    Lallana (2020), Clyne(2020),Matip (2020), Milner(2019), Origi (2019), Moreno(2019), Sturridge(2019)

    Origi's contract isn't up until June, 2020. Helps when we want to sell him is all.

    I haven't been following the Sterling racism story closely but as I understand it he points to two recent articles to back up his claim of persistent racism in the media.

    That's kind of laughable - to borrow a well known expression: "a swallow does not a summer make".

    You definitely haven’t been following it closely. Go on to Adam Keyworth’s Twitter page he has a list of numerous stories. It’s posted here in the forum a few pages back.

    There’s a flock of swallows there for ya.

    I don't know why, but Goalkeepers clattering players like that to make a clearance warms my heart

    Just saw the clip of the Sterling thing. What kind of cretin do you have to be to act like that? (the fans not Sterling) Thought he handled it pretty well.

    Maybe the press just don't like him? Its possible to not like a black player for reasons other than he is black.

    If it was a white player there'd be no hint of anything to do with race.

    Maybe the ones making it about race are the racists :)

    We are being linked with Thorgan Hazard in January he has a £26m release clause.

    They are saying that he has no release clause now.

    Is he any use?

    Never seen any of him at Chelsea.

    I seen him in one of the recent internationals for Belgium and he got a few goals. He looked decent enough, has a good shot on him....but I wouldn't judge him off that alone.

    Last time a team conceded more than 1 goal in a league match? Has to be that actually now that I think of it.

    Edit: dammit, not first.


  • Subscribers Posts: 32,866 ✭✭✭✭5starpool


    Pity we have conceded more than 1 goal 6 times in the CL since then though. Puts a blot on our copybook.

    We're sh*t in Europe it turns out.

    Hopefully the do or die nature of tomorrow in front of the home crowd will provoke a strong hard pressing performance. Someone needs to explain the permutations to me though :(

    Was there some stat during the game that he'd equaled the record for best start as a player in the premier league (16 games unbeaten)?

    we win 1-0 we go through, if they score we need to score 2 more then them to go through so 3-1 4-2. If we win 2-1 we go out

    We're only sh*t away! Two home wins, so far...

    We have to win 1-0 or by 2 clear goals. So if they score 1, we need 3.
    That seems more likely than a clean sheet, IMO...

    Lehman went 47 apparently. If he beats that we'll have a fair shout for a trophy.

    Even I knew that much! No I'm thinking about the points and head to head, who would lose out If Liverpool get the result required for them to go on?

    Looking at Thorgan Hazard's stats in Germany he has 44 goals and 39 assists in 163 games for Gladbach.



    A nice squad player to push the front 3 along with Shaqiri.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Napoli presser.

    According to Reddit, Ragnar Klavan is (I think) the Estonian football of the year. I say think as the article appears to be in Estonian or whatever they speak over there.

    I think Alisson got the record for a Liverpool player, not for any player in the PL.

    I think, but I'm not sure, that if we win by the right amount, and PSG win, then the two of us go through. However, if we win by the right amount, and PSG draw, then Napoli go through with us, as they scored more away goals in the head to heads v PSG. If PSG lose then we're through if we win, no matter what our score is...

    He's won it 6 of the last 7 years!

    Is Lovren available tomorrow?

    The defensive turn around is astonishing since we got battered away to spurs last season.

    I believe we can win the league, we have one of the best attacks and defence. We never had both of those in 09 and 14. And even if we don't do it we'll continue to challenge for it, this squad isn't near its prime.

    If we win 1-0 or by 2+ we:
    - Go through on top if PSG lose or draw
    - Go through in second if PSG win

    If we win by 1 goal (but not 1-0) we:
    - Go through top if PSG lose or draw
    - Go out if PSG win

    Any draw or any defeat sends us out.
