They've got a good chance this year sadly. They'll definitely get top four at a minimum.

Just got to hope they get a few injuries or they tire out.

I know how poor they are presently at defensive work, bit I can't imagine Klopp allowing these to slip up in terms of CL qualification. They're still off City's quality though...although Stones might give them a helping hand!

Ive said everything about Barkley at some point.

On his day hes a real talent, but my God hes terrible currently.

He's what I would call "a Marmite player"...which I think is quite clever.

I love the lad, but he has some serious demons inside that head of his.

Yeah but wheres he been for the other 9 games?

As I say, 1 in 20 games he looks a proper player, the other 19 he looks like a midget out his depth, thats why he cant be considered WURLD KLASS.

Doesn't have 4 goals or sommat already

He'll be at Barca soon, no doubt. At 24 years old, you've got to be looking at an opening offer of £60million in today's money.

If Liverpool didn't have him they'd be toothless. He is the string puller. In the same way as we'd be knackered if Lukaku was injured, the same is true of them with Coutinho.

Needs to have a manager who believes in him. The lad is sensitive, perhaps too much so.

You said IIRC that Barkley wasnt all that....it's probably in the vaults but I can't be arsed chasing it and if I'm wrong I don't care about apologising for it.

Like you don't give a toss about our club...support them rather than moan all the time

Not Euro-cup tied. I'll be amazed if he's still there at the end of January

Whereas a few sensible Liverpool fans I've spoken to (I know... there's not many) are quite sheepish about praising him for a number of reasons.

On his day he can score some wonder goals, his movement can be great and even more so combined with passing. But regularly he disappears.

Obviously every player has lulls, but these are lads who watch him home and away week in week out and they'd be happy to sell him on.

For me that's a massive sign as those lot across the park are normally well into their hyperbole, whereas they'd be far from reluctant to sell.

Great on his day but is his influence over inflated? Is he as good as the media would like us to believe? I'm not sure.

I do agree with your sentiment, but you are exaggerating. He isn't as good as everyone thinks he is, for example he was non-existent against the Mancs on Monday, but he is world class 1 in every 3-4 games, not every 20. And he is gradually improving his consistency.

Furthermore, he is far better than Barkley, who is actually world class 1 in every 20 matches.

Well Dave vaulted a post from 2 years ago, so yeah hes improved since then, but then Daves chatting bubbles about going to Barca, which LOL.
