After getting so much money this summer it is easy to forget that Lovren is Liverpool's 4th most expensive signing ever. He cost the same as Torres and only a couple of mill less than Saurez. No wonder the scousers are p!ssed off.

 

John W Henry is not a poor man, and given how he made his absolute killing on Wall Street, not a stupid man either. I fail to feel sorry for him or them.

After our 5 successive defeats, Liverhampton (and Spurs) into the semi finals, and remembering what we paid for Osvaldo, Gaston, Mayuka, Long and Mane, my smugness is beginning to wear off. :(

 

People too quickly get carried away or dive into despair. As we've seen, a lot can change in a week in football.

“It is important because the academy is always the heart of any club. It was one of the main reasons I decided to come here. The opportunity to work with this club’s academy was fantastic. I think it is the best in England, maybe even Europe."

 

So he didn't go there for the money then.

 

Seems he may have been told to work with what he's got, including the rehabilitation of Adebayor.

I do think Poch was more open to playing the youngsters than most other managers we have had.

The majority of our young players co ing through look so sleight, wheras the Spurs and Arsenal ones look big lads.

At the end of the day you can have the best pitches and buildings in the world but the most important thing is the talent spotters and the coaches. I do hope we have the staff still to go with the buildings. Perhaps time for. The return of Huw Jennings?

We will have some of the best - why else do you think other clubs keep poaching our staff? We also employ the business methodology of succession planning.

Is it a nice run? Half of those teams are above them in the table currently. As the hoary old chestnut goes, the table doesn't lie.

Given that 4th place is likely to be around 66 points, Liverpool would have to do something like 13 wins, 4 draws, 4 defeats to get to that mark.

 

There's not much room for a slip up in those games if they're to do it
