Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2016/2017

Re telly money - just wait till Discovery decide to get involved - the game will be split into 4 quarters and there will be a Southern and Northern Premier League with the winner of each play for the overall league title at Wembley in January May.

Happy birthday to a true Liverpool legend......

...Roy Evans pic snipped.

Do people really regard him as a true Liverpool legend?

That word gets bandied about too much.

Granted, he was a coach to some great managers but he has to be regarded as a failure as a manager as he managed a tam of under-performers, allowed the Spice Boys to thrive, white Armani suits etc.

I don't see that as warrants legendary status.

Unless there are strikers coming in Jan surely there is no way Klopp is gonna let Origi go. He hasn't regained his form of last year but Klopp likes him and his industry it seems.

I like him and if he gets a run in the team I think he is certainly capable of first team football with us. Playing with the rest of our foward style players will bring him on and I think he has a good future ahead.

I actually had a think about this rumour. I wonder would Origi get more game time there in a January loan than he would with us. Whilst we could bring in someone who could really push the current starters, by push i mean keep them more 'honest', if you get my drift. Origi is at an important time in his development and i remember back in the day when Henry went to Juve aged 22. He needs games.

If he went there I don't see how he would get regular game time any more than he would at Liverpool. Juve already have arguably the best front two in Serie A with Dybala and Higuian. They also have Pjaca (more of a winger than forward) and Mandzukic in reserve.

klose

I assume juve want him on a two year loan deal with an obligation to buy for 10 million after he gets 50 starts and we subsidise 60% of his wages for his loan spell?

Cause that's what it seems to be like dealing with them Italians...

5starpool

For someone like Origi, no matter how much Klopp likes him or wants to keep him, if he is not getting the game time, he won't want to stay, especially if someone like Juve come in, providing there are better prospects of playing time there. I hope he doesn't leave, but as with anything else, I fully trust Klopp's judgement in all these things.

5starpool

Uh-oh, Klopp nominated for manager of the month in September. Hopefully he doesn't win it.

J Mysterio

Juventus can **** off

ben.schlomo

Cant see how or where he fits in as a starter at Juve so id imagine this is just paper nonsense. Theyve a very strong array of attackers so he wont go there and start for sure.

Well whatever about a 6 month loan he should be getting plenty of game time next season with European football.

I suppose we were in the unusual position that we'd 5 or 6 strikers at the club in the Summer with no European football to plan for. Had to get rid of 2 and then Sturridge can't be relied on injury wise, Ings coming back as well.

Bloody hilarious, for years we cried out for good back up strikers, even just 1, then we get them and we get a manager who picks Firmino up front, and does a damn good job at it.

The joys of supporting Liverpool.

Harry Palmr

Liverpool don't have a player up front - the whole Klopp thing is about the collective - 4 in this case, they are all doing the same thing and it's working as all four have scored three times already. Focal point/s have been replaced by units and phases of play.

Vicxas

If Juve cant get Origi, they'll settle for Sturridge..... :rolleyes:

Dammit!

I'm already dreading the 17th. Mourinho with another park the bus tactic and a mis-hit shot from Rooney falls to Ibrahimovic and they win 1-0.

Mourinho is back the papers will say. Klopp suffers the dreaded manager of the month award.

dogbert27 wrote: »

........... Mourinho with another park the bus tactic.............

He'll 100% park the bus and they won't play it out from the back either, they'll bypass their defence and CMs largely to negate our pressing.

I'd fully expect him attempt to nullify both our counter and our pressing game.

He's not going to come to Anfield and play like Swansea did last week.

It will be interesting to see what Klopp has planned because all being equal no one will expect us to keep a clean sheet so we'll quite likely need to score at least once to get anything from the game.

In the greater scheme of things it matters little as we have been putting most teams to the sword :cool:

5starpool

Ibrahimovic being so good in the air (as well as the ground obv) will cause us problems too. Hopefully Fellaini will only be brought on late on when they are a 3 goals down and reeling. I can dream anyhow, although given that Utd function worse with Fellaini in the side, it would be better if he played.

Agent Coulson

Fellaini won't know what to do in the game if he plays anyway as he won't have Jesus Joe's head walking into his elbow all the time this time around.

Always nice to see Klopp getting recognition for his coaching... And Pardew voting for himself of course.

Bandana boy

Not only to avoid the superstition of winning the thing but I would actually give it to Pochettino myself
Spurs looked awesome last month and put a what until then looked an unstoppable city to the sword at the weekend.
Only team now unbeaten in league and one bad result in Europe aside have started pretty much perfectly

The City result was in October though. Us, them and City are I believe the 3 teams to win all their league games in September, but I might be missing someone like Palace. Who cares about Crystal Pardew though.

:eek: He does? Possibly the least surprising manager in the all time history of least surprising managers. I'll be very surprised if he has a surprise. No, he'll not be taking any risks - quelle surprise.

They say "not one" specifically because the reality is it'd be so much more than one. They had some right to be cocky about their squad 10 years ago but it really isn't anything special now, otherwise they'd be far higher up the table.

Howard Gayle, the first black player to play for Liverpool, has an autobiography out now if someone is looking for something to get me for christmas:P

It's called '61 minutes in Munich' and looks interesting.

An interesting piece on different types of pressing, with Klopp, Pochettino and Mourinho included.

HG was a "respected" football hooligan in the Liverpool hooligan ranks before playing for the club, tough young lad.
