I don’t disagree with any of that, but I reckon we win tonight with Salah up the middle and Elliot on the right. We ve got to start seeing him more in that role, or we re going to be none the wiser in the future. And I’m definitely not saying we compromise Salah’s role in the side to fit Elliot in, it’s just this is a great opportunity to have a proper look. Nunez and Jota back in the frame, and your last point sticks, for sure.

I d bet big on klopp not seeing him in that role, surely it’s out of necessity, he’s got to trust him more than what he’s being asked to do at the moment? Maybe, I’m wrong, but I’m still dead excited about him.

And you’re the biggest whopper on here, nobody chats more nonsense than you. Worst judge of a player in the community by a mile. I think I was having to defend Robertson’s credentials the other year, when you wanted him benched and he was brilliant. Elliot is having to do a tough job for the team at the moment, I hope you get the chance to see him in full flow, played in the correct position.

I thought he was good tonight, played out of position, as he always is. He should be starting in the front three, for me, with the injuries we have at the moment, it’s a great opportunity to play him in that role. He’s picking the ball up so deep at times, I think Klopp’s handling of Curtis Jones has been a disappointment, I was hoping for better from him with Elliot. He raves about these young players, but I don’t think he trusts them. When Jones had that run in the side, the last time we had an injury crisis, I was pulling my hair out. He’s miles better than he has been allowed to show under Klopp, zero freedom. Anyway, I disagree, I don’t think Elliot is too raw, I d play him every game at then moment, I d just like to see him further up the pitch.

I called him a beady-eyed snake the other night, I’m sure it broke his heart, but I’m ok with that apology. He’s shouldering all the blame from our end, that’ll do, for me. Two days of toil for fans of our club, but no major harm done.

More of this, please. Strong.

At least you’ve been consistent in this thread, I just feel you’re out of sync with the general flow of disgust at the proposals. This isn’t just about our club, it’s about the cunning behaviour of the six involved that undermines football in this country. It’s a terrible idea and I’m dismayed that some people have a ‘let’s see what happens’ attitude to it.

It’s for the benefit of FSG, and to the detriment of football in this country.

I’m not. That beady-eyed snake, John Henry, is counting on fans of this club to adopt that line of thinking. I honestly haven’t given a thought to UEFA, the PL or Sky. I’m more concerned about the grab at power, killing the ambition of ‘smaller’ clubs. I’ve supported Liverpool FC my whole life and love the club, and it’s fans. But, I’ve seen enough under this ownership to know it’s not the club I supported as a boy. More than that, these owners are imposters. Gillette and Hicks threatened our future with their fraudulent dishonesty. FSG are destroying the moral fibre of the club, they are parasites, and I can’t wait to see their inevitable cringe-ridden response to our rejection of their ‘vision’. I f***ing hope so, anyway.

11-4 we are to win the league, 5-2 with the majority of bookies. I’m opening my shoulders next week, and having a bash. Win, lose or draw, that is a gift of a price, in what is shaping up to be a two-horse race. Before Shergar won the 1981 Derby, Richard Baerlein famously wrote, ‘now is the time to bet like men’. I’m feelin’ it!

Conrad is entitled to his opinion, but he does have an agenda with Robertson. I’m gonna have to really start watching him more closely in games, as I reckon his delivery and production is pretty good. I also rate him as one of the best signings we ve made in years, bringing qualities to the club that money just can’t buy. I wouldn t swap him for any other left back in the world. Perhaps Conrad is just a s*** judge. People often are.

A case for Moreno over Robertson? Firstly, Robertson is 100pc every game, he’s mustard and reliable. He’s been fine going forward, his options and outlets have been s***e. Moreno is a terrible option on so many levels, how you can arrive at the conclusion he might be an option to replace Robertson is, in my opinion, a bit nuts.While I’m at it, Gomez is a Roller at CB, Lovren is not in his league, and I don’t want to see Gomez at RB for us again unless we’re in dire straits, and we’re not even close to that.

Lallana’s best for us was good, but also fleeting. Klopp loved him in that good spell of form and he’d be a better starter in the system we play. However, we’re talking about a bench option and Lallana offers fack all in that role, he annoys the hell out of me, running round in circles, offering very little. His recent injury problems offer another reason why this is a signing we should be making, on top of spending fortunes on starters. Lastly, if Lallana is a regular starter next season, then it means we’ve had a mare this summer, and we’re winning f*** all.

Ok, but the Charlie Adam comparison is daft. He’s got pedigree, and rather than go over old ground highlighting positives, I think some of the comments regarding his potential signing are wide of the mark. We’re talking about a squad player, here, somebody that will improve the bench, and he really does.

I hope you’re wrong. I’d be happy to have him around the squad, as he’s capable of making a difference from the bench. We’re not stacked with quality sub options and for around 12mill, we’d be daft not to bring him in. We can’t pad the squad with 30-40mill players right the way through, and I reckon he represents sensible business. I don’t care that he’s not a runner, I don’t care that he’s poor at tracking back. We have plenty of deep options to provide cover. He’s capable of breaking down a stubborn defence, he’s got an eye for goal and for a quality option off the bench, for the money being touted, we won’t get better than him.

What a shocking thing to say. Awful performance from him tonight, but I’m a lot more upset thinking any of our fans could say something like that, even if he’d let 10 in through his legs.

No, jonesy, not him!

Very strong chance new coaching addition will be a former LFC midfielder (tidy player, nowt more). Talks ongoing, by no means over the line, but very close.

And if it's true, I actually quite like it, we'll score goals.

Is the rumoured team similar to this? 3-4-3 formation. Sterling up front, with Lallana and Coutinho in behind. Midfield involving Gerrard and Allen holding, Henderson and Moreno on the wings. Back three of Toure, Skrtel and Johnson. Vague and making an educated guess with the defence (keeper wasn't mentioned) but certain about first five names and their positions.

I reckon he'll be out for a bit, pulled up sharp while sprinting (G Nev chasing him, believe it or not!), didn't look great, apparently.

Strongly disagree with most of that. After the Swansea game at Anfield last season, I was of the opinion that Bony had impressed me more than any other visiting striker. His hold up play was immense, his ability in the air was unquestionable and he worked his large backside off. Having said that, a Sturridge/Bony combo isn't guaranteed to work. However, due to the lack of world class names being linked with us at the moment, combined with the need to bring in more ammo up front, I would happily take Bony at 20mill over Remy at 10mill. Remy is good but I reckon Bony is better. If Rodgers decides to bring Bony in, then I'd rate it a solid signing. I would happily put my money where my mouth is and say he'd get at least 18 in all comps, with scope for at least a few more on top. Ps. After watching a bit of Drogba playing for Marseille, it was pretty obvious he was going to make it in the Prem.

Don't think so, footballers of today barely wipe their own arses let alone carry boots.

Sound, cheers
