Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Someone players find the calmness as they mature & then some just don't

The thing with Nunez is he will probably still score 15 goals this season in the Prem ,a bit of an Andy Cole misses loads but still scores,

The worrying thing about last night was the 3 chances he missed the exact same way each getting further away further away target ,

He palys at 100 miles an hour which is great he just needs to really work on becoming clam & focused in the moment he shoots ,Off the top of my head Suarez , Henry , Alexis Sanchez all similar & manged to become lethal ,

It was pointed out last night ( think it was Rebel), that he is not arcing his runs properly to get the best angle for a shot. As above, the same run three times last night and the same outcome.

I do have sympathy for him, first season at a new club. The other thing to say is that our defence (and Fabinho) being crap puts a lot more unnecessary pressure on the likes of Nunez to take all of these chances. We gave up three cheap goals last night and scored two on the break, I’d blame Joe Gomez more for last night that Nunez

I just want to see a healthy front 3 of Diaz-Nunez-Salah, they're all quick but Diaz is the one who's going to take it at the halfway line and burst down the wing, having Salah and Nunez to pull defenders on runs and take up positions in the box with Diaz' service will be lethal, that re-injury is the biggest loss of our season.

I'd like to cash in on Gomez.

Grand for 4th choice isn't cutting it for me anymore considering the amount of absolute brain-farts the guy has.

Reminds me of Donal Vaughan for Mayo. Great athlete - phenomenal athlete actually - but lacking in game intelligence at times.

However, Gomez is far more guilty of this than Vaughan ever was.

For his own career he probably should be looking to leave. He's much better than 4th choice, but he really struggles coming in and performing immediately. We've seen long stretches of absolute (league winning) excellence from him, but he seems to need a decent run to get up to those levels of concentration, which really doesn't suit the role of backup CB.

It's a really tricky one, since he's also that very rare quantity of a club-grown player - 1 of only 3 we have (Kelleher and Trent being the other two). We're already losing one CL spot because of not having 4, and we'll likely lose another as soon as Kelleher goes out on loan or whatever. Joe's also the best backup to Trent at RB, at least until Ramsay hopefully settles in. If his wages aren't too high, he's a fella who is quite hard to let go of for all those reasons... a lot depends on how Jarell Quansah is being viewed behind the scenes. He fills all those criteria too, and I bloody love the kid, but he's not been pushed forward yet.

I was attributing Vaughan with being the phenomenal athlete, which he was.

Mo scored 5 goals and had 2 assists in his first 10 league games for Liverpool.

Nunez scored 5 goals and has 2 assists in his 10 league games this season aqnd done it in less minutes on the pitch.

There has been plenty of times in Mo's time at Liverpool that he has missed complete sitters and other times he did not take the right option and pass to another attacker who was in a better position.

I guess the joint statement from the clubs before the game didn't work

I'll say this for Darwin. You rarely very watch a game and wonder where is he? He always seems to be involved in something. Whether it's good or bad. He's way quicker than I realised as well. That's a few times now we've seen him in a foot race with a defender and he's absolutely burned them every time. Not sure he's that quick off the mark but once he gets into his stride he eats up the ground.

I’ll say this on Darwin, and another poster a few weeks ago said very much the same thing, never have I seen a player have a game where they have world class moments but are an utter donkey at the same time!

All in all he has his faults but we’re a better team with him in it! Even his assist last night for Salah was a thing of understated beauty!

I'd be more worried if he wasn't getting the chances and helping the team. He'll be a monster striker when he settles down a bit and gets the finishing. I can't get over how fast he is though for his size, runs full backs ragged in a foot race. Still think we won't see the best of him until he's playing through the middle.

Lot of rumours about an announcement of some kind tomorrow due to Klopps interview embargoed until tomorrow afternoon

After the match, very little (as always) discussion/condemnation of the incessant anti-scouse songbook which some City fans engage in. Surely to f*ck songs like these only enflame tensions between fans? Wouldn't it make sense to look at eliminating this stuff? When Liverpool fans sang 'rent boy' stuff at the Chelsea player on loan at Norwich, the media were quick to, rightfully, call for an end to it. That was essentially a one-off, yet Feed the Scousers, Always the victims and other anti-scouse stuff gets a continual free pass.

If it was anything important the foreign media would be talking about it the Premier League embargo doesn't count outside of the English media who go mad when it is broken by foregin reporters.

Merry Christmas lads.

Mo's Christmas tree post, in the face of pathetic abuse for doing it, is a great Christmas tradition 🙂

Merry Christmas fellow reds!

Milner signing a 5 Year extension it is........

lot of rumours that something big is brewing.

Did you have too many Brussels sprouts? 😜

Oh yeah, he gets loads of crap from hardcore Islamists who say celebrating Christmas is against their teachings. Don't get it at all, he's clearly just joining in the cultural celebration of where he lives. And, let's be honest, Christmas isn't religious for an awful lot of us

Christ there was me thinking it was a blue Vs red thing.

While in the Christian world we fall over ourselves trying to be open, inclusive and tolerant of other religions. So much so that there are those that remove Christ and say Xmas so as not to offend.

Merry Christmas everyone.

I know historically the X was there as a sign for King but in recent times with Americanisms it was the removal of Christ.

But religion is for another thread.

Hopefully I'll get the 3 points I asked for tomorrow! 😀

I can definitely explain one of them.
