Borriello gives Conte sexual favours. That's the only explanation left.

Rafa would be my number 1 choice
Villas-Boas as long as he was given free reign in transfers in, and more importantly, out
Conte maybe?
Enquire after Klopp under the assumption that he'd decline
I'd say Rodgers if we had more players to fit his philosophy

RIP, sad news.
What's the situation with the NY Cosmos? Are they still on track to reform as a team in the MLS? NYC shirt is my favourite out of the ones I own (that or Peru!). It's lovely.
Not sure about that. I don't think many people expected the signings to be as poor as they have been, but at the same time I think everybody (at least everybody outside of LFC) was underwhelmed by the summer recruits. The policy was clear but it had it's doubters.
I really don't think Liverpool can attract the likes of Hazard or Soldado to the club this summer. Soldado...maybe...but even him I'm not sure about, Valencia will have CL football and if he is for sale then you'd expect other clubs to be in for him too. I guess it's possible if FSG are prepared to spend big big money, not just on transfer fees but on wages.

Borriello is showing some excellent movement.
I really like Vucinic in this role. He's playing it well this evening.

To Liverpool fans maybe. I seem to recall much mockery. It's been 'I told you so' ever since.

Henderson was the only British signing I was slightly excited by. You could tell that DOwning, Carroll and Adam weren;t going to be world-beaters, don't thik anyone expected them to be as poor as they have been though. Well, I expected Adam to be poor, but the other 3 I expected more of. Especially Downing, who I at least rated before he joined

Not all Liverpool fans were impressed with the signings in the summer. They never impressed me when I watched them play especially Adam, so I was really bummed out when we signed him. Could have spent that 9 million on a better midfielder.

Vucinic is just spending too much time on the ball. Other than that, he's doing well.
As for Borriello, this ref, and fair play to him, is letting the game run. Borriello has obviously been told to try and draw fouls in and around the box.
Edit: again, vucinic, way too much time on the ball. Needs to dump it off faster. It slows down our attack and we have people like Maggio sneaking from behind and stripping him from the ball.

Borriello can only be Conte's attempt at an April Fool's joke.

So what do most people in here who watch EPL watch when those games aren't on? Serie A or La Liga?
A joke is supposed to be funny
Generally agree. Its worth remembering Carroll was on fire when he was bought. We all laughed at the price tag but there was an assumption he was a good player albeit overpriced. Downing had had a particularly good year with Villa and Adam had impressed at Blackpool.
Suarez & Bellamy are self evidently good signings imho.
Its amazing though how the Liverpool team is less than the sum of its parts and the form some of the the signings has just nosed dived in form. I find it genuinely baffling.
I do hope however they give up on the league and focus on the cups. We could use the points

A League.
Newcastle v Chelsea will be the decider for 5th spot I think. Newcastle are gonna be fired up beyond belief now that we're 7 games away from finalising whether or not we're in Europe. Finishing 5th would be that extra special icing.
Not sure when the game is though. :lol It's been pushed back to whenever.
We have Swansea, Bolton, Wigan, Stoke, Man City and Everton left to play along with Chelsea.

La Liga or occasionally Serie A.
Since I watch at least 3 PL games every weekend...I find it tough to find time to watch other leagues. I'll be too busy with the fallout from the PL games...or just other stuff in life :lol
Rumours that United are very interested in Strootman. Apparently been watched by our scouts 12 times this season. God let that be true. Please.
Depends on the teams.
We tend to avoid most Serie A matches =P

Aronica really is an ugly defender, both physically and his playing style. Lacking in both vision and technique.

Fuck, our midfield trio are amazing players. De Ceglie is having a wonderful game as well.
We definitely need some shaking up of our front. I think we should just put on Del Piero and watch the magic.

Contract obligation to our other sponsor

And it´s done. Matias is so fucking awesome. Not the best of games, the players were all thinking on the trip to Ukraine.

holy shit vidal lol
Watch the Bundesliga. As you can see, we need more viewers.
It cannot be that bad if you guys are disputing the title lol
At the time though, we hadn't got rid of Meireles and Aquilani, so it was felt that Adam would be a squad player, with Henderson as understudy to Gerrard and given time to develop. That's what I mean by solid. No-one was particularly excited about the signings, apart from Henderson, but it looked like they'd add to what was already a good midfield.
We all knew we overpaid for Downing, but he had a decent season at Villa the year before, and he was the most prolific crosser of the ball in the league, with one of the highest accuracies. On paper it made perfect sense, with Carroll being so good in the air.
Plus our options were limited by no European football.
It is, when he keeps faith in useless players and we drop points left and right.
Our top scorer is on the bench.

Ah good point, forgot about the timing of those. If at the time you'd known those two were going, would you have been more apprehensive about the signings?
