Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Leicester did a job on us there. We just weren’t at it and missed ridiculous chances. It happens. Onwards to beat Chelsea now.

We were never going to win the league. Results against worse teams then leicester showed that already. The big question is are the club willing to do what needs to get done to bridge the gap between is and City.

Plenty of decent chances in the first half. Of we score the penalty then it's a different game. Very flat in the second half.

Our set pieces were piss poor all game. Never a sniff against one of the worst set piece defences in the league. An off night all over the pitch. No stand out performances in that game for me. Bar Matip who was mostly excellent all night.

Never really taught we could keep with City.

I'd go for the fizzy cola cup and try to stay in the big one.

We just need to stay out of the top 4 race. Finish 2nd or 3rd and go for broke in the cups.

Mane and Bobby are done. Hopefully the owners have a plan otherwise I fear Klopps last couple of years will be poxy.

I'd actually hold onto Nat Phillips too and sell Gomez

Although I agree with you, do you think anyone can truly compete with the City levels of investment and not worry about ending up with a mountain of unsustainable debt. And it’s not just purchases but unsustainable wages have to be looked at. I’ll draw the ire of Utd fans here but they paid City level wages but didn’t recruit the City level of player. We can’t do both purchase and wages.

Barca, arguably once the richest club in the world (self titled) have ended up in bits competing against PSG in investment.

FFP has been made a mockery of and football is eating itself with waaaay to much power in the hands of the vastly wealthy clubs, something smaller clubs have been saying for a very long time, even before Chelsea oligarchs, City and PSG oil nations level of cash.

we could do with a younger pacy replacement/competition for Mane. He’s been flat for some time compared to how brilliant he was. He seems easily man marked now.

That’s very funny. I genuinely LOL’d. Cheers

Lads city bought a 100m player they didn't even need. Don't get too down, we need investment but those players give everything. Salah will get his contract but mane and firmino shouldn't be offered new ones.

Maybe we will win the league again,hopefully we can and it would be some achievement.

I’m not sure there is a middle ground when you have City levels of cash to compete against. We have refreshed but with the ‘ole diamond in the rough levels of spending rather than a superstar which is what City can do. I’m not sure even Chelsea can compete with this.

The PL is making a fortune so it ain’t going to change to a FFP system. The Germans have that system for their league and the Spanish claim a version of it by restricting Barca purchases this year but it’s clearly not working there. It’s aim was to ensure no bankruptcy. Utd would be a monster club with FFP in place so maybe we wouldn’t be happy with that either.

Yup

What's your solution when you are competing with unlimited oil money? They'll buy haaland in the summer, well take a punt at around 30-40m on another jota level signing?

You do love to post when there's a bad result 🤔

Sometimes we'll score 5, and everything goes in, but once in a while this happens, and we score none, when usually we get at least 2.

Had we scored two tonight we'd praise this performance hugely for how dominate it was, but we never took our chances.

I can see why Bowen was being looked at in the summer now.

City won't disappoint you, they will pummel Brentford tomorrow!

Liverpool now 8-1 for the title, that's a great ew with it paying two places.

City have Brentford A, Arsenal A, Chelsea H, Southampton A

While we play Chelsea next, Brentford H, Palace A

I can't see us losing two in a row, or not scoring twice in a row, so watch out Chelsea. While City have a tricky run.

Mane has 18 months left on his contract I think. Don't see him getting a new one from Liverpool. So they'll either sell him next Summer with a year left or let him run out his contract in 2023.

Been a great player for Liverpool but physically he seems in decline. I can't remember the last time I saw him take on and skin a defender. Something he used to do all the time.

i dont get this what is he supposed to do... yer man is jumping and he decides not to?? so what ?

I agree with his. I hope and expect we sign someone for his position this window.
