Gerrard saying he can't wait to get back and play with Suarez, he'll do well to get in the team the way they're going at the minute.

Fair play, a few others won't admit that their scepticism was unfounded though. Roy Hodgson and quite a few "experts" on this site reckoned nobody would do any better with the same players.

I put my hand up and say I was one of those. Never claimed to be an expert though, far from it ;)

Need to sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic as whoever he joins they usually win the league.

they need Notts Forest to win the play-offs as the last time they won they the league Forest, QPR and Norwich were in it.

Any chance of lpool signing Seamus Coleman this summer?

They'd give him to their first team up the East Lancs Road before selling him to Liverpool

I dunno money talks and all that.
It wouldn't be the first transfer between the clubs.

It would be nice to see a few Irish players at the club,personally I think Kevin Doyle would be a good signing.

Think money would be better spent elsewhere.
The priorities are CB, LB and 2 wingers.

Baines
Jagielka
Coleman
Young

Please  ;)

QuoteLiverpool have been linked with Baines alright (he's a Liverpool fan) but I'd say it's the last club Everton would like to sell too so I'm sure they would want a small fortune.


Money and Joe Cole?

where did that pic emerge from? twitter?

ps Stevie G will get back into the team without a shadow of a doubt!

He prob will but Liverpool do seem to be playing better without him. His best football seems to be behind him. Looking forward to seeing if Kenny can keep this going into next season. That is when the real test will be.

I think that is the key point Liverpool are playing like a team without expectation and without pressure, that will all change next season. Personally I think their squad is too shallow for any sustained EPL challenge but will be close to top 4 next season.

Unlike this year when they are currently ...ehmmm....5th?  If thon bollix had been roaded a month earlier the club would be in the top 4 now and of that I have no doubt.  They will not win the PL next year but there is only one direction they are going and that is up!

That really would be a lateral signing (at best), doubtful it's how the club wants to move. Doyle is good value, and enjoyable to watch - but is he a top 4 club player?

Would be a great player attacking down the wing!!

Could it be Lpool play better without Carroll?

Surely Baines is the one from Everton you should go for?  Seem to be doing ok on the goalscoring front at the minute.

Liverpool have been linked with Baines alright (he's a Liverpool fan) but I'd say it's the last club Everton would like to sell too so I'm sure they would want a small fortune.
Bugger off Liverpool. Baines and Coleman are both happy where they are.They would only leave for a really big club.

In fairness Dalglish has done a brilliant job and if they sign 2 or 3 quality players in the summer, particularly a good left back and winger they will be pushing for top 4 next year.

The foundation for their 5th place possible finish was on a run of games when fan and media expectation was at an all time low, as already exhibited by your good self Liverpool won't have those low expectations next season. Different season different pressure.

We'll see next season. A lot of opposition fans do seem to be VERY keen to dismiss Liverpool's recent form under Dalglish as being merely a product of playing without pressure with nothing on the line! ;)
Seems a bit simplistic to me. The replacement of the sulking, off-form Torres with Suarez has been a huge factor, as has, obviously, the arrival of Dalglish and Clark, with the resulting change in tactics, and the fact that quite a few players are now playing for their futures. I don't think you can explain the performances against both Manchester teams, Birmingham, Newcastle, Fulham etc. over the past two months with the mere fact that there's nothing at stake!
