The Bigfooty Liverpool Army

[QuietB]

What a player. Just exemplifies him: comes out and puts the pressure on then waits - sees his moment and then decisively knocks it out.

It was absolutely brilliant. Half the goal keepers in the world would at least give a pen away in that situation.

Alisson is unbelievable really - when you consider the package of shot stopping, positioning and defending like the above, his distribution which is probably the best in the world, the number of clean sheets. He has to be the best goal keeper in the world doesn't he?

 

[Sozabarus]

He is so good. To be honest I was a bit worried when we signed him, not because I didn’t rate him, but because the pressure to perform was huge considering the price tag and our recent history with keepers. One mistake and everyone would be on to him.

Then he made that mistake in his first few weeks away at Leicester, and it didn’t phase him at all. Has been incredible ever since.

It was a howler for the ages too

I don't know if he's the best. Most composed tho, along with VVD, just the two most composed players - instantly solved all our defensive woes. Football is unique in that it all comes down to decisive moments, a player that does the right thing 99 out of 100 times is probably more valuable than a more talented player that has brain fades. Applies to the whole team really.

Many of us (myself included) were convinced Achterberg was the problem also. It's now clear he just needed a quality keeper to work with.


Allison was pretty cocky at the start of last season playing around at the back. The Leicester goal turned out to be a good thing because he learnt from it and didn't look back. Mentality is a huge thing for him.

Any thought on City? Lots of talk about them taking on UEFA and bringing down FFP. From a 'pool perspective think we're obviously in favor of FFP. A massive moment for the game really.

Reckon the punishment should go further and they should lose all their Champions League trophies

 

[Cuzz09]

Should start next 5 EPL seasons on -6 points

What are your guys thoughts on Minamino being fit but just completely left out of the matchday squad.

Hmmm....

I have no problem with it at all. Jurg has done this before getting players up to speed before slowly integrating them to the squad before they become regulars. His record of man management is pretty good, so no drama at this stage, especially bearing in mind it wouldn't be easy breaking into the best squad in world football at the moment.

Expected reaction from a guilty party. FFP is here to stay.

Remember Fabinho's first 3 months?

Matip was stiff also.

 

[The Punter]

Hmmm....

18 fit senior outfield players and only 16 spots in the squad. I can't imagine it will happen too often, especially considering the durability of Messrs Lovren, Matip & Lallana.

Remember Fabinho's first 3 months?

Fabinho didn't start because he wasn't settling into Liverpool was home sick. Hopefully that's the case with minamino and not that Klopp doubting his ability

 

[Cooldude]

All players take a while to be drilled into Jurg's way of playing, it was the same for Robbo, Fabinho, Naby, etc.

True. Wasn't Robbo on the bench for like four months after debuting?

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

Yep, then Moreno got injured and the rest is history.

The time to judge Minamino will be after a pre-season. Hell even if he flops he's only cost us 7m.

 

[Sozabarus]

We have an almost fully fit squad, and Minamino is competing with Origi and Lallana for a spot on the bench, both who have more credit in the bank, especially when it comes to making an impact off the bench.

There’s really nothing to be concerned about.

I think the Sevilla game was the last straw. I didn't watch it but 442oons or whatever they are called made a video st the time how Moreno cost us the game.

Kick balls at his head

Hmmm....

Had Mané and Origi on the bench. Mané is Mané and Origi has earned his spot in the pecking order.

How many attacking players can you have on one bench?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

He landed like a cat. Incredible agility.

Control + balance + finish = amazing
