The bad news rumours always turn out to be true.

Although, Alisson always posts a pre-match graphic on the day he is playing a game. He has posted one today. So I am clinging to that, in hope, and that it's just someone attention seeking that has created the rumour.

I'll give ye another mad one.

On two occasions when Alisson was rumoured go be injured for a particular game, there was a post on his Instagram story similar to what has been posted today regarding the West Ham game (attached)

On both occasions he ended up started unexpectedly.

Now, you say these are posted for every game. But they're not. On no occasion where Alisson has been injured have they been posted on his story.

Thus how little rumours like that start & usually end up being true.

I like you're thinking Fitz*.

Hoping for 3/3 tonight.

Here's his post for tonight.

Can anyone remember when we signed that young Brazilian keeper what month was that ?

Seen a twitter video of him doing triangles with Jota , is it pre injury or post injury ?

Naby is also back on the trinaing ground,
Not sure if it was team training on just by himself but he is back on the grass ,

Agent Coulson

Underage keeper Vitezslav Jaros has joined St Pats on loan.

Reports today due to Covid and travel restrictions in different Countries the knock legs of the Champions League could be single leg straight knockout games.

That kid Pitaluga came in early October, and Jota was injured late October, so the vid could be either before or after... hopefully it’s more recent though!

Makes sense, and probably the right thing to do, though not great for us.

Is he highly rated at Liverpool? Looks like he could be our first choice keeper.

He is and signed a new long term contract in the summer.

The one position Liverpool are really overloaded in with talented underage players is goalkeepers.

Surely Liverpool having finished top of their group will get the tie of it comes down to that?

Given the season that it is, Alisson might be awaiting results on a COVID test.

Considering our next two games in the Champions League are against Red Bull I'd say no.

And the first of those games is away.

I don't want a one leg knockout away to Red Bull if I'm being honest.

Well, the advantage of winning the group is that you play the second leg at home. If it's the case that it becomes a single knock-out tie instead, then the advantage will change to simply playing the tie at home, shirley?

Edit: or did you type "no" instead of "so"?

Fitz*

Hopefully this is a bit of a hint that he is ok.

I'm all in favour of a one legged tie, it'll take a big weight off the PL campaign.

How is it not great for us or of any benefit to any other team.

I think it makes it harder for a lot of teams as one bad game you're gone with no recovery chance.

Talisman

Anyone expect to see Davies in the starting line-up tonight? It would be good to give Henderson, Thiago and Wijnaldum a game together in midfield in preparation for Man City.

No chance

Agent Coulson

I think Davies might actually start beside Hendo.

Lawro. say he isn’t good enough for Liverpool he is just a steady Eddie championship team player.

Lawro would know quiet a bit about PNE players.


Right now though Liverpool’s CB positions could do with a steady Eddie

No fans no tickets if it is one off legs and to give group winners the advantage for winning, UEFA could just play the 2nd leg games so it takes February out for travel and have the CL start in March

Nope, that was Mane & he was.

In this case Robbo took Mane out of his FPL team & that's how that was leaked.

Its a tough one isn't it ,
He probably suits playing against Brightons quick nippy attackers but then we could do with Phillips height for set pieces as Brighton have few massive defenders

Talisman

An interesting assessment of Davies...

Deadline Day Davies: What will Liverpool’s Championship signing add to their defence?

Davies is a fairly active defender, in that he looks to get involved in duels, but only when the conditions suit him best so that he is able to come away with the ball more often than not. He is a good example of a defender who is aware of his physical limitations and therefore has worked on his game to mask those deficiences through his intelligence and anticipation, and these should mean that he is able to adapt to the expectations at Liverpool fairly well.

Lucky we didn't sell Adrian.

Who did Robbo leave out or put in his FF team this week.

Umaro

I've read Alisson is out alright.

Never heard of a goalkeeper getting injured so much.

Maybe something like this tonight.
He might go with Origi instead of Shaqiri.

Alisson

Trent Phillips Hendo Tsimikas

Thiago Wijnaldum Jones

Shaqiri

Salah Firmino

I think he might rest Thiago or MO
I also think Ox starts

Zak Flaps

If Gini leaves this summer, i'd like Yves Bissouma as replacement.

Maybe it's time to replace Ox as well.
If in agreement, any suggestions as who you would like to replace Ox?

Fitz*

Man City playing Laporte at LB tonight. I'd say that's with an eye to playing him there again Sunday to go 1v1 against Salah.

Matip totally out

VVD & Gomez still in.

Because our record in 2-legged European ties is absolutely unbelievable. 4 European campaigns, only losing one tie over 2 legs. And even that one tie was under exceptional circumstances without our keeper.

Felt like an idiot posting that one of the reasons why Minamino went out on loan was to make space in the CL squad, because both VVD and Matip are out so no need to find space for a overseas player. But with both Gomez and VVD still in the squad it now doesn't seem that stupid of a take. I count 8 homegrown players and 17 overseas in the squad.

I am happy to be proved an idiot still though if I am mistaken.

If you look at Alisson fitness record, it's not actually as being made out - injury prone etc. I think this season is an outlier.


2018/2019: Played every single minute of PL & CL.
2019/2020: Calf injury - missed 8 weeks & then the hip injury that was unknown cos of lockdown
2020/2021: Shoulder injury - missed 2 weeks & a hip injury for about 9 days

But because of the congested season this year, a week can mean 3 games out. A niggle here or there can usually be absorbed with a midweek of no games, but not this season.
