I think those quotes get blown a bit out of proportion (not saying that you are)... I think it's a case of English being a second language kind of thing..

I would hope he would feel that way, honestly...

That said, I'm guessing his time is coming up at LFC, whether that be in Jan or summer... I wish him well.. always liked him!

edit: I don't want to lose him in Jan without a backup in place..

He's simply not good enough.

He served us well while we were a 4-6 position team but top 2 he's simply not good enough defensively.

And Robbo is an absolute animal. From a pure value standpoint, signing of the decade IMO.

What did we pay? Wasn't it like 8 fricking million? He's literally in the best left back in the world conversation.

I think he's perfectly fine as a backup LB. That said, it doesn't look like Klopp really trusts him much anyway because he's really not rotated in much at all. So I can see why he wouldn't be happy, but if he doesn't wanna stick around, then that's fine.

Just based on the fact Klopp doesn't rotate Robertson out much at all, I'm sure he wouldn't have too much of a problem selling him even without bringing in someone else knowing he can play Clyne, Gomez, or even Milner there. Not saying that's optimal, but just what he may think

yeah, thats where I'm at with it..

apparently, a couple of the academy LBs have been training with the first team.. I believe Adam Lewis is the one we have high hopes for..

Yea, I mean that was my point about the lack of rotation.

Robbo is young enough. I'd love to find an experienced bargain player that could play up and down the left side of Moreno is unhappy.

If we don't play him anyway, hard to justify him on the wage book. I know he's by no means "cheap" at this point.

Ive said it before, but Id go after Sessegnon... He could get minutes at LB and LW... though I think his future is at LB...

Especially, if Fulham goes down... we've done pretty well the past 3 years with relegated signings...

Gents, it’s been a good first half of the season! Still room for improvement (looking at you, “draw column”... ), but it has been a lot of fun to watch. Here’s to a repeat in the second half of the season!

I couldn’t watch yesterday because I was offshore fishing for small-fry, but I was repping LFC for good luck. Seems to have worked!









Great day, especially seeing the scoreline and Fabs opening his account!

WTF? Where is your Klopp replica hat?

Glad you had a good day - and that Liverpool did too.

Great to watch our midfield start to gel together. I think Winj has really come along playing in our midfield 2. And by playing Keita or Shaq further forward, its no longer a complete liability to have he and Hendo on the pitch together. Heck even Hendo was making some great passes. Fab finally rounding into form over the last month is the cherry on top. Lots of options and depth there, and they can all fill similar roles for eachother.

TAA slotted right back in excellently yesterday.

I've love Robbo to get a rest, but sure as hell shouldn't be in the next two games.

As for Moreno - can't imagine he'll be here next year,but we do need someone Klopp trusts as a back-up. Robbo can't play 63 games a season. Wasn't Klopp promoting a youth LB to practice with the firs team that he was high on?

Klopp on AOC...

"Best news. We had to wait for the reaction and there was no reaction, which was even nicer. No pressure on him but it looks like February he may be back in normal training."

Thanks fellas! And yeah Rise, lots of bait on that boat. That was the targeted group of species for the trip though, so by that standard we did fairly well. They were great on homemade tortillas made by the wife and MIL.

Ox possibly being back is gonna be HUGE. I’d love to see a two shift rotation of:

Ox-Shaq-Hendo
Baby Keith-Gini-Fabs

Really any mix thereof is acceptable, with Millie mixed in.

I love the multiple smoke signals as far as the January window is concerned. If we can get one each striker/CB for the window, I don’t see anyone taking the title from us. If we do not bolster either position, we had better pray for no injuries down the stretch. We’ll finish top four still, but not getting help would be highly detrimental IMO.

Honestly I wouldn’t expect us to go for anyone in January unless we had another injury, and only probably if it was a CB (knock on wood)

But really we should have enough options to make it through the season

Good news on Ox. I would still not rush anything and wouldn’t expect him to see any time until maybe April if we’re lucky. That’s a big injury and would hate to rush him back

Id honestly be okay with him not playing at all this season... I don't want to rush him back at all... Maybe some garbage time minutes, later in the season to help him acclimate back into the squad.. That was a serious injury..

Saw a crazy Ox fact yesterday.

Arsenal had to pay Southampton £10,000 every time of played more than 20 minutes in a match.

Sorry guys, I slept through my alarm and missed the first 12 minutes... Within 3 minutes of me turning it on we've scored 2
