Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

I don't understand, Richarlison seemed to be dizzy after heading the ball so went down. That is a sign of a concussion and he should have been replaced. If players are going to start and use the serious issue of head injuries as a way for referees to stop the game and flow of a team, it is time to make mandatory substitutions for said head injuries.

But we know he was just using it as a way to waste time. If a club has a problem with being called a small club, maybe they should stop acting like one?

It'll likely be one of the centralised exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, Kraken etc. The whole attraction of the actual cryptocurrencies themselves (Bitcoin etc) is that they are decentralised so there is nobody in charge, as such, to pay for advertising etc.

Don't have to zoom in at all, he's a nasty piece of work and got a bit of karmic justice.

Fabinho also shared his love for the antics of Richarlison.

Everton got a bit too much praise in some quarters for that performance.

Liverpool were never out of control, and that is despite Everton sprinting for a change. Their fans should be ashamed of their team. If they literally just did that against Burnley a couple of weeks ago, they'd be safe.

I think too many are forgetting that Liverpool and Manchester City are in a weird position at the moment with all these games. They have to win every game, but they have to manage players' minutes, keep the team's rhythm going, try to tactically prepare for a new team and challenge every 3 or 4 days. it's unbelievably hard, even with the bevy of talent they have. and even during the game, each team is trying to take every possible moment to slow things down and save some legs.

I'd safely bet that Mane, who along with Thiago has been our best player in this latest run, was told he was only getting 60 minutes yesterday. so Klopp knew, even with the team having not scored yet, he wouldn't have arguably his most in-form attacker on the pitch. and then the likes of Origi has to be motivated enough to make a difference.

We had the luxury of a walk in the park against Utd. City had it at the weekend. and those sorts of games are massive when so many games are coming.

I don't think Klopp will play his absolute best team on Wednesday in the semi final. I'd say we'll see Salah, Thiago, Matip and maybe even Trent/Roberton rested. Newcastle is a very quick turnaround, and it's arguably the biggest banana skin left for us in the league.

but i'll be honest lads, I can't take many more of these games. it's too much for the heart.

Yep. The crypto world is still very young and generally misunderstood. The banking system is the most corrupt industry you could imagine yet has the veneer of respectability surrounding it.

Doesn't work like that. Sure look at the goal line technology mess up a few seasons back that kept Villa up and relegated Bournemouth... admission of guilt or not for on field decisions can't be used to form a legal case down the line in football. I remember reading about that Bournemouth case and they were told that if they were going to peruse any action it would bd a waste of time as the rules state a match is not invalidated because of malfunction of the VAR technology, officials mistakes or goal line technology. All clubs sign up to these rules so its very hard make a case against something you already signed and agreed to. If that rule wasn't in place, clubs would have legal teams set up to counter every dodgy VAR decisions that went against them.

It'll be a tough decision on what goes on our shirt between £70m for a crypto company, or nothing at all for a high resolution image of Pickford and Richarlison consoling each other after Everton's relegation.

Dermot Gallagher has confirmed on Sky's refwatch the Matrip challenge on Gordon (the actual challenge) was not a penalty. That clears that up.

Also says Richarlson was lucky to stay on the pitch. eVARton

Was there not a team in Spain who lost out because a Crypto Currency sponsor was not real in the end

Origi a true club legend of the Klopp era!

That might be Origi's last Preimer League goal for Liverpool his first Preimer League goal was the 96th minute equalizer against West Brom that really kick started the Klopp era.

How they laughed!

I said something similar in the general thread yesterday. I don't remember the same level of animosity years ago. They used to call it the friendly Derby. There was no fan segregation at the 86 Wembley final from memory. I put it down to a similar time starting with Joe Royle which Big Dunc was a part of.

Ferguson himself was rough as hell without being particularly malevolent from memory, although he did nearly kill the world's unluckiest burglar who he found in his house.

I must be in the minority, I don't want to see Everton relegated.

The reason people should be against any sort of crypto sponsorship is that is is absolutely terrible for the environment. It makes a mockery of any green initiatives undertaken by the club/league.

Not strictly the case - some of them are. Bitcoin and Ethereum, for example, are "proof of work" cryptographies which use a lot of electricity to mine. Even so, a lot of the mining companies are moving towards renewable/green energies.

Newer crypto's are using "proof of stake" which don't require electricity as there is no mining being performed. Hex being a great example.

Just because some coins don’t use proof of work doesn’t make them environmentally friendly, they’re just less energy intensive. Committing transactions across a distributed blockchain network is still much more energy intensive than traditional transactions.

Would prefer if the club stayed away from Crypto the same way I want them to stay away from betting companies. It’s gambling, and it’s complete lack of regulation makes it worse in some respects.

Liverpool already had that NFT auction a few weeks back, with those superhero playing card type rubbish for each of the players. They were hounded on social media by their own fans about it, but the auction went ahead anyway. No idea if it was a success or not, but any idiot paying 3 figures or more for jpeg of konate in a cape deserve their money taken off them.

I’m trying to wrap my head around the fact the Pickford decided to time waste and troll when it was nil nil and Everton are the the relegation zone. One their oldest most experienced players?

I mean, it makes no sense. Alison did his trolling when Liverpool were 2-nil up with a few minutes to go.

For me, the Everton rivalry is a local thing so I have never had much problem with them as a team but i have no idea what the point of them acting like they did yesterday.

Yea I see no problem, doesn't mean we need to get involved in it, we didn't get into Beer making under Carlsberg, or Banking under Standard Chatered, or have Ian Rush going around painting houses under Crown Paints.

I have a soft spot for Everton and would like to see them stay up.

I am die hard Liverpool, I kick every ball on the pitch with them, but if the Reds weren’t winning trophies I’d love to see the toffees pick them up over any other team.

I also recall the games of the late 80’s. They were by far the best games of the season. I remember my old man ask me (in mid 90’s) if I could pick a game to go to which would it be? I immediately said a Merseyside derby and his face and heart sank……. He had got us tickets for home game against Utd and was convinced I’d say that…… we still went…:… and lost, 3 nothing I think……. I was raging, we were with the right people who were going to bring us into the players lounge after but after the drubbing they got, nobody was allowed in!

Rushie might not have been painting houses with crown paints but I'd say he's bought a few Hitachi's trying to keep up with that younger bird he's with.

Really good point and often overlooked.
