Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2015/16 (*EVERYONE READ MOD POST in OP)

While Mignolet is getting plenty of (justified) criticism about the goal, it would have been easily avoided if Ings had followed him man and kept goal-side of him but Ings forgot his job on this occasion.

Looking at him afterwards, he was much better in tracking his man when defending, though.

Lesson learned, hopefully.

FSG bankrolled Rodgers with £300M.

I'd say it would be a safe bet if Ancelotti had £300m and three seasons he would have won something.

That stat is a little one sided though isnt it?

That stat doesnt say what other teams in the same period have spent.

For example Arsenal spent 10-15 million this summer?? (Cech and some kid) If they where in the Scottish league they would have spent more than anyone...........

Villa spent more than the whole Dutch league put together...............

Means nothing.

Look at the money spent over the last 4 years

4 years ago the table stood like this (2011-2012 which is the final table just before Rodgers took over)


Since summer 2011:
United have spent £390M (not including falcao loan fee)
City have spent £350M
Chelsea have spent £380M
Liverpool have spent £270M (not including Ings tribunal fee)
Spurs have spent £245M
Arsenal have spent £200M


In 4 years we have been the 4th biggest spenders on a team that was 8th best.

We spent £25M more than Spurs who where 4th (8pts better) and £70M more than Arsenal who where 3rd (9pts better)

So yes we have spent ALMOST £300 million BUT if nobody else spent anything, that would actually be a good point
