The Bigfooty Liverpool Thread - Champions of England

How is Endo injured when he's barely got on the park?

Bajcetic has a hamstring "strain" that's lasted 6 months.

Do we need a new medical team again?

Bajcetic had major hamstring surgery in pre-season which is why he’s out for so long.

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

Slot says Isak will miss a couple of months.

Bradley and Gakpo not training yet but will be 50/50 for the Wolves game.

Gomez and Endo still out.

Wirtz is fine, just had cramps.

That seems highly optimistic for a broken leg. Then once the bone has actually healed there'll be all the time needed for Isak regain fitness/touch.

Depends on the severity of the fracture, much like a minor hamstring strain can be 1-2 weeks off and a severe one 1-2 months.

 

[JLC]

Most important is a CB.

Leoni ACL.

Gomez basically is unavailable and it's a bonus if he can get on the pitch. Gone in summer

Ibou mind elsewhere - either sold in Jan or gone 1st of July.


VVD ageing.

I actually reckon we need 2 X CB unless Lucky can step up.

Agree 1 now and another in the summer.

And another 1 or 2 in the window after that as VVD is not getting any younger.

I believe prior to Leoni it was quite some time since we purchased the previous centre back.

Do we have any decent academy players ready to take the next step?

fibula fractures are the “better” ones apparently, non weight bearing and can be 6-8 week fully healed. As you say he then has to come back up to fitness.

Spam is building that Semenyo is coming

Honestly, do we really need him? I personally don't think so

 

[Lebbo73]

Honestly, do we really need him? I personally don't think so

United fans are saying that he’s going to City. City are offering him the big pounds apparently!

 

[RossFC]

Wouldn't mind trying to get Marmoush out of City if we are gonna do a 2 striker system.

 

[QuietB]

Honestly, do we really need him? I personally don't think so

We need some pace and movement. If Salah is not coming back we need someone.

 

[Mr Meow]

Honestly, do we really need him? I personally don't think so

Yes, or someone like him.

He's high energy, a great dribbler, has pace, can take a man on, great finisher and strong passer in/around the box. Can play anywhere across the attack but would naturally fit in on our right wing.

Salah slots a pen in Egypt's 1-0 win vs South Africa.

[peternorth]

Manure won so lfc need to win to keep them back.

 

[RossFC]

Gakpo and Bradley make the bench.

 

[Cooldude]

You know we have an injury crisis when Slot's starting Chiesa

 

[gaskin]

In before Chiesa hat-trick.

 

[Gak Attack]

In before Chiesa hat-trick.

And back to the bench following game

 

[neko]

Missing Szoboslai due to discipline of course, he's the really big out. Hopefully we still have enough to beat Wolves.

 

[SC_Power]

First Ekitike hitting the post after a sexy Wirtz pass and then Macca with the piledriver tipped onto the post.
Hopefully not gonna be one of those games.

 

[RossFC]

Great work from Frimpong to set up that first goal.

And boom Wirtz with the next one!

 

[SC_Power]

Finally Frimpong attacks the low block and cuts back for Grav, and the resistance ends.
Then Ekitike through ball to Wirtz a minute later, his goal drought is over and it’s 2-0 in an instant.

 

[JayPea14]

Hugo brilliant for that second goal

 

[SC_Power]

It IS only Wolves, but week in week Wirtz looks to be growing into that attacking midfielder role and taking on defences to unlock them. His partnership and understanding with Ekitike is growing and I’m sure it will with Isak in time with enough minutes of both of them together on the park down the line.

 

[Mr Meow]

Wirtz is growing in confidence lately and is beginning to show not just quality, but authority. It's good to see his hard work being rewarded with end product too.

I like what Frimpong offers on the right flank. He's not afraid to take a man on and really put pressure on a low block defence.

Hugo's great season continues.

Signs of the future on show lately. It'll take time for it to all click but there's obvious potential (as you'd expect for the £ outlay).

 

[SC_Power]

I’m shocked, another set piece goal conceded.
