GWT: English Premier League: 1/16 - 1/18/2016

[Plato]

Overrated hipster Klopp needs Lewa, Reus and Gotze

Klopp is not overrated.
Please.
The squad isn't good enough for the supposed expectations and that will change with a competent manager in charge.
Ridiculous statement given the circumstances.

 

[Theon]

Van Gaal don't lose to Liverpool.

 

[maclean]

It's obviously not his players. Next year will be a bigger indication on his impact on the team

I agree, until he gets a chance to really move pieces you can't really blame him too hard

 

[Evilo]

Well that can apply to Garde

 

[maclean]

Ridiculous statement given the circumstances.

prooobably a bit tongue in cheek though

 

[Halladay]

Well this is terrible, I need to NFL playoffs to start asap.

The problem under Rodgers wasn't the coaching. He was a competent coach it was the talent evaluation and squad building that had issue. That's where Klopp will have to make his mark.

So frustrating as usual for Liverpool to create a ton of chances but come up empty where it counts...on the scoresheet.

United were still terrible and as soon as we have a bit better quality of player it wouldn't be surprising to smash them.

 

[Jeffrey]

I wonder what's the ratio goals for and goal against for Liverpool on set pieces this year... Probably something like 1 goal for and 20 goals against.

As long as they have De Gea and Liverpool have Mignolet, and as long as Liverpool can't finish they have the advantage. As I said, Man U screwing Real Madrid over De Gea in the summer, was the most important move of that window. And it will probably be enough to get a lousy United side top 4.

Liverpool won't make top 4. Time to focus on getting past Stoke in the League Cup and the Europa League.

 

[Halladay]

Klopp should start playing more of the youth players now.

 

[Edo]

Can't really judge Klopp here for a while. He inherited a pretty bad squad. Considering how big of a name is, you gotta assume he had some assurances that he'd be given some big money to spend soon to get what he wants.

Finishing 5th would be a best case scenario for Liverpool.

 

[Halladay]

Think they finish 7th at best.

 

[Blender]

As other have stated, what is Klopp expected to do with that squad? A 5th-8th finish is a completely reasonable finish for them. Klopp will have to really make his mark as a manager by how he rebuilds that squad.

 

[Edo]

Jack Butland is quite a bit better than Simon Mignolet.

 

[Savant]

Jack Butland is quite a bit better than Simon Mignolet.

I don't think anyone is debating that.

 

[Cassano]

Stokealona fans chanting "Aaron Ramsey he walks with a limp".

Classy bunch.

 

[Jeffrey]

If I was in charge of Liverpool the first guy on my to get list would be Sergio Rico.

 

[booyakasha]

Stokealona fans chanting "Aaron Ramsey he walks with a limp".

Classy bunch.

...such a disgrace.

Inbred, cro-mag scum...and they prove it, as to remove all doubt with their antics.

 

[Jussi]

Stokealona fans chanting "Aaron Ramsey he walks with a limp".

Classy bunch.

Apparently Ramsey turning down Shawcross' apology didn't go down well with them.

 

[Edo]

I would totally be okay with Arsenal selling Walcott. I haven't seen him play a good 90 minutes in a long time, and he's just been treading water this season whenever on.

Would only sell if they find a good replacement for him.

 

[booyakasha]

Ox not looking good...Failed experiment in that role.

 

[bluesfan94]

You can see how much Arsenal misses the final pass of Özil

 

[Scandale du Jour]

He indeed looks like **** playing a more central position.

Great saves by Cech, wow!

 

[Cassano]

Yep. He's carried them all season. They wouldn't be in a UCL spot without him.
