QUOTE(carloz28 @ Oct 20 2014, 10:36 AM) I dunno why ppl blame Balo man...to me, he is playing his game exactly the style he is renowned for. He is never a creator runner like Suarez type (Suarez is the one and only) nor he is a flanker who drops deep to collect the ball and drifts to the flanks. Agree on Balo. But I disagree on the part where scouts and BR. I would think that Balo was brought in to play alongside Sturridge. Who would have thought he would suffer a 10weeks injury right?His style is somewhat similar to Torres right now, this guy holds the ball but needs the god damn service and defence splitting passes from the midfield to strut his stuff, which we failed to do so epicly. God damn scouts and BR himself should know what to expect before they brought him in man....BR is not playing to his players' strength, he is more obsessed with his stupid tiki taka diamond formation which doesn't work at all than gauging his players ability. It's the same for the past 3 seasons...only this time he got no Suarez's brilliance to shadow his incompetency. The defence? 3 yrs has gone and multiple faces come in and out. Same old stuff. Clueless. I see Balo did some good 1st time flicks/passes to Sterling who made great runs, too bad Sterling were not able to capitalize due to poor 1st touches. I can imagine these are the kinds of combination he will make with Sturridge. |

Come on guys, we haven't got a good run of games, and obviously, performance has been bad.
It has come down to the departure of Luis Suarez plus a few major injuries especially Sturridge. We overhaul almost the entire team as Suarez left and we need more players to compete in all competitions especially the UCL. That is obvious isn't it. Just signing 1 marquee player - Reus - to replace LS will not do us any good either. I strongly believe the decision to sign a player is not only made by BR himself. He obviously has a long list of players and opinions from scouts, contributor from Colin Pascoe, and maybe Ian Ayre, financial status of the team and approval from John Henry. Maybe the process is even longer where we, as normal people who merely only play FM and buys players with a few clicks will not understand. Listening to pundits/ex-players. Seriously? If they are good enough, why are they pundits, not even coaches. And Neville, if he is good enough, why did England not do well in the WC? Because of Woy? Then what is the purpose of having Assistant Coaches/Managers? Seriously. |

QUOTE(koolspyda @ Oct 22 2014, 03:29 PM) The way I see it Not that I do not disagree with you. Just that I can't agree with you, since I've never talked to him ever before, or joined his meeting with John Henry or Ian Ayre.Rodgers doesn't ask for a table (he is not the type that does that after all club carefully chose him over someone that always demanding) However he, rodgers (only silently) "wishes" for one but kinda leaves the club to sort out what's favourable to the club & the club finances. Club then tells Rodgers, here's the (table) lamp, which do you want? Small? big? This shape? You make the final choice. Speaking meterphorically but I think many Kopites know what I mean So I can't say I agree with you on whether what size of a lamp or table he wanted. Kan?

QUOTE(normeck @ Oct 22 2014, 03:01 PM) yes, Final decision will be on BR... if he want Reus, does it meet all the condition from scout, finance and John Henry? if the player dont want to join us, then 2nd choice? there goes balotelli... Really, have you worked or talked to anyone who works in a football club before? I'm not sure that's why I think there are more to BR making the final decision.yes we can go to falcao, cavanni... but other club also going after them... its not easy task i think to buy a marquee player... On your 2nd point, I know it could be just an example, but I wouldn't pay that much money to Falcao. |

QUOTE(AnythingK @ Oct 22 2014, 05:42 PM) lol Wtf is that, just because they decided to become pundits, and not coaches, so their analysis is all bullshit? Come on, of course not all their analysis is right, but they are not always wrong. Gary is England's assistant coach, he chose to be a coach yes?Oh and ofcourse BR is not the only one work on the transfer, but he have the final say. Btw, BR had more than 100 million funds to spend, and he decided to use half of it to buy the Saints, just like what he does last time to Swansea players, but luckily only Allen deal goes through. I respect BR in every aspect, but not on his transfer, his transfer record from his 1st season until now is totally fail. So you mean Coutinho and Sturridge also fail. hm. ok. |

QUOTE(Rotuham @ Oct 22 2014, 05:40 PM) There will always be lap dogs who will agree and say yes to whatever the club says.If the club says we will win all four trophies this season they will gleefully agree and say "why not? we are liverpool after all". May I ask what is your expectation of this season?You can choose to live in the past where shankly pulls a rabbit of the hat by signing players from lower divisions and wins the league or accept the reality today that you need marquee players to win titles.That is why chelsea look like they are going to run away with the title.No team has won a title without any world class players in recent history.Even 2005 liverpool had gerrard.You can say 2004 porto but were they not managed by possibly the one of the top 3 greatest managers in modern football? For both BPL and also UCL. |

Can't wait to hear the roar of Anfield. Hope it will push the players to get off the bad form.

On the bright side, Lugo won, so we're still very much in this! |

QUOTE(19 Degree South @ Oct 23 2014, 07:31 PM) Just wishing! Last season we laughed at scum being mid table under Moyer but now ....I am speechless Liao! We should be at a worse position looking at our current form, players recruitment, schedule, a manager who hasn't won anything.Yet, they are still below us What is it to be speechless about la. Plus, we played Spurs and Man City already away already. They haven't met any top 4-5 teams yet bar Everton. |

Well, u pay peanuts u get monkey! For the trio, we paid bananas and yet we get monkeys! We need Ronaldo, Benzema, Rodriguez, Modric, Kroos, Pepe, and Casillas. Not Balotelli, Lallana, Markovic, Can, Allen, Moreno, Lovren, and Mignolet. Which team don't want the players you mentioned? lolThis post has been edited by kenlimfornication: Oct 23 2014, 08:13 PM |

QUOTE(carloz28 @ Oct 25 2014, 05:18 PM) That's because one need to pay 3.50 pounds/per month to read his stuff nowadays Sadly, it didn't end well. I dunno why people keep on slating Rafa for being negative. Rafa is a very cautious manager, in poker analogies, he will not go all in to get that river rat. If he has pocket pairs, trust me...he will make teams fold before they even get to see the fourth card. He's portrayed as negative because he emphasizes on defense rather offense. He build his teams from the back to the front. To him, a tied scoreline is losing, one goal lead means a draw to him, 2 goal lead is leading, and only a 3 goal lead will appease him.He plays his team and adapts his formation to neutralize his opponents rather than rushing them with diamonds head on like a hardliner. Have you ever seen him celebrate a goal? We beat a Ronaldinho fuelled Barca at Nou Camp, beat Real Madrid at Bernabeu and thrashed them in the return leg, made Igor Biscan a cult hero with his standout performance against Deportivo with a ragged out team(away), halted the Chelsea juggernaut twice in CL semi finals and shut Mourinho up and lastly the great miracle of Istanbul in his first fekking season. People need to be appreciative of what Rafa has done to Liverpool. Which other manager in Liverpool has garnered so much support from the fans to the point thousands took it out in the streets to voice their support for Rafa upon hearing news he gonna be replaced? I'm not ashamed to admit I'm a Rafa loyalist..coz that man deserves every bit of it. ![]() |

QUOTE(manx @ Oct 28 2014, 02:52 PM) somehow i missed him in charge.. all the players we were linked with during his tenure turned out to be good.. only because we were managed by clowns at that time, if not Totally agree. I would say his only big money flop were Keane and Aquilani. Those that didn't work out ie. Nunez, Josemi, Gonzalez - all costs less than 3M. |

QUOTE(wadefak @ Oct 28 2014, 03:18 PM) are you seriously labelling Aquaman as a flop? he hardly got any chance apart from having a bad case of homesickness. besides that, he performed well whenever he's on the pitch for the squad in my book. Maybe I wasn't clear. I think he was a good player. But I still think as a transfer flop as he is constantly injured, plus didn't work out for the team. I too think Keane was a good player. Sadly, didn't work out for us. Hence, a transfer flop for Rafa. Just like Torres, beast with LFC, flop for Chelsea. Or Carroll for Newcastle and LFC. |
