Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Fantastic effort from Elliot

Gets closer than Mo

So unlucky, Harvey.

How did that not go in? Hit the bar then post and out.

On Nunez, I'm in the same boat. I would have defended him all through the season that his time was coming. But we are here now, he's not good enough and I wouldn't miss him if he was sold on.

Gakpo must have eaten his Weetabix this morning.

Atalanta are really well drilled for far. They’ll be hard to break down

With Nunez you you can see he puts himself in great positions regularly and that he's a complete nuisance to play against. He offers a lot to the team.

Like he has 31 goal contributions in 45 games this season which is actually decent but it's the misses everyone focuses on which is understandable. But if he scored 50% of those big chances he's missed he'd be flying past Salah as our main threat.

Are we just expecting him to be as good as Salah or what is he being benchmarked against? He doesn't play the same role as Halaand or Watkins in that he's not tasked with staying around the box, he's not like normal wide men either but rather a mixture of a load of different players.

Christ

Oh lord

Dived over the ball.

Think that’s Kelleher’s first mistake since Allison’s injury. Should save that. Wasn’t even a good strike.

Jones in a daze out there

Struggling

Atalanta are exploiting the space in our midfield really well. Think Jones might be taken off at HT for Salah and put Elliot back in there or straight swap for Szoboszlai.

Himself and Tsimikas look to be gassed.

Maybe understandable but can't see them lasting much longer

Atalanta seem to be crossing it along the ground to a player in the box everytime.

Where is the marking.

Also shocking all round for the goal but Kelleher is to blame in the end, it crawled into him.

Great save to redeem himself there though.

Cant pass the ball at all.

Ah lads the defending is shocking. They should have scored that.

We’ve got worse since the goal. Giving away chances for fun.

Kelleher makes up for it.

Had it up to here with Konate's passing tonight, not to mention Tsimikas

This is brutal. Absolutely brutal.

LIstening on the radio but liverpool sound all over the place

Maybe a few starts coming a bit soon for a few lads who might've needed a couple more 20-minute appearances first. Can understand taking the risk though.

Hard to pick out someone that played well that half.

Reminds me of the F1 race where Nigel Mansell simply ran out of petrol in the final straight. This team looks totally gassed, similar to the "quad-season" a couple of years ago, but it's happened a bit sooner. If Nunez could finish his dinner it would be a help, though...
