Match Day Thread West Brom v Liverpool

Or they'd do the same thing in those games AND get injured.

We're just pissed poor.....but got to two cup finals.....cup team...until the summer.

Hopefully a good one this time lol

 

That's the salient point, Wishi. They didn't even have to play the whole game, as you say. 60 minutes on Sunday and you still be fresh for Thursday, for Heaven's sake.

 

Good to see Ings back, but the one I'm really intrigued about is Gomez. He looked soooo outstanding, pacey and strong and decent on the ball. The phrase 'a young Rio' is overused (especially when it's applied to a good, but not really special Smalling and suchlike), but he looked so promising. An ACL at his age is really bad. Fingers crossed though, but I fear he may be just another Ilori now. Hope I'm wrong.

 

But we have no Europe. Loss of vital experience, not to mention we are instantly and significantly less attractive to the sort of players we want to bring to the club.
No Europe means we've set our progress back yet another year imo.
Sorry Frank, but I just don't understand this meh attitude to poor league performances. You can't abandon the league in the hope of doing well in a cup competition, no matter how prestigious. If we win on Wednesday then I, and others like me, will be called moaners, but if we lose all those who said we have to play second string will be incandescent.
I really hope we win - there's no way I want us to fail just so I can say told-you-so, but **** me we've made it so difficult for ourselves when it really shouldn't have been.

 

Saint...I'm not happy we had to do it...seriously...but I honestly trust Klopp that it was necessary...even if it was to show the money men how God awful our squad is....if we are going to be the real deal on multiple fronts then the squad has to be strong enough...he's just showed it's not...

Now that might sound daft except it's the same twats above him that Brendan had...no matter what you think of him...we had Arseholes that got away with this trash squad when he took the brunt.

Klopps been smart win or lose on Wednesday...he's said publicly he'd work with the tears but shown how utterly ****e they've been.

If he wins on Wednesday it's because of him. If he doesn't he can point at this shambles assembled before him.

After that...it's all on him...who he buys and how he integrates.

 

Disagree. No Europe with Klopp makes us more attractive than Europe with Rodgers.

 

No circumstances would mean I don't want European football! No circumstances at all!

 

Sorry, I didn't realise those were the choices.
So, is no Europe with Klopp more attractive than Europe with Klopp?
That's the choice I'm thinking of.

 

Wait. So Rodgers is coming back

 

Of course we want European football, but I'm just saying people are forgetting we now have a very attractive (not looks) manager, such that if the worse happens on Wednesday then I am confident in players still wanting to come in and play for Klopp.

 

Players are willing to join the likes of Stoke, Saints and West Ham despite them not having European football (previously) so why wouldn't they join us?

The amount of money in the PL now makes European football a nice bonus rather than a necessity sadly.

 

Hodgson, Hicks, and Gillett?

 

Did I wake up in a parallel universe where Man Utd have a competent CEO and we're not about to qualify for the CL in 3 days?

 

WTF! Do you have to jinx us like that? Talk about counting our chickens. We are as likely to be without European football as we are to get CL.

 

Missed out Moreno - largely ****...

 

Totally right.

What we've don't imo has been unacceptable and sets bad precedent.

Players take this stuff onboard.

Say we will win.. great joyous... cl next year.

We end up dropping the league again? Do the same players told midweek that they play west brom after say I dunno... bayern... will they bother their holes or will they think... ah.. right I play but the game doesn't matter does it... why should it, it didn't last year....

Ok I will predict 70% of the team playing league recently won't be around next year... but..... some will.

 

Do you want **** players?

Cos frankly if you take a hard look at even saints and west ham... long, pelle, tadic.. there's only the odd player there I'd want.

They pay good wages and get mid table players. If lfc has done anything in the last 4 weeks we'd be ahead of them all.

If the top clubs were not totally falling apart... Utd, chelsea, Arsenal, city all disastrous management... would those clubs even be close.... no ****ing way.

You can keep your adrian and jame Collins and andy carroll and all

There's only the odd gem... but we are as bad sadly... I'd personally keep about 3 players if I was playing fm2016 here.

 

That's only a few guys. They are all mercy who have greedy agents looking for any move that suits their needs.

Hookers and nightclubs close check
Lodsa money.. check.
Easy medals.... Hmmm

There's not that many going to cone beg to play for klopp. A few of his targets might believe his presence is good for their career but the reality is half his players ****ed off to bayern and real and all over.

 

What is that even meant to mean?

I wanted European football when they were all at our club. I'd never want us to not try, not even to get rid of those types of sacks!

 

FA are trying to put their foot in.They're saying that Liverpool played a weakened team against West Brom.
We were not thrashed 5:1. Rubbished.
