Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2019/2020

Yes he is key in that he offers something none of the others can. I think he has just been unlucky. Last season he was specifically targeted in the Barcelona game and then was played in the Aftrican Nations on bad pitches when clearly not fully fit.
Klopp and the medical team will slowly introduce him and when he is up to full speed is one of the first choice midfield three for me.

Could a silly dance up his keyness?

I'd imagine, ease him in with cup games and coming off the bench in the league for now, no rush until the December/January period which is usually quite congested games wise, and that's when Klopp will need him fully fit. I think we have this World club cup championship on in December as well.

Who do you have Keita ahead of in the current 3?

Agent Coulson

I'd like to see the squad add one or two players in January just to give a boost after coming back from the World Cup and heading into a busy January where we have been poor the last number of seasons.


Ketia rotates with Henderson in the attacking role for me depending on who we are playing if we need to break down two banks of 4 he is the player to play as he plays between the lines.

madalig12

Delete that. He might quit if he sees it. And we defo dont want that

Akabusi

My favoured three would be fabinho, Henderson and Keita. Milner and Wijnaldum can be sprung from the bench when legs get tired

Our busy period really is in December with the end of the Champions League group stage, the Club World Cup just before the typically busy Christmas/New Year period & maybe a league cup quarter final too.

Akabusi

Had Klopp brought anyone in any of January windows? Oxlade maybe?

Newcastle players I'd keep an eye on are Maximin and Longstaff x2.


Maximin looks a player running directly at defenders with a ball scaring the crap out of them.

The Longstaffs look players but more so just to sign them from under Man U.

Van dijk but only cuz they messed up signing him the previous summer,Ox was signed in the summer

Bobby & Fab playing against Mane tomorrow hopefully they don't kick lumps out of each other and are sitting chatting on the benches.

Off course, how could I forget that.

Wouldn't think anyone will be coming in this January so. Edit unless one of the front get a bad injury

Henderson hasn't been great this season. Seemed to have found his place on the right of the midfield three towards the end of last season, but he's been off the boil so far this season.

Osmosis Jones

Henderson's had an iffy start so far yeah, he's definitely better when he's not playing in the 6 but his attacking play just hasn't been great so far, a lot of loose forward passing.

Umaro

If there was an injury to the front 3, I think Klopp would probably rotate Origi and Wijnaldum in the position rather than panic buy in January.

Next summer will have to be a big one though. There's problems with the squad depth that need sorting, and due to the unbelievable start and lack of injuries (touch wood) its faded out as a discussion point on here.

- Full backs don't have cover
- Lallana and Milner contracts are up in June (though I expect and hope that Milner stays)
- Remains to be seen if Ox and Keita will become vital to the midfield as their integration has been so disrupted by injury

So maybe 2 full backs and a midfielder in the summer. And possibly Grujic getting a chance.

Muahahaha

Im hoping for someone in January but Klopp said in an interview a couple of years back that he doesnt like bringing players in mid season, he places a lot of emphasis on new players having a full pre season and getting to learn the system and they dont play until they know it. Learning the system can take months as it did for Robbo and Fabinho so I can see why Klopp is reluctant to buy players in January as it could be March before they actually play.

not yet

He brought in another centre back too, he cost quite a bit but his name escapes me.

Would have to agree, if only there was some proof where we could win a big game whilst missing Salah and Firmino?

Best place is the Liverpool website itself. I doubt you'll get them cheaper elsewhere.

Theres an official (i think?) Liverpool shop in the Ilac centre in dublin if youre nearby, they usually have a decent range

Not the thread for it but United should be having a good look at Biesla to replace Ole.

Gerrard at Leeds would probably go all in for Milner to join him as soon as possible.

Fair play to him, he’s learning. Just need Salah to start doing it now and we’re golden.
