How about settling the game the way the Ladies hockey was decided the other night. Players attacking from the 50 one on one with a time limit. Or my preference would be 3 attacks each, 2 forwards attacking 2 defenders and GK. Goals only and no time limit. Would be great to watch imo

Rubbish... sure just constantly foul then till time elapsed

Read what I said again.

Teams such as Kilinkere can just effectively throw a championship to get downgraded to maximise chances of success in Junior. Not saying it can't happen in counties such as Down but due to league placings and championship being connected it is counterproductive to do so. Div 4 in Down is not really the place for any team with serious ambition for any sort of success.

Queue and crowd management forms a part of the training that the Door Supervisor undertakes.

It will be interesting to hear if the staff on duty were employed directly by the hotel and whether or not they were suitably licenced with the proper training.

Happy enough with that draw.

I'd have been happy no matter who we got.
Seems though fans of another certain club are more interested in who we and City got than themselves.

You are obsessed with other clubs. Almost every other post has a direct or indirect jibe at them. Those that aren't contribute nothing to this thread other than stating the obvious. Posts like this where you try to set yourself out as being some sort of superior being: predictable

1-0 is enough I think but if Napoli score Liverpool will need to win by two clear goals. Olympiakos was the same

I could see it being Madrid, Roma and Hoffenheim

We will have to wait and see what happens. Jusr think LFC as a professional organisation should and will provide some further clarity for the benefit of their millions of followers.

Yes it would appear that way Geoff. The last thing the club said officially was that he was taking a leave of absence for personal reasons. The club's communication is usually excellent. I would be surprised if the season starts without something concrete to provide closure to the situation. Why exactly do you think they don't need to provide an update?

Has there been anything official from the club over summer in relation to Zeljko Buvac? They need to confirm one way or the other.

Well done, that's put Liverpool into clear second favourites for the league, 4/1 which I think is a bit short, 6/1 is a better price..

Utd look flat and boring.. Jose out by Xmas

Obviously no comparison between who United will start with in a Couple of weeks but decent performances by Liverpool. I watched the two post match press conferences and the difference in man management is stark.  Klopp was gushing in his praise for his young lads while Jose essentially threw his players under the (parked) bus. Basically said Sanchez is unhappy because the players available aren't good enough. Can't see how that helps these players develop.

Read in a report as well that Liverpool's average age was younger than United which surprised me

I read all of the above in the same report.

Liverpool need a player to play up front in Firmino's position. There is no adequate cover there. I would like to see Werner who could play from the left also.

Would this Fekir be an option as a false 9 if bought?

From what I have read about him, I didn't think he would be that type but only going by what I have read.

Would love to see Werner signed as I really rate him but at the figures being talked about he would be an expensive backup.

I see Villa are looking £40m for jack grealish.  If that's true Can is saving Juve some money!

Werner's versatility would mean he is much more than a backup. The likes of Ings, Solanke, Sturridge, Origi can't play wide. Werner could and give good options.

I don't post in here very often but still read with interest. I completely agree with J70. Champions League and Premier League are what is important. If you can't compete for both then it is nice to win one of the domestic cups. It is about winning trophies but the trophies that really matter. The evolution of the champions league, the importance of competing in that competition regularly and the impact it has on the whole club and it's ability to attract the best talent, mean that qualifying for it has superseded a domestic cup win in my opinion.

I would take 3 champions league final appearances and the thrills of this year over an FA Cup or a League Cup. It could be just me. But it shows that they are developing into a good side and puts them up there in the eyes of every player in Europe as a desirable place to play their football. Although sad, winning the FA Cup means so little these days. Just look at Arsenal. The FA Cup has meant precious little for 10-15 years now for the biggest clubs.

Hoping Liverpool can capitalise this summer.

Klopp made an interesting comment post-match on Saturday night when he said that Karius' second error was down to the first and that it is so difficult to control the mind after the first goal. Now hindsight is a wonderful thing but after the first goal, I did consider that it might be best to put Mignolet on for him for that exact reason. I wonder given Klopp's comments that it also crossed his mind. Maybe a waste of a sub given they had already used one so early and with the prospect of extra time / having to chase the game late on.

Karius won't come back from this. I thought he had been doing pretty well but there have always been doubts. Pepe Reina is the only keeper Liverpool have had in 20 years where there were no doubts. Dudek when he first came in was similar until his Old Trafford nightmares. Liverpool need to do a Van dijk in this position and go out and spend the money on someone in the top 4 or 5 in the world. Anyone else and there will be constant scrutiny and more than likely failure.

On Fabinho, know very little but nice to see quick business being done. I reckon a lot of the signings are already lined up and 3 or 4 could follow before the world cup. Klopp's record in the transfer record has been a standout positive of his reign.

Wouldn't be overly concerned at result today. Rested 5 of starting team for Tuesday and got Salah and Mane off early. They will be ready for Tuesday night.
