No MOTD on the beeb

Agree. Plus Wenger used to moan and whinge when teams setup up deep against them or were too aggressive. How dare they not play football in the way we want them to play it. I could be wrong but I don't hear Klopp complaining about how the opposition setup / play etc (dangerous tackles aside of course).

Plus Wiki says it is true now

Yes we were 'beaten' to Keane / Ronaldo / Zidane etc in the same way Spurs have recently just missed out on some top players

UEFA can feck off. We are turning up with our ball to play Salzburg. And that is that.

Did you lime that Brazil 94 team? Thought they were dull

True agree with need to evolve team and squad (Not playing style for me) but I'd rather a dour midfield that gets us results - substance over style and all that.

Evolution of a team that got 97 points one season and 99 points the next?! If it is not broke don't fix it My theory is we need 3 high energy midfielders in Klopps system (Gini, Hendo, Fab, Milner types) or else we are too exposed and can't control, dominate the opposition. Especially against quality opposition. We are a different kind of team to city or Barca circa 2012 which is fine. So we have to sacrifice some guile in middle of park for this but so be it. I feel we look too open when teams come at us and every team has a purple patch in games.

Is Kelleher definitely out?

What's he on at the moment? A special deal for Mo at 300k per week plus big performance related bonuses - maybe that could work? Given his physicsal conditioning, his lifestyle and the fact he seems to have a natural type of physique where age doesn't seem to impact him too much he can play at full tilt for around 3 - 4 seasons.

We don't deserve to win a game if we concede 3. We're not f**king Keegan's Newcastle.

Ox loves finding a blind alley and then running down it

Well it may not be a must win but if we will contend we need to beat a Leeds team that will finish mid table at best. Interestingly we only finished 10 points ahead of them last year.

So any change with this?

Yes but risk isn't all or nothing - it is a sliding scale. FFS it is not like we'd be Risdale under Leeds if we bought another midfielder (that we need!!) FSG could simply have loaned the club the cash or god forbid invest in the playing side.....they've made a fortune on unrealized value / equity from the club to date. THey have access to mountains of cheap cash. Has anybody seen interest rates lately? it is easy to get access to low interest cash in the current market. Didn't they initially pay / invest around 5-600 million. According to Forbes the club is now worth £2,960,000,000. So that's let's say £2,000,000,000 profit they'd make if they sold the club. Apologies for the back of the envelope maths. I'm not a massive FSG fan but I don't think they are bad owners. THey have made good decisions but they are f**king creaming it here big time. When they sail off into the sunset with their £2,000,000,000 profit I genuinely wonder will all the FSG apologists be slapping them on back, saying well done to them they earned it?!

Yes what was the Mo Trent thing all about. TAA is all of a sudde. An inside forward. Strange

Couldn't we just have signed Bellingham at 16 and loaned him out so? And brought him back to our 1st team squad for this season. I mean FFS!

Luxury tax - for f**k sake = we gladly take your blood / oil etc money because we are greedy c**ts and want a piece of the action. They work like f**king mob bosses.

I've noticed that on Irish radio over last month! No mention of fact that he was basically assaulted on the pitch - i.e Pickford was nowhere near the ball and took the man. It is amazing now that in rugby using your body as a weapon is a straight red card so if Pickford and Kane (With his deliberate taking out players in the air) were playing rugby they would be sent off no f**king questions asked. Kane would be serving a 6 month ban based on his numerous repeat offences.

Eh I wonder many PL assists Naby and Curtis have between them

Curtis and Keita are not suitable replacements for Hendo and Fab.

No - Elliot is the Shaq replacement. We still need the Gini replacement.

Yeah it is cheap because Lyon have to pay him 80k a week or close to it. No way Shaq is leaving on massively reduced wages even if he gets a long term deal. Otherwise he would just stay and get a good contract when he leaves on a free.

Cheers.Partey is abit mad too!

That is made. Where you seeing that?
