Klopp has been hospitalised with an illness apparently. No idea if it will prevent him from being on the touchline on the weekend, but regardless of feelings towards him or the opposition, hope he gets better soon.
Second that. Expected to be released this evening.Klopp has been hospitalised with an illness apparently. No idea if it will prevent him from being on the touchline on the weekend, but regardless of feelings towards him or the opposition, hope he gets better soon.
Thing that frustrates me at the moment (well, one of them) is that whereas it irritated me the exodus post Poch, and to an extent during the Koeman time, because it felt like we were a club on the verge of doing something, now I can't even blame players wanting to go to 'bigger' clubs and opportunities.
What's the motivation for someone like Gabbiadini or Lemina to stay at an underperforming, average side. Where's the direction?
Agree with this (although I have had this feeling since Poch left). It is just a general apathy/"meh" towards football in terms of competition. There are games where I get excited or passionate, but what that summer did to me was remove the feeling of really caring about the players and the results to a degree. Any good player we have it is now "oh well who cares, he will leave soon" not (like maybe in the Championship years) "we could have a great side if we add to this squad".
We have sort of done (for a longer period admittedly) what Newcastle did a few years ago when Graham Carr was their chief scout and was getting lauded for their recruitment bringing in lots of players who were successes. Eventually they all moved on and the replacements started to be worse and they ended up with a squad full of average PL players and went down because they had a poor season. We haven't hit that point yet, but another couple of bad windows and it is real possibility that it could happen.
Agree with your second paragraph 100% and made the point a few times during Rons time here.
See Villa also.
This season![]()
Would like Gomez and Matip at CB after another good display from the lad for Engerland. As long as no Lovren I'm happy though.

Yeah I think their luck may have run out this season.
Also Saintmagic got it spot on regarding how careful we need to start being as one or two more poor transfer windows could really see us in trouble.
Nah Lovren is too good to leave on the bench, he has to start for me![]()
He's so good you should take him back, yes I know the 12 month warranty has expired but he's not worked from the start.

Could be one window being the next one. I firmly believe we'll be in the bottom 3 around Christmas timevso we will need to buy and buy well in January.

Regardless of matters on the picth, can someone sing the "We've got Van Dijk" song at the Liverpool fans, even if he isn't playing?
Can the fans sing " We've got Van Dijk, We've STILL GOT Van Dijk, ..." Just to drive the point home.

'he will not rob your house, cos he ain't ****ing scouse...'
