Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Hopefully not as bad as first feared

Yep,God only knows what that means for tomorrow

Bradley will be back training next week. In fairness he should get all the time he needs

Yeah, as I said, that would be predicated upon him actually having impressed a bit during his few months of doing a bit of work with the coaches and the kids. And while the new manager will bring their staff, it can only be a benefit to have a little crossover between regimes. There usually is. Ljinders was there under Rodgers for instance, and stayed on under Klopp, as did Michael Beale.

Maybe - my original post was in the event that he retired. It could go either way for him... if he's actually out for this season, that'll be the bulk of 18 months to 2 years out, which is something that would cause a lot of people to call it a day.

Half time now, but loive here...

Klopp downplayed the severity of Thiago's injury in his presser anyway, said it's a muscle injury and not cool, but "[Thiago] is not a big injury, definitely not, but it's something nobody needed."

So that's good, after some of the earlier reports saying he was out for the rest of the year, that's a bit of positivity.

Look, the way I look at it at this stage....

He's a crock, we ought not to rely on him doing anything on the pitch this season. However....

Is he a good egg, a positive about the camp? If he is, then keep him involved about the place for the season. What's the harm? He's getting paid either way, he may imbude a few tips and tricks to the younger lads, he might just be a warm body in training, and if he can contribute a few minutes late in a couple of games to save someone else's legs between now and the end of the season, what's the harm?

He was a gamble signing, a bit of a luxury really, but we did need someone like him to unpick the massed defences we were facing back when he was signed. He had some great games and great moments with us, it's just a pity he couldn't sustain it, but I don't think there has been any questions about his attitude or anything throughout his career.

Kinda like a Ferrari or a Lamborghini: high maintenance, a bit unreliable, prone to breaking down, but boy, when he was purring, he's a joy to watch.

That's right.... He won't get an extension I'd say, but what's the harm keeping him involved for the next 6 months and let him contribute if and when he can.... Very much bonus territory of he can.

Sure he will be staying until the end of his contract, premier League is over in May , not looking likely he will be making much of a contribution on the pitch, hopefully he will but time is running out.

If we can’t beat Burnley because we’re missing our best keeper, then we don’t deserve to beat them at all. They really shouldn’t be getting many chances at goal even with Gomez and Ibou missing.

I know you can’t take any games for granted, but I’ll be disappointed if the game is even a contest. Burnley have been woeful all season.

This is who is missing

Allison

Bradley

Matip

Konate

Gomez

Tsimikas

Szobo

Bajectic

Thiago

Salah

I'm assuming Ali and Gomez are out because of the flu? Like not injured.

Interested to see if Mac plays further forward here, hoping he can unleash Nunez/Diaz with his passes through the lines.

Gomez wasn't spotted training on Thursday,no mention of an injury in Klopp's press conference yesterday,so hopefully he had the flu at that stage and hasn't recovered yet

Add Doak and you'd have an XI you'd expect to win this match too!

Anything other than 12 points from the four games before we play city and the leagues gone.

Septic opening 7-8mins

Well done Kelleher

VVD well beaten

Quick pass from Endo, then a lovely first time cross from Robertson there. Always cool to see the ball moved quickly like that.

O'Shea booked

Clown

Dodgy box went just as the game was starting. Very frustrating.
