Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

crazy stuff, never seen that before... he blew up for a load of their lads going down... was a bit mad to be fair... small time crowd tbf..

listen even big sam got result like that... a stopped clock is right twice a day and all that...but they should incredible character

some wake up call tonight a Leicester team void of confidence with no recognisable centre halves playing yet we gift them the three points

city go 9 clear tomorrow then we go to Stamford bridge it’s definitely looking like it’s top 4 and win the cups for me

A BLIP IS good, at the right time, City's will come too. We just need to win the second half of the season, we only reached the half way point tonight. No prize for winning the first half.

But Liverpool does this to teams on a different level too....the likes of a Southampton, West Ham, Leeds etc put together a decent squad and we will be one of the first to raid their assets. Like Barca, Real have done to us for a number of years.

Regarding the money washing, this is only the beginning. All these top clubs are now worth billions and when FSG decide to sell up who do you think is going to be lining up to buy us? Unfortunately there is not too many ethical foundations with billions to spare who just love investing in football clubs.

I dunno how City win so many games with such attack minded midfielders, maybe it's a game of bluff, teams fear them, so down tools

A fit Origi could have done a job there tonight or even Minamino.

Bobby is only coming back from an injury and doesn't look match ready.

We need at least two more forward of a certain standard that doesn't have a drop off from the first team however Liverpool can't afford to pay £150/200k a week to squad players of that level like City or Chelsea that may not be used every game.

They have the best technical players around, so can keep the ball insanely well in any situation, even under the duress of a full press. Any team who can't counter accurately or keep the ball themselves, is fúcked.

If you beat that press, as Leicester showed for 20 minutes the other day, they can be routinely gotten at. The problem is, not enough teams are good enough to do it.

They haven't won the Champions League under Pep because the system is flawed against elite teams without prime Messi, and you generally meet 2 or 3 in a row at some stage.

But the best team of technical players, in that system, beats 95% of teams. Hence he tends to steamroll leagues.

Some big calls for Klopp next summer some of his boys (Mane,Bobby ) may need moving on

He is a very loyal manger and funds are always tight so it'll be interesting ,

What gets me about last night is not that we lost, I hate losing but I can handle it. It is that we lost and it was down to ourselves and our best players. Jota missed a few good chances and Salah and Mane missed almost certainties. We go 1-0 up with the penalty and Leicester cannot sit back and the game is different. Mane one-on-one and he misses.

Add in good saves from Schmeichel and it is just such an irritating loss. But no time to be down, the next match is around the corner and we have to be up for it. League is gone, but I think we have to accept that under Guardiola and unlimited funds and no breaks for their spending, the league will always be out of reach. It is a miracle we took them that close and won it. That was magnificent, City will make the Premier League look like the Bundesliga from now on.

We didn't even need a striker, Salah with a better penalty and Mane with the finish and I think we win the match. Its how it goes sometimes I guess, doesn't make it easier to digest.

I thought Naby played a few brilliant passes into Mane in the box when he came on,

I think we missed Robbo ability to constantly make the outside run to create the space for Mane , Without question one of the stupidest red cards we have got under Klopp no need for it at all,

We will struggle against Chelsea to create from the left , You need that over lap to pull there 3rd CB out ,

The worst part about the loss is that it makes the Chelsea game a must win now, just to keep somewhat in touch with City at the top.

I could’ve tolerated the idea of a draw at Stamford Bridge under the assumption we’d deal with Leicester handily enough. We don’t even have that luxury anymore, lose on the 2nd and there really is no way back, barring season-ending injuries to Dias, Cancelo, Silva and Rodri at the very beginning of February. Any earlier and City could just replace them in the transfer window with £70m players on a whim.

That’s what we’re up against. The title win of 2020 is looking more and more legendary every day.

Frankly I can't see how we don't win the title from here, so much of the harder work is done. It will be great winning a second league title with Klopp.

Exactly, focus on our own performances, let City do what they do, it's not in our control.

Only caught highlights of last night in MOTD, seemed we had a lot of good chances, but ran into Kasper on a very good day for him. I might be a bit off, but I thought we looked a bit leggy even in the highlights, I thought the same in the Spurs game in the second half too. Someone suggested Klopp giving a bollocking above, I don't know if that will achieve anything, are we suggesting there is a lack of effort?? Not likely, probably just some tiredness, the challenge is to keep the lads fresh while still picking up points.

As above, Chelsea has now turned I to a winner takes all, chances are though the big winner will be City with a draw in that game.

I talk about it all the time but just get shot down about it constantly. Mane isnt half the player he was 2 years ago when he was arguably one of the top 5 footballers in the world. It's a crying shame really cos he was amazingly good for a few years.

Jakers! This is a bizarre post.

When do we face Arsenal away in the league, as no where is it listed,

Only thing is Man City have played Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal after Saturday away from home so will have them at home in the 2nd half of the season

Updated January fixtures (Kick-off times)

There is no-one more important to have in CM than Fabinho. Last thing we need to be doing is actively taking him out of there.

Think we've more than enough quality at CB without throwing our best number 6 in there.

Bissouma was just never gonna happen anyway, with an ongoing sexual assault case hanging over his head.

For better or worse, Klopp decided to bet big on Elliott, and it was just unfortunate that after some great performances he got a serious injury. We'd be in the same boat if Bissouma or Kessie or someone came in and got the same injury. Sometimes you just get unlucky with bad injuries at the wrong times.
