Ings and Slimani are injury prone and not an upgrade on what we have- Berahino excepted Slimani is absolutely an upgrade on what we have. Not at the moment he isn’t.

Says the man who wants to get rid of Joe Allen. Because our midfield is gash and he's a massive part of that. I rest my case

He's our best prospect - actually our only one- but if you want to ruin his career put him in a relegation team and kill his confidence. What a load of twaddle. Says the man who wants to get rid of Joe Allen.

Joe Allen who's been our best player since the day he arrived?Who puts in more effort than any other player?Who covers more ground than any other player every game(opta). Dear oh dear. Who leaves more space than anyone else? A massive part as to why we're so bad in the midfield. Sorry but to me he's the only thing good about our midfield.

Joe Allen who's been our best player since the day he arrived?Who puts in more effort than any other player?Who covers more ground than any other player every game(opta). Dear oh dear. To play devil's advocate I don't think he's denying that. The issue is that he isn't creative enough to be an attacker nor disciplined enough to be a defensive midfielder. He has to play with a disciplined defensive midfielder next to him, and N'diaye the exact same from what little I can tell. He, N'diaye and Cameron are the only midfield group we can start with, and it leaves us completely without creativity. If we'd sold him and replaced him with a similar type of player with a bit more quality on the ball it would've been fine. Hopefully N'diaye is that type. The issue Bayern's alluding to is that because we have Joe Allen, there seems to be no clamour from the board or the management to sign a proper defensive mid, that we need so badly. The exact same issue for number 10 too. Our midfield has been an issue since N'zonzi left, we haven't had a creative midfielder since we loaned out Bojan and the only defensive mid we have is Cameron, who's passing is generally a bit crap. I sort of understand but don't really agree. Allen is our best player let alone our best midfielder. You could put any type alongside him. A dog of a destroyer or a Jack Wilshere visionary type but for God's sake we need to keep him.

Shame it didn't happen in the summer. Allen out, N'Diaye in would have been nice. Obviously with 2 more midfielders of a first team quality too. Joe Allen who's been our best player since the day he arrived?Who puts in more effort than any other player?Who covers more ground than any other player every game(opta). Dear oh dear.

Berahino is unfortunately a flop - his body language on the pitch says it all - he's not interested. Jese has had limited chances - he has shown a bit - if he's hungry ok - if he's not, he's another Hughes flop.yway he's our one Shaq - has all the skills - but makes too many mistakes / unforced errors - can't make my mind up if it's his attitude - or the other players are not on the same wavelength - anyway he's our one talent & so we have to stick with him & get the rest of the team to work with him. Dear Brexshits, “I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.” Love, Friedrich Nietzsche He was interested against Chelsea, played well, made some good runs, held the ball up and was rewarded with getting dropped, he should be given another chance.

I mean what do Tony Pulis, Mark Hughes and Paul Lambert know about footballers ? You've let yourself down there using Pulis All he wanted was a big lump to aim at, anything else was a bonus. Ha ha!!! I’ll take that😂

Which is why you have to use subs sensibly, we didn’t yesterday and paid the price. Fair point. Souness also said ‘ Liverpool need a rule change so they can use all six subs’!

I thought Lambert knew about our team and our players if so why go back to starting Crouch? Its been shown time and time and time again under 3 managers now that its not the answer. The sooner we fuck him off and force whoever is manager to find another way the better as long as he's there we're always going to come back to this recurring point. Mmm I wonder why managers always turn to him?

Easily, the release will save us money by not paying. £3,210,000 pounds a year, times 3 and a half years for no return! That's £10,920,000 pounds going to be lost on this wasted kid. There is no way his release clause is over £10,000,000 pounds. We could save nearly £7,000,000 in the long run. I'm not quite sure you know how contracts like this work. What you're basically saying here is that it's easy to just sack him and not pay him a single penny. That's pie in the sky stuff. Absolutely right. He will hang on and be here forever.No one will even pay half his wages for a loan

He’s as mobile as Crouch. Who has never been mobile ever. Nor was Tedfy Sheringham You're stretching that nose a little bit there mate. Glenn Murray could run rings around Crouchy in a race. Don’t want to be contrary mate but he really couldn’t

Really interesting insights from Carragher and Souness. Like Klopp Lambert has obviously brought this pressing game from Germany.
Like us yesterday Liverpool ran out of steam late on.
As Carragher said ‘No one can keep Pressing for 90 minutes. You need to get 2 or 3 goals up’
If they can’t do it we won’t be able to .
It’s a big big problem

Glen Murray 34 starting every game for Brighton who are getting out of trouble Yes but he's mobile and fit to run a full 90mins, unlike Crouch and Fletcher. He’s as mobile as Crouch. Who has never been mobile ever. Nor was Tedfy Sheringham

Should.in theory be a front three that could keep us up . Is there any way to get them to click as a unit ? Struggling to see how we survive if not with the games we have. And that is the front three for relegation right there

We need the pace and mobility that crouch brings to the table not berahino. Take the piss all you like, who's more likely to get us a goal? Crouch

It’s a warm down ffs. Massages light runs etc to loosen stiff muscles. It isn’t extra training. If you want injuries that would be the way to do it

Disagree Grapey. If you're George Best, Frank Worthington etc., then maybe.
But to have all this extra curricular splashed over the press, when he's doing the square root of FA is, frankly, unacceptable in my book.
He's so obviously a wrong 'un. And VT must be laughing his cock off even yet.
And what's the point of Lamberto shouting about his new discipline regime when this carry on has been cracking off (OK, it seems to be historical and not confirmed but there's no smoke without fire and there must be a reason why he's become so useless).
Communal scran and no phones at CW is one thing (that I actually agree with) but to not be seen to come down on this is quite ano.
Back to the missing striker.
The club needed to have got one (yes, a decent one obvs) not least so we could ship out this idiot.
And more importantly, score some chuffing goals. For one, you don't know its real. For two, as you said, its all historical. For three, he hasn't played much. He stays because we only have 3 strikers and one of them can't move. We have to keep trying him because there's no other option. Lambert clearly sees a good finisher in him, so we have to hope he can bring it out. The gutter press spouting shite about him with absolutely no basis has no effect on anything, besides reinforcing what people want to think about a player. There’s plenty of basis. There’ll be more to come.

‘He’s nowhere near good enough to fulfill that role’. Yes 22 goals for England , playing in a Champions League final , winning an Fa Cup medal and scoring the best goal ever seen at the Bet 365 would of course indicate you are correct Mick, The things you're quoting there mate are in the past. I'm not reviewing his career, of which he can be rightly proud. I'm worried about the here and now. He's 37 now and he has 3 league goals this season, the last of which came on 4th November. We haven't won a single league game he's started this season and he hasn't scored in a league game he's started. Those are raw stats and kind of make their own case. The problem when we start with him is that we often resort to hitting the ball long towards him which, invariably, sees us losing possession. Also, it adds to the chronic lack of pace in the whole side which sees us struggling to hit teams on the break. As part of a front two I think he does better. Leading the line on his own isn't working for us and the stats unfortunately back that up. Fair post but I actually think our best option is to get Shaq and Choupo-Moting around him and stick to this system. He’s not scoring at the moment because our set pieces are poor and no one can cross the ball. Diouf getting in behind doesn’t work either. We’re not good enough to find him and he’s honestly not up to the task. I was st the game yesterday and I thought we were great first half. We wouldn’t have been with Diouf starting . Should he have replaced Crouch earlier. Yes possibly when the game was getting stretched
