Liverpool FC Premier League Champions 24/25 - Talk /Gossip/Rumours

Based on previous seasons. Arsenal fans would be the same. City in the last 6/7 or so years have been a machine so it's hard to break the expectations of habit.

I though Diaz was outstanding again.

Gravenberch is just a revelation. He needs to be offered a new improved long term deal.

I think LFC have been slow to reward, and secure, younger players in the past. I think I remember Trent having to wait for an improved deal when he broke through. It’s slack if true.

I’ve seen enough of Kerkez now to hope we sign him in the summer. What a player and what an athlete.

Seemingly the guy standing beside him today, Huijsen, has a very low release clause in his contract. Only 19, looks quality and has a left foot.

Could sort out the left side of the defence for the next 10 years for £50-60 million. Sounds like Huijsen has many suitors though.

they had a good / clever level of aggression disrupting and harrying. We let them play through us very easily. 15 fouls to 9 and we still end up with 3 yellows to their 2 - our disruptive fouls are so infrequent we seem to get pinged on them for a yellow straight away.

It was like watching nightmare on elm street Trent trying to defend. On any other day that costs us.

If we win 11 and lose 4 out of 15 we have 89 points plus a draw or two getting to 90.

Arsenal need to win 14/15 to get 89

If city win 15 in a row they get to 86 so really we are our own biggest threat.

Our last 10 away we have taken 24 points v Arsenals 16 - City 12.

We were lucky yesterday,soft penalty, they hit the crossbar and post,,I was worried about it before the start,, now go again, it's a bad time to be playing Everton so hopefully we can knock them off their stride also.

Moyes has them playing football which is a positive for us. They should have the confidence to come forward and try to score goals instead of having a wall of bodies deep in their own half.

Hoping city and Arsenal draw today.

Just to kill city completely.

Think all we need is 8 more wins and a few draws. Arsenal need to be flawless almost.

83 points or so wins the league I think

Cook's left leg kicks into Gakpo's left leg which causes the trip.

Gakpo didn't "just trip himself" and it's not like he was trying to buy a penalty or looking to go down under any slight contact, he wouldn't have even known where Cook was.

I don't think it's all that soft. It's a combination of clumsy and unfortunate for Bournemouth but there's no injustice being done.

Nothing soft about that penalty yesterday.
Gakpo was tripped.

That's a stonewall penalty.

I don't recall Moyes having Everton park the bus against us at Goodison. In the last game he managed them against us was in Rodgers first season, we went 2-0 up after 20 minutes and then they threw everything at us. The score was 2-2 at half time. Rodgers hooked Sahin and Suso and went defensive by bringing on an extra defender. In the second half we just soaked up the pressure and tried to play on the break.

Didn't realise City and Arsenal both still have to host Bournemouth this season, they both lost on their trips to the Vitality. So far we're the only team this season to take all 6 points from them.

The correct term for the pen is ‘lucky’ rather than ‘soft’. Absolutely stonewall pen, but a complete accident and the defender was a tad unlucky.

We were also lucky to keep a clean sheet, but Mo (who certainly didnt have his best game) made Bournemouth pay for their misses with an exquisite finish. Type of thing that often happens to us!

I’d also like to think that if Bournemouth had scored, we’d have upped it, as that has happened plenty of times this season. A better performance would have been ideal, but result is what really matters. Hopefully we can have both v Everton.

Grav being the best midfielder in the league (so far) is mind blowing!

Arsenal win today, which is the most likely outcome, keeps them right in it.

Btw great ball from Robertson for the penalty too, he's played a few like this recently. He had a really good relationship with Mane on that wing, it'd be great to see more between him and Gakpo.

Did'nt see the game yesterday, watched the highlights on youtube, according to that, it was a smash and grab.

How was the game overall?

In relation to the game today, i'd be ok with a draw, i know the maths suggest a win for city is the best result for us but years of seeing city hunt down leads has ingrained a cautious approach with hoping they win.

They both have to play Forest away too, I think? Glad we’re finished with Forest & Man Utd.
