So after four games and the top is without Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal I wonder how long its been since that happened before.

Only four games but still.

Sounds like John Lennon.

Imagine a top with no arsenal
It's easy if you try
No Spurs are Chelsea either,
Above us, only sky....

a draw between ars spurs would be the best result from a liverpool point of view ?

Might aswell be hoping for a draw in the Eve v Wolves game this morning. Spurs and Arsenal are not worth even thinking about. Both of them are muck.

Lovren linked with Juve. Could join Can and Ronaldo.

Adrian did really well yesterday, I feel much more relaxed with him then I did with migs or karius, that's not hard I know but still he's new and has settled really well

ardinn

He has made some great stops - Delighted with him.

De Ligt didn’t have a great game against Napoli he was probably at fault for all 3 Napoli goals.

This is it

I was tuning in and out but he was pretty bad for what I did see. A case of getting up to speed I'm sure but there were some very amateur mistakes.

He was benched for their last game and scored an OG in his first pre-season start too, not the best opening month for the lad

Daemonic

At least he didn't do a Coates.

Have to feel sorry for any player when a match goes that badly for them.

BorneTobyWilde

Ideally we win 3 league titles in a row and Klopp restores us as the most successful team in the league and walks off into the sunset a hero.

Jaysus that's right up there with Jon Walters' 2 own goals and a missed penalty.

Didn't Woodgate score an OG and get sent off on his Real Madrid debut?

Harry Palmr

That's no Jonathan Woodgate.

Have to agree. Surely it’s run it’s course at this stage.

Repetition is not good, try some other material.

Turtyturd wrote: »

Not enough that we’re missing out on the points for winning both halves we’re also missing out on the extra points for midfielders scoring.

Turtyturd wrote: »

It’s almost like they don’t know we have the added pressure of having to win every half this season.

Turtyturd wrote: »

No chance...look at all the halves it’s cost us.

Turtyturd wrote: »

Do we have to win both halves to win the trophy?

Turtyturd wrote: »

We could nick a half though.

Turtyturd wrote: »

Definitely. hopefully we don’t run riot in the first half hour and then take our foot off the gas in the second half and lose it. Surely the players have learned their lesson though after Friday.

Turtyturd wrote: »

How many points did we drop for losing the second half?

Agent Coulson

Well Pearce is reporting that Mane & Salah have made it up and it's nothing more than a friendly rivalry where they occasionally just get selfish.


All the Main Man's 50 PL goals

ERG89

That first goal vs City I remember like it was yesterday. It was as good of a half of football as we've played under Klopp. The goals were so:
Is he off??? No, he's on as it gets.

“With his work-rate, his technique, his goals and his all-round play, I don’t think there’s anyone like him,” said the defender.

“People will say there are better strikers but for me what he does is so important to our team. We’d be lost without him. He’s world class. He does everything and that’s the beauty of Bobby. He can do it all.”

Agent Coulson

Klopp's Liverpool don't work without Firmino.


If he got a long term injury I think that would hurt more than VVD.

BorneTobyWilde

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/sep/01/liverpool-roberto-firmino-burnley


Klopp insisted there are “one or two others” before going on to suggest that, well, maybe there are not. “Being skilled like Bobby is one thing, mixing it up with the attitude he puts in, that’s unbelievable and I’m not sure about that [in other players],” he said. “Skills wise, being there, passing in between, for sure there are some players. But the mix – wow, it’s exceptional.”

Thanks for reminding me about that, Osmosis.

Jon was in my fantasy team that week.

:-(

This is it

What a finisher. Looking at that video it's so rare he needs to smash a ball to score, so often he picks his spot and puts it exactly there. What a player.

Starfleet Student

For the sake of repeating myself from last night it is mind boggling that the last manager and his coaching staff didnt rate Firmino.

is that an example ?you will have to narrow it down a small bit which ones you are referring to.

Turtyturd

The day Bobby goes will be up there with Klopp going as a sad day for the club.

Unfortunately I think if Klopp doesn’t extend his contract a core group of this team are going to go around the same time. All of the front 3 will be at the age where they’ll be thinking of final big contract, same with Wijnaldum, Van Dijk, Matip, Milner will be gone, Henderson will be 32/33.

Self righteous posts like you always seem to post are pretty embarrassing alright from an adult and i am guessing you are an adult right

Agent Coulson

I'd hate to see this thread is we had drawn a game it is fcuking nuts when we have won 4 out of 4 in the league and have a European trophy in the bag already/

Harry Palmr

That video was one of the worst goal compilations I've ever seen. Thank goodness it was for Bobby Firmino or I'd have stopped when the compiler stopped including actual goal footage!

Thats a bit much - we worked pretty well in the 4-0 against Barca last season. He is a massive part of makes Liverpool great under Klopp but to suggest we are nothing when he doesnt play is a bit unfair on the rest of the lads

One game doesn't make a season.

This is nearly as silly as the post when you were jealous of Spurs signing Coutinho.

Crikey O'Reilly is anyone watching TOPT2?

Damien360

Lads, stop the infighting. Have a look at Man Utd thread. Someone is looking at possible forum ban because of all the infighting going on over there. They haven’t stopped in weeks.

We are playing well, winning, cup in the bag already. What’s to hate ?

The media are gonna be unbearable next few weeks watching how Mane and Salah get on. I'm bored of it already.

He really has some memorable goals for a player who only scores tap ins. City one in the 4-3 and second against Swansea are my favourites.

Honourable mention for the Bournemouth one where he who shall not be named got annoyed that his back heel didn’t go in and sulked rather than celebrated.

Welcome back.FSG out for old times sake

Liverpool are a customised machine, made up of many individual parts, yea we could sell some parts, but the buyer would find out they won't exactly fit their machine the way they fit ours. All our players complement each other, Robertson would be on the bench for Real, Firmino would not get a game at Barca, Matip would be in the reserves at Juve.

Harry Palmr

He plays like a kid on the beach but one who knows a really proud dentist. Seeing the likes of Skittles, Lucas, Can and Flanagan (yikes) all in shot is a reminder of just how much has changed since he joined.

MD1990

i just cant understand how a Liverpool fan (i.e Potential Underachiever) would not like or rate Firmino. Utterly bizarre.

Agent Coulson

Klopp

“I could describe five or six situations where everyone thought, ‘pass it, pass it, pass it’ and then he scored.

“So, that is the freedom of the player. The boys have to make these decisions: pass the ball, don’t pass the ball.

“We can make this mistakes. You can lose the ball and miskick the ball or sometimes you cannot see your team-mate.


“It is not that you ignore him. Sometimes to us it looks like you must see him but you don’t.

I'm at the stage now where I can't remember how bad things were. Literally no memory. Hasn't it always be like this?

Looks like Bobby Duncan is off to Fiorentina. Only room for 1 Bobby.

Agent Coulson

The lad has now walked out on the two best clubs with the two best managers in world football in the space of 15 months.
