Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2018

Bobby looks like he got a bit of work done, face looks all swollen like a botox addicted Instagram slag.
I'd love to see him with a few assists and a no look finish to make it 3-2

This time last year most of the same fans that are calling out Karius were calling for the head of Lovren and saying the club would be in huge trouble if Lovren stayed.

Now most of those think Lovren is grand.


It's a funny old game.


I'm sure Klopp has a goalkeeper or two targeted and will wait like he did with VVD to try and get the right one.

There will be a very expensive Goalkeeper Merry-Go-Round coming up and I would imagine Liverpool will be involved in it.

Not me, always hated Karius and can barely stand Lovren. :cool:

We should put a bid in for that Coutinho lad!!!

If only we could have held on to him until the summer we could have got extra

Bobby is the hero they needed, but not the one they deserved.

I was thinking Swords would be a bit of a step down, even for the most belligerent anti-Hendonites.

About as much chance of Salah going as Hendo.

He's coming home, he's coming home, Bobby, Bobby's coming home, he's coming home, he's coming home, he's coming, Bobby's coming home! :pac:

Think the christian bankmanager is more likely to stick with Trippier - would be great experience for him if he could get some game time, but Sweden have a good chance tomorrow and the moving of the Tranmere game to Tuesday to avoid a potential clash with the semi on Wednesday has completely jinxed them...

Will not play many games or captain may leave of his own will

He'll play more games than his detractors expect, barring injury.

We're going deep into the Cups this year

Could be Lovren versus Hendo in a World Cup semi final. What Liverpool fan would have thought that at the start of the season!!! :eek:

I can't believe just how much talk there's been on here over the past few weeks of Karius being our keeper, especially when basically everyone is saying the same thing - "we'd like a better one, if Klopp can find the right guy to suit him"


So i'll say no more about that. Just want to comment on the instagram stuff, and the instant characterisation of him based on those 30 seconds. I've watched a few of his actual proper interviews, and - particularly in the longer ones - he actually comes across very shy and introverted and as a decent enough guy. (admittedly perhaps not exactly what you want from a keeper, but purely speaking on his personality here).

Have to keep in mind that that wee insta yolk was a properly produced thing. So there was a director, and a cinematographer, and a drone pilot, and a producer telling him exactly what to do. Yeah, he could say he didn't want to do certain parts of it, but at the end of the day he's a young guy for whom every single aspect of life is being told what to do. It comes across pretty cringe to us, but we're not the market, and that market is who the director and producer are playing to. Wouldn't be too harsh on him for it... there's plenty in his actual game to criticize, so unless he does actual bad things in his personal life, this sort of stuff is media/marketing nonsense which shouldn't really sway anyone one way or another.

Keepers have always been a bit odd, they were when I was playing schoolboy football and that trend continued till i was in my mid twenties playing for a pub team.

Did fekir come on for France today?

Harry Palmr

Two minutes. Did nothing.

Liverpool Chester game the same time as the England game?

Surprised the kickoff wasn't shifted

I reckon Sweden would have been annoyed if they changed ko at this stage.

Apparently they tried but somehow it wasn't logistically possible, which seems odd.

I know there is a tickets forum here as well but just posting here as I might get a response a little quicker,how reliable would people be selling tickets for Liverpool home matches be on donedeal,presume some would be frauds and what would you look out for

Sofa Spud

Team for Chester announced - apparently Fabinho (also known to some fans as Paulinho...) is wearing No.3 today but it's not his officially assigned squad number for the season, which will be announced at a later date.

Planned first-half team: Karius, Clyne, Gomez, Phillips, Moreno, Fabinho, Jones, Woodburn, Wilson, Solanke, Origi.

Planned second-half team: Ward, Robertson, Klavan, Phillips (Chirivella), Camacho, Milner, Keita, Kent, Ojo, Ings, Sturridge.

Lallana was sick earlier this week so will miss out and should be ok for Tuesday. Shame we don't get to see Nabby and Brazillian bloke start together but lots of young talent there - looking forward to seeing how Wilson does and Camacho who scored that worldie against Utd last season in the Uefa match.

First half and second half team confirmed for the first preseason game

Is Masterson injured?

Disappointed not to see him involved.

No news of it anywhere so no idea. Was surprised to see Gomez included as he was still recovering from an ankle injury - an operation on it, no?

Harry Palmr

Any streams?

edit found one but not saying where

HandsomeBob

Curious about this Phillips bloke (Don't ask me to spell his real name). Anyone know if he's any use.

Stevie G had a 6-0 win last night against Bury, girlfriend basher got half a game. He's got his first EL match next Thurs against some Macedonian team - feels a bit dirty to be looking at Rangers results...

Harry Palmr

I literally don't give a fig about Rangers, if Dalglish fulfilled his boyhood dream and got the job there I'd not look at their results and I really hope none of the best youth players are tempted to follow Gerrard up there.

Riesen_Meal

Klopp was wandering around the crowd talking to everyone and signing autographs and having the craic with people, fair play to him...

Confusing myself here....chirivella is the one I'm curious about. They had his name in brackets beside Phillips so just assumed they had christened him Phillips based on a foreign sounding name!

Chivvy has been on loan in godknowswhere (edit - Willem 2 in Holland), but he always looked quite cultured for the U21s as was. Hard to imagine he has any future at the club

very easy to look cultured at u21 & youth level when nobody tackles for the ball.

Harry Palmr

I've watched enough underage football to also know you can look like a lummox when no one is tackling as well.

Klopp giving to the bold boys on the water break, I think Woodburn got a bit of that, ha ha...

Sofa Spud

Decent strike by Fabinho there - looks like the pitch did him no favours

Was nice alright, Clyne looking super sharp, good to see...

Sofa Spud

Sweet, nicely taken by Wilson - didn't expect it to take so long to get the first goal...

murpho999

Do we expect Wilson to be a first team squad member this season?
