And then they got Mourinho'd yesterday. Really bad week for Everton. Everyone said pre-season, "look at Everton, they spent all that money and they are still gonna finish seventh." They have 11 places to climb even to get there.

Lol I was at ND for the UGA game this weekend and I didn't get to watch Liverpool/Man City live. I recorded it to watch later but now that I know the result, I think I am just gonna pretend like it never happened. After the UGA result, I can't take any more sports-fan disappointment right now...

You may have just answered your own question ... I am not super plugged into this issue, but my understanding is that in order for Allan to get his work permit, he needs to play serious minutes at whichever club takes him on loan. So LFC need to find a club good enough to help him develop but...

This is true. For example, my three brothers in law all rooted for Everton because of Timmy Howard. They would annoy me by talking all kinds of shit to me as a Liverpool fan (which annoyed me doubly, because I just don't get the point of talking shit; it does nothing for me). Then, before...

Yeah, something like that, for me. As an ND fan, like most or all of us, I have been dreaming for YEARS, since I was a kid, of ND recapturing its lost glory and its position as the preeminent college football program in the country, even though I am actually too young to really remember a...

I tend to agree on Ox. The English media makes more of a fuss over him than he is worth, seemingly because he is English. (Not unlike Ross Barkley.) In college football terms, Ox is an athlete without a position. But with some coaching and training and educating from the gaffer, a guy like...

Yeah, it's tricky trying to come up with a best XI out of all these guys. My front 6 is similar though: Mane Firmino Salah Coutinho Can Hendo I think all those positions are firm except Can's. Could argue for Lallana or Wijnaldum there, but I like Can in the side for his physicality, and his...

I saw that, and apparently Messi is pissed. Cack, how reliable is that Anfield Express Twitter acccount? Because now they are tweeting this: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Philippe Coutinho will be sold this window, FSG aren't happy with the way he...

I can't take this. Too exciting. Getting no work done today, just refreshing the LiverpoolFC subreddit over and over

Wow great news on the transfer front. Now the plans are starting to take shape. Fight off Barca for now, use Coutinho in midfield this year and also in his customary "wing/10" position, sell him next summer with Keita coming in to replace him. Makes sense. The Lemar news is great too. I...

Oh, I didn't realize he had such a serious injury. I'd pass then. I don't know that they really need to bring anybody in except maybe a fullback, but if they are gonna buy someone, they'll probably want him now for CL depth. So who do you root for? Roma is in your IE handle so I guess they...

Wow, that does change things. Spurs should buy Ross Barkley, if he is willing to be behind Dele and Eriksen in the pecking order. I think he would be pretty good as a backup to Dele in particular. Same athleticism and dynamism, although Barkley doesn't have nearly the same intensity...

The Lovren situation reminds me a lot of college football actually. It's like when you have a coach who recruits a QB who has the perfect physical profile for your system and then keeps playing him even though it is clear that he doesn't have what it takes between the ears to be a consistent...

Klopp ended up going with the same team as last Tuesday ... I guess all he needs is the same result. In fact, a draw or a 1-0 loss will do. Come on you Reds!

Me too, so pumped. It will be interesting to see how they line up. I don't see how Klopp can keep Robertson out of the team, considering how good he was on Saturday. (You could argue that Klavan should start over Lovren, but imo that's a toss-up; both players are error-prone, Klavan slightly...

Ugh, I saw this. Looks like it is really time for LFC to move on. Not sure who to at this point, but the club definitely needs to make a signing. There has got to be someone out there who can push for Lovren's spot. After two games, he and Moreno are in the same boat in my eyes: talented...

Pretty good Reds performance. Giving up that soft goal is infuriating (Trent needs to play to the whistle; Lovren or whoever it was needs to step up and get in line with the other defenders), but two away goals is great and a one-goal lead is a solid result. Could definitely have scored more...

Yes, I don't really dispute what you are saying. The thing about a zonal marking system is that it avoids the problem of packing players around the goalie, which is what happens when you use a man-marking system, but it requires players who will ATTACK the ball as it comes in, which is exactly...

Liverpool don't concede the most goals from corners, but there is still a big problem that Virgil van Dijk won't fix | The Independent Interesting piece on Liverpool's set-piece woes. In short, last season Liverpool were not much below average (T-9th) in terms of total goals conceded from...
