Will we ever see a season like the last? Doubt it. But this shows how much LCFC changed the football landscape and how much of an impact they had. Nothing is impossible, like Middlesborough or Hull winning the title next season. Unlikely yes but impossible? NO.
Leicester were in position Liverpool were 2013–14 season two weeks to go Liverpool bottled it/ Leicester made the best use of it. We are going to see more seasons like that. When I do not know.
He chose not to do anything because he'd been in the job 5 minutes, we had the busiest schedule of any team in all of Europe, and most of our key players were injured. January is bad for value anyway so he might as well take a longer view aside from Caulker as a backup in case the injuries got even worse than the worst in the league at the time.
January has seem some of the best signings before. Off the top of my head: Coutinho Sturridge Suarez Vidic Evra Elneny Huth Matic monreal
9 signings from the last 10 January windows. None of them by a manager who'd been in the job for just 3 months. Well done.
you mentioned january being bad time for signings... i chose to disagree and it appears you think they were all cracking signings so you've mentioned your manager being in the job for 3 months...
0.9 good signings per window (even allowing Monreal and pretending Matic's 2nd season didn't happen) certainly shows something.
Sure there are other good signings.... those were from the top of my head. i'm sure the signings in january that are counted as successes probably equal the ones in summer if you go for a ratio of good/normal/****
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell All rests on one thing for me If we sell Moreno we'll win the league If we keep him we'll be close to or getting relegated I can still barely look at anything LFC related tbh after the EL final
#scarred can we keep him but put him on the fifa console in the corner ala enrique for 2 years? would that be ok?
i'm deffo not watching all the euros. I did that once in 1998 and frankly theres 80% of games you'd be... i could have have more productive use of my time sleeping.
Am I to assume from this that you have decided Klopp is at least as good as Rodgers? You have made some very valid points though, seeing them laid out like that makes me wonder, if Klopp dosent get you into the top 2 is he the massive failure you predicted?
Not even that confident. I said 6th at the beginning of last season, and up to us putting out the youth team for several league matches in the latter half of the season I'd have said that was a decent call. I'll say seventh next season, which will be good enough for EL football the next year. I think the league will be between City and Spurs, should they not lose any players. I don't think Leiceater will win the league agin, but I think they'll make a better fist of top four than us. Everton and Koeman? Great manager and he'll have money. Can he persuade Stones and Barklay to stay? No matter who he buys, that's the key. West Ham? Again, I think they'll finish higher than us if Payet stays. Looking forward to next season - but I don't have any expectations. Really, really disappointed that we're not even in the EL. I know we had to do what we could for the possible CL place, but for want of three points, thereabouts, we should easily have finished higher than eighth, easily.
You all must have missed the memo, now Everton have Koeman they are the biggest team in the world, and will stroll to the title. No one else has a chance. (Just wanted to stop by to say - you Liverpool fans have a million times more class and respect than Evertonians. At least when you pillage Saints your fans are decent about it. I think the blues are compensating for being in your shadow.)
Klopp will bring in his own players, no European football, more time to implement his methods, I am optimistic for next season.
You might not like him though, but that's a class manager you've lost today: far worse to you than all the players we've nicked off you so far. Hope you prosper with De Boar (sp( or that other Portuguse dude who dicked us in the final. For what it's worth, you're my favourite southern team since, as a kid, I saw you beat Uniturd in the '76 FA Cup final.
