I'll try matey, I'll try

Only 4 players have reached 100 Premier League goals quicker than Mo Salah... but does he improve us @The Liquidator

Trent did actually play in midfield coming through the youth ranks. But yeah, I agree with everything else.

Nah.. we substituted Robertson because he'd been injured and this was his first game game back and was looking really tired. Nothing to do with anything else.

Apparently he's had an assistant working alongside him for a while now so hopefully he'll be able to carry on the good work.

Coutinho, Suarez, Torres... we nearly always get top dollar.

Unless a player becomes available at the right price that we simply can't turn our back on, I don't think we will sign anyone to be honest, and I'm not sure I want us to. Harvey Elliott obviously has bags and bags of potential and I'm really excited about seeing him develop. I don't really want to see that development slowed down to be honest. Mane, Salah, Jota and Bobby will play nearly every league and CL games, so who do we bring in anyway? Not many players will want to come here knowing they will spend a large chunk of their time on the bench. In short... I don't think we need anyone else.

Yeah, I mean with 10 games to go it looked like we had no chance of securing 4th, never mind 3rd. But Klopp and his staff found a winning solution and rallied to win 8 and draw 2 to do just that. So yeah, it is a bit strange saying Davies should have been thrown into the team as some sort of token gesture

Why's that? He was brought in on loan, got injured, then couldn't get into a side that won about 8 out of their last 10 games. What's disgraceful about that? Unless you're suggesting we should have just thrown him in as a token gesture.

Looks like that's what he's doing with less than 12 months on his current contract.

Imagine if we pulled this off! We can dream https://www.thesportreview.com/2021/08/ian-mcgarry-kylian-mbappe-is-interested-in-liverpool-fc-move/

He does the same every summer. Gets the press/fans talking about lack of signings.. then let's Edwards go about his business signing players under the radar.

Yeah i agree, could definitely have seen Salah move on if the right offer came in. As you say, nobody could afford our best players now, them from abroad anyway.

I think that goes for everyone tbh

Let's see. With the money those around us are spending they should blow us out of the water. Klopp yesterday: -"I’m very happy with the squad, that doesn’t mean we don’t look at the market. We have a big squad and something might still happen before the end of the transfer window but I can’t say anything at the moment,” he said I'll bump this conversation near the end of the season.

VVD and Alisson were signed in the same window, Keita in a different window and Thiago was signed last summer. How as our recruitment been 'mediocre' since then? You're talking shite mate. We didn't just have 'one injury' at all, again that is absolute bollocks. At one point last season we had our whole first team back 4 out injured at the same time, Allisson also spent a chunk of the season sidelined, Fabinho and Henderdon had to play CB before both suffered long spells out injured. Thiago didn't play for 3 months after signing due to injury, Keita couldn't deputise due to injury, along with Ox and we had to rely on youngsters such as Curtis Jones and veterans such as Milner (who also picked up an injury during that time). After dealing with all that, we still managed to pick up more points than any other team in the league during the last 10 games of the season to cement 3rd place. It was only a 4 - 6 week period where a freak run of home losses totally fucked our season. Before that horrible run we were top of the league and after that run we picked up more points than anyone else in the league. But yeah, 1 injury and we are totally fucked. Like I said... talking complete shite!

So much shite being spouted in here.

Klopp said after the game today that Elliot will take a spot in the squad this season. He also hinted at a new signing coming in.

I dont know, but Klopp and Edwards don't usually dissapoint so I'll reserve judgement on our business in about a months time, not now.

I've said it was a gamble that backfired already. I don't see the point in complaining about it a year later though to be honest. And again... there is plenty of time for new signings yet but as has been mentioned 4 or 5 times already, we can't recruit until a few have been shifted. Origi and Shaq are obviously finished here, just need to get them out the door for decent fees.

We did invest in the side after winning the league. We signed Thiago and Jota. As i said, there's a month of this transfer window left yet. This is hardly the time to be complaining about lack of signings, especially when we don't even have room in the squad for any.

Exactly!! We can't bring anymore foreign players in until we have cleared out some current foreign players. See you know this yet some are still screaming and shouting for new players. Let's just see what happens in the next few weeks and pick up this discussion then.

Ok in hindsight it was a gamble not replacing Lovren, a gamble that backfired. But come on.. nobody could have forseen the injury crisis that would occur in Central defence. We have replaced Lovren now and there is still a month left to offload some players and bring 1 or 2 in. I just don't get the panic you all expose every single summer when by and large we have an excellent recruitment record.

We wouldn't have been short in defence had 3 CB's not suffered season ending injuries. Ffs come on. Jota was signed to provide competition for the front 3 and even he was out for 3 months injured. There is still a month of the transfer window left open. No need to shit yourself just yet is all I'm saying.

You're not daft Gonzo, you know full well the circumstances surrounding last season. You don't need me to spell it out for you.
