Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

This could be a long night. We might end up needing to catch Arsenal on the break with how well they are defending so far as 10.

Utopia Parkway

Don’t look like we have many ideas tonight.

Arsenal basically have no midfield now. It’s a load of defenders and three attackers.

It feels like the Chelsea game all over again.

rob316

Pretty terrible. So slow in attack, way too many touches

Fromvert

Age is finally catching up with Milner based on his performances this year. He fought it for a long time.

yourdeadwright

Game is made for Thiago shame he's on one of his annual mid-season month or so holidays

Plasandrunt

our midfield is so agricultural it's like 3 lads at the ploughing championships

BorneTobyWilde

I'd take Milner off, drop firmino in there instead, play Jota center, and play Ox on right.

This midfield currently looks like we are away to REAL!

Get some attacked minded players on the field ffs

patsy sally

Poor 1st half

machiavellianme

No attempts after the red card? Ruined the game.

Ken Tucky

This is muck..

Totally understand what Arsenal are doing but hell we are awful at breaking this type of play down. Even with Salah in the team we struggle.

Minamino is pretty awful too.

Another thing, I'm sick of hearing of our prowess at corners...they are sh*te

yourdeadwright

Our midfeild is absolutely woeful on the ball, great at winning it and passing it to the full backs but thats about it

Utopia Parkway

Take Milner off please.

TitianGerm

We are very narrow in the final third tonight for some reason. Taki and Jota coming way to early.

machiavellianme

I'd forgotten how bad we are without Mo.

theoneeyedman

Matip had been our best defender this season, the guy is immense when fit.

Agree with the posts about the middle 3 though, we can't afford to have Milner and Henderson on the pitch in these games. I'd prefer anyone there instead, either Ox or Jones.

citytillidie

Feels like the 2nd half of the home Chelsea game again

Utopia Parkway

Mo will be adding another 50k onto his wage demands if he’s watching this at the AFCON.

Fitz*

Can Arsenal bring back on Xhaka?

We're playing worse against 10 than we were against 11

BorneTobyWilde

Nasty, looked a red, but it's lil young English boy Saka, so no red based on fact the refs admitted they send off players, not for actual offenses.

theoneeyedman

Why are we not playing the 2 lads Robbo and Trent on the sidelines. Trent keeps underlapping and narrowing the pitch further.

Utopia Parkway

Trent’s final ball/cross tonight has been atrocious.

machiavellianme

Trent should shoot when he comes in central. Our front line are hapless. Hopefully Jones brings some direct impact.

O shots on target.

yourdeadwright

Liverpool are absolutely brutal

retalivity

Trent...again

jebidiah

Why is Trent there?? Why is Hendo on the wing? Why is Trent constantly giving it away?

BorneTobyWilde

Minamino is playing well, but no one knows what he's about to do, so it's frustrating as no one is there on the end of anything he does.

Fromvert

So many of our players have that stupid leaning back volley technique. There must be about 10 volleys/bouncing balls in the last 3-4 games where they've sliced the shot up into the air.

dogbert27

I think we all feel like Milner watching this game!

Utopia Parkway

I know Arsenal have a lot of players back but Jota has been completely anonymous apart from Xhaka kicking him.

machiavellianme

Alisson is the best player for us tonight. No messing.

citytillidie

Arsenal have created better chances

patsy sally

Desperate game

This is utter shyte.

theoneeyedman

Basically Like for like subs, no real change of shape, it's like what we're doing is actually working

Utopia Parkway

This has been one of the poorest performances of the season. Haven’t even looked like scoring against 10 players for most of the game.

eigrod

Stick Virgil up front ffs. We’ve barely laid a glove on them.

Utopia Parkway

Some display of shooting this. Few worried pigeons about.

Vicxas

We have been **** DIRE

theoneeyedman

This game is a perfect example of how important Mane is to how we play. The other forwards (Bobby/Jota/Taki} always come to the ball. Mane and to some extent Mo, but mainly Mane is the one on the shoulders of the defenders, stretching the field and making selfless runs for the 90 minutes. He's very underappreciated.

SlickRic

This is really bad.

Like, utterly terrible.

Riesen_Meal

This is so poor, Arsenal really are there for the taking....

Utopia Parkway

Jota finally gets a free header and he doesn’t expect it.

Vicxas

Jesus chirst, just end this game already.

Just, painful to watch. Worst i've seen us play in a very long time.

yourdeadwright

City are miles ahead of us these days

Fitz*

Curtis Jones the only one that actually tried to make something happen tonight. And he only on the field about 20 mins.

facehugger99

Missing the African lads tonight.

retalivity

Does that count as a shot on target??

Utopia Parkway

Get your foot over it Taki ffs.
