Hi eds,2 I've watched a few of the U18 games this year and I was really impressed with young McAuley, striker, he looks really clinical in front of goal. I was just wondering what you think of him as a player and what hope there is of him making it at Liverpool.
{Ed001's Note - I have not seen him play yet sorry. If it is the Irish lad, we only added him in the summer to the youth team. He is very highly rated though.}

I posted earlier about long, to get a feel of what supporters really thought about him. I must say I was surprised to see a 50/ 50 response. I am a pool fan from Ireland and would only love to see another irish man on our books, he is also a better footballer than a lot of ye are given him credit for. He scores all types of goals, great speed and does make runs at the right time. He does get dragged out wide at times but is a great crosser of a ball.
COYBIG YNWA.
{Ed023's Note - I'm also from Ireland and trust me I would love an Irish player playing with the club but Long just isn't one I would like us to sign.}

I know, heart saying yes but head says no.

Agree Robbie.
Nice to have the scouse, Welsh, Scottish and Irish influence at the club.
3.) 20 Jan 2016 15:37:35
Same here lads. I loved it when Michael Robinson, Aldo, Ronnie etc played for Ireland but Shane Long just isn't up there.
4.) 20 Jan 2016 17:11:22
Lads, he's just not good enough!
20 Jan 2016 08:37:30
There is so many lads on here bashing Shane long. Liverpool are mid table and need points. Klopp needs a striker who can pull defences apart and create space for oncoming attacking midfielders. Benteke is not clever enough and he will never make correct runs to create that space which long does all the time. I think he could be a good addition at the right price. 15-20 goals a season man.
1.) 20 Jan 2016 08:55:20
Shane Long has never scored more than 8 goals in a Premier League season. Ever. He is basically a 1 in 5 player. Not even close being a good enough player for LFC.
2.) 20 Jan 2016 08:57:28
Shame you wasn't manager in the summer Robbie could have saved the club 20 million. I totally agree it's all about styles mate and Long will score goals in a Klopp team. And I said at the time when we bought him that Benteke was lazy and way overpriced.
3.) 20 Jan 2016 09:18:27
Long never has been a 15-20 goal a season player barely even a 7 goal a season player.
4.) 20 Jan 2016 09:41:31
If you focus on Long being just a goal scorer he's not worth splashing out on but if he brings 8 goals this season and runs behind defenders creating space and goal scoring opportunities for the rest of the team, he might be an asset.
5.) 20 Jan 2016 10:51:12
Sorry but not one sentence of what any one has said is true.
Shane longs premiership totals are 2,3,8,8,3,4,5,5 (so far) that's 38 in 191 matches
People say shane long runs a lot and creates space, he does, it's just a shame that most his running takes him out far too wide to actually make an impact. He cosntantly tries to drag central defender wide with him toc reate space, but when they don't come he just carries on and puts himself wide vs the left back, in doing so he then occupies the space the right winger or wingback will be wanting to get into, he doesn't think about the next move, in dropping in between either to create indecisiveness or simply being able to receive and turn.
Throw in he requires a very high line to use his pace, even then his finishing is very poor usually when he does get in behind.
It's not about being in the right team. West Brom attempted to play to his strengths in having him up there with another pacey forward in Odemwingie and then also Lukaku, he didn't shine with either competent forward, playing counter attacking footbal with Odemwingie and getting between the lines, or getting in behind from a lukaku lay off.
This all elads me to believe shane long will not:
A get us the required goals from a striker
B create the space necessary centrall
C offer anything else lallana's Ibe's Firmino's workrates currently don't
We will be buying a 28 year old striker known simply for workrate (which we have in Firmino) who across several prem season barely gets more goals than Firmino already has, who will be replaced again if Studge or Origi is fit, who doesn't have a footballing brain and doesn't do much more than run head down toward the corner flag. We had that with Diouf for 2 years!
No thanks.

Hi eds. One quick post.
I am a true Liverpool supporter.
I will/should support our manager trough thick and thin. Br is my clubs manager. I think he is doing a great job. I love going to Anfield these days the football is class. He will bring success to Liverpool, for the love of God will so called supporters just get behind him and his team. Absolutely sick of reading negative posts. Positivity. I myself can't wait for the new season. Benteke 25-30 goals this season. Bring it on.

1.) 01 Aug 2015 14:32:02
With the money he has spent in the three years he has been here we have nothing to show for it, explain how he is doing a good job? There's a difference between being positive and being realistic, we will win nothing Under Rodgers in my opinion.
2.) 01 Aug 2015 14:58:04
The concept I don't understand is that if you don't support the club in some of it's decisions then for some reason you aren't a true fan whatever the hrll that means. Blind support is as dangerous as blind criticism. But there are some people who will criticize the club in every single decision
3.) 01 Aug 2015 15:18:03
I think there needs to be a middle ground. like it or not season before last was incredible for so many reasons and was not single handedly orchestrated by suarez. Last season was abysmal with the last few games being nothing more than pathetic. So I'm optimistic for the season like I am every season because why not? Br is the manager now until the point at which he is not. So yes criticise what has happened that was bad and praise what has happened that was good, but in regards to the future no one knows what will happen and anyone that says that the players we have given albeit unlikely circumstances can't completely blow our minds this season is ignorant in my opinion. So you have the choice to be optimistic or pessimistic why not just enjoy and think of the good that could happen this season instead of already writing it down as one of the worst in history.

This website has become so negative lately! Everyone seems to be complaining about something and are never happy, people demanded signing and then when he signed players everyone complained he spent too much! People need to accept the team we have and the manager we have and just support them instead of constantly criticising the team and manager before the season even starts! If come Christmas we're in 3rd place and doing well I'm sure you will be backing the team then! Everyone needs to stop complaining and start supporting what we have for the season we have. I think it's the best squad we've had since Benitez days! Exciting season ahead. hopefully! YNWA

I don't like our Manager, but I Love the club and obviously want the team to win every game. I believe our squad should be capable of performing at a high level. A season ticket holder for 30 yrs so my support of the club shouldn't be questioned, because I can't stand our self centered Manager. He took all the applause for finishing 2nd and let his coaches take the fall for last season.
6.) 01 Aug 2015 16:06:20
The football wasn't class last season
7.) 01 Aug 2015 16:57:27
Nice one Robbie IRL!
8.) 01 Aug 2015 17:05:37
We play Stoke, Arsenal, Utd, Villa and the toffees in our first 10 games. Last years same fixtures had A yield of 1 point. Standards would expect 10 from these games. You think Rogers is tactically capable of even 5 points from these?
Rogers is a buffoon and out of his depth and that makes absolutely no difference to me. I support LFC doesn't mean I have to support an individual of LFC.
My hopes are pinned on new backroom staff. I just wonder how much credit they will be given by Rogers if they do turn it round for us.
I suspect Rogers will be lucky to get past Christmas and still have his job.
9.) 01 Aug 2015 17:20:24
6 points clear after 10 games!
10.) 01 Aug 2015 17:36:44
Clear of what exactly?
11.) 01 Aug 2015 17:52:30
I'd guess Manchester City. Given how they have been defending might not be out of the question
12.) 01 Aug 2015 18:14:48
2nd placed team
13.) 02 Aug 2015 01:44:43
It's funny that people keep saying Rodgers has spend all his money on rubbish players then not to long before and after they say we have probably the strongest squad we have had. logic!!!
16 Jun 2015 17:04:44
I still can't believe that I am never going to see stevie G grace the Anfield faithful again. I think it's just hit me now. Eds how can we possibly replace that legend. half the players that we are linked with wouldn't lace his boots.
{Ed002's Note - Most on here spent last season trashing him.}
1.) 16 Jun 2015 20:03:46
Half the players we are linked with wouldn't have laced his boots - when he was in his prime - that day is no more. Whilst we may never see his like again, you have to look at it that we have been priviledged to have had him serve his entire career (to date) at Anfield, rather than slate the players who come after.
2.) 17 Jun 2015 00:47:25
Spot on, Andy!
21 Jan 2016 10:15:35
Ed001 if it's true that Ayre is out in Orlando florida, it's probably another Donald duck he's going to sign isn't it.
22 Jan 2016 10:31:36
Someone talking sense at last. Great post.

Give the kid a chance, I really rate this guy. I'm sick of so called supporters slating players before they hau ve even kicked a ball in vein for our great club. fair enough, there is a lot of dead wood to be got rid of butUn this guy will prove to everyone that he is TOP class. Coutinho to ings = GOALS. ðŸ˜
