Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2016/2017

I've only now remembered we're playing tonight, just checked the score there and now i wish i had'nt remembered.

OwaynOTT

Ah lads, I wouldn't be blaming Mignolet for tonight.

Does anyone know why exactly Mignolet watches that fly past him into the net? That was far from a world class strike.

Lots of players between him and the ball when it was hit difficult to get any real view of it, although I did expect him to at least make a token dive towards it.

As soon as he was sacked...

I just can't watch them anymore. Turned it off after the second goal. They're not even trying. Lucas vs Vardy is a complete mismatch. Countinho's touch is so poor. Were they all on the piss in Spain? Very disappointing and this malaise that's effecting the team over the last couple of months shows no sign of dissipating, especially against so-called, lesser teams.

They did something similar to City remember.

As it turns out a high line with an appalling defence is really bad against teams with lots of pace who play counter-attack football.

It probably would've happened either way and they'll go back to losing every week after our shower of chumps leave town.

Liverpool are still THE team to play if in danger of relegation

Completely out fought and out thought. Old problems with Lucas and Mignolet is old news, but going forward we've been terrible, slow, ponderous, being bullied throughout and pulling out of tackles. Vardy set the tone in the first minute and nobody has reacted to it.

Cowardly performance in every way.

Nowhere has anyone blamed Mignolet for tonight. Nowhere. Look at the gif I posted. Does the ball deviate from its original path? What does he actually do to make a save? Awful footwork and then, bizarrely, no actual effort to prevent it going in.
We've been a mess from back to front but I think it's more than fair to point out another reason why we're as bad as we are since January.

Osmosis Jones

Chelsea had a poor few weeks at the start of the season, Conte changed things around and they're flying. Liverpool have been utter shíte for the majority of the past 10 weeks and Klopp has changed nothing.

Not enough good players...

5starpool

It's ok, we'll at least draw with Arsenal, and then give Burnley some rare away points with a 0-1 defeat at home to them.

Kop Flop Klopp

J Mysterio

The difference in the actual effort is the most disturbing thing.

Look at Vardy busting a gut.

Milner got the ball once or twice out wide left looking to put a cross in... Not a ****ing soul in the box. He just kicked the ball of a Leicester player on one occasion - no options.

Coutinho has got the ball a few times, never considered passing to another player. Seeing his name in lights, losing the ball.

Can - shocking. Clyne - shocking.

Very, very average. Maybe below average.

I think i've been kidding myself about this team and what it can do. The wool is being pulled from my eyes. So very dissapointing. Gutted.

Aye, kinda hard not to be cynical about it at this stage. That's probably not far off the truth though.

Fair enough, lets use a player complimenting another as a sign of his ability.

Joe Cole is in fact as good as Messi.

Osmosis Jones

I'll say it again, Milner really doesn't do very much at left back, he's fine, but he's never particularly dangerous. We need to take risks.

The fraudulent cunt. Didn't look remotely like scoring or indeed hitting the target until the manager he didn't fancy anymore was removed.

5starpool

I can't wait for the apologetic tweets/instagrams and then how thins are better with a new focus and drive to put things right before the weekend.

It's all too familiar. Repeating patterns all over the place.

We were allegedly such a smooth attacking outfit, goals spread aroiund the entire team, really slick stuff. No need for a plan B when you score so much........... no need to improve the defence.

It seems Mane was key to everything, we were possibly more reliant on Mane this season than we were on Suarez !!!

Those who watch Leicester regularly say he is one of the players who continuosly worked.

It's not the point though - Liverpool players are so half arsed. Disinterested.

Gbear

The sad thing is that the time we showed a modicum of competency we strolled through their defence like it wasn't there.

This is not a good Leicester performance. Our players can't control a ball, they're booting it up the pitch at random, we're making suicidal passes through the middle of the park.

Their effort plays a part in that but most of our errors on the ball have been completely or mostly unforced.

Lallana has been the only one who hasn't looked like an imposter.

Brilliant. 3 words and they all rhyme. And one of them is Klopp and he like manages Liverpool. You should be writing songs for Katie Perry.

I'd play the youngsters for the next five or six games and see where they are at.

It really bothers me how little faith Klopp has in them. Gomez should easily be in this team ahead of Lucas.

A shot at least.

And Woodburn, despite being a spud, has shown he is capable of brilliance. Maybe he should sub on for Coutinho sometimes.

Sterling was a weak little bollocks but he showed something when he got a chance.

shamrock55

klopps trip abroad is working wonders again same as last time,we a are a ****ing joke now at this stage,utd winning a cup yesterday and will now soon be ahead in the league,klopp hasnt done a thing to sort out our defence in 15 months

messinkiapina

Europa league here we come. Imagine how bad we'll be when we have to play Thursday night fixtures!

J Mysterio

They are all playing in slow motion. Predictable passes being shut down. Playing with fear.

ush

Need to get something here if we're gonna catch Chelsea.

PropJoe10

Jesus lads, why is Lucas Leiva still at the club, never mind being a starting centre half. Great servant, but not a centre back whatsoever. Crazy

Has the meltdown begun in earnest already?

There's time to come back in this game and you're still in a good position in the league, no need to throw the tiles out of the pram just yet.

Osmosis Jones

Whenever we put a cross in watch what Leicester do, they clear the ball OUT TO THE WINGS. It's not a difficult concept, if you're putting the ball into an area where you're not sure whether or not your team will get the ball, then put it in a position that is not advantageous to attackers. Both goals have come from Liverpool players putting the ball into central areas instead of out wide and losing possession, giving Leicester good chances.

Turtyturd

Lallana's f*cking poison recently.

mormank

The lads are playing like they went on a bender in Marbella, not a training camp! :mad:

11/8 for Top4 now, Utd 5/6 & Arsenal 1/1
Spurs & City 3/10 & 1/5 resp.
