Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Plenty of glory hunters in the United thread then.

Honestly, not sure this a rabbit hole we need to go down, united supporters will be on to comment,it never ends well 😭

They have been making mistakes in recruitment, but I cannot remember a lot of people shouting they should not sign Pogba, or not sign Sancho. Or not sign Alexis Sanchez, but afterwards these signings are used as a stick to beat the club with to showcase how badly they were being run. I mean we had opinions that Ronaldo was the missing piece that will possibly make them title contenders. And last year Casemiro was a revelation that helped turn the club around. Now he is just another symptom of them not signing the right players.

Winning makes a lot of the anger disappear and I am always interested that the green and yellow scarfs aren't that visible when they are doing well. I think fans aren't unhappy with the owners per se, they are unhappy that they have not been winning. Had they been competing for the title you would have had far less noise about their club and how it was being run. Don't forget Rio Ferdinand demanding they give Ole a contract when they beat PSG. It is all about winning.

As other have mentioned there is a huge difference between the 2 owners. Yes the Glazers have taken money from the club, but they have not been doing it at the cost of performance, IMO. Do we really think that the extra £22.5m a year that the Glazers have taken out of the club would have made them title challengers? Would that extra player have made a difference? Blame them for making bad footballing decisions, but Gillet and Hicks made bad financial decisions that crippled the club. That is the big difference.

"Probably" haven't been great...?! I think most.Ubited fans would say there's no 'probably' about it.

We got lucky and/or wise in offloading toxic owners in good time.

The protests are the most vocal when the team isn't winning. Liverpool fans walked out on the team when they were 2nd in the league about the plan to increase prices in 2016. Team went from a winning position to drawing. Made their point and club listened. Pissed off Klopp but its not about the team winning if you are not happy and want to protest.

United seems to schedule their loudest and most disruptive protests for Liverpool matches that affect the Liverpool team more. If they were angry at the owners they would go after the home team, if they were serious about getting the Glazers out at any cost. But they seem the most angry and show that anger not to their own owners but to one opposition team only, Liverpool. Best protest would be to walk out at every match they play at home, to send a message. But like I say it seems to me from the outside the volume of the protests coincide with the downturn n fortunes on the field and for some reason it only happens when Liverpool play. Why not stop the Luton bus as well as the United bus on the 11th November to really send a message?

Typical Utd fan, always living in the past!!! LOL. Your tears are delicious. Nom nom nom. 🤣

That construction company going bust has caused an absolute shambles. The club now asking for supporters to give back tickets for the derby, where possible, as they have sold more tickets than they have seats available.

Whatever about loss of revenue, but this messing about every game for the rest of the year is not good. People have bought tickets, travel etc, but won't be able to go now.

Trying their best to appeal for tickets and showing that they are doing what they can in a bad situation. You might get some people willing to send tickets for a game they can't make back to the club so they club and then send it onto to someone who has a ticket for a seat that is no longer available through no fault of their own.

You'd hope the club would put you at the very top of the queue of the second half of the season if you do return one, there has to be an incentive

I don't want to be an arse about it, but I purposely didn't chose the Anny road seats when picking seats for games this side of Christmas. The risk was there at the time that it wouldn't be completed in time. Obviously not everyone had that option given the numbers involved, which is unfortunate for them.

I'd agree an incentive has to be given for those that do return the tickets. £10 voucher to be used within a month isn't enough. It's basically making you spend money to get your £10.

It’s very disappointing that it won’t be open I’m heading over for the derby this weekend thankfully I’m in a different part.

I’ve seen rumours online now saying a possible major issue with a concrete failure of some sort. Only rumours at this stage but doesn’t sound good.

Kostas was down injured as the final whistle went in the Greece v NL match. Hopefully all ok

Should be soon, the November dates were confirmed on Sept 15

It'll be on the Sunday though

Can't be Sat, EL the Thurs before

Can't be Mon, midweek PL fixtures after

I'd guess 2pm. Doubt it'll be the 4pm TV game as it's City-Spurs and Newcastle-Utd that weekend

Nope same as every other year, just last year had less at this time of the year because of the World Cup

Madness, most of them wont make it back to England until wednesday afternoon/evening an then have to combat jetlag

Someone posted it earlier here, think it's happened I think 16 times since Klopp came, and the next(Spurs?) is something like 4 or 6 times.

All 12.30 KO's of a Saturday are on TNT/BT sports.

Not all, our 12h30 match after the next international break against City on the 25th November is on Sky. It would have been the 17h30 match but due to police advice the match is being played earlier. We cannot play on Sunday as City has a Tuesday CL match and the 15h00 slot is not being shown, so 12h30 again. So we cannot blame BT/TNT for that one...doubt it will make Klopp feel any better about it though.

If the match is on Sky at 12h30 due to the police not allowing it to be played in the evening, I don't see that as a BS reason. The real BS reason then is not showing matches at 15h00 on Saturdays and that is on the FA. The choice I guess was play it at 12h30 on Saturday and have people in the UK watch the game, or play it at 15h00 and have people needing to stream it illegally or go to the match to watch it.

This time it is just bad timing, the other times is just TNT knowing we draw in the crowds more than the other teams so they need to make use of us as much as possible. Doesn't matter what the reasons are though, it is a terrible timeslot for us and we most likely lose that match due to our players being sluggish against a team you absolutely cannot be sluggish against. Our hope is that City's 2 South American players are more important than our 4, which isn't true unfortunately.

Uruguay beat Brazil 2-0 last night. Nunez with a goal and an assist and Alisson was on the bench.

TNT/BT are showing the game, Sky are showing Chelsea/Arsenal at 17:30 on Saturday.

Jones is still suspended, Jota should be back though.

Nunez scored & assisted last night against Brazil, so he is coming in in form. Diaz missed a penalty to win the game for Colombia so he is not.

Diaz & Nunez had finished their games before MacAllister had even kicked off. There were some reports that the PL based players in the Uruguay-Brazil game were going to have a charted plane ready to fly them back to England immediately after the game.

Total brain freeze,forgot Jones was suspended

I agree that all this 12:30pm KO after international breaks seems unfair, the stats speak for themselves since Klopp took over. But I think it is another thing, along with red cards, the Diaz VAR incident, that can foster an Us vs The World mentality in the squad. Similar to what Ferguson and Jose used to do at their peak.
