Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

I'd still like to see if he could regain his previous form with us but if he went and we replaced him adequately then I wouldn't complain. The lad needs games, badly.

Yeah I would like him to rediscover that, of course. He did have a brilliant set of skills, that would still be beneficial to the team - burst of pace, energy, direct, has good drive and a good shot from distance. He seems like a great lad too.

But I can't help remember that performance off the bench against Leipzig last year, which was the worst sub appearance I've seen in a long long time. He flattered to deceive a lot in those other sub appearances around that time in February/March in general. The worrying thing is, can you trust Ox to put in a performance now for 60 odd mins from the start? Poor against Norwich in the league, worse against them in the cup & hasn't really been seen a whole lot else this season. It's all well and good saying to give him a few starts to play him into form but if he puts in a shocker of a performance in midfield, it may cost Liverpool the game and you can't start him again in the next game.

It's been a long time since that Atletico game where he was great, let alone his 17/18 form. Maybe a start against Watford with the depleted midfield options is possible, but if he doesn't show up in that start, he won't be playing Man Utd the week after and maybe not another start at all.

Ox had two very serious injuries there is no way he gets anywhere near his previous best without playing regular football , He plays a few minutes every few weeks wit us its impossible for the lad to find form again

It would have helped us & him if he was loaned out and played every week, If he got back to his best brilliant bring him back if not let him move on ,

Unfortunately if Matip stays fit Joe Gomez might have the same issues in for a game out for 3 isn't ideal for CB like Joe

I be more worried about Dembele's attitude than his injury record, When you read stories that he constantly turns up late for training because he is playing video games all night and that he has other behavior issues and these stories come from both club and international teams.

If he's never going to find his best form, or even get regular starting game time at Liverpool, then he should be sold.

Worth a gamble on a free transfer definitely, very young still. Lol £110m Barca paid for him

Dembele is a disaster off field and we should avoid him at all costs. If he goes out of contract at Barca, he'd be a 'free' transfer who's opening position in contract negotiations will be well north of £200k a week plus a substantial signing on fee spread out over the life of the contract. He's not gonna sign for £50k and appearance money (and even at that, I'd be reserved). Rather than gamble hundreds of thousands a week on him, it'd be better to chuck it at Salah to keep him here until he's 34.

We're in a nice sort of position really with these kinds of things, where Klopp clearly puts so much stock in people's character that there's little enough chance of him bringing in a fella who'll cause trouble.

So if someone like that were to join, we could feel pretty alright that Klopp saw enough to feel like they'd grown up a bit or whatever.

It's nice to be able to just not really worry about that issue at least - so just the financials to crib about really :)

Kelleher,

Milner Matip VVD Robbo

Hendo

Jones Naby

Mo Bobby Mane,

No Firminio wasn't called up the squad this time around

Trent back in training anyways.

Minamino played 78 minutes as Japan beat Australia 2-1

Kelleher, Tsimikas, Robbo, Naby Lad all start & Connor Bradley starts for the North in midfield.

Hendo on the bench for England.

Sure, I get that but if we get him on loan it gives him a chance to embrace Klopps work ethic. If he does happy days, if not, thanks but off you go back to Barca.

No real downside.

Okay ticket forum gone so couldn't think of anywhere else to post.

What are the best travel agents to use for ticket packages for Liverpool Home games to take a Liverpool supporting parent.

He's come with me to Highbury and Emirates and can't take him in away section.

So any suggestions

Appreciate it

Thanks

Talk of Joao Felix on loan i'd prefer that than Dembele,

He has lost his way a bit at Madrid but still only 21

Thiago back doing individual training so hopefully he might make it back for the utd game

Kelleher

Trent

Gomez

Hendo

Jones

Then I presume they can use Rhys Williams or Elliot if they need to. In addition to the players you mentioned if they stay. Can see now why Bowen was linked.

Would Bellingham be home grown i presume so ?

Also what about Haaland wasn't he born in England and lived there till about 3 does that count ?

A BVB double Bellingham & Reyna.

Joining Elliott and Jones there is a strong four in the midfield for the next decade just need to find a young replacement for Fab then.

La Liga has postponed games this weekend that involves players who will be returning late from international duty in South America this week.

Liverpool had asked to move their game with Watford to later the same day and it was rejected straight away. Can't even move a game a few hours in the PL but other leagues will move games very easily easily.

LA Liga are always very accommodating like that. They regularly move or change games to suit teams in European competitions midweek.

The Premier league and the FA could learn a thing or two from them.
