The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread - #DankeJürgen

Apparently Nat Phillips has agreed a new four year contract.

I don't get it.

I get why the club are happy to keep him, but from his perspective, does he really think he can force his way past the four ahead of him, even if Matip is made of paper and Gomez suffers from freak, serious injuries.

Or maybe he's happy with the money and five to ten appearances per season.

Im gona go out on a limb here and say Liverpool arent for signing anyone before the window SLAMS SHUT

They need another option up front. Can't see them having enough to win either PL or CL as things stand.

I think it will depend on Mane's and a lesser extent Bobby's form. Mane has been mediocre to say the least for the last odd 6 months. If he returns to what he can do then we will be grand...with 4 A listers vying for 3 spots and a support cast of Mini, Ox and even Elliott we should be fine. In saying that wouldn't mind them bringing in some 21 yr old with pace and trickery who won't mind sitting on the bench for a few seasons and someone you can throw on with 20 to go to chnage things up.

Couldn't disagree more. Need proven quality on the bench.

Eight Premier League players will be stopped from playing for their clubs this weekend after Brazilian football authorities triggered a Fifa rule to prevent them appearing. Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and Leeds United will all be affected. Players not released for an international window can be banned for five days after the window ends under the Fifa regulations. The decision covers 10-14 September.

Brazil invoked the bans after the Premier League stopped players from appearing for their country if it meant travel to red list countries.
Players travelling to red list countries would have had to miss several games on their return because of the 10-day isolation period required under UK rules.

In addition to missing their sides' weekend games, Chelsea defender Thiago Silva and Manchester United midfielder Fred will also not be allowed to play in their teams' opening Champions League games against Zenit St Petersburg and Young Boys next Tuesday. However, it is understood Brazil have not asked for Everton forward Richarlison to be prevented from featuring against Burnley on Monday. It is felt Brazil showed leniency in that specific case as Everton allowed Richarlison to play at the Olympic Games when the regulations did not force them to.

The move also affects three Liverpool players, Roberto Firmino, Fabinho and Alisson;

Ah f**k - that's not good for Harvey

[RedHand88]

Harvey Elliots leg just broke with a horrible tackle. Gary neville says it's not a red.

[StPatsAbu]

Hope the young lad recovers quickly.

I only saw the real time footage. Didn't look that bad.

You would have to assume VAR had a proper look though.

[Gabriel_Hurl]

finally for Mane ...... hopefully that kicks him on now.

[laoislad]

Horrible for Elliot, hopefully it's not as bad as it looked but it did seem his ankle was dangling..
On the game itself, it was as comfortable as they come but they really should have scored about 6 if not more.

[Hound]

Cruel for Elliott. Really cruel.

Decent performance. Expecting a big season from Thiago.
