Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Liverpool thread

Jorginho joined Chelsea, not Liverpool.

Of course. It was late when I posted. Jorginho is actually the better of the two I think.

Thing is if you take one of Mane Salah firmino out It totally unbalances them and they are massively weaker. Obviously especially Salah. Shaqiri is nowhere near the quality of replacement. We showed last 2 seasons we can cope without kane. I think we can miss 1 or 2 star players and cope much better and are much more flexible in our formation. They only have one way to play. Imo they are still miles off city and Klopp is no pep, for me if city don’t drop off they won’t get within 10 pts.

Salah isn’t going to get 40 goals again. I’d be surprised if he gets half that this season. Teams will be wiser to him surely?

I think this is wishful thinking similar to fans who didn’t think Kane could replicate his first breakthrough season. You don’t do what Kane and Salah did only to flop the following year.

However, last season was such a special season and it will be very hard to reach those levels again but I’ll be very surprised if he doesn’t hit 20 PL goals again, assuming he stays fit.

I think 20 is about right, Salah's never hit anything close to those numbers before in his career, Kane has done it every season.

MoSalah's season ended with a double anti-climax - the CL loss and injury closely followed by a bad performance by Egypt in the WC, he was never going to be able to carry a bad team forward into the group stages on his own.

He has the physical ability as we all know but there must be some who think he may have taken some mental knock backs, time will tell.

He's never played in the team or system he is now before either and wasn't getting the same level of service. He scored a lot less the previous years for Roma but also was getting a lot less chances. He's taking twice as many shots for Liverpool.

Fair point, but Kane's had to deal with defences being fully aware of what he can do, and doubling up on him for the last few seasons, yet he still racks up ridiculous numbers.

It'll be interesting to see how Salah performs now teams know what he's all about.

That's actually really interesting seeing that his shots per goal ratio is that similar. 5,14, 5,33 and 4,43 shots per goal. His ratio at Liverpool is the best of them but not as massively as I'd expected.

That happens all the time tbf, to most top clubs.

Not to that extreme it doesn't.

I'm not laughing at Liverpool right now. I think £66m for Alisson is ridiciulous, but their 2018 turnover was £364m with £208m in wages. Meanwhile Spurs made £306m with player wages of £127m. Our net profit was £58m versus their £40m.

So the question is, where is the money? How is it that Liverpool can purchased the players they need, and Spurs are left bickering over £20m for Jack Grealish?

I know that we've finished above them for 8 out of the last 9 seasons, but they're clearly headed in the right direction, whereas it feels like we've stagnated the last 3 seasons.

Finishing 3rd, 2nd and 3rd is definitely stagnation. Poch out

This - 100%

They knew what he was about halfway through the season. He was still scoring.

Surely they know how to stop a leftie ? I was a leftie. Not a very good one obviously.

Karius is trending on Twitter, poor guy must still be suffering concussion

 

[coys200]

Lost 3-1 to Dortmund. If you fancy a laugh put LFC in twitter search. Tearing shreds off each other ?

I can still see them spending even more money before the TW ends.


Just my take.

I can to.. they'd have to get some out first though. Wijnaldm to Turkey? Ings.. Origi to Soton? Karius to the Bell & Hare ?
