Liverpool Discussion Thread

Watch out rothko. Que the abuse, swearing, insults, made up accusations and highly offensive language from her...........

Alisson
N Williams
R Williams
Phillips
Robertson
Milner
Wijnaldum
Shaqiri
Keita
Salah
Jota

Which in theory leads to the strongest subs bench in a very long time:

Fabinho
Thiago Alcántara
Mané
Adrián
Oxlade-Chamberlain
Jones
Tsimikas
Origi
Alexander-Arnold

No Bobby though? Dropped, injured or something else?

Ahhh, a minor 'knock'. More tactical in my view.

Can't believe he's dropped so many.  I know they could argue they need a rest (although I've never understood how someone can't play 90 mins of football then again on average of three and a half days later?) but there's only four of the best Eleven playing.  I know three are injured but it still means he's rested four players in such an important game when they need a push.  No wonder they drifted from 1.49 to 1.70 at the off.

Klopp has relied on the 'best 11 available' since Christmas lou. It might not work, but many of our so called stars needed the proverbial kick up the backside.

If it works great, IMVHO Klopp had to try something.

1.78 - 1.79 now; even I am temped by that, even though Fulham have already created a couple of chances.

Old Pushy....

The Forum stalker warning others of the perils.

Could not make it up....



Cue the endless copy n paste drivel.

Groundhog day the match, much changed,similar feel....

Well at least Thiago is not to blame .......

Bad fek up that by Salah for their goal but you'd be hard pushed to say they don't deserve it Fulham. Had nearly all the decent chances in that half and Lookman is running the left hand side. Bad to worse.

Only tactic left. Go out for a walk and when I return......................

least klopp doesnt have to walk,if they lose this 6 games at home without a win must be a sacking job

This is what I've been talking about..

our 7th and 8th choice centre halfs just not good enough

team doesnt look balanced at all

Liverpool first team to have injuries to keep players ....shame they have no backup players......or their own fault for buying rubbish.

On a brighter note. Thank you pushkin; I had forgotten that Souness left Liverpool before Heysel. For sure, Liverpool were the best UK club side I ever saw, with Souness, so '83/'84 must have been the apex.

I had to check when he left, and stumbled on one of the reasons:

https://thesefootballtimes.co/2020/04/02/i-went-there-and-found-it-easy-how-graeme-souness-mastered-calcio-at-sampdoria/

Apparently his wife had inherited so much money, they were advised to flee the UK for tax-reasons! I never knew that.
Souness was a great player - you couldn't replace all he did with any one other player - but was always money obsessed? You guys would have a better idea about that.

i was mystified a month ago, now it's just plain inbelievable, no top side regardless of injuries should be playing so poorly, there are plenty of other first team players out there and the ones coming in have something to prove, this side has no b@lls, no desire and no idea of how to change it

"Strongest subs bench in a very long time " But reluctant to use em, obviously with the Leipzig game in mind.

they'd better win the tournament outright because the way things are going they won't be qualifying next season through the league

got to feel sorry for anyone going for an extra long shoite,they missed l,pools domination of EPL

Are Liverpool winning on % possession?

i think they are miles ahead on excuses

Yeah 60 -40 was about level at halftime

Sorry, above question especially for Angoose.

aha

POOLS GOAL SCORING record at home alone shows klopp is no world beating coach,hit and hope crosses in to box from robertson/trent seems to be the full extent of their tactics/ability

2 goals in 7,8 games at home I think..big big issue.against one possibly 2 top sides.

I mustve missed the plentiful supply of goals from the centre halves over past 3 seasons!!
That carried us to the trophies. That obsession is nuts.

The 2 centre halves today been as good as any, were not scoring goals for goodness sake. Dont even look like scoring goals. At home,again.

Woefully poor,slow,laboured, zero dig,zero courage,what excuses can we make for this? These guys tired? Fans? Confidence?

Totally gutless. A dream to pull on that shirt, at least look like it means something, please.....players out there not turning it in, not giving the best, hiding.

We look absolutely where we are, a mid table team,and have done for 3 months...totally shocking. Pundits, comms dont even know what to say,scared to say what they really think.

From where we were and how we looked it is literally unbelievable, like watching a different group of players.

I'll look forward to the positives on here....

they are (were) a fantastic team, especially going forward, this has been utter pants

full backs were punting balls in the box hoping for a  break of the ball like robertson and trent 50 years ago and at least theynhad the prospect of a big centre forward get a head on it

The worst defending champions off the premier league era.

if this were man utd i'd just laugh and assume it's nothing different to their post fergie norm, but for liverpool it's unreal , sorry

That is one very sour club , yet another bottom 6 team made to look world class ......your players have become a disgrace.

maybe not UTD but seems to be fergie time. 99 mminutes and counting.Has there been many stoppages ?

Liverpool players clearly focussed on Champions League campaign.

Could they even f**k qualification up? It may not be that fanciful:

The 2 centre halves today been as good as any

what game were you watching. their distribution  was aweful
Phillips passed it more to fulham players first half
slow and poindeerous

i get fans supporting klopp he's been immense unti this period, but i saida few weeks ago on this thread, he's changed since xmas and something isn't right with the mentality of this squad

resting players for a game your 2 zip up in doesnt inspire confidence you have aspirations of winning ch lg

one thing Fabinho MUST play centre mid
in the short cameo he won more ball than the rest of the midfield

only saving grace for lpool today might be utd ending the city run

elise do you think the 2 centre backs he bought were really on his xmas wish list ? Perhaps thats why he seems different.

if pool buy a few more centre backs in window
training will be
skins v centre backs 

Didn't see that coming.

no but rob, with respect the team is 11 players not 2, you cannot pin the form of this team on a few injuries, the whole lot look like they couldn't care less

Sheff Utd were level with L'pool on consecutive home games lost, gone into 2nd now, sure they're gutted.

was talking about klopps mentality elise  not the team.

trents been shoite for 10 months

elise, that will not be a saving grace. City are already champions in my book.

you said he had changed since crimbo

at least pushy had decent weather for his walk .

just want to be clear , i am shocked, not enjoying their demise, i would much prefer to see them on city's case going for the title than see what as a football fan amounts to abdication

City p5ssing the league
even got a fully fit squad now

im hoping man utd end the run today, financially at least

Was only a year ago when people were marvelling at liverpools strength and depth when they played youngsters in the cup.

I can’t believe so many adults talk about WE AND US when referring to a football team full of overhyped foreigners who are only bothered about the money . Money has killed the game stone dead and it’s only going to get worse . I would rather read a magazine on knitting than have a life watching the pathetic prem .

Couldn't agree more

except for the knitting

cant see it elise
City far superior to utd

^^Couldn't agree more unfortunately

Just been sent a whatsapp. (Amazing the amount you get when doing bad!) It is some stat if true.

Wigans win today means that Liverpool are now the team with the fewest home points of any team in Englands top four divisions in 2021. Yes, that's 92nd out of 92 for the year.

just hoping the run ends at some point, a derby as good as any chance to see it, giving it a go anyhow

Utd will defend deep and try to hit them on the break

depends on citys approach to committing numbers forward

should i suppose say well done fulham, took advantage good for them

Would be nice to see a manchester derby with at least a few Mancunians on the pitch, Rashford the only likely one I guess.

There's been a change this season. Playing "without the ball" has become much more viable.

So, upcoming, Manchester United will surely try to take all of the football out of the game, play for 0-0 (or 1-0 if they get really lucky) and, unfortunately, for reasons not yet fully evident, have a good chance of pulling it off.

Look at the two crap EPL games so far. Look at the reverse fixture. Manchester United will be gagging to derail City's winning run.

I'm on 0-0 at 14

agree UB

Utd know that they cant compete with City so will try to spoil the game and nick it
Utd are well organised and a physical side

you bunch of mugs sack klopp hes costing me my bets now.

Liverpool fans putting more effort in on here than the 'shower' playing for their team since August and being paid a fortune for it.

Back to the drawing board.

It's gotta be bad when the well known tactic of going for a walk and coming back later fails so miserably.

utter bunch of bottlers

utter bunch of bottlers

its not a question of effort just quality
confidence is a fragile thi8ng in football
I cant remember a worst injury list in all the time I have watched football and thats a long time
I remember Jose coming to anfield and having to play Essien centre half with all their resources -  we beat them easily

The previous 3 seasons have been fantastic and if we have to rebuild then so be it - 100 per cent behind Klopp

Thanks redrob, it's been pretty sunny all day as well.

Trouble is, Rothko, he's not going to want to stay if the board aren't going to back him.

Klopp looks mentally drained sad to see him like that because he's been something different at least

I think he wants a rest

confidence is a fragile thi8ng in football.....pathetic and inaccurate reason ,if multi millionaires cannot motivate themselves you have a big problem.

Indeed rothko. The last three seasons under Klopp have been stupendous. Scenes I feared I would never see again.

Agreed Lat, the purse strings need loosening. A rest for Klopp is needed too.

I think they need to cover the "This is Anfield" sign up. Trick em into thinking they're away.
Don't take offence guys, only a joke.

maybe he will walk Lat
hes had a lot to put up with and has to put his health first

just cant wait for the crowds to get back and its been too long now for me
some of these PL results would be a lot different with crowds

So, the Manc Derby provides the classic spectacle of attack v defence.

United, clearly the inferior team, have a great chance of protecting 0-1 for 90 minutes.

I've spunked my bet on 0-0, had another on 0-1 @16.

have another go

I did. Backed 0-3@65.

Relax, unzip and knock one out, elise.

nice one UB. I have been on the voddies since our latest debacle, so would be unable to do that even if I wanted to. And it's a school nite, albeit I am still WFH. Rumours are we will be allowed back in the office soon though, and the cases made to return before the last lockdown remain valid.

u gave me a right old laugh mind UB, so thanks for that..................................

The small plus point today, and the only one was that when Fabinho came on. He instantly had an effect on things, and dominated for the last 15. Like a rudder on a listing ship. A few small things like that might add to a lot one day in the not too distant.

Spot on loui. Fabinho been sorely missed in mid field. Hopefully he is as influential on Wednesday where he belongs. RB Leipzig not out of this yet.

If we can get past Leipzig, it;s on a bit of a wing and a prayer at the moment, but who knows? Especially if we are lucky enough to avoid Bayern until the cavalry arrives.

nice one Palace. not that it matters any longer with our top 4 chances.

I got nothing to say..... just wanted to be the 10,001st poster on here

well done mecca

I guess that makes me the 10,000 post on here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Infamy, they have all got it infamy...........................

Leipzig were poor in the 1st leg and they might now be concentrating on the league? only a point behind Bayern so they've got that to fight for

won 3-0 away yesterday
not over this

Very poor today I don't see how you can blame that on lack of Center Halves.  I thought it was a mistake to drop half the team when Top 4 was a priority surely.  You still have a chance but it's looking slim now unless they really get their a$$es into gear.

Can understand the drop in quality as they've been so good for two or three years and having  the players out injured but can't understand that much of a drop.

Your last 6 games home games

Same old, same old.

Klopp showing he's not even a man of honour - any decent person have resigned weeks ago and certainly after yesterdays calamity.

Jurgen Klopp - YNWA*

*the WA does not stand for walk alone.

After 5 years of saying virtually the same thing in every post - and despite Klopp delivering the CL and then our Holy Grail of the PL - the United troll has at long last dropped his pretence of being a Liverpool fan.

Small mercies.
