@MK Scouser
Just FYI,
Your input on this site is invaluable.
Your bright and self taught insight is awesome.
Not a lot of people can say that they always say their opinion and that their opinion matters almost all the time.
Yours does.
Even tho sometimes people will disagree with you, always remember that you are awesome and that your opinion matters so much to us.
I don't post often, but have been on this site for a long time, and i've learned that people like you are so valuable.
Just do your thing my man, just do your thing, we love it!
{Ed0333's Note - come out come out wherever you are MK

Its hopefully just a little bit of hide and seek with him.
Come out mate talk to us let us know what's going on.
I got your back.
2.) 07 Apr 2018 07:02:18
I don’t know what caused the guy to leave. I imagine some abuse, but I would encourage him to ignore it. Life’s too short to let the muppets bring you down. Heck, Harry often takes more abuse than anyone on the site (some of it is deserved at times 😋) but he usually sticks around.
That being said, as much as I value MK’s contribution to the site. the site will go on. If he wants to come back it’ll still be here. If not, oh well!
3.) 07 Apr 2018 09:06:30
Yeah, you're saving me a lot of time reading wellwritten articles, MK, and I really need to waste some time inbetween boring jobs, so please do come back.
4.) 07 Apr 2018 10:21:36
MK your views are invaluable to most of us here but there are only opinions at the end of the day. I wouldn't take things too much to heart, you have your opinions about a subject and people objected you'll always get that. Trust me I worked in the pub trade for 40 years and I definitely know what abuse really is. Would love to see your intelligent and informative posts returning to our screens again. Cheers Mk.

Regarding signings this window and how it will effect the teams competing for top 4.
-United done a good deal w/ Sanchez and I believe they will be top 4 taking into consideration they also have a atleast 3 point lead on the rest.
-Spurs seem to have done a good deal in Moura and are gaining form. We will see however if Moura will be the boost they are hoping him to be and if the will keep the upward form. They are for me favorites to beat Chelsea and Ars to top 4.
-City adding Laporte and with that more depth w/ quality at the back. They will win the league and hopefully win against our rivals.
-Chelsea got Giroud in hope that they will have someone when Morata struggles but I don't see him as a good signing and believe he won't help much. Wouldn't expect much from Barkley either. Palmieri I don't know.
Chelsea along w/ Ars are my favorites to finish out of top 4.
-Ars did well with Aubameyang but Mktaryan hasn't been playing well since his arrival to England so I don't see him helping much.
Auba will do good but already 8pts behind is too much imo.
-Liverpool lost Cou but we have a strong enough attack without him to continue to score goals. VVD will come good but after he get's ready, he wilk be a strong addition.
Final table predictions:
1.City
2.Liverpool
3.United
4.Spurs
5.Chelsea
6.Arsenal.
1.) 02 Feb 2018 18:13:54
I hope you are are right AB.
2.) 02 Feb 2018 18:58:00
Great read, AB. For me, I'm never worried about what other teams do cos in the end, it will all come down to 11 players on either side on the pitch and THAT is where the reality will be decided regardless of whatever anyone says or what their projections are. I trust Klopp and his ability to get us playing and performing thru out the season. Why? He did the exact same thing last season when Mane was injured for the last 6 weeks of the season and we had to change the way we play to get us top 4. That is testament to Klopp's ability to adapt and actually coach the players he has at his disposal to gain good results.
Also, Klopp has the ability to change formation 3 diff. times in one game cos his players are that good enough to execute these very well. We may lack Cou type creativity BUT you can compensate for that with better inter-play, smart movement and quick passing. This is what we did to City and Hudd and put 7 goals past both of them.
Now of course, there will be bad days at the office and sure, that is frustrating esp. knowing these players have proven that they can do better. We have enough players and versatility within the team to cope and if Bobbie is injured, Salah can play CF with Mane and Ox either side. We'll be fine and we are good enough to make top 4. Red Till I'm Dead!
3.) 02 Feb 2018 19:33:29
I agree BRover.
I think the 4-4-2 will do us a lot of good for the rest of the season and I think we might do that against Spurs for the weekend.
Last time they closed Salah well and we will need adapting to that in this game.
I have no doupt that Klopp will adjust us and we will have a good chance to win the game.
4.) 02 Feb 2018 19:59:03
What if 2 from Salah, Mane and Firmino get injured or lose form. Mane'sbinjury record isn't great so it is possible. Ox has been decent in the middle but he is not a shadow on them when it comes to goals or assists in the front 3 and neither are Ings or Solanke. That's not being negative it's being honest.
5.) 02 Feb 2018 20:19:22
True that Jayden23.
We don't have the same depth as before the window.
But we do have more depth at the back, and can use a back 3 if needed with wingbacks providing width.
Or we use 4-4-2 to acconodate to rest someone upfront or if someone is injured.
Imo we don't have as strong of a 4-3-3 without Cou because he would play a lot from the middle, so a lot of the times we had something of a diamond in the middle.
I think a 4-4-2 with Salah and Firmino interchanging as front 2 would be very strong.
6.) 02 Feb 2018 20:27:11
That is a big if Jayden with 3 months left. You could say the same about every team.
If the worst happened Ings and one other up front and a midfield 4. We would be more solid and still be a threat. I do worry about Firmino the one man pressing machin. Klopp should look after him. At 2-0 v Hudd he should be taken off asap.
7.) 02 Feb 2018 20:29:55
Yes please. 😎.
8.) 02 Feb 2018 20:31:55
Rattling good read that blossom, thanks for sharing.
9.) 02 Feb 2018 20:47:54
Agree Mark it is a big if and unlikely to happen. But so is expecting Mane, Salah and Firmino to maintain their best form with no quality back up and play every game for 3 months.
10.) 02 Feb 2018 21:10:07
I can't see us overtaking Utd if im honest. I was gutted to see Sanchez end up there.
11.) 02 Feb 2018 21:38:50
You're welcome Waro.
I enjoy your input on this website.
12.) 02 Feb 2018 21:48:04
We will just tweak the system Jay. Remember last year we actually ground out some good results during the run in. Nothing wrong with a few 1-0's.
13.) 02 Feb 2018 22:13:44
I honestly think injuries will decide TOP 4. If spurs have and injury to Kane, Chelsea to hazard or Liverpool to Salah / Firmino, the equation could change very quickly.
14.) 02 Feb 2018 23:39:15
w0rdsmith that's a good observation.
The thing is I believe we have more players we can rely on, that's why I believe Spurs and Chelsea will fight for 4th place and we and United will fight for 2nd.
15.) 03 Feb 2018 00:29:37
after the 1st leg against barcalona Chelsea have games against m. city m. united and spurs could drop a few points there hopefully we capitalise on it if they do.
16.) 03 Feb 2018 05:31:19
I think the mentality of our players will decide where we finish. If the players can stay motivated and professional like they did against Huddersfield, we do definitely have the quality to finish up there in table. However, if the players rest on their laurels after each win, then top 4 may be a struggle. With our team I'm not worried after a loss because I know we will bounce back, but I worry more about whether we can get a result after a win because of the mentality of our players. Hopefully with Hendo back we can play with more intensity and keep our boys honest.
17.) 03 Feb 2018 08:29:20
I know some will not agree but I think hendo playing is massive in us finishing in the top 4. I know we lost still but you could feel the intensity change when he came on against WBA.
18.) 03 Feb 2018 11:43:28
Agree LFC1974. Hendo is not a world beater but the pick of our bunch when it comes to dictating the pace of a game. Can and Gini are awful in this aspect. They have other qualities, but setting the pace is not one of them.
11 Dec 2017 13:02:07
We're against Porto.
Good draw but it will be a tough one.
I am confident in our success!
Does anyone have an in depth insight on Porto?
So we get to know our opponents more.
1.) 11 Dec 2017 13:19:56
Matches played 4
W 2
D 2.
2.) 11 Dec 2017 13:42:25
Porto are no pushovers and have been in the CL way more times than we have in the past 8 seasons so we must respect them as this will be no cake walk.
3.) 11 Dec 2017 14:15:31
as long as we don't make too many changes, we should be winning this tie .
4.) 11 Dec 2017 14:49:26
they have been in the ucl a lot coz there are only two teams in Portugal. three, I like the draw and really fancy us to get through over two legs.
5.) 11 Dec 2017 15:16:23
BRover - by that logic, Celtic would be an awful team to get drawn against because they are in it every year without fail!
Take your point though they do more than just make up the numbers in pot 4, but they are probably the best team we could have hoped for (about equal to Basel, but with the added excuse for a week in the warm weather in February! ) .
6.) 11 Dec 2017 18:51:30
Although I’m very happy with draw we got put off the potential opponents we could have drawn, Porto won’t be push overs and easy it’s rwally vital take them serious and most importantly get goal or two away from home, return leg at anfield is bonus I feel and so long we are up for the job and task I believe we are capable progressing.
7.) 11 Dec 2017 19:03:53
That was funny, Hijkle as I did not even have Celtic in mind when I made that comment.
03 Nov 2017 22:10:43
Opinion please.
Do you think that Lucas Leiva has the potential to become a successful coach/ manager after his playing career?
I believe he knows the game well and has a decent foundation of knowledge and could be good.
I think he's a rather smart fella.
1.) 03 Nov 2017 23:07:42
Hard to tell, better to judge him on that once he has actually coached somewhere. I'm fairly sure he's started getting his badges.
2.) 04 Nov 2017 09:31:58
He did some scouting for LFC during one of his knee injury lay offs. You get the impression he'll stay in or around football in some capacity though.
17 Oct 2017 21:44:06
Okey us battering Maribor, but Spartak battering Sevilla is insane.
We finish first in this group!
1.) 17 Oct 2017 22:33:13
There are no easy games in the CL anymore. Appoel took points off BVB, Spartak thumped Sevilla and Maribor took points off Spartak. The fact that we dominated all three of our our group rivals shows how good we actually are as a team.

If they have all been ricochets then he is the new Inzaghi and we have to buy him 😂.

Its hopefully just a little bit of hide and seek with him.
Come out mate talk to us let us know what's going on.
