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

Barrett now confirming the Gotze rumors.

Oh boy..

Now WHERE did I put that Ron Paul .gif!?

(no message)

I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but if it happens, JK already has had a better transfer career at LFC than BR did.

April fools I'm sure.

We have made incredible progress financially under FSG. Forbes just put us at #6 on their "Super Six" world football clubs which includes a number of issues. They say that our value has jumped %42 in the last 12 months to just under 1 billion. I can't wait to see what happens with the new stand and imagine if we actually win something. Remember Tom Hicks?!

Entertaining match today - too bad we couldn't convert more of those chances.

Can will be out the next two PL games - that means he's got to go all out and play 90 for Dortmund.

Sakho had a pretty bad game - I think he sometimes plays bad when he's pressed so often.

Lovren played outstanding for 89:45. He just gave Kane way too much space on his right foot for the goal.

I don't think there is any debate anymore Studge either doesn't have a burst or isn't able to use it. He got a nice chance based upon a turnover, but otherwise against a high line we didn't get any kind of run in behind their line with him

I thought Migs had his best game in awhile.

Really, hard to be upset. Most of our guys played above their average.

Best game I have seen in a while, all things considered. Great defending, a couple of great goals (Kane's was incredible), and a deserved draw. Loris and Migs had great games.

I thought Coutinho was the MotM for me... Kyle Walker had to be happy to hear the final whistle...

Sakho had his worst game in a while... Moreno got beat a couple of times by not tracking the runs in behind... I was sure the goal was going to come from the left side... but ultimately, it was bad defending from Lovren that cost us... He otherwise had a pretty good match..

This kind of match was perfect for Hendo... I thought he was great helping to break up play..

Lallana was pretty good, as well.. I'm not sure about Studge, in regards to writing off his burst and stamina for good... I guess we'll find out..

In regards to our CBs, I'm now of the opinion that I'd probably get rid of all of them if there was an opportunity to sell... I know that isn't realistic, but I would... Toure and Skrtel obviously need to go.. I think Sakho, when on, is a monster and very good... but he is injured too often and always has a game like yesterday in him... Lovren, while improved is just average on a good day.. watched Schalke yesterday to see Matip... wasn't that impressed (not that he was horrible or anything), so I hope as a free transfer, he's brought in more for a squad spot... That said, I trust Klopp more than myself, so we'll see next season...

edit: I will add that I was very nervous at the end, when they had all those corners...

I mean we can't completely overhaul our CB's

yeah, thats why I said its not realistic... what I meant was, none are beyond selling, bar Gomez.. IMO

It was a good goal from Kane, but Lovren over committed and allowed Kane to turn.. other than that he had a good game.. I still don't really rate him.. He def looks better on the right, than he ever did on the left... I have to imagine some of that is due to partnering Sakho and not Skrtel..

Id probable keep Sakho and Lovren, too.. bring in Matip and hopefully some one to partner Sakho.. Gomez can be the 5th CB and cover at FB..

I was actually hoping to see Caulker at some point this season, but that doesn't look like it will happen... oh well, looks like he'll be gone in a couple months anyway
