    yeah all of those players are trash anyway and never competing for a spot.
    are there any more kids coming through the system that can step up?

    Rhian Brewster is very highly regarded striker and could come in as the 4th choice striker currently filled by Sturridge. He was on the bench against Barca. Ben Woodburn has stalled but is also one of promise - he's a winger or CAM role.

    Harry Wilson has had an excellent season for Derby and it's getting make or break time for him as a Liverpool player. Marco Grujic has also had a solid season out on loan but I expect he will be sold.

    Ki Jana-Hoever is a right back, Dutch, who can also play CB. Very young and played in FA Cup against Wolves. Big future but unlikely for next season. Rafa Camacho is a left winger, plays at left back too, whose name gets thrown around.

    Oxlade-Chamberlain will be like getting a new player again. I think Liverpool missed him this season - he offers something a bit different than the others who are more "workman-like"

    None others quite jumping out at me off the top of my head.

    Milner wasn't a guaranteed starter anyway, he came in for specific jobs/games. Their 1st team doesn't need work. They just need depth. Ox, is depth in 3 positions they didn't have this year.

    Gomez is depth in 2/3 positions as well.

    Whether they win the UCL or not, Liverpool could do with taking the domestic cups a bit more seriously - I know there is fixture congestion but picking up a cup or two will kill the Klopp "curse".

    If he loses to the Spuds he should get sacked anyway just for the hell of it!

    Winning the league cup is how Jose gave his squad the winning feeling and made them hungry and desperate for it again

    There's also been rumours that if Leeds return to the EPL that Milner might go there - that would be a massive loss.

    Liverpool need to recruit some depth up top this off-season and if Lallana goes, probably a midfielder or two. I wouldn't be surprised to see back up left and right back too.
    Midfield is the main area Liverpool need to recruit

    Your midfield are plodders really and you need to be addressing that area a bit more than anywhere else

    On.another note I am hoping these things happen

    Arsenal win the Europa
    Spuds win the UCL

    Can you imagine the burn if Chelsea and Liverpool win sweet **** all this season between them and Spuds are the Champions of Europe after not spending a £ in the off season

    The lulz will be epic if this happens

    Villa just beat West Brom in a penalty shootout for a place in the play off at Wembley

    Jedi subbed on at 122 minutes - first and only touch of the ball was his penalty, which he put away calmly

    Leeds v Darby tomorrow to see who plays them in the £200 million game on 27 May

    How was the mean mug he gave the Villa fans after he hit his pen.
    What complete tossers.
    Hope he and Terry get smashed 100-0 at Wembley.

    ****ing gypo.

    my neutrality is bending towards Leeds, purely because having Bielsa in the premier league would add even more hilarity to the managerial circus

    Never liked Leeds much but the Premier League will be a much better place having them in the Top Flight than not

    Been a long time in the wilderness since they got relegated to get back up

    The only way a Villa win will be acceptable is of they sack Jedinak on the spot, middle of the pitch at Wembley over the loudspeaker.
    Also if they refuse to let John Terry touch the trophy and just run away with it like Ribery does when his teammates used to try and throw beer on him.

    I've kind of blocked the John Terry thing out

    it's impossible to judge a team fairly with such an outlier

    this is why in statistics we often use median instead of mean - the sheer ****ishness of Terry would throw out Villa's ****itude score making it impossible to watch the game with anything approaching neutrality

    Neutrality is for nice people and accountants.
    I go into each game with maximum bile and indignation.
    If the gods are gonna present me with a chance to watch a racist shitbag like John Terry wallow in misery then praise Griff please let it be.

    Why would he care if Villa get promoted or not??

    He only there as Roman won't let him coach at Chelsea yet

    But when that day comes you know he be back like a flash

    Just another mercenary cashing a pay cheque until Chelsea come calling

    Same as Stevie G it written in the stars that he go back and coach the Scousers 1 day

    Your ability to post a stupid counter argument to an obviously stupid post remains impeccable.

    Congrats.
