re: OFFICIAL Liverpool FC 2015-2016 Season Long Thread: Basel Bound!

I believe his points cost us is completely different from the points we have dropped once in the league.

Points cost us are specific to saves he should easily make or comlete whiffs of the ball which allow an easy goal. Those game results are then tabulated vs. what they would have been without the goal. THats not perfect, as without the goal the rest of the game would have gone differently, but it gives you an idea about what his actual mistakes are costing us in terms of points.

Its a little tougher to figure out how many they've saved you, but clearly a keeper like DDG has won the Mancs a lot of points this year that they otherwise would have lost.

GK can makes losses into ties and ties into wins by making that big saves and no giving up an easy opportunity.

Migs makes wins into ties and ties into losses by making terrible mistakes and missing some very easy saves.

Still holding out hope that all the ter Stegen rumors are true... He's got a bit of growing to do still (not physically) I think, but he could be a solid #1 for a decade or more imo

80 million euro buy out clause that Barca said they won't budge on.

Also Migs just inked a new long term deal

Yeah, I think Migs contract was just to lock him up just in case, and provide value should we decide to sell.

I mean, the choice was either to have no GK locked up heading into next year (migs on last year of his deal) or to lock him in.

I also read where the extension was already in the works under BR, and Klopp did not want to stop it and give Migs any reason to lose confidence, which makes perfect sense from a man management perspective.

extension or not, if he's demoted he's gonna lose confidence...

and at this point, it's has become the biggest need on the squad... more than CB, more than CDM, more than striker.... we are top 4, right now, if not for that dude...

Hillsborough Jury verdict tomorrow

Duckenfield may finally get his... Been a long time coming, but glad to see this resolved properly (whether the jury finds him guilty or not)

The verdict is in... from the Echo's live blog..

quote:

---

• Liverpool fans were unlawfully killed;

• Fans were in no way to blame;

• There were “major omissions” in police planning and preparation for the semi-final;

• Police response to the increasing crowds at Leppings Lane was “slow and uncoordinated”;

• Errors by commanding officers contributed to the crush on the terrace;

• Commanding officers failed to recognise pens were at capacity;

• Design and layout of the crush barriers in pen three and four were not fully compliant with safety regulations;

• Ambulance officers at the scene failed to ascertain the scale of the problem and the failure to call a major incident led to delays in responses to the emergency;

• A lack of communication, coordination and command and control by police.

He's gonna be out for a while.

Man, that's awful news. We needed him for the Europa push. I hope Toure and Lucas strap in, because we're going to need their old legs paired with Lovren.

I'm not sure of the procedure with UEFA, but if there were some type of suspensive appellate process, I'm sure he would have availed himself of it to allow him to finish the season and then have his hearing during the summer.
