Robbo with a bad looking ankle injury

[StPatsAbu]

The best right back in world football has signed a new 4 year deal with the club

Jack Grealish signed a 5 year deal last September
born in the city and playing for your boyhood club and all
Contracts not worth the paper they're written on

Nothing has changed since Stevie Me texted Jose looking to dump Liverpool

Robbo with a bad looking ankle injury

Just saw a video of it. Nasty looking alright.

[Dire Ear]

Andy Robertson was forced off with an ankle injury during Liverpool's 1-1 pre-season draw against Athletic Bilbao at Anfield on Sunday.
The left-back went over on his right ankle while attempting to block a cross shortly before half-time and had to be helped from the field by the medical team.
Manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed after the game that Robertson will have a scan on Monday to determine the severity of the injury.
Diogo Jota converted Sadio Mane's pass to give the Reds the lead in the first half, but winger Alejandro Berenguer levelled after the break to earn Bilbao a draw.
Virgil van Dijk played 72 minutes as he continues his recovery from a serious knee injury.

Looks like Robbo could be out for a couple of weeks.  Tsimikas has been playing well in pre season though so hopefully he can fill in without any issue.

Watched a few of those games,  a lot of players looking sharp ( as you'd expect against the opposition) Konate looking comfortable, Firminio and Miniminio (sp) Tsimikas, and Elliott.
Midfield possibly the weakest area at this stage;  and it's not too bad !!

In terms of MF the 'first' MF grouping hasn't played together, Fab, Hendo and Thiago. The key thing is to be able to play MFs in midfield and not as CBs. I think it will be an interesting season. I think the squad is actually stronger than people realise. Last year was an aberration in terms of injuries. Although 2 years older this squad, bar Gini, dominated the league. Since then Thiago, Jota, Taimikas and Konate have been added and Harvey Elliot has matured. A few out(Origi, Shaq and Phillips) and 1 maybe 2 in and then it's a great squad.

Selling Phillips would be a mistake in my opinion;  Elliott has massive potential

Phillips is at the peak of his value at the minute. He's a great lad and was excellent but is unlikely to get many games this coming season. Get £15m from Burnley or Newcastle and wish him all the best. Last season was a freak for injuries.

Matip will definitely get injured
Gomez will likely get injured
VVD may pick up niggles coming back from such a long layoff.

Might not be long before someone is needed, and Phillips has proven himself to be a big step ahead of Rhys Williams.
Of course, if Phillips wanted a move to get first team football you'd wish him the best

[J70]

Phillips has to move for the sake of his career. He can't sit around at Liverpool at the age of 24-25, fifth choice, and still hope to make it at EPL level. This time last year he was looking at Championship. Now is the time to make a proper go of it somewhere like Burnley or Brighton. If he improves further, bigger opportunities will come his way.

[Armamike]

Can understand completely why Phillips would want a move.  He got himself in the shop window over the past few months and now is his chance to get a decent move based on the good form he showed.  His lack of pace means he'll never be a serious option in a Klopp team.

[brokencrossbar1]

The club should be looking to recoup close to £40-45m with possible sales.  The reality is that this is the way the transfers have to work as we do not have a gold mine like the petro clubs or United. I think people need to realise and understand that.  If they got that through there is the money to buy a new forward

Harvey Elliott looks like he is going to be a special talent
