I am from the UK originally prior to moving to Canada, The recent inquiries and outcomes are quite damming on the way Hillsborough was handled. Will not bring the people back but some closure for the families. I have a close affliction with the city of Liverpool and have supported the Reds since 1979 much to the chagrin of my family [emoji12] |
Neither of my teams are in the premier league,but I like both LFC and Arsenal.

LFC's finest left-winger
Quote:
John Barnes, the best left-winger I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Perhaps my fondest memories of LFC were during his time in LFC red... :D https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...3bf0b378_z.jpg |

Boo COYS! |

Barnes is one of my all time fave reds, Beardsley was seriously underrated. The overall creative playmakers back then would walk into the team today, even Bobby would thrive in front of goal with that level of service |
Let's open up the game!
Quote:
The point is that we don't have those kind of threats right now, so defenses are simply camping out in the final third and hoping for the Reds' defense to make a mistake -- and without defensive players like Virgil back there, that's highly likely. In other words, the present game plan being adopted by opposing managers is to go for the pseudo-Italian strategy of a super-tight defense and play for either a tie or a low-scoring win. It's a boring style of play, but it's been very effective, thus far, this season. I mean, as of late, we've either tied with or been beaten by teams that can barely stay in the EPL, so something's definitely gone wrong. :yes: |

This right here is spot on, Klopp himself must realize that the lower tier teams know they cannot play open football agains us, thus, they employ a low block and hope for a chance knowing we are somewhat complacent in defence without VVD. There were high hopes for Naby Kieta to be unable to unlock stubborn defences just as Coutinio was able to do, alas, injuries have not allowed him to impose himself on the team and style of play, further compounded by Thiago injury. Hopefully Thiago will be the key, We are still in a great position so long as we obtain a quality defender this month. We live with hope in our hearts. YNWA |

akitared..... I haven't seen Thiago play enough to form an opinion about how he might benefit our dear Reds. Although he's occasionally shown some spark, I'm not too sure about how well Naby Keita will fit into the big Klopp picture. I have seen Diogo Jota enough, on the other hand, and he seems to be a nice creative addition to the roster. What are your thoughts on him?
Regardless, we need VVD healthy and back there "escorting" the opposition away from Becker's 6-yard box. He is definitely the finest acquisition of the LFC Klopp-era. :yes: |
Quote:
Thiago can pick a pass of any sort, extremely technical player who will thrive at LFC once he adapts to the league. I am originally from Wolverhampton and did catch a Wolves game with my brother a couple of years ago, Jota is incredibly clever with his runs and positional play. Quite surprised that he was scoring so freely as soon as he joined LFC, he has always had a decent rate of return, but you would be hard pressed to find any football fan who isn’t surprised by how quickly he has slotted in and the goals he contributed prior to injury. |

70’s Mac Alaba is a non starter as he is free in the summer, we can sign him to a pre-contract this month. Bayern would still want a sizeable nominal fee for him during January as he is a first team player for them. We have been linked with so many defenders I forget who is who [emoji12] If I could pick one. It would be Upacameno from Liepzig I believe, he is young, technical and a great potential partner for VVD long term quality for us. Gomez is part of the next decade if he can find his fitness, Matip has a year or so at the top level given his injury record. Unfortunately I don’t believe the youngsters currently filing in from the reserves will make the cut at LFC long term. |
Just seen that we are linked with Vestergaard from Southampton, I quite like him, classy player, good on the ball and in the air, with a touch of pace. Could be a great option for us, EPL experience counts too.
Just one problem; We took Lovern from them so they bought VVD. We took VVD from them, they bought Vestergaard?!?! Lol |
Let's get Fab back to the midfield...
Quote:
The point is that the tough part about signing a "star" player is the baggage he brings with him. If a player can't adapt to Klopp, for example, he has absolutely no business being anywhere near Merseyside. As far back as I can remember, we've had respectable players, for the most part, so perhaps a young player that has real talent can come to Liverpool and become a partner to the great VVD. Although I've definitely seen him play, I'm not familiar with Vestergaard's defensive skills. Is he a fairly stable center-back? Does he have VVD type speed? We really need to get Fabinho back to what he does best, aye? :scratch2: |
It’s not the Klopp or LFC way to bring in a player with baggage. It’s fundamentally against the ethos and philosophy of the club.
Suarez truly was a mercurial talent for us, the intention was to have him play with Torres prior to Torres having his head turned. Love the mad bastard that Suarez is, a winner at all costs, alas, the way he engineered his move has left a sour taste in many fans mouths. I personally believe Vestergaard can grow into a world class player under Klopp and alongside VVD, agree 100% we need Fab back in his DM role asap. |
Let's Hope for the Best!
Quote:
As for Luis, what can I say? He crushed my heart like it was a Italian defender's ear. He earned the nickname "The Vampire," but he is still one of the most inventive forwards I ever saw. I mean, he was so damned good that, if he got into the open field, you felt like you you were witnessing genius...and perhaps that "sour taste" you mentioned was ear wax. :D I hope we get a talented young player like JV back there. Under the tutelage of Klopp and VVD, who knows how good a big fast young defender could become...and the faster we get Fab back patrolling the midfield, the faster we'll start to resemble our fantastic EPL championship season. GYR! :D |

Agreed on all your points, FSG do seem to have a strong understanding of what LFC means not only for the fans, but the wider community too. But most fans are also realistic enough to know they are businessmen first and foremost |
LFC v Man U
It looks like we won't be able to see the 17 Jan 21 match here, akitared, but I'll keep trying to find it. Perhaps we'll find a replay, so let's not discuss that match until I give you the word.
I'd rather see it later than not see it at all, and not knowing the outcome is the only way to watch a match. Hope all is well ~ Bill :thumbsup: |
Quote:
Hey Bill You didn’t miss much, to be fair I think we fortunate to draw the game as the Scum had the better chances. No idea why the attack is so impotent of late. We still have a few weeks to make some moves in the market. Upwards and onwards. YNWA |
Fab is fab!
The injuries this season have obviously taken their toll. It makes me see "red" whenever I think about how VVD was injured: with no consequences. That was one of the ugliest fouls I've seen in quite some time -- and then there was one that was even worse later in the same match!
The Reds must get heathy and, most importantly, must get everyone back to their natural positions. Perhaps, if the midfield can get back to their customary dominance, the front three can fall back into their routine(s) and begin scoring again. Quite honestly, Klopp must be dearly missing Fab patrolling that midfield on a regular basis. |
I was just thinking...
...about LFC some more, and it occurred to me that the EPL should institute some sort of rules against too many players in the opposing teams end at any one time. It reminds me of the rules the NBA instituted against the zone defense. The game became so boring that they had to mandate opening up the game for the sake of the league itself.
My point is that each team should have both an offense and a defense. This whole strategy of sitting back in defense and hoping for a breakaway opportunity to be handed to you is too basic and, quite frankly, has no place in a prestigious sports league like the EPL. Leave that sort of nonsense for the Serie A. GYRs!! :thumbsup: |
Nausea
I just finished watching the Burnley match and, quite honestly, I'd like to have that 90+ minutes of my life back. In fact, the title of this post pretty much sums it up for me. :yes:
|
They set all kinds of great records last year and they're setting all kinds of not so great records this year. Four losses in a row is terrible enough, but four losses in a row at Anfield! It reminds me of the days when top four in the EPL was a big deal.
|
Nice
I finally got to see the LFC at Arsenal FC match. Wow, it's been quite a while since I saw them play an open offense like that! Now, let's just hope that they can turn things around when Real Madrid come to Anfield, aye?
