26 Sep 2016 23:00:16
There's a feel good feeling for fans everywhere. We're an LFC Official Supporters group from Wellington, New Zealand and we are currently getting dozens of people along each week to a bar that opens for us almost every week - to put that in context, games are often at 1am on a Monday morning NZT or 8am on other days. As the club goes well, more and more people are willing to leave the comfort of watching at home, to head out and spend time with other fans all while contributing to local charities under the LFC banner.

Hi mate I love Wellington great city good to hear that support, i now based in Brisbane and there is also wonderful support, enjoy the season man and I really feel we all can push this club forward with positive energy.


27 Sep 2016 02:08:28
great to hear that leighbo, thanks for sharing!


27 Sep 2016 03:08:30
Love Wellington so much. Used to live there still miss Wellington. All the best.

The best part of all this season is to seee every signing Klopp has made settle in seamlessly.

Cannot remember one season before where every signing a previous manager has made hit the ground running.

Money well spent this season, for a change!

One thing what worried me was this. We got quite a few players in, I thought it'd be a struggle for them to gel into a team (as per usual) but Klopp made it work immediately. incredible really. Very happy with the new team we have. They're working as a team and not just as individuals like a lot of teams are.


27 Sep 2016 10:54:37
I'm hoping this is because Klopp said 'I want players to have certain attributes to fit my style' rather than just 'I want players'.


27 Sep 2016 12:46:04
Shows how important it is with a good preseason.


27 Sep 2016 19:03:11
As well basically enough rest and training during the week.


26 Sep 2016 22:11:22
Isn't it just fantastic how positive everything is right now? the club, the fans, the players and the manager. everybody is positive! fantastic to see, great times ahead! I havn't been this excited about Liverpool for a long time!

What I also love seeing is, the players when in training look to be happy and gettingg the job done at the same time.

Ed1 If I may ask a question (sorry if you've previously answered this) - What do you expect to happen with Sakho, possibly out in January?

Have a good evening all.

Believable1 Unbelievable3

{Ed002's Note - The club would be happy to sell him.}

26 Sep 2016 22:20:43
Cheers ed2 - is there any clubs interested in him at present?

I never thought he'd turn out the way he has, sooner he's gone the better.


{Ed002's Note - He had options from Stoke, Besiktas and West Bromwich Albion in the summer but had higher aspirations. Perhaps a loan in January but I don't see anyone chasing to buy him right now.}

26 Sep 2016 22:30:21
Sakho has handled his situation terribly. Instead of owning up he has gone on to say that the LFC is lying.

The club supported Sakho throughout his ban and went on to act like a clown. I was a big fan of Sakho but he has made his bed and needs to be removed as soon as possible.

We cannot afford distractions.


27 Sep 2016 01:27:44
Thanks ed2 and I agree max.


27 Sep 2016 04:27:11
The thing is max, they have lied about his situation. Rightly or wrongly, he was said not be fit and all these excuses about his fitness instead of just avoiding to comment on the situation or saying, I pick the team and sahko is not in it this week. So whilst I agree, sahko handled the situation badly by posting such things on social media, he isn't wrong that they are lying. What he has to understand is that they have to explain his absence somehow and that's probably the least controversial way of doing it, and he should be mature enough to know what happened between him and the manager and put his head down and try get back in the team and eventually reconcile with klopp.

Hopefully klopp is the type of guy that keeps the door open for him, because sahko obviously loves the club. I like sahko, but we don't know what's going on behind the scenes. It would be a shame to lose arguably one of our better centre backs as those 4 cbs really are quality. But that's the way it goes sometimes.


27 Sep 2016 04:33:30
sakho is finished and its all his own fault.


27 Sep 2016 09:04:09
Kman92 i don't think this classifies as lying. The Club was honest with him that they didn't want him and that he should look for another club even if that is on loan. He had a few offers he rejected them saying he will fight for his place.

2 months down the line instead of keeping his head down and training hard he is ranting that he was lied to.

Surely it would be worse for him if klopp came out and said he's fit but not fancied.


27 Sep 2016 10:21:58
Exactly pakred.


27 Sep 2016 10:58:51
Depends on your definition of fitness surely. Sakho hasn't played a conpetitive game since April (? ) so, being literal, he certainly isn't fit enough to play a game with the intensity levels we've seen in recent weeks.

And no, I haven't looked at what was said by Sakho/ Klopp, can't be bothered with the nonsense. I like Sakho as a player but if he's disrupting the team then he can do one for me.


27 Sep 2016 14:19:02
How can people disagree with my original post lol am I missing something.


27 Sep 2016 16:37:13
Klopp already made the mistake with Balotelli of opening his mouth and causing us to lose leverage on the sale.

We hasn't done it this time with Sakho and tried to offer him a summer move away without saying "he's not playing because j don't want him" thus losing us an leverage in recouping good value for him.


27 Sep 2016 03:03:03
Haven't Roma been chasing his tail ever since he joined Liverpool.


26 Sep 2016 21:49:50
Hi eds hope you don't mind me posting this here need your guys help!

So 10 years ago mine and my families life was changed forever when my dad sadly passed away. So in his memory I am walking the Yorkshire three peaks raising money for Winston's Wish (a child bereavement support charity) with the aim of making the grieving process slightly easier for one child/ family. My target is to raise £500 but if I raise double I will do the challenge in fancy dress!
Anything you can donate towards the target would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

On Monday Night Football when Carr's and Jurgen were discussing tactics and formations it ended up with all Liverpool players other tha the keeper in the other teams half.

Brilliant stuff. Forget the one up top versus having two strikers debate. We are going full throttle heavy metal football with both intelligence and passion.

It promises to be unmissable viewing.

Believable6 Unbelievable6

26 Sep 2016 22:20:39
Ya and lallana postion and Milner postion are fake . When I say fake they don't play lb or cm it's more lm and number 10. It like we play a 2cbs hendo holding then the rest go where ever.


27 Sep 2016 03:08:18
And Karius will be chilling half way between the CB and his goal.

They can go where ever, as long as they keep the shape. If Milner is in CM for example someone has to provide width on the left flank.


26 Sep 2016 19:52:55

26 Sep 2016 19:45:08
Listening to klopp on Monday night football it's very obvious why he prefers the players he does over sturridge.

Sturridge is an amazing striker but that's all he does, he needs to be in a team that is set up to feed him balls.

Players klopp uses are multi functional and interchangeable seamlessly. Sturridge just can't do it.

Carragher giving tips to other managers by asking Klopp about tactics! Cheers carra.


26 Sep 2016 21:05:44
I did wonder, but you'd hope there's more to klopps tactics than a quick chat with carra and Dave lol.


26 Sep 2016 21:38:19
Do you not think other managers will be watching Liverpool anyway Lobster? I don't think he gave too much away. don't worry.


27 Sep 2016 03:09:14
soooo much better than talking about inverted triangles
smh.


27 Sep 2016 04:34:05
lol It's funny because he didn't say anything that people didn't know already, well people that understand how to play football. In fact at times, I felt his brain was working to fast for his mouth at times and it caused a lot of confusion almost forgetting what the original question was so maybe he's confused other managers 😛. But joking aside, nothing he said suprises me and it was very basic knowledge of the game. Gegenpressing has been done for years, klopp wasn't the first to do it, its about how the players execute what he wants on the day. We almost always play the same way, so literally it's about how sharp and energised the players are that dictates the game.


27 Sep 2016 16:39:33
Red Lobster is a united fan on the windup. As always.

Klopp tactics can't be spoilt by a short chat on tv with pundits. Bit more too managing a team than that I'd hope, otherwise everyone watching at home should be able to give it a go then!

James Milner is currently rated as the best left back in the premier league based on form and stats. This is testament to how well he's adapted to the role and the professionalism he's shown to do so.

Believable21 Unbelievable5

26 Sep 2016 19:43:09
He deserves so much credit he really does.


26 Sep 2016 19:55:14
True professional.


27 Sep 2016 02:10:06
Truly outstanding - incredible professionalism and really good example of putting the team before all else. Long may it continue and I hope he learns to love playing at FB, it feels a natural fit for him given his engine, crossing skills and tackling abilities.


27 Sep 2016 04:38:37
also has a 100% record from the penalty spot, well played james milner.


27 Sep 2016 10:00:57
He has been a true professional and is showing now the reasons why we signed him. what's more he looks totally comfortable at lb and is being a real leader out there. credit to him he has totally won me over and allot of fans also. Will be very important for us this seeason.


27 Sep 2016 11:14:50
I'm still waiting for the big mistake which sends us back to the 'we need a new LB' debate. Whilst I'd prefer a specialist there ultimately, JM is doing a far better job than I expected, i wonder if using his experience of playing in midfield helps him understand better what might be happening in front of him and uses that to drive his positioning?

Whatever, I'm happy to eat my words at the moment on the decision to play him there.


27 Sep 2016 17:42:03
My step dad is a city fan (long time) and he was absolutely gutted when Milner left. He still goes on about it, and says he would swap him for Sterling any day. I'm starting to see why now!


{Ed041's Note - I'm staring to worry about your step dad lol

27 Sep 2016 17:59:20
I've always found him odd tbh!


26 Sep 2016 18:17:46
I have to hold my hands up and say i was wrong about klopps handling of sakho. Although i like what he does outside of the club i can see how him basically deciding he can do as he pleases can cause disharmony and be quite devisive.

Im not saying sakho should not have an opinion, but i would have more respect for him if he took it up with klopp in private instead of bleating to the world on social media.

He got off pretty lightly considering the debacle with the failed drugs test and most people would have been grateful to get off scott free and get their head down and work hard.

Its a shame but matip has shown he is not irreplaceable and that will be the last time he kicks a ball for lfc while klopp is in charge i fear. And frankly he can only have himself to blame.

Believable10 Unbelievable6

26 Sep 2016 19:21:26
Have you considered the possibility that he did take it up with Klopp, maybe several times, and was ignored completely? I don't know if that's true or not but it's worth considering. No manager is perfect and no-one handles every situation perfectly. It's very feasible that a situation has just gone out of control. Frankly I found the efforts to loan Sakho fairly pathetic anyway (if you don't want him then sell him but don't try and force him to go in limbo to Sunderland) and I am not surprised that Sakho had something to say after being frozen out of the U23's just after they had praised him for the application he was putting in.

Hard fact is that footballers tend not to be very bright and there is only so far you can push a below par intelligence individual before they do something stupid (push anyone far enough and they have a tendency to snap) . Whatever happens to Sakho after this will be his fault in the most part I think, but I hope Klopp also learns about dealing decisively with situations and not letting them drag and propagate as well.


{Ed001's Note - we wanted to sell him but the offers we received were not good enough, except for loans.}

26 Sep 2016 19:49:17
Is he likely to be sold in January ed?


{Ed001's Note - bit early to know, but the club want to get rid.}

26 Sep 2016 19:53:42
Ok thankyou, Best for everyone's eyes leaves now I think.


26 Sep 2016 21:25:53
Edds was it sakho açting the arse on deadline day?


{Ed001's Note - he rejected offers, if that is what you mean.}

27 Sep 2016 02:13:00
It's a real shame, underneath it all seems a really decent guy and loves the club, but whoevers fault it is, no-one is bigger than the club and we can't afford any disharmony in the dressing room. I still hope he can get over this - others have gotten over worse - but if not I hope he goes on to a great club and has a brilliant career and looks back fondly on his time here.


27 Sep 2016 08:06:39
sos one of the edds said that 1 of the players were acting up on deadline day. I can't recall which one.

Just read Ronnie Whelans column in the Irish Independent. He states that Klopp is making a mistake appearing on MNF and that there is a good chance Klopp could end up a laughing stock like Rodgers (whelans words) I know myself Klopp will not be made look like a fool. What is laughable, Whelan gets paid to write that crap. BTW He said City will have the league won by Christmas.

Believable8 Unbelievable4

26 Sep 2016 18:38:37
I feel he shouldn't appear but hey ho let's see how it goes eh
🤔
Would Peppers Winger or Jose do it? Banter that's all.


26 Sep 2016 18:50:52
Whelan was a great footballer but he is a terrible Pundit, also a terrible coach as history can prove so wouldn't be taking any notice of anything he has to say, as for city having it wrapped up. I highly doubt that as they have a lot more games than most to play and also have beaten only average teams and have not been tested like chelsea arsenal Tottenham and liverpool.

Its going to be a long season and I can see chelsea creeping up before xmas with arsenal city spurs and liverpool there or there abouts with maybe 6-7 pts between them all by xmas at the most.

As we all know 6-7 points ahead at xmas means nothng these days as a lot can happen in just a coupe of games.


26 Sep 2016 18:53:30
just because you can play football doesn't mean you know football. I'd trust Jurgen with delivering my children.


26 Sep 2016 19:22:40
Jurgen is our biggest attraction at LFC right now. We need his face out there as much as possible to attract fans and interest players in what he's doing because if we don't, our biggest marketable asset is worth nothing.


26 Sep 2016 19:54:17
It's over now, went well I think. Hope he didn't give away too many tactics.


26 Sep 2016 20:13:20
It's not just Liverpool fans who love listening to Klopp speak. I think football fans in general, even if they won't admit it, admire him and would love to have him as their Manager. He's so interesting and knowledgable about the game, and his enthusiasm is infectious. The same could never be said about Rodgers.
I'm afraid Whelan is talking complete rubbish!


26 Sep 2016 17:45:26
Hi eds, a question. can see llori featuring regularly for the u23's now but not considered for league cup matches. has anything changed with his situation or we still trying to move him out in Jan? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - The club wanted to sell him and his career is going nowhere, but I am not aware of interest right now.}

27 Sep 2016 04:45:31
we really need to let him go and rebuild his career elsewhere, thankfully he is young enough to do so, why the hell did rodger's buy him in the first place? one of his most bafalling decisions and that's saying something.


27 Sep 2016 06:54:57
Shame for the lad, I think it's one of those bad scouting/ recruitment issues. We seem to overload certain positions.


26 Sep 2016 14:25:12
A question for the Ed's if about. In light of Sakho's recent outburst on social media, how much power do clubs have these days
in terms of being able to punish their players? I understand this may be a difficult one to answer directly,
but at what point does the ball become firmly in the clubs court to discipline players? In any normal place of work,
incidents like these are enough to cause people to lose their jobs, is football much different?

Believable0 Unbelievable3

{Ed002's Note - They can fine him.}

26 Sep 2016 14:17:28
I heard on sky sports news this morning that, we have yet to score a premier league goal with a reconsider striker. That's impressive considering we have 16 goals to our talk so far. When you look at other top clubs such as city, United, and Chelsea, they all have a striker providing the most part of there goals. So I was just thinking imagine we could get sturridge or origi in the team consistently scoring, and how much of a difference that would make to our title chances. The fact we are already considered such an offensive threat without an inform striker just excites me so much for this season and beyond.

Believable7 Unbelievable3

26 Sep 2016 15:24:54
Firmino is a striker.


26 Sep 2016 15:49:57
Problem is, I wouldn't dare change things at the moment, we're doing so well. Keep it How it is, it's working.


26 Sep 2016 16:18:03
Didn't we have recognised striker for the past 100 years plus? Yet this team has outgunned them all at this stage of the season.


26 Sep 2016 17:45:03
Frimino is a striker, Mikey is right. The clue is him playing up front.


26 Sep 2016 17:52:18
Agree with Mikey that Firmino is a striker.

However, I am pleasantly surprised with how we have spread the goals around - in the league we have 4 players with 3 goals (Countino, Lallana, Mane and Milner) with Firmino then weighing in with 2 so far. That's 14 of our 16 league goals from 5 different players. Gives us plenty of strength in depth should one or two either be injured or off the boil (excepting Milner of course, we NEEED him! ) .

Another reason to be happy :)


26 Sep 2016 21:36:57
Ings is the only striker who could match the Firmino up top in terms of work rate

Origi was quality when he came in last season looks to me he is a big confidence player (maybe due to age) dunno if he could match the two above for closing down

Sturrdige has the quality but not the bottle or work rate.


26 Sep 2016 14:08:12
Looking at West Hams situation i am so happy we have expanded the stadium rather than building a new one.

Although it shouldn't be an excuse but in terms of atmosphere the pitch being so far away from the stands must have some impact.

Believable9 Unbelievable2

26 Sep 2016 19:24:57
Having been to a lot of West Ham games, and one this season, the problem with their atmosphere was immediately clear - several groups of known trouble makers have been split up with the new ticket allocation. With them broken up the crowd feels less aggressive and frankly that's all the atmosphere there ever was - thinly veiled aggression.


26 Sep 2016 12:32:18
What Curtis Davies had to say about us:

"They didn't give us a chance to breathe. "

"Arsenal are a very good passing team, but a lot of their stuff is in front of you. "

"Nice little passes. Liverpool have that mix of nice little passes and then people who will run and run at you and beat you as well like Mane and Coutinho. "

Davies was also impressed by Liverpool's ruthlessness. Leading 3-0 after 36 minutes, against 10-men, they refused to take their foot off the pedal.

He added: "Last week against Arsenal, we had 10 men but it was a different performance.

"We were good. We kept hold of the ball but Liverpool, with their pressing game, they weren't going to be satisfied with 3-0. They wanted 6, 7, 8. That is the difference. Arsenal were like, 'We will sit, we will let them have the ball and then we will have it for another five minutes'.

"But Liverpool didn't give you a chance to breathe to be honest.

"It is hard to lay a glove on anyone. When there is so much inter-changing you cannot put your mark on one person. It is tough to make a tackle. One second Mane will be in that hole, then Lallana and then Coutinho.

"There is a lot of interchange, quick football and with the full backs playing like wingers it becomes very difficult because you end up with backs against the wall.

"They play with Henderson and the two centre-halves at the back and the rest can go where-ever they want. That is not an ill-disciplined thing, that is organised. "

"When we went down to 10 men then, if I am being honest, as a Liverpool I would be thinking, 'We can give them a hiding. Let's be ruthless. '

"And they were ruthless. ".

Love reading this kind of stuff. It's does seam as if burnley was a blip, and it wasn't just due to mane not being there. He is not the only one who runs behind.

Everything we did that day was in front of vurnley.

Long may this form continue.


26 Sep 2016 13:16:44
Credit to Davies for his honesty. He didn`t say what the rest of us couldn`t see. We were great but most importantly, the early goal was the key. Hull came into the game to frustrate us. As soon as the goal went in, their game plan went out the window. That is the point with playing a lesser team that parks the bus. You need that early goal. As soon as that goes in, then you can play your game but at the same time, always remain patient and concentrated especially at the back. On to Swansea and we`d better not let up in our focus and our preparation as they will be hard nuts to crack as City found out this weekend.


26 Sep 2016 13:29:42
How it should be, never give them a chance to breath, let alone get comfortable on the ball or even score a consolation goal, means next time they play us they will know they have absolutely no chance to string a few passes together and will go into the game already beat.
I belive sometimes the performance is as important as the result, all very well getting 3 points but completely dominant performances like that build up our reputation, teams will play us expecting to lose, under Brendan other teams always belived they could nick a point and never really gave up trying and often did nick a point or more.
I'm loving heavy metal football this season :)


26 Sep 2016 14:21:16
I don't think hull parked the bus like burnley did. We have to play a super defensive team that parks the bus in order to prove we can beat them. If we beat the likes of west brom, crystal palace etc who really park the bus and try to nick goals through set peices or the odd counter like burnley did, then we can say we overcame teams that parked the bus.


26 Sep 2016 15:12:59
Burnley are strong defensively and well organised and were a new team to Klopp.
They got an early goal and that set them up. We lost confidence and the rest is history. It was always one of those banana skins, there will be others, but not many.


26 Sep 2016 16:48:59
Well we conceded two stupid goals against Burnley. And takes the demon out of us. If it were our day it could have been 5-2 really. We couldn't just hit the target. More than credit to Burnley who did what was expected of them it was us who shot ourselves in the foot conceding two soft goals.


26 Sep 2016 17:38:04
We what down in 2 mins agaist burnley and shooting from 35 yards out . Sturridge playing on the wind did not help . Matip was not playing the new gk was not . We can forget the bunker game boys.


26 Sep 2016 12:27:57
Sorry if this is a repeat but couldn't find anything when searching.

Have you any input or opinions on the report Bayern could come in for Klopp?

As far as I'm concerned it's inevitable for Germany's top club to come in for Germany's top coach at some point.

Believable4 Unbelievable1

26 Sep 2016 13:04:48
Let them come.
There's been some acrimony between Kloppo, Bayern and its officials in the past. He's got a 6yr deal. He wants to prove himself in the premier league. He's won the Bundesliga twice already.
Winning the Bundesliga with Bayern is like shooting dead fish in a barrel. Winning the premier league with LFC and your name goes down in footballing history. 😎.


26 Sep 2016 13:08:04
Didn't he say he wouldn't manage Bayern?


26 Sep 2016 13:20:12
You may think Bayern is Germany`s top club but Klopp doesn`t and has never cared for them, period. Also if he rejected them before when he didn`t have a job (that he wanted, I might add), why would he give them any attention now when he has a job he loves and the club, fans and players love him with a 6 yr deal to boot? Come on man, think.


26 Sep 2016 13:22:59
Not really, for a german coach winning bundesliga and champions league with Bayern is like marrying your childhood sweetheart, it's a dream of any german manager. Klopp may not have articulate it but it is in his heart. He could very well gone bayern if Pep future is sorted out early and bayern offer at same time as Liverpool.


26 Sep 2016 13:30:40
I'm sure if Klopp wanted to manage bayern he could have by now.


26 Sep 2016 13:34:38
I agree ron, it will also be that much sweeter when we will the champions league with him again in a couple of years time.

I wouldn't let it concern you, klopp is a man of loyalty and integrity IMO, he'll be here for many many years and would go as far as to say if all goes to plan he'll give service to the club along the lines of ferguson and wenger which is rare in modern day football. Klopp fits the club, the fans have shown him love (well apart from a few on this site, luckily I wouldn't imagine he looks at Internet forums) from day one and he'll remember that! Rarely does a manager fit at a club and klopp does exactly that.


26 Sep 2016 13:58:04
I remember Ed002 mentioning something a while back (before we got Klopp) about Bayern wanting Klopp if Pep were to leave. However that was a long time ago and Ancelloti (spelling) is a top manager and should do well there.


26 Sep 2016 14:15:32
"Not really, for a german coach winning bundesliga ans champions league with Bayern is like marrying your childhood sweetheart"

I have to admit Leek, that's up there with some of your best 😂😂😂.


{Ed001's Note - shame it is not true as most Germans hate Bayern.}

26 Sep 2016 15:10:42
Ed002 has previously said something along the lines of Klipperty will be drinking tea in Munich in a coulple of years.
Things change quickly in football, I'm not going to worry about it. At one point everyone was worried Man City were going to come in for Rodgers, next minute he was sacked.

Best thing is to enjoy the moment 🙂.


{Ed002's Note - I did not say a couple of years.}

26 Sep 2016 16:06:51
He may not be the best manager but he's the best manager for us. I'm not worried about him leaving I'd be more worried of him being forced out by idiots. In the 6 weeks the season been going half of you have called him for everything. Now there is a love in. It's embarrassing. Stay loyal an SUPPORT.


26 Sep 2016 17:24:16
ed002 has said before that Bayern have wanted Klopp for a while. But he's not going any time soon.


26 Sep 2016 17:40:55
Seriously, Leek, are you posting this sort of garbage for a bet or do you REALLY believe what you are typing?

Klopp has already said he doesn't want to manage Bayern (Google it), and if you look at his managerial history, he loves a challenge. NOT winning the league with Bayern would be a bigger challenge.

Until we have won the league a couple of times, I cannot see Klopp wanting to leave. And even then, which Liverpool fan (and Klopp is a fan too, never forget that) wouldn't want to carry on and try to build a legacy rivalling Shanks or Paisley?


26 Sep 2016 18:27:04
Even Alex Ferguson recently admitted that Klopp is a good fit for Liverpool and the fans. I think he'll give us some years of service, unless there's a major change in the administration of the club.
For now, let's just sit tight and enjoy the ride!


26 Sep 2016 19:27:46
The average German football fans view of Bayern is very much the same as the average English football fans view of Liverpool and United as the most successful clubs in history - they hate them. And much like ours and United fans, Bayerns fans generally couldn't give less of a &%! #.


26 Sep 2016 20:18:55
Fair enough ed002, I wasn't quoting as I can't remember the exact words, was it 3-4 years?


{Ed002's Note - What I said Ron was I expect them to make the offer to him in 2019 - and that will coincide with when Gerrard will come out of prison and will be available to take over.}

26 Sep 2016 22:56:31
Kloppo is from Baden-Wurtemburg who have a rivalry with Bavaria, like Lancs / Yorks in the old days.
I think he is pretty much on record saying he can't stand Bayern and all they stand for as well.


{Ed002's Note - He would have already moved their if PG did not mess around.}

27 Sep 2016 06:55:44
Thanks ed002.


26 Sep 2016 11:09:48
Nice to see more or less 100% positivity on here at the minute, let's hope this continues should we have a negative result in the future! So remember people, keep the faith, no switching your opinion every other week!

Hey Morning Waro, and fellow Reds and Eds,

isn't it just :) the bickering and criticism on here after a loss is quite unbearable. It's amazing how winning in style and comfort can lift everyone's spirits. Long may it continue :)

I have no aspirations or expectations of the season, as long as we continue to improve, the next game will always be our most important match, until the next match, and the next. :)

Never been a doubter, but Klopp has made me super believer! Love the style and swagger at the moment.

Peace to all
YNWA.


26 Sep 2016 12:03:15
Well said redsanity, excellent reply 👌.


26 Sep 2016 12:16:40
Agreed Waro! I like this version of you :) hopefully the positivity remains after we play the Mancs. win lose or draw!


26 Sep 2016 12:35:27
Should be beating mid table teams like Manchester United, would be disappointed if we don't. Swans first though.


26 Sep 2016 13:22:27
The positivity is always here when we win. it is when we don`t win that we need true positivity to lift our spirits when things aren`t going well and trust me, those days will come. We just have to hang together and keep the faith when those days arrive. Off to Swansea and we should not let up in our support, regardless of the result.


26 Sep 2016 14:39:09
A "super believer"!
Nice one Red Sanity, I like it. The doubters will gradually let go of their negativity and join the believers.
We've had double the number of away games to home games, European football factor hasn't really kicked in yet, but we are in the top 4,having played some of our hardest away games.

Good post Waro 😉.


26 Sep 2016 15:52:35
Agreed waro 😊 top post.


26 Sep 2016 17:41:45
Completely agree, a refreshing change.

Surely FSG deserve a bit of credit in all of this, Waro ;-)


26 Sep 2016 07:59:40
Will matip, like mane miss games due to the AFCON?
If so then which teams do we play against?

Believable3 Unbelievable4

26 Sep 2016 08:09:53
I think Matip and his brother resigned from international duties.


26 Sep 2016 08:10:09
I think he Said he would rather Miss Out on afcon in order to Play for lfc.


26 Sep 2016 08:11:38
I'm sure I read matip was considering not going to help us, but they would both be in the squads.


26 Sep 2016 08:53:55
If our players get to the final they would miss the premier league games of:

Man Utd (a)
Swansea (h)
Chelsea (h)
Hull City (a)

However, cup games etc could get in the way and fixtures could get moved about I suppose.


26 Sep 2016 09:18:31
All very beatable teams, Ron. Just hope we have a fully fit squad for the next Burnley match 👍🏻.


26 Sep 2016 11:04:00
Can a player refuse to go on international duty?
I ask this because fencey mentioned that matip was considering not going in order to help us.


{Ed025's Note - of course they can shayan its an honour. but you may run the risk of not getting invited again mate..

26 Sep 2016 12:04:31
Matip seems to not be interested in the Cameroon national squad - not sure why but he also apparently refused his call up at the last international break.


26 Sep 2016 13:27:42
Matip has said categorically that he needs to be fit again to play regularly and he can`t do that if on ACON duty hence, he said he will not be going with Cameroon to the AFCON this winter. mane on the other hand, will be going.


26 Sep 2016 17:44:53
I'm intrigued. I googled 'Matip ACON' and can only see articles saying he is going as Cameroon have qualified and that he would miss 6 games. All of these articles are dated in July though. Can anyone reference a source of him saying he's not going?


26 Sep 2016 03:18:41
We are the only team with Henderson and two CB's at their position and the rest can play whether ever they wants.
This is a new evolution to the game. No specialist, No fixed position. Free as a bird.

Believable3 Unbelievable12

26 Sep 2016 07:13:07
You could argue Henderson isn't even playing his position with him playing slightly deeper and having a more defensive role than usual, but Clyne is definitely a recognised right back. It's nice to see though and long may it continue!


26 Sep 2016 08:41:23
You've never heard of Johan Cryuff and 'Total Football' then?


26 Sep 2016 08:51:31
Were definitely the only team with Henderson.


26 Sep 2016 10:28:27
Unless there's a clone of him yep I'd say.


26 Sep 2016 10:29:33
You been reading Hull captains Curtis Davis tweets chin.


26 Sep 2016 00:15:17
Not that this hasn't already been said, but what a class act James Milner is. Playing a position he would rather not, and putting his heart into it. Not to mention 3 for 3 penalties. Some see these as easy goals, but we have seen many missed And he is just spot on

Well done lad.

Believable22 Unbelievable0

26 Sep 2016 01:59:50
He's been performing well. But milner is not naturally left footed which may restrict him in some defensive and offensive situations. I still got nagging feeling Klopp is lining up someone in mind for the LB position and waiting for right time to bid.


{Ed002's Note - Klopp does not choose when to "bid".}

26 Sep 2016 04:31:29
Milner is doing well but I tell you what for the wage is on he should play in goal with a smile on his face if the manager asks him to. They are all on insane amounts of money - I don't think we should be lauding a playeer for playing in a different position they don't really like, it is not that much of a sacrifice to make in the grand scheme of things.


26 Sep 2016 07:23:03
Seano that comment is extremely unfair. Implying if you have lots of money you should be happy no matter what. All the money in the world won't make you happy if you hate your job. Not saying Milner hates his new position but just pointing out yours is a very simplistic view.


26 Sep 2016 07:37:09
Lee posting silly stuff again. I'm still convinced he is a troll, perhaps he is even Brendan Rodgers himself?


26 Sep 2016 08:16:14
Silly Lee!


26 Sep 2016 09:00:07
I agree, and he's exactly what the kids need to see, I run an u11s football team and use Milner as an example when the lads inevitably complain at their defensive position! (Not that it makes a jot of difference mind you . but I still use him haha)


26 Sep 2016 13:13:48
Sorry Seano but i completely disagree. A lot of other clubs will be willing to pay him the same amount to play in his preferred position so its not a matter of money.

He's being a great professional for doing the required job, decently so far, without making any fuss over it.

I think he should be applauded.


26 Sep 2016 13:45:45
Milner is just my type of player. Just happy to be on the pitch regardless of where he plays. I bet he hates being on the bench which I did when I played some footie. I would play CF and FB in the same game at times just to not come off the pitch.


26 Sep 2016 15:19:39
I think you've misunderstood my comment - it wasn't a personal attack on Milner, there are plenty of other players who earn a ton of money, my point is that when you're being paid of 100k a week you should be happy to play anywhere. Milner's job is to play football - Klopp's is to manage the team: I simply don't agree with lauding players for not complaining when played in a different position - it shows how much ego and preciousness there is in the game by the fact that people feel compelled to compliment a player earning over 100k a week for playing in a different position and not complaining - madness.


26 Sep 2016 00:07:00
I am so 2much like Milner bcos he could play anywhere.
