So everyone's moaning about our defense and how Skrtel is shocking at defending and Lovren not far off, this I don't deny.
One of the greatest things I think the puchase of Benteke will do is highlight just how poor the pair are and to what level. When Villa came to Anfield Benteke thrived against our defence and now he is our player, what I'm getting at is imagine training this year Benteke is going to wreck most of our defenders.
Now some will rise to the challenge of Benteke and I can see many crumbling. Skrtel will be praying Benteke is on his side in training games and if this year doesn't provide an examination in how bad our defence is then the coaching staff are blind.
Ings will be making constant runs in behind, Benteke will be sheilding the ball, Coutinho finding pockets, Firmino using his trickery so all our defenders should come on leaps and bounds in theory this year as training will highlight their flaws long before Stoke city do.
Peace!!

I get your point but benteke isn't going to be using his strength in training like he does in games, he's not going to be flooring skrtle every 5 mins.
Also why isn't villas defence brilliant?
2.) 25 Jul 2015 20:11:25
Two goals out of all he scored against us were due Allen not able to put in a tackle when Benteke was bursting through the midfield.
His goals have come through the middle as none could simply stop him with a tackle.
14 Jul 2015 10:51:01
I think Benteke will be a good signing! People moan that he won't fit our style and that he won't press but C'mon Sturridge hardly leads by example on that front.
Suarez motivated him to press in there time together the guy was infectious and I think Firmino has that quality- He'll get a card or two this year. Sturridge does'nt go harassing defenders, he picks a side and prevents the CB from playing a square pass.
Benteke if asked to can do this and the lads behind him have the engines Milner, Hendo, Firmino to engage in the same press. I don't know what style we'll persevere with this year all I know is with our service Benteke will get more than Kane this year.
Peace!!

As with most topics , it's all about opinions. My main worry about Benteke is that while Firmino , Coutinho and Lallana weave effective, flexible patterns behind him, the big lad won't have a clue what is going on.
If he signs I hope I am wrong but, having seen his display in the cup final, I think he is more suited to a more direct approach. Traditionally, our midfield has tried to be a little more cultured than that.
2.) 14 Jul 2015 11:13:56
You think benteke will press? What in his games at Villa you have watched have even remotely suggested this?
3.) 14 Jul 2015 11:22:07
Benteke won't press anymore than Balotelli does! He could be effective if he plays with Studge, Ings or Origi as they will press and create space but the money quoted is absurd. Walcott would be a better and more cost effective option if he was interested in moving
4.) 14 Jul 2015 11:32:09
If Arsenal is certainly pushing for a striker, Walcott would be available and to me it would be an excellent adition. wouldn't need to break the bank. ( only concern of his injury records )
5.) 14 Jul 2015 11:37:30
Lets put this into perspective for everyone. It's quite simple. Benteke has scored more goals against the top 6 sides than Suarez and Sturridge combined. Just saying !!!!!!!!
6.) 14 Jul 2015 12:05:21
Simonpw - that's an interesting stat but you have to put it in perspective. Suarez and Sturridge did not have the luxury of playing against our defense! Benteke however has and if I remember well he has popped a few against us - a top 6 six making his stats look good!
PS your name comes up as dominoes in predictive text, interesting but useless fact! :)
7.) 14 Jul 2015 12:52:38
Squiresy, to my knowledge he has 4 prem goals against us in 4 games
8.) 14 Jul 2015 13:34:32
Erm Simon PW I have Suarez on 11 Studge on 12 and Benteke on 12. How does that work?
Liverpool,Spurs,Utd,City,Chelsea,Arsenal I am sure you're insinuating in the top 6 thing
Never mind the fact Sturridge played for us and Chelsea thus eliminating 2 games a season for himself,and Suarez as well as Sturridges loan to Bolton where he couldn't play vs Chelsea.
Did you just make that up in your own little dream land?
9.) 14 Jul 2015 14:17:35
Simonpw that's my point! Our defense anyone can score against. Stats don't prove he's a good signing. The only thing to prove it will be to see if he does it for us - by then it is too late!
14 Jul 2015 00:35:00
I think the unexpected departure will be Alberto Moreno. Ever since Enrique started corrupting the spanish contingent I've felt like Moreno has been doomed.
His mate Manquillo has gone now and although Moreno has potential I don't think he'll ever master the art of defending. If I were to really stick my neck out and expose my crazy thought process I'd swap/Buy Moreno for Cheryshev and hope he becomes the next Bale, bombing down the wing.
None of this has any substance, purely my thoughts on the matter.
1.) 14 Jul 2015 06:12:36
So we play without a LB then?
2.) 14 Jul 2015 07:06:19
I have been racking my brain as to who this surprise departure could be, and i have come down to two midfield players i think it could be (and probably still wrong lol). Mainly as we have been linked with a move for Kovacic. The first player i was thinking is Joe Allen. For some people this may not be a surprise but for some it could be as a lot of us think he is a favourite of Rodgers. The other player i'm thinking is Emre Can. I wouldn't be thrilled with this but i can't see Lucas leaving with him being asked to stay in January. To be honest i think Allen probably needs to move on regardless. But if at the end we had Henderson, Milner, Lucas and Kovacic i would be more then comfortable with that. i'm probably way off lol but this is what i have come up with.
3.) 14 Jul 2015 07:25:42
You would be wrong. Moreno is the only LB LFC have and you think we will sell him? Moreno awaits Real Madrid's call and they will probably in the future, not now.
4.) 14 Jul 2015 10:49:51
I have a pretty strong feeling that the player is Lallana. I'm not 'in the know' or anything but after thinking about it for a while I think he's one of the only players who makes much sense - only been here a year and isn't expected to leave so fits the 'surprise' billing, and was unable to to nail down a position in the starting 11 last year (through no fault of his own, I add) in a a position that has become even more competitive this season. I hope it's not as I do like him, but it just makes a lot of sense to me.
5.) 14 Jul 2015 10:02:47
Madrid will sign gaya in the future because is better than moreno.
6.) 14 Jul 2015 12:39:30
Well, I'm convinced it's a centre back. Skrtel, illori, Gomez, sakho, Toure and Lovren is a lot of players all being promised game time next season.
Surely someone is leaving. Ed002 had said Illori and Gomez will be given game time which refutes the idea that Gomez will be sent out on loan - although perhaps a 6 month deal at Derby like Ibe had could be possible with 6 months back at the club then.
Skrtel has just signed a new contract and I might be wrong but I think Toure did too (not sure on this though). That leaves sakho and Lovren. Could we potentially see one of these two leave?
02 Jul 2015 21:22:18
I can't wait until we sign Benteke get our inbound transfers wrapped up before the window opens, then have to deal with people asking about constant links to players for a month we've no intention of buying as the chequebook will be closed.
Once you minus the QPR portion of the Sterling fee from the total, that probably covers the Benteke outlay by itself. Which will mean we'll have to sell all the excess squad players to cover as much of Firmino, Clyne, Ings, Gomez fees as possible.
Coates, Aspas, Alberto, Lambert will probably cover Gomez, Ings fee. Borini, Balotelli will go some way to cover Clyne fee, pay off Enrique before he turns Moreno into a clown! Then I would hope we sell Skrtel, Allen to minimise the hit from Firmino.
Simple as really
1.) 02 Jul 2015 23:54:51
and this is why we don't talk about money.
2.) 03 Jul 2015 09:07:27
I bet ed002 had a chuckle at this.
21 Jun 2015 19:05:34
Dont want to jinx him-
Now for the Tiago Ilori show with Portugal u21, Kane still in his pocket.
{Ed030's Note - He needs to be given the chance by Rodgers,

For me Flanagan is the second Left back and Wisdom the reserve right back two good 'defenders'. Flanno was great on the left rather than the right. Moreno/Clyne? being better in attack!
24 Jun 2015 00:17:49
I genuinly believe we don't need another striker, I'd go into next season with Sturridge, Origi, Ings and Firmino as my four. Sturridge being out helps as rest get game time and they'll want to take the chance they've been given due to the injury. Then Youth come after that for me
20 Jun 2015 16:54:14
Agree apart from Tiago Ilori, he has to make the first team next season or atleast a premiership loan where the loan club signs to a clause of 20+ games (Ex Sunderland) I would of had Sakho, Lovren, Ilori and Gomez as my four to gel in Pre-season. Kolo would never have got a new deal and Skrtel would be out the door for 8-10Mil. Upto Sakho or Lovren to tie down LCB while the other try cement RCB.
What are the chances Rodgers.
13 Jun 2015 12:09:56
I'd love Montoya, just not while we have the circus that is Enrique influencing these spaniards!
