Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Yeah, I'd take the risk as well.

Could get a reasonable team

Joe? Quansah ???? Tsimikas

Clark Endo McConnell

Danns Nunez? ????

Really hoping for some Mo news. Even a late cameo off the bench for the City game seems less likely now.

Sobo understandably looked rusty/rigid when he came on. I wonder whether the medical team thinks he needs more minutes or needs to be managed.

Completely agree but maybe 20/30 mins in the legs of Nunez/Szobo might not do them any harm,Szobo looks very rusty and has hardly no football played since Christmas. Suppose the medical team will have the final decision as to whether they need those minutes in their legs

Mac has to get a rest imo. I'd rather throw Endo in there.

Hadn't thought about the Sat to Thurs break mentioned above.

Shame City have such a dead rubber at home to Copenhagen.

11 games left and leading by a point?? Focus on the league for now, pull in case of emergency in the EL secind leg at Anfield

Think you’re overdoing the caution to be honest. Yeah, they’re still favourites of course, but it’s hardly laughable to suggest being within touching distance this close to the end…

If we draw/lose on Thursday we can make up for it in the second leg. If we draw/lose in the league there's no way to ever get those points back.

At the moment City are the favorites, playing well, full XI, kind CL draw and traditionally the time of year they put the foot down.

There are 3 possible scenarios for next Sunday.

1. We win, and put a 4 point gap in place. I think that would move the odds to 50:50. I wouldn't make Liverpool favorites in that scenario, but if Arsenal then beat City I think we would be.
2. Draw game on Sunday, Liverpool stay one point ahead Honestly I think this is quite likely as neither team wants to lose. Odds stay the same, maybe shorten a little.
3. City win, and go 2 points clear. This would be a big blow and take it out of our hands. If this does happen, I can see them beating Arsenal as well. However, even in this scenario, I wouldn't rule us out completely - we'd need a team to do us a massive favor and go perfect ourselves.

City have been the great rival of the Klopp era, and they've won more, both in terms of trophies and head to head games, including at Anfield.

However one final tilt at them (in the league anyway), at Anfield, in Klopps final season.........

If we draw with City, it hands the advantage to Arsenal. Who then have to play City also.

Have to go for the win, really. It would be a massive psychological boost/blow.

As a standalone match I'd ordinarily agree that I'd take a draw but, in the context of the league itself, I think the difference between a win and draw is so massive that I wouldn't. If we draw I don't think we can win the league, if we win we're in with a chance. So no thanks to the draw, death or glory!

A patched together side running on fumes with a game every 3 days has been coughing up chances.

Hopefully with some of the more senior players returning to the starting line up, and the Anfield factor, we will see some magic.

we have NEVER thrown any league title away under klopp get real . Am dying for him to get that second title considering the injuries we’ve had this year whatever happens the boys done good , whether it will be great we wait and see .

Yep. In the 70s and 80s our best league win had 30 wins, i think a couple of times we got 28 and many of our league wins had 26 wins all in a 42 game season.

We had 30 wins in 2019. That's an insane season.

Football has been destroyed by the state owned clubs. City have turned the PL into formula 1. A procession. Klopp has managed to keep the joy in it but they are relentless.

Well one things for sure, if we draw with City next week, Arsenal will likely go top on goal difference!

Dear Premier League.

Imagine my disgust to discover that the Darwin Núñez goal against Brentford has been nominated for February's goal of the month. I must point out that the sublime chip over the goalie was the incorrect decision by the Uruguayan and has no place in your contest.

Sincerely,

Nigel Bollocks.

Munich talking to Alonso according to Sky (or Sky in Germany)

Embarrassing if Bayern are talking to their rival in title race, I doubt Alonso would do that though.

You clearly don't know how Bayern operate.

Watching Pitalugia in goals for St Pats again tonight…..he won’t be coming back to Liverpool as a ‘keeper!!

Arsenal with 7 wins on the bounce , most in the PL this season, I FEEL we need to do the same now to beat both City and Arsenal off , we have 4 on the run now, but next 3 league games are at home, 3 homes games in a row next, so a chance for 7 in a row. In fact 4 of next 5 league games are at home. A good time to have these .

That was reported 2 weeks ago. There's strong indication that Alonso will be there next year...He was recently speaking about his admiration for Bayern, and how they in particular cultivated him into the manager he's now.

Also, who in the right mind wants to be the manager to come in after Klopp??
