Gutted for Sami! I'd like him to come work for us as defensive coach but it will never happen.

Evening all,

Poor Assaidi! Fella looks like he just wants to play football but I think his analysis is pretty spot on, I can't see him really going any further with Liverpool at this point. Also as someone pointed out before, in all the photos etc. (I know it's not a whole lot to go by) he just looks like he's got no mates at Liverpool! Dead cert to move to Stoke or a similar team for me, especially as he will probably turn a profit given that we signed him for 2.5M or whatever it was.

On another note, I know lots of 'transfer rumours' get thrown about which is largely paper talk and football hipsters who play a lot of Football Manager ("Any interest in Russianthirddivisionwonderkidinski Eds" etc. etc.), but just out of interest, who are we ACTUALLY monitoring/looking to sign? Does anyone know? Anything to report Eds?

YNWA,

Great second half performance, I am daring to dream now. But you know what? I won't feel let down if we don't win it. How far have we come under King Brenny?! Phenomenal this season from the lads.

Alright fellas, Liverpool fan from Southampton, first time posting here. Having read the posts you guys have made the past couple of weeks, I have a few things I wouldn't mind discussing with ya.

First half not great, Coutinho must be lying on his bed at home thinking it's Friday. Was v. surprised to see Sterling dropped for Allen as I thought Coutinho's recent performances warranted a short rest - Can't really see what Coutinho can do against a team like Soton. Sterling can't come on quickly enough.

Reading all the Skrtel (Not Skrtle!) and Agger hate recently and can't help but to think that, while Toure was the better option at the start of the season those two are our best option at the moment given their relationship after playing CB together for the last few seasons. They seem to be doing OK this game, Skrtel looks less panicky and Agger looking a bit more solid & composed like we're used to.

That said, this problem of our defence dropping deep is getting worse. Whose fault is it? It seems to have a knock on effect on the midfield making it more difficult for our guys to nip in there with potentially game winning (from a counter-attacking point of view) interceptions and tackles. Closing opponents down is one thing, but what use is it when you're not within reach in the first place? Opponents are given more space than our pressing game should be giving them.

Transfer policy next season. LB and CB definitely, a top quality goalscoring winger would be great, but hard to come by. Konoplyanka would be a decent signing in my opinion.

But why does everyone think we need a DM? We already have Lucas, who I don't think has had as bad a dip in form as everyone thinks - this is evident when he gets injured and everyone clamours for his return. Gerrard is being lined up as a potential 'Pirlo' - I'm not 100% convinced but we, as fans, can't influence these things, if it happens it happens. On top of that we have Hendo who can pretty much play anywhere in a midfield 3. Bear in mind we have Coady who maybe isn't performing to his potential just yet but is 21 now so will want first team football in the next couple of seasons. If we want a DM, he'll have to be a top top quality one to make any discernible difference, and I'm not sure we have the money if we want a top winger and CB as well. Which reminds me, what happened with Kyriakos Papadopoulos? We could have Mama & Papa in defence ;).

Anyway, please don't think I'm being negative, think we're in the best position to win the bloody thing than we have been for years and years. Manager doing fantastically and proving the doubters wrong. Strong youth system, players in form and a real sense of confidence now. Also, since I wrote this Sterling came on for Couts and we're 2-0 up! COYR!
