It's been a long time since I done French in school but to me that looks like Anto wants to play along side Sturridge.

Pretty nailed on that we'll sign Griezmann. I'd say it's just a matter of time before we sign him for 120m and 400k a week.

Yep, pretty likely indeedy.

To be in garth crooks team of the week (despite the game week not being over), is there no greater honour in football?

Turtyturd · 12-09-2016 01:30PM

Couldn't see Atletico taking a gamble on Sturridge. Simeone would literally murder him first time he lost the ball and decided to lie on the ground rather than try win it back.

''Former Liverpool striker El-Hadji Diouf has told L'Equipe he warned Mario Balotelli his career at Anfield would not work out because of Steven Gerrard.

Diouf said: "I told him not to go to Liverpool. It wasn't made for him, that things couldn't go well with Gerrard, who has never had his talent.
"Gerrard is a jealous man who doesn't like men of character. ''

No-one could ever accuse Diouf of having character

After Friday we'll have already gotten away games against Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs out of the way.

Hull City away and Bournemouth away is the fear unfortunately

5starpool · 12-09-2016 02:48PM

out of the following away games I wouldn't be surprised to see us lose around 5 of them.

Hull
Middlesboro
West Brom
Stoke
Bournemouth
Sunderland
Swansea
Watford
.

Everton

Looking at the Chelsea game. Will they be more worried about us or us about them? Their backline surely will be having a few restless nights thinking of Mane running at them! I was watching them play the Swans yesterday thinking we should get great joy from Terry/Cahill/Ivanovich at best - there's no pace there... obviously Costa is the worry for us.

How you think we'll fair?

Sure you could say that about any season. If we had lost another couple of games and finished 3rd people would have been saying it was a decent season.

It's like people saying that we blew it by losing that 3 goals lead vs Palace in 13/14 when it was ultimately blown before that.

Agreed. The revisionism on here as a wonder to behold sometimes. We blew it against Chelsea plain and simple. All we needed was to draw at Anfield against Chelsea but Rodger's team at the time knew only 1 way to play and that was to try and blow away the opposition and Mourinho is a dab hand and combating that style. That draw left us needing to beat Palace by 7 clear goals to have the title back in our own hands or we would have lost the title on goal difference, which personally I think would have been even more heartbreaking.

Lose by the odd goal in 5 with Costs scoring the winner having broken three people's legs and shot Karius.

And only picking up a yellow card as usual.

I am very tempted to swap out Hazard for mane in my FF team for this game and beyond if that answers your question.

Mane destroyed Chelsea at their place last season.

It's the one result that I still can't forgive Rodgers for. He went out gung ho and tried to win instead of setting up more cautiously and just play for the draw. It would have been enough and it was that decision of how to play against Chelsea that cost us the title not the Palace match.

Turtyturd · 12-09-2016 03:58PM

I would expect similar to the preseason game against Chelsea. Anti football is their thing no matter who is in charge so I can see them parking the bus and trying to catch us on the break. Unfortunately they'll be better than Burnley at it.

Hopefully nobody falls for their sh!t Suarez's antics and some gets a little unseen payback for Fabregas' attempted leg breaker.

Breakdown of goalscorers under Klopp (Lallana has more than I thought!)

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 12-09-2016 04:37PM

Just reaslied, we only have four players injured at the moment - I think that's the lowest it's been in about a year.

The idea of potentially seeing a clean sheet does that to me...

Hear this all the time, it's easy to say this with the benefit of hindsight, had we stood off them defended and tried to hit them on the break it's lightly they would have scored anyway given our woeful defending that year, and then everyone would say Rodgers bottled it and should have kept his attacking plan which had been blowing teams away, and was working that day to until Gerard slipped on his arse.

That's my 2 sense on it and won't discuss it further as It's been rung out enough tbh.

It will be the same for us all season, attackers will love the chance to get at us and their compatriots at the back will not be looking forward to handling our attackers.

Chelsea mauled Swansea, that game ending up 2-2 was a complete freak result.

We will have to score at least 2 to get something from the game imho.

Couldn't agree more. We didn't just want to win that game, we wanted to blow Chelsea away. Crazy approach to take against a Mourinho side really. He thrives off of nullifying teams that try to play football. The palace game was almost irrelevant after losing to Chelsea and yet it still gets thrown about as the game where we threw it away but it really really wasn't. We needed to beat them by 7 or more to win the title, hence why we kept attacking like our lives depended on it against Palace. All people see is that we were 3-0 up and drew the game. Context is always left out.

I expect Mane to be 2nd or 3rd in that list by season's end.
