Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Hopefully the end of the Bellingham circus. Once madrid or city were in for him hard to understand anyone who thought there was a chance he’d end up at Liverpool. He’d just have to have a look at this season for a swift no thanks. Trying to do his own work plus that of shot henderson and fabinho hardly appealing.

Was recruitment of salah, mane, Allison etc who were known to be good players but not superstars that built a winning team. It’s that type of profile needed now although a lot easier said than done. Recruitment didn’t miss for a long time. That level of success is not sustainable as arguably seen with recent signings.

Fabhino dropping between VVD and Konate with TAA and Tsimi coming narrow at the base of midfield?

They could have kept Odegaard and saved themselves 120 mill!

Nunez seems to have lost his child mascot.

McDermotX · 03-05-2023 8:11pm

Decent effort from Trent

FernandoTorres · 03-05-2023 8:13pm

So good to have Diaz back. It's the little moments but he just makes things happen.

Riesen_Meal · 03-05-2023 8:13pm

Not sure how he missed that to be honest...

McDermotX · 03-05-2023 8:16pm

Bloody hell

Centre just opened at the back

Good save needed

Riesen_Meal · 03-05-2023 8:17pm

Fulham well able to get in at the back alright...

passatman86 · 03-05-2023 8:21pm

Good to see the lads willing to run lately - makes a difference

Osmosis Jones · 03-05-2023 8:25pm

Nunez halfway into the shot decides to pass instead, forever caught in two minds

McDermotX · 03-05-2023 8:27pm

Good defending from Konate

McDermotX · 03-05-2023 8:39pm

Pen

Good stuff. Nunez won that shall we say, but idiotic from Diop

Emphatic finish from Mo

Osmosis Jones · 03-05-2023 8:43pm

not sure how much contact there was but only because Nunez jumps out of the way, Diop's leg was wild

TitianGerm · 03-05-2023 8:44pm

Ah it's definitely a penalty.

Was actually reading yesterday that Nunez is really struggling to pick up English and was having lots of difficulty communicating with the other players and Klopp.

I wonder if his English teacher the guy that used to post here years ago 🤔

Could be why he's not been playing as much recently now that we've lads back from injury.

facehugger99 · 03-05-2023 8:47pm

TAA and Salah have been fantastic once again.

Some good defending from Konate and is Fab slowly regaining some form?

Fitz* · 03-05-2023 8:48pm

Yeah you can really see that Nunez is playing with no confidence. That example of the volley sitting up nicely, he would usually have shot there without thinking. And if he misses, he misses, I don't mind as it is worth taking it on.

For that penalty incident, he done really badly losing the ball, and too easily. But then he remembers what he is being told to do. Get up and work and press and it kicks in. He presses and wins a penalty. Results in Liverpool going 1-0.

Trent playing great and I think Fabinho & Jones are having good games too.

ShamoBuc · 03-05-2023 8:50pm

Nunez did well to win the pen and finished well by Salah.

Only 1 -0 but we have looked sharp in places - Fab seems to have a bit of energy in his legs and played his best 45 in quite a while.

Trent bossing it when in possession.

rob316 · 03-05-2023 8:50pm

Trent is loving this role he's everywhere. Reminds me a bit of when Gerrard played right of midfield, had that free role between midfield and attack.

Really impressed with Jones again, just passing and moving not take the extra touch he always did.

Jesus that's the best excuse I've heard yet,he can't play football because he can't speak English

McDermotX · 03-05-2023 8:52pm

HT

Started well and had a few moments of intensity, but very much lacking in goalmouth action. Fulham had a couple moments themselves needing Alisson to step up.

Diaz getting involved sporadically, Trent popping up here and there. Jones in or around things as well. Itsssssssss okayyyyyyyy, but need to be smarter around the final third. Need a lot more from Nunez. Done well with the pen, profiting on sloppy defending, but overall play has been extremely lacking.

Feels like a game where we can step up if required, but I'd rather we avoid letting Fulham in with a chance, because we will switch off.

Osmosis Jones · 03-05-2023 8:53pm

I love watching Trent play this role, there's obviously flaws to it and a lot of that is the personnel needed to cover RB aren't really in the squad but as an isolated performance he's just been brilliant.

eigrod · 03-05-2023 8:55pm

PenaltyPool are back and it’s great :D

GiftofGab · 03-05-2023 8:55pm

Trent having a great game. This new role gets him on the ball a lot more.

Salah looking sharp and dangerous too.

Kostas pressing not up to it this game.

Nice to see Fab win some tackles again.

noodler · 03-05-2023 8:57pm

I've really enjoyed our performance but wish Jota was playing.

That being said, Nunez did have to be applying the pressure in order to force the mistake. I'd be furious if that was given against us given Nunez was already falling but I'll take it.

Fulham are plenty dangerous.

Ottoman_1000 · 03-05-2023 9:09pm

This is the best we have moved the ball and controlled the pace of play by a mile all season....now watch us fall apart from here on in!! 🙈🙈🙈

McDermotX · 03-05-2023 9:15pm

Again. Well won in by Jones, but the final third play is lacking.

McDermotX · 03-05-2023 9:26pm

Nunez fooling himself in the box

Great ball from Trent

eigrod · 03-05-2023 9:29pm

The key pass in the final third has been off.

Ikozma · 03-05-2023 9:32pm

Why Bobby isn't getting game time in this team I just don't know,I'd have him on all day long instead of gakpo nunez or jota

FernandoTorres · 03-05-2023 9:33pm

Nunez having a poor game. Very hard to see how he'll make it in that central role on the evidence to date.

ratracer · 03-05-2023 9:33pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120552086#Comment_120552086

Think he’s out injured??

Though he’s still be better than Nunez!! 🙄

giveitholly · 03-05-2023 9:35pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120552086#Comment_120552086

He is injured and well past his best

McDermotX · 03-05-2023 9:35pm

Great stuff from Alisson

We are so easy to get at

Ottoman_1000 · 03-05-2023 9:35pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120552086#Comment_120552086

Good man, you were absolutely slating Bobby as been done and finished not so long ago!

Tommysocks11 · 03-05-2023 9:36pm

Nunez looks like a person who won a competition to play a game for Liverpool, hard to see how he will ever become formidable for us, he's too clumsy and zero ball control, think we were sold a pup

eigrod · 03-05-2023 9:39pm

Fabinho’s been much better tonight

McDermotX · 03-05-2023 9:42pm

One to forget Darwin, even with the assist.

Jota, Milner and Elliot on for Mo and Jones as well

Ikozma · 03-05-2023 9:45pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120552110#Comment_120552110

He's past his best no doubt but I'd still have him on the field instead of nunez or gakpo

Ikozma · 03-05-2023 9:46pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120552145#Comment_120552145

You meen one MORE to forget

Utopia Parkway · 03-05-2023 9:47pm

Even though our form has improved a lot we are still coughing up some ridiculous chances.

McDermotX · 03-05-2023 9:48pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120552173#Comment_120552173

True, but he has a free pass for this season all things being equal. I do have some concerns like most I'd say.

eigrod · 03-05-2023 9:48pm

Comfortable second half up until last 5 minutes

Ottoman_1000 · 03-05-2023 9:52pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120552166#Comment_120552166

Gakpo has been very impressive lately so I definitely wouldn't have him on ahead of him...

patsy sally · 03-05-2023 9:53pm

Win is a win on to the next gane

BorneTobyWilde · 03-05-2023 9:53pm

5 wins on the bounce, over to you United and Newcastle, we're on the hunt

eigrod · 03-05-2023 9:54pm

Was happy with that up until 85th minute. Subs had no impact, except for Elliott who did well.

noodler · 03-05-2023 9:56pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120552004#Comment_120552004

I was about to say, five wins in a row but I was most satisfied with the control in this one (not that we still didn't cough up a chance or two).

Such a shame it's all probably come too late.

brevity · 03-05-2023 9:58pm

Thought Fulham played well for the most part. Surprised to hear they had lost most of their most recent games although I don't watch a lot of them to be fair.

Liverpool were kinda sloppy. Really bad decisions in the final third and some of the positional play was awful.

On to the next one I suppose...
