Starting to agree tbh. Infuriating, as when Johnson turns it on, he's boss. The defense is shaky enough already though without having a rightback who's performances seemingly depend on the roll of a dice more than anything.

Lippi in his retirement home > Allegri/Sherwood/Moyes
I'd take Lippi over anyone. Over Conte, Mou, a 25 y/o Ferguson, Shankly, Sir Trap or even Tim Sherwood.
We were so good in Europe! ;*(
We need a bit more cover in the middle of the park for sure, I'd just be surprised at us going for a DM. Rodgers hasn't bought or hinted at buying one in his time here yet and he's trying to convert our only recognised DM into a box-to-box midfielder!
Lucas' tackle in that Norwich game was so badly mistimed it made me laugh, he provides excellent cover anyway.
Sakho has looked shaky you're right, but I'm sure he'll grow out of it in time, he's still only 24 and just needs to get used to the back line. We've played so many combinations at the back this year due to injuries, it's hard for anyone to get a solid run in the side except for Mignolet.
Rodgers did hint after the Fulham game I think, that these mistakes the defence makes aren't something he can coach out. So we could buy another CB, but I don't want to replace 3/4 of the back line in one transfer window.
The newest episode was soooooo good. This show, MAN. THIS SHOW.

If Moyes joins Spurs, that'll be an easy 6 points in the derbies.

How many points did you get from him this season?
I want Johnson to get another year, I think we'll need the depth in fullback positions. He and Flanagan can play left or right and both are pretty fucking special when on top form.
Johnson's biggest problems have always been mental, rather than physical. That improves with age and experience.
Fucking hell winning this title is so important for the development of our squad moving forwards. If we don't do it it'll destroy us.

but that's because we have some kind of mental block when we play UnitedI'm sure some will disagree, but I think a RB is a much more pressing matter than a LB this summer. I could live with a year of Flanagan and Enrique (maybe even Robinson for cup games if he can sort his shit out), but at RB, we have Johnson who I think needs to go, Kelly who will be going, McLaughlin who is far too inexperienced to be first choice, and Wisdom who half of us still think is a CB.
If we can get a LB too, then great, but RB has to be the priority IMO.

Julian Speroni from Palace might be a good shout for a back-up keeper, he's out of contract in the summer.
What RB is available? Doesn't seem to be too many out there.
McLaughlin needs a loan, I agree with you. Robinson won't make it here.

Coxy on who Liverpool should be looking at.

It will be. I guess Wenger would have to find points elsewhere.

That home game was dumbfounding. Man Utd were there for the taking, and you played like a team that was 2-0 up from the first leg in a CL match
The shots on target is wrong. You had four.
Jupp'd
UEFA are actually saying 11 attempts on target. do they even watch the games?

ugh dont want that, persnally though we have several great players atm if one left it wouldnt destory us, i think the worst 2 players to loose would be either Sturridge or Coutinho. Suarez will leave at some point and iirc theres a player in italy we could get who players like Suarez, cant remember his name.
Found him
Luis Muriel

I think some places count blocked shots as shots on target. That doesn;t account for 13-11-4, but still
If you fuck this up, Hitch..... IF YOU FUCK THIS UP
nah, I'm just against what Pep is doing. Basically I'm doing the same as in the 10/11 season when LvG was ruining our team with his idiotic ideas
I just hope this ends soon enough
Lippo FTW. Good luck tonight.
Levy can't be naive twice in a row with poor manager choices. Even though to be fair I would not be surprised if Moyes ended up doing very well with another league team.
C'mon bro, Lippi over Sherwood? How about Jorge Jesus
No chance Hitcher. You'll need to lose two out of three games for that to happen. With all the emotions in the Liverpool team at the moment, they are ready to blow the last three games away.

Being out of the CL is shit innit
I can live with a slightly disappointing campaign next year in the trail of such a good one this year (even if we don't win the league, we've far exceeded our pre-season aims)
That implosion, and numerous failed attempts to reclaim that top 4 place though...
Can't let that happen again.
You know I like you. I really do you. I respect you.
So please dont be offended. But will you keep this attitude for the upcoming seasons?

You'd take him over Paisley?
3 European Cups in 9 years + plus Joe Fagan won another one and got to a final with his team as well.

This is in no way knocking Paisley, but I do find it interesting how teams managed to go on runs of 2/3/5 consecutive European Cup wins around that era. Not a chance that would happen now with any team or any manager and I'm not sure whether that's an indictment on the quality of football around then, the lack of competition or other factors?

Yep, very. Arguably better than Shaw going forward (dribbling, shooting, etc). He is much smaller, but still asserts himself fairly well defensively. Apparently Real Madrid want him though.
In any case, he'll be playing tonight in the Europa League semi 1st leg.
Aye. It just makes me see something like Madrid's 5 in a row and think 'so what?' Almost on par with Celtic winning the Scottish league 5 times in a row now.
Moyes should be in charge at a less demanding club. He'll fuck things up for himself if he went to work for Levy. He's hell bent on finishing fourth even though we shouldn't be contemplating such a thing. This will screw Moyes over. He'll probably go through his Man Utd debacle all over again, only this time he'll be out of a job sooner.
We'll look fucking daft for hiring him.
Levy will look fucking daft for getting him.
Moyes will look EVEN more fucking stupid if (and when) he buggers it up again.
Moyes should just take time out. But if he ends up at Spurs, wouldn't surprise me at all.
hate to see Blayern and Fady like this, two of my favourite fighting over the interwebz. And their rift is not even as funny as pulg v FF.
Love me some sikaffy.png, we'll take him!
WELL his first name is BOB, so yeah!
he's ur manager u noobface
I dont think that anyone else would like to have him

Catalan newspaper Sport asked their readers if Fabregas should be sold and 80% of 16,619 said yes.
That was followed by Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo being more direct and asking 'Would you sell Cesc Fabregas to Manchester United for 30m?' and again 80%, this time of 6807 voters so far, said 'Yes!'.
Only Ed Woodward could screw this up.
Oh.
Ohhhhhhh...

Lamela is basically a less damaging, more promising version of Aquilani
