Andy from Allerton

I think your memory is playing tricks, Ian Rush first proper season he scored over 30 goals, next season scored even more then scored nearly 50 in third season.
Think it was high 40's.
Don't don't were you got he was rubbish for years from..

He’s close to snapping (quite literally his cue) here.

No, not at all. He can't miss them with the regularity that he does. Which is very regular!

He is our second highest goal scorer this season isn't he. Improved on last season. That's positives to take.

Slight over-reaction to Littler in here, guys take a few weeks off from the football and recharge your batteries for next season. Also get blood pressure check and try some relaxation exercises.

Maybe by some people but it’s something I’ve picked up on last few months he needs someone to advise him on how to conduct himself.

No problem having a joke with crowd etc but he has serious issues when he loses and just turns his back on players win/lose whether you like it or not you have to show Sportsmanship.

He is clearly in the top 8 in the world at the minute but my fear putting him in PL darts was as he is a kid it could break him it don’t look that way now but it could do as he has pretty much gone from unknown on X factor to be thrown onto the tv in front of millions in a few months.

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: LFC's next manager - chat and informed speculation

Whoever it is, I think they'll need to manage expectation carefully.

Jurgen's been there just shy of a decade and is one of the best managers in the modern era. Expectations are obviously massive, and even bigger still when you have a manager like Klopp.

The new manager will need to come in, manage expectation, set up a clear vision of how he wants to take the team forward. They'll need to make sure that the team has an identity and recognize that there is a  "Liverpool way" of playing but also bring in something fresh and innovative about how we approach the game. Personnel will also change, and that includes many players but also staff, so naturally results will likely dip for a season or 2. Realistically if we can make top 4 each year, then we've done well

I think anyone that comes in and makes top 4 would be a very good start, and can hopefully then build from there. I think that would be the base expectation with the squad and players we have. Obviously if they miss out by a point or something it should not be dire either.

Yep, the Porto that is currently 3rd in Portugal, miles off Benfica and Sporting and in a battle not to drop any lower in the league, that one.

One game means fuck all, Fulham outplayed Arsenal. If you wanna do that then Porto are level on points with the team who got knocked out of Europe by Qarabag and miles behind the team who lost to 8th in the French league.

It should also be pointed out that we lost to the BS the other night. So, it just proves any club can beat another in a certain set of circumstances. It doesn't actually prove anything at all.

Rob Milkins is a wonderful potter with a cue action to die for. The rest of his game is all over the shop. Entertaining though.

Dave Gilbert on the other hand has all the tools, and is great to watch; he just breaks down unexpectedly on occasion.

Surprised at what he said before their game last night, but then again, Dutch.

I don't have a problem with it really, I think he's done it out of respect to Feyenoord fans. Better say it as it is than just up and leave after denying any contact like Amorim has for example, or the way the rumour just lingered for a while with Alonso. He'll have put Feyenoord on alert ASAP and had probably already told the players he wanted to get off anyway.

Who knows, maybe in five years he'll tell us all he wants to go to Madrid. Suppose that'd mean he's been successful. Then again, I think the Dutch are better accepting of that 'brutal honesty'

What's his level these days, promoted club / upper championship?

Good question. I personally have seen zero game time of him since he left.

So to paraphrase he can't miss chances but others can?

No, not at all. He can't miss them with the regularity that he does. Which is very regular!
