Jones has been good.
Brewster was good before being subbed probably was pre planned.

Van Den Berg has been poor. Hoever poor mistake but been good since.

Harry Palmr · 26-08-2019 07:44PM

2-4 Liverpool with Longstaff. Soton were doing pretty well, Barnes a big threat for them.

Nico Williams for Harvey Elliot.

FT 2-4, Brewster, Jones, Chivirella, Longstaff.

Hoever was pronounced as Whoever by Soton TV.

Agent Coulson · 26-08-2019 08:06PM

Can't wait till we hear weekly from pundits that Hoever is hoovering up everything at the back.

MD1990 · 26-08-2019 08:10PM

Hoever is much better going forward than defending so looks an RB rather than a CB.

Looks a good understudy to Trent in a few seasons. Mayb just some cup appearances this year.
Van Den Berg showed some classy play but overall had a very poor game.

Attacking players were all very good.

Adrian touches the sign

Looking at Klopp over the last few weeks he looks a lot healthier lost some weight and it looks like he doesn't have the pressure of the club and City and fanbase on his shoulders now that he won the European Cup.

It looks like he has freedom to enjoy football again.

Can we still make an agreement to sign someone next summer while the transfer window is still open elsewhere in Europe?

I'd love a Naby Keita-style deal to be announced

It's possible to make a deal to sign a player from another club at any time including during a transfer ban, however their registration can only be changed during a transfer window.

Atletico signed Costa during their transfer ban but his registration could only be completed in the transfer window following the completion of the ban so for almost six months he could train with but not play for his new team.

There's nothing to prevent Liverpool from agreeing a deal to sign a player next summer. The club didn't loan Keita back to Leipzig after the deal was announced, he was their player until the transfer was completed the following summer. That's why they were able to demand a ridiculous fee in order to allow Keita leave in the winter transfer window.

Chirivella must have gotten some contract when he signed here as he's here 6 years now.

I kind of see now why there's so little activity on the Man City thread. When you're winning all the time there's f-all to post about.

Ya its like Arsenal fan tv, its only attractive to watch when they lose.

I'd like to get Real Madrid in group stage, would be two glamour legs, they'd beat us, we'd beat them most likely. Would be very good games though.

We'd make it through any group, it's the two leg ties where we'd shine.

I'm at the stage now with this team where I think Madrid would do very well to beat us home or away. It's quite the turnaround especially when you consider that when we got to the CL under Rodgers we essentially threw the two ties against them. No amount of explaining away will ever make me understand why we did that.

The capitulation in Madrid was an utterly embarrassing low point of his reign. Every bit as bad as the 6 - 1 hammering in Stoke.

Great little stat here:

I'd fancy the Pool to beat Madrid home and away if drawn together in the group.

Agree whole heartedly with the sentiment but more important is that the Dec CL fixture is a dead rubber with the group already won so Klopp can rotate ahead of the Christmas madness and Club WC. So, get Real and a couple of minnows and put it to bed in November.

Osmosis Jones · 27-08-2019 03:57PM

I wouldn't want to go near Real Madrid now that they've got Hazard, we've never been able to handle him.

rob316 · 27-08-2019 04:17PM

Couldn't really care who we get, its us they will all be looking to avoid.

dmigsy · 27-08-2019 04:26PM

Would like Real at some point in the CL. Hopefully in the knockout rounds. The teams' fortunes since they last met have been on opposite trajectories. Every team in the competition will be hoping to avoid Liverpool, with the possible exception of Barcelona who may want to exorcise some demons.

BorneTobyWilde · 27-08-2019 04:55PM

The group stages are tricky, we struggled last season, 3 defeats and conceded 7 goals in 6 games. It was a very tough group though.
We have to win at home, that is key. We lost every away game in group last season, even to a team I've never heard of.
Maybe a easy group would be nice, save the glamour ties for the KO stages.

With all the talk of klopp taking a break from football in 2022 would it be a good idea for fsg to give him a Hugh contract but allow him a sabbatical every 4/5 years to re energise, if I was them I'd do everything in my power to keep him, lijnders could take the wheel in 2022 for a season if needed

Starfleet Student · 27-08-2019 05:40PM

If Jordan Henderson added captaining Liverpool to a league title ontop of captaining them to a champions league victory would that make him a bigger club legend than Steven Gerrard?

If Klopp says his time is up then he will be away at the end of his contract never to return. He was offered a deal by Dortmund, he could name him price and role and he basically pissed off to an island in the North Sea called Sylt and recharged his batteries. He then took the Liverpool job.....

If he leave LFC his next position will be the German national team...

Yes in my eyes but I was never a huge fan of Gerrard, fantastic footballer, brilliant captain, club legend etc etc but I don't hold him in such regard as some lesser quality players. I really don't know why!

Agent Coulson · 27-08-2019 05:45PM

I would say yes he would be in my eyes as well.

rob316 · 27-08-2019 05:46PM

He also ended his sabatical early to join us. Managers like him and Gaurdiola are so intense and give so much they burn out. 2022 would make it 7 years he'll be here, that is a very long in today's game. I never expected more than that.

Got to admire him, he could sign a bigger contract and still leave when he has planned but like Dortmund he wants to see it out.
