ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

It was great, Talksport were taking the piss out of all of them as well.

Loved the kopite that said next year is their year and then ended up settling for 2nd favourites for the title, followed by one that said they will be top 4 without a doubt, probably top 3.
I remember that guy. Best was the older lady that called in and said "I don't know what these clowns are talking about. We're lucky to finish top 6."
 
Can't underestimate how big a loss Gerrard will be, even though he was declining. Losing a club legend and captain will take its toll. Plus, sold their best player. If Firmino doesn't come in and hit the ground running straight away, I think Brendy will be in trouble come Christmas.
You serious the man couldn't even run anymore it was hilarious watching him take on players and falling over. On occasions Lucas was preferred to him. Lucas ffs

why did they keep improving when gerard was out of the team then?
 
Has anyone noticed the resemblance of their training gear to man united circa 1980s/90s with a big focus on black with the primary red colour ?
Its a slow day in fairness!
 
....only time will tell what impact the loss of Gerrard and Sterling and £100m spend will have. It could well improve their lot or end in tears. I haven't got a clue.
 

Wouldn't they have to sell a few players like Enrique? Wonder how big their squad is now.

Paris Saint-Germain boss Laurent Blanc admits Liverpool target Lucas Digne has asked to leave the club.

The Reds are tracking Digne, 22, with a view to him providing competition for Alberto Moreno at left back while Atletico Madrid and Roma have also been linked.

They are the men Brendan Rodgers believes will transform Liverpool’s goal return; two massive signings whose fortunes will define the new season. The different reactions to the arrivals of Roberto Firmino and Christian Benteke, however, could not be more stark.

Though 95 per cent of Liverpool supporters have never seen Firmino in action — YouTube doesn’t count — they believe he is already on his way to becoming an icon. He comes from Brazil, his style is similar to Luis Suarez’s and his form for Hoffenheim was brilliant, leaving fans saying: ‘Imagine what he’ll be like for us!’ That is the mystique of buying players from abroad. Firmino could well be another Suarez; he could also be another Alberto Aquilani.

Contrast that to Benteke, who has become the second-biggest signing in Liverpool’s history after scoring 42 goals in 89 Premier League appearances for Aston Villa, a team that has fought for survival in each of the three years he was there.
Only Sergio Aguero (55), Suarez (53) and Robin van Persie (44) have scored more in the top flight since he marked his debut with a goal against Swansea in September 2012.

Can you imagine what Liverpool fans would be saying about Firmino if the 32 goals he has scored in all competitions over the past two years for Hoffenheim — whose finishing positions were ninth and eighth — had come during a fight against the drop?

Can't argue tbh. Think Benteke is a brilliant player and has more about him than Lukaku does currently.

I too rate Benteke although agree with another bit Carragher put in the piece " I like him as a striker and actually think he would be great for Chelsea. Jose Mourinho likes that profile of forward and sets his teams up to get the best out of them.
My worry at Liverpool is, will he be suited to the short, sharp and incisive passing game that Rodgers favours? Brendan wants his side to play through teams, rather than getting the ball into him from wide areas, a fact Tim Sherwood pointed out as soon as Liverpool’s interest became public"

Was just amused by him taking a gentle dig at Liverpool fans gushing over a player most had never seen play (which tbf you can equally apply to our transfer thread)
