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

Five league fixtures in the month of February and over the same period Arsenal only have 3 games.

Testing times looking at who we'll face.

Hate this mentality that certain fans have the manager are disrespectful in some way trying to protect and rest players . We already lost Gomez and Trent in space of 8 days , let’s get real!

The League is the absolute priority. As nice as that spurs victory was , it’s come at a price that jeopardises our league ambitions without doubt on the flip side. We have to play Everton Villa & City away plus we also have Wolves at home all in 1.5 weeks . Think we could have fielded a full team with 3 games originally planed which themselves is a tough run but with Villa now thrown in away , it does us no favours at all and hope I’m wrong but a real risk of of dropping points or getting injuries as 4 games in 10 days is too much.

Arsenal meanwhile have a long break now and only 2 games against a leaky Leicester team and home to West Ham game they’ll be heavy favs for an easy 6 points. No issue with going out of the cup today or squad picked today if we can pick up 3 points on Wednesday. 

Well we played 63 a couple of years ago, didn't win the league or the champions League and the team fell off a cliff the following year, so yeah, happy not to do that again,

You're responding to shamrock55. You are entering a realm where logic does not apply. Don't do it to yourself!

Diaz continues to offer nothing. I'd have him gone in the summer if there's a half decent offer.

Endo about the only decent performance today.

Not bothered, league is absolutely everything this season

Very honest response from Slot in the post-match press conference.

But Donald smiled

6 points ahead with 14 games for to play ,Liverpool have a game in hand but one injury and the pressure is really on

could be 9 Wednesday which is absolutely crucial

The team put out today should still have been good enough to beat a side bottom of the championship. Problem wasn't the young players really. It was that most of the senior players who did play were woeful.

....but why not put out your strongest possible eleven regardless, even if it's not Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. These are super fit players who ought to be more than capable of playing three full games in seven days.

Have you not being paying attention?

Maybe Slot took the risk in going out of this competition. While we had a mix of first teamers and kids it was the first time all 11 played as a team so understandable that it is disjointed.

Looking ahead from this exact date, on paper we have only 1 more game to play then our nearest rivals for the league run in depending on how both progress in the CL and that 1 game is a cup final.

It's only the start of Feb, loads of time ahead to rest players, would rather have gone strong today, and won it in first half, and then rest players.

To have won the FA Cup 8 times in our entire history is sad. Do we really want City Chelsea and Newcastle to be seen as more successful in this comp

That side today was wishful , but it was based on how we've always come through this season, Slot got blinded by our own success and pushed it too far, it was a lot to ask for that side to have any rhythm

The game ended with Chiesa, Jota, Nunez, Diaz and Elliott on the pitch.

That should've been more than enough, and absolutely the right course of action with the games ahead. Nobody will remember this if the league gets won. Hell, it'll probably be forgotten if we beat Everton on Wednesday.
