Fernandinho is probably a better centre half than Otamendi or Stones too.

Fernandinho's lack of height is probably their greatest concern to playing him in the position. He can read the game and organise the players around himself but he's just over 5 feet tall which puts him at a massive disadvantage in such a physical league.

3rd on MotD after Norwich & Chelsea.

I love how Liverpool winning is becoming so routine and normal that the games are sliding down the pecking order on MotD!

We support a special special team, lads.

Nothing reportable in this post, is there? I'm unsure what I'm allowed to say any more.

A very special team!




Seems if you are one or two the good old boys on here you can say anything you want and get away with it.

Bobby Firmino is the best player in the league now, isn't he?

Salah never doubted him for a second, he just kept his run going, knowing he'd get the ball back.

Going to be interesting to see how this lad gets on against Matip and VVD.

If I found Bobby in bed with my missus I'd make him a cup of tea.

I'm sure Edwards has got a compendium file and spreadsheet of Håland ready for when Salah Mbappe is sold to Real Madrid for 400m in 2027.

No doubt, but stupid and pointless as it is, isn't it great to be 5 ahead rather than 5 behind?

Turtyturd

Or 7 behind.

Agent Coulson

The Club World Cup draw is on Monday.

Michael Owen will be doing the draw.

The draw will be live on FIFA's Youtube at 1pm Irish time.

3 of the teams still won't be known till the end of November.

Agent Coulson

Bobby only got 1 bonus point on FF, FFS that assist deserved to break the bonus point system on FF.

QED

Origi should stay central when we rest Bobby.
Matip has really stepped up :pac: lately.

I know they're all big games but the next two are ginormous.
Let's keep her lit.

Why are people saying Newcastle did well ?

They scored, then sat in their own box.

I think they are terrible.

1 shot on target. Thought they were poor enough.

It's a worry how poor we looked with Origi on the pitch, the drop off in quality from the froni 3 is ginormous, to use your word. Speaking of which you say the next 2 are ginormous? You're not including the Napoli game are you? I don't see that as a biggie at all, I think we will cruise through that group regardless of the result there.

Bobby is the real problem. You can play without Sadio if Mo and Bobby are playing, you can play without Mo if Bobby and Sadio are playing, we really can't do without Bobby though, he's the most important part of our front 3 IMO.

klose

I think match of the day highlighting a clearly obvious player offside and then somehow trying to make it out as being a negative thing about our defence can be defined as scraping the barell.

Yup. Also see: first half v Chelsea in Istanbul

Charlie19

That works out well having the Spurs game after ours, no interest in any of the other drivel.

Unless it's against Barcelona when both Bobby and Mo aren't required!

Not just match of the day, was mentioned on BT earlier as well about how we’ve been fortunate so far this season with offside decisions. Given the fuss about zonal marking every time someone concedes from a corner I wouldn’t expect it to change any time soon.

That result looks better and better by the day. Genuinely a legendary night for the club. Still watch it back every couple of weeks or so.

Should probably just play Barca every week.

This, we beat Barc 4 zip without Bobby, have ye forgotten already. The international breaks always breaks our rhythm but the difference last year and this year it looks is that we look a little below par after the break but still win. Hopefully by the time we play Chelsea next (after a tough game in Naples) we'll be firing on all cylinders

I'd take a draw now against Napoli.
We don't do cruising in Europe (group stages) and Becker is a big miss.
I'm not as knowledgeable on the European leagues as I used to be but surely Allen, Manolsa and Insigne come into their team midweek having been rested in a home win.

Hopefully Rudiger misses out next weekend.

I’d be a big Bobby fan but the whole ‘we can’t play without him’ line is something that was said once and now gets thrown out constantly.

The team obviously lack when he’s not in the squad but they are well capable of getting a result. Origi is clearly not on the same level but at the same time he’s a much better option than what we were calling on this time last season.

Yep, I think we can cope intermittently without one or even two of the front 3. We are coping well without our keeper which I definitely wouldn't have been confident about.

VVD is probably the one player that we'd miss the most if he was out for a long time spell.

Agent Coulson

I think Fab might actually be the most missed if he was out long term.

rossie1977

VVD is the difference maker no doubt. First 23 games without him season 2017-18 Liverpool conceded 28 goals. Liverpool were essentially same level as Chelsea, Spurs and Man Utd even with the front 3 and Coutinho.

I think a big part of coping without Allison is having a solid defence. It looks like any shot on target against Adrian has a good chance of going in but we’ll get away with it in games like today where we dominate the opposition and limit their chances. I can’t see him pulling out performances and saves like Allison against Chelsea and Napoli to get us something from tight games.

steve_r

Maybe it's a good thing Allison has missed so many games, Adrian has the five PL appearances required for a winners medal now.......am I getting ahead of myself?😛😛

On the plus side, if you do hear anybody talking about "bottling" you know they're not to be taken seriously as a person. Tis a great filter.

Potential Underachiever

The thing about the bottling narrative is that from what I've seen it's mainly from Liverpool fans, sort of saying oh we'll be bottlers if we don't win this now etc....

It's also a wind up from 99% of non Liverpool fans surely, no one genuinely believes you can bottle a league after 5 games, obviously.

Pretty sure the bottling thing is a piss take after 5 games. I'd fear for anyone that can't figure that out :eek:

BorneTobyWilde

So Origi gets injured and Klopp sends message to remove Brewster from his game 15 minutes in. So we could see Brewster in squad in coming weeks if Origi is down for a while.

The Good Ole Boys

The LFC threads thrive on drama if there's none to be had it just gets made up!

It's been an excellent start to the league. Even when we went one down yesterday, there never much doubt we would come back and win it. Napoli and Chelsea next, bring 'em on!
