Players for the central and wide attacking positions next season could be

Suarez, Sturridge, Sterling, Coutinho, Suso, Teixeira, Borini (plus Konoplyanaka and maybe one other esp if Alberto is on loan) which would be a very tasty mix of talents.

Ibe?

slingerz · 13-02-2014 12:05pm

For next season Liverpool could have a good squad once the loan players come back given their experiences on loan.

Mignolet - (Reina)

Johnson - Flanagan - Kelly
Skrtel - Toure
Agger - Sakho - Ilori
Enrique - (Cissokho)

Lucas - Gerrard
Henderson - Allen
Coutinho - Suso - Texieria
Sterling - (Moses)

Suarez - Sturridge - Aspas - (Borini)

hmm we still need additions in CM and FB positions.

Wisdom and Robinson to come back aswell. I seriously doubt we will sign Moses permanently.

Does anyone think we'd have a shot of getting this fella Griezmann? Seems to be doing very well for himself at Real Sociedad.

If we hadnt got that late peno it would have been a rough night, both goals we conceeded, comical stuff , Toure and Skrtyl
With Spurs playing so well I hope we can stop the errors at the back soon

I think it's time that some people realised that Sherwood isn't going to run Spurs into nothing. I said it 2 weeks ago that they were our only realistic challenger for 4th place, I stand by that, United and Everton are done. I'm actually fearing Adebayor at Anfield if we don't have Sakho back.

We just gotta keep winning, we are 3 points ahead with a far superior goal difference so effectively 4 and they still have to come here.
I'll admit Im not that confident yet, we need to drag Arsenal into a 3/4th place battle as Spurs always choke against them.

Every game is a cup final but IMO we have 5 big games left Southampton/United away and Spurs/Chelsea/City at home. If we can win those 4th is ours.

Finish in the top 4, he'd be a possibility and an incredible signing.
Finish outside the top 4 and no chance.

Grayditch · 13-02-2014 12:11pm

4th is still a long way off. A lot of great work done, and a lot of hard work still left. A slip or two and it's all gone.

slingerz · 13-02-2014 12:13pm

Reckon if Moses and Cissokho are cheap, then the club may look to bring them in as squad cover. I'm sure the club will want to prepare for the competitions that they may be in next season.

Centre Mid is an obvious area to improve as is the attacking wide area (Kono)

A lot will depend on the wages that some players are on whether they'll be moved or their competition.

noodler · 13-02-2014 12:15pm

Last night feels like we got away with it.

We really need to improve on our away form.

I am not saying we can't beat Spurs, City and Chelsea at home but probability may suggest we will drop points against at least one of them - need more away points to pick up the slack.

I feel terrible for Toure, was watching the game in Sinnots, christ I actually had to laugh at the OG, it was just gravity defying! I really like him generally and thought he was fine at the start of the season but I don't think we expected he would be required to play this many games. I hope Agger (as we usually hope) can stay injury free for a while.

Skrtel is blowing so hot and cold at the moment as well. Didn't like the way he seemed to blame Flanaghan for the goal last night - it was his poor attempt at a clearance.

EDIT: Gerrard and Sturridge were awesome. Whats happened to Suarez? I want that golden boot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure about Moses, but the pre-agreed purchase fee for Cissokho is meant to be 4 million.

I think there will be slips by us, but looking at the teams below us it is difficult to see them not slipping at least as often as we do.

Everton are still my worry from the chasing pack. If they can get some of the injured players back, especially Lukaku, then their consistency will bother me further.

Spurs have a better squad than Everton, and are in a better position in the table, but there is something about Everton this year that has me wary of them putting together a string of good results as we head towards the end of the league campaign.

mike65 · 13-02-2014 12:26pm

Stop panicking

Spurs are one injury from disaster - Ade (who has never been the most reliable anyway) they have to play EL games, they have to visit Anfield, plus play Arsenal, and Chelsea away. Thumping a team that has bunked off school early last night was no proof of anything other than how poor Newcastle are right now.

Vanolder · 13-02-2014 12:26pm

I love the smell of napalm in the morning!

klose · 13-02-2014 12:26pm

What spurs need to do is offer adebayor a new contract so he goes back to his old ways

Everton only have a bad run of fixtures at the end of April start of May with a trip to Southampton sandwitched in between both Man Utd and Man City going to Goodison.

Well they also have Arsenal going to Goodison at the start of April

No panic, people just calling it like it is. They're 3 points behind us and are winning games like us.

Skrtl had told Flanagan to mark Richardson, that's why.

They also have to go to Chelsea and have a trip to Anfield ahead of them (as well as a trip to West Brom who are taking points of all top teams at home this season -only City of top 4 have beaten them there). Plus their home form is the weakest of the top 6 (its as bad as Utds)

just to add our away form recently isnt that bad either last 6 we've lost 2 [City and Chelsea] but won 3 drawn 1

Lack of communication between the two of them but flanagan was better placed to defend bent and skrtel richardson. Skrtel could see richardson face on and was not aware of what was behind him so it was a desperate attempt to remedy all situations when in fact he made the situation worse. If he glances over his shoulder before the ball comes in, he sees flanagan has got bent, thats all it takes.
In saying all that Mignolet should have f*cking cleared out the lot of them. If ever there was a time to come and punch the ball away taking all and sundry with him it was then. Inside the 6 yard box, do a schmeichel on it and clear f*cking everything.

Grayditch · 13-02-2014 12:43pm

I have more faith since the last 2 games, but I'm not going to start thinking about 4th until Spurs actually do start messing up. That's just me. I'll enjoy the celebrations all the more if I don't start digging into the bag now. If we don't get ... then we don't.
