Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.

Yeah I'm getting a bit lost between the gin and all the hot takes in here. Lovren's been fine for most of the season but he is limited, I don't think I'd ever be comfortable calling him world class but as a third or fourth choice he'd be absolutely fine.

I suppose the good news about this game is it's really highlighted what we need to improve for the summer. Another choice up front, midfield reinforcements (/replacements for Can), and two new keepers.
I mean, are there better CB's than Lovren? Ya of course, but I think its pretty clear now more than ever that there are bigger needs than CB. Truthfully I'm not sure what the status of our young CB's is, if anyone is ready to step up?

I can't stop watching the Karius howlers, there are just no words. The first one actually bothers me more, I just have no idea what the gently caress he is doing.

We lost because Madrid were all over us in the second half and everyone in the team lost their heads as soon as Salah went off. There were so many times between the 25th-85th minute when Liverpool could have tried to counter or compress space, except they couldn't play directly enough or with a high enough tempo to try and create chances.

Liverpool have a great starting 10 (see what I did there?) and pretty miserable bench options. Its not a deep squad. We played well for losing our Golden Boot winner 25 minutes in.

It's something I've been thinking about a lot recently (because I have a lot of free time at work). One of the Liverpool Echo journos (can't remember which, not Pearcey) is absolutely convinced that we'll go in to next season with VVD and Gomez as our first choice which I don't really believe. There is also rumours that Klavan has some serious injury problem that is going to force his retirement from the international team in the summer and possibly end his career. Currently our depth is:

VVD-Lovren
Matip-Klavan
Gomez

Matip hasn't looked good this season so I wouldn't be surprised if we sold him tbh. If him and Klavan go then we need at least one, probably two defenders and I don't think there's another kid that can step up. By the sounds of it we're interested in Lascelles and Tarkowski so maybe we'll get both and see if either are better than Lovren?

If we are going to spend 50m on a "next 8+ years" keeper then I'd rather it not be the guy we put 7 goals past over a CL tie. That was the most I've watched of him this season and nothing he did screamed world class.

I miswrote most of what I was trying to say because I was phone typing, but I was attempting to say that even as a Liverpool fan, I thought it was hilarious because of Karius' well overdue gently caress ups and because Big Ron's Big Moment was stopped by a very lame pitch invasion that ended the match.

So like whatever you said might be true but that stuff wasn't funny, it was just standard football.

Unless I'm forgetting someone good, I think "first choice keeper for Brazil" has not been very impressive since Taffarel.

Ronaldo's best two pieces of work tonight chasing the ball down the left wing and then laying it off to somebody in the middle. I'm pretty sure you don't need to pay his wages to find somebody who can do that for you. He looks a step too slow and over the hill.


Apart from the single attacking run and cut in with shot from the right-wing in the first half he did not look like anything special
