Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Mane scored for Senegal in the world cup qualifying.

Nabby had a really nice assist as well for Guinea.

F**K Ronaldo anyway.....

Creating chances just not clinical

Styles matter in this we play against far more side playing a low block than West ham so id imagine we take more shots from distance ?

City pattern of play means they always seem to have them 2 yards taps in when someone goes towards the byline and pulls it back, ,Again i'd imagine we take more long shots than them

From memory, I can only recall one game where Salah played LW for some period of time and that was only about 10-15 minutes against Leicester a few years ago, when Milner scored the last minute penalty. Mane stayed RW all game that day , with Firmino playing LW for a lot of the day and Salah central.

Should sell a few more shirts, nothing more.

Soccer in China is and always has been a hames.

Hopefully get everyone back from the international games in good order.

Dissapointed to have not bought a striker. If there's one position we need, it's a number 9 to challenge Firmino. I love Firmino, but his powers are surely waning.

Origi is a good player but, for me, he has to play consistently each week to show his worth, and that's not going to happen at Liverpool.

I can only presume Klopp is looking for someone for January, once the dust has settled from the manic summer merry go round. Pretty sure a lot of our big signings under Klopp have landed in January, and Klopp likes to go under the radar a bit with signings.

Sure, Jota can play CF, and he has been good for us when played there, but I prefer him to focus on competing with Mane. Equally would like a RWF to compete with Salah, even if it's a younger player.

Elliot can of course play RWF. He may be a little slow there fot our setup, but he can still play well there given his football intelligence, movement, and his ability to make a few yards and retain possession. but good to see Klopp bring him into CM, and to see he can play that role very well also.

And it was great to see Klopp start Elliot against Chelsea. It's one thing starting him against Burnley for his debut, but quite another starting him against Chelsea a week later. Elliot was brilliant against Burnley, and played well against Chelsea. The trust Klopp is showing in him should massively build his confidence. The player has said himself that he is working to transition from being in awe of his colleagues, to seeing them as people he is competing with to start games.

Would like to have seen Minamino come on against Chelsea when we looked flat toward the end, and lacked a spark. He should also have a chance, having done well at Southampton and with a very positive preseason under his belt.

I think we are ok in midfield for a season. Henderson looks to be getting on a bit but can still push us on for at least another season. Fabinho and Thiago are just world class.

I think Milner is past it at this point and would put him behind those players pushing to make the team in Jones, Keita, Ox, all of which have a big season ahead of them.

We look good in defence but thought Robertson played poorly against Chelsea, and thought Tsimakas might have retained his place having played well against Burnley. Klopp bringing him on later was maybe recognition of that. Good to have competition.

We are very good for CBs for the forseeable in Van Dijk, Matip, Gomez, Konate, Philips. Im delighted Phillips signed a 4 year deal.

We need quality cover for Trent at RB though, I don't have confidence in Williams, and prefer Gomez at CB.

So, quality striker a priority for January, and following that, a prospect RWF and RB.

Fenerbahce wanted to take him on loan for last season but they didn't want to commit to signing him at the end of the season so the deal fell through.

I hope not, a week ago yeah,

Haaland broke VVD's finger last night in their game.

Allison was very injury prone last season and missed a good chunk at the start of our title winning season. While a loan would suit Kelliher's development can we really risk maybe playing a month or more with Adrian in goals?

I previous would have said the same but from the time Kelleher played against Arsenal in the League cup a couple years ago until he played against Ajax & Wolves last season, he didn't go on loan and he only played 2 games in between. And I think he was twice the player in those Ajax & Wolves games than he was in that League cup game against Arsenal, and even Villa in the league cup.

Isak doing the business again internationally. Be a brilliant one to go for in January if we can shift a few bodies.

I could only imagine if we let Kelleher go on loan and Allison gets injured people would be complaining that we should never have let Kelleher go on loan with only Adrian as back up!!

I agree with you with the current experience he is getting within the first team squad. Plus in the last two season Allison has picked up muscle injuries and could be expected to this season also so on top of getting the cup games Kelleher will be potentially required at some point for league and CL games

People writing him off after last season should at least wait until maybe Christmas before letting those knees jerk all over the shop. He's looked sharp in all games bar the Chelsea one where they stared him of the ball to be fair. I'm looking forward to a big season from him.

Just a thought

I was racking my brain as to why after two impressive games against Norwich & Burnley why would Klopp drop Naby for the Chelsea game ,

Some have said he wanted to fit Hendo in but didn't want to drop Elliot which is possible but iv come to the inclusion that i reckon its because Klopp doesn't Guniea & Naby when he goes out on International duty ,

I reckon Kloop thought the game on Sautrdya ,Wednesday , Monday would be to much for him and Liverpool wouldn't be able to monitor him in between,

I could be wrong but i thought he was brilliant in the opening two games & getting dropped for Chelsea could have taken some steam out of him but maybe we where tyring to save him form injury

I was thing with Mbappe going to Madrid next summer that will set in place the transfer frenzy for forwards and PSG will need a a forward to replace him that will complement Messi and Neymar well I should say do all the hard graft for Messi and Neymar. Bobby would be ideal for that and as much as I love Bobby I think next season is the time for him to move on, PSG for a decent chunk of change would be a good move for all concerned.

Also if Bobby was to leave I then think a change up of formation, system and style of play could be done because without him and his thankless hard graft I don't think this 433 works half as well.

If PSG were to target a Liverpool player to replace Mbappe it would be Salah. He's a goal scorer and an icon.
