Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

MacAllister had a great game IMO.

one thing I thought was important was that he really covered for Szlobozai from around 60-70 mins when szoboszlai couldn't run anymore and MacAllister pressed high up the pitch but also got back into position again and was putting his foot in tackling. Had a sneaky hand on Doku at one point and just pulled away at the right time to avoid the free kick and booking.

And have their bare buttocks thrashed with nettles as well.

It's amazing how some people can be so myopic, absolutely steadfastly ignoring anything that goes against their pre-selected point of view, but glomming on instantly to whatever supports it.

It's really hard to comprehend the money we're dealing with against City, their bench yesterday was as weak as I've ever seen it (they made 0 subs in 98 minutes) and yet it still cost more than ours (one of the best bench lineups we've ever had).

On the disallowed goal, Akanji is trying to pin/pull down Ali's left arm with his own right hand the entire time. From the moment the corner is taken to the moment it reaches Alisson he's got a grip on his arm, don't think it's nearly as controversial a call as some would have you believe

I presume you're referring to the post above yours which I can't see.

I was never into blocking accounts but there's 2-3 misery junkies on the thread I blocked about 6 months ago.

To say it improved the experience of scrolling through posts would be an understatement.

Reading thier constant spew of shite and negativity was depressing. I can't begin to imagine what living inside their heads would be like.

In a title race in December.

Progress.

I'd love to know what Gvaridol did to Guardiola, although with Doku playing so well im not surprised.

Spurs back being Spurs 😄

There was always going to be games where you miss Kane

Mad to think Utd only 4 points behind us now and them apparently having a horrendous season

The result against Chelsea looked good at the time,in hindsight it looks like points dropped.

It was expected for us, throwing a midfield together and seeing how it worked. Chelsea on the day had twice as many passes, and 68% , possession. We scored from our only shot on target, thankfully.

Hopefully we can get plenty of points of the bottom half teams, like they did. No more Lutons please!

,,,🙈

So you, can't? Can't give an example and can't spell ....

A bit harsh? He only asked a question

Can you give an example of the team give quicker update, simple question???

Correct me if I am wrong but was VVD's cruciate injury he got in the Everton game released on the Sunday evening? As in the extent of how bad it was?

Just found this now,announced on the Sunday when the match was played on the Saturday

..

While not completely absolving Allision, as you pointed out, a lot of the delays were because of what was happening in front of him. Lets be honest, we were extremely poor in midfield, especially Jones and Szobo. Hopefully the latter in particular can get back at it, his last few performances have been very flat from him...We just did not play well on Saturday, but we have also often played miles better against City and come away with nothing, so we will take that point, forget about that game and move on!

I really hope this injury to Ali is not serious, we are moving into somewhat group of winnable fixtures but they become less winnable without him between the posts!

Nunez has apparently cost £77m to date after new appearance milestone met.

One hidden thing from the result on Saturday is that the Liverpool players can start to believe that they can go match Man City for the rest of the season. The belief can be instilled in the squad from their actions, they don't have to feel inferior and second best to Man City. It might not be true and many outside the group will laugh at the idea, but the belief and confidence within the players can be worth extra that 1% when it comes to putting a winning run together. Klopp will be doing his own work with them, but seeing the results on the pitch will be some learned experience of it.

If players are settling for a top 4 place, then you end up in a situation where some might be content with draws in some games etc but now there is some pressure applied on themselves, good pressure, and they have to go searching for the winner. They can believe that they can match Man City, and why not beat them to the title too. They don't need to feel inferior and that finished 2nd or 3rd is inevitable.

Arsenal never had that belief last season, Man City knew this and they bullied them in the 2 head to heads. Man City know that Liverpool are coming back again. Pep knows it too, especially with the way he pulled Rodri, Ederson, Haaland etc out of the international break to be fresh for the game.
