So Allen, Adam, Coates, Flano, Sterling, Morgan, Borini, Agger and Henderson are all in bibs, nice mix of 1st team and young, really want Andy to be given a chance in the game

Happy to see Coates possibly starting but I'd much rather if Robinson was in green rather than Flanagan.

Be interesting to see Morgan start.

Charlie Adam has his bib on backwards, Can't even dress himself , let alone take a decent corner

Does he? The Warrior symbol is on the front and back

Augmerson · 22-08-2012 09:21PM

Anyone else getting antsy about the fact we haven't signed anyone else?

I know that, But only a lower neck on front
Its shocking and appalling behavior
That's why the Warrior symbol is on front and back,
Then knew Charlie Adam was at club
He'll have to be banned for this

Keen observation. Kudos

As a football fan, who's primary exposure is the Premier League, it is fantastic to see the likes of Kagawa, Hazard and even Sahin, if he joins Arsenal, in playing in England.

As a Liverpool fan, not so much. :mad:

22-08-2012 09:41PM

I can now fully understand the Hazard love. Looks a super player.

mav79 · 22-08-2012 09:47PM

Exactly the type of player Liverpool lack, we don't have a player that comes close to his level unfortunately.

Nope, don't think there's much antsyness around these parts. No sir.

We haven't had a decent winger over a sustained period in a long time. McManaman?

mav79 · 22-08-2012 10:01PM

A midfielder who has the ability to keep the ball at his feet while going past opponents and has the mentality to do so on a regular basis.

Mcmanaman's two goals against Celtic way back, when he went the length of the pitch to score have always stuck with me. Everytime we sign a winger i hope to see this again and always disappointed.

Hoki · 22-08-2012 10:04PM

Hazard is now what i imagined Marc Gonzalez would turn out like

Funny thing McManaman didnt even play his best football as a winger, more of a drifter. His dribbling ability was excellent.

If Morgan starts before Carroll its an absolute disgrace imo. He has to be given a chance.

Carroll is cup tied if he plays though isn't he?

No the qualifying round is separate as far as I know, he wouldn't be cup tied from the group stages. Same as Assaidi can't play for us until the group stages.

I agree someone as talented as McManaman would be great.He was an amazing player. Problem is in the current market a player similiar to his ability would cost a fortune.

Isco from Malaga anyone??

"Brendan Rodgers has accused Newcastle United of taking liberties by attempting to re-sign Andy Carroll on loan and claimed he would have to be "a nutcase" to offload the England international given the current paucity of Liverpool's attack."

Clint in their eye: Liverpool ready to sell duo to pay for Dempsey
Adam and Spearing top the list of players Anfield chiefs are prepared to part with so they can meet Fulham star's valuation

Very speculative that the club can't afford £7.5m.

I don't believe it and just think they want rid of Spearing and Adam as would most on here.

It could be that specifically Dempsey - a player who'll probably leave for nothing - has to be subsidised. Aside from what he'll bring on the pitch he won't bring any value to the squad. Cash flow and all that.

Id like to see morgan given a chance tomorow tbh

He created this transfer furore around Carroll himself with his comments earlier in the Summer so I'm not sure why he's complaining now!

What furore?

I don't see anything wrong with saying that a player is for sale and then telling someone to 'eff off' if they come in with a ridiculous offer!
