Rick Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 I hope Gini plays like he did again at the blueshite and not like a useless shithouse like he can be sometimes. Quote
Dr. Gonzo Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 I just saw our lineup from the last CL semi final against Chelsea. If you took the midfield from that and put it in our current side the team would be incredible. Quote
LFCMike Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 There's a perception of Mane that he's not been as good as last season but he has. The addition of Salah and Firmino getting even better has kind of overshadowed Mane's improvement. We're also not as reliant on him as we were last season. He's still scoring some big goals. 2 Quote

He went through a bit of a slump where he couldn't really find his feet or get the goals needed but so has everyone in the front this season. I am just glad that he's back to his best when it matters. Quote
Machado Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) Interesting scouting report about Roma, produced by Liverpool's Tom Saunders ahead of the European Cup Final in 1984. Edited April 19, 2018 by Machado 1 Quote
Dr. Gonzo Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 I like how he makes a confident assessment of them after having seen them play just three times. But it was definitely an interesting read. I believe the '84 final was the Bruce Grobelaar wobbly legs special final - so interesting to read that Bruce was recommended to stand his ground on penalties... rather than have spaghetti legs.

LFCMike Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Got a great book on that 83/84 season - I Don't Know What It Is But I Love It by Tony Evans. Loved reading about Souness' leadership in that final in particular. Quote
Dr. Gonzo Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 The Ox out for the season and likely the world cup. Gutted for him (and for us). Quote

I think I just saw Klopp say it was really bad post match. We're really short in midfield now aren't we? Any chance of Can or Lallana making a comeback any time soon? God knows what our midfield will look like Saturday. Quote

Can and Lallana could possibly be in contention if we make the CL final but not any of our remaining league games/CL semi second leg which means we now have Hendo, Gini & Milner to play every game from now on in. TAA could possibly do a job in midfield (played there for the under 23’s) with Clyne/Gomez covering at RB but that isn’t ideal considering the importance of the upcoming games. Stoke now has become a must win game so we can rest players against Chelsea and Brighton, otherwise we are fucked basically. Quote
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted April 25, 2018 Subscriber Posted April 25, 2018 Sad news about the Ox and he was doing really well too. Going to be a big miss considering the amount of pace and direct attack offering he brings but having said that this is when we have to turn to players like Gini so that they step their game up. I thought he was brilliant last night apart from missing a sitter but we all know he just can't finish them which if he adds to his arsenal will make him a bigger threat. Quote
UNORTHODOX Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Fuckinghell, Feel sorry for him. I think his performances for us have been just a little overhyped but he was getting better with each game and clearly enjoying his football here. it looks like he won't play for us again this season but I will be gutted for him if he misses out on the World Cup as well because he deserves his place in the team.

Cicero Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Ox out for 9 months. Can only imagine complete ACL tear if that's the case. Feel for him. Worst pain I've ever experienced. 1 Quote

About an hour ago the Mirror were reporting Liverpool expected him to be fit for the start of next season Quote
Administrator Stan Posted April 25, 2018 Administrator Posted April 25, 2018 if that's true, that's fucking terrible for AOC. Very nasty injury and would hurt even more given how good a season he's had and he would have been a key player for England in Russia. Very much a shame and hope he recovers fully if it is as serious as that. Quote
LFCMike Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Liverpool and England midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will miss the World Cup after suffering a knee injury in the Champions League against Roma. The 24-year-old was taken off on a stretcher in the 15th minute after challenging Aleksandar Kolarov. Oxlade-Chamberlain had a scan on Wednesday which revealed a knee ligament injury. It is understood he spoke to England manager Gareth Southgate to inform him about the injury. "The extent of the injury means Oxlade-Chamberlain is set to miss the remainder of the campaign for Liverpool, as well as the World Cup in Russia with England," Liverpool said in a statement. "Oxlade-Chamberlain will now begin a rehabilitation programme to enable him to reach full fitness again as soon as possible, returning to action next season." BBC Quote
UNORTHODOX Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 I feel for the lad, Playing the best football of his career and was a shoe in to be a starter at the World Cup, can't even imagine how he must be feeling right now. Quote
Asura Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Probably a stupid question. If liverpool win the CL, will Coutinho get a winner's medal since he was part of the liverpool's CL squad and is also cup tied? Quote

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted April 27, 2018 Subscriber Posted April 27, 2018 I hope they give him the medal because he did help get us to where we're at now even though we realistically no longer need him. Quote
LFCMike Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 To be honest if we win it I couldn't give a shite who they give a medal to! Quote
