Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2018 (MOD NOTE: POST #2805)

Salah looks to be ok for next Tuesday.

Harry Palmr

9000 posts already. Need a new one for the return leg maybe.

Still buzzing tbh. Huge result, with the - 0 part of it the most important. Some excellent performances, but miner and especially TAA were very good, especially given they TAA was identified and targeted by City as a weak link. Very satisfying to see the bus being parked in the second half too, shows a new element to the squad that wouldn't have been possible earlier in the season.

Agent Coulson

Hopefully Can, Ragnar are fit for next Tuesday and Clyde gets a run out against Everton.


I wonder what the odds are for Masterson to make his Liverpool debut in derby game.

SuperTortoise

If we score one next week, and i'd say that's a good bet, then city need to score 5 to beat us.

This is what we should be talking about, and not the handful of clowns that threw stuff at the City bus. Incredible atmosphere.

TAA's discipline was the biggest thing that impressed me tonight. Stayed back, did his job on Sane, and didn't get caught out of position. Robertson the same on the other side. That's the huge difference between Moreno and Robertson, Robertson knows his job, and bombs on at the right time. Taa just needs to learn that too and he will be phenomenal

I come in peace.
Only just peeled myself off the ceiling. That was incredible.
I haven't watched the RTE coverage of a game for a couple of years but when did Dunphy start talking like a teenage girl with all the upspeak? He was at it constantly before the game. Odd behavior from an old fella.

I'll always enjoy how much love former players show for the club.

We can surely field a strong enough team to give it a go and rest players for Tuesday?

Hendo plays the weekend as he is out next week.

Crouchy has been on fire over this Champions League midweek!

Crouchy is a legend!

One of Salah or Mane must be praying in the wrong direction in that photo.

Salah is facing Mecca.
Mane is facing Salah.

I thought Mane was just doing his trademark copycat celebration.

Wow what a performance. Our much maligned midfield hold there own yet again. They all might not be spectacular but its very rare they don't dominate the opposition. We are set up for the front 3 to score the goals. The midfield have a certain job to do under klopp and they consistently do it. Tie is far from over hopefully can is back and salah is OK as if both of them are out we are seriously down to the bare bones.

Anyone have stats for goals conceded per game before and after VVD?

Agent Coulson

Milner has equaled the CL record for assists in a season with his 8th assist in this seasons CL.

Right now, I don't think we've ever conceded?

VVD and Karius have made a big big difference to the side.

And Robertson.

VVD does excude a certain calmness that helps the other defenders I think. Especially Lovren.

Lovren was brilliant tonight. Makes some difference having a calm composed head back there (VVD).

Robbo also brilliant. Was telling how hardly any ball went down his side all game.

That is just hilariously fantastic.

I'm setting up a shrine in the morning for when the kids wake up....

Messi and Ronaldo each side of him. Better pick the right one or no sugar for breakfast.

Wonderful stuff.

Lads - who was the last Irish player in a Liverpool European team .

Good while - back to maybe Finnan.

Utopia Parkway

Everton will surely never get a better chance to win a derby. At home to what will be a very understrength Liverpool side.

VVD and Lovren might have to play again unless he gives Masterson a game.

Clyne might get a game to rest Trent.

Salah won't play.

Milner at his age will be rested.

Hendo will play as he can't play in the 2nd leg.

Solanke and Ings to both start?

Moreno will probably start somewhere.

BorneTobyWilde

Don't see anyone preventing us winning Champions League. We'll beat Barca and Real easy, hopefully one of them knock out Bayern.

We'll probably lose to Sevilla in the final. Be funny two nothing teams in the final.

Woodburn hasn't had a look in lately. Is he fit?

If so:

Clyne-Lovren-VVD-Albie

---

Hendo-Wiji

---

Woody
Firmino-Solanke-Ings

Migs, Masterson, Robbo, Milner, Brewster, Mane, Can

I'd be happy to rest Firmino and both CBs, but I think after only getting 70 odd Bobby's a shoe-in and at least 1 of the CBs will play, but I think Klopp will probably play both.

Anyone talk about how absolutely rubbish Walker was for our first goal?

Who knew he'd be the English right back to look daft.

I've never liked Walker, so that made me happy.

He’s captain of the Under 19’s this season, who had a good run in the UEFA Youth League.

Best atmosphere I've experienced at Anfield.

Incredible

shaunr68

Amusing comment on the BBC Sport "Have your say" page from a fan, possibly getting a bit ahead of himself in the euphoria, wondering whether Coutinho will get a winners medal when Hendo lifts Ol' Big Ears

In fact, he could get both a winners and losers medal! Could he?
