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

Of course it's not the single reason but it's a huge factor, those clubs have spent money they wouldn't normally spend which has increased competition in their clubs.

Last post on this.

I think "spending well" is of greater importance.

That being said you need the money to spend in order to spend well and the TV deal has done that.

So one has essentially facilitated the other

Indeed.

Palace spent 20 mill. Big deal.
Man city bought a defender for 45 mill and a 21 year old for 49 mill. Liverpool spent 100 million. It is not the single reason palace are better than Liverpool and this season is messed up!

Palace spent more wisely. And £20m will improve place far more than £90m will improve city or liverpool. Thus the gulf is lessened.

We spent nothing net but yet improved our defence midfield and attack.

Part of me was hoping the scousers had scored a consolation goal at the end, then maybe they'd have treated their fans to the can-can again like last week....twats.

Just need the Swans to get a late winner against West Ham to make it an even better weekend for us.

So I ask, what had it got to do with tv money!

Clubs who would not normally have spent have spent a lot on the right players in areas they needed strengthening. Agree but I think spending wisely unlike Liverpool who have spent heavily two windows but have they strengthen there first 11?

If palace hadn't spent anything they would not be closer to liverpool.

Disagree it has a lot to do with money, smaller clubs have more but are spending it better than some of bigger clubs. Liverpool have spent a lot but they have sold Suarez, sterling fir big money. We spent a decent amount we just sold equity in the players we had who were not playing.

But clubs have always spent something. Palace didn't spend 100 mill, they spent less than Lamela cost

They are now buying a better class of player as they can afford better wages.
Also we are not even half way through the season we always get some smaller teams performing well in the first half of the season.
West ham were top 4 this time last year they finished 12th.

Money can't buy class. But £28m can get you this..

Also, think about it this way, Man City brought in Sterling for £49 M, who essentially fills a spot on the left wing, where Nasri or Silva would usually occupy. Sterling essentially replaces Nasri.
Is Nasri a poor player? Nasri would be a starter for majority of the teams in the EPL. So, £49 M was spent on an upgrade for an already decently covered position.

Cabaye cost Crystal Palace £12.8 M in transfer fees. Cabaye is a top class upgrade on their CM position. A pivotal player that plays a very key role for them. When you compare what Sterling brings to Man City for £49 M and what Cabaye does for £12.8 M, the contrast is massive. City has been brought up a notch while Palace has received a huge boost in quality.

We could look at the age difference of the players, but we are talking about this season and not the potential return in value from longevity.

Apparently, losing 3-0 to Watford was Klopp 'genius'. It will lul all other opponents into a false sense of security.

Was there a genius wave by all the players?

its all abit gegen-depressing

Can't stand Liverpool but got to admit to liking Klopp.

Liverpool under Rodgers 12 points in 8 games

Liverpool under Klopp 12 points in 9 games

I said when Rodgers was sacked that I didn't think he'd done that badly. Goes to show he hadn't. I suspect they'd be in the same position now had they kept him.

In terms of getting the most out of an average team, maybe. But he assembled said average team...

For hundreds of millions of pounds.

Can't expect klopp to turn it around quickly. He hasn't even had a transfer window or preaseason.

I would say that over the last decade they have traded easily worse in the transfer market than us or probably most teams in the country.

I agree that klopp will take time. That was the thoughts on here when he was appointed. The only people who thought he was going to have an instant impact was the media and Liverpool fans. Mainly because they are deluded idiots.

Seeing as they were above us in the league 10 years ago and have probably spent almost £1bn more than us on transfers and wages in that time than us, yet we have overtaken them. I'd have to agree.
