I recall Klopp using Steven Caulker upfront a few times. I wonder if... hmm...
That's the spirit. Chins up lads.

Yeah I know he is a Madrid fan, but would be worth a go
Realistically there is a few players who could replace him if we rejig the system - Lallanas injury just makes it a bit more awkward. Pulisic, Mor (whatever the heck is going on with at the moment) or bring Firmino into Coutinho role and buy someone like Aubamayeng.
Is he included in a buy 1, get the other free in the Van Dijk deal?
You don't want Van Dijk, dude has a "virus" and will miss the first game. 😂

Hehe he and Coutinho must've caught the same virus.

Sounds like Morata won't be starting either, although Conte says he's improving.

So Coutinho made the transfer request huh? Told you guys Too much smoke coming out of that "rumour" to be just a rumour.
Of course a transfer request doesn't force anything, but it's never too much of a good idea to keep a player in the squad that has made it public that he wants to leave.
Edit:
Meanwhile PSG is busy making it's own "Les galactiques" and laughing all the way to the bank about UEFA's FFP rules lol

He can't sulk, it's a world cup year.

Pedro injury is bad news. Terrible news actually. I don't know how good or bad Rudiger is as RWB. I hope his crossing is good.

Well fuck me for being optimistic 😭
I hope if we accept an offer it's a ridiculous one. And if we don't, he's got to do his best in a world cup year right?
Gaaaaahhhh. Dammit, Bobby and Alberto you haven't been doing enough!

On the plus side if Barca get Dembele as well the Liverpool/Dortmund bond will never have been stronger!

You must accept that Liverpool's role in football is as Barcelona's feeder club now.
You too Fady! Maybe we see each other in the CL final again!
Man, look at this Man U fans Twitter profile pic....

Which member of SoccerGAF is this? I suspect Audioboxer.
Chelsea are nobody's feeder club. Arsenal are though.
Is Robben playing tomorrow?

FSG made a statement and they should stick to it. It'll be massively embarrassing if they do a 180 now. Coutinho can rot.
Andy Carroll for £35m is still the most ridiculous thing that ever happened in sport
Yep! Still pisses me off. We had to sell him and he would've been better off with us in my opinion. Nevermind, hopefully he's happy at West Ham, they seem to value him more than Liverpool did
I believe so - Morata will probably feature as a sub post-70th minute. Unless he plays to Michy's side. I expect Michy to start in the 9 position.
Agreed man - we just got him back after the preseason injury. Interesting to see who will replace him tomorrow. Rudiger had a rough start, losing Kolasinic (sp?) before we conceded. He barely had any time with us though to be fair. Good test tomorrow.
Thanks old friend. With our thin squad I don't think we'd make it past the round of 16 or quarter finals at best to be fair. I hope James shines with you guys, now that he reunited with Mr. Ancelotti.
I missed you guys. Nice to see the threads growing and especially some old friends like you, Moobabe and Blablurn

That Robbie Keane transfer was pretty funny too. Paid 19m for him in the summer and sold him back to Spurs for 12m in Feburary of that season.

Gonna miss Philippe. Wonder if he's played his last match for us, I'd think so depending on how quickly this gets wrapped up.

I saw a transfer statement from Liverpool earlier, and closed the internet off and went about some work....
I come back to this.....WTF??!?!
This was literally my reaction.

I mean, Klopp's theory about you need to train a certain amount before you play would've put a stop to that anyways. So if he didn't play tomorrow, he most certainly wouldn't play on Tuesday either.

Well that's a shame if he has. Might as well cash in and get the money and start to rebuild again. But then again I wouldn't sell him for anything less than £140 million.
Wonder if he will do a Van Dijk and blame the club for everything?
The fee needs to be 130-140 easily he just signed a new deal in January. Even that is a steal, fuck it 170 and I'll drive him to Barcelona myself.
I'm so glad to see the thread back! Lurked for many years, posting here and there until the last, great culling happened.
Work wont allow me to edit the Google Docs, but I'll probably mostly post about Man U while crying about Sporting CP by about week 3. Going to jump back into FFL after a year off.
