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

SuperTortoise

Terrible, just terrible from front to back, start to finish.

Klopp has no intention of starting Sturridge on thurs night seeing as he gave him 90 today, but i trust him, he will bring success.

I know theres a temptation to dismiss this as a meaningless end of season dead rubber, but thinking of the Pool fans that travelled to the match plus this James Pearce tweet, why are games on at this time of the day considering the distance between the 2 clubs?

Its going to be a huge summer for Liverpool withs ins and outs. Kind of looking forward to it. Lets hope we can win the UEFA Cup and get that champions league place!

We should sell Ibe before his stock falls even further. Might get 10-15m for him. Today showed why Firmino,Can,Lallana, & Milner always start.

We'd be lucky to get 10-15m Yen for him mate.

Bild are running with Klopp wanting Timo Horn.

€9m buyout clause.

He's contracted till 2019 or something, but according to twitter rumours he's keen on a move.

We're mostly down to the C team here and the game was a complete dead rubber anyway so I'm not too concerned in general.

I doubt many of those playing are long term options for the first team squad, never mind the first 11, or at the very least, several years away from being so - I certainly haven't written any of the young lads off.

Clyne and Coutinho are the only ones nailed on for the first team with Lovren, Lallana and maybe Sturridge (he's looking more likely to get the boot by the week) locked in for the squad.

The spine of our team has been ripped out and it's showing at the moment.

That's a steal, only seen him play four times at most this season but he looks as promising as Butland at less than half the asking price.

His distribution is also miles better than Mignolet's, could be as good as Reina's one day.

I'd be all over that for €9m.

Didn't see the game, but how did Ward do? I see a lot of people saying he was the only player to play well? Well enough to start more?

Not often a keeper can concede 3 and hold his head high but that was him today, the only one that played well.

Based on the two games i've seen him play i'd have no problem with him starting for us next season, but that's only based on 2 games so a risk none the less.

Gather round folks.

So then, Martin Skrtel.............

Skrtel was a 'good defender' and one of the hallmarks of that Liverpool team that finished midtable for several successive seasons.

He's not what we want for where we want to be.

Sturridge turning into Balotelli
''why always me''
Sturridge needs to be more of a team player, he's becoming a self inflicted outcast. Hope he starts Thursday, he has 100 hours to recover. No excuse not to play him, we need him and Coutinho in team.

mav79

With the amount of backing off Skrtel does, I'm convinced he thinks he's playing last man back.

This is why Klopp dropping him doesn't bother me. Sturridge seems to have a bit of a chip on his shoulder about being challenged by both fans and manager over his mentality.

You can see by his body language on the pitch, even when he's playing well, that he has an attitude problem. Constantly poe faced like Torres all those years ago and it can eftect team spirit. So if he wants to continue moaning I've no problem with Klopp being hard on him.

I think if the team spirit is good you can afford 1 stroppy striker. The players know what he is like.

Jimmy McGovern's 'Hillsborough' being reaired tonight on ITV at 10.20.

Skrtel was part of a very good team,set up by a top class tactical manager which him look a good defender.

I would imagine Skrtel won't be in the reckoning next season. Hopefully he's sold in the summer.

City are in the same vote as us Europe or nothing.

Interesting fact - all appearances

Kolo Toure

13 PL games 1 loss
Europe 6 games and 1 loss
League Cup 4 games and 1 loss in normal time and extra time

So that's 23 games of which only 5 were as a sub and three losses.

Agent Coulson

Next seasons 3rd kit.

I'd buy that.

SuperTortoise

That kit is nice.

Pretty Dortmund-ish?
Poor result today with a mainly second string side.
Big game Thursday & the starting XI will be a big call for Klopp

He brings a sense of calm and experience to the backline. Look at Lovren yesterday with Skrtel - he seemed more nervous. It showed throughout the team.

Toure has been a valuable member of the side this season.

For me, he has to start on Thursday. The team essentially picks itself at this stage though, IMO.

Mignolet
Clyne - Lovren - Toure - Moreno
Milner - Allen
Lallana - Coutinho - Firmino
Sturridge

The only real question is whether Klopp starts Lucas and, if so, who does he drop. I think we have to go for it from the very start because they'll be tough to break down.

Villareal beat Valencia 2-0 yesterday too. Much better preparation than what we had!!

10 changes. Only Soldado retained his place.

The win secured 4th spot for them in the league this season with 2 games to spare.

Harry Palmr

They finished 4th in a 3 team league!

I'm watching the last episode later and managed to avoid spoilers until now. Bastards.

I actually started watching BB when it first came out, stopped watching at season 4 as I hated waiting on episodes to come out, then I never got around to finishing, but thanks for ruining the end though for when I do bother my hole catching up....

Also had GoT spoiled for me since I woke up via a tag on a YT video on my TV this morning also.... (thanks IGN)

Can someone spoiler me the result of yesterday's match? :P

Looks like he's the second last.

I left my leg of lamb in the fridge all week and was looking forward to a nice Sunday dinner. I avoided restaurants, supermarkets and all those cooking magazines, shows blogs etc but when I went to enjoy my meal on Sunday, it was spoiled when I went to cook it.
Impossible to avoid spoiling nowadays.
In future, I'm just going to come my meals straight away. It's the only way to avoid spoiling.

Oh dear. I was only joking. Thought everyone that was interested would have seen it by now.

Go easy on the toure recognition, some don't appreciate his abilities, don't want to be upsetting people on a BH

There's nothing cryptic there. We must be mindful of fellow posters thoughts, some don't think Kolo deserves the praise he gets.

Im the ultimate hipster, I started hating it when everyone else started watching it.... :P

My issue was waiting for new episodes, it was bad enough trying to get through the first 3 seasons week by week, I just gave up by the fourth, lost interest and I ended up not watching it at all...

I will get around to it though - possibly in another 4 years....

I can't see Lucas not starting, with Moreno attacking and Sakho out we need a dedicated DM, against VR Allen might do the job but I don't see it happening.
