I enjoyed watching Liverpool more in the days they won nothing to be honest. The Fowler, McManaman, Collymore etc era was full of exciting football,whereas now it's a real struggle to stay awake during many Liverpool games.

Yea winning every game that isn't the league cup or the fa cup is very boring.

It's an entirely subjective thing, but yes I did find most Liverpool games quite dull last season. Especially in comparison to the likes of Leeds or Man Utd during the latter half of the season.

Not sure what you're trying to say here? I'm perfectly entitled to hold that opinion,and "having a clue" has no bearing on that.

Not a liverpool fan but some of the games like the barcelona and athletico champions league matches were fantastic. I don't watch much premiership live but not sure how they could be viewed dull especially with the intensity Klopp has them playing at from what I can see.

Bronco

I acknowledge your personal view on the subject and respectfully disagree.

Leno, like a lot of keepers of lower level teams, had one of those games where he pulls off worldies. Penalties is always a harsh way to go but you win some, ye lose some. Sunday is more important and 3 points against Villa is all that counts. Never liked playing them away. Always felt it was a banana skin game so hopefully that won't be the case.

Shaq looks like he's gone, Brewster too. Wilson was poor last night as was Divock but can't see either going. Thought Grujic was the best player for us on the field and there really is a player in there. I would stick with him, even though we are heavily loaded in MF. Think he'll get game time this year.

Tell us specifically how they're boring. Is it Salah, Mane, TAA, Robertson, VVD , etc,.

They beat Barcelona 4-0 after being 3 down, they had lots of comebacks last season that weren't boring, battered Man C when it mattered, Leicester away also and numerous other games. Go into specifics if you're going to hold that view.

I'd much rather have this team than a defence like there was in the 90's

As someone who dislikes Liverpool - because they are now so successful & more consistent than we are - I would have to say they are great to watch any time I have seen them.

The high press and attacking is very easy on the high and makes for exciting games

Oh please don't reply to that moron. He's someone who created an additional account with the sole purpose of destroying the thread. I doubt he believes a word he writes, he's just trying to wind up.
I suggest not giving him any oxygen. I have him on ignore so can only see his moronic nonsense when others quote him.

I love Shaq. Has unreal quality, but injured too much and hard to see how he'd get much gametime if he stayed.

Looks like a big 20m+ bid in by SheffU for Brewster. I don't think Klopp rates him, I don't either to be honest, but others do and hope he does well.  It seems we have both a buyback clause and a 15% sell on clause if he does hit the heights.

I think it's reasonably obvious from watching him out on loan that Wilson is not Liverpool class. I think he may not even be premier league class. He is great dead ball delieverer, so I was disappointed to see him only taking them from one side. It's pretty much all he can do, and he does that really well generally, so he should have been on them all. He was a little unlucky with the pen, it was a great save. Not sure anyone would buy him, but I'd imagine there's work going on behind the scenes to send him on loan somewhere.

Agree re Grujic. Although disappointed that he didn't put himself forward for a penalty. I was sure that after Adrian had saved the last two pens, it would be Jones and Grujic and was confident they'd both score.

I was delighted Origi was only on the bench for a league cup game. But the downside is it means he's on at the end and a potential peno taker. He gets goals, he gets important goals. But he's still often absolute dirt. Would love someone who needs goals to come in with a big bid for him, but you don't hear him linked too often. But he's definitely dropped down the pecking order another couple of notches with Minamino finding his feet and Jota arriving.

Brewster is a brilliant finisher from anywhere in around the box. I think Klopp's concern is the rest of his game when it comes to the system Liverpool play with the high press. The hope is that he'd develop that and maybe come back in a couple of years.

Happy to clarify this for you - I'm not saying they're always boring or every player is. I really enjoy watching Firmino when he's on form, and Mané,Keita, and Wijnaldum for example have their moments too.

Too many times though I haven't enjoyed watching the combination of Salah's incredible selfishness, Henderson's general lack of ability and Alexander-Arnold's scattergun crossing. To be clear, I'm not saying Salah is a poor footballer,I'm just saying I usually don't enjoy watching him.

I get that others see it totally differently and I can understand that results tend to make people gloss over performances,these are just my own personal thoughts.
