Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Certain teams everton manu Newcastle deliberately try to injure ud if yhry are losing .

He's not as good defensively as Endo but he makes us a much stronger threat in those transition situations.

Mo should of given Jota a tap in

If we can get him into his best position he'll be a serious operator for us. Has been very good playing out of position but he has so much more to give.

Some pass from gravenberch to Salah for the last attack

Salah leaves as top goal scorer and top assists in PL

Come back soon ya hear

And…..relax

Definitely our best performance of the season in the league. Bang at it from minute 1, no tippy tappy crap, high tempo, created loads of chances. Very unlucky not to score twice in the first half with the very marginal offside and missed peno. And 4 in the second. Well done men

Klopps dropped his wedding ring

He was excellent. A word too for Joe Gomez, probably the most consistent performer over the Xmas period, all while playing out of position. He gives us a solidity there, and allows for Jones and Trent to attack more gwe may have tripped onto our best formation by accident.

Joe and Jones very good.

I won't go on about Nunez again.

Gravenberch had one nice ball to Salah but his cameos have generally infuriated me. He just saunters around making bad passes and not getting stuck in.

City away to Newcastle next, a Newcastle side due a result, I think odds are on them not losing...........again

Arsenal away in the FA Cup next weekend. I think we’ll have a very changed team out for that one with the Fulham semi-final next midweek. Salah and Endo gone now. Szobo went off holding his hammy so doubt he’ll be risked.

If you believe in xG....

Liverpool 7.27 Newcastle 0.59.!

Yep

Plus it's a Saturday 5.30 TV game under the lights. Not an easy place to go under those conditions

Eddie Howe thinks Longstaff should have had a clear peno. Madness. What was he looking at?

Here is a tweet showing this and how much we dominated,

Endo is gonna be a big loss for the next 8 games. He has really be the main man in that midfield in the last month or so. He's so combative, gives everything and now that he is settled, he knows when to press high and when to drop. Knows when to take a smart foul/card too. Luckily MacAlister is back but after an injury there is worry about sharpness, fitness etc.

Don't need to talk about how much of a loss Salah is.

Jones was great tonight. He slowed it down at the right time but also played it quickly at the right time too. Tonight, he did that Gini arse turn on the ball brilliantly IMO. Pressing was very good also. He's sometimes the main main in the press.

Hopefully Gomez can stay fit now as he is playing very well, certainly in a defensive POV. Diaz returning to his old form is helping to provide threat down that wing which masks Gomez not providing the width. Which is fine for Gomez as tbf he's a right footed CB playing LB.

Overall great attacking performance. You don't rack up 7.53 xg for nothing! Starting the year off nicely - Liverpool, top of the league.

If we were to finish this season with our only loss being that game against Spurs...

It definitely worked. Diaz had more space when receiving the ball and had his best game in months. It was great to see.

Don't think the chances nunez had were misses, more good saves. Some of his touches were brutal though, falling over the ball. He's still contributing though, klopp will give him every chance to improve his finishing.

Crazy game should of had at least another 4 maybe 5 goals on top of what was scored,was szoboszlai rubbing his hamstring when going off was in pub watching it but couldn't hear the commentary with some noisy clowns,another 3 on the board and on to the fa cup this weekend
