Klopp gone with a very defensive team today, with allen lucas and can all playing. Interesting choice to bring in kolo and also drop ibe and benteke.
1.) 05 Jan 2016 19:12:38
Suck them in, hit them on the break - BANG
It's all going according to plan 😎.
2.) 05 Jan 2016 19:17:46
5-0 to us, yeah Ron? ;) £5 on Kolo to score first!
3.) 06 Jan 2016 00:45:24
Line up looks defensive but it is non stop attack in 1st half from us.

I haven't seen Jonas Hector play much and I was wondering if you think we should pay up?
Is he as good as everyone is making him out to be, or has our desperation affected people's views?
1.) 04 Aug 2016 17:43:47
I'm sure I saw an Ed say he wasn't that much better than Moreno :- (
2.) 04 Aug 2016 17:45:32
I'd say he's solid rather than spectacular, but that's probably what we need right now and I for one would like to see us bring him in even if we have to pay up given its the last piece in the defensive puzzle. Besides if we can get 15mln for Ibe then 20mln for a German international is fair enough, even if a LB.
In terms of his play
1) he's defensively very reliable
2) while not as attacking as some other fullbacks, he's got a good cross on him and decent dead ball delivery
3) he's 6'1 so useful on set pieces and good in the air
4) he can also play defensive midfield which might be a major bonus if Can struggles or there are injuries.

No, i'm sure ed001 said rodriguez or guerriero wasnt much better than moreno.
Hector is the opposite. He is unspectacular yet solid, an actual good defender. Quite frankly i couldn't care less about whether he is good at attacking or not, i just want a good defence. An experienced german international would certainly help boost our squad.

You know what Zimbo, I'd take that - we need a solid platform for our multiple attacking mids to operate from - 4-1-4-1 formation anyone with one holding mid anyone?
5.) 04 Aug 2016 19:42:34
Ah, rhis is what I read
{Ed002's Note - Hector is a decent player who has shown he can play going forward when three centre backs are played. DEfensively in a more traditional system he is well thought of. But not young and the asking price is very high. }
Defensive quality works for me - it'll probably not happen though.
6.) 04 Aug 2016 20:35:43
I don't care if he never ventures over the halfway line as long as he is solid defensively and has pace, that will do me.
7.) 04 Aug 2016 21:00:29
He certainly ventures over the half way line, he dribbled 50 yards past 4 defenders and scored for his club.
8.) 05 Aug 2016 00:56:52
Wooly, I disagree. The Guerrero I saw for Portugal was top drawer. Better than Moreno offensively and defensively and lethal on the set piece as we saw in the final. He is the one I wanted because he is just class but Dortmund came and got him. I would've taken Hector but not at that price.

Hi ed002
Not entirely liverpool related but he was mentioned further down the page, and I was wondering, what makes Mino Raiola such an attractive agent. What makes him so good?
{Ed002's Note - He does a good job for jis clients.}
1.) 02 Aug 2016 10:51:38
Considering he brokered the Balotelli deal to Liverpool, do you really have to ask that question, Josh?
2.) 02 Aug 2016 14:35:46
You don`t become a super agent if you cannot do a good job for your clients. It`s that simple.

Amazingly the match against man city on 31st December wasn't sold out and they removed selling criteria, and now I have two tickets!
It will be my first anfield game and I'm already buzzing- I've been waiting for years and never been able to get tickets.
There may be more tickets so get there quick reds!
1.) 25 Jul 2016 19:30:20
Gone now except for two singles in the back corner row of the Anfield Road end.
I figured when I saw your post, I'd try to buy two from Canada and explain to my wife that I'd be gone for New Year's.
Good news is, those sort of surprises could lead to me never needing to ask permission again in the future. ;)
2.) 25 Jul 2016 19:32:06
Thank god I saw this, I rushed to the LFC website and somehow secured 2 tickets for me and my Dad as well. Over the moon. But I've got to say, what a headache.
23 Jul 2016 17:53:38
Can I ask everyone's thoughts including Ed's of putting Joe gomez at left back assuming he's fully fit. I thought he looked a step above Moreno at the beginning of last season and at the moment he is only being referred to as cover for the CBs. Personally I think he could do a job at left back. Thoughts?
{Ed001's Note - he played well initially, then began to struggle just before his injury. He is a centre back, play him there.}
1.) 23 Jul 2016 18:38:49
We are five times winners of the European Cup yet are operating without a left back at the club!
No, not Joe Gomez for me, buy a real left-back like Tranmere or Oldham or Accrington Stanley do.
2.) 23 Jul 2016 22:34:21
But is he good enough there? That's the question. I feel Klopp thinks he needs a bit more time.
22 Jul 2016 00:29:54
Eds
Do any of you have much of an opinion on Amavi- is he much of a step up from Moreno?
Thanks.
{Ed001's Note - he spent most of the season injured but was a class apart on the field for Villa before that. Still I would prefer us to avoid injured players.}
1.) 22 Jul 2016 15:40:54
Me too, Ed. ACL injuries are very tricky as you never know how well a player can be back to his best after such injuries.

I suspect it is his agent / Valencia drumming up the price for him, for arsenal to pay.

It is Valencia trying to drum up a bigger offer from arsenal.
18 Jul 2016 11:52:00
Also surely most great players were let go from an Academy where they had a lot of potential but weren't great yet?
18 Jul 2016 11:50:37
Would you really describe matic as great?
{Ed001's Note - on his day he is.}
17 Jul 2016 11:57:46
We beat Fleetwood 5-0? Is that not enough?
16 Jul 2016 18:29:32
Why would clyne leave ed?
{Ed002's Note - Try searching.}
