curious to see how Salah plays in this Liverpool team, what did he look like in pre-season?

Moreano still stealing a living, unreal stuff.

Salah was top scorer in pre season but it mostly Coutinho assists.

@Jay Sturridge (Thigh), Clyne (Knee Muscle), Lallana (Thigh) out injured.

smh. Mane play much pre-season? got him for fantasy, still slightly rustled we never signed him when I was calling for it ffs. Not sold on Mkhi in the slightest. Can see Mane having another top season

I am surprised you haven't signed a LB tbf.

We did, Robertson. He's not fit enough apparently.

Its unreal Moreno's last start was in October 2016 and we're going into a CL season with him. Liverpool FC rofl

by Jay29 Sat Aug 12, 2017 11:52 am

I thought Sturridge was fit. Laughing

Good for Solanke, though. He's a really good talent.

That's what worries me, I wouldn't be worried today if it had been Spurs or Chelsea.

speaking of left backs' though I just realised I have an embarrassing lack of knowledge about United's lineup heading into the season, anyone actually watched anything of us? Laughing

mostly curious about our LB situation

by Firenze Sat Aug 12, 2017 11:56 am

you expect Mitrovic to get much playing time this season Moal? thinking of getting him in for a cheap rotational player in FF

Not really, Gayle is first choice.

If Klopp gets Liverpool anywhere with this mid-to-lower-table squad he deserves to be knighted (if that's a thing in and around Liverpool) tbh

by Hapless_Hans Sat Aug 12, 2017 12:18 pm

and by anywhere, I mean places 1-4

by Hapless_Hans Sat Aug 12, 2017 12:19 pm

how the hell can they not improve that ridiculously bad defense and midfield?

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Aug 12, 2017 12:24 pm

Mid table lol, they are significantly better than anyone outside the top 6.

by Hapless_Hans Sat Aug 12, 2017 12:26 pm

If they are, it's not because of their squad strength

because last I checked, having Wijnaldum didn't exactly get Newcastle into errr.. err..
top 6

It's Klopp.
FSG is willing to spend on any player without hesitating.

Remember January 2017? He signed Grujic for the 2017-2018 season lmfao. He's going to be found out soon if he has no plan C's this window and keeps finding these internal solutions while trusting failed players over and over again, It should have been last year when we had no CL. Sigh.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Aug 12, 2017 12:29 pm

Because we didn't have Liverpool's team Laughing

Any decent manager would have them 6th or above.

Second best midfielder at LFC and best big game player in years at the helm.

by Jay29 Sat Aug 12, 2017 12:40 pm

Okaka 1-0. Liverpool using marking from the Arsenal school of set-piece defending.

by Firenze Sat Aug 12, 2017 12:46 pm

how come Pulis and Fat Sam can get their teams to defend set pieces but Klopp can't get our infinitely better players to deal with them after 2 seasons? @Unique

Wijnaldum is a decent player but in accumulation, a midfield three of Henderson, Can and Wijnaldum is disgusting.
That's the right word for it, disgusting.
We are talking about a club that has the transfer budget and wage bill of Bayern and Juventus.

by Firenze Sat Aug 12, 2017 12:59 pm

Mane is Pool's most important player, not Coutinho.

by Firenze Sat Aug 12, 2017 1:01 pm

Salah looking a bit shite so far huh

I watched him a few times at Roma and he didn't seem to have a very high footballing IQ, not sure if it was just those games or what, still gonna say signing him was odd.

by Jay29 Sat Aug 12, 2017 1:01 pm

2-1 Watford Laughing

I like this new rule in the Premier League where no one is allowed to defend.
