Leicester City v Liverpool (Match Thread)

[CCTV]

That's not my job. All I know is that many of the players we have in our squad simply aren't up to the task and for one reason or another they should not be playing for the most successful club in England, who not only are the current PL champions, the 2019 CL and WCC champions, but are also one of only five clubs to have their own EC/CL trophy, and who are the fifth richest club in the world.

Would a local pitch and putt 'pro' be selected to play in the Ryder cup, or someone who won a go-kart race whilst on their stag do get signed up by an F1 team? No they wouldn't. Why? Because it would be next level stupidity. If you are or want to be the best you need to have players that can reach that level, and that means going out and actively seeking the best. Not casting a net that has seen better days into a small stream and hoping that you catch something 'edible'.

City are top of the net spend table, half a billion or 400+million greater than us.
They still had a dip, so I'm not sure how you think bringing us up to spurs etc would offset a dip, when city top of the table couldn't sustain their performance and points tally.

Skyebo. do you think we should spend money in the summer and compete with the best players even if they cost a lot of money?yes or no?

Yes for me.

And how many of those clubs who have outspend us, have actually won anything in the last 5 years ?

What other clubs do with their money isn't our concern. What is our concern is how much we are, or are not spending. Trying to do things on the cheap is not a viable long term strategy. It hasn't been a viable long term strategy for a fair while now, and certainly stopped being so as soon as the likes of Abramovich and the oil states arrived on the scene. We are one of the few clubs who can compete with those teams, but only if we actually start using the resources we have access to.

Yes i do but as i've said before, i wouldn't expect them to spend £200m every transfer window, sooner or later they should be happy with the squad they have, and just bring a couple in to keep it topped up.

Then why bring 13 other clubs into things, if it doesn't concern you ?

Sick of the excuses!!!!!!!

you can't blame the injury's or squad for that, was easily good enough to beat them

Against the likes of man city i'd expect a struggle

Leicester a little, but that still isn't a BAD TEAM!!!!!!!!!

So you want them to spend 200m in the summer?

[Kev0909]

Isn't this the same squad people was saying best squad we've ever had last year????

Can't beat burnley fulham wba etc etc

ffs FSG

Spending is a convenient excuse, for too many supporters it’s always about money. Problems are deeper. Won multiple trophies with this squad. Klopp doesn’t have plan B in games. We will be 8th place by mid week. It’s going to get worse before it gets better.
