As any sort of pro player?

It is 8 years after all so.....

Flanagan i think may have made reserves with rafa was there but would have been same age and sterling

Andre wisdom was certainly one to watch in youth teams at end of rafas reign


But as a signing only lucas remains for rafa era


Frankly of the dalglish era only henderson remains and thats 6 years.

Like.....

Look at utd right now.

De gea
Jones
Smalling
Valencia
Carrick
Lingard
Young
Rooney

The fact is bar de gea youve kept too much **** so you are out of cl spots again.

Lfc have ended up with lucas and it rrally shows. **** knows why klopp keeps him round frankly.
<laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh>

So, so bitter :grin:
 
Don't care how you stick an angle on it mate. A injured player isn't something you should take pleasure from. End of argument.

Never took pleasure in it and I never said injured. Id prefer playing them suspended or dropped. This whole, much rather win against the beast team thing is nonsense. Does anyone remember if any of our opposition were missing players during all the finals we've won in every competition? No... do you think fans were any less happy by winning those finals because 1 or 2 players may have been missing? No chance. I don't wish an injury on anyone but that doesn't mean id rather play a weaken team than one at full strength.
 
you cannot be serious <doh>

Matip - Lovren or Klavan
Mane - Origi or Firmino or Coutinho

Milner - may be replaced with back 3.
it is not one for one replacement.

erm, what? :huh:
have you misunderstood what I'm saying about 1st choice and the 2nd choice replacements.

I didn't.

Gulf in 1st choice vs 2nd choice may be true for mid table or bottom half teams.
But not for top 4 aspiring one of the biggest clubs in England.

So you're saying not a big gulf in class between Milner, Matip and Mane and their replacements in Moreno, Klavan and Woodburn?

how about Lallana and Gini and their replacements Stewart, Ejaria, Lucas or Grujic?

Our squad is thin as **** and the difference between our first 11 and the rest of the squad is massive.

I am not saying there is no gulf.
no argument yours is thinner than Manu or City.

But calling Woodburn #2 for Mane is insane.

Full strength front 3

Cout Firm Mane

back up front 3

Origi Studge Woodburn

If you had to change any one of those 3 out you shouldn't really struggle too much, that said Origi and Sturridge are obviously really pissed off with being expected to act like whippets coursing hares and have downed tools so maybe you have a point.

EDIT......if you had to change all 3 at once there would obviously be a change in quality.

Yes, you're squad is paper thin despite spending a Kings Ransom in recent years

Oh well
 
But they have a very low "net spend" :bandit:
Only because the current [HASHTAG]#frauds[/HASHTAG] have drawn in the purse strings to pay for the meccano stand complete with obstructed view seats <ok>

They're still the 4th highest spenders in the last 5 years though....

Rafa invented "net spend" for them all to cream about, no other PL board mentions it. Most other teams have a squad though :grin:

We could spend £120m this summer and end up with a net spend less than Bournemouth, if things go pear on the retention front, it means little at that level
