I refuse to believe there is a worse captain + vice-captain combo than Kaboul and Adebayor.
Two career half-arsed wasters. One of them shouldn't even be playing top flight football.

We're done even if Sturridge plays every game between January and the end of the season. By the time he's back, the gap will be too wide. We'd need to go on a ridiculous winning run like we did last season, and that just isn't happening with this squad. You'd have to make a right balls-up to let us get close to you.
edit: ffs

I liked the red pixel, looked like it was bleeding, could've added to it.
Woo, new thread - I think I'll subscribe to this one after the #bantergate shenanigans in the last one, even if Snitch has got his name back.
Made history with the university team last week, first ever cup win and against a team above us in our own division no less.

Watch us lose to some dodgy penalty against a shite team next game.
I like Wiilshere better as a deep lying player as opposed to a 10. he doesn't really have the athleticism to be a world class attacking midfield-type (and I think Ozil's passing strengths are better suited to the 10 than Jacky), but he does have the vision and ball control and technical ability to be great in a deeper role; he just really needs to work on his tactical discipline. and, unfortunately, you can never play Jacky/Ramsey/Ozil together because they're just so fucking flimsy and weak. but two of those + a quality DM would be a good midfield.
True but it still doesn't make much sense when a defender and a DM are much more of a priority and we only have 20m to spend in January.
Persona 3 and 4 are two of the best games of their generation, if you have a Vita or a Playstation TV you should definitely get P4 Golden.
we usually spend 0m in January so Cech is better than nothing

How fucking annoying is it that we both need a class DM, Barca have 2 of the fuckers, and play one of them at fucking centreback?
What, I mean I'm all for giving him a go as deep lying midfielder but he certainly doesn't lack the athleticism to be a good number 10. Wilshere plays a dangerous game but it's fantastic, he invites players to come close and constantly opens up his body and beats players with a quick turn of pace (although he does get it wrong sometimes) and open the midfield, this by far is his best attribute. I personally dont want him doing that in defensive midfield role (which he will inevitably do at some point) because he looses the ball there we're fucked.
Fuck knows where to put him though, cus he's not getting the Number 10 role either lol (not over Ozil anyway).

I watched the entire GiantBomb Endurance Run, and feel a bit bad about watching an entire game without giving any money to the devs.

Heh I did the same thing, I ended up picking up both games after watching it. Persona 3 is good because it's pretty much the gameplay mechanics but with a different story and characters, the only major difference is that you can't control all your party members in battle. They missed a bunch of social links out in the endurance run so it's worth playing through to do those and in the Golden version there's a lot of new content as well.
I think whether Rodgers is given any money in Jan will be a big indication of his job security.
The only problem I have with Manquillo is that he doesn't take players on.
I think quite a big part of our attacking problem is that our fullbacks arnt providing attacking width. The both stop, and cross or pull the ball back.
Based on how we should play, we need our fullbacks to run in behind or take on players.

Wasn't Liverpool's net spend this summer "only" about £40m...if that?
There was a lot of talk during the back-end of last season that FSG would go big if Liverpool made the CL. Hasn't really happened yet. I mean yeah, £120m is still a big outlay and the wage bill must have increased quite significantly. But doesn't feel like they've really pushed the boat out.
What is the feeling amongst Liverpool fans about this?

Personally, even with the loss of Suarez, the amount of money we spent was sufficient to create a good enough squad. Maybe not to challenge for the title again, but to finish comfortably 4th or above, sure.
The blame is entirely on the people making those signings, the signings themselves, and the other players who aren't playing half as well as they did for us last year.

That's true.
I suppose the question I really meant to ask is - if in January FSG turn around and say, no more money, or relatively little money, then what? Fair enough?
£120million isnt considered a big outlay?
The_Hitcher89

Not for me
We very clearly need some replacements in January. If they don't trust Rodgers any more, they might as well sack him now.
If we're so far behind in January that we can't finish 4th no matter who we buy, I'll understand if they don't offer up any significant funds, since in our desperation, and with it being January, any club willing to sell to us will bend us over a barrel aside from Lille with Origi. What's the point after all in spending £30m on a merely decent DM in January, only to finish 6th anyway?
If that's the situation we're looking at, by all means write this season off and wait til summer. Our negotiating position if we finish 8th will be absolutely horrible though. Good luck convincing Higuain or someone in that case.

I think if Cech said he wanted to go and the only real possibility was Arsenal, then Mou would let him. Doubt he likes selling to Arsenal, but he will respect Cech's wishes.

I can only imagine Woodwards meeting with the scouts.
"We need more defensive cover, both in the midfield and in the actual defense"
"What about Bale?"
Played Never Alone on a bone m8 lent me (delayed on the PS4 for some reason).....sensational. Odd difficulty spike at the end, but a beautiful, soothing and fascinating experience
Really great exploring a culture I know next to nowt about
Can see why Eurogamer gave this thing a 10. Real example of what gaming can be

GOTY isn't even high praise this year. Hopefully it gets a little % off at Christmas sale or something, will play.

will pick up in a humble bundle
I'm predisposed to enjoying smaller, narrative driven games like this (brothers, Limbo etc) but do recommend (even if in a sale) you do have a gander at it
Prefer it for it's brevity too, not a fan of massive bloated games which pad for the sake of it. Simply haven't the time nor energy
But yeah christmas sale makes sense. Valiant Hearts is another you should play.

Well... Me too. I rarely ever finish +10 hours games.
Have got Valiant Hearts, accidentally redeemed it to a secondary uplay account I had for some reason. So now I got Valiant Hearts, Trials and Child of Light (which refuses to launch....) on a separate uplay account from Far Cry 3 and a few other games.

Bayern sure like their Real Madrid rejects
I honestly don't really know what kind of buys we could be making with the Suarez money outside of what we got.
We had a team that finished second in the PL. Based on that qualification, there would seem to be no pressing need to go out and spend another 50m pounds on big name players. I think Rodgers felt like the team needed some minor reinforcements but that Sturridge would be good enough to lead the line in Suarez's absence.
I feel like spending more than we did would have been reckless at the time, and a poor use of money. Obviously now things look a bit different and we're crying out for improvements in several positions.
Really wish Sanchez had come to Liverpool. Obviously that wouldn't stop Sturridge from being injured, but I just think we'd be so much better off overall.
Think we need a smart buy in January if we want to have any chance of resurrecting this season's CL spot challenge. Okay Reus is impossible, but as Walshy mentioned there is Lacazette, and there are players in the Bundesliga like Firmino and Volland. We need someone up top who can strike fear into the opposition center backs.
You want another Man Utd premface posting team formations? Sure.
I usually post when United are playing but a week between games is too fucking long, so I'll also keep you updated with my university team's antics:
Plucky underdogs, and we still haven't given up on getting promotion - we've lost a couple of games we shouldn't have including a shocking 5-4 defeat after leading 3-1 at half time, reminiscent of Leicester v Man Utd, except we actually managed to score again. Hopefully we can get a good cup run going.
