Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

To be fair as good as Edwards was he also let alot of the major contract run down at nearly the same time.

If Mane hadn't left and decided to wait and leave on a free and Ward didn't get the Salah deal done over the summer.

They woulld have joined Ox, Naby, Bobby & Milner with contracts ending next summer.

That should not really happen.

Thaigo & Matip's contracts end in 2024 so do we offer new contracts or try and sell next summer.

If Thaigo goes that is 4/5 midfielders that need to be bought next summer and the floowing summer.

Everything has a value if under contract. You have to take the risk of signing them up, with the intention of selling at some point after, Firmino should be signed up, then sell in summer of 2024 for 25m. He'll be worth more than we spend on wages on him in summer of 24

I assume it’s a reference to the Forest supporters being sent to the Spion Kop at Hillsborough and the Liverpool fan to Leppinhs Lane End.

This article has come about specifically after the Forest “fans” last week spent a large part of the game singing always the victim.

The message from the last cartoon was just that, had they been allocated the Leppings Lane end, it could so easily have been 97 Forest supporters that didn’t come home.

A sad, but brilliant depiction of the fateful day and the bullsh1t that Liverpool supporters have faced since!

I remember watching Hillborough unfold live on TV as a 13 year old at a birthday party. I don’t know anyone that died that day, but it has been a day I still have never forgotten witnessing!

I hate those chants, the same as I hate the Munich chants, just unnecessary sh1t stirring from cünts who have, and I hope never will, witness or experience the same.

I think one of the issues now with the Hillsborough chants is that it has become something that has been passed down to the next set of supporters who were too young or not even born to appreciate the tragedy.

They think they're just sticking it to an opposition team.

I don't think I ever remember City fans singing any chants to us or reported to be singing before they became rivals.

I mean the graffiti that was written on the walls would not have come from anybody 35 or over.

Like any change in society it has to come from within. United, City, Chelsea, Forest or whichever club fans sing these chants, other of their own fans need to highlight the people singing to the security who should be intervening and stopping. I know it's easy to say if 50 to 100 or more start singing but it always starts with a handful.

This equally applies to Liverpool fans who sing anything about Munich, etc.

I was in the Anfield road end many years ago versus City and the atmosphere was fantastic (I was right next to the away support). Nothing vile, all good natured and plenty of shared tunes about Man Utd. Couldn't imagine being in the same seat against City now, and certainly wouldn't be bringing the kids.

Stephen Ireland and Gerrard scored that day in a 1-1. I had some amount of whiskey.

God, that's a well done slide so

Thanks for that

All those retractions from those who called Hendo a racist without any proof should be in any minute now surely....

Fa statement is odd , they say they are satisfied the allegation was made in good faith, but there is no case to answer ,

Ye i guess that what the FA have to do in this case ,

I've a feeling that we are gonna see a rough enough looking line up tonight, especially in midfield & attack.

Hendo is gonna start in midfield after being rested the last day. Thiago is probably still out. Ox can't play, Keita isn't fit. Fabinho doesn't really deserve to play and actually should be taken out of the team for a week or two if possible. Milner might start in midfield this game and get passed around for 60 mins. I wouldn't be surprised to see an all English midfield of Hendo, Milner & Elliott. I'd like to see Bacjetic given minutes if possible and all.

Salah is still the only natural wide forward that can start. And even then, there is questions about his fitness after taking that knock on Saturday. Salah is tough though and usually plays through then. I don't think Bobby can start again. He's not able, it's showing in his legs. He has already had to start 4 games in 10 days. Raising that to 5 starts in 14 days is a bridge too far IMO. I'm sure Nunez will be back, thankfully. He's a key player already now so hopefully he is fit to start. If not, there are bigger problems. By virtue of default, we might have to see Jones or Carvalho again in an unfamiliar LW role.

Not much scope for rotation etc or element of surprise.

Winning tonight is very important so I think Klopp will go as close to full strength as he can.

We only need a draw to qualify.

Qualification for the knockout stage is very important now given our form.

I'm fairly sure a 3-2 loss also sees us through, or a 4-3 loss etc.

Nunez showing how important he has been.

Crazy that some fans were writing him off after a couple of games.

Ajax need to win by 2 clear goals or 1 goal and then destroy Rangers and hope Napoli put a few past Liverpool to swing the GD for them to go through if Liverpool lose their next two games.

Team

I reckon Salah & Nunez score,

All depends on how many we let in

Especially when he might be asked to play at the weekend again. Although with Nunez back now, that gives another option down the middle.

Looks like 4 3 3

Ripped apart after 2 mins. Good times.

Is this a diamond midfield with Bobby at the tip?

Lots of diving so far from Ajax at least the ref is up to it so far

When they attack Fabhino is playing CM on his own its an awful shape we have

Elliot is RW
