Stepgar Posted 4 April, 2013 Share Posted 4 April, 2013 Brendon has over achieved this season and I think he knows it. Every time I have watched the pool this season they have looked very average. Liverpool will be expected to challenging properly next year so I can see big movements up there with player turnaround. Just not sure Jay fits Liverpool. Ok, he may get more money, but I can't see him being a regular starter up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 4 April, 2013 Share Posted 4 April, 2013 Thought Rodgers said he wouldn't take any Swansea players? Other than Joe Allen I expect he meant then. On that subject a classic case of contracts meaning diddly squat, Allen signed until 2015 with Swansea last seasn but was off like a bolt of lightning when a "big club" and his ex-manager came calling. Football is a game where statements about loyalty and not doing something mean very little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to get the ball down, and have been ok. Not amazing but impressive all the same. I do think they need another CB, a keeper if Reina leaves, and maybe another midfielder, but all in all I think they have a decent squad. And they have some good talent coming through the academy and think Rodgers is the right man for the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 4 April, 2013 Share Posted 4 April, 2013 Jay's incessant running at defences and his willingness to work back and defend since MP has given him his real chance will not have escaped notice. A really changed player of late, he likes to run at defences and he looks as if he's got a bit of a brain so MP's approach seems to suit him well.

A really changed player of late, he likes to run at defences and he looks as if he's got a bit of a brain so MP's approach seems to suit him well. Agree, we certainly seem to be playing more direct with him in the side that we were before. Whether this is down to Poche's tactics or not, I don't know, but he didn't really get involved that much under Adkins. He just seemed to run the channels and get the ball and knock it back to the midfielders, whereas now he's turning and running at defences. It's exciting to watch. I remember seeing one of his goals last year on the FLS, which was similar to the Liverpool goal where he ran the length of the pitch. 7 secs in.... Clearly got talent and comes across as a good fit with his personality as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 4 April, 2013 Share Posted 4 April, 2013 He's clearly a confidence player, he had a good season last year scoring regularly, but a new team, new league and hefty price tag meant he got off to a slow start. It's taken him a little while to realise he can do the same sort of things in this league as he was in the championship. It means his thinking is a bit more clear now, earlier on in the season he looked a bit clueless, got the ball caught in his feet, taking too many touches etc. Now he's running at people and finishing first time. He's got all the attributes to be a top striker, pace, height, strength and good finishing. Needs to improve his technique a bit but he's still young, but we shouldn't get carried away. He's only scored 5 league goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted 4 April, 2013 Share Posted 4 April, 2013 The cheap red tops have spent so much energy on promoting their favoured clubs they have trouble coping with any change in the established order. The hacks at the star probably have no idea about SFC's financial position or that the club has no need to sell its players and that it has them on long contracts. J Rod is playing in a team that is better than Liverpool and he has as much chance here of European football as he would have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One only needs to look at the transfer of their beloved Rafa & King Kenny. :lol: Hilarious. £35m for Carroll, the same again on Henderson & Downing. £20m on a crocked player that managed about 4 appearances - the man supposed to be the replacement for Xabi Alonso! £18m on Robbie Keane, who was clearly already past his best. Staggering. I think someone posted a link or picture to a league table of wages recently, Barry. Though, I cannae remember where, or who (soz). But yeah, L'pool were pretty high up that list.

Liverpool sign so many players for high wages its bound to happen a few will be good (Torres,Suarez) but in the main they are **** at buying players and have been for years and its makes me laugh, they however still are a huge club that will turn most players heads if they come knocking, living in the City you only have to see the impact they have on tourism with fans coming from all the globe daily to see that ****ehole anfailed.

pingwing Posted 4 April, 2013 Share Posted 4 April, 2013 I'm sure they are sniffing around but will they have the £35m again? No chance so they can jog on and live with all their terrible buys (£10.5m of Borini anyone?).

No disputing the size of the club. I just like laughing at how inept they are. I do think their pull is on the decline. I think there are a few teams now, that players may see as a more attractive option, where it may have been the reverse a few years previously. For example, Tottenham. A lot of Liverpool's 'size' comes from their past, which is brilliant, but bares little significance for current players. They are going to struggle to be playing Champions League any time soon, in my opinion, which will put them on a rung below the likes of Utd, City, Chelsea, Spurs/Arsenal. They may well struggle to hang on the Suarez this summer, if a 'big club' make a serious move for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Charming Man Posted 4 April, 2013 Share Posted 4 April, 2013 Can't see him going there. If you ignore the fact that Liverpool are one of the true 'mega' clubs on the planet, have history and tradition that puts other clubs to shame, an over-flowing trophy cabinet, massive resources, one of the most famous grounds in the world and some world class players - I'd say we are a bigger club than them. I have no reasons or stats to back that up, I'm just using the SWF mentality and getting all giddy after a few decent wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
