Liverpool Thread - 2023/24

I can see Klopp reverting to type, ditching the cups and going all out for the league. Sala, Van Dijk and Tront all have 2 years left on their contracts and at least the first two will probably be gone next summer.

Liverpool will be nowhere near us. They struggled against a poor Chelsea side. The media will blow smoke up the arses of these pricks at will. Watch their form after they start the Thursday night cup.

The Thursday cup will soon be rebranded as the toughest most elite competition in the world now the scousers are in it.

Until they get knocked out by the Ukrainian army 5 a side team.

Wtf? They beat a Villa side that Newcastle put 5 past. That’s a Newcastle side that have played 4 and lost 3.

Way too much blowing smoke up the Dippers arses on here atm.
Even if they were Brazil 70 I’d never acknowledge them.

Twas ever thus.....4 games in and you simply cannot tell anything.
We got out of jail against Newcastle due to a couple of mistakes by defenders and Nunez doing that rare thing (for him) hitting the target. perhaps the case in point being when he hit the post from 10yds for Cashs' OG.
Even yesterday I was amazed at how much Villa sat back and let us play. Gomez/Matip were clearly the weak links there and yet there was no real pressure on them. What happened to the now regular line of attack of the ball into TAAs corner...perhaps the reason they kept swapping Gomez into RB.
Wait and see how we are getting on after 10 games and whether or not the midfield is abit more solid before thinking we are going to have any chance of keeping up with you lot.

....and as for @Footballstubs... just post it in the Liverpool thread.
that said relatively early in my time on here I did dare to start a thread

I suspect the Chelsea match doesn't mean a lot, early season performances are always variable.
We were poor for a fair bit of the Fulham match.

Their attack looks pretty potent. Defense doesn't look all that at the moment but defenses are often stabilized with a bit of work.

Not wholly convinced by them ,but certainly not writing them off. Thursdays they will walk.

don’t see liverpool mounting a title charge this year. Too vulnerable at the back

 

[Oddchild]

The one thing that anyone and everyone who watched them Saturday can’t deny is that this midfield is massively improved in terms of energy and pressures compared to last year.

For that reason alone, I think Liverpool are going to be back to being the ‘best of the rest’. It’s pretty impressive how well they played given the newness of the midfield.

Szoboszlai is gonna take this league by storm in my humble opinion.

Liverpool will have lots of ups and downs this season. Some games they'll look like world beaters then will struggle in games they're expected to win. If teams can put pressure on their defence it looks a little shaky and their midfield needs time to get to know each other. One thing you can't do against them is exactly what Villa did yesterda and play a high defensive line without putting pressure on the ball. Liverpool's front 3 have pace to burn and they have some decent passers of the ball when given the time to play them.

The time to judge them is the Sunday after they knock the rags out of the Thursday Cup.

You might need an alternative criteria because this one makes the assumption the Rags will pip Gala to third in their group.
