The Liverpool Thread

[Scouseinthehouse]

..... and no our overknackered teams get to do it all again and chase Europe.. ****.

Honestly, I'd like to see us give all the promising kids a run out Wednesday, mix them up with the lads that didn't play yesterday and get the important guys rested for Utd.

Congratulations mate. Can't really complain with the loss as bitterly disappointing as it is.

As long as we DONT play Demichelis i'm happy, or kids did really well without him and Will (but redeemed) we've a few injjuries coming back Bony/Magala/Zaba should we should be a decent mix of 2nd string and kids i think.

Regardless of Mingolet, can you afford his wages as that? First team salaried player sat on the bench getting little to no game time?

Why was Bogdan on the bench yesterday anyone?

If somebody wants him and we can get another goalkeeper in then no problem, but I think he would be a decent back-up purely on ability

The thing is, when Mignolet got that contract, that wasn't protectionism, Klopp genuinely wants him to stay. whether that will change by end of season is another thing.

When he costs us another 10 points by the end of the season Im sure it will change, haha.

Struggle to believe he's ever truly believed that regardless of what's he's said publicly. Everyone had the shock and anger when it was announced, but when that calms and you look at it protecting themselves is the only explanation that makes any semblance of sense.

Klopp doesn't play that game, had the same thing with Weidenfeller at Dortmund.

Well, we'll see going forward but I struggle to buy he truly believed he was good enough after this year after seeing him make costly mistake after costly mistake first hand before he got the extension.

If he is here starting next season then I honestly don't know what's going on. But I know like the majority I won't be happy about it to say the least. Yesterday's 'Mingolet mistake costs L'pool' is something that's been a constant for going on four years now and it's past worn thin that's nothing's been done about it.

*Edit* That was one of the things I'd tried rationalise as regards the contract extension. That maybe he looked on it like Dortmund that he could get by with an average 'keeper and prioritise surrounding him with bigger, better players but yesterday again showed he's way too much of a liability to even get away with that. We should be talking about him having a great game with at least 3 top draw saves. Instead, that's all undone by letting in a shot through him me Ma would of made a better fist at stopping.

This situation has exact parallels with Wiedenfeller, and so far he has done the same thing. whether than changes is one thing. But that contract will have been offered in genuine faith.

I feel sorry for Mignolet. He's clearly not good enough but this constant criticism of him can't be doing him any good.

Well, not exactly the same thing. Weidenfeller was actually pretty **** good in his time, he just got old.

he's only 35 now tbf

.....

Happy with the European draw?

Or thinking it's as horrendously bad as most of us are?

Gutting disappointment at losing aside, did you all enjoy the final experience?

How dare you compare any goalkeeper to Mignolet. He's an insult to the profession.

It was a good day, result a side.

Made friends with the fella sitting next to me and we're now facebook friends! Atmosphere was really good. Thought we completely out sung City on every front and would loved to have seen what we looked like when Coutinho tooked home.

The train was back was a ******* nightmare. Couldn't find a seat so had to stand like a muppet for over 3 hours because of delays while we were on the rail.

Player performance wise;

Mignolet - Cancer.

Milner - Useless **** who can't cross a ball, out of his depth at the club

Lallana - Managed to come on, hit the post from a yard out, get embarrassed by Yaya and then miss his pen.

Studge - Didn't turn up.

Origi - Our man of the match, and he didn't come on until the 80th minute. Surely he'll get a chance now, he's been fantastic from the bench in recent weeks.



Need some major signings for next season. Can't fault the players effort, I don't think any of them had their fingers up their arses, but some just aren't good enough to be at the club.

Glad you enjoyed it for the most part.

Yup, there was no comparison between the two ends. From the variety of our banners through the vocal. All the pyro when Phil equalised just topped it off.

Been amusing me reading people narking about the all but empty end when the players went up for the losers medals ..... only one thing to blame there. ******* Sky. If they weren't so busy trying to get in two live games, the game would of kicked off at a reasonable time and nobody would of been left screwed on the trains. We barely made ours and there were lads around me leaving through extra time as to try make their trains. Another example of how little consideration is given to the match going fan.

Yeah my cousin missed their 8pm train. I booked the 9.21pm one in case of pens!! But was there at 9 when another left so I just jumped on that with my cousin. This train was chocker though

So we're interested in... Leno, Fahrman, that Augsburg goalie, Gotze (apparently), a Polish Udinese midfielder (can't spell his name, begins with 'z'), and benteke turned down the chance to go to China in January and is getting the chop in the summer

Despite the result, a class day out.

It was just a shame none of our attacking players got into any rhythm... It seemed Man City were certainly there for the taking!
