    People were very quick to mock last season when things looked to have blown up in their faces a bit, but this season has been good for all of them. Lovren has been very good under Klopp so I can see him being a first choice centre back next season, I think Lallana will be a regular but with a lot more bench time.

    Wouldn't quite go that far. Lallana and that little **** Lovren are finally showing why Liverpool wanted them though.

    Interesting to see the team that Rodgers built playing so well for Klopp.

    People mocked them because of the way they went about leaving. Clyne no one cares about as he did it the right way. I haven't booed either Lallana or Lovren, but found it funny when they ****ed up.

    Klopp says the defence needs sorting, so I could see Lovren being pushed back to being back up. I think Clyne will be ok, but as you say Lallana will be a squad player that comes off the bench.

    But for me the most annoying thing about Liverpool was Rodgers. I dislike the guy big time. Now he has gone I don't mind them and wish them well apart from when they play us.

    Interesting in the sense Klopp is getting them going where as Rodgers could not.

    Lovren has improved loads for them this season, to the extent that he is clearly their first choice CB.

    Agreed Beef, though I still can't like them. There's something so desperately self-important about them/their fans.

    My dislike of Liverpool and some of our ex-players has faded away....mainly because we are having a good time anyway....and it allows me to hone my dislike of Mauricio. I need him to fail...doing well in the EPL is delaying the arrival of my indifference.

    Talking of Clyne. Whenever I watch him I notice more and more just how one-footed he is. He generally puts in an early ball with his right foot, because thats basically all he can do. Sometimes the crosses are superb but sometimes he just misses huge spaces simply because he can't ever cut back onto his left.

    Although I guess I always knew this it is only recently something that I really started to look out for. I almost can't watch hime sometimes because its so obvious what he is going to do. I sometimes wonder if he must dread getting the ball in case he can't somehow manipulate it onto his right.

    I may be exaggerating it slightly but next time he plays, watch him. I'm amazed he gets away with it to be honest.

    With Liverpool reaching the final I really don't see them getting more than 4 points from Watford, Chelsea and WBA. If that's the case we will only need one win to finish above them for the first time in our history and (hopefully) secure a Europa spot as well.

    Would be sensational if we managed to get Europe this year after being quite a bit below the (high) standards we set last year. I won't be disappointed if we don't though.

    Tbh, it would be a bit easier to recruit and retain players we want though, if we did.

    Apologies if already posted: Ex-Saints, Leicester, and quite few other clubs, striker Frank Worthington has Alzheimer's Disease at 67, and he's had it for a few years too:

    Gündogan out for the Euro

    Looks like he could be out for the start of next season as well. So a move is very unlikely I guess.
