Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

West Ham was always my hope, and it still is. It's just changed to needing a West Ham win instead of a draw.

West Ham have a week off to rest now, and will want the win to get back into EL after today's result. They can overtake Man United with a win.

City play Wolves away in between now and that game and Wolves also slightly have a chance of making European football after their result yesterday.

Not gone yet. Very unlikely, but not gone. The manager and players didn't give up at 14 points down. I don't think they will give up at 3 points down. Not when there's a chance....

Yeah I think we're in the realm of possibly resting a lot of the lads on Tuesday against Villa in order to be right for Chelsea in the Cup at the weekend. We looked a bit tired last night (both mentally and physically) and with City padding their GD today, it just tips the league even further out of our reach, imo. I'm worried going all out for the league now will hurt our chances of winning the 2 cup finals while chances are we'll still finish 2nd in the PL to matter how well we do in the league games.

Klopp is pragmatic enough to realize that's a fork in the league chances. I'd honestly keep Salah out of the remaining league games, he's absolutely knackered.

League position is gauranteed so all efforts should be focused on finishing this season with 2 more trophies.

I said all along we had to beat City and win our remaining games to win it, both those are scratched now. It's over, can you honestly see city dropping 4 points out of the next 3 games against West ham, wolves and villa?

Dias, Stones and Walker out for the season. Slightly widens the glimmer of hope

Can I see a team losing a football match?

Yes I can.

Certainly, it's no reason to throw on the towel.

We need to do our part, and let the cookie crumble the way faith has planned.

We need to beat Villa, by enough to go top.

aye the killer is Newcastle should have been 1 up.. free header ffs....

have to say city's set piece corners are unreal.. they always seem to score when they need to

The reporter should have asked Pep how many PL titles City had before the oil money rolled in.

Did'nt realise we only start counting from 1992, i'll have to write that down in my notebook.

Have tickets to the Frames too ffs

Great band. Watched the busking thing that Glenn is involved with on line on Christmas eve. Special..really was. Couldn't wait for the concert..

But some things are more important.

Watching with my little man..might never get a chance like this again.

Made sure he is a red..he has the gaff decked in red all year

Pep talking like he has won it.

Cool

It will be the sweetest of victories when we are crowned champions.

With that news now I wish we were playing them in the CL final, theyre down to Ake and Laporte at centre back and Zinchenko at right back

Wolves home record is poor, 9 times they avoided defeat, 8 losses/

Coin flip

I'd say it's frustrating for Pep, he's built an absolute monster of a team while most of the talk is about Liverpool.

But why shouldn't it be? 3 finals this year and still in with a slim chance of winning the league. It's a phenomenal season, even without the PL. And it's been done by a team with significantly less resources.

Pep will never get that level of adulation at City from the wider footballing world because, while they're an unbelievable team, people recognise he's in a low risk situation. Player not working as you would hope? Sell him, stick him on the bench or whatever, doesn't matter, we'll get a new one. Bought Grealish for 100m last year, for what exactly? They already have a young player for his position. So they bought him just because they could. Now they're going to get Haaland next year, give him 500k a week. In some ways he's the perfect representative for City, bags of talent but has spent the last year being hawked around looking for the highest bidder.

There will always be a level of admiration of what he's built, but as long as there are teams that can do almost as much with a lot less, they'll never be the main story.

Liverpool living rent free in Pep's head. He is expecting to be running away with the league each season so he can focus on the CL. 3 of the last 4 seasons one team has stopped him running away with the league and he failed in the CL and once in the league. He got to his first final with City when he had a free run at the league as Liverpool had not pushed last season.

This.

City (Pep) have built an absolutely brilliant team which is dominating and consistently winning the PL but they haven't earned it, they've bought it and for that reason they rightly don't get the credit they'd like to get from most fans and media which absolutely frustrates the bejaysus out of them.

Fuuuck offf Man City you ain't got no history....

Six European cups and 19 Leagues, that's what we call history!

Don't even know a single person who supports them to be honest.

Hopefully our lads keep the foot on their throats so they can't have an easy finish. And if they slip up.... Who knows.

I think I was the first person on here to state that it would be like 13/14 and 18/19 and City would win all the games they needed to. We lost our chance when we didn’t beat them few weeks ago, and overall we probably lost our chance over the Xmas with them dropped points. Let’s keep going and hope for the best anyway, Wolves could beat them midweek and Stevie G get a draw on last day.

We've bought out the sell on clause in Gordon's contract.

One League title in thirty years does sting me.

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I wanted the league more than the CL this year.

In ten, twenty years time, the likes of City, Chelsea, Newcastle could be long gone if their owners move on.

United I think will be back and I want us to get ahead of them on league titles - to my mind they are always the rivals and City and Pep are here today and hopefully gone tomorrow.

It's amazing you can be of course for 90+ points and people are pointing out what you did wrong.

13 wins out of 15 or something.

The team didn't lose anything imo. This points total wins you the league most seasons. When you are required to be this close to perfection it seems perverse to focus on the few dropped points.
