The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread - #DankeJürgen

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Still say Caulker shouldve started tbh

[Armamike]

It's official now!

Had enough chances to win 3 games.  Flamengo obviously had a bit about them, but they created few clear cut chances.  Very cynical outfit.  Robinho is some kid.

Howdy Lads

Champions of the World 

Things can change quickly in football, and this moment may be fleeting, but at the moment we are the best. The best in the world!

Let's enjoy this. What a group of lads we have in red. And what a leader!

Happy Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW Can you believe it ? Liverpool FC are World Champions !!!! #ynwa

Time for beers and fillies later ....

I knoww this is bookies just trying to generate some turnover, but of interest nonetheless.

Odds on players to join Liverpool:

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 8/11
Aaron Ramsey 8/1
Kylian Mbappe 8/1 (Real Madrid favs at 2/1)
Virgil van Dijk 6/4 (same odds as Chelsea)
Andrew Robertson (Hull left back) 8/13
Ryan Bertrand 5/1 (Manchester City favs at 4/6)
Demarai Gray 100/30
Charlie Taylor 7/2
Michael Keane 4/1
William Carvalho 5/1
Jordan Pickford 6/1
Moussa Dembele 8/1
Marco Reus 8/1
Joe Hart  8/1
Daniel Sturridge to stay 5/4 (West Ham 5/2 to sign him)

I'd be very surprised if Mbappe wanted to join Liverpool.  I imagine he could move to a much better team.

I'd take Ramsey if the price was right.

If the chat of Van Dijk costing 40 or 50 million is true they shouldn't even consider it.

Bertrand would definitely improve the side.

Reus is massively overrated and no doubt massively overpriced.

Hart is just shite.

HA! HA! HA!

Stallion was some man alright.
It was not a coincidence that himself and indiana disappeared at the same time!

[J70]

Indiana. Whatever happened to HIM? He should be lording it in smugness over the success of the Dubs.

Well done but, as usual, United won it years before you! 

[laoislad]

We've conquered all of Europe the World.
Allez Allez Allez....

World Champs has a nice ring to it!

Seem to be picking up an injury every game, which is a little worrying.

Depending on the length of Matip and Lovren's injuries and with Fab also being out, I wonder does Klopp consider a Caulker type loan deal for a center back? Van Den Berg is no were near ready and Hendo is grand against the likes of Monterey Aquarium but don't want him as first choice back up against anyone in the League.

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Hoever at cb and Jones in mid could be on Klopps radar, the new guy comin in will help numbers too but aye the injuries are piling up...

Where does this competition rate?

I remember United winning it in 08. While it's nice to say your team are World Champions, in the great scheme of things, it didn't matter a big pile to me.

The fact that it's in Qatar says a lot really. As with most things with football now, it's all about corruption and greed. And now we have it in the GAA too. Merry Christmas!

Pages 336 on the Utd thread has the main discussion on Utds win of the world club cup, one poster (the obvious one) bangs on about it. The other posters more concerned with the Milan game and Vidic being red carded

If you are talking about money, it's worth $5 million for the winners, the FA Cup is worth £2 million and the League Cup is worth £100,000.
It gave Liverpool more exposure to a middle eastern and Asian audience.
It gave Liverpool more exposure to a wider international audience.
There is a feel good factor about winning another Trophy/Cup early in the Season.
Winning is a habit.
Medals like these may not be the center piece of a decent players collection, But they are a nice peripheral addition.
