Watching our U21's playing Spurs (1-0 to us atm with a stunning goal), and a bit concerned to see the team playing, a few I would have thought would be possibles for tomorrow night. Caulker, Ojo, Brannagan to name a few.

Nah, I'd expect us to play a full strength side tomorrow. Chance to get to a final and possibly win a trophy in Klopp's first season. Would be a big weight lifted off his shoulder after BR became the first Liverpool manager not to win a trophy in first three years.

As for the under 21's, nice to see the more 'senior' under 21's playing now. I liked it when they were on loan but at least when they're not on loan we get to watch them more often. I think Ojo could be the next one to break into the first team. Having said that, there's a lot of competition ahead of him so it will be difficult.

original point was that you said no players improved under BR.

did Henderson a better player under BR. Yes or No?

did suarez become a better player under BR. Yes or No?
I said I couldn't think of many players that did improve under Rodgers, not that there weren't any as you claim.

On Henderson, it's debatable for me whether there was a massive improvement. As I posted before, he played his part in 2013/14 but like many in that squad was riding on the momentum created by the 3 S's and Gerrard. He was poor like many others last season and I hope he now stays injury free and continues good form under Klopp.

I agree with posters saying this is like two bald men fighting over a comb as we debate previous managers.We currently have a man in charge who could really be special for LFC if given time and the ability to build a squad he wants.

If it falls through we will see the usual Ian Ayre is a joke etc etc.

To be fair though there is only so much he can do. If the club refuse to meet the asking price what is Ayre supposed to do. It's up to the club to make an offer that is somewhere near what shaktar are asking for because at the moment they are way off.

I can see us going back and offering Ł30M-Ł32M and hopefully that will be that. It's either done or it isn't and knowing Shaktar's previous it probably won't be enough. If they think we are desperate for the player they won't budge, but I'd rather we walked away than pay silly money in January.

The disappointing thing is we don't seem to be serious about anyone else at the moment and 'Texeira or nothing' doesn't really send out the best signal for leveraging a deal out of Shaktar. Even some interest in the likes of Berahino or someone like Gabbiadini from Napoli might make them think twice about rejecting our offers.

Didn't see anybody post about it yesterday so I will.

There are reports on the Hillsborough inquests, stating that the jury is to consider if the victims were unlawfully killed.

Given that it's still a court case I'm not entirely sure what if anything can be commented on but I'll try my luck.

The jury are given several questions, and in the case of the unlawful killings four questions need to be answered.

To find the fans were unlawfully killed and that Mr Duckenfield was responsible, Sir John told the jury they must answer four key questions:

- Firstly, that as match commander, he owed a duty of care to the 96 who died
- Secondly, that he was in breach of that duty of care by analysing his conduct before and on the day
- Thirdly, they must be sure his conduct caused or contributed to the deaths "not merely in a minimal way"
- Finally, the jury must be sure that, as match commander, Mr Duckenfield's conduct was so bad it amounted to "gross negligence", so bad it was equal to a criminal act or omission.
Over the next three weeks, the coroner will review 21 months of evidence before sending the jury out to consider its verdicts on 22 February.
Guess we'll have our answer relatively soon.

I just hope that the verdict is a true and just one - one that the families will feel is right for them to live with now. So many years of fighting for justice needs to have the right conclusion - it should never have taken this long, around 1/3 of a normal lifetime just to find the truth.

Yeah it's taken way too long, it shouldn't have taken a quarter of a century.

But it seems to finally be coming to a close. With the next memorial service being the last it could well be after the inquests are complete and the truth is out, or very nearly complete at the very least.

Better late than never I suppose.

On a more positive note, wonder if we'll see Rafa at the memorial service this year? He's out of a job at the moment and was at one of our games recently so I hope so.

Is that essentially laying the blame for the whole thing on him?

If those conditions are met then I'd guess so, even though he won't have been the only one at fault that day.

That's mental. I know obviously if he is in charge he carries the can but I thought the object of this wasn't to actually apportion blame? I admit im not fully up on the matter but I was surprised to read that just now.

Klopp turned down Real Madrid in the summer, according to their former president.

They tried to get Mourinho (first choice), then Joachim Low (second choice) and Klopp (third choice) before going for Benitez, who they didn't actually want.

...and we got him.

The main thing, to me, is the truth, rather than actual justice being served, but if any blame is to be given, him being in charge will mean he'll get the majority of it if he is at fault. But if we get the truth, the truthful truth, then he can't be the only one getting any blame or facing justice.

Yeah that was pretty much the way I saw it too.

Phil Thompson thinks Ryan Shawcross would be an ideal signing for us.

Because an injured centre-back is exactly what we need!

Caulker is "cup-tied", so he definitely won't be taking part.

Suárez says if he ever comes back to the Premier League it'll only be with us, and so it's got Liverpool fans jizzing with excitement, as if it's going to happen anytime soon.

He's going to end up like Xabi and Torres with getting linked with a return every transfer window.

I could see Suarez joining us in the twilight of his career, assuming of course that he's still got 'it' by the time he's 34/35.

He won't have the same impact of course, but it'd be nice to see him in red again one day.

At time likes these where we haven't got a reliable striker I really do miss Suarez & would have him back any time, but providing he has got his anger under control & not likely to use his teeth.
