i really thought our signings last season were good and addresed a lot of holes in the squad but then it turned out bilic straight up couldnt coach a defense

yeah he seems like a player who is not good enough to carry a team on his own, but if he's in a squad with other players to draw defenders off him he can be pretty handy. the price is right too

I usually refer to him as oval office, because he's got a proper hosed up attitude.
Just look at his track record whenever he was in an actual good team, he just can't keep up but doesn't realize it. He should go to one of the Manchester or London teams and not sully the Liverpool name.

Totaly agree, not like anything important is happening yet in training with the WC going on. Just make this happen within a few days please.

Hazard and TBO looked amazing in the WC. Hopefully a new manager and a few new players gives them a fresh view of the club.

I am quite pleased with the Shaqiri business, should it be completed. I have always rated him and had hoped Liverpool would pick him up following his time at Bayern. If we lock him up at £13m on decent wages it allows for some maintenance elsewhere in the shape of defensive upgrades.

Shaqiri is fine as a "first off the bench" player and I'd much prefer seeing him start ahead of Solanke or Ings.

Kinda crazy how it was reported earlier this summer that Arsenal's budget was £50m, then that Kroenke kicked in another £20m, and now Ornstein says we're done when we're right at £71m.

His time at Bayern wasn't atrocious. He was marched out at odd times and also had transitioned from the mighty Raiffeisen Super League, which everyone knows is the most technically demanding, defensive oriented and perpetually tactically-progressive league on Earth. There is a reason Big Ronnie steered well clear of the RSL.

His time at Inter, yes. He was generally a sullen little stump unable to waddle his way towards dominance- which always struck me as odd. If the lad dons the mighty red of Merseyside, well... he's OUR sullen little stump and we'll ballyhoo him to a 15 goal haul from the Kop end and sale him for a tidy profit.

Look, I like Shaqiri a lot, but he's moving like a headless chicken on the pitch not because of coaching style, it's because he has no footballing brains.
