Arsenal transfers are starting to look a bit scary in my opinion. Not sure if anyone agrees but there team is starting to remind me of ours a few years ago under Rogers. With no real defence, I wonder if they will play a game of score more goals than you concede. Who knows what will happen before it does, but this upcoming season could be really exciting. Looking dry as expected on the Liverpool front but we have such a well connected team and no significant leavers. Also, super glad Wilson has agreed a loan and not a permanent deal to Bournemouth. Eddie Howe is such a great English manager; I hope he manages to grow Wilson and can see him returning to us in 12 months for the better.
Have a good day lads and ladies!
{Ed025's Note - you too mate..

You have a leaking wobbly defence, the one player, THE ONE PLAYER, you’d don't look to is David Luiz!

I think Tottenham will close the gap if Loris can put together a good season.
The others for me have improved but not enough to challenge.
3.) 08 Aug 2019 12:51:19
Not worried about the Gooners just yet; if Luiz is their ideas of strengthening the defence then good luck with that.
Eddie Howe is no where near being a top coach level in my opinion but at least Wilson should get some game time.
For us it’s down to keeping clear of bad injuries. If we can do that we will be happy bunnies.
4.) 08 Aug 2019 12:53:31
I'll start to take Arsenal seriously when they sort that defence out. Until then it's same old.
5.) 08 Aug 2019 13:06:45
Spurs to win the league imo, there form at the end of last season was frightening.
6.) 08 Aug 2019 13:15:15
Except in the final lerchy, lol.
{Ed025's Note - they were both a disgrace in that one tim, most boring final in the history of football mate..
7.) 08 Aug 2019 13:46:20
Yea but we won that's what matters, yea not good game to watch but every supporter won't care if thrre team won it lol, but spurs form was crap at the end not frightning, just manage 4th after being well ahead in 3rd spot.
8.) 08 Aug 2019 14:48:27
If all these team have strengthened like everyone is worried about then they will take more points off city. Winner winner chicken dinner 🤷🏼♂️.

I’ll take a boring Champions League final win every year Ed! We had enough fireworks in the Semi to prove ourselves worthy.
{Ed025's Note - but this was the showcase of european football SG, and in particular the premier league....but it was like watching a non league game mate..
10.) 08 Aug 2019 13:58:23
Yeh but we've also won the most exciting final in football history so who cares same result.
{Ed025's Note - i dont do ancient history LFC8.. :)
11.) 08 Aug 2019 14:30:45
Ed025 obviously never saw the 1991 European Cup Final then.
{Ed025's Note - i did actually johnny and very entertaining it was...so what happened in the last one?..
12.) 08 Aug 2019 14:35:59
Wow
you win the champions league final and get labelled a disgrace by a bitter blue nose on a Liverpool forum.
What is the world coming too?
{Ed025's Note - im not bitter KR, just a football fan who wants to be entertained...that was like having a tooth out mate..
13.) 08 Aug 2019 15:34:03
I don't know Ed, 1974 world cup final was a bore as well.
{Ed025's Note - its up there stone..but the monotony in madrid still takes the biscuit mate..
14.) 08 Aug 2019 16:09:47
Evertons 2005 Champions League Qualification Campaign has to be up there.
All the bitters I know still go on and on and on about Drunken Disorderlys disallowed goal.
Now that is boring for you.
{Ed025's Note - but that was a decent game KR, put the spade down mate.. :)
15.) 08 Aug 2019 16:32:56
Arsenal's front 3 will be really good. They've added some good young talent. If Luiz and Rugani both get across the line, they will be better. I think they will be in the hunt for top 4 this year and challenging even higher next season or the season after that. It does remind me of how the current Liverpool team was built, adding the pieces you want.
I really like what Emery is doing on paper. We'll see if he gets the results.
16.) 08 Aug 2019 16:29:53
I agree ED25, I was thoroughly entertained.
{Ed025's Note - you just like the fact we got robbed KR....bitter red?..
17.) 08 Aug 2019 17:25:43
Bitter? - Nah mate ill leave that to the blue half of the city they are experts at it now and I don't want to play catch up.
{Ed025's Note - there are bitters on both sides KR..
18.) 08 Aug 2019 18:41:56
Lerchy in what respect was Spurs form frightening towards the end of last season? They were within 3 points of us in February but ended up 25 points behind. Their form was shocking towards the end of last season.
Spurs are miles away from winning the league. Miles away.
19.) 08 Aug 2019 19:24:07
So were Leicester - just before they won it.
Let’s not make too many assumptions before the season starts!
20.) 08 Aug 2019 19:02:23
Why would we be bitter about the Bitters, Ed25? Any LFC fan who is bitter about a bitter, in not and never will be a real LFC fan, end of. Also regarding your comment that both teams (Spurs and LFC) were a disgrace in the CL final, only a bitter would say something that asanine.
It is not the job of either team to entertain those who don't care about them. The goal of a final is to win, period. When Ramos took out Salah and Karius in Kiev, we heard from every other fan or pundit that Ramos was some warrior who did what was necessary to help his team win and was hailed for that. Were you whining about how disgraceful he was then? If you said nothing then pls, say nothing now. Klopp himself said that the only diff. btw Kiev and Madrid was that we won. If you want to see us entertain the gallery, you can watch a mashup of LFC's gong=ho footie on youtube that won us NOTHING until now. When Neverton get to a final, they can entertain you then. That is not LFC's job, period.
Also, if a Spurs fan on Youtube can admit that LFC deserved to win the final cos well, they made things difficult for his team and credit to us, I could not be arsed about what some other fan from some other team (esp. form NEVERTON of all clubs) has to say about us.
{Ed025's Note - i imagine that the spurs fan was just as embarrassed as you lot were redwolf because they were part of that debacle, in the end its what you expect from your team i suppose, for me its an entertainment industry and as such i want to see things that i can applaud and gets me off my seat, maybe your a win at all costs kind of guy and dont care if the means to that end results in something akin to someone poking needles in your eyes mate...i honestly dont know..
21.) 08 Aug 2019 21:24:20
Ed25, You are gravely mistaken. I actually played football at a decent level and always loved free-flowing football. Unlike you tho, I don't mind a chess match where two teams with contrasting styles go at it esp. when games change due to a goal. Also, I am not a win at all costs guy cos as a former athlete (ran track and played basketball), I know winning is not everything in life.
For years, the "experts" lectured LFC and Klopp as to how we should be pragmatic and not go hell-for-leather all the time during games cos doing that has won us nothing. Then, Klopp actually listens to that advice and those same people are still complaining that Klopp should have gone for it more. Again, I'm over it. Klopp has learnt and we now have 6. Read it and weep.
N btw, the Spurs fan (who had a dog in the fight) showed a lot more grace than you are right now BUT I can understand that due to the rivalry (which is that much a rivalry if you haven't beaten your rivals in near a decade in all comps. )
I will say again, entertaining people who don't care about us as a club, is not our job. That is your club's job when that opportunity comes to play a final. So When your lot make it to the CL final (in whatever millenium that happens), you can write them an open letter, demanding that the team entertains the Neverton fans. Until then, we at LFC, will do what it takes tactically and legally, to win any finals we play going forward cos Klopp has learnt his lesson after losing a bunch of finals trying to what was that word again? Ah yes, "entertain". Peace.
{Ed025's Note - i can see your point about a chess game redwolf, 2 teams going at it hammer and tongs where the skill of the defence may be able to stifle the guile of the attacking team, i have seen some very good 0-0 games in my time i can tell you..... but alas this was not one of those times, this was about 22 supposedly talented footballers, the cream of europe, the epitome of the best league in the world...and they made a holy show of themselves, im talking not being able to control a ball or make a 5 yard pass, im talking slow laborious build up resulting in nothing, poor crossing, a plethora of offsides, and negative tactics from both sides, you obviously seen something different so i suggest the tv companies issue all the public with red tinted glasses the next time liverpool play in a final...just like the ones you wear..

BIG SHAQ looks like he's gearing to start tonight. Hope he hits in some screamers!
12 Aug 2019 07:54:25
Isn't it ironic that our keeper gets injured and not a player like Robbo.
16 Aug 2019 10:24:27
Good point Johncrow Jr but what even is a world-class midfielder? Or who would fit the bill? a lot of fans say the same, but our midfield is set up to be more comolex, balancing the press with build up play. Take one piece out of our Jenga tower and our dynamic changes. I'm not sure a Couthino would fit into the squad for this reason as players like this want the centre stage, not the dirty work. That's what makes Hendon and Gini so frustrating to watch. Side to side football is not attractive but if posession is lot we get it back and start over. Normally we end up getting out way and overpowering teams. Perhaps the solution needs to be an attacking midfielder from the bench when teams park the bus. But world class players won't do that, so who? Perhaps the question needs to be have we got the right attacking players to change the game from the bench? Food for debate anyway.
15 Aug 2019 21:23:05
Do I think Bobby is the world's best? No. Do I think I'd have a team without him? Definitely not! But I really don't think you can put him into any category. The lad is absolutely selfless and in modern day football that quality is hard to find.
{Ed025's Note - thats a very fair assessment LRG..
14 Aug 2019 11:05:34
I guess that's stemmed around Alderwiereld.
09 Aug 2019 18:32:14
I can't see Rodri being the be all end all for City. In my opinion Sane may be a huge blow to their season. I watched a lot of City games towards the back end of last season, praying they would slip up with a draw to give us that point lead we were all dribbling over. My observation was for a number of games, teams held City whether that was missed chances or defensively sound. Around the 60-70 minute mark, Sane would join their attack and teams simply could not handle the width and pace of City.
With Sane out, I wonder whether City will cope with stalemate situations.
That being said, they were without De Bruyne who is a beast at changing games.
Enjoy the opponionated rant and 3 points tonight lads and ladies!
09 Aug 2019 14:43:56
Love the optimism lads, roll on those 3 points!
