Liverpool thread 2020/21

Good Morning Norway!

How are you feeling this Morning?

VVD will have a pre season to get fit would be bonkers to throw him back in this season. Certainly would need bring back slowly. But at 30 no guarantees he will come back as strong

they also need to face the prospect of his return being blighted by the little niggles that nearly always happen after so long out.

At this point Klopp has only himself to blame. By the 70th minute, I was still seeing his team press like dogs, when around this time most other teams are beginning to wind-down their presses to manage the game and fitness. He can say it's bad luck, or that the wind was too strong, but he is showing barely any game management or plan to combat the fixture congestion.

With very little first team rotation for the last three seasons I'm amazed it took so long for this style of football to start taking it's toll in terms of injury's and fatigue. I'm also surprised it took so long for other teams to learn how to nullify these tactics. In some ways Pep and Klopp used similar tactics. This was to start games very fast with high intensity to try and blow teams away in the first thirty minutes, then relax. Both teams are also not dissimilar in that they have both suffered burn out in their third season after two high intensity seasons. Pep obviously then went away and rethought his tactics. We now play in a different way which isn't as high intensity or risky. As a result we are harder to beat but probably not as free flowing at times but I'm happy with that. Klopp will find this harder to do with Liverpool as they don't have as many technically gifted players as we do. It will be interesting to see where Liverpool go from here.

Continuously Downwards, hopefully

What a fkin shambles the dippers are..

Defending *PL Champions have 'Caved In' once again..!

(3-0 up at lowly Palace and arrogantly thought they could score 10 to reduce the GD on City - funny as fuck, still makes me laugh now)..

Bingo has one style of play and hasn't got a fkin clue when it doesn't work ..

Kick and rush, get around the opposition's box and dive like fuck..

The cheating Egyptian fucker should have been booked and sent off yesterday, in fact I don't recall him ever being booked once since he's been at the dippers for diving and you can 100% guarantee he'll dive every game..

This needs addressing with immediate effect, especially when that biased knob Spit is now calling him out live on air..

Sad to say but they look like they're in the shit big time to me..

Dick van Dyke - coming back off a bad injury and 30 years old..

Wijnaldum - off on a free in the summer..

Egyptian diver - dippers look like they'll be cashing in on him..

Firmino
Origi
Shaquiri
Williams
Thiago
Henderson
Milner
The centre half from Shalke
The centre half from Preston
The fullback from Greece

All of the above are either pushing 30 and over or are basically just not good enough for a team aiming to challenge for top honours..

The dippers are dropping like a stone in the table and there is a real possibility that they won't make top 4..

To keep the dippers relevant going forward, their owners FSG are now going to have to invest some serious money into the team and they're going to be properly fucked if they miss out on the CL monies..

I don't know about them signing M'Bappe, I suspect the owners of Blackburn, Reading, Coventry and Crewe will be waiting by their phones, besides themselves with great anticipation waiting for an offer to come in for their star player..

Bingo's race looks to be run, it looks to me that he hasn't got the energy or fight to 'go again'..

All the years of having to contend with 'i'kkle ciddy in his head have finally broken him..

I mean, we've got God as a fan, he's a season card holder in CB3 btw, he sits near me, swears like a trooper..!

Bingo will no doubt be off to pastures new very soon to run another bunch of players into the ground whilst screaming, shouting and gurning into the cameras on the touchline..

Heavy Metal, Mentality Monsters, yeah right..!



Come home Slippy G..!

 

[give it to gordon]

Are there any stats that show if their amount of running is less than the last two seasons ?

In Leicester winning season didnt their running stats improve something like 2k per player compared the the season before and after their win ?

Just wondering if liverpool have dropped of or just that they are now ref'd fairly, that they transferred VAR to utd , and teams have sussed them out.

Didn’t they get that physio from us , Lilly?? Think we had a bad injury record before he moved there... Nice move City

It normally says what they are looking for on the big screens and the broadcasters show a picture of the screen. Good enough reason to relegate the two Premier League teams that don't have such screens.

The commentators normally get some communication as well i think. If they were checking for a red i think it would be known about

Best fans in the world not being there to pick them up and drive them on they say, well if those video blogger fxxkers are anything to go by it's just as well they aren't there.
Serving up half hearted performances would be getting slaughtered by a crowd and the pressure even greater.
Got to add, long may it continue never thought I'd get so much pleasure watching a dippers match.
