Wrong.

[Milltown Row2]

Wrong.

I'd agree with that chart, about 30 years ago

[Armamike]

Is there an Everton version of this?

What started off as a very promising window , has ended up being disappointing overall.
Getting VVD in was essential, and well over due.

I dont have a big issue with either letting Coutinho go for the money that was offered or letting sturridge go out on loan, as he is likely to play very little.
The issue is the lack of strengthening other areas.
All of a sudden the squad looks very weak, and an injury to Salah or Firmino could spell disaster for any top 4 ambitions.
I admire Klopps conviction to go after the players he really wants like VVD & Keita rather than just sign players for the sake of it, but Surely and attacking reinforcement was needed?
The goalkeeping situation also needs adreesed, but i get the feeling he will go big for someone like Allison or Oblak in the summer and get rid of both Mignolet & Karius.
I dont buy the whole 'january is a difficult market' BS.
Some of Liverpools best signings in recent years have all been in January (suarez, coutinho, sturridge), so it is possible to get top players in then as much as it is in the summer.

The patient approach to player recruitment is very laudable but the problem is if the club is losing good players in the meantime it's 1 step forward 1 step back.

Agreed. And miss out on the Top 4 and suddenly a lot of the top players become much harder to sign in the Summer. With it being a World cup year as well so you really do not want to be making 3-4 new signings who end up missing a chunk of pre-season along with the bulk of the first team  and dont really start playing together until mid September.

Talk of Markovic to Swansea for £15 million. Mental.

[Main Street]

Should Liverpool win tonight, their recent league record would read very decently.

[Syferus]

Wrong.

I'd agree with that chart, about 30 years ago

It's kind of egotistical that Liverpool supporters would think they matter that much to Man Utd fans, honestly. It's pretty clear their big rivalry is the cross city one these days.

Did you ever explain why you called north_antrim_hound a racist?

When your team has won nothing in the 6 years f trying under Rodgers and Klippity Klopp then you need to pretend you've still some importance to disguise abject failure on the field.

Indeed.

Don't give a f**k about the FA Cup per se myself. What was disturbing was following up the poor performance against Swansea with that appalling effort against West Brom. Good performance and result tonight along with the same against Spurs and another decent run would see last week forgotten fairly quickly.

Are you a Liverpool fan, if not see the pie chart above

That 2nd goal before half time should end this game as a contest however this Liverpool you know...
