Br still has a thin squad of a few quality players...
Starting 11 has not been improved !!
Just over priced average players have been added to the squad
Yes it has. Moreno + Manquillo are both upgrades on our fullbacks from last year.We're only playing Lambert (who is definitely better than Aspas btw) becuause we lost Suarez and Sturridge is injured. Lallana is better than any AM we had last year, with the exception of Coutinho maybe, but he's inconsistent. Our bench is also better than last years was. Moreno is a like-for-like replacement for Enrique. We've basically paid £12m to replicate a defender that isn't very good at defending. As for Manquillo....I've not seen him show any signs of talent, but I've not seen him show any signs of being useless either. Whether he or Johnson starts seems totally insignificant. Flanagan is better than all of the above

Agree with Darcus here, Manquillo is definitely not an improvement on last season. I don't really know what to think of him, he seems ok defensively but is rubbish going forward and can only pass backwards.
I would have preferred not to sign Manquillo and kept Andre Wisdom.

Does any one remember how we used to slate our "thin" squad last season? Now we have 90 million sitting on our bench and the same people are complaining. Their real value is around 30m. Could you detail that please?

We are seriously struggling and he has £80m worth of players bought just this summer sitting on the bench. Something is very wrong.
this for me sums up rodgers in a nutshell. his plan has been a total and utter blackhole clusterfck of a disaster. He now has a B team out there limping through the season (albeit better than plan A), putting out fires and living game to game while his head is in the noose. he hasn't a clue lads. not a clue. As for the 80m sitting on the bench, the only thing better would be lying on it...preferably asleep, or better still comatose...if they aren’t already. As for his head in a noose, isn’t that what you always wanted Flames? Instead of calling for a sack, you should be calling for more rope...that way you’d have something to put in your precious sack...after a further bit of terminal kicking!

Lallana is better than any AM we had last year, with the exception of Coutinho maybe, but he's inconsistent. Our bench is also better than last years was. What a joke. The full backs are absolutely minimal upgrades if really at all. Lallana better than any AM we had last year is just deluded. Check out his stats for us compared to the others. He is woeful. Has been woeful, and is doing what anyone with real football sense said he would do as soon as we signed him. If you were to give our starting eleven a 'score', it has 100% factually plummeted, and we spent 120 million for the privileged. We could have spent the Suarez money on a few top players that would have overall maybe even increased the effectiveness of our first 11, but we didn't. In fact we bought a bunch of players no better than we already had.

Interesting that most so called 'experts' who must have some 'footballing sense' seemed to think your man Lallana would be a great but and fit into our system well.

It was hilarious reading some of the posts on here. Improvements were made agreed, the committee remains to blame bs, Brendan can't be blamed bs and my personal favorite Flanagan is better than Moreno and Manquilo combined BS! ai wena! eish!

noun [oops]·trar·i·an \kən-ˈtrer-ē-ən, kän-\.
If all else fails say that word outstanding a couple of times. The more you do the more you will believe your own spin.

Fair play I might have gone a bit overboard as I was utterly shocked to see what he said about Lallana who has thus far demonstrated himself to be a calamitous signing, but if you think pundits or whoever is in charge of our transfer business are experts then you're as deluded as he is. Most of the 'cerebral' papers and football 'experts' had Lallana down as a massively overpriced and overhyped English man, but then again aren't they all.
