The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread - Arne to Slot right in?

[trailer]

Maybe Liverpool need a season off.

United have had a few seasons off and see what good that has done them?

Will be a decade at the end of this season. Years don't be long adding up.

Liverpool have dominated since.... no wait a minute...

Poor old Trent getting a right going over here today. Mitrovic took a ride on TAAs shoulder. It should have been a free out.

[supersub]

Well at least the dodgy pen means that he wasn't at fault for every goal we have conceded this year!
He's also been involved in many of our goals and chances created.

Ah wobbler, it was no effort to defend. He bent his head down trying to brace for the contact  rather than doing anything to win the ball or put off the striker. It's what you'd expect if Bruno Fernades or Coutinho ended up at the back post with a big striker bearing down. Not near good enough for a full back. Not that I'd swap him for anyone, but I'd like to think he got a kick up the jacksey from management.

Ah wouldn't say he got a kick anywhere to be honest. It wasn't that bad. Trent was defending the far post and Mitrovic comes in like a steam train leaning right into and over him. It was an excellent cross and great forward movement and hints of a foul. There's no way Trent was stopping that momentum, he had his two forearms on Trents back, how could he jump properly? Perhaps one of the CBs would have been able to handle it if they were in the dual due to their size, but even at that it was a powerful leap from the boy. The one who was actually sleeping in the moment was Matip, as their other attacker ran right in and across him - if the cross had been lower the lad would have been unmarked 4 yards from the net. Although hard to see if he would have been offside or not.

Trent is 5'10", Mitrovic is 6'2", hardly a total mismatch. Jump that bit early and make Mitrovic foul you, he cowered/ducked out of it...

Needs to be braver and take one for the team

He's not just 6' 2". He's a 6' 2", 14 stone unit who has made it as a premier league centre forward because he knows how to use those physical attributes.

Football Is in a strange place if fans cannot appreciate Fulham's goal as a superbly executed combination between a winger and a centre forward. There doesn't have to be someone to blame every time a goal is conceded. Sometimes you just have to say well done.

Thiago 4-6 weeks

Thiago 4-6 weeks

Thiago has had a terrible injury record. One of the reasons Bayern let him go.

He really does which is awful for him and us and he is a joy to watch...anyway don't see Klopp making any signings. Think he has Bellingham in his sights and is willing to wait for him ah la Van Dijk. Hopefully, Elliott will get more game time in there now. This time last year he was our best player. Carvalho is also an option. Think both those young fellas are a great plan B for us when we need to 'pick the lock' of low block team.

Sad but not surprising re Thiago.

I fear Milner may get the nod v Palace, and he's looked decent in his two sub appearances, but I'll be very disappointed if Harvey doesn't get the start.

Liverpool FC haven't spent one new penny this summer on players as transfers out = transfers in at this point.

Klopp needs to be going in for a new midfielder as he's left with injury prone lads, others past their best and young potential, and as i've said before, first 11 very strong but the wheels start to come off with a few injuries.

Surprising to hear about the injury to Thiago given Loserpool's medical department.

Now we're going back    It was a guy at work back in the Roy Hodgson days. He was a bit childish by nature though.
