Villarreal v Liverpool pre match chat

[Hansern]

We're not selling him. I hope.
Swap deal for Suarez is the only acceptable offer.

 

[Skullflower]

i'd love to knock barcelona out.

 

[SummerOnions]

I can see a diamond as well, with a paucity of midfield options I'm not sure how else we can line up. Lallana vs Firmino the only big decision. I'd have Lucas at CB if we had another midfielder

Mignolet
Clyne Skrtel Lovren Moreno
Lucas
Milner Allen
Coutinho
Sturridge Firmino

A score draw would be a good result

 

[Mystic]

The questions weren't that difficult. Looked like he didn't understand them at all.

Perfect English!

 

[manwithnoname]

I really don't get that.
I mean physically being there to watch him for one game. What if he's shit in that game?

That's how modern scouting and player recruitment works. It's entirely based on attending one match in person, and then a decision is made based on the player's performance in that one match.

We've been doing it for years. That one game was usually against us aswell....

 

[Markeh]

Coutinho to replace Iniesta 😳

 

[cloggypop]

Damn shame we only have one Lucas for tonight.

 

[Skullflower]

I hope we lose so coutinho stays and man u win the league so van gaal stays.

I hope he makes an amazing discovery.

This is bollocks to pressure Neymar into signing his contract extention isn't it. They can fuck right off involving us in their negotiations and potentially unsettling one of our players - cunts

Or maybe they're just genuinely interested in signing Coutinho?

Quick quesiton for Irish reds:-

I am driving up to Donegal tonight, is there any Irish radio station that carries commentary for this match?

I wouldn't think so. You'd get half hourly updates, but I'm not sure you'd get the game.

 

[tombrown]

Balls

I have just downloaded an app that is supposed to get 5Live commentaries, but I think they are normally blocked outside UK

 

[Aidan O' Neill]

Could you try get on to one of the Scouse stations on their website on the phone? Listen from there maybe?

You might be able to get 5 live on medium wave 606, 693 and 909

Also, this app is good: http://tunein.com/

 

[the count]

Newstalk will have regular updates and reports on any scores etc but that's probably not enough to match your needs

 

[Jack D Rips]

Off The Ball on Newstalk will be keeping a close eye on the match I would think. It airs from 7 - 10pm

 

[cloggypop]

5 live blocks coverage for live footy.

I thought that was only on digital services, not analogue

 

[dogboy]

They can't block analogue so if you're close enough to the border you'll get 5live. Talkshite has bollox reception.

Why leak this to the media now then, check out Barca's financial pressures at the moment, and their attempts to tie Neymar to a new contract

 

[cloggypop]

Let's hope Lucas has the game of his life and wins his dream 60 million pound move to the heart of Barca's defence.

 

[juniormember]

To unsettle the player they want, perhaps?
And why would Neymar feel any pressure having a player below his level linked to his club?

For shame.

Durrrr! To force him into signing a new contract with the threat of an inferior player coming to the club in order to take his pl......oh.

 

[tony]

Perhaps to convey their intention to sell him to Utd if he won't sign. They are not in a financial position where they can up their wage bill with lots of additional players

Try downloading Betternet VPN .. it's free and damn good. Astrill you have to pay for (unless they give a 'try before you buy') but with it you can select the country it seems you are logged in from so e.g. I can watch UK only video clips on Sky/BBC, here in China, that are supposedly only for viewing in the UK.
