Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2019/2020

Norwich will do well enough against teams in the bottom half to stay up, if they keep playing like that. Was very impressed with Aarons at right back, he was always left exposed but still managed to get in the way more of Liverpool more often than not.

4 forwards looked sharp, bit **** defensively but that'll improve. Is there a need for that midfield against Norwich, like to see what Keita or Ox could offer.

Any chance of a thread ban of people whinging about Tyler commentating? He was probably the most name checked in the thread during the match.

Lost the second half 1-0, not good enough !!! Klopp out :mad::mad:

Seriously though great win, anybody reading anything in that second half needs their head examined. The game was done and both teams knew, very hard not to get sloppy. Hopefully Allisons injury is minor

How about a thread ban on you constantly whinging about other posters instead?

Sofa Spud

Great result, plenty of work to do. Trent needs a work on his concentration, but sod it, first game of the season, no worries, hope they get some decent training in before the trip next week.

I found carragher more annoying like he went out of his way not to be bias.

Sure just put up a list of things we're allowed discuss at the start of the day and we'll adhere to that.

Origi growing in confidence.

8-10

Why are there no match threads anymore?

That's not very original, much like the Tyler chatter.

He was commentating on the match so is relevant to be spoken about,you seriously want thread bans for people who mention him? Seriously?

You're sticking the boot in Carra early.


Bit precious of you, he just made a correct statement that Alisson had a few dodgy passes last season.

I think you post more about Turtyturd than you do about Liverpool any chance you maybe just PM him and stop disrupting the thread with your own issues and bugging the rest of us with them.

shamrock55

Great start to season and you can't be disappointed with a 4-1 win but just a shame we didn't kick on that 2nd half, trent and gomez were poor, matip shouldn't be dropped i mo, hendo was good but gini and fab may aswell not have played origi although good goal is a hopeless case on the left of that front 3,ox and Keith must have been rested for wednesday

ebbsy

Sky are talking through their arse.

Norwich are scutter.

Pepp1989

Klopp confirms its Alisson's calf and he is already ruled out of Wednesday. Sounds like we will be seeing a bit of Adrian for a few weeks at least.

Muahahaha

Saw a lot of him at West Ham and always thought he was a very competent and confident keeper.

At 32 on a free transfer he's a proven keeper who can (and is on this short appearance) be a very capable understudy to Alisson. Good and all as Mingolet was as a shot stopper he was brutal with the ball at his feet (so important these days) and didn't command and have the confidence of his back 4.

A Hammer mate who has seen him a lot told me he is a good shot stopper but susceptible to not coming for balls that should be his. He said he is not always in control of his own 6 yrd box and to expect mistakes on crosses & corners. I loved his pass to TAA off his first touch of the ball but his parry in the second half right back into the box was a blunder off an easy shot to deal with. Time will tell especially if Ali is out for a few games, fingers crossed he isnt.

Agent Coulson

Something popped in Ali's calf Klopp said

That could be 6 weeks out.

Your obsession with Coulson and Turtyturd and constant quoting of them to have a dig is more tiring. That post is from yesterday and yet you continue this crap by dragging comments back into conversation. You constantly do this please stop and let it rest you don't like there posts good we all know now. So do yourself and the rest of us a favour and put them on ignore. That goes for everyone else who has a hardon for those posters just ignore them and stop quoting them and continuing on the bull**** in this thread.

Heed your own advice and just ignore stuff that's annoying you instead of acting like Kevin Costner.

They were saying 6/8 weeks when he had the surgery on his wrist that was just at the start of pre season so I would guess all going right the end of this month.

Thought he was brilliant out there to be honest, best performer in the front 3 today for me.

klose

Looked sharp in midfield and upfront. Defence a bit off, was surprised to see gomez get ahead of matip tbh. Allison being injured obviously a big blow but hopefully not too long out. Plenty positives anyways, onto the super cup midweek!

I dunno, bit of a one trick pony always cutting in on his right, think he went to the byline once in the game, mane created more in his first 60seconds when he came on

Osmosis Jones

First goal came from him taking it to the byline and crossing

~Rebel~ wrote: »

He's probably behind everyone in terms of preseason prep though, since he's not just coming back from time off, he was actually injured. So i'd say they'll take it slow enough with him if he's not actively needed. Will probably get some minutes in our next glorified friendly during the week.

I want that one midweek.
If we're gonna try something out...VVD on the right!
I got a bit annoyed when Mane came on.

Thought Firmino looked really good, myself.

.

Liverpool are likely to turn to Caoimhin Kelleher as Adrian’s understudy for the Super Cup fixture, with the youngster having recently returned to training following a broken wrist.

Klopp said: “Caoimhin is not [injured], he is back in training but not at 100 per cent. We have to see how he reacts now.

“One of the very young ones is not even allowed to play, he is only 16 [Jakub Ojrzynski], and the other one [Vitezslav Jaros] had an elbow injury early in the pre-season, so we’re a bit short in that position.”

Disagree. They are game. OG got us off the mark and a bit of pinball wizard,2 nil.
They have (short term?) issues at CB.

Don’t encourage that. :pac:

The easy thing would be for the mod who was supposed to be monitoring it to actually step in and stop the constant disruption on the thread.

Daemonic

Loved the sheer power of VVD just walking in with the defender at arms length to head the goal. Tank!

I always compliment players when they deserve it, I thought hendo was MotM, Bobby was good too in fairness, mo also had his moments, the rest of the starters were ordinary at best.
It's early days of course we'll only improve performance wise

That was great by Fab and something easily over looked.

Charlie19

Firmino was excellent in my eyes, he's such a hard working front man the way he closes down the opposition trying to force them into giving up possession. He's also very unselfish the amount of times he tried to play Salah in was ridiculous.
I'd say the guy would share his last Roll.

Osmosis Jones

Another thing to note: While he didn't score Henderson did have 2 shots from inside the box today, hoping to see more of that, and some goals with it, from him in a more advanced role when Fab is on the pitch.

Agent Coulson

For now I think I would prefer Matip playing alongside VVD especially with TAA not up to speed and open to defensive brain farts, Gomez doesn't have the experience to see that happening.

As talented as they both are they are still open to making simple mistakes.

Multi tasking needs a call though....Origi a quiet sort or did Bobby ignore him?
I want 15 assists between Mo and Mane to EACHOTHER.

shamrock55

Would have preferred matip to start the season alongside Virgi, doesn't deserve to be dropped as he was excellent last season, thinks he's calmer in defence and is excellent at carrying the ball out of defence a bit like jockey Hanson, he's also a much better goal threat then gomez

I think a lot is made of the players being a bit selfish well except for Bobby. I also think a lot of that is down to the other players not calling for the ball.

Our front players all know what the other can do and seem happy to let each other be greedy.

They very rarely show frustration with each other after they have tried something that didn't come off because they would have done and have done and will do the same thing.

He didn’t though, Origi set up one and scored one, and did a lot of the things Mane does - who also always cuts in on his right... it’s just what our wide forwards do, with the right footer coming in from the left, and the lefty coming in from the right... the fullbacks are there for swinging balls in.

Origi was also always in the right places. Look at Salah’s goal - if he doesn’t go for a difficult chance, Origi has checked his run and gotten free for an easy tap in if Salah had passed. Was in a great position for an easy shot minutes before if Salah had passed instead of running into trouble then too, and he was also the one in the right spot to score for that chance that Bob took off him while trying to contort into an unlikely shooting position. Origi was actually pretty perfect as a wide forward today.

So it's coached? Between the lines and no square ball 'cos counter is a prob?
Stats probably have us top tier so I'm not going to call us wasteful...so lacking composure or too predictable.

TL/DR Greedy
