Does anybody know what time the players will be turning up for the ch
a game?
I don't know however there is a rumour going around that the Chelsea players won't be getting off the bus. a game?They are simply going to park it in front of the goal for 90 mins, do a U-turn and leave.

Our defence unfortunately is at best mid table level. Hopefully it'll get addressed over the summer else we'll get destroyed in Europe next season.Really don't see Mignolet as a long term answer. Don't think I've ever sean a successful team in Europe with a keeper with such poor distribution and weak in commanding his box. Hopefully we bring in some quality competition for him.

Personally (as a Reading fan) I can see Brodgers going for Alex McCarthy, young great shot stopper (who's young enough for his distribution to be fixed). But what if it comes down to a point?

Another one we had at Yeovil on loan - I was really impressed with him and at one point, thought he might make the plane to Brazil but I think he'll miss out now sadly.
I'm really looking forward to seeing who we try and go in for at the end of the season in the window. I think if we win the league it should help with some deals where previously we have missed out to other clubs (Salah and Willian as good examples).
The shame is, Man Utd sacking Moyes has probably given them a chance of getting players we previously probably stood a better chance than them of signing.
Would be interesting to see how much Rodgers gets. I hope there isn't a view from the board of 'we've won the league, why do we need to spend anything?' Our squad desperately needs strengthening to compete next season in 4 competitions, especially if we want to retain top 4.
Any stadium expansion should surely help with ongoing costs like wages, which should help improve our chances of securing deals.

Mignolet almost single handedly kept us in games at the start of the season.
We were dire, he was amazing. Man of the match awards and double penalty saves etc.
I'm happy with him and he's young and can improve.

One thing Liverpool always did well was stability. Let's try and keep it that way.

I agree. Experience will come and I believe he will go on to be a great keeper. Takes time to settle at a club like Liverpool. Some players adapt instantly, others takes time to find their feet and become comfortable with the expectations and history.I'm happy with him and he's young and can improve.
Also regards the defence, whilst obviously they have leaked a lot of goals this season, I don't think it needs an overhaul - just better defensive coaching. If someone can coach them how to push up just before a ball is played in, that will reduce the number of goals conceded. If someone can coach Skrtel to stop holding on to players shirts, that will reduce the chances of penalties being conceded. If someone can coach Sakho to stop fleeing like a virgin retreating from the amorous advances of Don Juan when the opposition approach him, that would also help. Better coaching would help. I would however look for long term replacements for left and right back.
