The Liverpool Thread

[Scouseinthehouse]

Be interesting to see how Klopp fits him in. Least won't miss Mane so much if he is out again for a spell. Not bad price in today's market. Hope he shows his Roma form and not Chelsea form, even though never got a fair crack.

I don't know. 2 goals and 2 assists from 6 starts at Chelsea the League is a dip in form I'd be happy with. I think the main problem there was Mourinho was starting to do a City and buying players other clubs wanted to lessen the opposition. Because they could. Absolutely zero need for him. Or the lad who's name escapes me that was similar the deal that first took Salah to Italy.

Similar to when Sadio arrived. He matched his Southampton output, he more than justified his fee. As it was, he surpassed that and took it to a whole other level with the step up. Salah just matches his almost 1 in 2 goals and assist return from last year, it's a similar bargain. He ups it and you're absolutely laughing.

Just another top class option with Olympic speed who's coming off three fantastic years in Italian footie. The prospect of Salah one side, Mané the other, with Firmino in between doing his thing, and Lallana just off, with Phil deeper having those options ahead of him to play it into ..... Wouldn't like to be setting up defensively against that. You drop off and sit deep to stop the space in behind fearing the rapid pace or even double up on either wing, that leaves more room for Phil to play in. You go tight on Phil, and you're leaving more room ahead of him to hit.

Can't remember the last time L'pool had two wide players as good as that. Barnes and Houghton? Although Ray was more just a real tidy right midfielder rather than winger. But when you'd Johnie Barnes ripping everyone a new one he faced the other side that's all you needed for balance. Probably going back to the '70's with the likes of Ray Kennedy, Cally, Stevie Heighway and co.

A heck of a fun attack is about to get even more fun and goal filled with this signing.

Liverpool are paying a Pharoah's ransom but Mohamed Salah is a lightning, devastating force and worth every penny | The Independent

Great reads like that from a seasoned Serie A journo just wet the appetite even more.

Sure hope Northcroft's as thoroughly researched as he normally is before he puts his name to something there. Oxlade-Chamberlian would be a great double up with Salah to start off the summer.

Although if we did swipe him from Arsenal, we need to sort out what we're gonna' call him. The 'Ox' thing is about as wool as you can get!

I stopped when Salah and Mane were compared to Barnes and Houghton..

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

I would too if anyone had actually done that.

I think he compared the forward line to the 84 side, when they hammered 10 man Hull last season. He's fairly consistent though. I like the passion.

I like Salah, but Barnesy he aint. He's a different player to the one that left Chelsea though, and for the better

Dude, its your own words. @Iamauser can censure me by all means if he thinks I am, but you actually said it.

For someone in Uni your reading comprehension really isn't where it should be lid.

Or maybe we should just be kind and say you're playing with context to get a reaction.

Which I guess worked. WTG you Sir!

The heck I compared them. I said Liverpool haven't had a wide combo as good as they have now since maybe right back to those two.

Context. That's not a direct comparison of players to even the slowest of readers. But you know this already. The same way you ask for something, then completely ignore what you asked for and blunder on regardless.

And we're only in June. This be a long summer.

First off, you're are actually comparing the duo to B+R so try again

Secondly I didn't ignore what you asked for, what you said didnt actually back up your point, it backed up mine, as wkdsoul pointed out.

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

So now you're telling me what I wrote wasn't actually what I wrote but how you chose to interpret it. Soz abar me for not knowing my own mind.

And getting someone saying exactly what you asked for, someone in the game saying he was the best defender in Europe (which may I add, as I did, is just an opinion and means little. As I repeatedly said. Unlike more responses than yours that claimed it as some sort of definitive fact that he wasn't arguably among the best around) ..... isn't.

Is it the heat getting to you all? Because this is beyond ridiculous. But hey, before kitchen takes away more cookies (don't ask. We have an on running thing), I shall let you all have it and save a few pages of more bunkum.

 

[kitchin75]

your cookies are save lid no need to worry about theem till the season starts and all this bullshit about who wil sign who has calmed down a tad but i would not put money on it

He genuinely fits the stereotype of a delusional Liverpool fan. Title challenge and chance of any other trophies fizzled out by January last season despite there being no Europe yet he talks about winning the league next season.

Or he is someone who passionately supports their club and is excited about a new signing. Also what the hells wrong with wanting you're team to do well in the upcoming season. If you think Scouse is delusional then you need to check out the other LFC based forums (looking at you RAWK).
