Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Just rewatched the 2nd City goal and Gomez has a real issues when. It comes to the offside traps,.

Watch the massive step he takes up just as KDB is kicking the ball towards Foden,

Makes no sense se as he's looking across the line and can also clearly see the rest of our defence are already deeper than him before he even makes the stwp forward, He can also see the balls being aimed over his head,

Gives Foden a 10 yard head start so that when Joe catches him its already on the box

Against Milan he was dropping today he was pushing up, Hes all over the shop

He was'nt great but i thought Hendo was worse. Hendo offered no protection to Milner 1st half.

Midfield just struggled today and that can happen against a team like City as they have some of the best ball playing midfielders in the world!! Even Fabinho was struggling and you don't see that very often...

I think Robertson played the last Scottish game at RB and Tierney at LB to keep both on the pitch, it failed miserably and was changed at half time, with Robertson going back to LB. I think Milner would have been fine today but Henderson seemed to play the whole game helping neither the defence or attack. He just was bypassed in midfield.

Funny game first half was shocking but second half was a lot more promising.

I still think we got away with it somewhat with some Salah magic bailing us out for the two goals (I know Mane scored the first but it was salah who created it ps how good was the second goal). Seriously pay him whatever he wants he's truly world class.

Thought henderson was shocking today and Fab was way off the pace. Mane was rubbish first half but came into the second half but he's really not the player he was despite what some have said on here. Jones didn't do much but he's young so not overly worried same with Jota. RB is a major issue we need a Tamiskas type back up for trent (no easy feat). As i said funny game i'm not sure how i actually feel about it glad we got the point after that first half.

pps agree with the VVD comments thought he looked well off maybe it was because it was City but he seemed very nervous

Worried about our lack of clean sheets but not too worried about VVD or Gomez either tbh

Bit worried about our reliance of the main two for goals still though.

Still in it after seven games but Chelsea and City have had much tougher fixtures

A forward defo scores Fabs chance, took far to long

He only had to lift it off the ground when he fired on goal, or take it with his left first time when he fell, or simply take the touch and shoot faster. He done the one thing that guaranteed the defender would have a go at clearing it.

City aren't all that, 10 competitive games this season and only won 5, last defeat came on Tuesday. I literally can't remember the last time Liverpool lost a game of football.

Mad to think if Fabinho was just a tad quicker close to the goal-line over the past week we could have 4 points extra on board. He was a bit slow for Brentfords goal when the defender snuck in ahead of him. Both games could've been 3-2 wins in another universe. Thems the breaks.

That Rhodri clearance at the end gives me bad vibes. I'm remembering Stones' almost impossible clearance (by what, 10mm?) off the line from 3 seasons ago at the Etihad which resulted in a 2-1 for them which ultimately gave them the title by a point. The clearance today seemed equally unlikely and has given them a point and denied us all three. I hope it doesn't prove as telling at the end of the season.

Fabulous game of football, and delighted the lads were able to raise the energy so decisively in the second half.

Magnificent stuff from Salah for both goals, and Mane really does look increasingly sharp, absolutely beautiful run and finish from him.

I'm giving absolutely no blame to Fabinho at all for that missed chance, I feel like those commenting negatively have been watching it in slow motion too much or something. It's coming flying down through a field of bodies only a few yards away, and he'd have been anticipating a touch off a head, so does really well to sort his feet out to trap it with his first touch. It bounces forward a little off his first touch, so takes just a split second to reset to shoot. It's just one of those times you have to credit the defender for an absolutely magnificent tackle imo.

Phil Foden... such a good player. I'm still baffled why they threw so much money at Graelish, when Foden is better at just about everything in that wing-forward position. Both Bernardo Silva and De Bruyne are better at the deep lying role then too imo... like, depth is nice and all, but 100m for depth is insane, especially when you need a forward.

I also really liked how respectful the players and managers were of each other after too. It's nice to see two teams really go at it, put it all on the line, and then show a bit of appreciation for each other after the final whistle.

Pep's always amusing when he's going nuts, but I do love his passion, and in fairness he was right today, had to be a second yellow.

This is the correct approach to it imo. I don’t think he could have hit it first time and hit the target. He could have hit it high into the net but everything was so quick. It was a great block though.

Just wondering where the vibes sit in terms of the second yellow for Milner in the match?

Mad respect for Pep but he is absolutely unhinged when something doesn't go his way. That was better than the "twice twice" raving.

Matip is just so good.

It's a great rivalry between city and Liverpool. Managers screaming at each other,heavy tackles, players in each other faces. Then when the whistle blows it just hugs and pure respect.

There is no need for bitterness between the managers, they know they are the best, raised the English game to another level. They push each other and their teams to be better. It's worth saying though the city and Liverpool of a few seasons back would blow both these sides away.

Disappointed with the draw, but you'd watch this game every weekend if you could, word class football with 2 styles of play the managers refuse to compromise on.

Salah! Just give that man what he wants. We could of a ballon d'Or player this season at this rate. I used to think mane was a better player or there wasn't much between them but Salah is gone to another level since last season. He walked through the whole city defense to score that goal.

Mo Salah is gonna fire this team to the title.

He wants that new contract. Pay him.

We don't know, didn't seem like a free kick from Henderson. If it was more obvious I would agree with you, but I think most people would see the foul committed by Milner and that Henderson did not commit a foul.

I see this result as one point gained. If the referee was competent we lose this match. We got lucky. In the match you mention we were unlucky twice, with the possible red and then the clearance. This match we only had one "unlucky" moments, the clearance. But that doesn't happen if we don't get lucky earlier.

I am confusing myself here...bottom line we will have lots of what-ifs if we don't win the title. What if we don't concede against Brentford? If we win the title by a point, then City can moan about referees costing them the title.

One thing that's annoying me

The last two league games we let leads slip in the last 10 minutes and i feel in both Klopp was slow to react,

Brentford the issues was they targeted Trent in the air and when we went up we should have brought in Gomez or Konate to play inside Trent to give him help in the air & to give us a better chance at getting the second ball

Yesterday again the right side was the probably why not go 3 CB's at the end to cut out the threat when the Rb gets done he has help inside him , ,

Many times past season's we seen Klopp bring on a 3rd CB when we are leading near the end , Last two games he kind of just got caught up watching it, Imagine Chelsea in that position they should straight away shore up the backline,
