    Liverpool are like the grim reaper for under-performing managers.

    Jokanovic, AVB, Roberto Martinez, Bilic, Guidolin, Mourinho

    Cheers,
    Yes, I'm working in London so flying him over and planning to take him. I'm not a pool fan but he's a fanatic (Mothers influence, that and I would not subject him to supporting my chosen team!!!!)

    I would prefer the away end as I'd like to see him express himself!!! Cheers for the reply.

    AA.

    Salah couldn't be more obvious. Christ, they need to sort out that Egyptian FA stuff asap.

    However, it's a luxury and should be taxed heavily. At least 10% imo. They get away with tiny tax tbh.

    Who gets away with tiny tax?
    The bookies have over a 10% gross margin so anyone having a bet is essentially 10% down before the event starts.

    Liverpool are going to bid £85M for Dembele in January according to the daily mail. This is the kind of thing they leak to the press before they sell one of our better players to Spain.

    Klopp will not and is not interested in buying Dembele.....he knows the lad is trouble. I can quote someone in Dortmund who was close to Klopp during his time there....."Dembele might be a good player, however Klopp doesnt need that kind of cancer in his squad. Dont forget Klopp is still best good friends with Watzke and Zorc in Dortmund and has the full insight into what went on in Dortmund and he knows how Dembele left the house he was renting during his time in Dortmund."

    Dembele was a kid at Dortmund. Barca would be keeping a tight reign on him as well and he would have matured a bit by now.

    He didn't show up for training recently with no explanation. I don't think he's changed that much in a year!

    Lots of reports he is showing up late to training & team meetings.

    Left out of the squad last week to.

    Quotes from Pique
    Pique has since stated that being dropped from the matchday team will hopefully get the message across to Dembele that he needs to be more disciplined.

    "We were also young and we have also committed mistakes," the Spaniard said, according to Reuters.

    "From experience, we have to help him to understand that football is a 24-hour job and he has to live accordingly.

    "I'm convinced that he's going to improve in this respect and that decisions like the one the coach took will help him."

    I think half the people who want him don't actually see his performances for Barca.
    He has had some good moments but mostly been very poor & his decision making is shocking losses the ball so often.

    Dembele is a kid who got elevated beyond his level by a desperate Barcelona. In a few years under the right conditions he should be a good reliable player.

    The problem is not the player alone....but the people who are around him. He hasnt changed nor will he because he believes he is above everything and everyone.

    Is Dembele just another version of Balotelli? A potentially brilliant footballer, with a serious attitude problem?

    No Klopp tried to sign Shaqiri a few times and failed. Tried to get him twice when he was in Dortmund and tried twice when he was at Stoke.

    Shaqiri cost us 12m.

    Dembele cost Barca about 140m. Barca would want 80m for him. I wouldn't be paying anywhere near that for him.
    Dortmund sold Dembele for 140m & got Alcacer on loan with a 30m option a year later. Has to be one the best deals in the last few years.

    We're going to continually be linked with their players though because they are still paying us for Phil Coutinho in installments. If they can offset what they owe us with players it helps them and if we're actually interested in someone we could use that as leverage....but I feel it's just a way of lazily linking us to players.

    If their number 9 wants a move back to the PL however....

    He is out of contract in 2020 so next summer would be "relatively" cheap, probably get him for 40-50 million. That said I'd prefer to give Harry Wilson a chance :) and spend money on a good backup stopper and more full backs (Moreno and Clyne will go).

    Harry Wilson who is in and out of the team at Derby and only highlights have been free kicks,
    He will be 22 by the start of next season , He will never play an official game for Liverpool ,
    T
    his is Liverpool 2018 look at the match days squads with Ox still to come back, not under Roy Hodgson , people like Wilson aren't getting near our match day squads I'm afraid,

    Midfeild / wide options are Milner, Ox, Hendo, Lallana, Fab, Keita, Mane , Shaq , Salah,Wini , where in the world is Wilson getting a look in ?

    I reckon we'll find it very hard to get in a good keeper when/if Mig goes. The club broke the world record for Alisson. I doubt the club will spend more than €10m on another keeper. Who is under 34/35 and in their right mind would sign for us knowing their gonna be second choice. Alisson would need to have a very poor run of 10/12 games for anyone decent to be willing to come in and challenge him.
    Chelsea and United would be in the same boat.

    Will both be gone next summer along with Mig, Moreno, Sturridge. Fab is a flop according to you so he may also be gone :)

    I'd love to see Kelleher given a shot as backup. It would definitely be difficult to persuade any keeper at the level we require to come join us and sit on the bench in the hope Alisson has a few bad games.

    I'd take Heaton from Burnley at 32 can still do a decent job if and when called on from the bench and won't get in the way of the development of Kelleher & Grabara.

    Shouldn't have replaced Pepe to begin with.

    I'm not really convinced of the reasons that surrounded his departure but I remember being fairly disappointed that Mignolet was his replacement.

    He was replaced because he was repeatedly making mistakes that cost us points. The same thing people wanted Mignolet and Karius replaced for.

    I also doubt ‘The Rodgers’ was a fan of his clown persona in the dressing room.

    Good ol Mike Hooper in the late 80's!

    But this is a good point. The last few seasons saw a number of teams trying to do a rotation on having two keepers who are supposed to be equal.

    I blame Barcelona for starting this with having Ter Stegen as their Europe and cup keeper and having Bravo as their league keeper.

    Keepers generally do not suffer long term injury in a season and is a position that they should not suffer fatigue from like the outfield players.

    Allison should start every league and European game for us. The reserve keeper just needs to be competent enough to be able to cover should Allison get injured for a few games.

    Never been a fan of rotating keepers, do goalkeepers ever even get fatigue-based injuries? Not like they're gonna pull a hamstring from playing too many games.

    He hasn't really pushed on since his first season, unfortunately. Injury set him back and I'm just not comfortable with him when he plays.

    Just not quite aggressive or decisive enough where it matters. I'd have preferred if we kept Klavan, but he was itching for more game time apparently.

    Another PL club signing one of our players is a minimum 20m though, you'd think.

    Reina is a far superior goalie compared to those two, yes he made mistakes but don't they all.
    The difference is how they react and just get on with rather than dwell. The other two seemed broken and couldn't cope with the large expectation that goes with playing for such a big club.

    Rotating keepers is a stupid idea, they would have their backs to the play 50% of the time.
