Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2018 Mod warning post 9350 and 9421

marklazarcovic

I was positive at the time that Bobby was actually trying to give mo a tap in when he was clean through,he definitely looked up to find him before realizing that he was marked then went alone himself and that split second allowed for the clearance.

Bit peeved at the penalty shout too. Definitely would've been an incredibly soft one to give but we've not been given the benefit of the doubt on a single one of those calls this season.

Don't think that's really true.

Also, don't really need them when consistently winning games by three goals or more.

It's all good.

I’m not a pedant either but technically you are one if you point out things like that. :pac:

And you’re still incorrect, it’s 4 in our last 8 in the league, 5 in our last 11 total and 7 in our last 11 in the league. It’s all good though.:)

So then do we want a City win? Yes we do, while them loosing 4 in a row would be hilarious they will still have the last laugh so let them win tonight and take Spurs down a peg.

I do wonder what happens with Keita.

Do we play with 2 8's?

Still think it'd be nice to have a footballier lad in there as well that can play the 6 with a bit more finesse than Jordan.

I think we'd have all our midfield bases covered then (other than a destroyer but I don't think Klopp's interested in that).

He replaces Wijnaldum often. And sometimes Wijnaldum will replace Hendo and Keita takes that slot. Reckon we do need another deep lying midfielder though, to replace the want-away German who is not happy playing for a club competing for CL glory.

Since when have there been Saturday evening games?

Had a few beers and had that number in my head for some reason.

I stand corrected.

It really is all good. So much fun watching them this season.

The Premier League were opposed to the idea in September/October but changed their tune in December - apparently opening up the evening broadcast slots is likely to bring the likes of Amazon and Netflix to the broadcast rights auctions.

The broadcasters trialled it in the FA Cup earlier this year, similar to how they did the Friday night FA Cup games in 2016. Now there are 8-12 Friday night Premier League games a season and from the 2019/20 season there will be games televised Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings.

The current broadcasters want to take a slice of the X-Factor / Strictly Come Dancing tv audience and advertising revenue.

Jon Moss might have something to say about that.

They are wasting their time against the big shiny floor shows and Dr Who - their audiences are pretty much cast on stone. Football is for dad who'll be in the back room.

We know that Bournemouth were enjoying their 99's on the beach today, but Liverpool's performances are just so assured the last few months.
Gone are the days of squeeky bum defending and hoping we score 4 goals before feeling relaxed enough to enjoy the match.
I found it very interesting to read about Klopp's psychological work with the team, which started at the beginning of last season and seems to have come to fruition in the last couple of months.
We still hear Jurgen roaring during transitions in matches but it happens less often these days.
Whatever happens from here or during the transfer window, you just get the feeling we are inexorably sailing with our mainsail billowing and making godspeed towards footballing nirvana. With no hint of irony.

Agent Coulson

We have only lost two games this season out of the 25 Karius has started. 19 goals conceded 13 clean sheets.

Last season we lost 4 games out of the 16 he started conceding 16 with 6 clean sheets.



Total 41 games lost 6 conceding 35 and keeping 19 clean sheets.

Maybe he wasn't as bad as we all thought

Turtyturd

I think those games against us have broken Sane.

Karius has improved ten fold since he came back into the team but (imo) still nowhere near good enough to be playing in a team that could/should be challenging for the title next year.
Very easy game for him today but he flapped at the few high balls that came into the box. One shot to save which he did but he didn't look confident doing it, it was more of a flap at the ball than strong hands pushing it away.
He's still young enough to make it as a top class keeper but I don't think Liverpool can afford to wait the season or 2 it's gonna take him to get there.

What do you base that on? Outside of DDG he's been the best keeper in the league since January. Without question in my mind. I'm not saying I would be opposed to us getting Allison or Oblak but Karius has done more than enough to make me not think its a priority.

I think your being overly critical of him if I'm honest.

It's a lucrative universal tv time slot - Saturday and Sunday night slots will also be able to compete worldwide with televised games from the other European leagues.

I like the guy, just not sure he's good enough. His attitude when he was dropped was top class. He took it on the chin and got on with it waiting for his chance to come again. He's a player I'd like to be proved wrong on.

Iused2likebusts

Fair play to karius he has done well but I'd still be going all out to get in a top class keeper in the summer.

gimli2112

great to see Mo Salah get forty goals that he actually touched into the net, no phantom goals at all.

Agent Coulson

To think in the history of Liverpool football and all the world class strikers that have played for the club Mo a converted winger is only the 3rd player to score 40 goals in a season for the club behind Hunt & Rush.

Iused2likebusts

Salah has scored more goals than 11 PL teams.

Sanchez. Bellerin. Iwobi?

I would have agreed with you up until the last few weeks. Since he has taken the number 1 spot, he has been brilliant. Saves that DeGea would have been proud of. I still think VVD makes all the difference. The defence has been superb leaving the keeper with the odd one to take care of.

Turtyturd

Sanchez went from being a poor version of Suarez to a poor version of Sanchez under him.

Don’t think Bellerin improved...he just got the Arsenal fan treatment of being considered the best in the league when he was pretty mediocre.

Who the f*ck is Iwobi?

So how many goals did Kane get this evening

No it's 40 goals in 45 games for Liverpool.

That's correct.
Premier League : 30
Champions League : 8
FA Cup : 1

And 1 goal in the Champions League Qualification rounds so you are also wrong!

Total 40 goals in 45 games.

Rush got his 47 goals in 65 games, for Salah to be even threatening that record with way fewer games is incredible.

Breaking that record will be a big ask but I really hope he does. He'll probably require a goal glut in a game to do it, three or four past Roma would be grand!

A hat-trick against WBA sending them down would be nice.

3 fiddy.

He has changed his name by deed poll to Jesus to claim the first goal as well.

Just seen that both Harry Kane and Ederson have been nominated for PFA Young Player of the Year despite the fact that they were both 24 when the season began and therefore too old to be nominated for the award.

Somebody must be really desperate for Kane to pick up an award this year.

Really? That sounds ridiculous.

Aside from that 24 is a bit old for PFA Young Player of the Year imo.

Allison would be great.

But 70-80m is way way too much.

Karius is playing very well.
