Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

United are away in 3 of the next 4,

Brighton Still chasing Europe of some sort

WH who need a win badly lost again tonight to City

Wolves H

Bournemouth A , Who are safe and carefree

We play again, at home in 3 days. So many home games of late

Need Brighton to get a result tomorrow, they're good at home getting a result in 11 of their 15 at home, scoring 31, Newcastle have scored 32 at home

And as for Newcaste, they have no one safe or content to play, all fighting like dogs for something

They face

Arsenal at home

Leeds away

Brighton at home

Leicester at home

Chelsea away, who will want to end it well at home in front of their fans

The only way we fail to get 4th is if we blink,and fail to win next 4, as no way in hell is United and Newcastle winning all their games

I just can't see either dropping 10 points the gap is too big to make up.

Tough game Saturday, Brentford score goals they won't need to be asked 10 times to punish a sloppy defence.

I thought Trent and Jones in the midfield role worked well tonight, it took pressure of Fab and Hendo for most of the game. Still leaves a gap at the back though when a fast counter happens. It’s something which can be worked on though.

Nunez is miles off the pace, but I also thought Mo wasted a lot of possession with poor touches, sloppy/ bad passes throughout also.

Got away with it though, will always take the 3pts! Hope they can go unbeaten for the last 4 now. As other have said, no way Utd or Newcastle will!

One of the few positives of this disastrous season has been Gakpo

Nunez was poor through out, losing ball, falling over a lot, but one fall won the penalty, so can't argue with that.

He won the penalty because every time he was past the halfway line they wrapped 2/3 defenders around him, which gave Mo all the space down the left, whatever about people on here (wrongly) thinking he's useless, the opposition clearly think he's something to worry about.

Gakpo coming good so quickly is fantastic as well, considering he was written off after a half here.

Jordan Henderson should get fined every time he hoofballls a shot into the 9th row.

Great atmosphere in anfield even if there was a fair rake of empty seats, team has won every game I've been at, who do I talk to about making my presence mandatory?

Lads, any chance we can stop quoting the whingebag? Even second hand it's exhausting 😅

Not a stellar performance, but did enough. And for all the complaints around Nunez, he still causes problems, and literally won us the game. The pricetag is a major burden on him though. If him and Gakpo's values were swapped I'd feel better about it!

Trent immense again, and Curtis quietly doing very well. Fab is looking much much better in possession too, has got some of his passing and awareness back. Still shaky off the ball, but at least it's something.

Wishful thinking Toby. In reality, Man Utd need 3 only wins from their 6 remaining fixtures to guarantee they finish above Liverpool.

West Ham have managed 2 shots on target in each of their last 3 games. They'll hardly be killing themselves in the next couple of fixtures given that the Europa Conference Semi Final is also in the same time frame. A win against Leeds or Leicester will see them safe for this season.

Brighton rested Caicedo, Mac Allister and Mitoma for the game against Wolves. Despite that they carved Wolves apart at will. There's no reason to expect Man Utd not to do the same.

Bournemouth got hopped off of by West Ham only two weeks ago they also showed nothing against Brighton. There should be no expectation for them to beat Man Utd.

Man Utd vs Frank Lampard's Chelsea at Old Trafford is likely to be a cricket score.

You have to look in a mirror and say his name five times!

Clutching at straws, Leeds and Leicester badly need the points and might put up a fight.

Sensible head on, I think we finish 5th or 6th (Brighton could still finish strong).

Sounds like Liverpool tried to convince Milner to stay on for another year again, but he was far too deep into talks with Brighton at that stage and looks like he will end up there. Lallana is said to have played a part in brining him in. Lallana was known to be a key dressing room figure during his time at the club, and is still best friends with Henderson.

Just spit-balling here but if Henderson never got that new contract in 2021, his contract would be expiring this summer. Given his performances this season, and the fact Brighton wanted Milner, I wonder would they have tried to nab Henderson instead? Or would he feel he has more years at the bigger club yet. I think he does have something to offer, moving into the 'Milner role'. But it would be interesting to see what type of club would move for Hendo, at 33. Supposedly it was PSG & Atletico Madrid who were interested 2 years ago.

Milner off to Brighton

Kinda weird milner is going at this stage I would have thought he could have went into some sort of player/couch role next season with us. Not sure it's a good sign that he's going but it's good to free up wages etc and hopefully get in some good young midfielders

Could be MacAllister and Ugarte plus another

I'm not sure myself.

The guy who mentioned Ugarte was one of the first to break the Nunez news 🤷

It's rumour season so names are going to be flying around.Hopefully some nice surprises ...

I really hope we don't sign Gallagher. A decent but nothing special player. We need two top quality midfielders to compete again.

That Mac Allister lad is alright actually. 😁

...

Win Saturday, and gap is 1pt . Up to us now.

I also think WH beat United

I’m starting to hope for 4th. I know I shouldn’t, and I know it’ll end badly. But I can’t help it. Klopp has conditioned me to be this way.

If we can somehow take all 12 points, I think either Newcastle or ManU will slip and open the door.

Given the season we've had, 12 points is easier said than done.

It's a lock, 100% nailed on, a completely guarantee, you can bet your Harry Maguire on it 😁

It be nice to take it to the last day, who knows but it's too late. We have to rue these ridiculous points we dropped throughout the season
