Liverpool thread 2020/21

Yeah, but you would miss the quality comedy like the above.
We can’t always rely on the rags to provide this level of hilarity.

Arsenal and Spurs should be enough.

Also didn’t realize Everton hve three in hand on them and only 3 pts off them ...

I hope that they only win two of them and lose the other one.

They will be some.team next season, they have about 9 centre halves now.
Thursday nights incoming

Injuries you say, they have injured players? I'd have thought someone might have mentioned this.

You mean like that bloke at Wigan,Dave something or other?
Hurt his leg in a cup final I think.

Thiago has fucked up their system completely. Plus hes awful defensively.

In complete contrast to the superlatives given to him when they signed him. He really was tagged as a monster signing for them, oh well...

 

[scousemanc]

Another 30 years?

If anyone lives near the Wirral, please can you pop round to Gregory Peccarys house to make sure he’s ok......

this has been said a few times, i dont watch them but was lead to believe liverpool were a long ball team and didnt need a midfield, unless its lack defensive play.

 

[give it to gordon]

and i thought Leicester were bad !

Be wonderful if they finished out of the top 4. The owners aren't going to be pumping money in, the squad is ageing and a few of the better ones are going to want away. I think they could struggle for a while.

Covid has really fucked them in the sense that Firmino, Mané and Salah are all 29 this summer, which is the last year they could sell them for serious money and fund a rebuild.

When they finish outside the top 4 this season, it means Firmino, Mane, Salah, Henderson, Van Dijk, Matip, Thiago, Shaqiri, Alisson and Fabinho will all be in their 30's when they get back to the CL.

Wijnaldum is leaving on a free, Milner will too.

Where is the money going to come from to rebuild that squad?

 

[Vienna_70]

Apart from anything else, what was the penguin doing so far out of his area?

 

[domalino]

This is an incredibly poor take. What's fucked up their system is moving Henderson and Fabinho from midfield to defence.

They aren't good CB's, and losing them from midfield has exposed the fullbacks, who used to get help from the two of them, and killed their counterpress.

 

[Northblue]

I'm puzzled by this term 'mentality monsters'. Where did that come from?....I suddenly started seeing it appear and you think: "Why? What mentality?". Real mentality is a team that wins the last 14 games of a league season, often playing after their closest rivals when the pressure is really on. Mentality monsters my arse.....mentality midgets more like.

Didn’t we play every game after them in that run? (Apart from Brighton of course)

 

[Vienna_70]

he is a well known actor and from the films toy story ? its buzz lightyear

To obscurity and beyond!

 

[Cornish_Blue]

The silence was deafening when Leicester went ahead. You could hear the pain in Mcpointys voice.
Priceless.

Did he?

This is an incredibly poor take. What's fucked up their system is moving Henderson and Fabinho from midfield to defence.

I think both of you are right, moving those two midfielders to defense has been atrocious but Thiago in the middle has been just as bad. He's playing slow and taking too many touches. Those dipper forwards are used to running onto long balls over the top and Thiago cant or wont play that way. He also looks bereft of confidence which cant be helping.

Long may it continue

 

[Northblue]

The what?

¿Que?

 

[jimharri]

What's with all the tic-tac gestures at the beginning?
