A red card & players throwing their shirts at Howe & some Newcastle players fighting each other would be great as well. They’ll end the day bottom of the league again all being well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Its a tough one for Liverpool, do they smash Newcastle and convince Howe to overpay for defenders or do they keep it tight and convince him he needs the creative midfield rejects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could they get him in January, would he find it ? Gary Gardner all day long, get him in, sleeves up and that. Too obvious though I suppose.

ender4 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) I still think they’ll stay up. The new players they buy in January will lift them, make them stronger and start picking up enough points. They’re still only 3 points from being out of the relegation zone which they can easily catch up from Jan to May.

rodders0223 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 They will be 10 points adrift before they even start contract negotiations. Nobody is joining them that has any real calibre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is joining them that has any real calibre. I don’t think it matters. If they have any sense, they’ll have already agreed and signed pre-contracts with around 7 new players who will join them on 1st Jan. They also don’t need real calibre to escape relegation. They just need players slightly better than what they have, say on par with Watford, Leeds, Brighton, Southampton, etc. 7 players x £20m players, plus 2 great loans should be more than enough to finish 17th.

Whilst this is definitely 'possible', they still haven't recruited a Director of Football // Sporting Director, so there is still no public idea as to who is deciding on transfers.

If their embarrassingly shambolic managerial search is anything to go by, they may well not even have a clue who they want or need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted December 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2021 There were some hilariously awful decisions from Mike Dean. So utterly one sided towards Liverpool it looked absolutely corrupt. The owners must have been sitting there absolutely seething about the blatantly crooked decisions going against them. Iaughed so hard at times I nearly shat. If I was Mike Dean I'd be checking the brakes on my car before I got up to speed though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
