Yeah everyone you buy needs to be a clear cut about what you have. Hugely difficult to pull off, because everyone will want a piece of said targets

Yeah, that's been a constant going right back to Houllier and more so Benitez. Filling the squad out with similar quality players and not improving on the average quality to start with. Quantity over quality has been our MO for WAY too long.

Thankfully, as the winter window showed in action, we now have a manager who knows what he's doing and knows how to build a squad who won't just buy for the sake of buying if it's not either improving on what we have, or players that don't fit what he requires.

I'd of loved to of seen how much different our squad would now look if it had been Klopp at the helm the last three years deciding things and not Rodgers/ 'The Committee' with all the money they've blown between them.

..... That means I'll end up with low quality **** streams. I'm a student ffs, I can't afford that kinda money for ~4 games a month. And there's not even a guarantee I get to see Liverpool, as they're only allowed to show one game on Saturdays 4pm (GMT+1). **** that. After this season, I'm gonna have to stick with stuttering streams with popups and all kinds of ****. Gee how I miss spending 30mins before each match looking for the best stream in an ocean of ****, I can't wait for that to become the norm again.

Sorry to here about the increase man, but am I just exceptionally lucky to get great streams 9 times out of 10?

Of late I've fallen back to my goto freebie site FirstRow and outside of some RAI pick-up's for Milan games (which I only have on the background down to being limited in Italian lol), I've been getting perfect streams everything I've been watching. Shrugs.

I agree, the Mignolet 5 year contract was a great commitment to Liverpool's future. :$
 
Is this *******, and his pay masters, for real? ..... Liverpool FC owners 'shaken' by accusations of greed over ticket prices - Liverpool Echo

****, only last week they tried it on again by initially pricing the Utd game at top whack, before a hasty climb down within a few hours after the fan backlash on social media and then both the SOS and United Supporters Trust jointly approaching the club to say 'WTF are you doing? AGAIN?' Not once, but TWICE in a matter of weeks you've been forced to backtrack on prices down to fan reaction over extortionate prices. . But you've been 'shaken' by accusations of greed huh like they aren't justified?

Here's a thought Ian ..... Start being smart, stop being such a bunch of underhand greedy bastards to start with and you wouldn't have to bow to any fan pressure.

I don't know, maybe there are better options out there now than when I used to stream a few years ago through myp2p.eu. I've just gotten so used to streaming in HD now that no matter how good a stream I find, it'll be a step down anyway.

But this insane money race has to end up with someone paying the bill. And that someone is us, regardless of if you're a season ticket holder or live on the other side of the world - in the end we're the ones paying for the ludicrous wages and transfers.
 
I can't wait for the Europa tie, you got to admit it's going to be massive because it's virtually both sides biggest hope for Champions League football next season.

Ultimately as a United fan I'm confident though, because we have the advantage of playing at your place first and killing the tie off with a few away goals.

Whilst I'm reticent to ever predict a victory over Utd the insane amount of luck you always get against us, if those two games go as the league games, with Sturridge on the end of the amount of chances that were missed; I'd be quietly confident of progressing. Law of averages says Van Gaal's run has to end sometime.

The atmosphere Anfield next Thursday is going to be something else.

And yeah, the biggest games in European competition this year outside the European Cup final bar NONE!

No one can get past the man mountain with a beard, sounds like I'm talking about Hagrid but I'm actually on about De Gea.

I would be happy your only serious threat Martial is out but listening to Sky the young kid is the new Messi/ Pele/ Cruyff rolled into one so you have got that .....

The biggest fear I'd have if I were you right now is knowing that this United side with youth will bring the unpredictability to the table that you don't know how we will play. The energy is certainly back and there is a pace to our side now that we have lacked.

I don't listen to journalism on any young player as they over hype anyone who does well in a big league but Rashford deserves credit for 4 goals in 2 games. When you beat Arsenal with youngsters you know you've got a few good ones in the mix.

Not being an *** but outside of Rashford, Lindgaard and Varela, that wasn't exactly an inexperienced United team Sunday. Not taking anything away from the win, as poor as Arsenal were (****. You had Carrick out of position at centre half); but for all I keep reading about Utd's 'kids' beating title crashing Arsenal that's taking quite the liberty with the stating XI.

Just got my United ticket. Let's have it.

Provided we don't **** up and kill it conceding an early goal like, this be a return to the great Anfield European night atmosphere.

The old place will be bouncing.

Experienced mid and GK, but it was the kids who did the damage in fairness.

But zzezzy's point is more that they are playing (and that includes the more experience players) with a verve not seen this season.

Martial is likely to be back monday, so expect him to feature against Liverpool. And I hope Liverpool do think he's our only threat, they'll get stung that way, as Mata showed
 
Scouseinthehouse said:
Martial's expected back? Darn it. Could do without that.

He may well play tomorrow. Smart money is if so, he'll be on the bench. Home against Watford, let Rashford keep playing. He'll be there for the 10th for sure

Yeah expecting a quality atmosphere. Shame that the return leg isn't at Anfield though, we seem to go through 9 times out of 10 when it is!!

Unless he gets injured again which given this season I can see happening.
 
Mignolet
Clyne - Lovren - Sakho - Flanagan
Milner - Henderson - Can
Firmino - Coutinho
Origi

This could be a possibility tonight?
