Liverpool thread 2020/21

Thiago is an amazing player. Great signing for them.

Thank God we have Gundojog though. I've been told he's still better

They have a hugely settled first team. It has helped them alot. We need to make less changes this year. We piss around with the side almost every week. Sometimes players get dropped with us even after playing well.

But you still have a better team, and are clear favorites for the title this season so you should be fine. Our depth's been an issue, I hope Thiago and Jota can help a little, TBD. FIrmini, Mane and Salah have played a lot of minutes.

The reason why a lot of people on here are being downbeat is not because of what Liverpool are doing it’s because at the moment we have not made the key signings that we needed to . We know our first team is as good if not better than there’s but we can’t seem to 2 games without a key player getting injured whereas Liverpool go all season without any key players out . I do now think we will get the defender we need but left back is a problem and so is up front without kun but at least we can now see how good Jesus really is . Rodri will benefit with fernandhino beingi n midfield so we should see more from him but in all if we get the recruitment we should see more optimism.

Literally the first game of last season: https://en.as.com/en/2019/08/11/football/1565540147_274480.html

Liverpool's Henderson ruled out with injury

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson will be out a number of weeks with a hamstring injury. Klopp also gave an update on team news.

The point is not to get into a pissing contest over who has had more injuries because, first as you point out yourself, your team is better and your depth blows out any other EPL teams out the water, so you should be able to deal with injuries better naturally. Second, we have had starters missing. We' already have an injury worry with Henderson, TAA missed first game, and Gomez was out this game. That's three starters in only 2 games. It's just not true that we "go all season without any key players out".

The British press/media will be all over this investigating as to how 22 top level players all have asthma at the same club. How this club has played the same 14 flat out for two seasons, without any injuries.

New season, same jammy bastards. Two pens so far, one opponent pen missed, one opponent sending off and one opponent keeper fuck up for the umpteenth time. Yep Liverpool have started their season, unbelievable.

The thing is about this, all this is before we've kicked a ball. I'll make you these guarantees for the season;

1) We will not receive 2 penalties in the same game. Especially against a top 6 team.
2) We will not have an opposition player sent off against us in the first half at 0-0. Especially against a top 6 team
3) When we play Chelsea, Chilwell, Zayech Thiago Silva and Pulisic will all be playing.

Where did the 63% of liverpool players develop asthma was it before they signed for liverpool or after ?

At Dortmund under Klopp his players lasted 4/5 seasons at that level so am not expecting any drop in there level.

It's just odd in football, that if this was a pro cycling team the press/media would be accusing them of doping and reporters would be looking into it. Yet in football there doesnt seem to be the same attention paid to football teams. Can you imagine the out cry in cycling if one pro team had 63% of its team as asthmatics ?
