Grujic and Lovren give Liverpool double injury boost - Liverpool Echo

Been a real shame to see Grujić's first season SO disrupted. He was always going to be one for the future, but you have to think with all the other injury's he'd of gotten quite a bit of game time this year. Looks the perfect athletic, rangy modern day all round box-to-box midfielder from what we've seen of him. Very strong in the tattle. Great passing range. Disciplined with a great Lampard-esq knack of arriving late in space the box to score. All with the pedigree of already captaining a major club in his homeland to the League title at the age of just 19. That's a leader in the making right there.

People seem to of completely forgotten about Klopp's first signing as we've barely seen him but it'll be like a new signing already on the books next year when he will get a lot of game time with the extra burden of the CL.

Very excited to see him playing again.

Get the F in Lincoln!

No no need to rearrange the Burnley game now the next round. And with confirmation that if Millwall and Leicester draw, the Leicester game a week Monday will now be brought forward 24 hours; with no rearranged games late the season this is turning into a pretty great Cup weekend!
 
so you guys have been linked with gotze and chilwell plus klopp to barcelona cant see that 1 but what do you lot think of the other 2

Lazy journalism. From people with no sources so they just make **** up. Like the vast majority of transfer rumours.

Not got a clue who L'pool might be after, so let's rehash last summers story's and run them again!

As regards Chilwell on a related note, every time I see him play for Leicester he looks real raw still. F-ed up again the wrong side of his man for the Millwall winner yesterday and that's against a League One side. Definitely wouldn't of been anywhere near starting ahead of Milner this year for all the **** over not buying him last summer.
 
Who the heck keeps track of **** like this? Stat data bases. Phew.

Even more ridiculous #'s with the context of coming in October, sacking off the Lge for the Europa with the kids the last couple months the season, this years last two month dip with injuries et all.
 
I just read a fantastic Wrap piece that lead me on to an even better general piece that both encapsulate perfectly not only L'pool's struggles but the struggles of our competitors and the PL in general against Europe's elite.

Really worth while reading for most every football fan of the top 6 clubs in particular. Particularly the long but brilliant Tomkins piece which is essential reading:

EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool set to transform Kirkby Academy into £50million first-team training complex - Liverpool Echo

Not before time everyone was in the same facility again. Not least now with a manager so invested in youth promotion. Just surprised they're sticking with Kirkby. I know the lands there and all but man is it frigging windy up there when it whips in off the motorway.

Although all that said I'm not sure how this can be as FSG won't spend any money. Or so the tired arl rhetoric goes.
 
Consultation begins on redevelopment of LFC’s Academy site - Liverpool FC

First plans of the Kirkby redevelopment. Great that there's so much going back into the local community and grass roots football too along with good use for housing planned out of Melwood. All for the club giving back.

With the awesome new main stand and the way it's opened up everything around the ground and the continued redevelopment going on at Anfield, to now this; you're really getting the feel that L'pool is FINALLY becoming a bona fide 21st Century football club in every facet.

It's been WAY too long we've lagged behind in the PL era but everything is gradually being put in place to enable us to rival anyone on the World stage once more.

Not sure how to feel about it tbh. Not that it should bother me but, kinder feel it's harsh after what he's achieved. But the results in league have been shocking. And if players have downed tools then there's no choice. But what ***** if they have.

Absolutely **** poor from the owners to me and sums up whats so wrong with the game today. Money and a complete lack of patience. Ungrateful twats. So scared of losing the PL money they panic into something like this forgetting all he's done for them.

Just SO thankful FSG are all in on Klopp the next 6 years at least to allow him to build a football club.

So Raineri lasted the longest of any trophy winner last season by making it to Feb. and they wonder why players seem to choose punditry
 
*Sings 'Every other Saturdays me half day off and it's off to the match I go .....'

Or Monday. As is the case today thanks oh so much to Sky. Could of done without Leicester binning Ranieri (how many times have we suffered from that over the years and a club galvanising?), but this is a shambolic Leicester outfit in a no mans land between managers. And this is a L'pool side fully refreshed and prepared coming off a 16 day mini-winter break. Full of confidence after giving Tottenham their biggest lesson for a good few years last time out. And most pertinently, the bands back together again and firing on all cylinders:

View attachment 103457

8 PL starts together for that quartet. 26 L'pool goals scored. Boy how we've missed them through injury and the AFCON. #differencemakers

16 days has been too long without these Reds who finally returned win all their glory last time out. Respect Leicester and work as hard, this should be a comfortable trip down the M6 and back upto third by the final whistle.

Up the Fox Hunting Reds!
