  1. They got hit by a fine yet spent £150 million this year. They have spurious sponsorships (I am looking at you Etihad Airways) that help reduce their losses. On top of that, FFP is based on the accounts so there is nothing that a bit of creative accounting cannot solve. Their net spend this year was £105 million. Ours was £32 million.
  2. I can see how excited you are. You had to type it twice. I can see how excited you are. You had to type it twice.
  3. City could buy three Mangalas and it would not even put a tiny whole in their pocket. For us its a different story.
  4. That's the spirit!
  5. If Skrtel is our best, then he definitely needs to center backs in January.
  6. Rafa could attract the big names. Unfortunately the owners were not willing to cough up. Some of the players Rafa went after included Simoa, Dani Alves, Eto, David Silva, Tevez, Vidic, Drogba and Arda Turan to name but a few. Rodgers just went for obscure players in the hope they would turn out great knowing that he could not attract the big names. Unfortunately, it did not work like that and we are now paying for it. Why not both?
  7. No way Firmino should be in the team. Swap Firmino with Cout and add Can next to Hendo. I would be tempted to put Ibe upfront next to Benteke.
  8. Is there any possibility for it to be 2-3 decades?
  9. Sorry, I have a US keyboard so do not have the pound sign. Yeah I forgot about Mario. I wish it was in Yen.
  10. If you include Lovren, Aspas, L. Alberto, Mignolet, Illori, Lambert, Borini, then he spent a staggering 105 million on average/downright sh*te players.
  11. This kind of sh*t really p*sses me off. Rodgers had three seasons and in his 4th season he produced that sh*t in the first 8 games. Klopp has only has 8 games, 8 effing games and they already start the comparisons. As much as we would like Klopp to walk on water and raise the dead, unfortunately he is only a football manager and a world class one at that. It will take much longer than 8 games to clean Rodgers' sh*t because some of that sh*t has dried up and left massive effing stain that will take some effort to remove.
  12. Thankfully now only one person (and the most important one) has the first and last say on this.
  13. Or that could have been a motivating tool. He was hardly going to say "I cannot believe the previous manager signed this sh*te. I guess I will have to play them now."
  14. So do I. There were always going to be significant bumps on the way. Reality is, we have one of the top 5 managers in the world. I would only rank Guardiola, Simeone and possibly Ancelotti above him. Give him time and we will have fun.
  15. Didnt we score 100+ goals in a season under Rafa and Ged?
  16. We have seen a lot of sh*te performances over the last 25 years. Whilst yesterday was bad, it is no worse than what we saw under Rodgers, *** ******n, Rafa, Ged, Souness and Evans. You don't have to go too far back: West Ham at home and Stoke away last season were worse than yesterday. I am still gobsmacked that Rodgers was able to keep his job after Stoke away. Not only that, he was bloody given 80 million to p*ss down the toilet.
  17. So are you saying Klopp was the wrong choice?
  18. The issue is not the formation. We simply do not have any pace in the side to keep teams honest. Firmino, Benteke, Milner, Lallana are plodders. The other thing is, teams can sense our fragile confidence and our jittery backline, so they attack both. Away from home, we should always play a front three of coutinho, ibe and Origi/Sturridge* Midfield 3 should always consist of Lucas, Allen and Henderson. Benteke should only play at home.
  19. See, its easy to look good when you have no pressure. No one expects anything from Watford, so they play with complete freedom. If they lose, well they lost to Liverpool, so no shame. If they win, no one expected them to win so they surprised everyone.
  20. Never a good idea to post when you are drunk.
  21. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but he started Benteke at Newcastle and he did eff all. 2 defeats in 3 games to complete sh*te is depressing. We can blame tactics all day but when you are forced to play sh*te that Brendan bought, you have very little margin for error. Klopp is not infallible, no manager is. He will get it right.
  22. Its much worse than you think - its zero puant.
  23. Firmino - 29m Benteke - 32m Moreno - 12m Mignolet - 12m Lallana - 25m Lovren - 20m Lambert - 4m Total spending - 134m. Thank you Brendan. For everything else, there is MasterCard.
  24. When Heurelho Gomes is playing, you know we have been sh*t.
  25. Watford are out gegening us.
