Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2019/2020

Wonder if Moreno will actually end up at Barcelona after all those rumours? Stranger things have happened in football.

FSG looking into expanding the Anfield road end taking capacity past 60,000 for the stadium.

No one can deny how talented Danny was, but his head and body just weren't as driven. Pity, he was unplayable in that almost season.

He strikes me as someone who never fought to try get in the team consistently. Look at Origi who honestly is less gifted than him technically but when thrown in has worked his tail off & taken his chances with minutes. I think Sturridge knew Firmino was first choice & just expecting to be put in the team rather than giving Klopp a headache. Not sure if his legs went or if he lost confidence in running with speed & maintaining his fitness but he's nearly 30 & plays like a 34 years old.

Moreno I was so excited about after that goal vs Spurs but was a useless defender & I wouldn't have missed him had he left 3 years ago.

Won't happen until the training ground is all finished and completed

I don’t know 500k people on the streets of Liverpool might give them food for thought to go ahead and start it soon.

Don’t think a player has frustrated/annoyed me more than Sturridge with his lack of effort and playing for himself over the team. As said a great 18 months as a side kick to Suarez but didn’t really have the mentality to replace him once he moved on .

Interesting to see where he ends up next, does he still think he can contribute to one of the bigger teams, does he have it in him for a relegation battle with a newly promoted team, football/rap career in the MLS? You’d have to wonder if there’s even much interest as there’s normally links and stories in the final few months of the season.

Mad Albert gone eh? Won;t miss him

His finest moments





Daniel Sturridge had a great 18 months.

Moreno was a bombscare of a defender but he was hard to dislike. Always seemed to be a popular member of the squad with everyone else.

He should get picked by a decent club back in Spain.

Back to Sevilla I would guess, he loves the club...

I don't he's top six material at all at all.

Loved the club so much he was having the craic with them in the warm up to a european cup final. I don't doubt he's a nice lad but he didn't seem to have much going on between the ears.

Maybe I'm expecting too much but in a game like that you should be sticking to your team.

What to say about Moreno? I always think of his fantastic goal against Spurs as being on his debut, but it was actually his second game, unfortunately his debut featured a sight far more common in his Liverpool career:



And I'll never forget him getting away with a blatant penalty and then making sure it's given with a shove in the back right after in that crazy 5-4 game vs Norwich:



He did have a couple (I can literally only think of two) good moments for us though, the aforementioned Spurs goal and this unbelievable tackle against his future teammate Sadio:



Sturridge is a little more complicated, far better player obviously, 13/14 is pretty unforgettable, I just feel like we'd been expecting this departure for two or three years now and while I wouldn't say his past couple years have soured his time at the club I do think everybody's just ready to move on. I don't know how many "Sturridge is back" moments we've had since 2015 only for him to get injured again. It's disappointing, go back to the threads from the summer of 2014 and you'll see myself and many others more than happy with the idea of him taking the reigns from Suarez, it just never came to fruition.

He almost won us the Europa League in 2016 but the lad just above him made sure that wasn't gonna happen:



And he'll always have this contribution to Number 6, along with one of the Premier League goals of the season:



Ultimately my feelings on their departures are those of indifference, having them leave doesn't really change anything, does it? At least they both go out as European Royalty.

One of the most bizarre things to happen at this club is still Moreno being fit for the entirety of 16/17 but only starting two games because James Milner, a lad who had never played left back in his professional career, took his spot.
