I'm just gonna point this out next time someone yells at me for calling the league cup Mikey mouse. 

Not having a go at your take at all, but it does illustrate a point. 

Oh I’m in agreement with you mostly, because I think it  diminishes the FA cup. That being said, I was happy when Liverpool won it, because it is a trophy, and seen a semi ‘major’ one at that. 

[OrangeKhrush]

Dietmar Hamman suggesting Liverpool get Joelinton like the good ol days when we were stepping stone United.   there are two chances of that happening, fuck and all.

stats wise it looks like Fabinho and This to had great games and in general all of Liverpool's players had good games so I looked at the methodology and it's scewed towards attacking play.    

defensively Liverpool have become unrecognizable, Leeds forced Liverpool into a cramped central orientated game and outright murdered them on the flanks normally a Liverpool strategy.   the last goal sees a winger get past 3 defenders without any trickery, just basic running through and the three pool defenders just gave up then VD gets isolated against 2 Leeds players.   

Liverpool are dead last in tackle success rates which is probably the biggest reason to their struggles, but the team that played in Paris seems to be physically and mentally gone.

or Klopp leaves on his own

He can come to us if Conte leaves, with open arms.

interesting analysis, hard to say a guy with 4 or so goals can be considered a bad thing but the explanation is worth it

Apparently Klopps had his first warning from your board so you might be about to splash out on a manager if things don't pick up. anything outside a CL place could see Klopp finished

First warning?

Hes just been awarded the freedom of the City of Liverpool.

Just what a read in a newspaper thought id come and have a little fish ha, we know the media lies to sell papers and half the news in them is made up stories what a fucked up world we live in

Jurgen Klopp on what Liverpool means to him: ⠀
⠀
"When I was younger, I knew the Beatles came from here and they have a great football club. The Scousers are very friendly, very open, very warm.⠀
⠀
"My wife and my sons are much more involved in society as I am and they are over the moon about how warm and helpful the people are. Since I was a kid, I loved football but I always knew there were more important things in life.⠀
⠀
"The only problem is during the 90 minutes I never felt it - it was the most important thing in life. When you are a part, a member, a fan, of the right club, you are really sucked in. I had that already in slightly different ways in Mainz and Dortmund.⠀
⠀
"Here Liverpool is the heart of football. Liverpool is music and football. It's good because we all work enough. Life must be as well some distraction as well from our day duties and as much as I can help with that, is as much as I want to help with that.⠀
⠀
"Who would have thought I would get any key to a city! When I first found out, I didn't understand it in the first place. I'm not 100% sure we have these things in Germany so someone needed to explain it to me.⠀
⠀
"Piece by piece I understood it and I felt a thought of pride I've never felt before, it was really strange. But I tell you I will take it and I will keep it, forever, in my mind and my heart."⠀

part of me will curious if some dodgy money comes in, whether there will be a "moral dilemma".  I'm going in the other thread but it seems like some are not opposed to it.

The cost of stability is that eventually it catches up,  Liverpool have the 3rd oldest team in the league and grandfather time affects people differently.   There are a lot of variables that could not be predicted but they knew two years ago that most of the "stars" are in their prime to regression years,  players from 29-33 years are lottery tickets to grandfather time.   Arsenal took the youth rebuild approach and will be good for a very long time because of it.

Eh he's not really progressed much since his breakout season - I think it's hard to say he's a "key" part of our present right now. He's really got a lot to do if he wants to hold down a regular place in the side.

[LFCMike]

I like him. The injuries have halted his progression but hopefully he can put them behind him now and be available a lot more often.

Diaz has gotten injured again, needs surgery and out until March. Our luck is a joke. 
 

Thiago, Matip, Jones & Keita all missing from latest training. What is it with these select few, it’s shocking that list can’t stay fit.

Richie Partridge on Jurgen Klopp:

“I remember standing on the side of the pitch [during the 2019 Club World Cup]. Jurgen came over to me and he was just looking around at the skyline and he said ‘Ah, you’re going to be here soon.’

“And I said ‘Yeah, gaffer, I wanted to speak to you about it’ [taking a job with the Qatar national team] and he just stopped me in my tracks and said ‘Richie, I 100 per cent totally understand why you’ve done it. Go and make the most of it because you deserve it.’

“And that was it. A touch of class. He understands, like everyone at the club, that there’s life after Liverpool, that there’s life after football.

“What you see is what you get. [Klopp] wears his heart on his sleeve, he speaks openly. He’s one of the most genuine people you could come across if you were having an issue, be it work or family related. If you went to speak to him he would 100 per cent back you." #lfc [irish independent via liverpool echo]

Nice to see Darwin come straight back in and get a couple of goals. Do his confidence some good before Thursday. 

[Dr. Gonzo]

hope we fucking smash City though. That open letter from both clubs to both fans sort of pissed me off and managed to make me hate City more

PSV have announced that both clubs have agreed a deal for Cody Gakpo. This is very welcome news.

Well, Gakpo being prolific himself will maybe take a little bit of pressure off of Darwin to score, which could do him wonders. Hopefully. Darwin has had to play a hybrid winger/centre forward role so far so it’ll be nice getting him down the centre. 
 

Now we REALLY need a CM.

I think hes going to compliment Nunez honestly. One is a total running engine while the other finds himself in positions to take advantage of the situation. Now all we need is Jota back to fitness to offer some linkage.
