No so sure... I was asking a question about Southampton not Spurs? Anyway looks like a ridiculous situation to me.

[Minder]

I would take the 11/2 on them now to get relegated

[Rossie11]

Spurs have got the best deal in getting their manager. When he took over they were in the bottom 5. When he left they were top 8. Players are seriously overrated and overpriced. There is every chance Liverpool will start a champs league game this season with 3 Southampton players who were in the relegation zone only 18months previous.. Can't wait

  yes that's how it works of course.

Need a goal scorer in big time to take the pressure off DStudge. Also still need another full back. Hopefully lallana is back sooner than thought.

Thats the problem,should Sturridge get injured (like he is prone to do) or have a lesser season than last year (quite possible), the other options arent enough to take up the slack i dont think.
Not getting Remy is a dissapointment, and although it will probably never happen, i would love to see Rodgers testing the water with a big bid for Reus

[Rossie11]

Massive year for Sturridge. Can he produce the goods on a regular basis when defenders don't have Suarez on the pitch to worry about? We will see but I have my doubts
Sanchez would have been the perfect buy when Suarez left.
If Sturridge hits 14-15 league goals this season Pool should be happy with that.

Did Saurez assist many of Sturridge's goals last season?

LFCTV where showing all of sturridges goals last season there at the weekend and there isn't  as many as you would think assisted by Suarez.
A lot of assists spread between Coutinho, gerrard & Henderson

...who had more freedom because of the attention given to Sewerez.

Im not doubting Suarez's loss will affect the whole team, im just pointing out that the vast majority of the assists for Sturridges goals didnt come from Suarez , which i was surprised at when i watched them again.
Suarez would actually have provided a good few assists for the likes of Sterling

Lovern had been only there a year so he wasn't in that team. If I remember righlty Liverpool didn't start that season too hot either, didn't mean other teams wouldn't want Gerrard, Suarez etc. Lallana & Lambert are obviously not to their standard but you can't judge them being in the relegation zone after half a dozen games and suddenly deem them not good enough.

While a number of our players were made look better than they are because they played alongside Suarez, two who I think play better when he's not there are Coutinho (in particular) and Sturridge. Mainly because it means they see more of the ball.

Whether Sturridge can repeat his form of last season is certainly open to question. I'd have faith that he can, but worry about injuries. I expect Coutinho to have a big season.

I remember Voronin, Aqualini and even Apsas looking very good in pre-season friendlies, so its definitely an exercise in futility judging a player based solely on that. Nonetheless I'm predicting with utter confidence that Emre Can is going to be a star for us!!

Markovic is the real go of Patrik Berger.

Would you judge them better after 19 games.. half the season?? Well that's where they were.. The relegation zone. Lambert Lallana and Rodriquez (who we were linked with yesterday)

Pochettino bought Lovren for 8.5m in June. Is he now worth 20m based on what he done last season? How much was that goal at Anfield worth??

Its depressing as a Liverpool fan that whilst the other contenders are buying (or been linked with) the likes of Barcelona, Atletico or Juventus players Pool are raiding a over valued squad after a one season bounce.

That's my worry too Rossie. I'm not quite sure where the fixation on Southampton has come from. I'm very worried about this upcoming season. We might be in for a major let down. I appreciate the fact that overall the squad is stronger, and maybe that will be enough. Getting rid of Aspas and Alberto, while bringing in some of the players we have is definitely progress, I get worried when I look at the prospective first XIs this season and last. This one does not look better.

  13/14 
Mignolet

Johnson
Skrtel
Sahko
Flanagan

Gerrard

Henderson
Couthinho
Sterling

Suarez
Sturridge

14/15

Mignolet
Johnson
Lovren
Sahko
Flanagan/Enrique

Gerrard
Can

Henderson
Coutinho
Sterling

Sturridge


Is that our first choice XI at the moment we reckon? Or does Markovic come in instead of Can, with Henderson going back beside Gerrard? Either way it looks nice and solid, but a bit ho-hum.
