Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Keita broken down in training again by the sounds of things.

Surely not.

Redondo when injured at Milan refused to take his wages due to his injury record. Not saying I'd expect the same from Naby, or any other professional footballer, but there comes a time when you think, "c'mon mate, do something for us".

I think it's time to get Naby an LFC coffin, his Liverpool career is surely dead at this stage. 1.5 months to January and he can sign for whomever he likes for a decent wedge too.

I'd love for us to go in for Tielmans and Madison. Rice or Bellingham be lovely too.

PL proven players has to be a positive but probably cost too much unfortunately.

Yeah it was soft for sure. KDB making sure to go down once he felt even the slightest of touches just like Jesus did against us earlier in the season. "It was just clever from KDB" according to Jermaine Jenas on MOTD. Had that been Salah he would have been slated as a diver WHILST simultaneously not being given the pen as we have seen countless times in Mo's Liverpool career to date. The bias is quite pathetic.

Agreed. At this stage, let him be someone else's problem.

And yet a fit Keita playing for 60 or 70 mins every game is extremely valuable. He doesn't need to play the full 90 mins. Some players are more durable than others and that's ok. Keita would be a massive addition this season in midfield. Especially with the others losing their legs and energy, which he has lots of.

Klopp likes (liked) Keita a lot and I think that's evident. He always played him when fit. Klopp also listens heavily to the sports science guys, sometimes too much I think, especially this season.

But anyways, I think it's all for nothing as he's gonna leave in the summer on a free. It will take a lot for him to prove to Klopp he is willing to fight to stay longer. And then stay fit enough, and then play well enough. All while ignoring outside lucrative bosman contract offers.

Don't think I've ever seen a Liverpool player more polarising than Keita.

yup and the funny thing with Jenas is that he said the penalty VAR checks in the forest game were correct as the contact was too soft...

there's no consistency in any of these checks.. Wolves also got a pen for a handball in the box... we didn't get awarded one against Arsenal...

Team

In an ideal world we have this wrapped up in 60 minutes and carvalho, Ramsay and Bajcetic get some minutes, I don't think that's what will happen though.

2-1 squeaky bum win.

Lose today and spurs and Newcastle could already be out of sight

great to have Konate back

Of all the teams to avoid going 1-0 down against early, it's a Conte team.

Ibou is playing to stake his claim as a starter in the French squad for the World Cup, so there’s absolutely no danger of him phoning it in like his partner beside him. I do think Virgil will raise his game against a decent side like Spurs though, especially up against Kane.

Our bench is weak

It’s a good time to play Spurs given they have a few big injuries and we are (relatively) healthy (apart from Jota, Diaz etc).

Need an early goal though, or could get ambushed like against Leeds and Forrest

I wonder if we'll see the diamond again, to counter act the packed midfield?

The bias against us and our foreign players is actually ridiculous. I'm surprised it hasnt been more of a conversation on here tbh cos it is outrageous.

Darwin looking very dangerous.

Get in!!

Goallllll

Lucky keeper there

Exactly, as I’ve already praised him for.
