UnderFreddy posted:i don't really see any other conclusion to the way the transfer window has gone The other clue is that they hired Rangnick to be the interim coach to train the players to do things that contemporary football players do like "pressing" and "tracking back", and after a few months of trying fruitlessly to do this he publicly said most of the players would have to be replaced. The club subsequently canceled his consultancy. The club probably made it clear to the new manager applicants that they wanted minimal squad turnover, but their minds were changed by watching the Fred and McTominay in those first two matches. Even if the media reports are only half correct they went from browsing for bargains to full on panic bidding very quickly after the early results.

I’m still super mad about that whole game. It was surreal watching it and surreal remembering it. Arsenal were three two up on aggregate when rvp got sent off as well. Not just nasri got choked that game either, RvP was as well. Barcelona received zero bookings that match.

Between that and the Chelsea one, they had to have been bribing refs back then, right?

  Didn't Van Persie get his first yellow for the second one as well? Barcelona were always protected by the refs but good lord that evening was something special.

There are a lot of matches with insane reffing across the whole thing but yeah the RVP one was maybe the most bizarre single incident I can remember watching At least crooked pens or reds you can imagine maybe they had a terrible angle or had a small stroke and missed the incident and just relied on an assistant ref half the pitch away to relay what happened or something

Clearly all Abidal is trying to do is silence the curse Van Persie is putting on his liver. Alas, just weeks later Abidal was struck down with liver cancer.

Bust out those graph jpgs, here we go... It's only the third week but that performance on Monday was really concerning. Players looked mentally and physically fatigued and I'm getting big time "cycling off" deja vu. From back in January 2021: TheRat posted:http://backpagefootball.com/why-liverpool-wont-win-the-premier-league-this-season/126313/ and from the replies then: vyelkin posted:He uses the phrase caffeine "and other substances" a lot in there. I'm seeing the same problem I bolded above too. Losing Mané is going to be huge. Salah is still extremely dangerous cutting in from the right, but he isn't the type of player who can move into the middle and make things happen for the team. Núñez seems to be more of a replacement for Firmino while Díaz is the new left-sided player and it'll take a while to develop the chemistry that the front three had in 2019-2020. Another bonus post-snip from the same time: Eric Cantonese posted:Every player has gone off the boil at once and it's hard to know when or if they'll get back to being as good as they used to be. Squad players are either just not good enough, like Origi and Shaqiri, or perpetually injured and unable to contribute strongly, like Keita and Ox.( Arguably, some of the squad players - including the ones I just mentioned) are both of those things.) We're still relying on Keita and Ox, and the squad depth isn't a whole lot better. Jones is good, Tsimikas is decent, however Gomez at RB? Philipps at CB? I like Harvey Elliot but he's not at the level required yet and Carvalho might be alright but I haven't seen much of him this season tbf. Outside of Jones and Elliot, the midfield is about 32 years old with Fabinho the youngest of them at 28 and Klopp's already rotating one or two of them at around the 60 minute mark in each match so far. Doesn't say good things about fitness levels. Fixture congestion sucks yeah but it hasn't even started yet. Plus it's not a surprise and everyone has to deal with it so there has to be a solution instead of just moaning about it every week. Maybe the plan is to have the whole squad injured so they don't get selected for the World Cup and then stage a 2nd half comeback? Feels like we're going to finish with around 70-75 points and in the 4th place trophy group.

Yeah, I suspect this year is the transition year, where they work out if Eliiot and Jones can cut it in midfield, if any of the young defenders can cover vvd and matip, and bedding in nunez and Diaz. Sucks, but I guess the club won't throw £200m at midfielders into the teeth of the City buzz saw

Liverpool aren't going to break 60 points unless they start playing seriously better. 7 games in a row now is it where they have conceded first, that is simply unsustainable if they want to be winning games regularly. Maybe smashing Bournemouth this weekend will raise morale.
