[So Instinct]

Welcome to the 8th edition of the Liverpool FC thread.




My idea was to build Liverpool into a bastion of invincibility. Napoleon had that idea. He wanted to conquer the bloody world. I wanted to be untouchable.
My idea was to build Liverpool up and up until everyone would have to submit, give in.

Above all, I would like to be remembered as a man who was selfless, who strove and worried so that others could share the glory,
and who built up a family of people who can raise their heads up high and say 'We are Liverpool'.

- Bill Shankly

Liverpool Prediction League

Spoiler:

Show

How it works
You can post a prediction that consists of what you think the final score will be in the game and you are allowed to name one player (from either team) who you think will score. For Example the post should look like this:
[3-2 to Liverpool, Gerrard to score.] or... [2-2, Rooney to score].
After the first game of the season I will also be taking in predictions of were you think Liverpool will finish in the league, the same will happen at the end of the January.


Scoring System
- 1 point for predicting one teams correct score.
- 3 points for a completely correct score (i.e getting both teams scores right).
- 1 point for naming a scorer.(only allowed to name 1 person).
- 12 points for guessing the correct final league position for Liverpool in August.
- 6 points for guessing the correct final league position for Liverpool on January 31st.

Rules
- Only allowed 1 post per game/league position prediction.
if you predict twice and/or change it, then whatever I see first will be taken.
- You can make predictions from the night before the game until kickoff. Anything after kickoff wont be counted.
- Quote me in your predictions if possible to make everything run smoother.

I made it too easy. I could smell some irony in it too.

[pbsjohnz]

It's looking pretty good now.

[kog]

Chelsea fan just popping in here to congratulate you guys on the 4-1 win the other day :P, Still very suprised by the outcome of the FA cup final though, Liverpool seemed the much stronger team in the second half suprised you guys didnt pull it back!

Good plan

Who do you guys want as the new manager, given it's unlikely Rafa will be it now? AVB, Martinez or someone else?

[kuks]

Subbed. AvB is probably the most likely right now IMO. Would prefer him to Martinez obviously.

[orionmoo]

Bonjourno.

Would prefer AvB to Martinez. Wish it were Rafa. We shall see....

[mr tim]

AVB for sure - he did brilliantly for Porto, whilst Martinez was fighting for relegation a couple of seasons. Yes Martinez has possibly done well for Swansea but I think it was at a lower league.

AVB wasn't really suited for Chelsea, but that doesn't mean he'll won't be suited for us.

But of course, I'll back whichever manager we get.

[Gob Bluth]

I don't reckon Martinez will get it tbh.

I reckon it will either be AVB or some outsider who is not in the running that no one has really thought about.

[Mr.Messy]

Subbed.

AVB would be my first choice.

[Stirlo]

Out of the options which seem more likely I'd prefer AVB

[Angry cucumber]

Subbed

Next manager hmmm.... I would like Rafa and I would be willing to give AVB a go. Martinez however, I think he would be too much of a risk; and the last time we went for a lower down the table manager it didn't end great.....

[Darth Vader 7]

Subbed.

I don't think AVB is given enough credit. He's a good manager who is very young. He has fresh ideas that could positively influence Liverpool.
