Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2019/2020

Naby Keita will miss tonight’s UEFA Super Cup clash with Chelsea due to a muscle strain.

The Liverpool midfielder left Tuesday evening’s training session at Besiktas Park early after feeling the issue and is not part of the squad for the game in Istanbul.

The muscle strain occurred around the hip area and Keita will be assessed further by the Reds’ medical team in the coming days.

I wouldn't read much into the opening games. We just need to find a way to win them and build on them. There was an issue at the back Friday alright, Norwich got in behind too much. If we see the same issues at the back 5 games in I'd be a little bit concerned.

Not sure where the scores per half have come from all of a sudden. Screams of someone trying to make an issue out of nothing. Football will always be two halves and the score at the end is all that matters.

The ref is lucky Terry doesn’t play for Chelsea anymore.

Virgin Media One (aka the old TV3) have it on the TV listings at 7.30. So it is free to air despite their 4th rate commentary team

Liverpool: Adrian, Gomez, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Milner, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mane, Salah.

Subs: Lonergan, Kelleher, Wijnaldum, Firmino, Lallana, Shaqiri, Brewster, Origi, Hoever, Alexander-Arnold, Elliott.

Is that Ox on the wing or a 4-4-2? Should be good....

Where is bobby?

Brian just said Firmino was poor at the weekend. I think Brian might of judged that going by the scoresheet rather than actually watching the game.

looking at our bench tonight our squad is quite small.

Ultimately the PSG project hasn't really worked.

On the field it hasn't done what they hoped yet - but on the field is only a means to an end off the field. By all accounts the club's goal is to become a globally dominant cross-platform brand, rather than necessarily just aiming for football success, and that's on its way to happening. Apparently PSG gear/fashion/apparel is actually really popular with kids around Europe, and the PSG brand is just seen as a cool lifestyle thing in and of itself. Which sort of hurts my soul a little bit.

An Irish woman is one of the assistant refs.

She's very good as well.

You would think Joe Cole never played for Liverpool, glad he flopped

That is why I am really surprised they haven't tried to sign Pogba he fits that whole marketing plan.

Whats the craic with subs tonight, is it normal rules, or like the Community Shield where they allowed 6?

Pretty easy to pick out the Irish official.
