Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Stretchered off with a knee injury. Following the Sky sports text commentary they were indicating it might have veen time wasting but then retracted it.

One of the least deserving victories we're likely to get. Dreadful. But we'll take it!

A tough 3 points but got them in the end

Phew !

7pts off City now, oh it's on.

City now face Everton at home, Chelsea away, Man U away, Spurs at home, Wolves at home, Spurs away, Villa at home, Arsenal away

The nightmare run,

Of those games. Utd will raise their game and Arsenal will be tough. City will win the rest of those comfortably.

I just don't think you can grow hair like that and not be a chaotic defender.

I see a couple of defeats in that lot. Spurs away, Chelsea away, United away, Arsenal away

Thiago was our only midfielder tonight and Trent didn't give Barnes a sniff in the second half

He doesn't need it. He is actively destroying his legacy with his attitude and strange choice of club to finish his career. Utd jumped through hoops for him and it took a strong manager to stand up to him. All the bull about wanting CL football when the reality was no team wanted the man-child.

I'd love to agree with you but only Utd and Arsenal are playing decent football and look like they could take on City. Utd might be a little too open and be perfect for City but you never know.

Elliott just seems miles away from the required standard right now ,

We all no he can't press or run but even his attacking play & his moment when we have it is poor,

Iv noticed Trent never finds space to get on the ball when Elliot plays in front of him ,

It's expected he'll struggle defensively with Elliott helpingn but I think he struggles just as much offensively,

Of course we'll lose away to Brentford, so we're fcked either way

Those chances are leaving a poor midfield very exposed. Take 3 of those in the right games and it's a different perspective.

Rob, like you as a poster, but imo, that's an absolutely outrageous take on the game today. Hendo, Elliot and Chamberlin were all poor tonight, leaving Tiago to do the work for an entire midfield. He ran the show. Without him, we are toast.

Don't really get the honours thing, but nice that he's recognised

I retract I put it down to drink and out watching the match I was clearly wrong there! Just thought the midfield in general was shocking, Keita made a difference though.

I don't want to see the ox play for us again

Didn't get to watch it.

Watching highlights, clear we were blessed and I've actually no felt so bad for an opposition player as I have with Fae.

Very worrying performance tbh. If that doesn't reinforce the need for midfielders then nothing will.

Poor performance, but at the same time we could’ve still scored another 2 or 3 easily enough.

we’re creating a lot of chances, which is a step up from some of our previous ruts.

We are literally 2 good midfielders away from being one of the best teams in Europe

Gini used to get a lot of stick, "what does he do" and all that sh!te but by god watching Hendo play as a 6 this season you really get to appreciate how much Gini brought to the team. Always willing to sacrifice his own game for the greater good, tactical and positional discipline above all else. Hendo does the opposite. And I've always loved him but he really needs to stop charging ahead of the ball when he's supposed to be the deepest fella of our 3. He's been caught too many times this season and doesn't have the legs to fix it when he is.

Losing the ball in midfield is only a problem when Trent is up top mingling with Nunez and Salah. We could so be a side with a solid back 4, one defensive midfielder, and 5 attackers, forget the whole Trent and Robertson thing, we should be looking for the two attacking midfielders to provide, not the full backs.. which again, is what City do. We need to be adaptable, to have more than one string to our bow.

Two points dropped by City.

Pretty much guarantees we won’t beat Brentford and take advantage of it.

I don’t think we’re competing with them this season anyway unless something really crazy happens.

Yep, it an absolute now that we lose
