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

Its a funny season, walk the league but that squad is going to be pulled apart over the next 2 summers.

PSG were just better, I can't fault the effort of any player last night. The game totally showed up how reliant our attack is on salah and Mendes did a great job at neutralising his threat.

yep, this happens every year people have short memories. He always has a drop off around the time of Ramadan or the Afcon cup

Yep 100%. Given that we likely need to replace multiple attackers, along with other positions, getting one of his calibre on a free helps a lot

Free is free, but I don't think Jonathan David is the answer… whenever I see him he always seems a little, I dunno, lumbering or something. Like, he's quick on the sprint when he gets goin, but his footwork and close control always just look a bit slow and awkward to me. Decent enough goal return, but in a pretty poor quality league.

If we let a bunch of forwards go he's a decent bench option for depth - if he'd (doubtfully) take a reasonable wage - but I can't see him as the answer up front.

What's funny is until Ronaldo came along the majority of Ballon d'Or winners were not UCL winners that year.

Ollie Watkins in prime position now for Balon D'Or 😉

Honestly not that p1ssed off about last night…and I won't be devastated if Newcastle beat us on Sunday ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Winning the League will be a monumental achievement for Slot and this squad...far beyond what any of us could have expected this year

I think the decision to play almost the first 11 at home against Southampton on Saturday was a big part of last night. PSG rested basically their entire starting 11 at the weekend and they just had more energy as seen in the extra time.

I used to say it was harder to get out of klopps first 11 then it was to get on it but slott seems even more wedded to 13 players and rarely rotates. Maybe that's a sign that he doesn't trust the rest of the squad but it kinda feels like a self fulfilling prophecy at this stage.

Some of the front line players should have been rested against Southampton, I would have stated Endo, Elliot, quansa for starters and rested Konate/Grav/Salah. We could have still lost against psg but I don't get what slott did there and especially considering it will no doubt be the same team again against Newcastle on Sunday. It reminds me of Arteta playing saka for 90 minutes every game it was only a matter of time before he broke down.

I know this is all wise after the event but I hope we learn from this, you can't win on multiple fronts with the same 11 or so players playing against every minute of every game. Did Slott really not rate anyone outside of starting 11 to do any sort of job against bottom of the league side at home? It's nuts.

Fair play Curtis...

It's a cliche, but I don't think you can ever blame someone for stepping up in a shootout and having their shot saved (and I say that accepting that both Nunez and Jones hit pretty poor pens)

Southampton came looking for a weaker team on Saturday and probably would have beaten the team that played Plymouth.

Free isn't free, free transfers tend to cost a lot of money.

Mo would never get a penalty for that Mbappe challenge

tbh I think the CL is a pretty flawed format this year, especially the fact that teams like Villa and Dortmund are able to get into the quarter finals

Curtis has only taken one penalty before in a uefa youth league game against Napoli. Still can’t understand why Slot didn’t just give it to Gakpo for number 3. Or even Van Dijk. I guess the issue was we took off MacAllister, Jota and Diaz who would have all taken a penalty before Curtis/Nunez. Even Trent might have scored his but got injured.

No chance of Diaz taking one id say. Hates them (and bad at them).

Madrid are massive cheats wow
