For the analytical geeks among you, this is another great video that simply explains everything L'pool fans have been seeing over the past year. The very intricate, yet simple plan behind our system of play and how it's evolving into a true Jurgen Klopp side:

This is sad news, he can't be much older than me, hope he can recover.

Hope he pulls through. Such sad news.

Meant to mention in case you missed it he came out of his coma from the stroke thankfully on Tuesday. And now he's been flown into Paris for specialist treatment.

Had a look at shot maps the other day and Mané looks like 2013/14 Hazard plus minus the key passes. He's running hot on scoring this season and won't score at the same rate but don't be suprised to see him as one of your top scorers. His shot volume of 2.3 per game is quite good for a wide player and suggests he could get 15-20 league goals a season.

Goals and assists don't do Hazard justice in 2014/15. He ran the attack.

Looking at more wide players, I compared with Sterling, Barkley, Walcott, Messi and:

Jesus Christ! That's actually shocking. Imagine if he actually started shooting.

Walcott and Sterling look like reborn players this season.

Koeman has somehow gotten Ross Barkley to stop dribbling and lose the ball more at the same time. Beats me how Deulofeu doesn't play.

He's a good player and that's it. Not good enough to compare with the others.

I compared to Messi for perspective. Messi is like having a world class no 9,10 and 11 all in one.
 
Firmino looks really good. Anyone wanna guess who Coutinho profiles like? It does seem that he's been better than the thus far hyped De Bruyne this season. He has literally been just incredible.
 
Happy first anniversary Reds of the single best thing to happen to our football club in 56 years.

A French friend sent me this great quote over night. That, along with some more in Cruyff's autobiography released yesterday, speaks to the massive part why our club was the ONLY club for him to come back to after Dortmund. Ourselves.

" It is passed from generation to generation. We often see at the stadium grandfathers with their grandsons. It starts automatically. When the grandson will have his own child he will take him to the stadium. I find there a great similarity with Liverpool, I spent some time in Liverpool and I know the history of Liverpool we're alike but not with the same means (financial power)- but in the spirit and the values we are very similar to Liverpool " Christophe Galtier. (Current Coach, St Etienne.).

This is just perfect today to what set's him apart and why we love him so much.

The normal fella'. Playing bowls at his local Church club in Formby. Priceless. XD.

It's just hit me looking at the England side and no Clyne ('Injured' my ****); we have all our back 4 and 'keeper at the club over the International break for two solid weeks training and working together.

Nice.


That's a Ferguson move that. Pull players from meaningless friendlies and simple nomark qualifiers under the 'pretence' they're injured. Then work the **** off them in training.

Who said the International break was a waste of time? Haha.

I just hope Lovren is back for the united game as we know they will be hitting balls into the box constantly.
 
They'll need to get out of their own half first ......
