Question for the eds! Do you know if Liverpool have had Norwich starlet James Maddison watched! seen the lad play numerous times this season and can honestly say the lad is sn absolute certainty to be a future England international! Had everything you could ask for at his age even bossed the Chelsea game at the weekend.
{Ed001's Note - not that I know of, sorry.}

Ok thanks for the reply ed! I know we can't watch every player but this is one they should run the rule over IMO looks as accomplished a player as I have Seen
In a long time.

Norwich best player by a mile have thought that myself red date if he could make the step up.
3.) 10 Jan 2018 21:38:36
red dale, are you his agent? He’s no where near the quality needed to play for Liverpool. But like you say, your opinion. Accomplished player I’ve ever seen is a bold statement though.
4.) 10 Jan 2018 22:13:08
Red80 was really implying how accomplished he is for a young lad! not suggesting he would be a starter for a minute but the lad is going to be a star best player in the championship in his role already and his delivery and free kicks are something else! If I was his agent I'd be a wealthy man soon 😉.

I'm a Liverpool fan but my family are all Yellows (Norwich fans. )
Maddison is a class act, i've seen him play multiple times this season. In my opinion he's not far off Dele Alli already. He's composed on the ball, great vision, workrate, passing, shooting and gets stuck in like a Klopp player.
Would love to see him at Liverpool, even if he gets loaned straight back out. He's got the potential to be the creative CM we need in my opinion, although i can't see him starting at the moment, his price now won't be anything near as inflated as it will be in 2-3 years.

Strange how we seem to have this week defence and yet we have only lost 3 league games all season, less than any other team other than city! Are we really that bad?
1.) 01 Feb 2018 18:15:31
Goals conceded is a better measure. Here’s the top 6:
City 18
ManU 18
Chelsea 19
Spuds 22
Liverpool 29
Arsenal 34.
2.) 01 Feb 2018 18:45:38
Dale the problem is when we concede it’s usual 2 or 3 mate.
3.) 01 Feb 2018 18:49:14
In 36 games this season we’ve conceded 2 or more 11 times almost a third of ours games not great .
4.) 01 Feb 2018 18:52:36
Thumbs down.
Where would we be if that was 15/ 18 instead of 29.
5.) 01 Feb 2018 19:04:45
Goals conceded at home:
Man U - 5
Liverpool - 7
Man City - 9
Yes, we have conceded 22 goals away from home. However we have the second best away record in the league with 24 points from 13 games. Only City with 31 points can better that.
Our problem has been drawing games at home. Despite having the 2nd best defensive record at home, we have just 26 home points due to 5 draws. Spurs and Arsenal have 28, Man U have 31, and Man City have 37.
So it is our home form that is holding us back and yet we've only conceded 7 there. It actually points towards a lack of goals scored at Anfield strangely enough. We're top scorers away from home with 32, but we have just 25 goals at Anfield. Teams like Burnley, Man U and Everton are still turning up and sitting deep to knock draws. We need to find an answer for that. You can blame the defence for conceding in those 1-1 draws to be fair, but for me Klopp needs to be playing 2 strikers at home against these defensive sides. Put Ings or Solanke up top WITH Firmino. You don't need 3 of Can, Henderson, Gini and Milner in those kind of games.
Just my opinion though lads. Too easy to blame the defence alone. There are XI players on the pitch.

Those nos. don't lie, Ron.

It’s the number of draws that make the difference rather than losses. We’d be second if we turned the draws into wins.
8.) 01 Feb 2018 19:54:17
Agree entirely with above post from MK. When we know teams are going to sit deep we should put another striker on, get wide and get those crosses in. We’re in the best position we have been for a while though so we shouldn’t complain to much, but it’s always about finding the next level of improvement, not standing still, otherwise we’ll just stagnate and fall away again like we have done several times over the last 25 years.

Whatever the impact on results, goals conceded is the most accurate reflection of a team’s defence.
Out of the top 6, ours is currently rated 5th.
Some of that is down to having one of the poorest goalkeepers and part of it is down fo the midfield and fullbacks leaving our defence exposed too much.
Wouldn’t swap our football for Man U though.
10.) 01 Feb 2018 21:19:47
the only thing which should make a difference is point collected and the position in the table.
11.) 01 Feb 2018 21:34:42
Stats are sh** we are where we are.
12.) 01 Feb 2018 22:34:55
We conceded half of those goals in 4 games.
13.) 02 Feb 2018 01:38:21
You can prove anything with stats - for me it's more the confidence thing. When I was a kid back in the 70's and then through the 80's if we ever went 2 or 3 goals up it was 'Thanks for coming and see you next time'. This past couple of years it is a case of 2 or 3 up . let's hope they don't score one or we are in trouble.
