Liverpool - It's not looking too bad in the transfer market

Trouble with that is :-

Agger has chocolate legs.

Johnson has a faulty sat nav.

Kolo Toure is an absolute mule of a defender.

Skrtel is aggressive in the fact he wants everybody's shirt but he doesn't seem to be much of a leader or consistent.

I think just changing personnel to better players would have saved a fair few goals last season imo.

ha ha Dagger is slightly injury prone isn't he.... and I wont have a bad word said about teenage mutant ninja skrtel....he is epic.

As for kolo....what a backup that man is.

Each to their own, but I have faith in the players....... I forgot to mention Sakho as well. Not the most gifted of footballers but he sure can defend.
 
Rogers is the problem , his tactics cost liverpool the title last year , weak link , they need to get him out , he will get found out in champions league this year with his all out attacking style , they cant defend and he has gone out and bought more forwards , weak link , get shot of him to move on ....................

No idea where that reaction comes from but the Southampton lads will also tell you - Lallana is not a striker. You may have that opinion but he didn't play as striker for Southampton and he didn't play as a striker for England - he played either in a wide forward role or supporting from behind.

I don't think he'll give you anything from wide that Sturridge and Sterling don't but at greater pace. I think for what he'll offer Liverpool, especially in the roles you describe that he's overpriced. Can't see him featuring regularly in the CL especially away. I stand to be proved wrong once the season starts though
 
I have a feeling you really haven't seen him play much. Not so long ago you were claiming he is a striker

Lallana adds more creative on the ball , he finds space very well and can pick a very good pass, very good from a dead ball situation - he is the exact type of player that Rodgers likes - technically very good and looks after the ball well. He will play his part and will fight it out with Coutinho for the creative wide or deep role in a 4-3-3.
 
He's a decent player but that's about it at the minute. At 26 & costing £25m he needs to hit the ground running.
Not sure I'd be too excited about signing Lellana & Lambert tbh.
If Suarez does go I think Liverpool will struggle to make top 4 whilst also playing in the CL.

If you only take 2 of the last 3 games into it. What about the previous 35?

From 8th to 2nd in one season, finished above Mourinho, Wenger...... new fangled footy fan are you?

No , but they got lucky last year and caught teams out , their attacking style caught many teams out , no jaws next year and other teams know how they play and they will just do a chelsea and sit and wait , Rogers cant hold a candle to Wenger , only jose of the current managers can , Liverpool cant defend , its well known , Rogers is a novice and next year he will have CL as well , he did not have that problem last year ......................EYF

  1. Not verylucky finishing 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] now is it? Don’t most premiership managers work on shape all week, watch and show countless videos on the opposition and plan for weekend games at least 1-2, or even 4-5 days in advance, if they have no midweek game.
  2. Rogers cant hold a candle to Wenger over 15 years, but maybe give him time….but this is the same Wenger who has been making the same mistakes for 8 years now. Ask half your support.
  3. Liverpool’s defeding wasn’t great last season, but he’s only 2 years in and hasn’t had tonnes of millions to spend. He has improved Henderson, Sturridge, and brought through Sterling and Flanagan.
  4. So you stick with Wenger, who didn’t win a trophy for 7-8 years, but you are saying get rid of a manager who is only 2 years in and has taken us from 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] to eigth. Go on explain that inconsistent reasoning.

    Are you another one who lets bitterness cloud your thoughts, or do you actually believe in the above?

Do you just look to troll every thread? Whilst Rodgers has to improve his defensive awareness. They'd not be where they are now without him.

I think point 4 is this coming season..
 
Why are people so obsessed with hatred for Liverpool? I started this thread to chat about any transfer rumours and what people think about signings that are being made, not for people to just come on and start wumming.

But if we are wumming then let me sum up the other teams.

United are going out and paying over inflated prices for players and god knows what will be next.

Arsenal are probably just going to go out buy some more lightweight fancy players and forget that they need some backbone to their team.

City, well they seem to be looking for that certain player that is going to take them that step forward, not going to be easy with how good that squad is already.

Chelsea, Costa signing and Lukaku returning should help their problems up top. No doubt Maureen has got something up his sleeve for the transfer window. He already has a pretty good squad and with a few tweeks will only get better.

One good season and you think you are there , dont work like that , takes time , As a club Liverpools CL record is very good , but Rogers CL is zero , last year his league winning abilities were tested and found wanting , its a learning curve and without jaws what they going to do , guy is an outstanding goal scorer and is going to be a big loss and they are spending money already that is going to come from his sale , as for wenger , No manager could do what he did at Arsenal for all those years with little money , he has won Doubles , an unbeaten season , no mean feat that and built a new stadium and kept the team up there , they had chances to win but now they winning again , Liverpool like spurs , everton all need a bigger stadium to get the revenue in to take on chelsea and man city ,Rogers is not in the same league , we will see this year now jaws is not around and for the record i rather liverpool won the league last year and not money bags city , he is the best british manger but dont get carried away by one season ......................

1. No one has suggested we are there and no one is getting carried away

2. Our manager is short on CL experience because he hasn't managed there yet - but I have no doubt he will work things out.

3. It's a building process for the long term which includes increased capacity for the stadium and building a young bright team for the future. If Suarez leaves then we move on spend his fee well and improve the whole squad instead of relying on one player.

4. Arsenal have had a bigger stadium for a while now and not once have taken on City and Chelsea throughout the whole season - our manager had a better PL season than Wenger has had for the last 8 seasons and expect him to build on that

5. Finally - his name is not Rogers - it's Rodgers.

They had one good season just like liverpool and fans thought they made the big time and will watch Arsenals decline , Wenger
has been there and done it time and time again and will do again , but like liverpool he needs to sort out the defending , cant win anything with a soft shell at the back , this world cup going on now will be won by the strongest defence , France or Belgium ?

Sorry I didn't realise next seasons results were already decided and we only had one good season.

I believe Liverpool have won more than Arsenal in the last 9'years are you going on about their "4th spot trophy"

I would expect a lot better results from Arsenal if Wenger is that good but they don't seem to there.

I'd like to see Liverpool buying some proven quality with champions league experience.

Buying young talent is all well and good for the future but that won't help short term.
 
The bottom line is the new season gas not started yet, so who knows what is going to happen. If Lallana hits the ground running then we may not miss Suarez that much. Also Emre Can could find his feet quickly and bring a lot to the team and we all know what Lambert is capable of with the some good service. Get the new LB he is after and a solid CB and the squad is looking good.

How can anyone right off a team that finished 2nd, just a couple of points short of winning it. Ask the other coaches if they think Liverpool are capable of challenging again and I know what they will say. The season has not started yet and the transfer window is open.
