Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Szob not quite settling into it yet... Lots of almost good things, just slightly over hit. Hopefully things click for him as the game settles down.

Sobo and Salah's passing is awful so far.

Nunez and Salah would want to get their acts together.

I'd add Diaz to that list too

I'd hook Nunez at half-time.

Don't trust him being on a yellow and Gakpo's guile might be the better fit for this.

Occasion is getting to us

Surprised Utd aren't targeting him, he's so easy to wind up.

The right side of the team (Trent, Szobo and Mo) have been so sloppy in possession.

Can someone please take a shot on Onana.

He looks ready to make a howler.

Is "Futuremakers" the new "seeing is believing" or something else?

It's one half of one game.

At least wait until the 90 are up and then we can all give out.

Only 2 mins for all the time wasting from United lol

Oliver easily fooled by the useless Amrabat.

That half is as bad as any football you'll see anywhere.

Harsh on Endo, his foot can't have been that high, it just seems that way because Amrabat was stooping.

Disjointed isn't the word for it.

When is Jota back?

The quality of the play has killed the crowd and all.

This follows a pattern this season really, subdued first half and hopefully a better second.

Elliot and Cody will be in soon I'd imagine.

Missing Jota and especially Joel, Ibra is better than Jo in defence but Joe is possibly better carrying the ball forward, United aren't even tackling Ibra when he has it.

No need to worry lads.

Gakpo for Nunez please.

Agree with all the above

We haven't been a good watch for a while but dear me United have brought this game down to a level of sh*te that I didn't think was possible

And it might work for them if we don't wake up

Expecting a big half time from Klopp and an even bigger second half from us

Tsimikas and Endo playing well. Never ever a yellow for Endo there. Konate needs to improve his heading in their box. Needs a moment of magic from someone.

You can only play as well as the other team allows you to, to some degree. If the other team time wastes and puts 10 players behind the ball you have to work hard. That is maybe why the atmosphere has been bad, United is not here to play for the moment. They are doing what most teams do at Anfield, keep it tight and hope for something on the break in the last 20 minutes.

They have offered nothing on attack, because they have not been looking to attack. They are keeping it tight at the back and playing deep. Not the best match maybe for Nunez as there is little space to run into. Add in we are so much better than them as well and you can see it, but that does not guarantee a win. Will need to be patient, maybe some changes at half-time to bring on Gakpo, even though I really like Nunez. But this may not be the match for him.

Endo has looked good, team seem to trust him more to give him possession in tight positions as well. That yellow was scandalous, was not a high boot and did not make a lot of contact, but that is how it goes.
