Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Oh my god

Never do it the easy way

Klopp pulled a hamstring

Oh he wears the number 20…

That collapse was totally worth it just to break Richarlison's heart

He got right in the 4th officials face. Bizarre.

Two defensively shambolic clubs. Hope this woeful defending is sorted out for next season.

Never ever a dull moment with this shower

How fcuking funny was that ?

Just a shame it'll more than likely have little bearing on the big picture

Klopp will be getting a ban of course. 24hr Sky coverage will see to that.

Gary Neville, the arbiter of all things, has decreed as such.

The cameraman following Klopp must literally be hunched down on his knees, running round him in little circles - must look insane.

Terrible second half performance. But then Jota sends Anfield bouncing!

Perhaps may have been sent off but so should Skipp have been and one doesn't happen if the other does. Tierney......so bad.

The players haven't lost the fight just yet....

And to single out one player for praise - Curtis Jones. Quietly playing some very good stuff lately and an important cog in the midfield. Thought we lost some impetus when he went off and Hendo came on.

Nunez was ineffective when he came on. Klopp has shown that he is 5th choice attacker in the team right now.

Next season is massive for him. Hopefully he finds his stride.

In fairness to him, the game had changed at that stage, with Spurs having all the momentum. As a forward, it's so much harder to impact things when your team is on the back foot. He still made some important pressures and did some of the necessary dirty work.

Paul Tierney is like '' please tell me there is an offside, please tell me there is an offside,please tell me there is an offside,''

..

I said it here when he was coming on but Richarlison coming on, scoring and still losing was nailed on. **** hilarious.

The lack of a midfield signing last year was very perplexing.

The club was heavily linked with a move for Denis Zakaria before the January 2022 transfer window. Nothing happened and afterwards Liverpool opted not to offer him a contract to when he was leaving Borussia Monchengladbach on a free transfer. He signed for Juventus and Liverpool were reported to have enquired about taking him on loan before getting Arthur Melo instead. Zakaria spoke about this after he signed for Chelsea on loan for the season.

After Tchouameni decided to join Madrid, there were reports of Gravenberch being seen as the cheaper alternative for Liverpool. No offer was made and he joined Bayern for €18M. He was linked with a move to Liverpool again in January and now he's a supposed player that Klopp wants to sign in the summer.

Liverpool low balled River Plate with an offer for Enzo Fernandez and Benfica were quite happy to step in with an offer that was structured to meet the €45M valuation of the player. After seeing him perform at the World Cup, Liverpool were willing to offer €70M for the player.

There were plenty of media reports about efforts to convince Gavi to join Liverpool before he signed a new contract with Barcelona.

In early August, Matheus Nunes (24) stalled on signing for Wolves for almost two weeks because he was waiting on Liverpool to submit their offer to Sporting. A couple of months into the season there were stories that we'd be signing him from Wolves for £50M.

Also in August, Brighton rejected a £42M offer for Moises Caicedo who they had placed a £60M value on at the time. In January they refused a £70M offer from Arsenal.

In late August there was an enquiry about Leandro Paredes from PSG, there was no follow up and he joined Juventus on loan replacing Melo.

There's no doubt that the club were looking at midfield players, there just didn't seem to have been any real commitment to signing one. Sofyan Amrabat's agent said something similar regarding Liverpool's interest in his client. They got the impression that Liverpool were stringing them along and weren't really that interested in signing the player.

Mason is a bit deluded with his view of that performance. I hope Spurs keep him. He's perfect for them.

Ask Sadio Mané

Oh if Carlsberg did run in’s 😷😷

Okay Man U lose away to WH, and draw at home to Chelsea, switch those results

Not sold on Trent as inverted wing back, to be honest lads.

The lad himself is playing really well on the ball, but the back 3 / rest of the back 4 are struggling and Jones & Elliot / Hendo push so far wide that they're wingers and struggle to influence the game, and Salah spends too much time coming short to the right wing back position to make an angle for Konate. I also think Fabinho's regressed with it because he can just take a simple pass to Trent rather than trying anything himself. Trent also occasionally seems to get caught as to whether he's supposed to stay in midfield and press when we turn the ball over, or whether he's supposed to drop back into the right back slot.

If we want Trent in midfield, put him in midfield and put Gomez at right back.
