As i was saying, if i need to explain to you why Markovic and Lallana have been good buys, its pointless. They are young and anyone who knows football can see they have a lot to offer. The question is, could we have bought better for 42m? I definitely think yes and there was no need to buy both. IMO, Markovic is a waste of money as we have young Ibe who could have done at least the same job as the latter this season. In fact, with Markovic's and Balotelli's money (36m) we could have bought a top striker, I Costa has cost less as an example. Bing bing bing, this. And it is this which Ninja fails to understand making his post (as he self titled) pointless. Not to mention the fact that he is desparately grasping for straws suggesting that Markovic has been anything but average at absolute best thus far. We 100% percent could have bought someone more valuable to the team than those two for their combined fee and wages. A real class player as opposed to 2 players who have been okay and might turn out to better, but most definitely haven't yet.

Enjoyed the performance yesterday. When coutinho is in that kind of form he's a joy to watch and I'm sure play with as well.
Great to see Sturridge get a goal quickly, that will help his confidence.
Defence better, still shaky at times but much improved.
What we could have done if we bought quality instead of mediocrity, buying one class player instead of Lallana and Markovic would have made a world of difference this season. How is that sharing around of the goals and assists going that we lost when suarez went as was tauted by a few that we wouldn't miss his goals as the rest of the team will score more ? Our biggest f uck up was not buying a top class forward with the suarez money second biggest not buying a class MF third keeper in the summer oh wait a minute in jan too ? fully agree with both of the above posts, its self evident to all who watch football, that signing quality players, while not risk free, is a safer bet than signing prospects. Its therefore totally reasonable to say that had we signed 2 - 3 quality players, instead of 9 hopeful prospects, we could expect to be much better off, points wise, now than we are.

We know the answer to that Ninja...... the structure at the club. Most of us can see what is needed, but I'm with Stan on this, winning things is a bonus to profit motivated odds with ROI by Henry.
That is the priority. But LFC hasn't made much profit for a long time, so which return on investment are we talking about?

Haha! Nice sum up Stan! That was one of the first things I noticed the first time I came to England in the winter. In Sweden (and probably at most places round the world) people dress according to the weather outside. This in turn means most people more or less wear the same type of clothes and accessories at any given point in time. But obviously not in England! You can easily spot both t-shirts, shorts, thick winter jackets, boots, trainers, sandals and whatever - at the same time! I find this very entertaining!  Not in Beirut, my friend, not in Beirut.

I think we're on a goal diff of +8 all others bar UTD are 19 or more with chelsea on +32 huge down turn in our goals for tally huge ! liverpool's goal diff is massively improving , as before christmas it was minus . Would you mind not using "massively" and our goal difference in the same sentence?

Alan Shearers quote tonight on match of the day;" Sturridge has done more today than Bolletetti has done all season." Classic!!!!! Balotelli has won a hell of a lot more than Shearer in just a few short years. Probably a little jealousy from Al? Shearer's trophy cabinet wouldn't be big enough to hold one of Mario's fireworks. Jealousy from Shearer? Lol. Alan Shearer was one of the best strikers the game has ever produced, EVER. Ballotelli might have a few medals but he couldn't lace Shearers boots FFS! I'm not saying Mario is better than Shearer - no one would be that stupid. But....success is determined by various criteria. Some might say Shearer did better because of his personal goals haul. But what has he got to show for it now? I bet he'd love to have Mario's medals so yes, there probably is more than a little jealousy.
