      Who signed Suarez?
      Sep 09, 2016 08:56:27 am
      Hodgson made me feel ill listening to him.

      Always bigging up the opposition to make his job look better.

      The man is ...and was ... the lowest form of life and when he said within hours of being sacked by the F.A.

      " I dont know what I am doing here !" ...it said everything.
      He was getting his cheque and that was all that mattered.

      He had picked up £14 million over his time as England manager for leading the national team to their worst ever World Cup and then worst ever Euro performance.

      Interesting what his first comments always were.

      After the World Cup the first comment he made was " I'm not resigning" to hang on to the gravy train.

      As with all Liverpool managers I tried to support Hodgson for as long as I could, sadly he made that almost impossible with his actions.

      Looking back it is difficult to find one redeeming memory of his tenure here.

      Wonder how many points we will lose this season because Jürgen didn't bring a left back in. Not only will we ship some goals, because lets face it, we will, but we won't be much of a threat going forward down that flank either.  Morenos final ball/crossing ability is downright woeful and Milner cuts inside and is too slow to beat a man basically.

      The more I think about it the more I'm in complete disbelief we didn't bring anybody in. The amount of money that should be there and theres not one half decent left back in the world that can do a job for us?

      Nah, f**k off.

      The difference between us finishing top four might be 3 points. It might be a point. It might even be on f**king goal difference. Bet you won't be saying it's boring to discuss then.

      Edit - in fact, you are probably one of those gobshites who will then bring it up when it happens.

      Kenny was in charge when we signed Suarez.

      I think the best you can hope for is Mireles...we made a profit on him at least.

      were going to have to let this go because there is no answer which makes any sense whatsoever which can only mean we don't have all the facts. Judging by Moreno's baby walking antics the other day his brain cells have not be multiplying and Milner still hasn't grown a left foot. Milner and Moreno are not the answer so you have to believe Jürgen has someone else planned for that position.

      No it won't be boring to discuss but it's not the end of the season is it?

      I have said many times how surprising I find it that Klopp hasn't signed a left back. I'm completely shocked by it but I've come to terms with the transfer window shutting 9 days ago and a ball hasn't even been kicked since then.

      Everyone knows we needed a left back. We didn't buy one. What are we going to do?

      Why not use Smith then? Clyne could have played LB and Flanno on the right.   Both of those options (although short term) are better than what we have now.

      Could be, yes. People will defend Jürgen no matter what and look for other excuses like poor refereeing decisions in certain games, but the LB position will cause us all kinds of problems this season.

      Who do you go with? Milner who will at least put a shift in and is pretty solid, but offers nothing going forward.  Or Moreno, who can't defend for toffee but atleast offers us a bit of natural width - as sh*te as he is on the ball.

      Jurgens refusal to bring in a goal scorer will also bite him on the arse. Not adding any steel to the midfield either.

      I remember when Brendan played midfielders out of position. You never heard 'oh maybe he is just waiting until he gets the right man for that position'. No, all you would hear is why is that clown playing Markovic at wing back.

      For me the problem is not necessarily Moreno, but Moreno in the system we play. Usually when you play such attacking wingbacks, you either play 3 at the back or with a defensive midfielder to cover. We do neither, so it exposes not only Moreno's lack of brains, but also makes it very difficult for him to recover.

      This is exacerbated by the fact that our midfield players are right footed so their natural inclination is to move to the right rather than to their left...covering Clyne not Moreno.

      Yes it is a very attacking system, but also one that is always going to be susceptible to conceding goals.

      To true s@int,Kenny did indeed sign Suarez,I still recall the picture of Kenny welcoming Suarez to Liverpool in Spanish lingo.And Luis had a big grin on his face.

      That's not entirely correct. Suarez was signed when Kenny was in charge but a pre-release agreement had been signed six months before when Woy was in charge. Kenny's signing was Caroll, not Suarez. Make what you will of that irony.

      That's a new one on me mate - I'm not saying you ain't right btw just that I only remember us nearly losing out because we low-balled [£12.8m] on our first offer and if we had signed a pre-agreement surely that would have already been sorted. Anyhows...

      On Luis - I do remember reading the exact breakdown of his £65m transfer to Barcelona. Sixty-five F***ing million: what was he smoking?  :laugh: :laugh:

      See if we're not careful, we end up dictating to people not only the subject matter it's OK to talk about, we even end up dictating WHEN it's OK to talk about it too. If WE think it'should "too early" to say whether or not someone us going to be any good, why not just not get involved in the discussion?
      Totally agree with you bigmick, this a discussion were people are invited to give their opinion, and people should remember that no one opinion is right, by it's name it is just that, an opinion

      Me, I've never been afraid to voice an early opinion. Mine are:
      I also totally agree with you here... No one should be afraid to voice their opinion, but you (People) should make allowances that thier opinion could be wrong

      Wijnaldum is going to be a top player for us, but so far has been quiet.

      Mane is playing well bit IMHO isn'the quite as good as he's looked so far.

      Origi isn't good enough.

      Branaghan and Ojo aren't good enough.

      Matip will be decent, but not spectacular.

      Lallana will be our player of the season and get nominated in the players awards.

      We'll win Saturday 4-0.
      And you (people) should be prepared for others to disagree with your opinions...

      I don't believe that Kenny signed Luis Suarez did he?... Was there not a deal in place for Suarez before Kenny took over?...

      Really doubt that mate. Suarez got a 7 match ban for biting someone at the end of November and was banned till February, I think that was the catalyst for his sale.

      We tried to lowball Ajax who then gave an ultimatum that if we didn't finalise the deal quickly they would not sell him.

      I also think the fact that Torres was unsettled helped us decide to pay the extra and sign him in the hope of persuading Torres to stay... needless to say it didn't work.
