Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2019/2020

Oranage2 is being so generous spreading his salt around multiple threads. Do you need a tissue to wipe away the tears?

I may have missed earlier posts saying the same but Lovren was good today, to be fair to him. I was worried when he was named in the team but he proved me wrong today. He is capable of it, just consistency is not his strong point.

Hands up. I was also wrong. Very worried about Lovern’s appearance today.

"lost interest" in football no doubt

Lads stop doing that rating thing please.

It's silly.

We won.

I'd compare him to a Patrick Viera and he gets better and better every time i see him.

He has Fab as 6, clearly hasn’t a clue.

Harsh on Klopp, Fab is the best number 6 at the club.....

I doubt Fabinho would be frightened by Roy keane though.

Fantastic result today. Sadio is playing like a man possessed, really on top of his game. Great to see that determination and mentality to go til the end. Milner coolness personified.
Happy days, much needed break now!

City have such an easy looking run up to Nov 10th when they face us at Anfield , we face United away, Spurs at home and Villa away.
Will be tough to win next 3 going into that City game.

City have 3 home games and 1 away in run up to the game against Liverpool. Palace away will be only way they could drop points, they won't drop them at home.

Klopp has signed like 20 players and something like 6 are a success. Of course those 6 are world class so props but every manager has their fair share of misses too.

Mane, Salah, VVD, Robertson, Fabinho, Alison and Wijnaldum have been huge successes. Matip has been a success considering he was a free transfer and his form in 2019

Very very weird when you don't even look for Arsenal, United, Spurs, Chelsea results anymore because they're not even on the radar of where you're going to finish. Haven't had that feeling as a Liverpool fan ever.

Osmosis Jones

sorry in advance harry

Goals:




Mane of the match:




Adrian made a couple nice stops but I'm short on space and I think we'd all rather see this again over any of his saves:



Something about Trent and this corner of Anfield just inspires magic:



Indisputable (though some have tried):



Origi with another good cameo, helped create the penalty too:



This is just vile, there's a difference between a "taking one for the team" cynical foul and this:



The young lad's not new to this kind of filth either:



This is what it means:

And yet if Liverpool do end up winning the league this year, I guarantee the first fans you'll think about with glee will be Man United and Chelsea, not Man City.

Klopp mentioned in one of his post match interviews that he had previous for those type of challenges.

Of course, as it was for most united fans when they won all those titles and liverpool weren't even on the radar.

Of course, because football isn't tribal and competitive. Is there still a roll eye emoji?

Fair play to Lovren today.
When he keeps it simple he's actually solid.

Don't know any City fans, and never have never come across one in Ireland afaik, either growing up in school, or as an adult. Almost certainly they have a decent following amongst teens I'd imagine. Success brings fans.

Cartman78

Had a very brief, unexpected and enjoyable match watching experience today.

Was stuck in a shopping centre with the kids and the missus trying to follow proceedings on flakey 4G.

The missus goes AWOL looking for God knows what so I wander around a bit and notice a small gang of fellas hovering around a Sky sales kiosk....lo and behold they were showing the Liverpool match.

I wasn't long there when Maddison scored and amazingly all of the half a dozen fellas there seemed to be rabid Leicester fans ;-) I swear two of them nearly starting spontaneously shifting as the replays were shown.

Anyway, the last few minutes were nervy to say the least and I was severely outnumbered by Leicester fans at this stage.

I actually burst out laughing when we got the penalty....never doubted that Milner would score. A few of the faux Foxes retreated quickly to a nearby mobile phone case kiosk but I still gave it the full double fist pump and possibly marginally too loud "GET IN" as the ball nestled snugly in the net.

Haven't enjoyed an ending to a game as much since Owen snaked that Cup Final back in the day

Really? I know dozens!

Of course, they all followed someone else 12 months ago...

The Good Ole Boys

I know some City fans. They got into City via Oasis, strange stuff.

Yes, because that's who would hurt the most. And Everton.

Sure during last season about 90% of Utd fans just switched clubs. Stayed in Manchester though.

gimli2112

i've been playing vidoeogames all day what happened, routine home win?

I'm surprised there wasn't more made on here of the challenge on Salah. I absolutely thought it was a straight red. He literally made no attempt to win the ball, it was all about taking Salah out.

I get it was a 'taking one for the team' tackle because you know you're getting a yellow card, but worth it to stop a potential break and goal. That's fine if you're blocking a player or sticking a foot out to trip the player up, that's a yellow.

But Choudhury flung himself into Salah, it was completely reckless and out of control and could have caused serious injury. I cannot believe a red card wasn't shown.

Absolutely should have been a red card. He took Salah out, preventing a real goal chance. And was it a tackle from behind? That's not "taking one for the team". Thats ****housery in my book.

Think the nature of the win took a lot of attention from the tackle. Definitely deserved a red, same for Ndidi.

Osmosis Jones

Was a disgusting challenge, Ndidi's wasn't great either. The only red card review announced over the tannoy at least was for Trent on Tielemans.

Them Leicester fans are everywhere

Surely today of all days they’d be cheering for us to keep their slim hopes alive of qualifying for Europe next season.

Nothing to do with it being a goal chance IMO and the fact it was from behind (more to the side for me) is also not so relevant, as Klopp said it wasn't a tackle it was a cynical out of control lunge made with the exclusive objective of taking out Mo who was in a dangerous position to either score himself or create a scoring chance for a team mate.

If such cynical "fouls" which take the form of heel clip, shirt pull or arm pull warrant a yellow card can any serious referee, player, pundit or manager argue that the same cynical foul executed via an out of control lunge should get the same punishment and not a red card?

Osmosis Jones

Forgot about this one from Choudhury too, Matt Ritchie out for a few months thanks to it, only a yellow as well.



Had himself a good laugh about it too.

has the league been conceded yet or are we simply favourites? ah October it gets earlier every year

shamrock55

Fab was good again today but he really should have done much better for their goal, he needed to take a yellow and bring Maddison down, it was a carbon copy of another goal we conceded with fab in the exact same situation where he let the guy stroll past, think it might have been Napoli but not sure

Would have been a second yellow.

Thought VVD was a bit sluggish for it and Adrian might have done better.
