Beg to differ, he has been scoring and assisting goals at a good rate throughout his career. His current rate might not be sustainable given that no other Liverpool player in history has had this amount of goals by January and he's a winger FFS, but he has always been a very effective player in the final 3rd.

Aye, I think Salah is maintaining a consistent development curve. It's a fluke when you do it for half a season. It's a character trait when you've never scored at a worse rate than 1 in 2 in the last three years. He's not going to keep up a goal per game for Liverpool but he's easily a 20-25 goal per season player, and as an added certificate of authenticity it doesn't seem to matter which league he's playing in. I can't see him staying at Liverpool for very long either.

Lemar to Liverpool doing the rounds. We are stuck in reverse while all the good players go to  other clubs. But hey, top six.

Chelsea linked with Andy Carroll. He'd have finish some chances against us yesterday.

Liverpool have been working on a long term plan for years. Its probably why they were so upset when we bid for Suarez. They deliberately signed the best young players they could find for years. When they were confident they'd got the players they needed. They purposefully targeted klopp as a coach who develops players rather than signing a more organisational manager. What they've lost on the organisational front thwy've made up for on the development front.

One of their coaches explained this plan to me years ago. And they played it out. It's like a young Wenger 101 plan. But the struggle to stay in the top four and Wenger loosing his mojo. I think has left us with short term planning.

Our defence, keeper and attack need a massive overhaul and we might need to buy some budding stars to work on as the WC players aren't gonna rush to join this shitshow.

so they've spent 200m on the likes of VVD, keita, AOC, salah, and robertson

if they get 130m in the door for coutinho, would they really be willing to splurge on 80-90m on lemar as well? it would show they're not fucking around, that's for sure

If they lose Can they will have to rebuild a little again.

They've signed keita already for a big fee. My point was they're being run very well.

Barkley to Chelsea. At least we don't have to worry about signing that guy.

Makes sense, would fit their counter attacking style.

Klopp makes them work and fight like dogs on the pitch. Mahrez could struggle with that.

No he won't. He would struggle with that under Wenger bit not with a manager like Klopp

Keita incoming. Marvellous player.

I’m not convinced by Keita. Looks like he’ll struggle positionally

About Keita : nobody was convinced about Salah either. Liverpool have done brilliantly in the market for their midfielders and attackers and have tried to make sure of their defense as well.

Nope , not to the extent he has performed at. No way.
