Ashley Young is basically like a new signing.

I really enjoyed it, had me glued from the beginning to end. Fincher is good, really good.
Just a bit pedestrian for me. Good fun, looked great, but from a guy who has legit made four masterpieces in my eyes it was nothing special.

We don't need Ozil if we're not going to use him as an AM and link him up with a forward that is faster than Giroud. It doesn't matter anyway, as long as we have players that can potentially be great we'll be fine. Chambers will keep us alive.

Theory: Mignolet was fine against Sunderland and Basle, but has been dropped 'indefinitely.' That means Rodgers has decided to get a new keeper in January, and is playing Jones for the last few games of the year to decide whether Jones is good enough to be our second choice. Essentially, he's done it to decide whether we should get rid of both of them, or just Mignolet.

I repeat. Carlos Vela is so fucking good.

Same as the 1st, anticipating the shot and over committing instead of trusting his reflexes. Not really surprising if he's low on confidence after being 2nd choice to Mignolet in all fairness.

Fuck knows
You could see that Van Persie started off aiming for the corner, then noticed that Jones was stood on his heels and had given up on it, so decided to just make sure he got it on target.
Who do you want? Reina? Ochoa?? Cech??
I didn't see enough Southampton last year to have an opinion, so I have a question. Was Lovren genuinely good for Southampton? Or carried by a good defense/coaching? Is he doing badly now as a result of a bad overall defense/coaching? Did he display hints of the faults that were to come at Liverpool while at Southampton?
I'm just a bit baffled that a player who by all initial accounts was considered a good signing, if a bit overpriced at 20 million pounds, could turn out to be so terrible.

Can we switch Mexicans, Suciedad?
Pls?

Reverse order and you've got it. No chance Cech moves to us though, and I question Ochoa if he can't get in Malaga's team, and nobody tried signing him after the World Cup
Reina's not even worth talking about, not happening in a million years.
Let's fly to Korea Bla. You and me. I can't keep on having sex with non-gorgeous girls, that's not the Juventus way.

This is our first defeat at home since May 2013...
;_;

I maintain (possibly erroneously) that Fonte kept him in check and that Dejan has been 'found out' at Liverpool, so to speak! ;-)
Poch is a better defensive coach than Rodgers I think, so that helps.
Lovren suffers from a lack of focus, which isn't helpful when Liverpool usually have the lion's share of possession and away teams resort to countering with pace.
He's rash and too eager to get to balls, which means he invades space that his team mates already occupy. I can't say I watched Saints a huge amount last season, but I did think Liverpool were essentially spending money on a Koscielny like player, except... not as good.

Much better DM in front of him, more organised unit around him, more dominant keeper behind him. And he was playing much better on an individual level.
Really though, most of his errors haven't been systematic. He's just fucking up left right and centre. Don't think he'll get much better either.
Just like Pique, innit. Good when Puyol was looking after him. Shite when he retired.
Jose might let him go if you take Torres of him...
I'm faithful to my gf. You have to go without me. Or we 3 meet up and get you a girl.
I'll give you Konchesky. The other two I'm not at all arsed about (and I'm factoring in fee). Dossena played a pivotal role in one of the best weeks of my life. Can't knock the lad too much, even if he is sub-Sunderland tier.Paul Konchesky called, he wants a word
actually wait i've got Philip Degen on hold
also Andrea Dossena left a voice message.

Something about Lewis Hamilton is vaguely twattish and makes me want him to fail.
not the same reason you dislike him, Bacon

I'm not sure how much longer Lineker's voice will hold.

I'll go with you Rikkun, I've not been lucky enough to get with an Asian girl yet.

use biggest european game of the season to experiment with resting his first xi, use biggest domestic game to find out just how bad his second choice goalie is.

Napoli's defense is worse than our's.

He's not going to win.

Well we already knew he's no worse than Mignolet, the question was whether he's any better than him.

Rami looks fucking gigantic, but he's 'only' 6ft3"
What was the lineup against R. Madrid in the return CL fixture?
Good on you lads
