Another window of no (decent) strikers

O'Brien confirmed by Sky Sports

Juan Sheet signing from Plenty C.F.

Heard we have signed Swede Fuch All

Watching Barca 2011 and Spain in 2012 it was unreal to watch but it has now gotten tedious with even crap teams trying to copy this style of play, especially whent he players aren't good enough to do it and they persevere time and again with split centrebacks receiving the ball from the keeper on the 6 yd box. I watched the Liverpool v Arsenal 1989 game there recently and I enjoyed that style of football better. More direct but more entertaining too. There are no teams who are unashamedly long ball anymore. There's no players that take on players and go on a dribbly run. There's no sweeper systems or out and out wingers whipping balls in. And the short corner is the most infuriating tactic in modern football.

I lost interest int he FA Cup yonks ago but actually watched this game and it was a real throwback to old pe internet age FA Cup games. Old fashioned ground and dodgy pitch, pylon floodlights and no fannying about with the ball. Good old long balls, long throws. Route 1 can be exciting if executed well.

Now make like a tree and get outta here

Can we not sign some proven players instead of taking on more kids? I'd like to see someone like Obafemi sign. any news on whether Van HEcke might come back? Ayala cant play out from the back but I'd like him to stay all the same

That would be the last thing a celebrity would want these days. A big slogan on the side advertising that its their car! Shearer's interviews were so boring in the 90s. ''Its always nice to be top of the table''. He went a bit wild on his goal celebrations though. In 92/93 he had a raised right arm and extended index finger routine. It then turned into the right arm int he air and all the fingers extended.

I lost interest while I was cryogenically frozen

The FA Cup against Newcastle. Yes good goal. Also scored a nice one versus Sheff Wed in the Coca Cola Cup at Ewood before Warhust destroyed us.

What's fans opinions on him? Was disappointed when Kenny sold him that time although Gallacher was a great buy. Always thought Wegele had a bit of class and had great feet.

Nothin but 90s baby

Crap chants. Keeper taking a kick out ''you're shit ahahaah'' ----- -------- FC are by far the greatest team the world has ever seen and its --------- ------------

Question I asked a while back but never got an answer. The steel pillars that hold up the walkersteel stand now, are they the same steel pillars from the old pre 1988 Riverside? It appears to me they didnt actually rebuild the stand but technically modified it as the skeleton of the original structure appears intact. Looks liek they changed from a two tier to single tier terrace and changed the roof. Then a couple years later put int he seats post Hillsborough. The pillars never moved position the whole time throughout with two different roofs. Different concrete steps were put in I think.

His son

Well they can play nice football next season in the championship then. Hard to believe they got Ancelotti a few years ago. He was way out of their league.

surprised Sean Dyche hasn't been snapped up. Can see him going to Everton any day now.

This team have not won as much as one point from conceding first. Absolute joke. Spineless displays. As I have said this team needs a couple of Gordon Cowans type signings. A couple of experienced hard men in the middle.

His last interview saying how they are not even thinking about the playoffs or promotion is baffling. Maybe behind the scenes he and the team are (or maybe he isn't) but you want to inspire the fans that they are out to achieve something not 'we'll increase the value of the young players by cheating the passing accuracy statistic''

I always wondered why the upper tiers of the new stands had a different colour seats to the lower tiers. The upper tier are a lighter shade of blue.

Sad end for a great player. RIP

Ànyone else not giving a toss about the FA Cup? It ceased to be important around 2000

No doubt but it pure tokenism just to fulfill a PC box ticking exercise. For me football is a lads thing to get away from the women like women have a girls night out to get away from the men. They wouldn;t like it if the men started going along cramping their style.

Its getting particularly annoying alright. You see a breaking news banner and the presenter announces Liverpool have made a big signing and its some female player. Total con job. Also every pundit panel having either a female presenter or female pundit on almost every game. Its like one of your mates bringing his girlfriend on a stag do.
