Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

They've played poorly in parts but so have every other team. They've also been excellent in parts, and clinical in others.

No what I mean is that we are playing well in parts of games and we are playing poorly in parts of games.

Early in the season we had a bit more energy as everyone was fresh, they are now tiring a little (especially our new midfielders who are getting used to Klopps tactics, his conditioning requirements and the league in general) and levels have dropped off a little. That's why earlier in the season we had larger portions of games where we performed better.

Lads I'd take a 1-0 right now. These games never go how you'd expect and we're not exactly in fantastic form ourselves (despite results and league position).

I don't feel great about Sunday. I never feel great about this fixture as it can just go any way at all.

Tomorrow's City/Palace game is an interesting one though... City's last league game until after Christmas since they're straight off to Saudi for a World Club Cup match on Tuesday and almost certainly the final next weekend. Wonder will that be a little bit of a distraction for them tomorrow sandwiched between these two trips to Serbia and Saudi. Palace are one of those teams that can catch you out if you're not focused. All eyes on almost-transferred Michael Olise (one of my current fave options to replace Mo down the line).

Our home results this season

3-1 v bournemouth

3-0 v aston villa

3-1 v west ham

2-0 v everton

3-0 v forest

3-0 v brentford

4-3 v fulham

Am confident about tomorrow but for reverse jinx purposes it will absolutely be a 0-0 draw that feels like a loss due to our dominance.

Also if our next two games go according to home form we are absolutely in a title race on Christmas day.

We have a habit of going behind in our games, i would'nt be surprised if that happened tomorrow, but an early goal FOR US really is key.

Oh my!

The Etihad emptying before the final whistle sums them up.

Some result.

Seems to be a lot of cockiness coming from some as well,between carraghers jumper and some muppets on twitter,I don't like it to be honest. Do they not remember Danny Murphy and we winning at their place with inferior teams

Carragher and that fecking jumper is going to come back to haunt us this time tomorrow....even at their worst under Ole, I've never seen the fan base and pundits to be as blase about an Liverpool UTD game before! Fecking anything can happen in this game....

After Dropping points to Luton and looking very shaky against plenty of lesser lights, I don’t think there are really any games we can say should be won comfortably. Won, yeah, but it’s always a game.

We’re far from flying against anyone of late, so I’d be very happy with any version of 3 points tomorrow.

Why didn't Carragher just say that he was celebrating last season's result instead of saying he was confident for tomorrow!!

Just seen that City result, wow!

Nunez is fairly nailed on to start - for 3 spots we have Diaz, Mo, Nunez and Gakpo... and Gakpo played the full 90 minutes midweek (particularly badly), with Nunez just coming on for 25. Will almost certainly be Diaz, Nunez, and Mo.

Yeah thats all sky sports have become now is a place looking for social media clicks and bantz. Like how could you take Micah Richards seriously,when is the last time he done some serious analysis on any game. Sky definitely made Carragher wear that jumper

3 important home games in the next week or so, good they are home.

United and West Ham will both sit in and look to counter attack, they have to because they can't come and attack us, and we'll need to be patient and finish the chances when they come - need calm Darwin tomorrow is for sure.

It'll all culminate in a big heavyweight game against Arsenal. Of we can go into that game with the 6 points, I'd trust well squeeze Arsenal and they will fold under the pressure, Mikels head will explode under the pressure.

As I've said all through December, a simple 1-0 {or maybe a 2-0 to leave a relaxed finish) with no injuries is perfect tomorrow.

He can be a bit of a dose alright.

Will take a scrappy 98th minute winner tomorrow,United are going to sit in as mentioned before they won't come and go toe to toe,surprised I can still spell on beer last 2 days and tomorrow too come still 😀

I would much prefer the same front 3 as the 7-0, Darwin - Gakpo - Salah. Then we would have the pace of Diaz in reserve. But I don’t think that’s going to happen.

United will presumably have Mainoo and Amrabat in front of the back 4, so it’s going to be hard for Darwin to find space in the centre.

I hope we play Endo. We’ll be more open on the counter if we don’t. Big game coming from Szobo I hope/believe!

why would a multi billion pound company long before the Internet be worried about social media likes and clicks ?

That's it though. Sky have enormous costs and tonnes of competition from pirates. They need to convince people to biy their product, whether its sign up for a contract or the ine day deal with Now tv. They are always selling.

Social media is a revenue stream and sky have the rights to a high value product. They'd be idiots not to be pushing for clicks.

It's in their DNA. They were never a refined respectable media organisation of record. They've always been brazen sellers, that's why they're a multi billion pound company.

That age group have been priced out of it, at EPL level certainly.

Increased prices, and the FA/EPL dont really want hordes of young men gathering together in the stadia, less trouble with older more affluent people.

Many young uns just consume bites of football, sitting and concentrating for 2 hours plus is alien to them. It's a big reason why lads like Pogba became so desirable, click click click.

I was away on holiday recently, and front and centre in the stalls where the hookie jerseys were being sold was Inter Miami. Lots of kids wearing it too with Messi on the back - I wouldn't know where to watch a MLS game, even if u wanted to. I wonder if the Saudi shirts will catch on too, doesn't seem to be happening yet but probably a matter of time if Ronnie can make a few headlines.
