Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

But there is 30 games to go.

There are problems, and we’re certainly not looking like it now but there’s lots of games and a transfer window before all is said and done.

Calling CL an unrealistic target after 8 games is mental.

By no means our worst performance and could have taken a point in a tricky away game against the in-form team. I'm not too upset with that but I do feel that the consistency of the officiating would leave a lot to be desired.

I'm slowly starting to think that selling Salah last summer to fund a few younger, quality reinforcements might not have been the bad idea that we all feared.

Like league gone and all that but we've seen nothing of this team this season, and I mean literally nothing, to make you think we could string a number of wins together.

As things stand, top half looks like the aim, all the bodies are back, there has been ample rest amidst all this burnout nonsense talk and still we can't win a pair of games.

The biggest compliment to klopps reign is that a bad run causes a complete breakdown of rational thought, as evidenced by this level of insanity.

5 goals and 3 assists for Bobby in 6 league games this season.

Sell Trent? Jaysus, put down that drink and go for a walk.

"Do we blame Klopp, recruitment or FSG for this mess ?"

Both. Klopp and FSG are perfect for each other.

Forgot about the back 4? Signed Konate and Tsimikas in the last cupla years. Then have Gomez a long term contract and signed Ramsay as back up for RB. Whatever about the quality of those signings you can't possibly say there hasn't been planning in defense. Midfield is a whole other issue, everyone agrees on that.

Top 6 will be a struggle

We are 10 away from 3rd and City next so probably 13 points

Almost 5 wins

City & Arsenal are gone, Spurs could be soon

So that leaves Chelsea, United, Newcastle & US for 4th, i cant see it

2 wins so far is horrendous

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, speaking to BBC Sport: "We created, we were really dangerous, we scored our goal, wonderful goal. Then concede last second of the first half. Obviously we made a mistake, counter attack is the goal. That is our situation, getting to half time knowing we were good in the game but ignoring the result.

"We wanted to carry on the good stuff but unfortunately we didn't do that. We equalised, it was a really open game then. The situation around the penalty of course we should have cleared it. Now I saw it and I think you can imagine I don't think it is a clear penalty, it is a very soft one. I think it is a situation where the referee have another look at it in real time.

"Couple of things went against us but we are not blind, we see we could have done better in moments. In general it was a good away game against a good side. We caused them a lot of problems but stand here with no points."

On taking off Trent Alexander-Arnold: "He is injured unfortunately. Like Luis Diaz as well, it doesn't look good for both. That is the icing on the cake..."

More on the game: "Arsenal are doing really well and in the situation I think we played a good game. Conceding the three goals, it had nothing to do with the game really. We have to win challenges in these moments. They should not get in these situations but it happened.

"I saw a team with the right attitude and put in a proper fight and play football and first half we did but in the second half I didn't see these football moments as much.

"I think the game is a draw but today we have nothing."

I think pretty much all our problems start with the lack of planning in midfield. We let Wijnaldum go who played nearly every game each season without any replacement, have let Ox and Naby rot away without any replacement. Henderson is slowing down with age, Milner is finished and Thiago can't get a run of games without injury. The solution to all this has been to bring in Arturo Melo...

If TAA is out injured for a spell, then I think that's actually a positive thing. He's been the root cause of a lot of our problems.

Don't know where anyone would get the confidence that we will finish top 4. Right now I'd say it's more unlikely than likely. There is zero sign that results will be improving markedly for us any time soon.

What we look like is an ageing squad that has been overtaken by most of our big spending rivals. Years of a sell to buy policy has finally come home to roost.

That interview with Klopp on Bein sports is concerning imo. He doesn't look well.

No real worries about Nunez he will score plenty of goals.

Thought he may also be written off plenty on Twitter clips of training passes and shots going wide.

Look at that Rashford handball, conpare it to Gabriel, and tell me with a straight face that the laws aren't made up as they go along.
