Henderson is an interesting player. Personally, I don't think he's good enough to be starting for a Top 4 team but he's a very good squad player to have.

He's like Milner for City but better.

Lucas has never been good enough for Liverpool. The only time he has been good is when the whole team is underperforming, similar to Skrtel.

These players aren't good enough to be commanding a starting place.

we now have klopp - he knows what's required to get us back.

I'm all for forgetting those but just think on this.

Do a quick compare of herrera to henderson...

Let's say henderson is more physical, more able to get about etc etc... great fine.

Now look to technique. Let's be serious here. If herrera gets a chance to shoot like henderson did 4 times he'd get them on target. Look at how he lines himself to his target and strikes through the ball.... look at henderson lashing at the target with no target. It can go anywhere at times.

There is a gulf between a henderson and a real technical player.. . This is why I say the guy would be a good holding player as he has the ability to get everywhere and playing deeper he can actually play a reasonable longer pass... trust me on this guys that's he best position.

Henderson is capable of some things but he's too inconsistent. Technically, he's very erratic.

But for me, the biggest problem is that he's a bottler. Put him under pressure, and he loses the ball. Give him space to run with ball and he'll fall over himself. Put him clean through and he'll sky it.

But how do you quantify work rate? Distance covered? I've seen so many people call Firmino lazy but he's one of the hardest working attackers in the league - but because he doesn't run around like a mad man, it's not all that visible.

I don't think laziness is his problem at all. It's more he gets overwhelmed when pressed or not given space and at times is troubled to adjust to pace of premier league.

I wouldn't call him lazy though.

all i really want from future transfers are ones that have been thought through in the sense they fit the pattern Klopp wants the team to produce and that they have the requisite character to play for us and not sulk at each setback
oh and preferably at reasonable prices

see i'm easy to please

Let's be frank (ok I am lol) ).

Even before BR we seem to draw up the wish list but it always smacks to me of a big gulf between #1 choice and 2,3 and 4.

Lets face it. This shouldn't be the case. We rarely get the WC target so the list below that should all be sinilar players that would all do the same job which ever we get otherwise we are buying who we can get and trying to retro fit.

Devise what we want and search and search to get those that fit. Stop making do...it fecks the plan out the window and we end up with wishywashy team with confused performances.


BR looks damn uncomfortable on MNF lol...
 
Two 'flops' - M'Vila and Capoue both have had very good seasons so far.

We badly need a DM - would take either one of them
 
actually first signing should be a defensive coach as i cannot take many more pathetic attempts at defending though yesterdays probably takes the biscuit
Ibe "ooh look Mata wandering over to take the corner - oops it's a short corner i'll now run out there 5 seconds too late"
nearly every other pool player in the box just crapped themselves over Fellaini and went for him but with 4 challenging not only didn't we win the ball but we didn't even stop him getting a clean header :headbang:
too ad insult to injury it left Rooney unmarked with only Can near him but unfortunately Can was wandering away from him towards the edge of the box <steam>
Migs managed to push it into roof of net so not quite enough but if over half the team go walkabout you will always be screwed

Lots of stupid things said on here

Klopp is still trying to have a look at the players he has

I would say so far Klopp has only made 1 clear decision about his squad: Bogdan out

Everything else is just trying to deal with the fixture list and injury list

Giving Mings a new contract wasn't a clear decision?
 
...

1. I would under no circumstances call firmino lazy. He does work hard. Milk is right he does get swamped by page of game when on ball.

2. Mingolet given 5 year deal and all the talk from Klopp is hugely cLear. . Like.. wtf...

3. Yup about half as good but then again in half as good a team too. Firmino exaggerations all.

4. Stop the defensive coach bullshit please. This is not American football ffs. We employed a whole new coaching team. It was a young player sent on and not awake that made the error. Prior to that they didn't make such errors.

You can only beat the head of ibe for a couple weeks so he doesn't repeat it.
