Liverpool Thread - Premier League Champions* 2019/20 (Part 1)

^^ heres to that!

United can finish, and thus are leading, Torres is a superb striker and finisher tho, credit to the man, he's got serious skill and composure

yup he does !!

  yus united are g00d bt liverpool are class !!!

lolz.. Torres and maybe Gerrard are class, o and Reina.. Liverpool... no, the word class iritates me almost as much as quality in reference to football players

lol if liverpool are class then why are they not top of the table by 20+points........

didn't see all of it, but thought that was there for the taking

Missed it, sounds like 2 points dropped, but City a good team. Still should have capitalised on other teams slip ups.

Taped it, watched it, hated it.  Frustrating as hell.  City defended well, but we had 2-3 good chances to score.  Torres and Kuyt had one of those games when they just couldn't do the business in the box.  Two points dropped for sure.

Yes, but Wigan are a real class side as well. I'm sure they're gutted they only drew with Liverpool.

All good boys will come back

Luton in the Cup tomorrow morning - just like two years ago.  I remember Alonso's goal from inside his own half in that game and the fact we were 3-1 down and won 5-3.

Hopefully Rafa's give a few of the young player a game. I would like to see Babel playing up front with Lucas in the Mid field and Insua at left back i saw him (Insua) play against the socceroo last year he looks like he has the goods be a top player.    

its sad to say you could be right mate.  

Apparantly Rafas' not worried about his job, but I think the time the finger of blame starts pointing at the manager is fast approaching.

I've never liked his rotation policy, never liked him playing Stevie G out of position often, never liked the fact that we've focussed on cup competions while falling short in the league, but I've always thought that Rafa would be the one to bring home that first Prem title.

i back him...despite all opinions otherwise

as for focusing on the cups,  its fair enough because at the moment we don't have a squad capable enough to last and preform consistently enough for the duration of a whole season.

we need at least a new..

-Left Full back
-Center half
-Right Winger
-Forward

as well as making Mascherano's move permanent

and get rid of

Kuyt
Crouch
Sissoko
Riise
Aurielo
Voronin

we can make some cash from them.
also seems we have some good  young  fringe  playerrs getting some 1st team action like hobbs. lucas, insua,

Liverpool are about to break their transfer record for a defender by signing Martin Skrtel from Zenit St Petersburg. Looks like a good signing and with Agger still out some cover for the center backs.

I back Rafa as well, it seems like the press over there have targeted him as the next manager they want to get sacked. He seems to have to tell the media everyday he's still got a job.

Soccernet has an interesting (and unbiased for once) interview with Carra and he's baffled why Hicks and Gillet get asked every 2nd day if they're gonna sack Rafa.

I think you've gotta ask yourself, so we sack Rafa, who exactly are we going to replace him with?

Who's better? Mourinho? Rikaard if he gets the boot from Barca? (not saying they are bettering, just offering them up)

I agree some of his transfers haven't worked out, also he needs to replace paco as he's trying to do to much himself. His "rotation policy" is massively over exaggerated by the press and has also put us in good stead at the end on each season when we've gone on to win and come 2nd in the champs league.

Another bad result, 1-1 with Boro, apparently Torres scored a cracker but the press with be all over Rafa this week after that result

Three straight draws in the league - all games we would expect to win.  You can write off the Premier League title and it's now going to be a dogfight to get 4th.

Yeah, looking increasingly unlikely, even with the game in hand over the rest...

Sad times, and just when we could use  a bit of stability to steady the ship, the whole Manager debacle is coming to a head. While I've got my reservations about Rafa's performance, the last thing we need is to go through the dramas of replacing a manager.

And I thought this year was ours for the taking. Here's hoping the Scum and the rest of 'em catch a bit of that draw flu that we seem to have at the moment.

No one else did.

Takes a cold, cold heart to kick a man while he's down...

AHAHAAHAHHAHAHHAHAH

What do you mean mate we are playing inter milan next month

Net Spend 1992/93 to 2007/08 Seasons:

Liverpool 174,810,000
Arsenal 61,876,000

Net spend per manager 2004/05 to 2007/08:

Benitez 83,670,000
Wenger 8,120,000



Edit: these were initially based on an older version of the spreadsheet. I've now adjusted the figures for the latest stats.

And my point still comprehensively stands.
