Liverpool Thread - Premier League Champions* 2019/20 (Part 2)

Agree I thought Carroll had a massive game his work rate was right up there.

What a week aye?!

Carroll scores a winner v Blackburn

Owners fly in *insert cat amongst the pigeons*

Owners leave *pigeons well shaken* Notice served to all and sundry.

We beat the Bitters! Off to Wemberlee again.

Carroll scores the winner, again.

Say what you want about Carroll, he lumbers around but he's been getting stuck in recently. Just needs to convert a few more chances.

Cruyff has just signed a deal with Ajax hasn't he? I think he's been consulted rather than approached as DoF. Word is his recommendation is Txiki Begiristain, the man who set Barca's wheels in motion at the end of the Rijkaard era and installed Guardiola as manager. Creme de la creme.

Fun times.

From @RoyHendo on Begiristain: [Interesting read]

@Royhendo: Duncan Castles in Sunday Times saying Cruyff has recommended Beguiristain. The boy Cruyff done good.

Castles is pretty reliable too. Same with Roy who who came out about Begiristain before Castles did.

Fascinating read!

Moneyball Statistics and Damien Comolli

If you read Tom Werner comments carefully.

Thanks for the link, TheKop. Was very interesting.

I read this on the rumours forum last night! Sounds like he has defintaly been approached

I'm sure Egil Olsen was using statistics like this ~20 years ago to develop his direct game plan that took Norway to #2 on the FIFA rankings

Some LeBron Liverpool Lows

Had a look on google re those shoes and it led me to a vid of LeBron handing out beats by dre headphones out to the LFC squad during his visit. Not just any beats by dre headphones thou special Liverpool ones with the liverbird on it. I'm not a fan at all of these status orientated overpriced cans but damn they looked hot!

Hodgson for Liverpool.

Would be a sideways move for Hodgson

Jekyl and Hyde. So frustrating!

Optimism

All gone quiet lads? Very interesting line up against norwich I though today with henderson and shelvey playing in the deeper role. And suarez's 3rd goal fantastic!

Three great goals from Suarez. Shame Carroll got "injured". Fulham tomorrow then the FA Cup final! Nice to see Shelvey get a decent run too

Can't get enough of Luis!

I'm a bit annoyed the Fulham games is next, I want the cup right now. Should be a cracker final, both teams finding a bit of form and goals.

Oh and word is that the LFC accounts are being made public tomorrow. That will be very interesting reading and will give us a good indication as to what might be available for the summer spending (or not as the case may be)

Hard to know what to make of this game , Norwich were sh*t.But some random thoughts

Torres just scores a hatrick too...bad sign for the weekend?!

That third goal is absolutely gorgeous. Goal of the season.

AGree EN but it wasn't my favourite of his.THat third goal is so special ( a bit like Crouchie's volley from a few weeks ago) that one or 2 a season is OK.Why I like the first two more was that they were the sort of goals a 20M pound striker should be scoring at a rate of 20-25 a year.They were clinical , accurate, ,powerful strikes; we just haven't seen enough of them this season.

Yup, was great to see him finishing like that (although he did miss that one where he went for the chip!). Definitely the sort of clinical-ness (?) that we've been missing. Still, three superb goals. That second goal... Brilliant finish. What a player he is.

Also, have you seen this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ZWZJn0Ir49g?

I'd like to think he wouldn't have tried to chip it like that if he didn't have to in the bag already, was far too cheeky for my liking! You could probably say the same about the third too really.

Can't condone pitch invasions but that was quite funny!

Cup fever kickin' in!

 

 

Man, i'm seriously lost on this new forum. It's all back to front... bit like our league form.

 

Seriously up for this weekend! Newcastle's win over Chelsea was a shot across the bow for the Londoners.Not as invincible as they thought they were..

 

 

I don't know who I want to lose the most.  Possibly the chavs.

Should have been Spurs vs Toffees...

 

Looks like this thread's gone down the plug hole with the loss of many a Red. Shame.

 

#Relegation

 

Finally sussing out this new forum set up!  I'm back just in time to see us surge up the table and only trail both manchester clubs by only 34 points......  Bring on the euro's as a welcome distraction!!

New kit out today, I like it quite understated.  And 96 on the back very touching 

Wow understandable with the owners it would be an American brand but strange not seeing an Adidas kit on Liverpool! Gotten quite used to it ...and there goes the (remote) possibility of an Adidas sponsored visit by Liverpool to Aussie/NZ in the off season in future.

Kenny sacked. 

Was coming.....

Disappointed as I think that he did not have the players.
