Liverpool FC Premier League Champions 25/26 - Talk /Gossip/Rumours

A few comments/snap judgements based on the last week or so:

Our most important player in many ways last season was Gravenberch:he was amazing,especially given where he came from the year before. We missed him immensely in the last few games. That means we need 2 things: Grav back, and a Plan B. Grav can't play 70 games this season or whatever it is, so we do need a back up strategy.

We need a defender more than Isak. Isak is very much a nice to have, another CB is essential. Ibou was poor yesterday, I don't think his impending transfer will effect him over the season, but even more than Grav he needs rotation, he struggles with the game every 3 day schedule. If it's Guehi, then go for it, but that's more important IMHO than bolstering an already strong attack with Isak. If Chiesa does what he did last night, he'll take pressure off the others and allow more rotation.

Finally, great see Joe Gomez healthy and back on the field!

Totally agree with you on everything you said except the very strong attack,our starting attackers are very strong but look at our bench last night, only Chiesa had any experience. Whether we get Isak or not i would say we could do with another 2 forwards,now that probably won't happen

We really need a defender and an attacking player (doesn't have to be Isak). But we're completely stretched in both if we even get 1 injury per position.

We only have space for 2 midfielders in this system, so I'd say Grav, MaC and Dom will see plenty of rotation between the 3 off them.

I'd love to see Guehi and another forward in before the end of the window. I can't see it happening somehow unless both Palace and Newcastle, if it's to be Isak, drastically change their stance..

Carragher has been terrible for ages, how they let him commentate Liverpool games is ridiculous, same with Neville for Utd games.

Ekitike Had a Torres finish about him I thought and a few lovely touches, him and Isak will be some force together.

Delighted for Chiesa also and I think he'll stay until January because the AFCON is on.

Good win to start the season, I think Slot will have them tightened up a bit for Newcastle away and another week for Alexis fitness along with Gravenberch back should make a huge difference.

Wirtz looks a class act, seems to be a level above but I suppose that's what 115m should get you.

And a shout out for Szoboslai who was excellent except for the flick for their 1st goal.

I think we're fine on the wings with Gakpo, Salah, Chiesa, Wirtz, and Frimpong all able to play them, it's what happens at CF when Ekitike goes off that would worry me.

I'm sure he'd be strong enough to not let one individual's action rule over his life, or prevent him from achieving what he wants to in his career.

Certainly he was strong enough to shrug it off and turn in a proper performance for his team, and fair play to him.

Endo came on to shore up right back position. Vanished into thin air for their first, surely his job was to stay back, stay in line with Konate, and don't leave that space. He did the opposite.

TBH...I've no idea if that's him or someone claiming to be etc, not up on all that twitter lark. Only edited it in to the original message as it happened to pop up when I was switching app, but it's exactly what you would hope a person's reaction would be.

Certainly he done everything right last night, for himself and for his team. Probably thought he was just getting the usual fan/throw-in player treatment (he was having a laugh with a couple lads a few minutes before on the far side in the same situation), but something was obviously said to him (not to mention thrown at him by some reports) by some scumbag in the second. Followed the procedure, reported it to the ref, ref took action, informed everyone concerned, cops came along and removed him - they probably even had it confirmed by supporters close-by right there and then. Legalities take over then if there was an offence, and the club will act on that accordingly.

For the lad himself, he was especially impressive in his reaction with all of this and should be applauded for his positive actions. On another positive note, hopefully a fan more deserving of a regular spot in the ground will now have a ticket going forward.

I’ve secured Liverpool tickets for a game later in the season. Am I best off flying to Manchester airport and get the train? It has alot better times than Liverpool airport for that weekend.

Game is scheduled for Saturday at 3 so I’m planning on going Friday with the kids and come back Sunday night.

Any hotel recommendations?

Thanks for your help.

What I could do is book a late on Sunday night flight. Any hotel recommendations?

Games are on Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Monday

Beware before committing to flights

But we already had Gravenberch signed at that point

Who's the backup going to be? We have to sign someone. Who's better than Isak that's available?
