Liverpool Banter Archive April 14 2016

Use our rumours form to send us liverpool transfer rumours.

14 Apr 2016 23:22:32
So proud of the team and both sets of fans tonight. I was just looking at some stats and considering the injuries we have had and the inconsistent league form, I think we have had a decent season. League cup final, uafa semi (poss final/ win) and a sneaky chance of top 4. We will have played 62 games (hopefully 63) by the end of the season so all in all think we have done good. Time for another beer.

Never in doubt mate.

15 Apr 2016 00:06:44
Having never been to anfeild and dreaming of going for 20+ years those fans tonight, the singing man I'll never stop believing.

14 Apr 2016 23:20:52
I can't believe what I've witnessed I'm going to watch the highlights just to see if we actually won! I would thoroughly advise FSG to renegotiate Klopps contract now because when it's up for renewal in a couple of years it's going to cost a small fortune to re-resign him. If there was ever a manager/ coach or whatever you call it nowadays that was made for Liverpool FC it is Jurgen Klopp. What a man, what a team, what elation. Milner can't take a corner but he can bend it like beckam. He should be nowhere near the centre of midfield ever again. I would play him as a right back and give clyne a rest. Sakho was awful first part of the game, misplaced passes and nerves jangling all over the place but boy did he grow in stature. Couts and firminho were off. Origi take a bow young man. Danny sturridge came on and worked his nuts off and Pirlo was affective again in his cameo. Champions league your having a laugh!

Allen stays as even a sub I dint think we can replace what he offers. Excellent, compose at its finest.

Coutinho stepped up again but was well off the pace .

Tactics at start where wrong and not changed to counteract the fact they were just out numbering everytime they attacked. Should of brought Allen ir Lucas on for firmino/ lallana and pushed Milner to the wings, he was good but just wasn't in midfield his position was terrible, can was doing it on his tod most of the game. We should of been 3/ 4 bill down by half time so we lucked out.

Migs has to go. Fair play ill always remember that pizchek hand but he just isn't a keeper who w you in a game, our defence can never give a chance up because it just results in a goal.

Still think de gea saves all 3 myself. Seen him do most against us, before anyone kicks off. He was stupidly slow for a premier league title ambitious standard goalkeeper getting up for the rebound, awful positioning on the second and the third. Were talking about a keeper to play against messi, ronaldo, bale, Suarez, lewondowski, zlatan. That is were we are trying to get and if we win the Europa then we will be in there, and it doesn't look like they want to change him. Were carrying him, and if we have any ambitions then he will be replaced as soon as.

Moreno goes, just goes terrible.

Lovren looking like a barca, Bayern standard player more by the minute. Wouldn't be surprised to see pep and city come calling.

WTF is it with corners. Why can't they get over the first msn

But lads that was beyond measure. Unreal. But the fans, wow. Drowning out Dortmund as soon as they started singing and why why why why god weren't the players on the pitch for possibly the greatest redition if YNWA

I.

15 Apr 2016 04:24:29
Completely disagree Paulo - Migs was great and the only goal he had a chance with was Reus but ven that was dispatched with class.

15 Apr 2016 10:22:40
Got your winning goggles on there Annie. He is trully terrible. Nowhere near good enough.

That oizchek hand is what de gea does game in game out, keeps them in games over and over snf over.

Migs just never does he never has motm performances, he never has motm moments (enough anyway) like him as a person but has to go.

14 Apr 2016 23:08:52
Who needs the CL when you can have so much fun in the EL? Just to think where was Lovern at the end of last season and where he is now. Origi won the worse player in France or something? Sakho had some bad days. Sturridge looked as if he would be injured forever. And Klopp was still managing Dortmund. Happy days. Happy happy days. That last goal was the most non typical 2015-2016 Liverpool goal - an accurate cross from Milner (! ) and a powerful header from Lovern. Am I dreaming or what?

Believable4 Unbelievable2

14 Apr 2016 23:07:15
Who's the knob head that used his mates season ticket to go to the match tonight. Who drove from newport, South Wales and left half time as he had work at 8 in the morning in Cardiff as he was gutted about score.

Yep. Put me up there with Istanbul. How can one mam be so ashamed of himself but buzzing. I could cry. X.

Believable3 Unbelievable4

14 Apr 2016 23:00:07
My assessment of the game as impartial to all players as i can. We didn't have to press that early imo.
1. Couths game a bad ball to moreno who lost it, migs made a great save and milner nor moreno thought of the rebound.
2. The midfield was bypassed and sakho sat deep but only a yard or 2 off lovern moreno was 10 yards up field.
3. Beautiful 1 touch passing by the lads and great finish cut them open.
4. I would say Clyne was not watching but him and sakho were in a different line to lovern/ moreno reus.
5. All i can say is the goals he can pull out :) reminds me a lil of Gerrards Pile drivers.
6. Bad defending but a good header.
7. Milner shows again he can cross several players were waiting for it.
What a comeback on a par with istanbull IMHO. Allen becoming a supersub.

Make all the points you want, all I care is that I have a good feeling in my tummy for the rest of the week, maybe season!

15 Apr 2016 00:48:19
Im delighted it brings memories of istanbull 2005, i left to do jobs at half time and came back at 3-2 i always had faith tonight i will never give up on a game now only wish i had my bro to watch it with 😁.

15 Apr 2016 03:09:14
That was the only good cross Milner put in and boy, better late than never.

14 Apr 2016 22:58:39
At 1 -3 I was going to come on here and say how proud of the team I was that we gave it a go after such a horrible start. Wow. How proud am I now.

I watched it in the pub and nearly lost my voice! Constantly telling my doubter mate that he needed to #believe
What an awesome night and an awesome result. Dortmund are a fantastic side, but on our day, with the Kop as a 12th man, we can beat them all!
JFT96 ❤️⚽️.

14 Apr 2016 22:55:42
Think Rogers is saying

Ed002 will regret the day he said I will regret the day I said Origi is wolrd class.

Believable1 Unbelievable2

{Ed001's Note - do you think Origi would be playing like that under Bodgers?}

14 Apr 2016 23:03:20
He is on fire the last 3 games i can't get over it he's big strong and fast works his socks off have to say i didn't see him doing that.

14 Apr 2016 23:10:44
Well said Ed - Klopp has given him the confidence to play like that - just wish we had played more balls around the back in the 1st half - still only Liverpool can snatch the victory out of the jaws of defeat - again!

14 Apr 2016 23:40:27
He would not be playing because his golden boy would be playing. One thing to say Klopp is being the heart back into are football club .

15 Apr 2016 03:10:10
The best thing to ever happen to LFC was to ditch the most incompetent manager in our history.

14 Apr 2016 23:27:02
No chance ed001, but, he's obviously got talent, and fair play to the people who scouted him.

Klopp said he put on over 5 kilos of muscle when he was injured, top effort from him, he looks physically superb, has a good touch with the ball at his feet, and is starting to take chances. He has everything in his locker, by no means at top level, but he isn't lacking in any area for me, and can be a top top striker. If he can't out pace the defender I'm sure he could over strength them and vice versa.

{Ed001's Note - it is great to see a young player making the effort to improve himself.}

14 Apr 2016 23:28:36
So true 001 he looks like a man possessed at the mo, showed again to be our no1 striker on merit. That's gunna give the boys some boost that. Hopefully a strong finish to the season now.

14 Apr 2016 22:42:15
Divock Origi is 20 years old. Let that sink in he just gave the best defender in Europe the run around. That was for the 96! Come on red men ❤️.

Believable9 Unbelievable2

14 Apr 2016 22:55:09
Hard to believe he's a kid the way he's playing. Hard to believe he is same age as Ibe.

14 Apr 2016 22:58:58
Why bring Ibe into it, just be happy for Origi.

14 Apr 2016 23:08:27
Are you ibe's mum?

14 Apr 2016 23:09:47
It's all do with coaching and confidence.

14 Apr 2016 23:11:34
People mature at different rates - i still have faith in Ibe.

14 Apr 2016 23:27:32
Have a feeling next year is ibes break through year.

14 Apr 2016 22:39:34
Ater that performance i don't think we need fear anyone in semis. no one will fancy getting us. Enjoybthe night my fellow reds. onwards we go.

Believable5 Unbelievable1

14 Apr 2016 22:53:02
All the teams are pretty good.

14 Apr 2016 23:05:39
Sorry mate but after 9 mins we had at least 6 chances to score. Slow start didn't expect Dortmund out the blocks so quick but hey we did it. Spanish teams hate fast teams well do them to. Honestly great night tonight best I've seen in years probably better than olympiakos.

14 Apr 2016 22:38:04
What a game! Had no hope after the first half, then even less when rues scored. Probably the best game to watch in a few years. Shocking defending at times which we can't keep going, that doesn't happen every week. Only in the semis and need to be fired up for that game as much as this! Reminds me a little of when we beat city a few years back, let's better that!
What a game, took ten years off my life!
So happy for lovren he was gone as a Liverpool player, he deserves this moment
Origi is showing what a player he is, him and Sturridge together looks like the way forward, the narrow diamond too looks effective. Could even play coutinho and firmino in behind, if we want to take the game to the opposition.
Come on, boys, let's win this!

Believable5 Unbelievable1

14 Apr 2016 22:56:34
Firmino has bad bad game. Gave ball away cheaply and allow them to counter.

14 Apr 2016 23:05:56
He has been Injured lad give him a break he was on form before it hasn't played full 90mis yet.

14 Apr 2016 23:14:22
One of our best nights in recent years and all you have to say is Firmino had a bad game. clueless.

14 Apr 2016 23:14:32
I agree it was bad defending but the first two goals came from mistakes 70 yards from our goal. We didn't know how to hold the line / attack the player so let's hope Jurgen can solve that!

Amazing how many chances we had against a team that good!

14 Apr 2016 23:43:15
Kloop has a dilemma for the 1st time as manager does he play Orige ahead of Sturridge or use both of them. Because Orige can become a top class player.

14 Apr 2016 22:37:21
I saw Kenny Dalglish cry tonight. I saw Ian Rush sing You'll never walk alone at the end there. It is ecstatic; I'm lucky to witness all of it. No sleep for me tonight folks. Never lose hope on your team you RED MEN; Infact never lose hope on anything. YNWA.

Believable9 Unbelievable1

14 Apr 2016 22:57:14
Yeah, and there's Roy Hodgson next to Ian Rush looking as miserable as usual.

14 Apr 2016 23:09:48
On a personal note Roy is the most polite pleasant person from the football world I've meet. The camera shown for what 20 secs and you class him as that.

14 Apr 2016 23:22:23
The clip afterward of Rushie singing YNWA is brilliant. And to think after the Lovren goal my wife got mad that I "get too excited about these things. "

I didn't bother to point out that following Rush's example will rarely lead a man wrong, but she wouldn't understand.

14 Apr 2016 22:33:06
Sakho and Lovren Liverpool heroes.

Well done lads

Great stuff ed, u need your brother inlaw to move in until the final mate. This is what supporting lfc is all about for me, love it, but seriously i need to call an ambulance because i swear my ticker is giving up on.

{Ed001's Note - good idea. The brother in law bit.}

14 Apr 2016 22:21:30
I'm going to restrict my tactical commentary to this:

PUT MILNER ON THE WING!

The lad can cross. Don't put him the middle where he'll try and play on every part of the pitch simultaneously and just end up running around like a headless chicken leaving huge holes and upset the team shape as we build the play. Just put him on the right or left and say "get up that touchline and put balls into the box", and if says "But, I want to play in the center boss! " Klopp should clatter him.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

14 Apr 2016 22:31:48
Totally agree. It's his best position and was at city too.

14 Apr 2016 22:40:05
Didn't have much choice today, not sure Lucas was 100% fit and Allen is showing his worth as an impact sub! Would love for Flanagan and Stewart to be eligible!

14 Apr 2016 22:58:46
I think Stewart is eligible?

14 Apr 2016 23:30:11
Unfortunately not, burkey, he's over 21 and wasn't included in the squad in Jan.

Always watch games to the bitter end, even Stoke last season. Did the same tonight as I did 25th of may 2005: "I´m not watching a second more of this crap! " at half-time, walked away for an hour, only to come back to see the best football moments ever. If it works again I´ll start taking offers to do it when we are loosing.

14 Apr 2016 22:16:04
That was absolutely magnificent.

Thought they played well in that half but got caught out by pace early doors.

14 Apr 2016 20:56:31
First 12 minutes was the stuff of nightmares!
We need a quick goal after the break to stand any chance.

14 Apr 2016 21:05:15
Think we need Sturridge on with Origi from second half.

14 Apr 2016 21:06:52
If Lucas was defending the back 4 both goals would have been prevented. Anyway, long way to go yet but can see it happening. They will smash on the break, but got to go for it.

14 Apr 2016 21:08:52
All that good work from the first leg undone in 9 minutes. Only half time but very disappointed. I swear all our players are schizophrenic. Shadow of the team from the past few games.

14 Apr 2016 21:58:28
Next time I think I'll just be quiet! Nicely done red men!

14 Apr 2016 22:04:22
Nah, Westie.

You can complain at HT every week as long as it makes us score four goals in the second half.

Having seen the team for tonight Milner, Can and Lallana in midfield worries me slightly. Milner is slow Can is rash. Lucas, Allen and Milner would of been the better choice for me but I'm sure Klopp knows Dortmund inside out. got to have FAITH!

Hi Eds,
Did Fenway really see Liverpool as an investment? As personally i believe getting good returns from a football club is incredibly risky and there are much better investment opportunties elsewhere.

Believable0 Unbelievable3

{Ed002's Note - Yes otherwise they would not have purchased the business - they are investors, not Liverpool fans. All they needed to do was invest a little money in the team and the price will leap up when they win the league and then the Champions League.}

14 Apr 2016 19:01:47
Im sure there is a little bit of tongue in cheek there ed but in all seriousness, would winning the League or Champions League increase Liverpool's value or is it mainly because they would be able to attract more lucrative sponsorships as such. Thanking you in advance.

{Ed002's Note - Yes it would.}

14 Apr 2016 17:44:45
Biggest game of our season tonight, lose and that's pretty much end of our season. Last week I was kinda calm and relaxed, no real pressure or expectation. Now I'm nervous as hell! Could we rue the missed chances away? Hope no one makes a big mistake to cost us, would be cruel. Centre mids have to stand tall and be counted, especially if we go two up top. Balls in behind and they don't like it, origi and Sturridge need to take their chances! Anfield will be bouncing, carry them home boys!

14 Apr 2016 15:33:38
So pumped for this game, very few teams I can accept gracefully losing to but if we put in a good performance I won't have any complaints of outcome as it seems we're on a good trajector for thr long term. Regardless of the result I really don't want to hear which 21 year old player we need to get rid of on the back of it. Of late I've seen nothing but passion and hardworking players so give it a rest for one day and consider who we're playing ( don't want to hear it's only stoke or man utd either)

Hi ed001 and reds Need your help! I'm pretty superstitious I know a lot of you are too, anyway I got a pair of LFC underwear as a gift a while back and every time I've worn them we haven't lost! However I didn't wear them for the Stoke game just gone, so my question is do I wear them tonight!? I know it sounds daft but hey! Lol.

{Ed001's Note - stick with what worked last time we played Dortmund.}

14 Apr 2016 15:35:22
My missus has got a pair of Red Herrings. Should I sneak them on and do a victory lap around Anfield tonight if Origi scores ed?

14 Apr 2016 16:21:43
No one's going to look at you when Origi scores DBol. Stop trying to steal others' thunder 😂.

14 Apr 2016 15:07:27
What are people's options on Andy Carroll aside from us over paying for him.

Believable0 Unbelievable4

14 Apr 2016 15:13:14
Ive always rated him when fit, Handfull on his day.

14 Apr 2016 15:13:48
Handful on his day, his days are few and far between. Great in the air, poor with a ball at his feet, inconsistent, injury prone, passenger in too many games. Would be an insult to take him to the Euros.

14 Apr 2016 15:14:04
If he concentrated of football instead of drinking he could be amazing. I was sad to see him leave not because what he did for us but what he could have done. He's injury prone and inconsistent plus you need to play to his strengths. A big list of what ifs but on his day totally unplayable for any team.

14 Apr 2016 15:35:25
I'd say he's a handful in the air but otherwise he's a bit of a clogger and not very skilful.
He's nothing without service.

14 Apr 2016 15:37:24
And how many days are those, Bosco? Not that many in a season, I`m afraid.

14 Apr 2016 15:52:32
A big long man with big long hair.

14 Apr 2016 17:25:54
Useful player for teams who lump it into the box, not much use for teams playing a more expansive game. As a professional woeful and will be done long before his time because of it. Analysing him individually he's excellent in the air, strong (but I believe he gets away with a lot of fouls), has a powerful shot, that's about it. The amount we paid for him was obscene. Even West Ham overpaid and they got him at a 50% discount. The most insane transfer in recent football history in my opinion.

14 Apr 2016 17:46:55
Was poor against United, still made the goal happen. One of those who will always make chances of the service is there.

14 Apr 2016 18:07:28
One dimensional, unprofessional, overrated

14 Apr 2016 14:48:04
Ed001, your starting eleven for tonight?

Believable1 Unbelievable1

{Ed001's Note - the same team as the last game, apart from dropping Milner for Can.}

14 Apr 2016 15:22:39
Stewart isn't registered ed001, he's over 21 and wasn't registered after January.

So I assume it'll be Can for Stewart.

{Ed001's Note - oh yeah, sorry forgot. Shame.}

14 Apr 2016 15:38:01
I`d play the same team too.

14 Apr 2016 17:47:48
Same as Stoke? I presume you mean with sakho and lovren mind! And ojo benched for origi?

14 Apr 2016 18:00:19
It's a good job Klopp picks the team and not you then Ed.

14 Apr 2016 18:11:38
Dropping the main engine with Hendo out 😫.

14 Apr 2016 14:40:09
What a lovely problem Kloppo has to solve? Firminho, Ings or Sturridge? One out of three? Two out of the three or even all three together? i'm glad I'm not making the decision. Really pumped for this game, I haven't felt this confident about getting a positive result since Villa away. lol. Come on Redmen let's show the world who we are and what we're about. Enjoy the game everyone.

Believable0 Unbelievable2

14 Apr 2016 14:51:33
I'd go for Ings. They'd never be prepared to face a striker that's injured for the rest of the season. Element of surprise.

14 Apr 2016 15:22:37
I meant Origi lol.

14 Apr 2016 15:39:09
Yet there was a time where we had strikers that BR refused to play hence, playing Sterling at CF. How the days have changed.

14 Apr 2016 14:03:24
Haven't been this excited about a game for quite a few years. I'm already getting butterflies and it's only 2 o'clock.

We're only 4 games from greatness!

14 Apr 2016 14:46:39
Im far from confident about tonight. I hate saying it but i think we will go out.

14 Apr 2016 15:36:30
Supremely confident of an LFC victory 😎.

You can be cautious yet positive, Irish.

How do Eds and reds, I'm finally out of hospital and hopefully on the road to recovery. Thanks for all the support guys.

I wondered if we still held any interest in Paul-Georges Ntep I know we where interested in him last season, I think he may have had a few injuries this season.

Cheers guys.

{Ed002's Note - No and his injury situation has probably done for his planned move elsewhere.}

I know the term is used too easily in these times but I truly believe Sheyi Ojo could become world class level, i'm taking top 5 players in the world by the time he 24-25.
Anyone else feel the same?

Believable6 Unbelievable6

14 Apr 2016 11:19:01
I find it better to let him get along with it at his own pace and not make him out to be anything before he's there. The lad is a bagful of potential, but that's it at the moment. It's exciting but he'll have a few bad games and fans will throw him on the scrap heap. Just ask Ibe.

14 Apr 2016 11:19:13
No pressure then!

14 Apr 2016 11:51:44
He had a good assist but rest of his touches and take on were poor, and we are tokin about world class. Wonder y british players were always sensationally hype up?

14 Apr 2016 13:53:02
I disagreed mate, not because I don't think he has potential but because I'm not a fan of these kinds of posts. Ojo's got a long way to go before he's even a regular let alone one of the best players in the world. We put way too much expectation on young players, it can effect their psyche (crumble under pressure or become cocky) whilst straining the relationship of player and fan (they dislike the scrutiny, the fans is disappointed when they player doesn't turn out to be what they hoped for) .

Just let him be a young player enjoying his football without burdening him.

14 Apr 2016 14:43:11
see him live a few times, clearly talented but is far from ready to be a regular first team player. Best of luck to him, hopefully he continues working hard and the club reward him by giving him regular first team chances!

But think with young players can never tell as they develop at different rates. Look at bale never thought he was going to be a top player then BOOM inbelievable hat trick against inter and grew ever since. Then have someone like Walcott who looked amazing as a young player but hasn't developed much since.

14 Apr 2016 15:22:41
Way too young to be hyping him up just yet, but i have to say the take on and stand up cross was barnes - esque . we should be so lucky that he turns out that good.

14 Apr 2016 17:09:58
To be world class you need a lot of things including

1) Talent (Technical skills/ pace/ vision/ creativity)
2) Temperament to perform in big moments
3) Work ethic to keep working on improving, even when successful
4) Resilience to bounce back through tough patches
5) Luck with injuries
6) Great coaching
7) Opportunities to play
8) Not to go off the rails when first get a bit of money and fame

There's plenty of youngsters that start off the potential to be world class. the reality is by definition most don't make it, and it's usually not for a lack of talent

Ojo clearly has the raw material, I hope he's one of the few that can take it all the way.

14 Apr 2016 17:28:53
Impossible to tell at this stage, literally impossible.

14 Apr 2016 10:29:36
What is it with people turning teams attacks into acronyms? SAS kind of worked, but MSN?

Believable3 Unbelievable1

14 Apr 2016 10:51:23
This is nothing new as Rush and Fowler was the RAF as well as Shearer and Sutton being the original SAS. I believe it comes down to the amount of coverage the press gives certain strike forces and abreviating them is time saving.

14 Apr 2016 16:03:04
Or s 'n' m if you like a bit of kink?

14 Apr 2016 10:05:23
Is it just me or is Kante the perfect player for Klopps style of play. Huge engine, never stops running and closing down. For me we should stop at nothing to get him.

Believable9 Unbelievable2

14 Apr 2016 11:18:28
Do you mean that you think that you are the perfect player for Klopp's style of play as well as Kante?

14 Apr 2016 15:19:08
Kante is pretty a much perfect for most styles of play? It's like saying messi or lahm Is perfect for his style of play.

I believe he is single and interested in women. He has profiles on multiple dating websites if you're interested.

Apologies in advance if this was not the "situation" you were referring to.

14 Apr 2016 09:30:43
Does anyone have any interest in him?

{Ed001's Note - lots are looking at him mate, he is very much in demand.}

14 Apr 2016 09:31:43
Also what do you think of him as a player?

{Ed001's Note - I like him a lot, but he is very raw.}
