You do know we can see your old posts right? You were one of Sancho’s biggest fans.
Liverpool are a mess

A certain M. Carrick too.

That's some good use of search option.He wasn't signed from relegated team.
Ah - clever. Inhalers click, midfield clicks. I get it. Bravo, sir.
Not sure of your point. I never said you signed him directly. I was making the point that a player being relegated (eg Carrick, Lavia) isn’t a reason to discount them, as some on this thread have.
Point is so straightforward, don't think I should repeat it.
Yes players signed from relegated teams means nothing, many great players were signed from relegated teams or with relegation in their CV.
Well you all missed the best of them Keane from Forest to United.
Horrible feeling I’ll be wrong but I’m of the same opinion. He’s living off the rep of Argentina and Brighton’s exploits which were very much down to others. I guess that probably makes him a very worthy replacement for Jordan Henderson and he will play the unremarkable sidekick role just fine but I’m looking at that midfield and wondering who he is supposed to be a sidekick to.
I agree. He might grow into the role, but I just don’t really see it with him.
Like, what elements of a centre midfield player does he genuinely excel at? I can’t really see any.
His superpower is being available for selection every match day. Don't underestimate the value of this to Klopp. He loves being able to play the same players every match.
That’s brutal!
The usual suspects
I remember you guys from the Antony thread. Next time read the thread properlyTo be fair it’s not the first time you’ve been rumbled.The usual suspects
The classic I’ve watched him for years before he was born before it transpires the research goes as far as a 5 min YouTube video.

Yeah. Talk about any random player, he comes up with "I watched him play".
liverpool will be struggling for top 4 if they dont bring in atleast 2-3 defenders.
You're also the chap who wanted us to sign Saint-Maximin.The usual suspects
I think it’s the midfield where the problem lies. They are very thin on depth. That’s without factoring the fact they have a completely new midfield which hasn’t gelled yet.
If they have a title challenge which pushes right to the end of the season, I’d go as far as saying that’s a greater achievement than the season when they won the title and had a stable well gelled team.
Lavia, Mac Allister and Szoboszlai is a really nice midfield to be fair and does make me a little bit concerned about them next season. They badly need at least one new CB too though and maybe a new striker.
Roy Keane also was
Is this a wum thread? I’ve seen nothing to suggest the scousers are in a mess, unfortunately.
Liverpool are not in a mess, this thread is a bit of a nonsense (well the title certainly is). The have some excellent players, some good players and a few average players. Very similar to ourselves. They have added legs for the way they want to press, plus the fact they have one of the best managers in the world.
Last season basically. Also, making Van Dijk captain doesn't look particularly wise.
The fcukers have spent well in this window and is most certainly a improvement ( on paper ) on last years OAPs. Fortunately they still have Gomez which might give us some hole.
Can’t say I’m overly happy with our summer signings being honest but in ETHWT. He certainly knows better than any of us fans.
Unfortunately, i think they'll make top-4 this season. But, they've been really dependent on Salah for goals for a while and he's now 31. To me, Nunez seems to lack a bit of technique and is very reliant on his physical traits to score. Their midfield might take time to adjust as well considering it will be completely new.
Liverpool may or may not be a mess however the Saudi's are bloody funding their summer transfer window by paying big money for old guys like Henderson and Fabinho
Just trying to think of the options after all the changes this summer.
Lavia (most likely)
Thiago
Mac Allister
Jones
Szoboszlai
Bajcetic
Elliot
Does seem a bit green and lightweight now.
Fecking hate them but they will finish above us next season.
I just don’t think we have the midfield depth or enough goals in the team.

They have a brand new midfield. It won’t all click smoothly. Calm down.
I would not worry about Liverpool. I would not worry about their problems that is. I think we should worry about them. They spanked us last year so I'd be very quiet until we do something similar to them.
But why
I edited the post to elaborate.
I'd much rather just finish above them in the league.
All coping mechanisms are allowed. That game will go into history books forever while I doubt anyone will remember that we finished above them in 2022/2023 football season.
Of course we will. The beginning of the end of Klopps era
I’ll remember being in the CL. Liverpool can enjoy Thursday nights.
Yep very thin. For me, Elliot, Jones and Thiago are not good enough for the requirements. As good as Thiago used to be, he’s not got the legs to play in that Liverpool midfield.
That leaves Lavia, MacAllister, Szoboszlai as your main options. Bajcetic is still very young and inconsistent. They need at least 2 more high quality midfielders to have any kind of rotation.
Not a coping mechanism. One off games are nice and all but we won the war. Hopefully that continues.
We have to remove 6 points from our attainable points. Away at city and away at Liverpool.
Scores of 2-4, 5-0, 4-0 and 7-0 in our recent games against our biggest rivals. Them tonking us so regularly with ease is shameful.
The 2-4 got them into the champions league for the 21-22 and they almost got the quadruple.
Taking them lightly had always been the theme for United players and this forum in general.
They currently have one of the top 2 managers in the world and yet writing them off so easily without any logic other than new players settling in is just
