Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

At the moment we are on course for 84 points.At the start of the season I think the majority would of been delighted with that,considering some were saying we would finish 6th-8th.

Now if we could get a few back from injury and get a bit of luck who is to say that might not be closer to 90.

14pts from a possible 18pts in Dec. A good Christmas haul, we don't play again until next year, and then another 3 weeks off for next PL fixture.

Salah is available for the Newcastle game. He's heading after that.

..

Why couldn't Bruno be playing for United when we played them.

Feck sake, where was this Utd when we played them?

Anyone else here gradually losing interest in soccer,a few years ago I would watch so much,,I missed the first disallowed goal today, before I would have looked for the replay,I saw the second,sure if shoving someone offside means a goal is disallowed,is it not a penalty ? Is that how teams need to set up for the next game , shove the opposition offside and if they score it will be disallowed,it all stinks.

Never took it off.

ETH 5EVA. Coz 5 is bigger dan 4

Clear top now, even if City won their games in hands, imagine if we actually played well

Perfect result.....slows Villa down and will fuel the Old Trafford delusion for another couple of months

Officiating a joke in the game, 3 legit goals scored and we're hanging on till the 90th min

Quansah was very good again today. He's playing like a guy with years of experience (bar the odd mistake but everyone has some of those a season) and has definitely taken a spot in the squad now going forward.

So it's himself and Konate for the RCB spot and VVD for the LCB spot with Gomez able to fill in for both sides.

If we get a LCB in January that would be great. I've seen a few links to Inacio popping up again but I don't know if that's just happening because he can play LB as well as LCB now that we've no fit LB.

Best friend is getting married tomorrow, also a Liverpool fan. Top of the table for his wedding day, so happy days!

That's funny, what was it? 5 v 1 and you still blew it off the bar🤣.

Endo is a starter for the rest of the year.

Too many losing their **** over his age, cost and profile when we have an extremely tidy player on our hands. An absolute pro.

Funny enough season, at worst we will be one point off 1st half way through the season yet you'd argue we've at times look fairly disjointed. You'd have taken that at the start of the season, yet due to city's wobbles an air of "disappointment" lingers as there's a shot of a title, and you'd imagine city's normal programming resumes next season.

Personally am delighted with it all so far, given its a fairly new team and you can see there's another couple levels to go, we are in rude health.

January's going to have to be precariously navigated with Salah and Endo leaving, if we are luck they'll have early exits in the AFCON and Asian cup, though they'll obviously want to progress.

Highlights for me are VVDs return to form, new lads in midfield going well (touch and go the last month or so) Special mention to Endo, bread and butter footballer but exactly what we need. Quansah and gomez hss really impressed me in his stints at full back. Goals from midfield making a welcome return also.

Lowlights, gotta be Diaz, nothing working for the lad at all, though after his dads kidnapping it's hard to be critical. Nunez, seems to have it all in his locker but just ain't putting it away enough and he's wasted a lot of good/easy chances. VAR decisions that make absolutely zero sense.

Get Jota to full fitness, Macallister back fit and Robertson back and we are in good shape to attack the season going into February.

Your comment made me look it up

You'd imagine Japan are near certs for the quarters, which are 2nd/3rd Feb so he'll miss Arsenal away for sure. The final is the 10th, so he'll likely miss Burnley at home the same day. Hell be back with us for Brentford away on the 17th, but may not be ready to dive straight back in. So he's likely to miss 4 or 5 league games and at least 3 cup games. Annoying

I still can't get my head around the Elliot disallowed goal. Salah was literally pushed into an offside position by the Burnley defender and they use that to rule it out. VAR will be the death of the game if this madness continues.

Crazy we're top of the league right now and haven't really clicked into gear yet. Still think we need a defender who can play a few positions in January.

Reminds me of Lucas

That's a great post, sums up my thoughts exactly.

Liverpool of 2 seasons ago beat that united and arsenal side but it isn't the same side, we are ahead of a schedule here so naturally results will be frustrating. After last season I'm really enjoying this though and it bodes very well for next season.

It'll be interesting to see Thiago in the new look midfield. Always optimistic, comes with the territory, but it feels like a more varied midfield now compared to Hendo and Milner, or Fab and Hendo etc. It might just work out. He can pick a pass.
