Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2020/2021

Things are looking bad for Liverpool.

The front three are stale.

TAA is stale.

Henderson is back to his average self.

And Klopp has no excuses.

They need to hammer Burnley this Thursday.

Absolutely embarrassing stuff. Pathetic knee-jerk nonsense. **** me, this thread these days.

Yup. This season may not live up to our expectations but its far from a disaster if it doesn't. Its a mad covid stricken, compressed season where the club literally has had a lot of its income removed, a lot of its best players removed yet many expect the show to just keep rolling on as normal. Reading this place recently, I'm glad I don't get bogged down by a footy team having a poor spell.

We're still the reigning champions, this fact brings a massive smile to my face every single day, even after a sh!te result, I'll live off that for as long as it lasts. And we'll absolutely be back sooner than later.

It's not that he's afraid, it's that he just cant

I heard the interview and thought he was just taking the pressure off the boys a tad.

I'd hope he reckons it's still within us to be in the mix for the title....... we're only a point off City, fair enough they've a game in hand but I'd expect us to pull a decent run together tbh.

Yesterday's first 11 on paper is far better than how they played....... top class LB, reasonable CB partnership (accepting it's makeshift) ........ decent RB and the midfield and front 3s are largely big names. The bench was not great admittedly.

We should be able to beat most PL teams once the front 3 get scoring again..... and they will no doubt.

This is essentially the problem. On paper the 11 players we field should still be beating West Brom, Newcastle, Fulham, Brighton and getting a result against Southampton which is making it very frustrating.

I said it before that the CB excuse is becoming a get out of jail card for the other players not performing to how we know they can. If players like Mane and Salah want to be considered for the Ballon D'or they have to be producing week in week out like Messi and Ronaldo.

Burnley game for me is massive I was getting worried about our form until Sunday. Even though it was a draw I though the performance was top class . I do think anything but a win at Burnley puts us under massive pressure especially with spurs next. Really think we need the win to get the momentum going. Next few weeks is all about staying in touch. Going to be a tight one this year

He just sounds like he's dying behind the microphone. Peter Drury now that's a voice that excites you and adds to the game.

A few sources now reporting that Bayern are going to be pushing hard for Upamecano in the summer as Alaba's replacement. Would love to see Liverpool swoop in on him before a bidding war comes. Him and VVD would be unbelievable.

I've always been happy to jump on the "Liverpool are winning the league" bandwagon early on in the past few seasons, but I really can't see it here.

I think City are going to walk it. 15-20 points ahead of us by the end, I'd say. There's been a 19? point swing in their favour the last 10 games, since we played them (albeit there were some games in hand in there). In that time we've only won 4.
I don't think this team has 8-10 wins in a row in it. I didn't think any team would have that sort of form in them at the start of the year, but City look like they do. Utd kinda have as well, but unlike City, they look well capable of going on a run of 1 win in 10 as well. They'll regress to the mean.

We'll get top 4. Maybe 2nd or 3rd. And we'll have another go next year, which will hopefully be less of a pile of absolute scutter, and all going well on the rehab front, I see us right up there with 95+ points again.

You never know with the cup competitions, but we're certainly still in with a shout for the FA cup and the CL. Just need to click on the night or get lucky a few times, or have the right players back for the right sequence of games.

Man City starting with us at Anfield.

Have a very tough run in. We win the next 3 games we have a chance
