Shall we buy Bowen?

He’ll be 28 in December.

I don’t think we’re spending the kind of money West Ham would want on a 27yr old. If they got £100m for Rice, they’d want £75m+ for Bowen I’d think. Paqueta probably goes for £50m+ too, so they wouldn’t be under any pressure to sell Bowen either.

Solid, not brilliant, but solid.
Huh? The first half was… well, deader than the eponymous dead horse.

The Banter-Industrial Complex goes from strength to strength. A newly-assembled Liverpool side not quite getting there in a 3-way title race is 'bottling' and cause of mirth. People going on about Liverpool thinking they were on for a quadruple...of course we did, why wouldn't you? Why would you bother with it if you didn't aim to win stuff?

It's not just us, Arsenal went out to Bayern in the CL QFs and were laughed at by the social media fuckwits.

The tribalism means nothing will ever improve. We all know social media is cancer and one of humanity's worst ever inventions. It's all so tiresome. I don't know, I'm just shattered after 8+ years of pretty much every single game and loads of ones involving our rivals having existential meaning.

We as Liverpool fans get the butt of most of the mainstream banter culture and we all see the poverty, calm down, tragedy shouts. United are getting it too and are in our 90s cycle of despair. Even City winning stuff know deep down that it's hollow, and if they don't they spend most of their time arguing against people telling them it is. Everyone else in the country is fighting for survival or for a sweet lick of that PL cash, despite the likelihood of being battered every week.

VAR, the refs and sportswashing too - need I elaborate?

The grounds (not just Anfield) are increasingly full of moaners, tourists or, more and more, chinged-up wannabe hard lads.

Oh, and it matters more when you give your hard-earned money to billionaire bookies.

Is anybody having fun any more?

Whatever Al. What are the ideal models? (post a unique Fergerson)
I'd have said a non-financially doped City with their team and manager. But they're out of the CL.
Arsenal - Arteta has done a great job but they are out of the CL. Whose behind him anyway
What about all of the teams left in the CL, should we / do we want to be like any of them. I've no idea what their set up is.

Liverpool in the 70's and 80's, Ferguson in the 90's and 00's, Wenger in the 00's have all been the dominant teams with the manager having a huge amount of power. Guardiola has dominated recently with a huge amount of power. Arsenal have flourished since under Arteta who has a lot of power.

The biggest turnaround in the Premier League has been Aston Villa with Emery bringing in his own DoF in Monchi and having a huge amount of power. Our best seasons over the last couple of decades have been when the likes of Benitez and Klopp had huge amounts of power.

No one in this League has ever had a transformative SD or DoF who has changed things and turned their team into the dominant force.

Just checked this out of interest.

Feyenoord average 62% possession and complete 85% of their passes.

Liverpool average 62% possession and complete 86% of their passes.

Okay and? I never said we'd have more possession. How we use the ball will be different.

In that case why was Rodgers getting Gerrard to cold call prospective recruits.


As Gerrard explains:

    ‘I had an unofficial role at the club, trying to persuade some great players to join Liverpool. It was the same ritual every summer. The club would let me know which long-shot target they had in mind and then ask me to contact him. They thought that a request to consider moving to Liverpool would have more impact coming from me.’

He admits that one ‘long-shot target’ was very ambitious indeed:

    ‘Brendan asked me to take a crack at trying to talk Toni Kroos into signing for Liverpool. He smiled when I said we’d be p***ing into the wind with this one…I knew Real Madrid were gearing up to make Bayern Munich an offer and so I felt a bit awkward when I texted Kroos. The German was on his way to winning the World Cup with his country and Real were the champions of Europe.

    ‘Some of the best footballers in the world can also be the most respectful. Kroos didn’t make me feel like I was a total idiot. But, of course, he would soon sign for Real Madrid. We had a nice little exchange of texts and I said well done and good luck.’
So whats your point here?
I said the Club should be the attraction, you seem endorse an individual should (not could) be an attraction but the example you gave failed.
fml, I know how Yorky feels now.

We became a lot stronger when Klopp convinced Van Dijk to turn down City and Chelsea and sign for us. Do you honestly think that happens without Klopp meeting up with Van Dijk.

I don't know probably not but now you're getting into hypotheticals. 

LFC of 2024 is stronger than in 2014 that is a fact without a shadow of a doubt.

Manchester City
Arsenal
arguably Liverpool 2016-2022
Real Madrid
Barcelona
Atletico Madrid
Bayern Munich
Borussia Dortmund
Bayer Leverkusen
Paris Saint-Germain
Ajax
Porto
Benfica
...

It's actually hard to find a club that doesn't!

We are catching up, good to see.

Thanks

His reputation (which is hugely over exaggerated) preceded him today, when Coufal put the ball out but the officials immediately assumed it was a miss.
