My take on the transfer episode thus far. FSG wants to be shrewd in their business by buying high potential young players but not shrewd enough in closing deals that can elevate the team's quality to the next level.

 

Looking at how Barca is lurking within Anfield to entice FSG with an enormous bid, and seal a deal for Coutihno, I remain concern whether FSG could have been more prepared to get the necessary quality players to show a statement to existing core team; instead of plunging into any buys unprepared and appease the fans.

 

See Lallana, has FSG started to search for a similar quality as Lallana is nearing his 30s. For long-term planning, we should be getting a player to bed them to our system over 2 years perhaps; akin to how SAF did it at Man Utd.

 

That said, I hope the team strength is reinforced by the end of Aug; otherwise, i hope the current team can rise to the occasion and perform, even with the possible absence of PC.

 

I believe we can do better this season on 4 fronts only if we have a full squad for selection.

We have enough midfield players and as such, no urgency to buy one at high price....

 

What we lack is one central defender of which, we are keeping our fingers cross for Virgil of Southampton.

We should be ok as long as it doesn't come

 

down to penalties. I think Hoffenheim has the

 

advantage here as they don't have any

 

English players.

Athlethic Bilbao 

 

In 1983-84 the Reds, having been held 0-0 at Anfield,

 

went to Bilbao and won 1-0 thanks to an Ian Rush header

 

en route to winning the European Cup.

 

 

 

They are our lucky charm in the European Cup

 

so that's why we are playing them.

Virgin should ask this man what its like to play for Liverpool.

A 3-1 win over A Bilbao.

Lovely atmosphere at Dublin.

Missing a few first teamers.

Moreno looking decent all of a sudden.

Milner going into Midfiend as expected.

Solanke with a goal, looking like a shrewd acquisition

JK secret tactics picked up by microphones.

 

 

Pitch-side microphones managed to pick up the German yelling to his players to pick up the pace.

“Shift it, August [is] too late to play like this,” he says, before screaming: “PLAY F***ING FOOTBALL”.

Unsurprisingly, the short clip quickly went viral on Twitter and proved a big hit with fans.

That's the difference between BR and JK

 

BR make good players play like sheet

 

and JK make them look good.

They should hv those mic up moments like nba. We can hear clearly wat the players n coaches r saying. Edited August 6, 2017 by Shorty

Defense still no eye see.

And Solanke should be ahead of Origi.

can share how much u spent during this trip? i initially thought of making the trip myself....but if can afford, mayb will bring my family as well.

I didn't spend too much, spent around £39 for 1 adult and 2 kids, cos I am currently living in the UK and we are in liverpool for holiday. Hotel for 3 days 2 nights was around £280 & diesel cost around £60. But if you going to Liverpool and perhaps London for 6 days, 5 nights...I reckon it will cost around S$3.5 - 4.5K for one person.

Not sure if i heard correctly over (m'sian) radio this morning, but it said Coutinho has agreed to move to Barca...   , for a fee approaching 1 mil Euro...

 

I hope it's not true. 

 

If he has to go, better be for at least 1.5 mil.
