Myself, Noods & Klopp all knew how good Bobby was based on his time at Hoffenheim.Originally Posted by Steveo
Totally agree with you on the shyte spun by the media - but that was the general consensus of football fans - Liverpool fans included who claimed we had dodged a bullet in missing out on Salah first time around.
And no… there is no chance Pep picks Robbo. Not in this Universe and he doesn’t take Mane over Foden. Again not because Foden is better BUT because he is safer.
This is Pep and this is the reason he has so many titles. Klopp was never afforded that luxury to be able to deploy that lower risk strategy. Not that Klopp moaned about it - and he relished the challenge…. but thems the facts.
And to address the ‘Short memories of the shilling kind’..

Roberto Firmino – 3
A pathetic performance from Firmino, who is beginning to bear the brunt of Liverpool supporters’ anger.
The Brazilian did literally nothing, apart from getting offside constantly, and he played with a lethargy that was extremely worrying. His demeanour is naturally laid-back, which is easy to find frustrating.

Bobby firmino
The fact is during his first season he did have a questionable scoring record.. just 1 goal to his name by early January 2016. Some of us remember. And…..doubts about his overall ability and where he fitted in were commonplace especially before Jurgen was bedded in. He was a project... and Jurgen turned him into a world-beater.
Pointing out the truth of his struggle isn't "shit talking"... it’s acknowledging the massive graft and management it took to get him to the top. Stop rewriting history to suit an agenda... some of us were actually watching.
It highlights the difference maker - Jurgen Klopp - and the huge shoes he left to fill…. and this is what triggers the shills every time. Because it highlights the deficiency from the top. The owners who have spent literally nothing, Got the nation’s most successful club “for a steal” and left us to pay for the rest… Fourteen times their investment if they sold today. Imagine what they have bought with that collateral and leverage - while Klopp had to stretch his squad till it broke again and again.
A player arriving to a new club, in a new country with a less than spectacular morale at the club under Rodgers, who signed off on Bobby so long as BR got his man Benteke, struggled to settle a little, shocker.
LFC 10th in the league when BR wad sacked.
Salah arrived with better goals and assist stats than each of our then front 3 over the previous 2 seasons.
I had predicted he would outperform each of our then front 3 for goals & assists, and he delivered.
Using the history of cituaes PL sides on whoscored you get a most used 11 for each PL season.
Since Pep arrived at Cituae here are the most used left backs & left wing forwards each season over his PL seasons.
Clichy, Zinchenko, Mendy, Delph, Cancelo & Gvardiol.
Doku, Grealish, Sterling, Sane.
Robbo & Mane bomb each and everyone of those players to the bench.
I'd pick Sane LWF & Mahrez RWF as the scariest cituae opponents in each position.
And again, neither are keeping Salah & Mane out.

Felt sorry for hodgson,liverpool run by 2 numptys,in debt and players wanting out with no money to buy decent replacements.
Fact is fsg saved liverpool fc.

Worrying that chelsea fans pushing for alonso while we stick with slot.

I never felt sorry for the Owl. he was never at the level to manage Liverpool.. He had Harry Kane taking corners for England..

My point is that not even klopp could have worked under those owners and turned it round.
I agree hodgson wasnt the right man but we had bigger issues,we were close to a points deduction which could have put us in a relegation battle andvif fsg hadnt stepped in we might have not recovered.

FSG got themselves the bargain of all bargains. Make no mistake, they bought us because of how much money they would go on to make, not because they wanted to save us, and by virtue that they are incorrectly seen as our 'saviours'. If FSG's mates hadn't been given the opportunity to buy our club, I 100% guarantee you that someone else would have bought us. We are one of the biggest institutions in world sport. There's not a chance that we'd have gone to the wall.

Get alonso in now before chelsea step in and give alonso last few games to get settled in.
First Team
We need to get someone in who will attract top quality players, not keep someone who will not only have top class players running for the hills, but will also have the few good quality or promising players we have wanting to jump ship.
First Team
We have now dropped nine points from winning positions in home league games this season. That's the most points we've dropped from winning positions at Anfield in a single season since 15/16 (14).
