He's got to be careful with it, because as Mourinho learned... the media might have loved it once, but they've pretty much turned on him even though he's always been a moany bastard. He's probably just got to stay on good terms with the journos and he'll get more leeway. Managers not friendly with the press tend to have public opinion very easily swayed against them when things are going wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFCMadLad 2,080 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Just watched a replay of today's game on a fairly decent stream and I have to say that Fabinho is going to be an absolute beast for us. Klopp yet again choosing the perfect time to bed a new player into an already very good team. Him, Gini and Salah were all excellent today. A full week to prepare for Arsenal which I think might be our biggest test so far this season. If we get through that game with all 3 points I'll have to start thinking that we have a chance of winning the league or come very close. The standard of the top 6 in this league though is so high that even finishing in the top 4 is a challenge in itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at the table at the start of the round and realised it was possible for man city and tottenham to switch places in the table just from results in one week. First could drop to fifth and fifth could move to first. That's pretty darn awesome in terms of it being game on this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The project specifically supports Alder Hey patients who have Cystic Fibrosis. The power of football and the LFC badge are used to encourage them to partake in plenty of physical activity, which is critical to improving the quality of life and increasing the life expectancy of children living with the condition. Jürgen recently visited Alder Hey to learn about the MOVE project; meeting patient, Carson Kehoe (13) and Physiotherapist in Cystic Fibrosis, Adam Walsh; who were both guests at the lavish event in Liverpool Cathedral. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/jürgen-klopp’s-charity-dinner-raises-£50000/ar-BBPZY2T?ocid=chromentp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,360 Posted November 23, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) How do Mane, Firmino and Salah compare to Europe's best front threes? Jamie Smith 28 mins ago Sadio Mane's new contract confirmed Liverpool should be able to rely on the Senegal forward, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino for many years to come. All three attackers have agreed on new long-term deals in 2018 as Liverpool build towards a trophy under Jurgen Klopp, having lost two major European finals under the German. Klopp believes his front three can match any front line in world football, with Mane alone having scored 40 goals in 89 appearances since signing from Southampton in 2016. Here, we assess some of the other lauded front threes from Europe's top five leagues in recent years to see where Mane, Firmino and Salah rank. Mane, Firmino, Salah - Liverpool Liverpool's front three all scored 10 goals in the Champions League last season but, after Salah was injured by a clash with Sergio Ramos during the final, holders Real Madrid profited with the help of two awful Loris Karius errors. Mane, Firmino, and Salah developed into one of European football's most fearsome strikeforce the last term, though, and they have now scored 71 Premier League goals between them from 137 appearances since the start of 2017-18. Salah leads the way with 38 of those goals, while his 13 assists during the same timeframe also beat Firmino's nine and Mane's seven. In total, they record 0.52 goals per game between them in the Premier League, providing 0.21 assists. Messi, Suarez, Neymar - Barcelona Perhaps the best front three European football has seen in the modern era was the Barcelona trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar, who had three seasons together between 2014 and 2017. Their goals per game stands at an incredible 0.84 for LaLiga matches alone, with Messi's 106 goals leading the way from Suarez's 85 and the 59 contributed by Neymar. What was special about the 'MSN' is the unselfish way they appeared to play for each other, as shown by the fact Messi's 43 assists is the same number as Suarez's, with Neymar's 30 not far behind. With 250 goals scored in 299 LaLiga appearances, it is clear from the Opta numbers that Messi, Suarez, and Neymar are the trio to beat. Neymar, Cavani, Mbappe - PSG Apparently, to move out of Messi's shadow at Camp Nou, Neymar joined Paris Saint-Germain in a world-record transfer last August, immediately forming a new world-class attack with Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe. Their goals per game record is almost identical to the MSN at 0.83, but it should be noted PSG's opposition in Ligue 1 is probably weaker overall than the teams Barca play in Spain's top-flight. Cavani is now PSG's record goalscorer and since the start of the 2017-18 season, he has scored 36 Ligue 1 goals to Neymar's 29 and Mbappe's 24 in the same period. But Neymar has provided 18 assists for his team-mates, with Mbappe on 12 and Cavani just seven. Neymar to Cavani is the most successful partnership in the trio despite rumors they do not get on, as this has created nine goals in all competitions in the last 15 months of action, while Cavani has returned the favor on only two occasions. Benzema, Bale, Ronaldo - Real Madrid Around the same era as the MSN at Barcelona, Real Madrid had the 'BBC' - made up of Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, and Cristiano Ronaldo, until the latter's departure to Juventus in a shock deal this July. Between 2013-14 and 2017-18 this trio scored a combined 307 goals in 435 LaLiga appearances for a goals-per-game ratio of 0.71, a significant drop on the 'MSN' and PSG numbers. Rather predictably it was Ronaldo who was the top goalscorer in that time with an amazing 165 goals in 157 league games, also adding 47 assists, more than either Bale or Benzema mustered in that period. Ronaldo's numbers were so immense it is no surprise Madrid, Champions League winners in each of the last three seasons, has struggled since his sale, resulting in the sacking of Julen Lopetegui after four months at the helm. Callejon, Mertens, Insigne - Napoli Perhaps the best-attacking trio in Serie A in recent years has been at Napoli where Jose Callejon, Dries Mertens, and Lorenzo Insigne pushed Juventus incredibly hard for the title the last term under Maurizio Sarri's leadership. But Opta numbers show it took the trio time to click. Since the start of the 2013-14 season, they have contributed a total of 182 goals from 558 appearances in the league. It should be noted, however, that for much of this time they did not operate as a regular front three together, as it was only last season Mertens was selected by Sarri in the middle of a fluid attacking line. All three players have scored at least 50 Serie A goals since 2013-14, with Mertens out in front on 75, while the 43 assists racked up by Callejon in that time edges out Insigne's 42. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/how-do-mane-firmino-and-salah-compare-to-europes-best-front-threes/ar-BBQ1kaS Edited November 23, 2018 by CaaC - John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Cats and dogs will not be exported anywhere. This won't happen and can't happen," he tweeted, alongside images of his pet Siamese cats. Animal rights activists reacted with anger over the decision, with many calling for the practice to end.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,360 Posted December 5, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted December 5, 2018 Liverpool: Andy Robertson can be future Reds captain, says Virgil van Dijk By Daldeep Kaur for BBC Sport Scotland 10 minutes ago | Liverpool Van Dijk and Robertson are both key components of Liverpool's defence Andy Robertson is on track to become a future Liverpool captain, believes team-mate Virgil van Dijk. The former Queen's Park and Dundee United left-back has played 48 games since joining from Hull City in 2017, including the Champions League final. Already, captain of his country, the 24-year-old has led Scotland six times since taking the role in September. "If he keeps improving he will [captain Liverpool]," Dutch international Van Dijk told BBC Scotland. "He's already a leader. You don't need an armband to be a leader for this team. "He's doing very well, he's made incredible steps in his career and he just needs to keep doing what he's doing." 'I'm always grateful to Celtic' Like Robertson, Van Dijk has become a cult hero at the Merseyside club following his £75m move from Southampton in January. Prior to his stratospheric rise in England, the Dutchman was a regular in Celtic's defence. Joining the Scottish champions as a 21-year-old in 2013 from Groningen, the unknown young defender transformed himself on the way to winning two Premiership titles and a Scottish League Cup. It was a two-year period that Van Dijk admits helped shape his future. "Celtic helped me a lot in making my move to Southampton," he said. "I'm always grateful for that. "It was a great time for me in my development. Three years abroad adapting to the British style of play and winning trophies for such a big club with amazing fans." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46434770 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
