Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2016/2017

8-10

Love the derby. Being a night game makes it even better. Hope it's as full throttle as some of the past ones. Barkley was excellent v Arsenal and whatever you think about him he's a really good player - but Gueye is equally one to look out for. He can really boss a midfield so we need to nullify both of them and win the midfield battle early on. Because of that I'd love to see Can, Hendo and Wijnaldum together with Origi dropped.

It would be terrible, just terrible, if something terrible were to happen to Funes Mori.

Whatever might happen to him, it still won't be enough.

Origi could do a back flip off his chest and it still wouldnt be as bad....

Another red card (but not for an assault injuring someone) and a 4-0 thumping for his team again will do me.

Unlikely to be that pleasurable though. Been a while since we got a late winner, hasn't it? I don't think it's happened this season that we've had an injury time winner (not for us anyhow), so tonight would be good for it.

In a season where we're challenging at the business end of the table, six early winners would do me just as nicely.

Our latest winning goal this season is Milner's pen v Swansea (1-2, goal in 84')

Our last injury time winner came against Dortmund. In the league it was, Lallana v Norwich (April and January respectively).

It has been a while!

Yawns

Ah I just remembered x43r0's post. Has to have a mention every now and again.

A win tomorrow and we are closest team to Chelsea, need that to be case come new year

4 teams have Boxing day off, Liverpool and Spurs are two of them.

Liverpool got screwed with the new year fixtures having to play 2 games in less than 48 hours, with travel in that time as well.

Both them and Man City requested to have later kick offs on the 2nd but the FA refused.

As well as that, they only have one away game in that period.

In fcuking London.

marklazarcovic

Well whenever we seem to have a easy run of fixtures and someone posts up a "we should get 12 points from our next 4 games" post..it goes tits up



So let's fckin do it the hard way so

Osmosis Jones

I'm not one for advocating injuries or anything, but if Funes Mori's career ended tonight I wouldn't be too displeased.

Knex*

Chelsea, top of the league and also going to be the most 'rested' team over the Christmas run in.

Southampton shafted. Ourselves not much better.

Utopia Parkway

No Matip tonight apparently.

Ye I saw that big loss.

MD1990

Klavan is a decent player. Wouldn't be confident of Lovren up against Lukaku if he is in form.

I expect alot of long balls from Everton.

Big game for midfield.

They need to control things - strangle the life out of them.
Then it's up to Firmino getting his **** together or Dick Orgi and Llama carrying on as they have been.

mosstin

Gueye's been immense for them this season apparently. Will have to work harder than ever to win the midfield battle tonight. No Matip automatically makes me hope we've got our shooting boots on. Perfect night for Firmino to find form again.

MD1990

Wouldn't be too worried about dominating midfield. Gueye is decent. Barry & McCarthy are poor.
I think we will have majority of possession just need to cut out individual errors at the back.

Nah I'll just bow out of that convo instead. Was a pointless conversation anyway. So I just unexpectedly got finished early from work so can actually watch the match after missing the last two due to work. I am excite! Plus I need at least at least 12 points from Firmino and Origi to win my head to head game in FF! Alot at stake.:pac:

Sturridge on the bench. Fantastic

Grayditch

I think were beating 'em.

SuperTortoise

To be able to bring on Can and Sturridge is a big plus, missed Can's driving runs in the last few games.

Horrible stamp on Origi's leg that put him out for a good while, got sent off and left the pitch celebrating like he'd just won the match.

Absolute dirtbag challenge and then did the badge kissing thing afterwards.

And Origi was in fine form at the time too. That disgusting rubbish did a lot to cost us the Europa League final for me.

He was 5 in 5 after scoring in that game, much like he is at the moment, hopefully he doesn't suffer another setback like that today.

Holy ****balls! Can't believe I forgot about that. What a scumbag! :mad: Yeah he was in great form at the time too. :mad:

I like the way you'd be 99.9% sure none of our players would ever do that to a player. We could be a bit tougher sometimes but we play the game in the spirit it should be played.

Suarez used only have an ole nibble for the craic :pac:

I've seen some of ours make poor tackles. What really galls me about that challenge was his posturing afterwards. Hateful player.

Nice if we'd put in a decent tackle occasionally here though. Not so far.

The first touch of all the Liverpool players is terrible tonight.

Henderson needs to speed it up. Taking too long and too many touches on the ball.

5starpool

Can someone please answer this for me. Whatis the definition of a 'take-on' in football? It's a term I never heard of before a few years ago and had assumed it meant one thing but I'm clearly not right. Someone please enlighten me, the dinosaur that I am.

mav79

This is exactly the type of game that really show up our deficiencies in midfield.

Turtyturd

Pity Barry wasn't on at the start, wouldn't have lasted the opening 20 minutes.

Turtyturd

Firmino should be scoring there but credit to him he's not hiding.

Agent Coulson

That's what i love about Bobby he never hides and is always working hard for the team even went his touch has abandoned him.
