Now that we have our 20th team confirmed in Huddersfield, it's time we move on to a new season :) even if we have to wait 2 months :sad:

I suppose we can get all lyrical and fanciful over the new kit announcements.

75 days to go...

[Denver]

Huddersfield will be a huge delight

[Denver]

I feel so god dam happy right now

[Brother Leon]

They're coming..

[Denver]

Erm he said he isnt leaving and Atheltico wont sell

[Denver]

Also he is vastly overrated at that price

[Brother Leon]

Erm he said he isnt leaving and Atheltico wont sell

O Rly?

O9mxfWPnFuE


Also he is vastly overrated at that price

Look at the market and prices floating around... Just 'cause Liverpool could never :hehe:

[Black Dagger]

Oh good. We have Leon with his football bants to look forward to for 3 months.

[Denver]

O Rly?

O9mxfWPnFuE


He then said afterwards he doesnt want to leave

Look at the market and prices floating around... Just 'cause Liverpool could never :hehe:

Liverpool are not stupid to commit financial suicide they have learnt from the past mistakes

[Denver]

Or maybe he wants to play with better players?

Antoine will clearly be a United player. Let's not kid ourselves.

Sort of perched really for Manchester to dominate again (although obviously I'd prefer United to be 6th again it's a lot funnier x)

[Babayaro.]

Will be between Chelsea, Spurs and United next season.

[Denver]

Liverpool and City are n it

[Denver]

4 of the top 7 teams that ended the league 1 season in 2011 will be playing PL football next season.

Southampton, Bournemouth, Brighton and Huddersfield


So who next? Peterborough, MK Don's or Leyton Orient?

[Drew.]

Will be between Chelsea, Spurs and United next season.

Can't wait for Spurs to win the competitive but not quite successful trophy again

[Locke.]

Antoine will clearly be a United player. Let's not kid ourselves.

Sort of perched really for Manchester to dominate again (although obviously I'd prefer United to be 6th again it's a lot funnier x)

Like last season when you were both confirmed for top 2, the FA Cup and League Cup before a ball had even been kicked? :huh:

[Black Dagger]

Don't recall soz x

[Nicky91]

soz :conf: what does that mean

But...the Pogba fee...

[Mystic Mock]

Will be between Chelsea, Spurs and United next season.

I like Spurs, but teams always struggle when initially moving Stadiums so I reckon that they'll come about 6th or 7th next season.

I think that United, Chelsea, and if it's Wenger's last season at Arsenal I reckon they'll be in the title race possibly.

[Locke.]

FFS just noticed the League Cup is now called the Carabao Cup... Gets worse every year

[Brother Leon]

It appears there was a mistake.


He's coming.

[Shaun]

An interesting start :pipe:

[GiRTh]

Great goal from Lacazette :dance:

[Shaun]

:worry: it begins

[GiRTh]

LMFAO if we lose this. Wenger has already ruled out signing Mahrez but if we lose the fans are gonna be livid. #WengerOut is already trending on twitter :laugh:

[Shaun]

:joker:

I'm sure we'll creep back up to fourth though, not to worry GiRTh

[GiRTh]

:joker:

I'm sure we'll creep back up to fourth though, not to worry GiRTh:joker:

I'm not so sure with the Europa league to deal with. When we defend corners like that I dont give us much hope in any competition. The defenders need to explain how Vardy gets that free header from a corner. If we lose tonight I expect some panic buying.

[Shaun]

:dance:

[GiRTh]

Wengers face :laugh2: You can see the relief of pressure on his face. Now buy some players cuz these aint good enough.

[Shaun]

longest 5 minutes of the year

[GiRTh]

Nice one boys :thumbs: Now time for ArsenalFanTV

[Shaun]

having to celebrate a game where you concede 3 goals at home :joker: god this club is going to kill me

[GiRTh]

having to celebrate a game where you concede 3 goals at home :joker: god this club is going to kill me:joker:

[Drew.]

I have missed this, my heart wont be able to take it all season but i ****ing love football sometimes. Incredible game, Laca and Sead both fit in perfectly, can't see many wingers getting the better of Sead this season. Scrappy how we had half of the team out of position but that should all change once Mustafi and Kos return.

[Shaun]

Bellerin being schooled by the Ox, I never thought I'd see the day

[Brother Leon]

Like I said, Lacazette will be a steal at that fee. Still not worried about Arsenal though.

[Drew.]

BRITOS!!!!

[Denver]

Klopp has no idea what he is doing.

Either sort out the defence or walk away

[Denver]

when Moreno is the best of the defence on the day you know you are in for a tough season

[Locke.]

Klopp has no idea what he is doing.

Either sort out the defence or walk away

And you have no idea what you are talking about.

Either wise up or log out.

[Locke.]

Deserved point for Watford, we were absolutely horrific at defending set pieces last season and it looks like things haven't changed. Desperate for Van Djik. Even if Coutinho does leave, signing Virgil still has to be the top priority. Front 3 looked good and found each other well, think we've got enough going forward to tear any team in this league apart but unless improvements are made in defence we'll still drop plenty of stupid points like this one.

[Denver]

And you have no idea what you are talking about.

Either wise up or log out.

Its a known fact he never concentrates on the defence since he has took over the team has conceded around 80 goals no top team should concede so much in short time

[Denver]

You might be happy conceding 3 goals a game but im not

[Shaun]

some people just don't have a fourth goal in them!

[Locke.]

Its a known fact he never concentrates on the defence since he has took over the team has conceded around 80 goals no top team should concede so much in short time

It's the first game of the season and you're calling for one of the most highly coveted managers in world football to quit because we drawed an away game. You're like a parody of a real football fan.

[Denver]

The fact he has had 18 months to sort out the defence and he has done **** all about it.

He was found out at Dortmund and he is being found out now.

He only plays one system and that is outscore the other team

[Denver]

anyway Huddersfield 2-0 up woop woop

[Locke.]

Legendkiller reincarnated as a liverpool fan ffs

[Crimson Dynamo]

Conte OUT

[Babayaro.]

****ing sort it out Chelsea!

[Crimson Dynamo]

I benched Heaton :facepalm:

[Brother Leon]

Unreal start to the season so far, Rooney has scored.

[Alf]

Well in Wazza!

[Locke.]

Well in Wazza!

What's the deal with the crowd at Goodison booing the team 30 minutes into the new season Alf?

[Alf]

What's the deal with the crowd at Goodison booing the team 30 minutes into the new season Alf?Pukka pies have gone up a quid from last season.

[Drew.]

Pukka pies have gone up a quid from last season.

:joker:

[Shaun]

Bit worrying this side isn't it?

[Locke.]

Yeah with Hart between the sticks they might even get top half

[Drew.]

Bilic will be out before Christmas

[Shaun]

idk i don't get gay vibes from him

[Drew.]

http://img.championat.com/i/article/05/76/1341510576_b_poceluj-slavena-bilicha.jpg

[Brother Leon]

Lukaku doing what he does, but Matic making it look easy :clap1:

[Brother Leon]

Now to enjoy the rest of the weekend's football.

[Black Dagger]

Can't be dealing with you being gassed already.

[Denver]

You ad 2 easy teams so far cant wait for Huddersfield to destroy you

[Drew.]

We saw how bad United looked a few weeks ago against a side who keep possession, this good start won't last long.

[Novo]

Matic and Pogba are a match made in heaven

[Brother Leon]

We saw how bad United looked a few weeks ago against a side who keep possession, this good start won't last long.

Real just dicked Barca over two legs. They would humble anyone in England tbf. I'm not even gassed. A title challenge and Last 16 in CL and I would say progress has been made.

[Drew.]

ffs southampton

[Denver]

great win

[Denver]

Baggies will be the team to watch this year

[GiRTh]

Predictable TBH

OK we had a perfectly good goal disallowed but still.....

[Brother Leon]

Arsenal will replicate us and win the Europa to qualify for the CL anyway. They were never winning the league so the league games probably feel pointless for them tbh.

[GiRTh]

Agreed. I'm not sure if any team has done well in the Europa and finished in the top 4. Man u 6th last year and Liverpool were 8th (I think) when they got to the Europa final two years ago. We are not gonna do well in the Europa and finish in the top 4. Dont see it happening. We need to prioritise one and I dont think it should be the league.

[GiRTh]

ArsenalFanTV gonna be great tonight and Wengers gonna roasted IMO. He took of Lacazette for Walcott. Nuff said.. Decisions like that are gonna get him the sack. We've seen for 12 years what Walcott cant do so dont replace our record signing with that bluffer. And he kept Welbeck on after he missed a few chances but took off Kolasinac. Wengers decisions are called into question again.

[Drew.]

ArsenalFanTv is a ****ing cancer to the club, it's not funny and it's not entertaining. It's the same old faces desperate for 5 seconds of social media fame spouting any old ****.

[Drew.]

I am fuming

[GiRTh]

ArsenalFanTv is a ****ing cancer to the club, it's not funny and it's not entertaining. It's the same old faces desperate for 5 seconds of social media fame spouting any old ****.
Dont have a go at Robbie. He's making his money. Good luck to him. :laugh:

[GiRTh]

I am fumingAnd so you should be. As I point out earlier, it is unlikely we do well in the league and Europa so decisions need to be made at the club as to what we are going to prioritise.

[Drew.]

He's an absolute bellend Girth. Looking for any reason he can to milk every penny he can from this embarrassing both the club and the fans as a whole, we're a ****ing laughing stock because of him, fair play to him that hes making a living from it, but him and his minions are utter ****whits

can we get this tired-ass saying filtered? @James

Good ol' Robbie bringing that 5* entertainment to the masses.

[GiRTh]

can we get this tired-ass saying filtered? @James:laugh:

We say it far too much on here.

[Locke.]

Above Arsenal already, too easy isn't it

[Denver]

I cant believe Huddersfield are winning the Premier League

[Crimson Dynamo]

cant wait for Adrian Durham Monday at 4 on TS. They spent all last week rinsing Stoke

and with his anti Arsenal agenda it should be a great show

:joker:

Good ol' Wazza stays making City fans miserable.

[Locke.]

Was a good game that between City and Everton

[Crimson Dynamo]

F off Citeh you jammy cheats

[Drew.]

Madness

[Drew.]

Another great game, this season is delivering all the goods so far for entertainment

[Crimson Dynamo]

Chicharito hat-trick incoming

[GiRTh]

De Boer first manager sacked?

[Denver]

No Bilic will he gone within a month

[Shaun]

both are doomed

[GiRTh]

Sanchez in, Lacazette out. :facepalm:

Big game this. If we lose then the pressure is already on.

[Denver]

Get in lad

[GiRTh]

Ramsey FFS./ He's played at the top level for ten years now and against all the top teams. When has he ever seen a top team where a player switches off like he does for that first goal. Embarrassing. I hope we can get something out of this game

[Denver]

Game should have been over by now

[GiRTh]

Game should have been over by nowYep. Hoping we get something but not optimistic.

[GiRTh]

He did that against Watford last year too and again it cost us a goal, Troy Deeney scored that time. These guys are not learning anything from paying at this level.

[Denver]

Mane is coming for the golden boot

[GiRTh]

Great goal from Mane. That's that done then. Expect some panic buying :facepalm:

[Brother Leon]

Like I said... Arsenal needs to go all in on Europa. They aren't close to good enough for top 4 this year with an improved United and City.

[GiRTh]

Ramsey off for Coq. Yeah that's gonna win us the game :facepalm:

Actually, something must be major wrong for Wenger to make a change at half time. He usually makes them routinely - you set your watch by them - at 65-70 minutes, even a two nil score line doesnt usually get that kind of shock reaction from him. Maybe even he's realised this is not even close to good enough.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Come on Lpool bang another 2 in this half

:fc:

(not Firminio or mane tho as too many in FF have them)

[GiRTh]

Come on Lpool bang another 2 in this half

:fc:

(not Firminio or mane tho as too many in FF have them)Probably be more like 4 or 5 the way the games going :joker:

[Denver]

3-0 Woop Woop

[GiRTh]

Embarrasing.

[Brother Leon]

Poor Alexis.

[GiRTh]

So no Lacazette or Giroud yet? Do something!!!!!!!!.

[GiRTh]

Just like I said!!!!! both at the same time. We must be desperate.

[Crimson Dynamo]

we want 4

[Brother Leon]

Don't worry Girth,Drew,Shaun and Jake... Europa League is a fun trophy to win ;)

[GiRTh]

Don't worry Girth,Drew,Shaun and Jake... Europa League is a fun trophy to win ;)
I think Wengers gonna prioritize the league so I dont think we'll win that either. :laugh:

[GiRTh]

I would like to see Solanke come on. Is he injured? Saw him a couple of times a couple year ago when he was on loan and he looked a very exciting player.

[Denver]

I would like to see Solanke come on. Is he injured? Saw him a couple of times a couple year ago when he was on loan and he looked a very exciting player.

He is on the bench

[Denver]

4-0 cum on

[GiRTh]

we want 4:joker:

Might even be five

[Crimson Dynamo]

:dance:

we want 5

[Denver]

2nd couldn't be better

[Locke.]

Fantastic performance all around, bullied Arsenal all over the pitch. Emre Can deserves a £500,000 per week contract, need to stop ****ing around and give him one.

International break is coming at the wrong time for us, would have liked to have faced City in a few days time instead of having to wait 2 weeks.

[Black Dagger]

LOL CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH ARSENALFANTV AM I RITE x

Good ol' La Liga.

beyond parody really :laugh:

[Black Dagger]

Horrible little bastards.

[Denver]

They are a bunch of criminals themselves

[Locke.]

Some good games this weekend. City vs Liverpool, Everton vs Spurs, Leicester vs Chelsea, and the battle of midtable Arsenal vs Bournemouth

[Denver]

TAA is having a shocker needs to be taken off

[Denver]

What the **** was Minolet doing? you are one on one stay in your goal and take the chances dont ****ing chase him

[Denver]

The attacking threat is just not there today

[Denver]

Does he ****ing need glasses? way off target

[Denver]

Get Salah of put AOC on he has had 5 or 6 chances to score or put another player in a scoring position and failed to do so we need attacking threat

[Denver]

Referee is scum was no red card

[Denver]

will get overturned

[Denver]

Season over

[Denver]

Referee has no idea scummy ****

[Denver]

Still pissed of scummy ref playing for scummy team

[Denver]

How Mane is sent off but Otemendi is still on is so bizarre

[Denver]

Blatantly obvious the ref is fixing it giving a lot of questionable decisions

[Brother Leon]

Not a red.

[Black Dagger]

Shut up he concussed our poor Ederson.

[MTVN]

Love that Gary Neville is absolutely slating the decision on telly and then Phil is like

906490228097130497

[Denver]

Shut up he concussed our poor Ederson.

He through himself at the ball Mane's eyes were on the ball

[Denver]

Shut up he concussed our poor Ederson.

Clearly you dont know the rules of the game

[Denver]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Moss_(referee)

The tea

[GiRTh]

Liverpool not looking great. Never a red for mane

[GiRTh]

Love that Gary Neville is absolutely slating the decision on telly and then Phil is like

906490228097130497And that why no one listens to Phil:joker:

[Denver]

How John Moss is still allowed to referee with his history is shocking

[MTVN]

Remember all the Liverpool fans saying Nani deserved to be sent off in the CL for something more harmless

[Denver]

No i dont remember

[MTVN]

Can't go around kicking people in the face pal

[Denver]

The fact Klopp's record against top six teams is coming to an end is sad

[Denver]

Can't go around kicking people in the face pal

The goalkeeper ent in head first knowing what Mane would do and Mane didnt even focus o him is eyes were on the ball yellow at most

[GiRTh]

Arsenal Fan TV on Sky Sports News :smug:

[MTVN]

The goalkeeper ent in head first knowing what Mane would do and Mane didnt even focus o him is eyes were on the ball yellow at most

Not an excuse, flying in with your foot at head height is dangerous play full stop

[Denver]

Not an excuse, flying in with your foot at head height is dangerous play full stop

He had to go for it any player would if in that position

[Denver]

Klopp has made many major mistakes today with the selection

[GiRTh]

Liverpool done with a straight thru ball again. Worrying defending

[Black Dagger]

Klopp out this week is it. Adam?

[Denver]

Liverpool done with a straight thru ball again. Worrying defending

Its his own fault.

He tapped up a defender meaning they couldnt sign him then rather than get another defender he carries on chasing a players whose team will not do business with us then prefers Klaven in his starting line up

[Denver]

Klopp out this week is it. Adam?

He needs to get his tatics right or **** off and he should have had his defence sorted when he has been her 2 years

[Denver]

Offside what another ref gaffe

[Drew.]

Ox out here setting records for back to back 4-0 defeats at two different clubs, the guy is cursed, enjoy him up north :hee:

[Denver]

They dont deserve 5 goals

[Drew.]

You're right, they probably deserve more

[Denver]

Klopp needs to be told straight

Sack your defence coaches or we sack you

[Denver]

You're right, they probably deserve more

They got lucky very lucky and should have been down to 10 men themselves

[GiRTh]

Liverpool done by straight thru balls all game.

[Denver]

Liverpool will return the favour at Anfield

[Denver]

Liverpool done by straight thru balls all game.

I dont think Klpp was this bad defensively at Dortmund

[Drew.]

They got lucky very lucky and should have been down to 10 men themselves

5 goals, Deserved red, a couple of goals ruled offside, a ton of chances, wheres the luck?

And why did they deserve to be down to 10?

[GiRTh]

I dont think Klpp was this bad defensively at DortmundHis defence was never great at Dortmund even though he had Hummels. City picked you off and looked good doing it. Sending off was a joke but City looked good today

[Denver]

5 goals, Deserved red, a couple of goals ruled offside, a ton of chances, wheres the luck?

And why did they deserve to be down to 10?

Was not a deserved red and this ref has let worse tackles go unpunished

Otemendi was a thug out there and was very lucky to not be sent off

[Denver]

His defence was never great at Dortmund even though he had Hummels. City picked you off and looked good doing it. Sending off was a joke but City looked good today

City were made to look better then they was.

I dont understand how he puts the slowest defender in the country on against City.

[Denver]

the best player was Solanke and that says something when he only played half hour

[Denver]

the whole team were a disgrace and disrespected fans

[Drew.]

Was not a deserved red and this ref has let worse tackles go unpunished

Otemendi was a thug out there and was very lucky to not be sent off

Come off it.. Had that been Jesus or Aguero on Mignolet you'd be screaming for a red, don't even deny it. It wasn't intentional but it was reckless, Mane was about 3 feet off the ground with his studs at head height, the ref had no choice.

[GiRTh]

City were made to look better then they was.

I dont understand how he puts the slowest defender in the country on against City.They looked good this time last year too and we know how that turned out for them :laugh:

[Denver]

They looked good this time last year too and we know how that turned out for them :laugh:

Had Mane not been sent off i reckon it would have been a totally different game

[Denver]

I dont understand how Klopp thinks taking off all his goal scorers is a good move

[Denver]

Should have moved Firminho to the wings put Solanke as striker Ox in Midfield Wini and Can off

[Denver]

We will take our anger out on Sevilla

[Drew.]

Delusion if you think Sevilla will be a walk over

[Denver]

We are stronger then 2 years ago they are weaker

[Denver]

Plus its time for another Istanbul

[Jake.]

Ox out here setting records for back to back 4-0 defeats at two different clubs, the guy is cursed, enjoy him up north :hee:

Lol

[GiRTh]

Ox out here setting records for back to back 4-0 defeats at two different clubs, the guy is cursed, enjoy him up north :hee:
he has conceded more goals in his last two games than scored in his career:joker:

[Drew.]

he has conceded more goals in his last two games than scored in his career:joker:

Lool thats actually embarassing

[Denver]

Im still pissed that Salah should have finished the game off early on

[Denver]

Also why Ward isnt in goal is beyond me

[Denver]

A reason why we should have kept Toure is he is a vast improvement of back up then Klaven

[Crimson Dynamo]

:hehe: at all the people who had mane, firminio and salah in their fantasy teams and were thinking 15 points min today

[Denver]

Doesnt help when i ave a player who has left his team and one refusing to play

[GiRTh]

We are playing well. Whats going on.

[GiRTh]

monreal is effing useless. HE gets skinned game after game

[Drew.]

Kolasinac is love

If Wenger dares to move him back into a back 3 instead of a wing back i will end him

[GiRTh]

The two summer signings left out against Liverpool and the much criticised Ozil have dominated this game

[Locke.]

Think you're massively overreacting (again) to today's game, Adam. City have the best attacking players in the league, any team going down to 10 so early on while already behind and away from home would find it very difficult. 11 v 11 we were very unlucky not to be ahead and on another day we finish the chances we created, and the Mane red card could have gone either way. It's a 50/50 challenge, Ederson is outside his box, Ederson dips his head into the challenge, and if Mane wins that ball he scores, any attacking player is going to go for it, and if Ederson doesn't dip his head into the challenge then there is no debate about a red card at all.

Just putting today down as a one off really. When we had 11 on the pitch we created just as much as City did and it was only a matter of time until we scored, Otamendi was getting ripped apart every time we went near him. Hopefully we appeal the red card but either way at least Mane can play the CL games and one of the 3 he'll be suspended for is league cup which he'd have been rested in anyway.

[Alf]

We got took to school today. But it's good experience for our young players, it's how they react to a good hiding that'll determine if we can cut the mustard up at the top end with the big boys.

Not many teams can come to Goodison and do that to us, Spurs proving that they'll be challenging for the title again this season.

[GiRTh]

Good game this between Stoke and man U

[Brother Leon]

Poor De Gea. Save of the Season so far only for the imbeciles in front of him to let him down from the corner.

[James]

Come off it.. Had that been Jesus or Aguero on Mignolet you'd be screaming for a red, don't even deny it. It wasn't intentional but it was reckless, Mane was about 3 feet off the ground with his studs at head height, the ref had no choice.

It reminded me of Toni Schumacher and Patrick Battiston in 1982, in reverse.

tGq7VcaHoqo

[Brother Leon]

Hate that City signed Jesus and I have to hate him..

[Black Dagger]

:)

[Brother Leon]

We were crap again. Won 4-0 though so can't complain.

[Shaun]

A perfectly acceptable gameweek for once (if you'd offered me a clean sheet at Stamford Bridge at the start of the season, I'd have bitten your hand off)

[Denver]

Imagine Allardyce going from Palace to IAC

[empire]

I hear some Liverpool fans want Klopp to leave, but the only mistakes he has made is not fixing the defence problems at Liverpool, and not taking the big money offer from Barcelona, and some of them are saying that they want Rafa Benitez to return, and as much as Rafa loves Liverpool, he won't return, there is no way he will take a big risk like that because it could ruin his legacy at the club, and if you sacked Klopp next week, you will not get champions league football next year,

[Locke.]

No smart fans want Klopp to go, just the idiots.

[Denver]

Since January we have gone backwards and are continuing to go backwards

[Locke.]

Since January we have gone backwards and are continuing to go backwards

We have lost 5 league games since January 1.

Backwards is relative, too. Is it backwards compared to how we were in Brendan's final 18 months? No, it's progress from that. It's progress from Dalglish's stint, and progress from Hodgson's. The only thing it is backwards from is the form we were in for the first half of last season, under Klopp. Support us during poor stints as well as the good form or don't support us at all.

[Alf]

I know it's not premier league, but I just have to say, this Sheffield derby is a fantastic game.

[Denver]

There is a football league thread

[Locke.]

Good win yesterday despite doing our very best to turn it into a draw. Important game midweek in Russia, would be great to get a win there and then pick up the usual 3 points against Newcastle ahead of the Utd game.

[GiRTh]

Great win against a team that always give us problems

Xhaka had a stinker (again) . Guy needs far too much time on the ball for the premiership. Its a bit concerning when you see him giving the ball away while under little pressure. Elneny wasn't much better but it was his first game of the season. Frankly West Brom could have been at least 2-1 at halftime. I dont know how we got so many midfielders but still cant get the balance right.

OK onto the Europa this Thursday and Brighton on Sunday - our only home premiership game of the Europe phase.

[Shaun]

Thank god Ramsey's having his half of the season where he actually tries, to make up for them two

[GiRTh]

Everyone else was quite solid except those two. Elneny has an excuse in it being his first game but Xhaka is impressing me less and less each week.

[Shaun]

Yeah the crowd urging him to shoot everytime he touches the ball isn't helping either, so many wasted attacks because of him (admittedly I can only recall 3 such instances tonight, but still :laugh:)

[GiRTh]

Xhaka gave the ball away a load of times when under little pressure. He had me out of my seat shouting at the TV. :laugh: Cant see how he can play like that in Premiership

[Alf]

Everton are absolutely rubbish.

What have you done to us Koeman?

[Alf]

Goodison Park was a fortress until Koeman got his hands on the team. Now we're second best at that ground all the time.

[Shaun]

Were Everton ever good though

[Alf]

Were Everton ever good thoughThey were competitive, teams like Manchester City used to come away from Goodison with nothing, regularly. Now rightfully, this team is getting booed of the park.

[Denver]

If we fail to beat Man U they have to sack Klopp

[Denver]

We are going right back to where we were under Rodgers

[Denver]

He is making us a laughing stock right now

[Denver]

Luis Enrique is available and would massively improve us

[Denver]

Imagine failing to beat one of the weakest teams in the league

[GiRTh]

Liverpool defence done by a straight thru ball again.

[GiRTh]

Luis Enrique is available and would massively improve usAncelotti too. :hee:

[Alf]

It's gonna be 28 years since Liverpool last won the championship. To someone who grew up with them being the best team in Europe, it's quite a shocking statistic.

[Locke.]

Another poor performance. We weren't at it going forward today but again it's the defence that let us down, the most basic goal you could ever look to concede. Any kind of coaching doesn't make a difference to that goal, it comes straight down to the brain dead centre halves we have. A poor window has let us down again, failed to build on qualifying for the Champions League just like we did last time we qualified for it. You know it's bad when you're actually happy it's an international break so you can get away from watching us for a couple of weeks.

Having said that we will improve when Lallana and Clyne are back, but sadly dick and dom at the back will continue to find ways to gift the opposition goals you'd see on a primary school playground.

What's Steven Gerrard up to? is he getting into coaching?

He's the kind of manager you need, someone to bring new ideas and a passion for the club, instead of going for the older people like Ancelotti who just come for a pay packet, and who's philosophy's are becoming outdated.

Move forwards, not backwards.

He is our U19's manager

[Alf]

He is our U18's managerWell that's good that he's working with your future players. You should be promoting him to first team manager when Klopp fails to deliver.

[empire]

Klopp has the perfect centre and the perfect forward built in the team, but his weakness is his back, his mistake is that he is following the German way of defending, and a German defender runs like an athlete up and down the pitch for 90 minutes, and here in English football are players are more heavy and only use there energy when its needed, you can see why Liverpool defenders are struggling, its Klopp's German style of defending that is burning out the energy of his defenders by the time its half-time, they are worn out, and they are too tired for the second-half, Rafa's centre and back where perfect, only good goals could get past it, and remember Benitez can turn average players into stars, yes even championship players, I'm sure Liverpool fans today wish that Rafa was back at Anfield tomorrow fixing out the defence problems at the club, who knows, he said that he will never rule out returning to Anfield one day, even Newcastle fans never thought that they would get a world class manager like him, in football anything is possible.

[GiRTh]

Ancelottis won three champions leagues. There would be no better seat warmer if Liverpool look for another manager or promote Gerrard

Gerrard is far too young and inexperienced if he takes over at Liverpool it might be like Gary Neville at Valencia . It would be a shame if a pro who actually wants to become a manager - most are happy to sit in the pundits chair - had a big profile failure in his first management job. Liverpool got to stick with Klopp and he has somehow sort out your snoozing defence. Liverpool are giving up the same goals week after week.

He was inexperienced too. How did that work out?

How did that work out?Pep was B manager for a whole season before taking over and won their league so similar but not the same. Do you think Gerrard can topple the dominance of Chelsea and Man City at that level? IF they does then give him the job with no hesitation but I doubt it. Would love it if Gerrard took over and took the drastic steps Pep took like getting rid of their star players. Gerrard will probably be Liverpool manager at some point soon but surely not yet.

[Locke.]

No need to talk about another manager at all. The fans love Klopp, there would be murder if he got sacked. He deserves time, but most importantly money. We have a net spend of under £30m since he arrived. I'd also disagree that he has the perfect forward. Firmino is brilliant but he's not going to score 20+ a season, he's 15 league goals a season at very best in the PL. It's important he stays in the side because he's very important to how we play, but ideally we'd have a top forward like Utd/Chelsea/City/Arsenal/Spurs have. That would have been Sturridge if he was the Studge of 3 years ago, but sadly he's not going to reach those levels again.

[Denver]

He had the money he just refused to spend it

[Locke.]

Not necessarily true. We know there was money available for a further centre back, not any other position.

[Denver]

He was given 40 million each for 2 new wingers and was allowed to pay 50 million for a player to come next season and bid 70 million for a cm

[Crimson Dynamo]

so regretting my everton players in Fantasy league now..

:idc:

[Locke.]

He was given 40 million each for 2 new wingers and was allowed to pay 50 million for a player to come next season and bid 70 million for a cm

And despite those bids we are still at a net spend of under £30m since he arrived.

[Brother Leon]

Hate to say it, but City look worryingly good. Mourinho going to need to pull off a masterclass top them in the league if Pogba being out until December is damn true.
