Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Liverpool thread

[Spurger King]

I don't know why you lot bother with that twat Toela. He only comes on here if he thinks he has a reason to gloat, and is conspicuously absent in the periods where we come out on top (e.g, at the end of most of the last few seasons).

Remember all the same getting said about Suarez then later it became anger for not signing him when the chance was there for Spurs.

If Spurs had signed the exact same players we'd signed, for the same prices, you'd be raving about it right now. You know it, you just won't admit it.

It's as if people think that all those dozens of posts about how good a signing Ings/Clyne/Milner would be for Spurs etc have all suddenly disappeared. They're all still there. I've went back and read them. They're sort of funny now.

You can tell in those threads exactly where it became clear said player was signing for LFC due to how sudden the posts turn into ones saying the very same player was "shit", "overrated", "not worth the fee" etc.

Football fans. Gotta love them.

I would much rather have the window LFC is having so far, than the one Spurs is having. But still plenty of time left for that to be reversed.

Pft, you're selecting the posts which fit what you want to see and ignoring the ones which, albeit begrudgingly, praise Liverpool's work so far.

Agree, most of the posts here are very high in praise of the deals Liverpool have done.

Liverpool are fucking shit.

So much money spent since Rodgers joined yet they still seem to feel it necessary to have yet another complete overhaul of the first team squad. So many terrible buys, so many so called strikers to select from, so many fullbacks come and gone.

TBF, I would say Rodgers has only made two signings that have been a success, I was reading an article about his transfers and they have been so bad that they said Allen had been a hit/good signing and Mignolet lol. Can probably the other one that will be considered a good signing but the jury is still out imo.

So while, it seems this time, their complete overhaul may of finally hit the nail on the head. Their transfer strategy has resembled the game, pin the tail on the donkey

Just because there a dozen posts does not mean there is or ever was a consensus that those players would have been good for us. Most here did not want Milner, Clyne, whereas many were interested In ings but there was not much of a collective crying about him joining dippers. The fact that hardly anyone knows that Brazilian bloke makes it difficult for us to judge....

My point is that you need to Stop making things up Toela to further your point- you do it all the time and it makes you look like petty.

 

[muel]

It's very early days in the window. We have already tied up 2 signings. As usual we are being mentioned alongside a multitude of players of varying excitement and ability..........

However. Those scouse wankers have already completed several potentially exciting deals and don't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Ings, Firminho, Clyne, Milner (not necessarily exciting but a solid player).

As the title suggests I'm wandering....should we be worried?

I have to say. I started so positively, but the Scouse loving propaganda that pumps out of the media has got me doubting!

I'm hoping for some balanced reasoning why I should not worry and relax!

You know what I remember? You raving on and on about Suarez staying, and don't get me started about his rug rats and school. The irony of your post is incredible.

Football fans. Gotta love them.

He did the same thing at the end of last season.

I think we'll come 5th this season (no-ones stopping Utd & LVG) but I'm pretty confident we'll finish above Spurs as as important as Suarez was he wasn't that important that his absence would mean a drop from 2nd to say 7th. If you take out Suarez's contribution we still would've finished 4th on paper.

Now it seems theres a mor than good chance of getting Moreno and Manquillo to strengthen both FB positions, if we can get a 1-20 goals a season forward in I'd be happy we'd have minimised the impact of losing Suarez as much as we reasonably could have. Reducing goals conceded will help us just as much as bringing in attackers to compensate for Suarez's lose, so I'd be happy with Lovren, Moreno and Manquillo to do this.

I don't mean this is a banterish, put downey way or to be disrespectful or anything but my honest feeling AT THIS MOMENT in the window is that I'm more worried about Everton coming above us now they've kept the loan players from last season, Barkley, bought Besic and have a year of Martinez under their belt. Everton have Lukaku and we have Sturridge, the 2nd highest goalscorer in the league.

Whereas Spurs have a new manager which we have no idea of how that will impact the teams results, have only strengthened at LB in the first 11, and haven't bought a ST yet who'll score more goals compared to last seasons STs. If you'd have signed Lukaku, or do sign say Bony, I'd be much more concerned and think that signing could make all the difference. Schneiderlin would be a good buy, bought CM is hardly your position of weakness.

However, the signings from last Summer could come good under Pochettino next season and Adebayor might actually give a shit and if Pochettino gets his tactics/system right as well then Spurs could have an excellent season but, imo, thats just too many variables that all need to come good at the same time.

I know a lot won't like this but its truly how I feel right now. However, this could change with future signings as still a lot of time to go.

You didn't put your point across in a dickish way, here - and who knows, you could be right.

I'm fairly confident going into next season, we won't have a car park attendant in charge this season or a disinterested AVB. We've got a great squad and if utilised correctly I think it can achieve something.

You can't really just take out Suarez's contribution by removing his goals and assists. The amount he indirectly influenced your play and stretched defences without actually scoring or assisting can't be quantifiably removed.

Without him, you are a significantly weaker team - as would any team be. I'm sure you'll still be up there, but none of your signings this summer have got me shitting my Ben 10 drawers.

What exciting Liverpool signings?

 

[ItsBoris]

Im not so sure, I think they have had made great signings from a director of football pov but not the best for Rodgers 3511 system. He will have to change back to 4231 imo.

4231

Sturridge
Lallana ----- Firmino ----- Milner
Can -- Henderson
Moreno -- Sakho -- Skrtel -- Clyne
Mignolet​

352/3511

Sturridge
Firmino
Moreno --- Milner --- Henderson -- Clyne
Sakho -- Skrtel -- Can
Mignolet​

Both those lineups are highly uninspiring haha. I would imagine that Coutinho would stay in the #10 position though and Firmino will be on the wing, and probably Milner in place of Can in midfield.

Still though, Rodgers' ineptitude in the transfer market it something to behold, just look at that back 5 and its obvious where their efforts should have been concentrated. Think we'll finish above them easily next season.

 

[Darth Vega]

Hard to answer until the transfer window closes and we know how both squads look. With that being said, they've made some good signings. Milner is a good addition, Clyne is miles better than Johnson and Ings can't be as bad as Balotelli.

 

[F_AN2CE]

Pure comedy gold waiting in there and alot of gifs and vines to be made...

Enough said.

 

[SugarRay]

I would have taken Ings, Milner and certainly Clyne, although thats not to say I'm unhappy with Trippier in that position.

I like Ings and he was available relatively cheap so he would certainly have been a decent buy had we got him. I've always rated Milner, good Prem player who will probably flourish again away from City, where he was actually pretty good overall. He isn't top, top class but he does a fine job and has loads of experience.

Firmino? Only seen him twice and didn't think much but as I say, that was only two games. It's big dough, thats for sure! Way out of our price range right now* as is Milner.

* This won't always be the case. I'm confident that we will be spending huge money way before Arsenal did in comparison to their stadium/spending schedule.

SO far they have had a better window, but thats based on them bringing in established prem players.

 

[Lilbaz]

We have the liverpool thread in general football where this has been discussed for the last week or so if anyones interested.

As for the question, no more than last season. We still have 2 months of the tw left. No need to panic just yet.

 

[Ribble]

Massive upheaval yet again to replace the massive upheaval that failed last season. Much prefer being in the position we are now in comparison, with a mostly settled lineup who actually know each other.

 

[HotspurFC1950]

No.

 

[sundanceyid10]

Exactly pools signings dont impress me, I have feeling they will implode and the fans turn on Rodgers, which would be a shame as I think Rodgers is a poor manager and would like him to femain in charge as long as possible!

 

[Drexl]

Buying Benteke now if the reports are correct

Given they play with 1 striker am not sure how they are going to keep Sturridge, Ings, Benteke, Origi and Balotelli happy
