Well obviously not. Unless one of those accounts purporting to be a player has the verified tick I wouldn't even begin to assume it was the player, especially when it's a post like that.

What in the name of god was he thinking?

My guess is that he was thinking he'd need to save himself the CL final and didn't need the extra games in the FA Cup.

Divock Origi has now missed each of his last 5 penalties across all competitions.

That was his first for Liverpool.

Neil Warnock's some tit.

What does he actually say? Gerrard's reaction...looks like he is going to deck him.

Looking at that picture that was one of the most woeful penalties ever taken. I think I'd prefer if he ballooned it over the bar.

They're talking about it being cold and Warnock says something about they don't have windows in houses in Liverpool.

Poor chap looked like he was on death row stepping up for it. The best of them dont.

Saido scored again this evening.

Wasn't a great pen, it was terrible. Didn't cost us so it doesn't matter thankfully.

Was a poor performance overall but it was enough.

4 home games in a row now too. Sound.

Tusky

When was our last great performance? Seems quite a while ago. The losses of Mane, Coutiniho, Matip and the loss of form of Firmino have really hurt us.

Harry Palmr

Mane the stupid fecker, he's going to win the AfCoN and cost Liverpool the title!

Results have been good to great though it must be said so has it really "hurt us"? To spin it a different way we have found several ways now to gain points, not just by blowing a team away with a fantastic performance.

I wont be overly worried about performance as long as we continue to pick up points, and with key players coming back you would hope performances improve. Its a concern but nothing to get worried about just yet. (Not saying you are worried or anything)

We've 4 games in the last 11 days of Jan, all at Anfield. It'll be busy in L4. 4 victories would be just what the Klopp-ter (sorry) ordered.

theoneeyedman

What's the story with Matip, I guess he's still not playing on Saturday. Crazy stuff.....

What part does the club pay in this? It's the second time in 12 months we have lost a player for bogus reasons, after pulling Sahko last year in the erroneous belief that he couldn't play.

Someone needs to get their act together IMHO at administrative level (once is unfortunate, twice is careless). There is enough money swilling around to get top legal advice, and know the rules inside out. At the very least, someone should know whose palm needs to be greased to get the Cameroon FA to sign the release for him.

Agent Coulson

If he isn't cleared by FIFA we won't be able to play for us again till 5 days after the tournament finishes even if Cameroon get knocked out early.

Yea I know that, but thus was mooted ages ago as a possibility. The club should have been on top of it, and done 'what was necessary' in my opinion to get it sorted out.

Articles like this will ruin our reputation for being the worst fans in the world.

You're assuming that the club can actually do something about it. What do you think that might be?

Had it clarified with FIFA that his retirement was legitimate the same as Scholes and Milner who retired early to prolong their club careers.

Yea, making an assumption alright. One would assume that either FIFA can be persuaded to make a decision on it, or that the someone in the Cameroon FA can be persuaded to sign something to clear the matter up. There are different ways to persuade FIFA and African FA officials, and many of them involve envelopes, cash, and bank accounts.
I might be wrong in my assumption, but following on from the non suspension of Sahko last year, it looks like there is mismanagement somewhere on the Liverpool end.

Agent Coulson

He didn't officially retire though he just refused to play for the current management team.

FIFA are to go make a decision tomorrow so we shall see

Liverpool knew perfectly well that Mane Matip was refusing to play for Cameroon Senegal, not that he had retired as players cannot actually retire - they can only agree with their FA not to be recalled.

Considering he was born and plays for Senegal he had every right to refuse!!!!

I'm pretty sure it's 5 days after Cameroon exit, not the end of the tournament as the federation will have no right to him after that.

Well I'm only going by what they were talking about on 5live last night when discussing the whole affair.

Matip and Mane have been the signings of the season... And both unavailable at what is effectively crunch time

January is never crunch time. Crunch time will be the run in hopefully.

Aguero would be the stuff of dreams, unfortunately I'd make it about a 1% chance of happening! Maybe Barca will sign him and King Luis will come back, that would actually be the ultimate dream. Suarez and Klopp = guaranteed league title.

To challenge on all fronts (CL & PL) Man City I'd imagine will (they should be anyway) be trying to keep Aguero. Plenty games to be played and this Jesus chap is quite young and of course not PL proven.

Can see Aguero leaving though if he doesn't fancy playing the Pep way.

Bowlardo

Will lucas head in jan or wait till the summer? Also southampton are seriously tight coming in for a loan for sakho .

If he isn't hard working enough for Pep I doubt Juergen would go with him.

Didn't Klopp say during the week that Lucas was staying in January?

Fitz*

Lucas will stay I think. Probably some sort of gentleman's agreement that he will go to Inter in the summer, after years of speculation of going there!


I still think if we can stay within 5 points of the top with the last 9 games to go, anything is possible. Liverpool, Chelsea & United have all shown at various stages of the season so far what a run of 4 or 5 or 6 wins in a row can do to league position & points.

You'd think Iheanacho would be under more pressure from the Jaysis signing.

Was it not rumoured that they wanted a loan deal until he's out of contract...... and also they not willing to pay 100% of his wages or something really scabby/typical from them like that. (as you say, S'ton now going Italian style).

To be fair to S'ton Sakho has had run ins with two LFC managers so I can see why they'd want a loan deal for half a season to see what they are getting.
