Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

And you're judging his ability with the ball at his feet on tiny percentage of instances where he makes a mess out of it but ignoring all the rest.

I've never seen Konate so outmuscled

No, really.

Letting Forest score 3 goals at Anfield would be criminal.

I do love Thiago but he doesn't half put unnecessary (and risky) flair on basic passes at times

Just put Trent back at RB.

Causing all our own problems

Good defending from Trent, no chance that was a foul

FT.

What should be a standard 3pts almost threatened by sloppiness against a really, really poor side.

Not a game for the highlights reel, unless it's to see how not to defend.

Good to get Jota moving again, but the lack of incisive open play is again a worry. Set piece chaos today

As bad a win as you can get.

I'd worry about West Ham now but I'd back consecutive wins to have some positive effect on confidence.

Trent back at RB proper please.

Damien Delaney does understand that the transfer window isn't open ?

Have to check, because 2 or 3 times today, he talks about our issues as if it can be solved immediately and why aren't we doing it.

3pm is our earliest KO time in our remaining 7 fixtures, that means no poxy 12.30 games.

Top four might be still on.

Defending was non existent. Thiago so poor when he came on. Jota, Salah and Trent very good.

Really need to play a back 4 if Trent is in midfield.

That second half was mad. All the Liverpool goals came from set pieces and then the Forest goals came from deflections / set pieces too.

Jota seems to be back in his groove of coming with the goals while not being great in general play. It's some knack to have.

On the Forest second goal, this is not a good look for Hendo. He was poor in general play and I don't think he has a place in the new system.

But you know what, the Milner sub was great. He changed the game coming on. Gone was the scrappy pinball stuff in our box as Forest had throw ins and second balls. Instead the game settled down and Liverpool got on the ball again.

Might have it all wrong but to me it looked like this is close to how we were setting up whenever Trent came into midfield, don't think Jones suits that role too well.

I'm actually fairly relaxed about CL now. Won't be upset if we miss out as we're fairly off the pace anyway. A Europa campaign might be a little breather for the squad next season - would be definitely winnable and the final is in Dublin which would be incredible. Squad rotation for the group stage before going for it in the knock-outs.

It would be fairly disastrous to end up in the Conference League though - is it 7th place ends up in that yoke?

A Spurs win tomorrow helps us. We play them, so need to beat them too

He won't be 12M if they go down though.

Would a draw not be better for us today? Newcastle on 30 games with 56 points and Spurs on 31 games with 53 points and us on same games but 3 points behind. Its mad Spurs are even in 5th considering they season they are having but i think draw suits us best if we've any hope of catching either.

All being told i think top 4 is gone anyway but Europa league might be the best thing for us next season if for no other reason than to get rid of the standard liverpool saturday 12:30 kick off :-)

Honestly, one of my favourite days as a Liverpool fan was a lovely sunny day in April a few years ago. Europa League semi final against Villarreal after losing the first leg.

Landed in Liverpool early in the day and went in the beers in a open air beer garden, drinking with Liverpool fans and Villarreal fans, singing songs, kicking a ball around etc. Swapping scarves, no hassle at all.

Hammered them 3-0 and reached the final. Played brilliantly. Might have been 'only' the Europa League and we didn't win that final but that won't take away the good memories of that whole day experience.

I've been to bigger games, home and away - knockout CL ties, cup finals, games to go top of the table in April etc. But that whole day around the game was very fun and very enjoyable.

If we don't qualify for the CL, of course I'll be annoyed, but I'll take my long weekend break to some Polish or Portugese town in September as a nice consolidation prize.

Yes that right Haaland cost City "50m" and not a penny more😉

We didn't spend 80 million on Nunez and Haaland wasnt available for 50m.

🤣🤣

Hmmmmm
