Chris Kirkland. I thought he was going to be ace.

How many games did it take before you realised he was fucking shit?

One?

I can't even recall his debut. The most expensive goalkeeper in British transfer history.

I do remember him playing at Anfield for Coventry and I think we scored 4 (Heskey was brilliant). Kirkland was very busy indeed, and made a few stops, but he was getting peppered from every angle and quite a few possibly just hit him and stayed out.

He was fucking shit

Cisse was my big one. Scored goals for fun, was announced a year before, and had great compilation videos. I couldn't wait.

I thought Diouf must've been a don to pass up on Anelka in favour of him. One of the biggest shitcunts to ever play for us.

I thought Cisse would be amazing. He did have one good season, when he scored 19 or so.

Diouf I was unsure about, because for all the wanking over Senegal at the World Cup, when he was already signed I think, he didn't actually score any goals.

That didn't change.

Lucas. What a fucking load of shite, compounded by the length of his stay.

As I've said many times, there hasn't ever been a worse footballer than Lucas to stay so long at Liverpool. There's never been a player as mediocre as him lasting more than three or four years, never mind the eternal darkness that was his fucking DECADE at the club.
 
Joe Allen.

When we bought the fake Chinese Rolls Royce thinking it was the real thing.

The housing bubble played out over those years.

Not really.

He was understudy for a year to Dudek then when Jersey fucked up against Utd he got his chance and played 14 games on the bounce keeping 6 clean sheets before injury ended his season.

He got another run of 10 games in 2004/2005 before injury fucked him again.

All managers make bad signings, or persist with mediocre players for far too long.

Although, and I may be wrong, I don't think there's a Liverpool player in Klopp's first team that I dislike. That's very rare.

Since we finally got rid of the accursed Lucas, and settled on a core of quality players, there's really nobody I shudder when seeing his name on the team-sheet.

Admittedly, I'll never be a fan of Matip, and the likes of Wijnaldum and Chamberlain need to convince me regularly, but the rest? Happy days. Even Lovren and Karius appear to be showing a bit of form and consistency, and Firmino has improved 100% this season.

It's still a very thin squad, and requires reinforcements, but there's certainly less shit players

Really??? Not even Moreno

Ooooh I was at that game. Don’t get to many but that was a good day out.

Like when we almost won the league after Carra retired.

Like we almost won the league twice with Carra too. And like he won 2x FA Cups, 3x League Cups, 1x Uefa CL & 1x UEFA Cup.

Lucas Leiva won a league cup.

Have a tissue and fuck off to Newcastle.

I never had high hopes for him though, he was a young signing who may sound promising but you can't really know what you eventually get.

The real problem is that he was here for 10 fucking years, which means I basically spent my 20's watching Lucas play football for Liverpool.
 
By the end of that decade I had come to the belief that scouting good players was nigh on impossible, that we were on a hiding to nothing, and we'd have more luck solving gravitational field equations using quantum mechanics, and by this same incomprehensible complexity that is football I was entirely incapable of understanding what Lucas did or what his absence would mean. Thankfully the last couple of windows have restored my sanity, it's not that fucking hard to tell good players from shit ones, and our club was just fucking stupid all this time.

Which was made worse by his legion of apologists.


He was quite literally good at nothing. Most poor players have at least one saving grace, one decent attribute. Hell, Momo Sissoko could at least tackle. But Lucas was so painfully average at EVERYTHING
