Johnson was a very good defender 1v1 but he was prone to day dreaming and losing his man when defending the far post. He brought experience and energy to the side. Fair enough Its not a dig at Rodgers though, just how I see it.
No he didn't After finishing second, Brod bought Moreno, Lovren, Can, Lallana, Milner, Lambert, Ings, Clyne, Firmino, Markovic, Origi, Manquillo, Benteke and Balotelli (off the top of my head). We lost Gerrard, Sterling, Agger, Reina, Kelly, Aspas, Borini, Alberto, Johnson, B.Jones and Suso (that had been involved in the first team) How can that be the same squad that finished second...? EDIT; just seen Lucaaas said similar already
I defended Johnson many many times with that exact argument. In his final 18mths though he was just ****e
I see what you tried to do there However, apart from Clyne and Firmino (not recently obviously), I would generally agree. They were all improvements on the existing squad at the time they signed but they aren't the standard we should be aiming for.
I had a BS on my right and one on my left on Saturday night discussing your reject scoring for Hull right across me. I had to tell them to **** off
That delicious irony capped the day off tbh. When the news came through that he'd scored there was much mirth in the Park End
The wheels have come right off eh mate? Big test for Klopp this, you need a result at home to Spuds or the blip is in danger of becoming a crisis.
You have to remember that I'm not a fair-weather man, Tobes. I still think Klopp's the man, but yeah, a win would stop the rot.
I don't think any but the most fickle plastic reds have turned on him from what I've seen and heard mate. The radio phone ins were funny in parts on Saturday night on the way home though One win and it'll look different again, but it's getting that crucial victory, Spurs are a very good side, so Saturday will be another tough test for you lads.
It's no coincidence that you do better against them though, as they'll have a go and not sit deep waiting to pick you off on the break. Cue Spurs parking the bus
Koeman: "Tottenham have two or three years in a row with the same players, it's all about time which is what we need to have. If we get the time to improve, that's the next step for the club." Probably best to keep playing Barry and bring in Rooney who don't have 2 years left in them then
Translated from Astro language.... We (Liverpool) Won this weekend so i have found an internet connection and continue my main hobby of being a cyber cock until our (Liverpools) next defeat where my signal will be lost and i'll hide again
Being a #footballgenius I'll know in advance of the actual result whether we'll win or not and so whether to post Why not take advantage? If I don't post before our game, get all your money on our opponents
That's the glib line that the media and most of our own supporters now take, but Leicester ****ing hosed us, especially in that first half, by directly attacking us: there was no 'sitting back' about it. I think we delude ourselves if we think that the problem is simply teams sitting back (though it makes a huge difference if Coutinho is playing and on form), but the bigger problem is that we have too many players who simply hide when they're under the cosh.
