Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2016, Mod Warning in OP, 10/7

martyos121

Off to bed now for an hour before I've to wake up again. Never regret watching a Liverpool game though, no matter how awful it was.

Ok, maybe I do a bit.

I didn't see the game but my twitter feed saying that the young lad Ejaria had another fine display.

Unfortunately Moreno was picked out for the wrong reasons.

got a glimpse of the goal on SSN. From a corner looked like pretty poor defending, Cahill I think

Palace have made a 20M bid for Berhino. Looks like they have given up on Benteke.

We're kind of short on numbers in defence so hopefully Ragnar going off because of this challenge by cesc, was only precautionary.

Looks a painful one.

He got a run on Grujic, who didn't get off the ground, and no-one on the post for a header from 8 yards.

Highlights not available on the website until tonight but I am sure they will appear somewhere. Fabregas sent off for a shin high late challenge on Klavan.

I think our problem was no goal threat with our two main strikers left out, and Firmino not quite up to speed yet.

We had twice as many passes, 89% accurate compared to 79 for them, and 65% possession. Chelsea parked the bus as usual, nothing changes there. Which in pre-season is pathetic. Or they just weren't up to pace yet. Either way, I think we will have learned a lot more from the game tan they will.

I think you read far too much into these pre season friendlies. This is all about fitness.

Bang on, results and performances don't matter, it's all about being ready for the first Premier League game of the season.

marklazarcovic

that was a pure cnut of a challenge by fabregas

Vicxas

What a cnut of a challenge from Fabregas. Fcuking asshole

Knex*

You have to be an almighty thundering cunt to do that in a preseaon friendly.

Grayditch

I still like Sakho, I hope he cops himself on.

I also hope someone is as heavy on Fabregas soon.

Yeh I know, which is why it's disappointing that Chelsea spent so much time defending instead of giving us more of a challenge. But I guess we worked on our passing and different ways to break a team down.

He's always been a snide little bollix. I won't be weeping and keening if I see him turned upside down on 16th September.

calm down , Fabregas went into the liverpool dressing room afterwards to apologise , red card was deserved end of , liverpool were all huff and puff with no quality

You're not worried that Chelsea parked the bus and had a man sent off for a pretty bad tackle in a pre-season friendly? A taste of things to come? Looks like ye could be even harder on the eyes under Conte than ye were under the Man Utd manager.

Let me be the first to congratulate Chelsea on their fantastic performance.

I didn't see him going off after it? Didn't he finish the game?

Looked a lazy clumsy tackle, but was a bad one, definite red.......

Grujic ended up in hospital not remembering anything after also, was a ****ing friendly apparently...

Yup himself and Karius were the only liverpool players to complete the full 90.

I was going by a tweet that I had read.

Loveren had to be substituted after being punched in the head.

Friendly sounds about right.*










*punch was from the Liverpool goalie.

Muahahaha

"I spoke. You cannot argue when only one person is speaking. That’s all"

No doubting Klopp wont put up with any crap. Hopefully 10 days at Melwood will get Sakhos mind right. He is 27 next December so the messing around really has to stop

That one was an accident,in fairness.

The Mourinho influence still in place. Hopefully Ragnarok has a receipt for Fabregas once we have the league game wrapped up.

Will be interesting to see how long it takes that lot to turn on Conte.

Poor game by all accounts, nothing really to read into. Ejaria had a good game though and Klavan got some great reports.

On the Sakho thing I think too much is been made of it, he's not finished at the club or anything. He's a bit of a joker and class clown and yes Rodgers has had problems with him but there's nothing malicious from him I'd say, he's a good lad.

He has also had a very tough few months over this doping scandal, missing out on 2 European finals for been accused of something you didn't do is tough to take. He's just blowing off a little steam I reckon.

Nerdlingr

There's being the class clown and blowing off steam and then there's not turning up on time for flights and training sessions, group meals etc. Two very different things. Yet, once again, Sakho gets the excuses made for him on here. Fair play to Klopp for taking no sh*t, no matter who the player is. Love the quote from him as well "You cannot argue when only one person is speaking" , pure Brian Clough stuff.

True enough. I love Sakho but he needs to knuckle down now and cut that crap out.

No one is making excuses for Sakho. He is under big pressure to help get the main stand finished in time it's why he flew back imo.

They can always go back to Hiddink when needed, then hire a flavour of the month/highly respected manager, give them a few months and wait for the Mourinho effect to wear off else where. Then cry for Mourinho to be reinstated because he has unfinished business at Chelsea. Then repeat if necessary.

The Chelsea way.

He has trouble with deadlines though......

Not making excuses for him, Klopp did the right thing and Rodgers did too last year when he was out of line. I was just saying he had a tough summer, I think the club/Klopp will sit him down and tell him how it is. He's not going to be immediately transfer listed.

Sorry rob didnt mean you were making excuses for him per se. Sakho is a favorite on here, so many people will give him the more leeway than others get.

OwaynOTT

Sakho isn't cut out for professional football if he can't keep deadlines and get in on time, reckon he should get into the public sector.
We're in a bad way for construction here and he'd sort it.

Turtyturd

I'm a big fan of Sakho but wouldn't be making excuses for him here. The club already has the poster (man)child for what happens when footballers constantly act the tit, so hopefully someone points out to Sakho what could happen and he knuckles down...and as an added benefit Balotelli will have made some kind of impact at the club.

I can't help but be impressed with Klopp's handling of it though. Authoritative rather than authoritarian, he's confident in his position and would be willing to move past it rather than constantly holding it against the player like our previous manager.

I still get a good laugh out of the fans who thought he was back long term last time.

Ragnar will be ready to start if Sakho is late. Vikings are never late.

Ragnar the Ready - I think I'll go with that!

What I want to know is, what was Klavan doing before he got tackled?
He kind of ran away, done a little bit of a 360, then ran to the ball.

I see a few Chelsea players surrounded the ref straight after the red as well, JT was up to his usual having a word too. I hope they actually follow through this season with this new rule of booking players surrounding the ref. Stop this sh*t once and for all.
