The Lovren signing was much worse. Balotelli was signed a backup to Sturridge, they took a punt but it only looks so bad because Sturridge was injured.
Lovren was signed as the lynchpin of their defense and cost £20m.

Duncan Castles (I know, no one likes him including me) is pretty adamant that John Henry really doesn't like Rodgers and has had to be talked out of firing him on two occasions already.

Balotelli's failure was easily predictable though. Lovren is like Soldado, there is no real reason that transfer should have failed so badly. I mean, you could see Lovren struggling, but he literally gives away a goalscoring opportunity every time he plays
Has anyone ever told in he looks like Michael Jackson?

If he did the Sturridge dance he'd have ended up in an orgy with the lot of them
Anyone who was aware of Lovren when he was at Lyon knew he was going to flop, he was never a particularly good defender. Sometimes shit players have a good season, like he did at Southampton but he still got rinsed plenty of times.
With the pressure of a club like Liverpool and a manager who can't organise a 4 man defence, his drop in form isn't that surprising. He just went back to his Lyon form.

Wish we'd stop giving away stupid set pieces
Think we've conceded 3 in 9 games, 2 penalties and 1 header from a silly free kick

You know what makes Messi even higher than being the GOAT he would have been anyway?
He never used his fucking initials as a brand name.

I very much doubt Klopp will leave if he saves us from relegation.
I mean, look at us now. You'd actually have to fire Klopp right now. 4 weeks of training and basically nothing has improved. Maybe give him the match against Freiburg but without a win there, he should be done. But that won't happen. Because everyone thinks that Klopp is the perfect coach for this club. Everyone believes that Klopp can rebuild the squad. There would be no point in sticking with him now if he'd be gone in summer, anyway.

I think this will be the first FF mainline game since I started gaming that I skip on day 1. I'm still furious about how Nomura's been treated.
FF XV. It's like Square Enix doesn't care anymore.
Day One
I'll play it only when its in the bargain bin and cheap.
FFXIV made me believe there is still some hope in that company yet. Fantastic game.

Even though Nomura delivered some good FFs back in the days his recent output has been rather lackluster. I'm surprised that the officials at Square Enix had the balls to took hi off the project. Maybe... it was the right move.
But it's probably impossible to save XV after everything that happened. Let's not forget that it started as Versus XIII for the PS3 :lol
Yup. A very solid game. The only MMO I have played other than WoW, some of the music is God tier too.

It's scary how it's just the same people posting back then and now. Sure, we've got newcomers like weddy and the stooges, but shit. We really are insular ;_;

the last good FF were FF9 and 10
As has been said, ring them.
I like to think we're fairly inclusive, even though there are a fair few in-jokes.
The only problem I ever have with newcomers to this thread is when their first (and often only) post is to shit on a club they don't like or laugh at misfortune.

wtf
is Wooden using the same avatar he used in 2012?
Someone avatar-quoted him, and its the same
@EuropeOG, ring HSBC. The last thing they want is you switching to a different bank because of an error

oh you sweet summer child
It's not that I don't like him - I don't know him - but I do know he's got a history of writing consistently fictional nonsense.
Why would Henry not rate Rodgers? He's completely rebuilt our style of play, mentality and youth setup.

So, we've got at the hospital:
Modric
Pepe
Ramos
James
Are you starting to get the clue that you should maybe rotate our players a bit more, Carlo?
Who is your 4th choice CB with Ramos and Pepe out?

Nacho, he's a wonderful little squad player.
Predicting the lineup vs Atletico
Carvajal - Varane - Nacho - Coentrao
----Kroos - Lucas Silva - Isco
---------Bale - Benz - CR7
Kroos will finally be free to step back into a CAM role with Silva on board.

Rangers have been told they have to play those 5 Newcastle players? :lol
Thank goodness a moron like Ashley isn't involved in my club. I'd rather play in division 2 than have him involved.

Ah, squad players.
Can I interest you in these 2 fine specimens.
94% pass accuracy, average pass length 8 yards. Only 23 years old.
He's big, he's strong, he's quick.
Spends longer on the ball than any leftback in Europe's top 7 leagues
