A question for the fans here. If lfc join a breakaway league and a new lfc stays in the english league. Which lfc would you support and a second question for the eds. Is there a possability lfc could field two teams, one in europe and ine in england in a similar set up to Barcelona who i believe have a b team in the lower league?
Cheers for your replies.
{Ed001's Note - no idea to either question to be honest.}

Pretty sure they're discussing a breakaway from the champions league which would be invite only. Which would mean top 4 isn't nessecary as the big 5 will get invited anyway and get same or more money than from champions league. Can't see it ever happening myself more chance of ww3.

They`ve been talking about this since the 90`s and it still hasn`t happened and it prolly never will.

Ive just see that Johan Cruyff has been diagnosed with lung cancer. I remember watching him in the 1974 world cup when I was a youngster.
I hope he makes a speedy recovery.

Chain smoker, it will be difficult for him to recover unfortunately.

Praying for him.

I quite like the idea of Benteke as the striker with (from left to right), Couthino, Firmino and Sturridge as the players to play off him.
Do the eds have any opinions on whether this would work and if not why not. I know we are all speculating and guessing at possible formations, but I thought I'd throw this out there for discussion
Love the site. I read it every day.
Thanks Eds for all your hard work
{Ed001's Note - it wouldn't work for me, Sturridge is best up top, he is the best striker we have, it would make little sense to play him anywhere but up front.}
1.) 13 Oct 2015 15:29:51
I'm not slating the lad but Benteke is starting to look redundant to me, another square peg for a round hole. Sturridge - and Ings for that matter - are a better fit. Maybe Klopp can turn it around for him??
Also Lallana, we have too many for that 10 position and more than that, he's just not been up to the standard. Again, hopefully Klopp can turn it around for him, but we've collected so many midfield players in recent years that he seems surplus to requirements.
I agree with Ed1, Sturridge's quality is ever evident - Ed, do you have any word on his injuries? Is it looking like he is past all that? I hope so, seems a good lad, and doesn't deserve his career to be wrecked.
{Ed001's Note - sadly he will always suffer with injuries due to his explosiveness. That kind of acceleration places great strain on the body and it comes with a price attached.}

i remember reading an article about sturridge and one of the reasons he left chelsea , it was because he did not want to play out wide on the left he wanted to play as the main striker , so would it make him happy to be playing in a position he does not like , plus he is a better striker than anyone at the club the only way it works for me is to play with 2 up front , or maybe use each player in different games , when we need a striker to hold the ball up use benteke or use sturridge when we need to attack with fast counter attacks , but again i would go for the 2 up front
3.) 13 Oct 2015 16:01:59
ed1 you say explosive players suffer with injuries, so it begs the question how has cr7 been so lucky, is there a way of training/playing that can limit injury proneness or is cr7 just a freak of nature.
Thanks.
{Ed001's Note - bit of both, but he is suffering badly now and his knees are shot because of it.}
4.) 13 Oct 2015 16:04:51
Thanks for response Ed.
What is your view on Benteke then? Is it too early to tell? Do you think he will find form under Klopp? Form, in so much he will either be assisted in adapting his game or else his natural attributes will suit Klopp's style. I suspect the latter is not a like scenario ?
Cheers for sharing any views.
Rob
{Ed001's Note - I think he needs to adapt or Klopp to adapt the system to suit him, his natural game is not really suited to the way Klopp usually plays. The good news is that he has shown, in flashes, that he can play high intensity, quick break football, so it is up to him now. If he shows willing, he has the pace, power and technical ability to benefit from the Klopp style.}

If sturridge plays as one of the 3 his role would be more of a second striker running in behind benteke a role i think he'd excell at the only question mark would be his defending
6.) 13 Oct 2015 17:57:06
Thanks Ed, I would agree.
Do you see a future for Lallana?
Any others you feel you can mention would be better off moving on?
{Ed001's Note - I still think the signing of Lallana was a mistake, if he stays he is just blocking a spot for a youngster for me. Having said that, I think his willingness to work will be well received by Klopp and he will stay.
Other than Skrtel, Allen and Enrique, I can't really think of anyone. I mean other than Mignolet.}

Jay19 & Ed01. Look at Aguero. Same exact story.
8.) 13 Oct 2015 21:57:43
Ed001, I'd add Milner your list. LFC needed quality in the middle, but the previous incumbent thought differently.
{Ed001's Note - I was hoping he would be played out wide or as cover only.}

I think its fair to say that our inability to keep clean sheets has cost us the title this year and that our defense will be looked at again over the summer.
Is Marcos Rojo a realistic target for the left back position?
Do you know what the plan is for Ilori next season? Will he get game time or will he be loaned out again.
And finally, can you give us an update on Martin Kelly's future.
Thanks for keeping us all updated. Your hard work is much appreciated.

Is it possible that clubs could field two teams, one in the "EPL" and one in their national league with players being interchanged. Would they be allowed to?
{Ed002's Note - No - that won't happen. Once the clubs go they will go for good.}

Difficult one, but for me Pele is my number one choice although Brazil produced so many wonderful players around that era. Jairzinho a close second.
Gerd Muller also deserves a mention. 68 goals in 62 international games. 14 world cup goals was a record that stood for 32 years (thank you wikipedia)
Bobby Moore simply because he could stop Pele.
