Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

So many great goals and moments like outmuscling Stones against Man city in the 4-1.

The title winning season though he was absolutely vital. I'll never forget last minute goals at Selhurst Park.

The goal I'll always remember him for though was the winner against Wolves away in January 2020 - that was the moment I allowed myself to believe the title was ours.

Have we got another Coutinho?

I didn't realise!

I always block out their two late consolations...

Regarding midfield options in the summer...

Is Rice nailed on to Chelsea, or would be be a decent option as well or instead of Jude?

Different players obviously, and there would be an England premium, but he'd tick some boxes - young, home grown, can play in different positions, can play ball, and with only a year on his contract, there might be a deal to be done.

Newcastle have won once this year. Think we can forget about them as a top 4 challenger. We're fighting spurs for that spot. Think we'll get it.

Rafa in studio for City Newcastle game, he just said '' I bought a top striker at Liverpool, wife wasn't happy , I had to sell him 6 months later'' I dunno who he's speaking off

Keane?

Keane left cos Rafa acted the boll1x with him.

Goal for Wolves

Win our two games in hand and we'd leapfrog spurs on goal difference.

Just saying

They shouldn’t, but we can only look to where 4th currently is and we’re right in the fight for it.

I suspect 4th can be gotten with a relatively low points total this year with Chelsea being nowhere. Mid 60s might be enough.

Realistically if we get top 4 this year, I'd put it up there Klopps best achievements considering the dross that's been served up

Nah our 2021 run to get top 4 was better imo. We had just lost 6 games in a row at home so was worse than anything we have done this season and we needed to win 10 games in a row to guarantee ourselves top 4 and we did it including an injury time winner against West Brom from our keeper, and that was all done without our first choice centre backs. (I know it turned out we actually only needed 9 of the 10 wins we got but we didnt know that at the time and still got the 10 out of 10)

I was just going to post something on this. We need to get a win tomorrow and next weekend. Our run of games after the international break is horrible! Away to City, then away to Chelsea, Arsenal at Anfield and then away to Leeds!

I'm not hopeful about tomorrow at all either TBH. We have been drawn into to many false dawn's about Liverpools return to form this season and I feel this is another. Yes the results the last 4 games have been good but the performances are still not there. We really need to show up tomorrow as UTD will be well up for this!

If it's between spurs and us for 4th we are well capable of it and can go on a run. Win tomorrow would be the catalyst to the rest of the season. 4 wins out of 5 would be the best form in the league.

I'd go with 5 in midfield tomorrow, with Nunez up front on his own

______Alisson________

Trent_Konate_VVD_Robertson

_Henderson___Bajcetic

Salah____Firmino___Jota

________Nunez________

I've said it before but Hendo and Fab don't have 90 minutes in them any more so I'd get them to play 45minutes each. Play Eliott and Bajectic and play high-energy. Make sure Cassemiiro has someone up his arse every time he receives the ball. I'd do similar up front and maybe play Bobby and Gakpo for 45 minutes each - Jota has looked rusty since coming back from injury.

I think I'll watch most of this match through my fingers but at a rocking Anfield, I still think we can win today. Man Utd are not that fcuking good - they are just better than us right now.

The way results have gone this weekend, 3pts would be absolutely massive. The fact that we could simultaneously torpedo any Man Utd title talk would be very satisfying .

Not a fair comparison. United had no-one in midfield so had to sign a 31 year old for 70m and pay him 400K per week. He is also only in his first season and if there is a drop-off in his level they will have a very expensive player on their books who is not worth much.

We should probably have gotten rid of Bobby earlier for some cash, but we can let him go this summer as we have Salah, Nunez, Diaz, Gakpo and Jota. You can only have a go at us for not letting him go last summer for some cash, not for anything else really. I doubt many were saying we needed to sell him for cash though.

And Bobby's goals in the first half of the season will probably wind up being more valuable than any fee we would have got.

That's not including any contribution he makes from here on out.

God I hope we win today if for no other reason than to stop this weird "United are amazing, we can't compare, aren't they just so wonderful" talk that's plagued this place the past couple weeks.

That midfield frightens me

Hendo had to start to at least try and help Trent with Rashford.

However, also terrified of Fabinho and Elliott against United's midfield.

Edit: Looking at the bench, short of playing Milner or Bobby deep, weren't alot of options. Jones and Carvalho aren't really options there for me in this situation.

That midfield will be completely overrun. Will be watching from behind the couch.
