Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2019

redzerdrog

Takes a lot for Klopp to trust his central players.

Fabinho still hasn't been trusted as a single pivot

OX last year had a number of cameos on the wing before he was trusted centrally

Keita hasn't earned the right to play there yet

thecretinhop

christ connacht and lfc is very stressful. when is ox back?

Also, i hate Palace. They're fúcking awkward. Giants at the back, while quick and direct on the break. Perfect against good teams who can over-commit in attack on occasion.

As I say, delighted.

Leaders all over the place. Salah, Firmino, Henderson and most of all, Andy Andy Andy Robertson. Best LB I've seen at the club. There, I said it.

I don't remember Becker making a save today? If he didn't then it means Palace scored with all 6 of their shots on target away to City and Liverpool.

Fabs ball to Milner which resulted in goal number 3 for Salah was fantastic.

Fabinho is starting to really look the buisness the past couple of months.

Klopp said after the game that it's his hamstring - presumably he'll need a scan to determine how serious it is.

Matip 10ft back playing Zaha on side for the first, everyone else in line. Never noticed that until now, MOTD

The blue moon forum is a joy to read. The refs, linesmen and now even opponent's goalkeeper are making sure Lfc win the league :pac:

Yea Liverpool have had so much luck according to them but in the big game so far the luck was with City

BorneTobyWilde

Robertson did incredibly well to keep ball alive for Mane to pull away and score.

The new theory is that Speroni was paid off to slap it into his own net.

Big AL should do better with the third. I'll let him off cos he's a handsome bastárd

Turtyturd

I take it that fan invited to the game survived the experience?

Muahahaha

I know he is local but it is incredible to think that Trent has been at LFC for 14 years

Go on Robbo nice control.

Shearer has it in for Salah.

Shearer is very bitter toward us the past couple of years. The lovren peno against Everton being a great example of his bias.

citytillidie

No mention of Zaha falling over the place

theoneeyedman

Woy very ungracious on motd, talking about lucky 2 first goals and wanting goal 4 chalked off because.... I'm not sure really.

For one, if you pack your box with 10 defenders, don't be surprised if it gets a deflection.

Also, re the Salah 'dive'....he got a good kick on the shin from Sakko. Now it wasn't enough to knock him in the way he fell, but it was a foul. The problem with referees like Moss is unless you throw yourself to the ground, you don't get the free/pen when most fouls are committed.

Good balance by the BBC lads, no mention of Zaha diving at all.

Harry Palmr

It's the holding/blocking for the Palace corner goal that annoyed me the most and that wasn't mentioned either

#agenda

Turtyturd

Wasn’t in agreement with bringing Coady back but with 2 OG’s in two games he could be the new Carragher.

Does he lose the head online and spit at kids?

.G.

Feck them and all the "neutrals". I hope we win the league by Mo winning a penalty by diving, missing it, rebound comes to Bobby who passes it to Mo in an offside position an he punches it in.

He needs to get in line with Jeff Stelling and Richard Keys who probably want him thrown out of their country

Because they decided to show up for the full game today - those Palace players strike me as a difficult lot to motivate or maybe it's the manager is unable to find the words to motivate them.

If you listen to what Hodgson says in the post match interviews it's like he's just going through the motions. After one of the recent games he said something along the lines of "A win and a good performance in one game doesn't give you the right to expect to win the next one." He has no intention of building on a good performance because that might raise expectations for the team.

Hodgson will keep them comfortable in the league and give them a cup run or two but he lacks ambition beyond keeping them safe from relegation.

noodler

Ah it was a bad dive today.

The shin whack fair enough but I doesn't make both legs collapse from under you.

I don't think the Newcastle one was bad tho.

Harry Palmr

It was mentioned by someone earlier today that Liverpool have been scouting in Germany

Liverpool are not plotting a summer swoop for Schalke midfielder Weston McKennie. The United States international, who moved to Europe ...

MD1990

Great win today.

Woy is doing a very poor job overall at Palace. The should be in the top half with the squad they have.

He probably gets away with it because of how bad De Boer was doing

Osmosis Jones

It's just funny that Shearer calls Salah an embarrassment and Kane a clever player.

Palace are very good against teams who attack them. They sit deep and compact, turn the ball over and break at speed down the wings.

They can't do this against the teams like Burnley, Newcastle etc because they don't venture forward to often and hence it's very hard to counter attack for Palace.

bennyineire

Would love it for the craic if we bidded for N'Golo Kantno hope most likely no chance, but who know's if we but the bid in it might peak his interest.

They've only won 6 games this season, I'd say apart from today scoring goals is their main problem

Agent Coulson

It crazy to think how sh1t Palace really are yet they scored 3 goals in each game against the two best defensive sides the league.

Beating City 2-3 and losing to Liverpool 4-3.

Bitta luck. 3 goals , 3 on target. Expected goals today .6

To be fair scoring 6 goal against Liverpool and City is more than a bit of luck.

Wheety

I don't like this 'expected goals' business that pops up everywhere now. It means absolutely nothing to me. Football doesn't go as expected, that's what makes it so much fun.

That's the British press pro-UK player again. Seen it with Bale/Suarez before. Harry Kane is the golden boy of English football right now - just as it was Lineker and Beckham before him - and the first rule of being a pundit on any British TV show is thou shalt not criticise the golden boy.

That said, it did look like a dive to me. Unlike the other incidents.

Also - the Beeb did mention the Palace handball for a good three seconds.

We all probably seen the McAteer and Owen little battle in the International Charity 5 a side tournament but Jason later points out that thing with with The English golden boy treatment and he's dead right.

Shearer was spot on. Theres some delicate flowers in here that can't handle that we have player that would drive. Shock horror! A player diving. We are Liverpool. We don't do that! ðŸ™. Bit pathetic like.
