Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2018

When Can plays in Hendersons current position he seems to do well.

Now that I think about it, with Coutinho gone, could Henderson move forward. Back to his best position?

I agree that is his best position without a doubt.

I don't think he gets there ahead of Ox on current form.

I don't think Klopp picks him there ahead of Lallana and Ox.

Are any of our CM's really that good?

None of the them are amazing tbh.

Ox is probably our most consistent player and is getting better with games.

The rest we can improve on.

Turtyturd

Can’s better suited when the team we’re playing against try and play football rather than park the bus. Unfortunately the only teams who do that are City, Arsenal, Spurs and sometimes Chelsea, so that’s 8 games a season where he can really shine and 30 where the opposition park the bus and he can look a lumbering mess.

ricero

Nice result today in the spurs game. Hopefully we can punish them more with a win tomorrow

klose

Spurs dropping surprising points there, makes tomorrow's game even bigger with what's possibly on offer.

DVDM93

Our reserves just played out a 1-1 draw with Spurs, a win tomorrow would be nice to see them drop that little bit further behind us.

Utopia Parkway

Win tomorrow and we could go 5 points clear of Spurs and it's Spurs v United next.

Grayditch

It's all coming up millhouse.

Alonso77

good result for us in spurs game - a win tomorrow could be big in the top 4 race

tinpib

Yep, nice points dropped alright. Spurs and Arsenal dropping points is the priority, followed by United and Chelsea, with City fairly irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

I'm sorry.

Both of them still to play City again too.

Two old fashioned, soul-crushing hockeyings would be delightful.

Another reason to like Southampton.

Didn't think they'd have that in them.

Fromvert

Good result there and a great chance for us to put a cushion between Spurs/Arsenal. Having a gap will be vital when we have a CL semi to win.

Potential Underachiever

Anyone else think we will smash Swansea tomorrow?

Van Dijk to start tomorrow I would hope is the only change.

Fromvert

Yep no rotating needed we've had plenty of time between games lately, Friday, Sunday, Monday. The players should be well rested and ready to go.

rgace

We have a great chance of wrapping up top 4 nice and early now.
Two winnable games followed by Spurs at home, hopefully we take advantage.

Slow down now, all this optimism will end in tears

Grayditch

Very similar situation tomorrow. Team trying to maintain top 4, players out sick, playing away to a team fighting relation. I hope we don't stumble too.

Easy tiger! A huge 2 points clear in 4th with over 40 points to play for!

Could go pear shaped very quickly and easily.

2 - 2 draw...

eyerer

I suppose a 1-0 win is the least likely outcome :pac:

Agent Coulson

Salah, Fun Bobby & Mane all to rip their hamstrings to shreds in the same attacking move and be out for six months.


Klopp still doesn't buy anyone as FSG won't give him the money and we still finish 4th.

Who's out sick?

Swansea deserve respect of course but you'd be confident we can do what's required and worse case scenario a dropped two points or three shouldn't derail us after the great run we've been on for quite a while now.

If we can't be confident playing relegation fodder after beating the best team in the PL era then there's something wrong!

Harry Palmr

The only "normal" scoreline that Liverpool have failed to manage this season is 2-0 or in this case 0-2. I'll take that.

Our midfield has dominated the majority of games we have played this season. Including games against good teams. I don't think the midfield is a major issue. We score lots of goals and don't concede many chances. I think its the third least shots on goal conceded in all the European leagues.

I thought I read Lovren and Klavan were going to miss the game, but I could be wrong because I can't find it now.

Ok, I didn't see that myself, it'll be cool as long as VVD and Matip are fit though..

Agent Coulson

Just watching Alisson in the Roma game and he keeps his hands low.


I guess we shouldn't sign him then as all the pro's on the tv and radio say that is the issue with our keepers.


Great assist there from Alisson for the Roma goal 60 yard pass to feet.

Harry Palmr

old boy watch - Luis Alberto scored and Lucas assisted Milinković-Savić for one of his goals

Alberto really seems to have found his home in Rome - 6 goals and 7 assists so far in the league.

I am almost expecting a couple of poor results now but three wins and we will be a mininum of 8 points clear and sitting pretty.

AndyBoBandy

I’m afraid that in typical Liverpool fashion we’ll probably drop points tomorrow against Swansea.

Nothing more frustrating than a huge win against a top team and then we follow it up by dropping points against the cannon fodder at the foot of the league!!

I hope I’m wrong, but this has been a hallmark of Liverpool over the last number of years.

A win and the gap to 5th opens up to 5 points. We have to take advantage of Spurs dropping points.

Agent Coulson

We are unbeaten in 19 games going up against the worst team in the league after trashing the best team in the league.


Always half empty.

I'm more confident of this not happening than I would have been two or three years ago, to be honest.

I'd love a Sunday night game but Sky love their Monday night segments.

The last time I was this confident going into a game was the West Brom game at home and we all know how that went.

I wouldn't really want a Sunday night slot for English football games. That slot is good every week for a decent match from Spain, Italy or France which i'd prefer to watch rather than it clashing with the EPL.

Don't think we'll win the league until the year i die.

Be ideal for so many that don't work Mondays though. Librarians and government artists. I'm all for it.
**** it, let's have a game on 24/7. The 'fun' never stops on SKY! Up next Swansea v Everton.

They're not the worst team in the league anymore. That title is now with Brighton or Huddersfield.

Swansea are getting a little more solid. Unless we get an early goal, it won't be easy at all. This is just the type of game we typically struggle in. Coutinho won't be missed as much for Man City type games as he will Swansea type games where they'll soak up pressure.

I'm confident we'll win handily, but it's a totally different type of game to the City one. City's style (as good as they are) plays directly into what we're good at.

Vicxas

I'll be a bit sad to see Sturridge go. I'll always be grateful to him for the 13/14 push but his injuries are just too many too often.
