The BigFooty Liverpool Army

Martinez sounds like he would be perfect for us, but is too established and proven for our owners. They only seem prepared to buy established players if they are English. Otherwise it's just young and undervalued players who may or may not come good. If we sign anyone it'll be the Berahino/Delph types.

Raheem Sterling wins the Golden Boy Award for the best U21 player in Europe. Congratulations and well deserved, he joins an illustrious group of former winners including Rooney, Messi, Fabregas, Aguero, Götze, Isco, Pogba and current team mate Mario Balotelli.

Outstanding company to be in, I have faith that should we pull the finger out he'll stay around a while on wages he deserves. People may slag him off for rejecting 70k/week but he's the best player in a top English football side at how old, deserves all he can get.

Cracking goal from Benteke, unfortunately manure equalised

People really do that? That's the kind of money Lovren gets, and Johnson gets 30k p/w more than that ffs.

Originally I was against it because of his age but when you think about it, he would probably be perfect. He is the type of signing that would bridge the gap. He is 28 so you get 3-4 years out of him, all in his prime. In those 3-4 years we get continued improvement and development from Sterling, Ibe, Markovic, Moreno, Can, Origi etc...

I'd be all for Martinez and Sturridge up front. Then from next season, we have back up options in Origi and Balotelli. That's a really good front 4 strikers, and every team wanting to get anywhere needs 4 quality strikers IMO.

My boy's back!

 

[JohnnyDrama1]

rumoured line up is the same we had against Bournemouth but Sakho in place of Lovren

 

[FAITH]

will marquee be in the stadium?

To put 3-4 years in context... What did we have luis for? 2.5?

January 2011-July 2014.

3.5 I believe.

 

[jod23]

Nervous about tonights game. Lose are we are 11 points behind United and 10 behind West Ham and 4th spot. We would be 8 behind Arsenal and 6 behind Spurs. That's not even mentioning Everton, Southampton, Newcastle and Swansea who are all above us too.

Win though and we close the gap to 3 behind Spurs, we would be just two behind Arsenal and 7 points off West Ham and 4th.

Make or break time.

 

[Zidane98]

3.5 I believe.

2.5 after suspensions!!

 

[VelvetSledge]

So how are we all feeling?

Weirdly confident, but also fully expecting a loss. Sakho back in will be a boost.

I think if our team plays like a unit and shuts down Sanchez we might escape with a draw.

If we are wasteful and Rodgers plays his stupid tactics we might get smashed.

 

[Zidane98]

28 is a player in their prime, what's wrong with that? More than a few years in him

Resale value. FSG want players they can get a return on when they finish their careers at LFC.

Haven't we established that their supposed policy is awful?

 

[matt_bas]

I'm hoping for a good game, 3-1 to us with a Sterling double

Not confident. Will probably lose. But that's par for the course with Liverpool at the minute.

If Rodgers plays 3 at the back but doesnt play Lucas in front. Ill lose my s**t.

 

[Zidane98]

Lucas surely must play. Not sure I like Hendo playing at WB. His passing range is wasted out there and his ability to press.

 

[Andonis1997]

Horrible time slot, unfortunately not watching it due to needing sleep for tomorrow.

3-1 to the Arses.

 

[simba_]

late change for sunderland, coates into the tynewear derby, hope it's another cracka!!!!

 

[jod23]

I hope Coates scores. I want Newcastle to lose.

Replicates his bicycle kicked her scored for us a couple of years back.
