Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Shocking start to the season I hope I'm wrong but getting 2020/21 vibes off this season. Injuries already playing a part 🤮

Interesting to see how city go, if Haaland and a few others get injured they could be in trouble too. Zinchenko gone, Jesus gone. Long way to go this season.

chelsea and spurs on the rise too.

Just not happening up front at the moment. Ridiculously stupid by Nunez but in a funny way might have won a point as we were going nowhere. Elliott and Van Dijk played very well. Trent better than last week. Mo was poor.

Summer recruitment will cost us

A worse starting 11 and worse squad than last season

Angry at that.

Nunez with an amateur hour mistake, but that aside, we're not ready for the season. Very undercooked.

Diaz, for all his ability to do what he did, is still not in sync with patterns up front. He wants to play heroball constantly.

There just isn't any rhythm in possession yet. Some of the play is of the customary intensity, but the patterns of play just aren't.

It's all very predictable and pedestrian.

Did anyone say it wasn't?

Nunez has cost Liverpool the win there. All the good will he built up the last couple of weeks is thrown away again. Needs to control that aggression or whatever. Keep the head.

Really gonna be lacking a focal point next weekend now, and the midfield is now a massive issue. Elliot is the only one looking like he can play at the moment.

Yeah that was a poor night all round.

Palace are an incredibly ordinary team, even when we were down a man they offered next to nothing. But they just had to be organised to frustrate us.

Nunez won’t last long at Liverpool if he’s going to be riled up that easily. I hope Klopp gives him an absolute bollocking. Will cause us headaches in attack for the next few games now.

Diaz goal was unbelievable, and to be fair to him he ran his socks off for the cause, wasteful but one of our better players. Salah was quiet too.

Its too early to judge anything, but with our injuries(and now suspensions), creaky midfield and new look forward line that needs bedding in, might be a while before we see them back to their best.

I hope, and expect, Klopp to tear fcuking strips off Nunez in the dressing room.

He milked it no doubt but Nunez should have seen red for the earlier head contact alone.

Why he was so aggrieved that Anderson pushed him for it makes it even worse. If you’re going to play that sort of game expect it back.

At least he didn't bite him.

Elliott is going to be a superstar.

Looks that way!

Sadio was rubbish for stretches of the last few seasons. He mis controlled the ball more and more last year till he moved central. People keep forgetting how frustrating he was. Nunez is young and has the attributes to be just as potent if he can fulfil his potential (and not get sent off).

Yeah, but that happens.

The fact that they are still creating chances gives me some hope. It would be an awful lot worse if they were not creating chances.

Yeah just said the same there now

At risk of being too positive after 2 bad results, it does give you hope because at least the platform is there. Need a Jota type to just knock them in awkwardly

Nunez needs time. Anyone writing him off already needs their head checked.

So Nunez misses United, Bournemouth and Newcastle back for the derby

Just poke him and he'll check it for you.

Yeah I would be too.

Let's see how he reacts to an absolute bollicking from Klopp. Up to Nunez to prove himself now.

Of course he took a tumble, made a huge meal of it, but Nunez very nieve to get involved with him.

Really poor performance, really poor result. Someone used the phrase 'lack of composure' at half time, and I can't think of a better term to describe us for the first hour.

Only with 10 men did we sharpen up, a combination of different personnel (Hendo and Joe) and having no choice but to sharpen up. We had no rythem until then, all stop/start/sideways stuff.

Diaz and Nunez are very promising but are far from the finished article, Nunez in particular is trying too hard. We missed Bobby and Sadio so bad tonight. No point pining over Sadio I know, but we are still a lot weaker up top then we were.

Injury list is crazy though

Konate, Joe, Joel, Thiago, Naby, Hendo(?), Bobby, Jota, really stretched at the minute, and now Darwin will miss 3 games.

A couple of scouts around the league will be feeling vindicated tonight, regarding not spending 15 million on Nate.
