he's saved swansea in conjunction with siggurdsson being able to play the right balls to him

Its one trick and he's slow as ****.

Its like this... if you look back through swansea prem years you can pick the big man out and measure their fortunes according to their effectiveness. thats how they set up and play but its not how we set up and play.
True, he is very slow but he's quick enough when he needs to be in a goalscoring position.

sure.

cos he's a decent player who's getting his last big pay day having moved around.

If i just say 3 things:

1. he is 32 and will turn 33 in next season

2. LFC "target men". morientes, crouch, carroll, lambert, balotelli, benteke... need is really say more here?

3. he's got a guy dedicated to putting the ball in for him in sigurdsson off frees and swansea are all set up for him. we can't bloody cross it and cannot for years

IMO our plan b needs to be pace and movement variation combined with different passing options form CM. we can stick matip up front if we need to donkey it FFS.

Our game breaks down due to narrowness of attack (not to cross but to get in behind and break the line), slow build up play with no risks being taken and not enough players on the turn wanting to play it fast (only coutinho really)

I very much doubt Llorente would want to be a 'plan b' anyway <laugh>

He's a decent striker, just not our style.

Jurgen Klopp Gets Green Light To Go On A Spending Spree – A £100 Million War Chest Available
Liverpool are set to hand a huge war chest to manager Jurgen Klopp in order to build a squad capable of challenging on all fronts next season (Independent.ie). The club returned to the Champions League for the first time since 2014 after finishing fourth in the league. While Liverpool will have to go through a playoffs in order to reach the group stages of the competition, it is widely expected that the Reds will not face any issues in the qualifiers that begin early next season.

One of the advantages for Liverpool has been the lack of European football, as Klopp has had to focus only on the domestic games. This has certainly aided Liverpool in contention with Arsenal, who finished one point behind despite a 3-1 win over Everton.

Sakho says thank you to Crystal Palace
He’s loved it in London

Jurgen Klopp confirmed Liverpool have money to spend as they finalise a five-man shortlist for the summer transfer window.

The win over Middlesbrough on the Premier League's final day confirmed the Reds' return to the Champions League for only the second time in eight years and with it the promise of increased funds for manager Klopp to spend.

Klopp is increasingly confident of bringing in Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon to add competition at left-back while Klopp is also looking at Hull’s Andrew Robertson in that area after seeing the Tigers relegated from the Premier League.
