year-old limped out of Spain's 1-0 win over France on Wednesday in the 23rd minute and a subsequent scan revealed the extent of the damage.
Torres is set to miss Liverpool's trip to Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday, their FA Cup clash with Barnsley on March 19, but should be fit in time to face Inter Milan in the Champions League on March 19.
A statement from club spokesman Ian Cotton on the club's official website said: 'Fernando was examined by medical staff when he returned to Melwood.
'A scan later confirmed their diagnosis that he suffered a hamstring tear in his right leg. Fernando is expected to be out for approximately 10 days.'
Certainly missed Torres this morning, but one points' better than none at the moment I suppose.
Pretty damn boring game though...

yep, a point from there is a good result (certainly better than losing at home to your biggest rivals!! poor old Fergie)
stuffed up the videoing so might not see it (but at least i've learnt yet another way not to set the thing!)

Average game. We looked good in the first, but nothing amazing, thought Babel played really well. Game changed when he was subbed. Kuyt get points, Skrtel looked solid.
glad to hear Skrtel is finding his feet
skrtel played well. We solid at the back for the first time this season.
only going by the EPL highlights but we looked well in it
Yeah, but Riise is having trouble getting the ball in the net... at BOTH ends! WTF was he thinking?
that 'defensive' header certainly would have upped the heart rate and blood pressure if I'd seen it live!!!
Barnsley, Sunday morning in the FA Cup. Looking forward to Inter game should be good, looks like live on ESPN Thursday morning.
a cup double will do for me
Oh Dear !!
Bye Bye Rafa??
Bye Bye Rafa??
not necessarily - though it can't help
but a win v Inter should keep the wolves at bay
