Talk Liverpool

peter.lynch15h ago

Strange one this… can’t see it though, would hugely struggle for game time given the talent they’ve got… Dumfries is a machine 🤖

james.brooke2d ago

Good luck to him, as long as he's not back at Liverpool that'll do for me. Good enough to be 3/4th choice but not a starter, especially with Jacquet and Leoni lurking around

dantowen819512d ago

Don’t really understand this to be honest - he’s not kicked on that much at Leverkusen

Stevie G .....of course

james.brooke2d ago

Gerrard is the answer at the best of times, but he'd take this team specifically up several levels. To the people saying Fabinho, Mascherano was probably even better in his prime, so he'd be next on my list

kevanpower82d ago

Has to be Steven Gerrard his leadership and quality are sadly missed. Other great ones too but for me he was the best

pereanderson4113h ago

Fans should give him more confidence Then let the coach make him free on the pitch, let him play his own football

freddie2d ago

Klopp tried out a 4-4-2, maybe we could? Him and Isak up top might not be bad. I do worry it’s just the physicality and pace of the Prem tho, that’s his issue!

david.comerford3d ago

I don't mean this in a bad way, but you know a player is struggling when you get invested in his international performances 😭

james.brooke4d ago

I think he’s lucky to make the list to be honest. He’s maybe in 50-100 but just of all the unbelievable footballers in the last 100 years. Recency bias gets him in, I don’t think anything else does

dantowen819514d ago

I need to see who is ahead of him before I judge! Then again, if Salah is 43, surely that means no Liverpool player is above him? Maybe Suarez

kyle.dimond1d ago

Always loved watching Wijnaldum. But, feel like him and Firmino are pretty highly appreciated both during their time at the club and after. Matip was underappreciated. I count myself in that

freddie4d ago

0% so far for Lucas Leiva?! Put some respect on his name!

david.comerford4d ago

It's definitely not Lucas. Decent player but nowhere near the other two here. I'd maybe go for Henderson. Last few years have damaged his image within the fanbase but there's a reason a manager like Klopp picked him every week

Business as usual with liverpools injury luck

peter.lynch5d ago

Very annoyed tbh! He’s been our best player this season and we’ll definitely miss him 😭

james.brooke6d ago

Sounds like he might be out for a few weeks. Lucky there’s two more weeks of the break so he shouldn’t miss loads but still really annoying when he’s been playing so well. Testament to him that everyone’s upset he’s out, last season this news would’ve been met with a shrug

dantowen819516d ago

Jacquet is a massive upgrade on Konate at this stage. Araujo might’ve gone a long way to fixing the RB problem too

freddie7d ago

Jacquet is bloody brilliant! So much better than Ibou already. And Araujo has proven me wrong. Been so good and aggressive so far without taking it too far! Best bits of defensive business we have done in a long time

peter.lynch7d ago

Jacquet is a class act, looks to be a perfect replacement for VVD soon. And brilliant from Araujo, has helped solidly that worrying right-back spot

keithsmyth3767d ago

Another bloody injury, this time Cody Gapko when does our curse ever end, this stupid Nations League is to blame for this having 4 games in 11 days during international break totally horrendous, they're saying Gapkos injury looks serious as he was brought off after 17 minutes, but I still think we've got enough to beat the scumbags Manchester City

pereanderson417d ago

Guy me I'm tired. When isak was getting back to form this happened

dakir.thanveer7d ago

Guessing it's precautionary. Might not be able to play in Sweden's next game, so all parties likely decided it's better he returns. Hopefully a good thing for Liverpool

dakir.thanveer7d ago

This is in line with the FSG model though. Sticking with someone who knows the ins and outs and someone who they trust. Ward developed under Edwards (at this prime haha), so not a bad appointment. Hope he stays longer than he did last time though😅😂

chillout8d ago

I can see the logic - Liverpool Wanted to move quickly to replace Hughes, and Ward has a lot of history and experience at the club. His proven track record will no doubt help Iraola with contract renewals and identifying key new targets.

freddie9d ago

Yh I think it would have been nice to have a look at that Brentford guy, however Ward didn’t do a bad job before did he? Brought in like Macca and signed Salah’s new deal didn’t he?

jonesthejournal.13d ago

Yes. There is precedent. Juve were stripped of Serie A titles which were the awarded to Inter. Juve have never been the same since whereas Inter have enjoyed a successful period.

jonesthejournal.15d ago

Initially, I thought that stripping titles from City and awarding the trophies to the runners-up would not feel right. You aren't, as a fan, going to celebrate in the normal way. But, as in justice which arrives late, there would be some satisfaction. There is precedent; Juve were relegated and stripped of Serie A titles which were then awarded to Inter.

curwen527d ago

Whatever happens they should just leave those years blank. That way people in the future will ask why they are blank. City's cheating will always be there for all to see. No one will then forget.

flomaepioh6d ago

My Take is, why is it that Flo always on the spotlight? remember what Jurgen Klopp, the one making LFC believe again said, people who love and know the sport will agree that Flo performs alright! I would only take what Jurgen says as he is the one making me believe again.

keithsmyth3769d ago

About time we sold Wirtz while we can still get money for him, he is atrocious, I will personally buy the plane ticket back to Germany for him to join Bayern Munich, he's had plenty of time to redeem himself, also take Kerkez and Frimpong out the door with him in January.

dale.odonnell11d ago

Total flop. Got a free ride from the press until the start of this season.

freddie12d ago

Fekir is most obvious, I remember Zielinski as well, although no idea if he was actually any good ahaha. Does Jude count?

james.brooke12d ago

He maybe wasn’t the best possible one, but I was gutted the Fekir deal fell through in 2018. He would have been special in that team and it was so, so close. I think Mbappe could possibly end up with us in the future. New owners might wants a big star and he clearly is impressed by the club

peter.lynch12d ago

Bellingham 1 millionnnn percent. Can you imagine life with that man in our midfield? World beater

yespmed9d ago

obirib9089d ago

He is doing well but he is not there yet. AVERAGE PERSEVERANCE.

freddie12d ago

I worry for Grav, not evening getting a look in right now! Need to buy in Jan, but for now gotta hope Macca can keep his good form up and carry us a little in there

markmarston20d ago

When will Nyoni get an opportunity?

peter.lynch21d ago

I start Gravenberch and Mac Allister easy… Szobo in front, am I crazy? Give Wirtz a chance to shine from the bench, might just give him the kick that he so clearly needs

slinacre14d ago

He very rarely has an impact on the game, when he’s good he’s worth keeping, but how often is he that good??? I think Liverpool should sell him, while he’s worth something, and put the money to invest in a younger more consistent midfielder, that would impress more often!!!

lackofiam14d ago

The problem is, you’ve been proving for rounds now that you don’t really understand this game. In fact, what you say mostly stems from stupidity! Of course, that’s understandable, seeing as you’re British.

melfernielfc19d ago

I think Liverpool should renew his contract. She's been playing good for us & he really wants to stay. So, that shows dedication & motivation!

stuart_upton26d ago

I won't

kilham.max28d ago

As a man who went for the best rather than what was best for the team.

worku5128d ago

Well one has to know first who are the others that are involved in bringing players. This years players who are bought performance can't evaluated without playing one year. In total, the jury is out and evaluate him at the end of the season.

kilham.max28d ago

Absolutely until Joe Gomez is back fit. Neither are a long term solution - can only hope Bradley can keep the injuries at bay.

gowelachris29d ago

Surely Araujo should be the right back we crave. Him and Gomez can fit there perfectly.

keithsmyth37630d ago

Ndukwe apparently just has to play one game for Levante then he qualifies for his work permit, I'd bring him back in January as he looked solid pre season, Araujo has to start at the right back position, Conor will be a far better option at right back than Frimpong once he's back from injury, Leoni is back soon and also can play left back.

kilham.max28d ago

Yeah, solid. Looked some player. Clearly a masterful dribbler!

freddie30d ago

Showed some nice touches and will be nice to see him when he’s allowed to fully sttack

jordan.ellis30d ago

Some really nice moments. The most exciting bit was when he sprinted in being - guy is rapid. Only negative I saw was his starting position was quite deep which meant he was out of position for potential counters

freddie30d ago

Never seen him player but he’s going to the top (yes I’m deluded)

kilham.max30d ago

I have never seen this kid play, but hope it works out for him!

kilham.max30d ago

A DM and RW were needed, but I have little care for splashing the cash on undesirable replacements just for the sake of it. Smart decision to let things be for now.

mrdelaneymiller32d ago

Overall, I think we stayed about the same while Arsenal and Man City improved. We basically replaced what we've lost up front and in the middle of defense, but I don't see an improved squad. I hope Ekitike comes back sooner than expected because we are going to need a lot of goals based on how soft the defense is thus far.

dantowen8195132d ago

I think not signing a RB. Frimpong already looks out of his depth and it’s only been two games

tyler.knapp86330d ago

STG if we sign Minteh and miss out on Rayan, might as well get used to being in the Europa league year after year. Not good enough, price is sky high, and hasn't shown enough to justify spending the kind of money it would take to bring him to the club. We all know Gakpo is limited, but he still offers much more than Minteh.

aaronmcfairlane31d ago

A few more attacking options but i still think its early days for ariola to get the team to gel im prepared to give him time but we definitely need to fill the gap through the middle

denniseharriman733d ago

Please do not sell Cody Gapo he is too good a player Liverpool need him

amr26543433d ago

Keep Mamadashvili. He can replace Becker.

david.comerford34d ago

Strange one, is this guy going to be ready in 2027 if Alisson leaves? Very unlikely. So does AB do one more year, or do they think GM can take over? It's all a bit murky and I'm not filled with confidence

jamesshearman2334d ago

Think it would make sense to sell him if you can get around £30m. Robert Sanchez is available as a backup!

peter.lynch35d ago

Inter game should be a cracker, they always pose a real threat in Europe ⚽️

kyle.dimond37d ago

Sure that’s not a Europa League draw? All joking aside, expect a couple of these to be sneakily tough

james.brooke38d ago

None of them are especially exciting sadly. Lens will bring a good atmosphere and we’ve not played Brugge since the 78 final, so that’s at least something different!

dantowen8195140d ago

Say what you want about Gakpo, he’s a fairly solid, reliable goalscorer!

denniseharriman740d ago

No don't let GAKGO go. LIVERPOOL NEED HIM HE'S A GOOD PLAYER

charlesjones41d ago

Depends on the money. Can’t let one good goal cloud things
