I was thinking about 2016-2017 Bayern. Lahm is class but there should be some replacement at one point. Same with Dante, Ribery and Robben. I think Kroos will leave. hojbjerg will succeed him.

Keeping Suarez and Sturridge with Gerrard and Coutinho in the midfield down to one or two goals is no easy task. If they weren't playing Liverpool I could see it, but this is either going to be an upset or a thrashing. There are very few other results with Liverpool this season.
Personally, I think Kroos will stay. He just wants to be valued by the higher-ups (except for Sammer, who already values him) and of course he wants money. He will run through the end of his contract in any case.
On the other hand, I think under Pep Martinez is finished as well. That's why I think Thiago will move back a little further. Furthermore, Shaq will not be able to succeed Ribery. Müller will of course stay and keep playing. We will never get another defender like Lahm, so he will leave a huge hole in the line-up. I really have no idea who could possibly fill it. Maybe that's something Shaq could do? (This is a complete guess, just to find some use for him)
-----Lewa---
(Draxler)---Kroos--Götze---Müller
---Thiago---
Alaba--- (Badstuber) --- Boateng --- (Shaq?)
---Neuer
Shaq on Lahms position is almost Van Gaal-esque. I can kinda see it. But I think he would rather leave than playing defender. Shaq seems like a Liverpool kind of player. I can see him going there. You really think Martinez is done? Damn. Or maybe he will find his role as a CB in the end. Replacing Dante.
Good scholar at uni specialises in that kind of blarney

Bricking it
Genuinely feels like a match where if we win, we'll finish fourth, if we don't, we won't. I know that's stupid since we could lose and still be ahead of the pack, but we need more room for error and momentum. Would make a fine day for some SAS magic.
Flashbacks of going to the Hawthorns last season too. Eugh.

An easy 0-3.
I'm not totally concerned, West Brom had Lukaku last season. Now who do they have?
The matchs that are "we win, we're top 4", aren't this one. Those are the games at Stoke were we've historically always played badly. We've got better players than West Brom and are on better form. We just need to play our football and the score should take care of itself.

Apparently Dnipro said the reason they didn't sell Konoplyanka to Liverpool is because they didn't receive the money before the deadline.
"It's not our fault, representatives of Liverpool could arrive a day or two earlier"

Nonsense, surely. The signatures are what matters, not the bank transfer. Once the congtract was signed,we'd have been legally bound to make sure they got their money, pre or post 11pm
They had Lukaku then, now they have Anichbe.
We had Jonjo Shelvey then, now with have Coutinho.
I'm not saying we just have to show up to win, but they're in the relegation zone for a reason. This isn't a Stoke or a top half team. We shouldn't take games for granted, but anything other than three points here will ultimately be disappointing.

I don't know how it works. To me this makes more sense than their president refusing to sell, as they mention the clause in his contract there and say he couldn't keep the player.

I imagine they delayed the actual signing as they were retiscent to losing him mid-season, and are using this as a 'it couldn't be done before the deadline lol' reason, rather than just saying that they wasted a lot of our time and fucked up our chances of getting someone else in. Unless we've got an agreement in place to sign him in the summer, Dnipro can fuck off.
I just have that feeling that Martinez is not up to the task of a sole "number 6" in Pep's system. If they kept two of them like last year, then he and Schweini would still be my preferred choice. By far.
In fact, I felt much more secure with the two of them. Still, if the position is reduced a single player no-one at Bayern is better suited for it than Lahm. Imo, of course.
We are coming hoam!
It's about time!
I feel very nervous. It would be typical Liverpool moment to follow up a 4-0 victory with a 3-0 loss.

Oh shit, didn't realise we had them next week. I was happy about Spurs playing Everton as well
Man Utd's game is a writeoff there as well, home to Fulham. I assume Arsenal will beat us without Lucas tbh.
Still, one game at a time and all that

Totti-Parma, Arsenal-Palace, Juve-Some piece of shit.
Pumped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah because all our guns are firing.... What's the odds on us getting Pulis in our game? If we don't get 3 points from palace I will be fuming.Oh shit, didn't realise we had them next week. I was happy about Spurs playing Everton as well

Don't get me wrong, it's not a foregone conclusion thay we lose that game. Arsenal are missing some important players, and I doubt we'll set up like we did last time, which is probably about 80% of the reason the away fixture went the way it did.
I'd just much rather have that 4 point cushion going into that game.

LET'S DO THIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
It is hard to argue with that scorline.
Hopefully Totti is rested.
2-0 scorelines will do nicely in all three games.
Arsenal take top spot for the day, Parma move into the European places, and Juve extend the lead at the top.
Teams were different back then though. You had Downing. They had Lukaku.
Ahaha.
All I know is there's a banging takeaway (contains the word Lagoon) opposite a roundabout that does a top chips and gravy.
And if you're going out go Rosie's rather than Cruise.
Woke up feeling like shit, had to cancel some plans which subsequently made me feel worse.
Please, Liverpool, do it for my mental well being.

Wait, its Juve vs Inter today? Oh my.
I keep seeing people say we won't go back for Konoplyanka in the summer. Whilst I agree in principle we might not want to deal with Dnipro again, abandoning the deal altogether makes little sense.
1. He was a summer target originally anyway.
2. He will be cheaper in the summer, as he'll be on his last year.
3. We've just sent a delegation to the Ukraine, why not try and agree a deal in principle for the summer so we can get him in as soon as the window opens?
There might be more competition for him then, but tough shit. That's what happens when you want to be one of the big boys in football.

Was going to buy Knack off US PSN today but I think I might wait and see if it comes to PS+. Would cost me around £24 anyway.

Manu Bennett is now my personal favourite to play solid snake/big boss in any MGS film. He looked perfect for the role.
