So Mane might be fit for 20/ 25 minutes tomorrow. Gini is in pain and could play and Coutinho and Lovern are out.

Yarmouth

Good news to have Mane fit but let's hope it doesn't bite us in the arse.

{Ed025's Note - your thinking of suarez jayden.. :)

Any truth that some early talk's have taken place in relation to a takeover.

Yarmouth

1.) 08 Oct 2017 11:25:00
I was told months ago that Africa's Richest man wanted to buy lfc.
edd2 said it wasnt happening. I wonder if he has come to try to purchase the club.

{Ed002's Note - Not Arsenal then? Aliko Dangote has fgone on and on about buying Arsenal. So you think he might be negotiating over Liverool via Amanda Staveley in Newcastle on a Sunday? Even though the owners are on a different continent. Maybe you are right.}


2.) 08 Oct 2017 19:01:05
So is there anything in this takeover rumour or is it just garbage.

{Ed025's Note - absolute garbage ben..


3.) 08 Oct 2017 20:45:33
Well Ed what's happening? How's the family?

{Ed025's Note - familys fine thanks barry except for 2 of them being reds of course mate, i hope yours are good my friend..


4.) 08 Oct 2017 21:46:33
Ah the two red legend's Ed I hope they're keeping well mate. Yeah her in door's is keeping me on the straight and narrow. As for the two little red's of our own sure we'd be lost without them mate.

{Ed002's Note - if they he’d gone with DIC it would have been a cock up when DIC got screwed.

Apparently staveley is workin for the saudis who have taken a keener interest in lfc since the iranian bought into efc.

{Ed002's Note - Which "Saudis" are these? Will they be buying Liverpool out of spite for some "Iranian"? Why would she be at an away game in Newcastle on a Sunday? Have you been playing on Twitter?}


7.) 09 Oct 2017 03:51:03
I just don't understand why this lass (Stavely) is the "go to" person if you want to buy a football club. What is that all about? These multi-billionaires can't do a deal without her? She seems to be doing ok for herself outside of the football industry. So why her?
If I wanted to buy a football club I think I'd approach the owners directly rather than some intermediary.

{Ed001's Note - because these deals need someone to sort out the minor details and negotiate all the sticking points. She is one of the best in the world at doing that. If you don't use an intermediary, you will never get close to signing.}


8.) 09 Oct 2017 05:18:43
Does she exclusively deal in football clubs?

It just seems a bit weird to me that she's always involved.

{Ed001's Note - she is just the one people know about. There are lots involved, Jorge Mendes for instance, but they are just not noticed as being there for a club as people assume it is about players when they are doing deals.}


9.) 09 Oct 2017 07:11:15
Ok thanks ed 👍.

{Ed001's Note - you are welcome mate.}

"Fsg slap 1 billion pound price tag on LFC" acording to radio city news this morning.

{Ed001's Note - what happened to the days when news was actually news and not just reports on what other 'news' agencies are reporting?}


11.) 09 Oct 2017 10:35:34
i live in the same village as Amanda Staveley's parents she is married to an Iranian Business man. her company PCP brokered a deal with Barclays and GUlf investors, and then did the Man City deal. she has loads of gulf contacts and that is why she is used to broker deals oh and she is good at her job. it is Newcastle that is for sale.


12.) 10 Oct 2017 23:16:10
Edd 2 is correct he won't be buying the club. I was told months ago and posted what I was told. and Edd 2 cleared it up then.
Just thought as the arsenal deal had not gone through he might of turned his interest to us. Cheers Ed 2 for clearing that up. Have a great week.


13.) 14 Oct 2017 15:59:01
From what I heard he murmurs were more of a 'eff you' to arsenal than general interest.


14.) 17 Oct 2017 06:59:24
So Newcastle it is then that they were looking at.

{Ed001's Note - we know, we told you all that at the time.}


15.) 17 Oct 2017 15:02:18
Yep ED001 you guys did say right at the start.

6.) 18 Nov 2017 10:35:54
Let's get behind them guys. Gomez and lovren to strike up a fantastic partnership. Lovren has had a bit of time away from the spotlight. Maybe he's sorted his head out.


7.) 18 Nov 2017 10:40:12
aoe, have you seen the way he marked his opponent during a corner recently in an international game?


8.) 18 Nov 2017 13:08:02
Nope I was busy hiding away from the world after Denmark came to town- if you made note of it, I'd imagine it's another dreadful piece of defending from him. In error I meant to leave a question mark about their partnership. Personally I'm just desperate for the lad to get through this dodgy period until klopp finds an answer (which I still believe isn't necessarily a new centre half) . I believe the back line needs far more protection and I'm still hoping masterson gets a call up, even though he might not be ready. I heard a rumour that O'Neil might be calling him up for Ireland soon enough. (If he actually stays in the job)

So Tony Barrett has set up a petition to get rid of Michael Owen as club ambassador. To be fair I think Owen has an incurable disease called foot in mouth disease.

Yarmouth

1.) 13 Nov 2017 19:28:57
He set up the petition in May after Owen referred to Man U as "we" whilst commentating on the Europa League Final.

Leaving Mr. Owen aside, I've always had a problem with employees of a football club doubling as commentators and pundits. You're either one or the other, like.


2.) 13 Nov 2017 22:59:32
Totally agree, something. How can Gerrard offer an opinion on a Liverpool loss, he’s an employee for crying out loud, can hardly come and and say Klopp got things totally wrong today etc.


3.) 14 Nov 2017 00:45:02
I always believe when gerrard used to do punditry on champions league matches because he was injured and couldn't play was a disgrace.


4.) 14 Nov 2017 08:38:58
Agree Woolback. Love him or hate him, but John Terry would've been in the dressing room on crutches barking out orders.

Gerrard was never a proper captain though. He was lucky to have so many leaders in the team with him like Carragher, Hyypia, Reina, Agger, Mascherano, Suarez etc. Gerrard just led by example and inspired people with his ability.

I don't think leadership came naturally too him at all. Remember when he tried a huddle "we do not let this slip"? It was cringeworthy and looked put on.

If he was a genuine leader he wouldn't have been doing punditry on our matches. I remember after the Besiktas game, Gerrard was lambasting Henderson for giving Balotelli the ball at a penalty. I was sat in the Kop that game and I'm convinced that the reason Hendo left it for Balotelli was because the whole stand erupted with "let Mario take it". Gerrard perhaps would've known that if he'd been pitch side instead of sipping Champagne in the studio 😕.


5.) 14 Nov 2017 10:32:50
Never a proper captain. could not disagree more. Just because he wasn't a loud mouthed thug like Terry? captains come in all shapes and sizes, leading my example is a very commendable attribute in itself.


6.) 14 Nov 2017 11:05:49
Stuie, he was inspirational on the pitch, and could win games single handedly but that is not what a captain should be in my opinion. A captain should be a leader on and off the pitch. Not getting embroiled in court cases every few years.

A captain should be the one managing players mid-game, putting his arm around young players, talking to team mates etc. Gerrard played his own game and ignored everything behind him. World class player. Bang average captain.

That is just my opinion though, i can see why people would disagree. I just think Carragher was a better leader than Gerrard by a mile. Gerrard always seemed too arrogant. I have been massively impressed by his attitude since retiring though. Not many household names are happy to go and coach u18's. Giggs for example seems to think he deserves a top job right from the off! It suggests Gerrard has humbled with age.


7.) 14 Nov 2017 11:40:25
I get what you're saying, Carragher and Gerrad worked so well together on the pitch as Carragher was vocal leader, giving players a bollocking if needed, whereas Gerrard led by sheer determination and example. But to say he was an average captain is i think a massive disrespect to the man. There has been many examples of young players saying how involved Gerrard was in their careers.


8.) 14 Nov 2017 12:11:21
I've read a lot of people say he was their idol, but i never heard any stories about him helping out the young players in the team. Not like you hear about Lucas, Ings and Sturridge.

I don't mean it disrespectfully. I loved Gerrard. I am brutally honest with my opinions though and i just don't get why he was captain. He is probably the 3rd best player to play for Liverpool in my lifetime though so i have utmost respect ability wise and his passion was undeniable. It rubbed off on others, hence how he led by example.

In games where we needed a calm head though and concentration, Gerrard was a muppet. He'd either shoot repetitively from range, start flying into tackles, start attempting the Hollywood pass every time etc. He lacked composure when it was needed.

In 2014 when he slipped, we were still in that game. There was 45 minutes for us to get a goal which would've been enough (a draw there and we win the league) . Gerrard decided he wanted to be the one to get the goal though and must've had at least 5 long range shots in the second half. He clearly blamed himself. Without Carragher there was nobody to calm him down. If he'd just kept his head and continued to play the way we could, we'd have had a much better chance.

In 2005 he got taken out of midfield because he was running about like a headless James Milner. Hamann stepped in with a bit of composure at half time, which allowed Gerrard to go and attack without any responsibilities, and that changed the game.

When it came down to crucial moments Gerrard panicked and tried too much. It's hard to get angry at him for it because he just really cared. In 2006 when he scored that last minute belter to make it 3-3, it was amazing. He won that final for us because everything came off. His Hollywood assist for Cisse, both his volleyed goals, and his penalty in the shoot out. When it went right, it was an absolute priviledge to watch. If that last minute equaliser had gone wide it would've made him look like a fool.

That right there epitomises Gerrard's biggest problem, but also his biggest strength. He didn't think about anything. He just did exactly what he wanted to do in the moment. The problem with that kind of genius is that it either works and you are a hero, or it doesn't and you're a passenger.

I just prefer a captain to be more consistent, more composed and willing to put their own performance second to ensure they get the best from those around them. Gerrard was a flair player. Impossible to predict because he didn't even know what he was going to do next.

You are spot on though, the contrasting styles of leadership from him and Carragher complemented the team so well at times. If Carragher had been on the pitch against Chelsea in 2014, they'd probably both have celebrated a league title.

In hindsight it is perhaps unfair to say he wasn't a proper captain. That is subjective and i misrepresented it as a fact. What i should've said is he is not my idea of a captain. Respect your views though stuie. You're one of my favourite posters on here generally so please don't take anything in this debate personally ☺.


9.) 14 Nov 2017 13:04:24
Always wondered, was stevie supposed to take the pen vs Milan in the game or was alonso always the peno taker?


10.) 14 Nov 2017 13:44:04
Yeah i do understand what you mean, though i like to think of his displays as him grabbing the whole team by the scruff of the neck, realising nothing was going to get done unless he did something himself, which to be fair, was usually the case! I agree that when Carragher retired Gerrard lost a massive part of his game and maybe things would have been different if he was still there in '14. I guess it is also difficult to analyse his time as Captain because he was captain for so long and his position was never threatened.


11.) 14 Nov 2017 14:29:59
If you study any form of leadership though, it will always come back to delegation. Taking on everything yourself is not the mark of a good leader, it is the mark of a good individual. Good leaders accept that they cannot do it alone and spread the work load. For all Gerrard's abilities, he only won one major trophy in his entire career and scored less goals than the far less talented Frank Lampard.

He under achieved. Mainly because his team mates were mostly not at his level, but in large part because he sometimes tried so hard to do it himself that it was detrimental to the team. With Carragher alongside him, he seemed a far better player. As soon as Carra was not a regular (2010-) Gerrard looked half the player. He was basically just a passenger from open play but his world class technique meant he still hit double figures in goals and assists mainly from set pieces until he retired.

A real shame, because i think if he'd had better team mates, he might have trusted them more with the ball and it would've made us less predictable. He also looked far better alongside Torres, Alonso and Suarez than he did without them. I think he recognised that they were all also at his level and it made him a better player to play with people he could trust with the ball.

Taking on everything yourself though is never the way to achieve success. You have to put trust in others; even if you think you could do something better yourself. Nobody can do everything alone.


12.) 14 Nov 2017 15:36:45
I think you answered that yourself though, we never consistently had a great squad. Yes we have had very good teams, notably with Alonso etc, but that was always just a great spine. Lampard had the luxury of playing within a world class squad. If Gerrard didn't have that determination to it on his own, i personally believe we would have lost a lot more than we would have won.


 

 

12 Nov 2017 14:56:51
Reading a lot of guff from Adam Lallana in various outlet's and sports pages. He was at this last season and then couldn't back it up against the so called lesser clubs. He should learn to keep his mouth closed and concentrate on trying to win trophies.

Yarmouth

1.) 12 Nov 2017 15:28:47
I’m going to recycle other peoples views and pass them off as my own for brownie points 🙄 he was one of our best players last season when we made the champions league and for half a season challenged for the title. Your point predates the more recent facts. Ignore the press, ignore what’s said in the press. All he and every other person says in the press is A: what they’re told to say. B: what they think everyone wants to hear. C: totally scripted by the press officer with approved questions and prepared answers.


2.) 12 Nov 2017 16:52:27
Lesser teams doesn’t give you space and Lallana can’t operate when there is no space! So he becomes limited! Doesn’t have the vision to pick players to drop in the middle either! Poor passer of the ball aa well.


3.) 12 Nov 2017 17:40:20
Lallana can’t operate in tight space 😂 his touch and technique is so good he creates his own space without needing pace unlike the rest of our players apart from bobby and Phil. Harry you’re hilarious.


4.) 12 Nov 2017 18:13:44
Yes that’s news to me Jezza. Never watched him play mate. You might be right. third after Phil and Firmino! I don’t look beyond Coutinho 😎😎😎.


5.) 12 Nov 2017 18:24:51
Has lallana actually been interviewed? Pretty sure recent articles have been based on his excerpts from a new bio on klopp.


6.) 12 Nov 2017 18:42:04
Lol Harry come off it mate, you've come out with some brilliant ones today I'll give you that. Just to let you know though, it's not april fools day today! :)


7.) 12 Nov 2017 19:17:52
Spot on, Jezza. It is due to Lallana's guile and skill that allows him can actually operate in tight spaces. A poor passer of the ball? Just brilliant.

Have Liverpool turned a corner in relation to beating team's that games focus totally on defence? They should a lot of composure the last couple of games and didn't get frustrated. As for Matip Ed01 has been spot on for example at one point last night he just stuck out a lazy leg and let the Maribor player by him with ease. Anyways happy with the win onwards and upwards.

Yarmouth

1.) 02 Nov 2017 09:25:55
West Ham will be the real test in my opinion, very few teams come to Anfield to attack these days and we have conceded 1 goal in the PL at home compared to 15 away goals.


2.) 02 Nov 2017 09:31:58
I wouldn't read to much into Maribor and Huddersfield were at Anfield where we've had no problems. West Ham is the litmus test, if we get a good result there then I'll start getting optimistic again.


3.) 02 Nov 2017 09:39:36
So far this season we've played 3 teams in the bottom half of the league. Palace, Leicester and Huddersfield. We've beaten all 3 of them 1-0, 2-3 and 3-0 respectively.

In the Champions league, there is a clear weakest team in the group and across both legs we've beaten Maribor 0-7 and 3-0.

Every game we've played where you would say we should be winning, we've won. The draws against Burnley, Newcastle and Watford are frustrating as Mignolet cost us all 3 games with an individual error, but those 3 teams are destined to finish in the top half of the table this season and he likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham have all dropped point against them too.

I think the real issue is the manner in which we capitulated against Spurs and Man City. It has put a real negative spin on an otherwise decent season so far. To lose both games by such an embarrassing margin has made us a bit of a laughing stock. Though keep in mind, we made Arsenal a laughing stock as well.

Top of our CL group, and just 4 points off of 3rd place. Looking at our fixtures so far, I'd have taken that at the start of the season. It will be tough this year though. There are 6 teams good enough to finish in a CL place. I think we have enough to climb above Arsenal and Chelsea though. They look poor this season. We have to carry on dismantling teams in the bottom half though, starting with West Ham on Saturday!


4.) 02 Nov 2017 10:03:23
I agree with you, MK. We are top of our CL group and are 3 points off 4th and 4 points off 2nd. We are 7 points off 2nd BUT that can change this week if we win and certain results go our way. We have done much better vs low block teams this season than last and the numbers bear that out.

The problem is that the manner in which we lost the two games we lost (with the errors that come with them) and the way we drew to Newcastle and Watford (the Burnley game is diff. IMO cos we created enough to score 3 goals and had a penalty nit given) that caused the panic and the media in their diabolical way, pounced on it. They are quiet now BUT they will be back on Sat if we lose to WH and the defence crashes again.

Top 4 will be tough this season so it will come to who can beat the lesser teams and win it's home games on a consistent basis. As for Chelsea and Aresenal, if Chelsea lose to Utd then Conte will be up against it and Arsenal are one hiding (at City? ) away from meltdown mode.


5.) 02 Nov 2017 13:14:34
for me even the battering we got at spurs or city makes any difference. my concern is that i don't see progress in the whole team. As Mk said in one of this post that players are playing out of position, there is no DM to cover our fragile defence, these are my concern which are not being addressed at this moment. yes we are still in the runnning for 4/ 3 but are we really improving? do we see the team different from the one last season? we are still struggling to break down defence. i personnaly don't see a lot of improvment from last season, my favorite thing from last nights game was the second goal, 1-2 and boom right corner. those are the fast play i like to see. we can do it but we as a team likes to pass sideway, backwards and even forward without any real speed or intent.


6.) 02 Nov 2017 15:15:07
Crazy, how are we still struggling to break down defenses when we just smashed two low block teams 13-0 in three games? We also beat CP 1-0 at Anfield. The only teams we failed to beat were Newcastle and Burnley, in games were we created enough but did not take our chances and by the way, we took points in those games as against last season where we would have lost those games. I know you dislike Klopp and you wanted him gone but now, you are just moaning for moaning sake.

You say you want one-two BOOM type fluid football. How is that going to happen with a team playing 10 men behind the ball esp. without 3 of our most creative players in Cou, Lallana and Mane? Klopp is winning games w/ o his creative players vs low block teams and that is progress already BUT clearly, it may never be good enough for you cos the guy cannot do anything right in your eyes.


7.) 02 Nov 2017 16:15:34
if Liverpool as a team was really improving we would be higer up the table. everyone around us is playing bad but we Lfc give each other the assurance than we are only few point away from 4 or 3rd. Instead we should be taking full advantage of every other teams failure and mount a proper challenge instead of silly excuses.
yes the last few games have been good but please don't tell me there is marked improvement in the team. every team has injury so Kloop is not the first one to encounter this.

The report is coming from the National newspaper based in UAE. A paper which is known for its skewed reporting in the past. It is also owned by the owners of Man City. Maybe it's a bit of rocking the boat so I would take it with a pinch of salt.

A performance like would be unacceptable for any team not just Liverpool. It's the same player's making the same mistakes over and over again. Is it to much to ask player's that are getting paid thousands and thousands of pounds a week to get the basics right? Klopp had the summer to get a CB in and he chose to stick the with the one and only out of the 500 the club watched (his words) that wasn't available. He has to take a portion of the blame. An absolute embarrassment yesterday but we all know it will happen again because issues weren't or aren't addressed.

Great review as usual. Interesting what you say about VVD I think it's gone to the stage that any CB will do in some eyes. They fail to see the bigger picture. Forster the worst keeper in the league takes some beating considering Mignolet play's in it, lol.

{Ed001's Note - I know mate, I was shocked by just how bad Forster was. He has never been great, or even good, but he is usually able to at least fill the goal.}
