GM Eds.

What is your thought about the winter transfer window and the remaining half of the season.? It was clear that we need to strengthen our attacking options as Sturridge fitness is uncertain and Benteke not scoring enough. Is those unwillingness to place bids for forwards means we are not bothered about the current season and just simply waiting for this to end.

As a fan its very painful to see the decline of LFC. No disrespect for Leicester, but just imagine if they win the league this season, that will be a disaster for us. The team who were at 2nd division and were on the brink of relegation last term winning league. And that to with an average team and unknown players before. Without changing our owners mentality towards the game, we can't achieve anything. LFC is not just business. Its passion and pride.

{Ed001's Note - how is it a disaster if Leicester win? Some bitter nonsensical posts about them coming through on here lately. If they win it will be good for the league, it will give everyone hope. As for the winter window, there was no one worth buying, so why buy just to please childish fans who have no patience and think the club is still declining? We were, then we sacked the moron in charge and now we are simply bottoming out as Klopp stabilises things. Just relax and enjoy the ride for the rest of the season.}

Klopp walked in to a mess as Rodgers left a completely unbalanced squad with no decent keepers and defenders who have forgotten the basics. Klopp is exempt from criticism for two reasons, the first being his work in Germany earns him time to put things right, two that he's not had a summer transfer window.

Thanks ed.

Finally the voice of reason. Yes like everyone, I'm disappointed with the results lately, however, we are in a cup final and still in the other cups.

The team has been struggling with injuries and klopp has realised that the team needs a lot of work, the issue is that fans want signings that are going to hit the ground running (difficult in Jan) and are getting on the back of the players that are on the pitch. We have a difficult run of games in terms of volume and that's been the case since klopp has taken charge.

Put studge, coutinho and origi in that team last night and we probably would have won. We were largely the better side until the wonder goal, yes a wonder goal from Leicester. I for one hope Leicester win it now because it proves that an unfancied team can take on the city's and the arsenals to challenge.

It's painful at the minute, but some positive things.
Moreno is young, undoubtably talented, so he's not the best defender, he'll improve.
Sakho is struggling for form and hasn't had a consistent partner for a run of games. He's our best defender by miles, get a decent partner for him in the summer and he will improve.
Most of all we have klopp. United, Chelsea and even Arsenal would love to have him.
We have a lot of tricks and flicks, but no end product. So what. The team will have massive inconsistencies until we get a solid spine.

Agree we need a goalie, but move on. Migs did ok, I don't think he's the answer, but he's got his contract so spend the money elsewhere.

Enjoy the ride and support the team. Yes it's hot and cold, yes Lallana can't choose the right pass, yes firmino needs support and benteke doesn't look 32.5m worth. Support the team, klopp will get it right. He can't do it in a few months.

To use the Leicester as an example, they were bottom last season at Xmas, so if they can surprise I'm sure we can shake things up.

Sorry for long post, just reading the usual abuse and think the ed got it spot on. Enjoy the ride!

Dennis

You said below Migs is a poor keeper. Whose is responsible for playing him week in week out? Who picks the team buddy?

{Ed001's Note - would you prefer him to use Bogdan? Stupid response.}

Leicester winning would put Brendan into shame when he screwed up the title at the very end. I honestly pray they do win against all odds.
A small town team winning the league with a very small squad courtsey of sheer hard work and determination would bring back some belief to the rest of the team.
I am actually loving them play week in week out and putting a great shift.
They Sweat Blood on the pitch.
Total respect and hatts of the players.

Ed01, Is Ward out Injrued mate?

{Ed001's Note - no.}

I am actually convinced that opposition players see Mignolet as such a poor keeper that any shot on target has a decent chance of going in. Vardy even admitted as much that it was Mignolets poor positioning that led him to taking the shot on as he fancied it to go in.

At the end of the day, giving Rodgers another transfer window and allowing him to start the season was a bad mistake and that is a large part of why things are as they are, frankly he should have been binned after the debacle at Stoke.

As it is Klopp has a massive job on his hands, is he up to it? Of course he is. The best thing we can do is get behind him. I would go back to the point that Rodgers assembled possibly the most unbalanced squad I have ever seen and that's what Klopp has until the end of the season and nobody that we were linked to could have changed that.

Our keepers are poor, our full backs haven't any idea on how to defend (Scouse Cafu aside), We are weak in midfield (Rodgers bought in Milner to be a centre midfielder, which is a baffling decision. ), we have no pace out wide, we are over loaded with number 10 type players, he (Rodgers) signed a player who was completely unsuited to the kind of play that he claimed he wanted (Bringing in Benteke after he had bombed out Carroll made no sense whatsoever) . Of course Klopp isn't helped by having Ings, Origi and Sturridge out long term injured.

Reality is that we aren't good enough to compete with the squad that Rodgers assembled.

If we make anywhere near top six and get some silverwear that will be a miracle.

we need to calm down and let Klopp do his thing. i for one cannot wait to see Danny Ings play for Klopp, he will shine big time.
