Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Fiiiinally back scoring from play… big step in the right direction at least.

Subs are showing why they started on the bench.

Nice to get back to winning ways again, and e comfortable at the end.

Has to be said that Klopp got it spot on with his selections on the team dropping the big names.

Fair play to the team.

Saved a few players minutes in the legs as well.

Everton are fairly safe imo but they'd be up for this regardless.

We go there with a bit of confidence

Everton's win today and Luton's loss yesterday probably makes Everton safe now too, so the survival-pressure is slightly off them for Wednesday.

Everton will set up to frustrate Liverpool midweek, they’d love nothing more, they might be fairly safe from relegation now but that won’t change their mindset for that game.

Good result today, some decent goals and moments, far from back to our best but it’s perhaps a sign of a corner somewhat turned.

United. The answer will always be United.

They'll get a fine though for saying it how it is. The refs will be allowed continue to **** up indefinitely though.

Man City and what they represent, both through state ownership and cheating, are an existential threat to football - so that trumps regular footballing rivalries for me.

Also, maybe if Utd win they'll hang onto ETH.

Forest made the mistake of accusing the VAR of being a cheat rather than simply totally incompetent. That will totally deflect from the mistakes. They’ll get the biggest fine ever handed out for ref moaning.

Trent changes everything.

The threat of his passing of all lengths, from all angles, brings uncertainty to the opposition that doesn't come otherwise.

Also, that crossfield pass is also so effective for destabilising defences.

He's Nunez but with goals then.

I actually think he's the exact opposite to Nunez.

Nunez causes chaos for opposition teams and does have a lot of assists he's just not a reliable goal scorer for the chances he gets (and he often creates for himself). Jota is more of a old school goal poacher he can have no effect on a game and then score out of nothing.

Jota is different to our other forwards, they'll try to dribble the ball around players, jota picks up the ball and just runs at or through defenders, it's definitely a part of why he gets injured some much. He likes the physical side of the game.

he’s a weird one though - sometimes he has that direct aggressive running style, but other times he’ll go weeks without taking anyone on, and just kinda play these safe ineffective passes around outside box. He’s always a decent finisher but he can have long spells where he doesn’t do anything else.

There was a moment yesterday, can't remember if it was 2-1 or 3-1, where Gomez received the ball centrally about 25 yards out...and he didn't shoot!

Corner turned...

Jones lacks courage in showing for the ball, I've been really impressed with Endo in that regard, albeit he had a couple or forgettable showings recently.

When we don't press, as has been the case, we're very average. We're easily got at, we end up neither pressing or sitting back.

Ornstein saying that West Ham are trying for Amorin, and a Liverpool move looks unlikely.

Who will Liverpool actually go for?

UI'm not too optimistic about our near future. Without Alonso, I can't see any manager that can stay long term and continue our success. The glory days are coming to an end. Of course, I hope I'm wrong.

Honestly don't know where they go if, as reported, Amorim is unlikely. Seems like the most exciting name we've been linked to but there isn't one sure/safe bet out there unlike Klopp last time around. Since Alonso decided to stay, Amorim's been the name I've been most energised by. Inzaghi apparently doesn't speak English - he'd be exciting also. We'll just have to get used to being linked/unlinked with managers I suppose until it's done.
