The Liverpool Thread

Jeez... 10 goals in the last three games for the blue side of Liverpool.
They certainly know where the nets are.

Been saying it all year but this is why there should be no European footy along with no International football for me right now.

Might be able to do somehow CL. But we should cut international friendlis now and EUROs in summer. Make the season longer into the summer and be done with it. We can live without EUROs in summer, but players health should come first not the money.... But who are we kidding.
 

Football without fans is NOTHING!

L’pool without fans is like apple pie without ice cream, a Sunday roast without roasties, a music gig without sound. It just doesn’t go.

Perfect storm.

In Carragher’s case, he’s just a low life shithouse who plays the Sky game perfectly for controversy. His ‘opinion’ goes as far as whoever he’s been speaking to that day and whats gonna generate the most hits.

But then if he didn’t, he wouldn’t be working for that joke tabloid organisation to begin with after the sewer dwelling depths he stooped to.
 
Fabinho out tomorrow dinner now. Just super. :(

Yanno’, opposition fans/ the reactionary among our number, are bad enough who don’t understand actual context isn’t an ‘excuse.’

But when you get pundits, so-called ‘experts’ (STOP laughing at the back!), madly debating ‘What’s wrong at L’pool?’ every time you turn on the telly .....

We now sit with all 4 senior CH’s that we went into the season without injured. 3 of them long-term. Tomorrow, we are looking at our SEVENTEENTH different CH partnership across all competitions this season. A mind-blowing THIRTEEN of them through 24 league games. The single most important pairing on this or any other team. Decimated. With what, 2/3rds of our games is it we’ve been without 6 or more senior players in each one? And we aren’t talking squad fillers there. We’re talking KEY starters. And KEY first choice back-ups to those starters.

And yet the ‘expert’ ex-players are asking ‘What’s wrong at L’pool?’ 🤦‍♂️

You couldn’t make this up if you tried.

Which Prem game were you missing 6 key starters?

Well to answer that direct straight off the top of my head Brighton a week last Wednesday. Alisson, Gomez, van Dijk, Fabinho, Keita and Mané.

But the simple fact of the situation is in two-thirds of our games this year we've had 6 or more first-team players unavailable. And most every one of those games there's been key players missing. And then key back-up's to those key players. To where you end up playing back-ups to the back-ups. It's been a horrendously unprecedented injury list.

As this shows in black and white after that Brighton game-

After yet another key injury ruling out Fabulous (all you can do is laugh at this point), a fantastic opportunity for Kabak to start earning a summer move to Anfield. Had to be the Captain alongside him talking him through it. And an opportunity arises again for both Rhys to return to the bench and Leighton Clarkson to get more game-day experience with the first-team. For every negative and all that .....

I have a good feeling about this and the rest of the season.

To all intents and purposes, the League may have gone. (Although from the players, manager, and staff standpoint they have to assume it's still in play until such time as it's mathematically not. Or else Klopp may as well retire as the culture he's worked SO hard to instill here wouldn't mean ____.).

But we're still the equal of City with a fully healthy squad and both teams are a Country mile better than anything else in this league. So at a bare minimum, second-place needs boxing off. (Which would be an outstanding season in context.). And the last 5 games since Utd in the Cup, bar the Brighton carnage, have shown serious signs of our identity returning. Even last Sunday, although we weren't at our barnstorming best by any means, that was nottin like a 1-4 game and until Alisson lost his head, a tight draw was more than fair and what you'd expect from City and L'pool.

Straight into these Redmen. Let's say 3-1. Set us up nicely for the return of Europe next week and a fascinating tussle with RBL.
