The Bigfooty Liverpool Thread

[jod23]

very confusing as to why Origi and Minamino are treated like a 38 year old Rickie Lambert. Minamino scores a nice goal and gets ghosted for 3 games. look at Orgi's minutes this season, how's a striker supposed to do anything with this? it reads like an actual joke the manager is playing on him or something

13 minutes? lmao

Klopp has his reasons though too. Origi and Minamino get limited opportunities cos they quite simply are not good enough. But driving Bob, Mane and Mo into the ground isnt helping either. We miss Jota terribly!

I can't believe we aren't having a serious crack at getting Tomori on loan from Chelsea. Lampard is saying that he can't get him game time because Chelsea have 5 centrebacks to pick from and a loan would be best for him. AC Milan want to loan him but are insisting on a buyout clause at the end of the loan which looks like Chelsea don't want. Remove Gomez from this season's squad and register him. Send him back to Chelsea in the summer. Job done.

Doubt highly that Chelsea want to do us a favour and provide us with a decent CB to alleviate our problems.

What is good enough? Minamino can score, create. Klopp is putting these players up too high of a standard. The front three has been the same, more or less, for 3 years. Somethings gotta give. Anyone can be good enough if given the chance.
Chances for those on the bench. Shaq looked hungry, Minamino has his fragilities, but Firmino is better? That pedestal needs to come down and tactics changed a bit.
TAA has been below average this season too. Lots to think about. Can’t just give players game on name/title winners.

The bolded part is not really true at all.

Taki should be given more opportunities as he more fits our style whereas I feel Origi is a fish out of water with how we play and need's to move on. Shaq is getting games and rightly should do. I think he would be an option to play in the front three if we werent so short in midfield.

TAA has been below average this season but Neco isnt up to it and even though TAA hasnt hit the heights yet of his last two campaigns no way would I be dropping him for Neco.

Our form slump is demoralising. The goals drying up is so unlike us. Something amiss behind closed doors?

They have done exactly the same thing before in the past with Victor Moses. They've come out and publicly said Tomori needs a loan to get game time. He would get plenty of game time this season with us. AC Milan also want him but are insisting on an option to buy at the end of the season which it appears Chelsea do not want. It makes total sense for us to loan Tomori for the rest of the season and remove Gomez from the squad list.

I would be very disappointed if the club aren't at least trying to make it happen behind the scenes.

We need to win tonight. If we don't, we will start falling a bit far behind which seemed like an impossibility a month ago.

Hendo's injured, Mo and Bob dropped

Bob deserved the drop but not sure if Mo should, too. Hendo doing a muscle means we're boned

 

[gaskin]

Matip back is huge. That front 3 is a bit interesting. I'm backing Shaq to score.

Hendo out sucks major balls.

Salah has had his back to goal the whole time. We needed to mix it up.

 

[Lebbo73]

It’s going to be another scoreless draw isn’t it?

 

[RossFC]

Just noticed that Kostas is back on the bench.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

If Gomez drops out of our squad for the 2nd half of the season and is replaced by an international CB do we run into problems with the local player minimum?

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Not a great first 15 minutes either. Just not gelling at the moment.

 

[Cooldude]

Same s**t different day

Just lash two upfront, teams are packing central areas against us coz we play narrow, one bloke ain't gonna get any joy

 

[Jars458]

Same old same old. Sigh.

 

[Cooldude]

Another day of watching aimless crosses for 90 minutes

 

[RossFC]

Get Origi and Arnold off

 

[Cooldude]

How did he actually miss that

 

[Jars458]

Origi miss shows where we are.

 

[Cooldude]

Half time scrap the most entertaining thing so far

 

[jod23]

Another s**t half. Gifted a one on one from a mistake and I had zero faith in Origi which was proven correct. No idea where any goals are gonna come from. We desperately need to win this game to stop the rot.

 

[Jars458]

Mike Dean completely bottles that.
