So Champions League

[Spaghetti Legs]

Think it's fine having concerns who wouldn't after losing a player like Suarez? Think we also have to be cognisant that not everything is within the clubs control when it comes to transfers. Sanchez going to Arsenal was all about location embarrassingly for him and not much we could do there. I also think Lallana is a cracking signing and will surprise a few next year. Can could be a canny signing, no pun intended and Markovic has potentially enormous potential but of course could be the next Bojan. Lovren would be a good addition if he comes and could be the line leader we've been missing and we haven't given up on Moreno yet. That's just the players we're aware off so hopefully some pleasant surprises to come. We're still a team who play some formidable footy and, whereas you cannot replace a player like Suarez, we can still build a stronger unit overall. I'm looking forward to it.

Nice post, agree with a fair bit of that, definitely looking forward to seeing Lallana next season though the Can and Markovic signings are sort of in between in that they look like really good buys for the future but not so much the here and now, think it's a lot to ask of 2 players so young and new to the league to make a real impact next season, hope they do but it would be no surprise if they didn't, its almost unfair on them to expect much even with all that money spent on them, do many 20 year old's ever come over here and hit the ground running?

Just fear it will go pear shaped again if we don't get it right this summer, for it not to do that i think we need 2 or 3 more to come in that can make a real difference straight away, hopefully Lovren is one of the answers but its hard to really be sure yet especially when our full back positions are in desperate need of sorting out.

Hearing about Ben Davies/Bertrand and Bony for big money is a face palm, ah fuck it, as you say its best to be patient and wait and see what actually happens and how the start of the season goes.

I don't think Bertrand or Bony are going to happen.

I've had concerns all along even before Suarez went, said consistently that i think we might well end up wasting the opportunity we have this summer on here, then we get linked with and buy players that we could get anyway without CL football and those concerns start becoming reality.

Just giving my opinion, if it upsets the happy clappy brigade then so be it.

Tbh the couple of posts I made on the topic weren't even aimed at you. Maybe you've been dominating the type of talk I was referring to but if you have I didn't notice.

It's just been a general vibe on here today which hasn't been there before. I think a large part of it is down to a bit of panic at seeing the Sanchez news in print.

That's it really. If you want to take it as a crack at you then fine.

The buzz from last season and getting CL football has completely gone.

Yes there is some time to go but i don't know how any Liverpool fan can't be having some doubts about it all, since last season ended its gone from expectation and excitement for next season to just hoping that it doesn't go tits up, again.

If Rodgers gets Liverpool top 4 or better next season then take a bow that man, he would have done another fantastic job and cemented himself as one of the best coaches around.

Is there a formula that could possibly explain what could feel so good, brings you so much pain?

Yeah, we were a great team with Suarez. However, whilst mot necessarily back at Square 1, we're definitely a couple of steps back.

We need players who either make that back up and, preferably, take us beyond.

Pain? only when we lost to Chelsea.

Fair enough, it looked like it was aimed my way, no worries.

You can take me for drink some time.

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

What is it with the Irish and Brits. The window is all of open 11 days and it's all doom and gloom.

Jesus, bring out some rainbows would you girls.

We've had our best season in a long time..

We've a great team, a great manager and some money behind us.

We always bounce back. ALWAYS.

Fuck you and your "positivity" localny!

We won the Champions League with a stunningly shite team and no great goal scorer. So once all of that parpy-parpy-parp-parp mittleuropean oompa-pa-pa and all of that be-blazored posing finishes, anything can happen. Yes,we need a forward, preferably one who isn't a flesh-eating guttersnipe, but hey ho, we can do anything. We're bloody Liverpool!

 

[localny]

Yes, we are not spurs, for the record.

Probably looking forward to seeing Luis tear Real/Barca/PSG/Bayern a new one on the way to #6. Would hate to play Barca now.
