I'm obviously not the only one, klopp too. Hahaha, darcus, can you honestly say suarez was going to be world class even after his first season? If you could, you'd be lieing, no one talked about him like that. Though, I think Suarez will always be better than firmino, suarez's eye for goal, I think he'd even be proud of that strike against arsenal, oh and that one where he smashed the bar against sunderland. Oh yes - that career highlight of hitting the crossbar! whoopee. As for Suarez - no I didn't think he'd end up being as good as he was. But he was still infinitely better than Firmino and had a much better record at his previous club(s). Just shows what he's capable of, like I said, Suarez would be proud of those strikes. You think smashing the bar from 28 yards with 2 players infront of him, and the strike against arsenal are flukes? That says it all. Your key defence of Firmino is that he once hit the bar i.e., had a shot off target. Well done. With standards that low you must be looking forward to us reaching that glorious target of 40 points to ensure premier league safety. If you watch that glorious strike out of nothing, it's actually was finger-tipped onto the bar, so how can it be off target? I think you need to go back to learning the basics of football: what is a shot on target defence? whose attacking him, oh wait you. Darcus give me your team for next season, and who'd you'd like to see realistically brought in to replace players like firmino who you clearly don't rate. Because I'm intrigued as to how you think klopps going to get top four next season. Don't avoid the question by talking about firmino, just answer

will be interesting to see if benteke starts, he did have some good moments against Exeter setting up 2 goals, but then fluffed some easy chances. I just think this is a good game to play him in.
I'd be tempted to start Allen, he's been decent recently.
Maybe:
------------Allen---------can------------
Ibe--------------Hendo-------Firmino
------------------Benteke-------------- I'd probably agree with this, though I might change the order of hendo, firmino and ibe, maybe not I like this. I've seen klopp's comments about benteke after the exeter match, I'm glad he's still encouraging him, and yes he was largely involved in the creation of 2 of the goals, can he do that against norwich, lol that would be great

Just gonna add chelsea are only 6 points behind us as well. At one point they were 11. It would be major disappointment if we didnt finish above them. We cannot get top 4 because we arent gonna sign 7/8 players this transfer window but one or two will help boost us up.
If im honest about this match im gonna say a score draw 1-1 or 2-2. These games can be harder because norwich are down in the deep fight relegation battle.

Not to mention they are unbeaten in 5 at home, doesn't mean we can't win comfortably if we play as well as have at home, just with more clinical finishing, which I'm sure will come. Liverpool are actually 6th in all the european leagues this season so far for most shots per game, bear in mind we've pretty much changed the team setup every week, because we haven't got an overall team strong enough to consistently play to get the result, we've been hit by injuries almost incessantly, and it made sense to keep changing the setup to deal with the different types of opposition, almost all of which has contributed to unfair inconsistency on some of the players, like coutinho and can for instance. It shows that we do have an underestimated amount of quality in our team, and a good/very good workrate all round, more so than ever now under klopp. Imagine if we had a consistent better attacking setup, we'd probably be 2nd or 3rd for most shots per match in europe, and along as we increased our conversion rate by 25% we'd have more than enough for top four. Even if we can't get top four, we still have to aim for top four, otherwise yeah, we can start looking down the foot of the table.

LOL 25% I'm insane, more like 12.5%, so we average 2 more goals per game come the end of the season. And it's easier said than done, to increase our conversion rate, not that it can't be done with the lack of goalscorers currently in our team for various reasons. If it was so easy to convert more, Barcelona would be averaging 4/5 goals per game in the league, and not just winning the CL final 3-1, with the world class players they have in their squad, but a football team can only do so much I'm sad to say, with other teams improving in the same league/competition, finding ways of playing against them, and them themselves unable to sustain a level of performance so near perfection it would guarantee you roughly this many goals per game, or close to.
