Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

And now Diaz, this is getting ridiculous.

Gakpo hanging on the shoulder, waiting for someone to get a ball into him or over him, but it never comes

Diaz is doing well to keep showing up - but Christ, nothing is working for him. That first touch should really be forcing him in front of the defender

Infuriating… the midfield doing pretty well, giving plenty of good quick ball into the forwards - who just can’t get anything going.

Genuinely what is this tactic for Kelleher to keep lumping it up to a target man that doesn't exist?

brain dead up front... no composure....no pace either... Luton marking man for man in patches.. needs to be more movement up front.... I dont like Grav and Gakpo in the same team... just not dynamic enough

Maybe Robertson at half time for Gomez and just have him bomb into the box in the second half? Other than that maybe Adrian out on the RW because there's not much left.

Well that was a very disappointing first half. Everyone has actually been pretty good to be fair apart from the front 3 who have been abysmal. We could/should easily have 3 or 4 goals but they have been so poor we have 0. Long way back in the second half. We can do it of course but it's looking very very tough now with what we have available on the bench.

There's zero movement in front of him

Luton man marking us and no one up front showing for it half the time..

Was always going to be tough night with the options available but twice as tough now, have to be doing better when the chances come need an early goal as longer it stays 1.0 more frustrated everybody will become,

All of the midfielders are playing grand, doing their jobs - they keep winning the ball back quickly, and slipping it through but christ all of the front 3 are really struggling. Gakpo started well, but has drifted out of the game since. Diaz is at least showing for things (unlike his poor patch earlier in the season) but he can't get anything right. Elliott is doing alright around the fringes, but keeps being too slow (in both speed and thought) in the decisive moments.

It feels like we're gonna need one of the midfielders to overlap and do the forwards job for them.

12 shots to 5 but nothing to show for it. Stick Mac up front and put Robbo on the left

Ha, the yellows being shared around the backroom staff? Klopp; "John, tell the ref he's a wanker".

Doesn't look like words were had at half time, Elliott with the same shots still

By my account we've only three of our first choice 11 out there tonight assuming Nunez, Jota and Mo are the starting front three (and have been the form attackers), four if you count Diaz. Tough ask in fairness.

Bradley the most mature out there, actually makes the next pass. Diaz should score

Never a pen

Yeah, like it's too early for crazy panicky stuff. If we just stop doing daft wasteful things we'll get better chances like the one Bradley made.

Diaz and Elliot look like frightened children every time they ball the ball in front of goal.

I wish we had 3 more Bradleys

Yeah. Just skip moving Bradley into midfield and get him into the front 3 altogether!

Playing everywhere by the looks of it.
