Xela Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Football scout - seemingly easiest job in the world at the top level. No imagination (or risks) with signings anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Just read this on the BBC. I'm not saying Philippe Coutinho won't be a loss, of course he will, but i don't understand how you can look at those stats and worry that Firmino is going to fall apart because Coutinho is gone. There doesn't seem to be a huge disparity. In terms of goals, no player has scored more than Roberto Firmino since he joined the club in the summer of 2015 (30 goals) but without Coutinho alongside him, the Brazilian forward is not as effective. Firmino has scored six goals in the 11 games they have started together this season, but in the seven games he has started without his compatriot, the 26-year-old has managed just three. That's a goals per game ratio of 0.54 when they both startcompared to 0.42 when just Firmino starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i said he will be a big loss, buts thats a terrible article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 If Liverpool had sense they should go after Aubameyang who has a release fee. Then a new GK and another cb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the ship is sailing on him now. He's 28 so if you sign him to a five year deal then that takes him up to 33 which means zero resale value. Basically if you sign him he needs to be an instant success and then you hope that you get 3 good years out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Its a loss but its softened by just how good Salah is and now they cant afford to make the same mistales they made when selling Suarez. One big signing to replace Coutinho. Sanchez, Mahrez, Keita deal could be brought forward, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Apparently Madrid want Salah, would be funny to see him go in January (very unlikely). Although they'd get a lot of money for him they'd no doubt waste it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 A very suprising result today for them and never had them down to take it to Man City how they did. Shows one player does not make a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't that surprised. They play a fast break counter attacking style that is the exact type of football that's going to cause City problems. City's weakness is the back four & the space in behind them and Liverpool can exploit that on the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I actually predicted it. if there is one team that can match Man Citys high press its Liverpool and when Mane, Salah and Firminho turn it on its as good as anything Man City can do.
