There is genuinely not a chance we will be going for Thomas Schaaf. Here's what we do.
Either:
a) we sack Moyes at the end of the season and throw a lot of money Klopp's way. He turns us down, and we're forced to make Giggs our manager.
or
b) when Pep gets bored of Bayern like he did Barca he'll come to us for a real challenge

Because it's more fun to call him Michelle. And it's like going from Wilbury to wilbur.
If he could have just stayed healthy for any decent amount of time, I think he could have been a very good player for us. It's clear though that at this point he's been written off. I would be surprised if he wasn't sold in the summer.
Isco really did make a very clear mistake in not following Pellegrini but it is what it is. Nasri has had quite a renaissance and that obviously wouldn't have happened if Isco had come, so there is a silver lining. Hope he can play again soon.

c) Nothing will change and we'll turn into Liverpool 2.0....
Liverpool 3.0 are amazing, killer just accept it and move on

He's too shitty to bother.
I don't follow the lockerroom and contract stuff as closely as you guys but why did City loan out Barry? Granted I haven't seen a lot of Everton matches but I never think "wow he's fucking putrid" when I've seen him, unlike Rodwell, Garcia, and Demishitty.
You were serious here?

We're sexy, rather than amazing
Still only 4 points (essentially) ahead of 5th
Fucking Newcastle, feels like they're falling apart at the seams just in time for Spurs
old/slow/not a glamorous enough name/high wages
I don't know. He's been superb at Everton, but he was always going to sit on the bench at City. Think he wanted out to be honest.
5 seasons of no CL. Wilbur pls.

Not sure actually.
They wanted his wages off the bill, but Pellegrini surely had an idea that he didn't fancy Garcia or Rodwell at that stage. He'd be a distant second to Fernandinho, but he shits all over the other 2 and Demechellis
4 innit? 10/11, 11/12, 12/13, 13/14
Still far too much, but considering what happened with City around that time, someone had to drop out. It's worse they went down to 7th instead of just dropping to 5th.
He won't stop, all these shitty crosses is because of luck.
Somehow, in the future every cross will be a goal.
82 GOALS.

The worst thing is, after 08/09, I made us favourites for the league in 09/10. Then we lost Alonso, replaced him with a man made out of twiglets with a broken immune system, and everything went wrong
Taken a fucking long time to start seeing the green shoots of recovery

Still confuses me, considering five years later Alonso is still brilliant, why Benitez wanted him out.
We hope to make it difficult for Fulham tomorrow evening.
Because he's a muppet.

He was disappointing in 06/07 and 07/08 (few injuries, granted), and he and Rafa had a massive argument when Alonso missed the second leg against Inter at the San Siro to attend the birth of his son. Rafa's expectations of his player's priorites seem to be all kinds of fucked up and influenced by his own obsession with work, and ultimately it cost him his relationship with Xabi, who was basically one of our captains. Arsenal could have had him for £14m in summer 2008 but wouldn't go over 12, then Alonso had an incredible, incredible season in 08/09, but had already made the decision to leave.
I hope Rafa tried convincing him to stay, but I can well see him being too stubborn to even pretend that he thought he was in the wrong. We had such a good midfield back then

Southampton and West Brom will let you down. Chelsea are ruthless atm
I think it was because he's older and essentially at or past his peak. The team surely hoped Rodwell would be healthy this year and would continue to improve on his performances when he was healthy last year. He can operate in a role that is similar to Fernandinho -- truly box to box. Javi Garcia was pretty awful to start the season and mostly average last year so he was kind of "unmovable" as he surely got a pay raise when moving from Benfica. I think most fans would have absolutely preferred we keep Barry and loan out Garcia but it probably just wasn't feasible.
He's been fantastic for them which is nice to see.
Chelsea are going to win. sorry baby
Imagine that midfield in it's prime behind our current attack.I hope Rafa tried convincing him to stay, but I can well see him being too stubborn to even pretend that he thought he was in the wrong. We had such a good midfield back then
Mascherano - Alonso
Gerrard
Sterling - Sturridge - Suarez
Orgasmic.
May brother said the same thing about City vs Norwich and I had that as a draw. Playing safe is no fun.

14/15 when you win the CL and take our spot.
:lol
No chance whatsoever that Hodgson plays a midfield without having an auxillary CM basically sit next to Gerrard. No chance that Rooney isn't the spearhead either, even though I don't think he threatens enough when he does it for England (albeit with a decent scoring record)
I wouldn't bet on us right now. We are awful.

replace welbeck with sterling
replace walker with flanagan
I wouldn't be suprised :'(
I think only City are still able to take the full 6 points from them this season.
WBA were dicked over at the Bridge and should have won. Still expecting a Chelsea win though.
I'd put Shaw on the right. Yes, that's how bad I think English right backs are at the moment.

If you want the glory, accept the hunters. And why did you start supporting Bayern?
Well we play better away, but even so it all depends on if Vlaar plays or not. I'm not sure if he's fit again.
Clyne > shaw
Because my dad raised me to become a bayern fan. Supporting them since a long time. When Dortmund was a two times champion in the 90s.
I like Clyne, but he has only played 90 minutes in 11 games this season. 45+ minutes in 3 games and less than 45 minutes in 2.
Wilbury, all Manchester United needs is a good coach
Valencia, Barcelona, Atlético Madrid are already there
just embrace the argentine superiority.
While they could still fail to qualify for CL, I think is fair to say Liverpool are playing some nice football. For me, that's enough to feel good about my team
The win against Arsenal surely was a huge boost of confidence, but I don't think anyone should see it as a way to measure the superiority or the level of Liverpool. They would be kidding themselves.

Clyne/Chambers/Flannagan? (Big andre lol)
Shaw on the right? Lordy lordy no.
Call me insane, but I'd rather play a right back at right back.
And you say they lack the play time...so you would pick a player who has 0 mins in that position.
Interesting
"My family has a long-standing history of glory hunting" is an improvement over those who recently jumped on?
Flanagan still makes rookie mistakes. Chambers and Clyne haven't played enough and lack the experience (imo).
