Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Lads lets be fair here, nobody on here has said a single thing that isn't fair on Nunez

People have just commented on his minutes so far & all have said its very early days & or mentioned it's preseason ,

I'm not going at ya but you said "have we been sold a pup?" Why even make that comment, some of our best players have taken time to get up to speed with Klopp's style, if he's struggling after 10 league games I still won't be questioning the signing and Klopp won't be panicking either.

Four goals in 150 minutes while playing with mostly different players in all appearances in a new team and system. Not to bad in all reality.

He hasn't looked any worse than most of the players.

Good to know one can get away with saying pretty much any nonsense as long we append it with “but it’s early days” at the end.

I’ll definitely be using that neat little trick in future. 👍️

Lads writing off Nunez and he hasn't even kicked a ball in a competitive match as of yet, wild...

Italian journos saying a 22m bid for Bobby has gone in...

I don't think Klopp will let him go this year though, we are too short, maybe next year on a free...

Good news Pearce has poured cold water on the Firminho links via the Athletic, see link...

Allison ruled out of the community shield, Kelleher is still injured so Adrian starts in goal.

I really want to win it and hope that Adrian brings he's previous curtain raiser luck to this one.

..

I don't expect a really good goal keeper but I'm sure there is plenty of steady keeper's at his age out there,

Adrian to me is a goal keeper i expect to make unforced errors,

I'm sorry lads but nobody will convince me we couldn't do a lot better than Adrian as 3rd choice,

It's one of them sites to remove the paywall....

What was the article again?

I do vaguely remember something with her name attached to it but can't remember tbh!

The main thing is Bobby ain't going anywhere according to the boss...

😌

There is better options, but what is the point in kicking a 3rd choice keeper out of the club, just to bring in another and have to then get him integrated into the group and style of play etc.

The players seem like they have a real close knit bond. It helps them. It's a reason why they have been successful and why they challenged for 4 trophies last season when it looked like it could be 1 or 2 at Christmas time.

Changing the 3rd choice keeper just creates unnecessary change for the sake of it and creates disruptions within the group just for the off chance that they have to play 1 game in the season.

Definitely not a priority signing for me this summer.

I agree its not a priority not even close but i still can't believe he is still here especially given how good we are theses days

Funny you mention integrated into our playing style , because there is no way I'm the only fan that screams don't pass it back to Adrian when he does play for me the lad's nervous are down to the fact he is in no way suited to our style , As of October 2020, Adrián had made five errors directly leading to goals in his 21 appearances for Liverpool , 1 every 4 games ,

Also it wasn't a case of kicking him out his contract was up at the start of last season and we gave him a new one,

Yes he will stay this season & hopefully does well but still baffles me that he is here,

There are already some questions on why is Kelleher staying when he should be thinking about moving to get more 1st team football if he wants to be considered for Ireland. You did say you didn't fancy him so you may think it would be okay to lose him but the fact is if you have a good 2nd choice keeper you will get questions on why that player is in your squad and not looking for 1st team football. There must be something wrong with him to stay and not to play if he is good enough to start elsewhere.

So you have players not as good and willing to stay, or you have brilliant players who will have questionable desire as they are just happy to be bench warmers. Either way you are going to have doubts from some quarters. Adrian is probably the best you can hope for as 3rd choice in reality. I mean he is no worse than the 2nd choice at City last year and he was not our 2nd choice.

Bobby is more valuable to us than a 20m transfer fee, would like to keep him for this year.

Yeah, I'd expect Diaz - Jota - Mo to be the first choice for at least the first half season, if Jota comes back from his injury soon.

A bit mad at the charity shield is tomorrow only feels like only last week that last season finished

what, Klopp rates Kelleher extremely high. Are you trying to tell us you know something he doesn't???

To be fair I take Klopp on his merit when it comes to things like this as its not in his style to do otherwise. He wouldn't have started him in a cup final if he didn't think he was up to it...I just find it funny that you seem to always have flaws for many members of the squad as if you know more than the people that are involved with these players on a daily basis!

It will be nice to watch the game tomorrow on ITV and not have search around the world for it.

This is great news the WSL Merseyside derby in Septemeber will be played at Anfield this season.

Liverpool League Games for the first 3 months of the season

Is there a possibility of the Brighton match being moved? Im heading over for that game, but afraid to buy flights in case it's moved - I think some CL games are on around the 4th/5th October?

Ok, you say there's only two players you'd get rid of, Ox and Adrian, literal non entities when it comes to the first team but you also said we're a midfielder and forward short the other day. How big do you want the squad to be?

Looking at City, I see they have lost Laporte for the first month of the season. Squad comparison below, positions taken from both team's sites

TAA, Ramsay, VVD, Konate, Matip, Gomez, Robertson, Tsimikas vs Walker, Dias, Stones, Laporte, Ake, Cancelo

Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago, Keita, Jones, Elliott, Milner, Ox vs Rodri, Phillips, KDB, Silva, Foden, Grealish, Gundogan, Palmer

Salah, Diaz, Jota, Nunez, Firmino, Carvalho vs Haaland, Mahrez, Alvarez

I make us stronger in both defence and attack with them stronger in midfield. In my opinion they need at least two if not three more players added to their squad as they now only have 16 of the above fit. If you think we're light, how many players do they need? Six? Seven?

That's 22 vs 17 outfield players. With a full squad they will be having kids on the bench, we'll be leaving the likes of Ox and Adrian back in their homes. Unless they go and spend and get 2-3 players in, along with their whole squad (minus three) going to the world cup versus us, having more than a dozen missing it, we're winning the league this year. I have no doubts about it.

Well that's Ox injured again. Described as a 'serious' hamstring injury. He just can't stay fit. Safe to say he'll no longer be in any of klopps plans.
