    What happened to Man Utds golden boy? Is he in the match day squad much? I don't watch them so don't really know what's happened to him.

    I presume you're talking about Januzaj. Van Gaal hasn't played with wingers bar a few games (which Januzaj started) and the competition is too much for him in the other positions.

    Talk that he'll go out on loan in January.

    The rodgers looks sick of answering questions about the keeper etc. Also seems envious of Arsenals ability to sign Sancez etc.

    He should realise answering questions about it will be his managerial duty as long as he persists with his stupid decision.

    Score 2 against Sunderland then disappeared. Laughable that he was considered better than sterling by united fans at one stage. Sterling at 19 almost won us a premier league title.

    I thought this was very funny :D

    Madrid take players and make them better players, such as Bale and Rodrigeuz. Sterling will be no different.

    And they have a manager who has some idea about buying players and using them correctly as well.

    4-1 Ojo no doubt paying for his smooth criminal PR yesterday nearly had a 'mare with open goal and peno misses but scored the forth, following Canos and two from Wilson
    Ibe Starts for Derby 12.15 KO

    I dipped into this one, you can see why Derby supporters are as frustrated as they are delighted with Ibe - too often he gets the ball in a dangerous area and then proceeds to overplay his hand. He needs to make the decision how to use the ball before he gets there rather than hoping some trickery will do the job.

    Klopp under more pressure Dortmund losing again and in the bottom 3.

    Forget Delph there is only one Villa player we should be after.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,059 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    Cissokho?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,489 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    Joe Cole?


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


    Cissokho?
    Joe Cole?

    Ron Vlaar of course a leader in defence ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,351 ✭✭✭✭Francie Barrett


    I am pretty sure we could make Vlaar look like sh1te.


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

    I don't think many defenders will want to come to Liverpool anymore because they do end up looking sh1t unless they start sorting out the defence soon.

    Benteke, sturridge, and origi would make a nice front 3


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,351 ✭✭✭✭Francie Barrett


    Downing and Carroll score for West Ham :pac:

    They would if you could keep the first 2 fit.

    Benteke was the player I meant when I said there should be only one villa player the club should go after.

    Keeping him an Sturridge fit would keep the club doctors busy though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,304 ✭✭✭shamrock55


    Downing just scored again:eek: bring him back:D

    It would be risky alright, would 20m prise him away from villa i wonder?

    He's a crock I know but can you tell me again what Big Andy did that made him not feasible to Rodgers? Within the context of signing an ageing Lambert and Balotelli.

    I'd say it would but I just don't see the club going for him.

    Maybe if they sell Borini. I just have a feeling Borini will go out on loan and not be sold.

    If Carroll had stayed Sturridge would not have been signed its fair to say. Hard to imagine Suarez and Carroll ever working as a pair.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭Soft Falling Rain

    I thought they worked pretty well tbf at first. Injury disrupted that. What I'm saying is that I don't understand giving Carroll the bullet because he didn't suit Rodgers' style yet signing the likes of Balotelli and Lambert who are the antithesis of his so called philosophy.

    Getting rid of Carroll was an egotistical thing, simple as.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,351 ✭✭✭✭Francie Barrett


    Charlie Austin got himself a hat trick today, am sure he's the next flash in the pan player we'll be linked with.


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


    If Rodgers is to lose him job in the coming months it's not the buying and selling or even the blacklisting of players that will have cost him I believe.

    It will be his lack of defensive coaching skills that will cost him in the long or short term.

    I would love him to see bite the bullet and hire a defensive coach he doesn't even have to say anything other than I have added to my coaching staff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,351 ✭✭✭✭Francie Barrett


    So West Ham, Southampton, Spurs and Swansea all won today. Not good.

    While the defensive stuff is obviously huge, imo it'll be his transfers that spell the end for him.

    He has spent nearly a quarter of a billion pound. Only 12m of it is a definite success, the rest is either very arguable (Coutinho) or been outright wasted (nearly everyone else). It's just incredible how poor we've been in the transfer market.
