Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

An unnecessary VAR stoppage in the Everton game that a five year old could prevent.

Goal stands 1-1

Definitely wrong decision on Mingolet and then having to rely on karius for a CL final but I still feel Pepe would've been a better choice to hold onto till we found a proper No 1. IE Becker

There were plenty of keepers far better than Mig when we moved on from Reina - we just didn’t buy them. That was the mistake. Sure, Reina - even declining as he was - was still better than Mignolet, but it wasn’t an either/or, there was no shortage of great keepers out there if we’d gone for them and spent the cash, as we eventually did. Even aside from his waning abilities, Reina kind of made his bed with his Barca push.

IIRC that clip of Thiago & Nunez, he was translating the instructions for Nunez. I'm fairly certain that was mentioned at the time.

West Ham rotated a bit Thursday night too. One player that was missing was Bowen though, through illness. Supposedly has a late fitness test and him missing would be a big boost for Liverpool. He's a dangerous player to have to keep an eye on.

WH set pieces are going to be critical for us today,JWP is in lethal form and some big targets to hit ,VVD+Konate could be very busy, still think we'll be too good for them but it won't be easy,2-1ill go for

No Trent.

Diaz Nunez Salah up front

And that is why you should never believe rumours....

The midfield feels light for playing an opponent that will hit on the break. Hopefully we score an early goal to settle things down.

Konate on the bench again, I'd have liked to see him start. Matip is very shakey so far this year...

That was some save by Al. What a keeper

Antonio now. 2 great chances missed by the hammers. We're hopeless at the back.

Penalty!

That was all down to Nunez. Unselfish power run to create the penalty, and put through the net by Mo.

That's great play from Nunez again and a stonewall pen.

Alison is the best keeper in the world. It's unbelievable how good he actually is.

That pen certainly tested the groundsmans net tying skills, never seen one hit so hard

Thought VVD could have gotten that on target.

West Ham doubling and tripling up on Diaz.

Dunno what jones was doing there, when McAllister laid ball off to him, Jones just stood there, and WH took it

I think Szoboszlai is trying to take the head off someone in the wall with the free kicks.

Bowen causing us no end of hassle.

That was pathetic defending from Van Dijk

He should be stepping towards the ball and taking Bowens head off his shoulders with his clearance.

Great play but Jones offside.

Good save on Nunez
