Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2018

Rumple Stillson

Jordon Ibe has improved quite a lot for Bournemouth in the last few months, grabbed the second for them just there. Always thought he had a lot of potential, if he keeps improving, maybe we might activate that buy back clause.

I don't get what other team people were expecting?

Looks good to me.

I bet the "big announcement" has something to do with Tommy Lawrence or something and this lad is just capitalising off it for exposure, making it seem like some big transfer development.

He's playing for Bournemouth and just scored his first league goal for them in 38 appearances. I don't think he's of the level required for where we want Liverpool to be.

Dejan with the winner

Eddie Howe is pretty good at over paying for average and aging and taking on loan sick note players.


Maybe he will buy Sturridge.

Jordan Ibe eh?

Turned out to be a good signing for them, he's there leading player for assists this season.

Well I qualified that by saying if he keeps improving. But yes, it would have to be a massive improvement.

Don't think it's a bad side, just a tad concerned at CB. I'd take a draw. Then again I'm a pessimistic fecker anyway

Happy not to see lallana starting today. Hes still not 100% and cant be having passengers today in this game.

Jürgen Klopp on the decision to start Karius over Mignolet: "Usually I could say it's a decision for today, but if Loris now is able to perform, he will stay in the goal."


Klopp seems to have changed his tone on Mignolet being the starter, seems Karius is ahead of him now.

Umaro

I don't think Ibe will ever be good enough for a Top 6 team, though he is still quite young so he might prove me wrong yet.

Looks like Karius is going to get an opportunity to prove himself over the remainder of the season. I hope he takes it with both hands.

I think Cech has finally knocked Migs off his perch of worst goalie in top 6. Another clangerfest-tastic display today.

murpho999

Looking more likely now that Spurs are our main rival for a top 4 spot.

Arsenal look like a poor side.

Yet despite conceding 3 more goals than us (5 if you include today's goals) we never hear much about Arsenal's shaky defence and uninspiring goalkeeper.

Sanchez to City probably

Would have thought the same but he used #lfc so I wonder what it is.

Rumple Stillson

Wenger stated a decision on Sanchez future is imminent, a big announcement is expected at Anfield today? He's hardly decided to join Liverpool?

Jaysus that'd be nuts

Agent Coulson

Pizza ordered half a bottle of Rum to drink and no sleep in the last 30 hours odds of me making it to the end of the game awake..


Very slim.

Agent Coulson

Only right Karius is given his chance till the end of the season now.

We still need to buy a top class keeper.


Mignolet needs to go in the summer he will do well in any team outside the top 6.

Tusky

Where's the 'big announcement' stuff coming from? They don't normally make comments like that ahead of transfers. And a bit weird to announce anything on a match day...

Doubtful as he turned them down when signing for arsenal

Iused2likebusts

That's the end of mig anyway. Karius has half a season to show something. Here's hoping but I'd have my doubts. If it doesn't work its fair to say we will be going big on a keeper in the summer.

Agent Coulson

Lovren is captain as well.


We are totally fcuked now that will go to his head and Billy Big Balls will come out in him.



We are getting slaughtered now.

It has not come from the club but a manchester based journalist. His tweet was posted earlier.

Brendan Rodgers sacking announced immediately after a match so things can happen.

Draw wouldn't be the worst result to be honest given Chelsea and Arsenal dropping points.

Although I'm not sure Arsenal are going to be a factor at all they way they are going.

I felt his tone changed after he piss poor performance against arsenal. first time he almost threw a player under the bus.

Osmosis Jones

Makes sense for him to be done with Mig, he's about on the level of Karius but 5 years older.

Tipsy McSwagger

This changing keeper all the time is a complete joke. Ideally get in a top keeper but in the meantime stick with Mignolet as number 1 with Karius as backup or vice versa.

So Klopp should keep Karius as backup despite thinking he's the better keeper?

Given the gulf in class and us being in a bit of disarray a draw would be absolutely fine. We don't need to win every game, we don't need to close the gap to City. We just need to keep our heads screwed on and stay competitive for a bit until we figure out our new shape.

Agent Coulson

So a Manchester Jouno has the scopes now haha

Klopp has no idea what he's doing with these two. Sure Mignolet was captain around 3 games ago.

I get that we just lost Coutinho but we've 5 wins and a draw from our last 6 games.

Yeah because he was the most senior player in the squad, same reason Lovren is captain today despite not starting when everyone is fit. It means nothing.

He gives the captaincy to whoever has been at the club longest, hence Lovren having it today.

5starpool

Lose and we're 5th, win and we're 3rd. Somewhat unlikely to win by 4 and go 2nd.

Utopia Parkway

I never get the fascination with the captaincy in football. It's not rugby or cricket where the captain is often responsible for tactical decisions on the field of play.

Maybe disarray is the wrong word but its a blow and if we get mauled you can see the buzz starting to sour.

Really don't think Klopp finds the captaincy role as important as many do here.

Hit and hope KARIUS at it right from the off. Gives it back every time !
