Ian Walker
He is still "injured" for tomorrow it seems
They will spunk £100m on that guy Keita or whatever he is calledessentislly i think it is a done deal but it all hinges on who can Liverpool get in to fill his boots? I dont watch enough football to know who is out there, available and that good that would want to go to Liverpool.

We conceded 42 goals in the league last season which incredibly IS an improvement!
That really is the main issue at the moment. A really interesting comparison is Spurs who play in a similar-ish way to us.
The scored more goals (86, the most in the league to our 78) and they conceded just 26 which I think is the best in the league too!
What are they doing so right defensively that we are not? it is very strange. Their defenders are better than ours but it is not night and day. It must be the system. I think their midfield protects the back four better, but it does not seem to be at the cost of creativity because they score more than we do.
The more I think of it the more Spurs remind me of Rafa's side that finished second. It lost fewer games, scored more, conceded less and still did not win the league.
I think our attack is better than Spurs, if we could crack the solidity that they have managed then we should be right up there. How do we do that though.
Henderson has a great engine, but I don't think he shields the defence well enough. He has a habit of losing his man. Wijnaldum is the same really. I think they are better defending further up the pitch.
Klopp is a fraud.
It is interesting that in Germany he is not held in the same high regard as he is here.
I guess they don't rate his tactics of jumping around, hoofing the ball forward as early as possible and running after it as quickly as you can. Oh and trying really hard.
Hoffenheim is not the forgone conclusion that the cult would have us believe.

To summarize: They conceded 16 goals more than us, but our defenders aren't that much better than theirs. They scored less, but their attack is better.
There was another 10,000 worder that can be summed up as "Klopp is the greatest manager in the world that isn't Rafa Benitez".
Of course! He spent many many hours making that poster, making sure he got all the letters in the correct order. He even put exclamation marks both at the beginning and the end, just to make sure.
That should do it.
He means it... his banner has handles.

I like this whole "Cult of Klopp" thing. Much like Wenger, I hope he stays there a long time.
He will always have them good enough that they are nearly there, but never actually good enough to make the step.
The longer he stays there the less of a real threat they are.
