I feel sorry for Joe. He’s hardly been able to get any playing time in his favoured position in the centre alongside Virgil. Remember how good he was in the title winning season when he had an extended run there? He looked like he was on the brink of becoming world class. Since then injuries have completely stunted his growth as a player. He was fit for most of the season but he couldn’t get back in because Joel suddenly turned into freaking Iron Man and never missed a game. In previous seasons there would always be opportunities for games alongside Virgil because none of the others could ever stay for any length of time. Now none of them ever get injured. …

Not quite as impressive as Virg and Matip but not far off it, and considering his age and the fact he’s new to the club that’s pretty remarkable. Konate is way better than I expected him to be. I didn’t think he’d play that much in his first season but he looked impressive right from the start and he just got better and better as the season went on. There were one or two mistakes early on, nothing too glaring and completely understandable given his situation. Centre backs aren’t fully matured until they reach their late twenties, so a 22 year old in a new league, with new team-mates, is always going to have the odd dodgy moment. They were few and far between t…

He scored 10 goals and only started nine games. He’s a big reason why we have two more domestic cups on the Champions Wall. Whatsmore, when he was brought in from the cold against Southampton in a must win league game, he delivered for us again with the opening goal. He’s a terrific little footballer who took advantage of the limited chances that were given to him and he probably deserved to play more. I understand why he didn't, as he's got world class players ahead of him, but Minamino is good enough to have been a Liverpool regular. Just not in this era. Other than Origi, he might just be the most clinical forward we had. He rarely misses, altho…

I expected more from Curtis this season. His ceiling is so high that one day I expect him to be one of the best players in the league. I thought we’d start to see it this season but I guess it’s going to take a while longer. One goal is a terrible return for a player of his talent. I’d say that overall he’s been decent if you look at it in context. That tends to not happen very often though as this team is so great and has so many world class players that we expect everyone to be able to perform to that level, and those who don't are judged more harshly. It's easy to overlook the fact that he's a young lad with not much experience, trying to hold his own in th…

I know I often remark that "last season doesn't count" and I firmly believe that. It should be ignored as being completely irrelevant to any kind of judgement making and nothing proves that more than Sadio Mané. Actually that's not true. Our home record is a more compelling case s to why last season should be disregarded. No defeats at Anfield in five years with fans in the stadium, but we lost six on the spin when it was empty. Shit, even Everton won at Anfield when there were no fans there. The form of Sadio Mané last year is another good example of why football without fans really isn't like proper football and therefore we just make any judgeme…

I think he was probably our best player this season you know. He hasn’t been making countless camera saves every game, but as I've said before Alisson so good that he’s made me completely reassess how I view goalkeepers. It's not about making brilliant saves all the time. It's kind of like defenders with last ditch sliding tackles. The truly special ones don't need to do that too often because their anticipation, positional play and fundamentals are so sound they rarely have to. Hansen and Van Dijk would very rarely ever have to make a slide tackle, and Alisson doesn't often have to show off his acrobatic skills. I’ll give you an example. Look at J…

He’s a weird one isn’t he? He scores goals and when he’s on his game his performances are top quality too. But those top performances aren’t that frequent even if the goals are. His form in the second part of the season wasn’t great at all and eventually the goals dried up too. It could be that he just never regained his top form after an injury he picked up, but I think it may have more to do with the arrival of Luis Diaz and the successful adaption to the false nine role by Sadio Mané. He had time to get his sharpness back after the injury but he was never able to get a run of games to do it because others were in better form. Jota just found it…

Up until January Mo was unbelievable. Some of the goals he scored were out of this world. The one against City at Anfield might be goal of the season. The one he scored not long after at Watford might have been even better but didn’t have the same gravitas because of the opponent. He was on an absolute tear though until AFCON derailed him. Since then the goals have dried up, which is a shame because he was on course to break all kinds of records. There was actually a brief time when I was wondering if I needed to rethink my take that Luis Suarez is the best player I've ever seen in the famous Red. I'm no longer wondering about that, which is a shame. …

Along with Virgil I’m probably Joel’s number one fan and have been for years. No-one loves him more than me, not even his own wife. I’ve said on numerous occasions he’s the best centre back in the world not named Van Dijk but I am definitely biased. He’s just great though isn’t he? For the first half of the season I think he was our best centre half, but as the season wore on normal service was resumed and Virg became the top man again. Even I'll concede that. Joel has had to split his playing time with Ibou Konate which may have been a little frustrating for him at times but probably contributed to him going through the entire season injury free. Imagine that…

Jurgen Klopp often says that he should have played Origi far more than he has, and that’s definitely true. He should have started more games but you can see how difficult that is with the players he has ahead of him. Why he hasn’t been brought off the bench more is the question I would ask. When he plays, he scores. He might not do much else and that’s why he’s always behind the other forwards we have, but I know one thing; if we go into the last ten minutes of a game needing a goal there is nobody - literally nobody - I’d rather have on the pitch in those closing stages. When we drew with Spurs at Anfield Origi was left kicking his heels on the be…

What a signing. He might be my favourite player already as I am a sucker for a South American named Luis. He reminds me of Suarez actually, even though he’s a very different type of player. Their styles are not alike but the way they play the game is. With some players you’d say they play with hunger. Suarez and Diaz don’t seem hungry, they seem absolutely starving. Diaz is a fighter without actually, literally fighting, if that makes sense. He isn’t aggressive and I can’t recall seeing him squaring up to anyone. We’ve seen none of the shenanigans we saw from Suarez so far either, but he’s definitely scrappy and has that ‘street player’ attitude. …

Another great season from the best right back on the planet. It’s incredible that there are those who doubt him and still question his defensive qualities. Trent defends really well. It’s just that he’s out of this world in the attacking side of the game and when you’re that good going forward there’s always a lazy narrative that follows you around. Every attacking full back gets saddled with it and any defensive mistake is highlighted as evidence that “see, he can’t defend”. Newsflash; full backs who are crap going forward also occasionally make mistakes or will allow crosses to come in too easily. It’s part of being a full back. Sometimes a winger will go p…

I've been trying to wait until there was some fitness news before posting this thread. But I can't concentrate on work and I've had to fuck it off, so thought it was time to post this as my head is already in Paris even if I don't leave till tomorrow. So I think it's easy to think these are shite (or at least shite for them), but they are comfortable Spanish champions and have beaten both city and Chelsea this season, which we've failed to do without pens across 6 matches this season. So I don't expect it to be easy. There's been a lot of talk about how this game will be won in midfield. I can see that point, but it's not a point of view I subscribe to. Madri…

Well here we go. This season has been great no matter what happens Sunday. Diaz gave us the extra body we needed in January and I'll be forever grateful to spurs for forcing our hand, which has maybe created the chance to win the fucking lot. Wolves are shite. I just want to get that out first. And at our best we wipe the floor with them and I don't think we're under pressure, so I'm sure we'll do what needs to be done. Team selection is hard to predict, but klopp insinuated on one of the interviews I heard that everyone is back - I'm guessing that doesn't include fab. So my guess is we'll pick the team for Paris minus fab. So in that situation there's only o…

Not had the spare time to get to any games this season. Realise this one is likely to be slotted in right at the end of the run-in, so tickets may be scarce if at all. If there are any available for this match though, I’d be very grateful for one.

I can't believe we have to play again on Tuesday. The schedule is just mental and the players don't get a chance to enjoy their win. Regardless of what happens at West ham today with city, I think we have no choice but to change a most people around. We looked tired and some players are carrying knocks. So as a bit of a guess of the lineups. Ali, Trent, Kostas, Gomez, konate, milner, Jones, Elliot, firmino, origi, minamino. And score... Fucking no idea, but these can be got at if you catch them on the right day, but obviously if we change as many as I think, we'll be disjointed. 0-3 origi, Elliot, konate.

So a rerun of the milk cup. I've felt as the season has progressed we've become a better team than Chelsea. When we played them in August, they gave us a terrible time till the sending off. They started the season well too and looked really strong. By January, I felt we had the upper hand in that one despite it being a draw. And we got the better of them even if it was pens in the milk cup. Our preparations for this game couldn't be more different. They've got all their ownership difficulties and are struggling for form and the defensive solidity they built to win the CL last year. We on the other hand are still in with a shout of all 4 trophies and a 90+ points season. …

I'm aware of how much of a long shot this is. My nephew uses his dad's best mates season ticket as he had two. He sadly passed away in December from covid. His widow was happy for my nephew to carry on using the ticket. Jack went to every round including the non glory ones like Shrewsbury. Now she has suddenly demanded the ticket back saying she wants to go to the final. Obviously I'm sympathetic in a way but also her husband would be fuming, he treated my nephew like his own son. So now my 17 year old nephew is heart broken and ticketless. I know how hard spares are to get and also that the ballot hasn't been done yet. But it does no harm to ask

I think it’s obvious to see that Hendo (I like him as a player and as everyone has said he is a nice lad) but he’s not up to the job as captain. I said it to a few as we walked out of the Arsenal 3-3. No one has taken responsibility on that pitch. No one has taken a foul, re grouped the lads, got them going again etc. I didn’t see anything from him in the final to suggest this otherwise and I think this needs addressing in the team in the summer. He’s lost out the England captaincy to that prick Kane and that itself speaks volumes. My choice personally is VVD and I think his displays have said that too since joining but I’m open to their suggestions also. …

So the league is a little more distant than it was. But I don't see the need to be giving up just yet. It's not been a good weekend and city have cruised it today, but it only takes one slip and we are back in. They now face the rest of the season playing Ake or fernandinho at centre back, so there's a chance right there in each game they play. I think we need some freshness on Tuesday, minds as much as legs. I don't know if there been news on Kostas but I thought he was limping and holding his hamstring walking off yesterday. So for the team. Ali, Gomez, matip, vvd, robbo, fab, milner, keita, mane, origi, Jota. Villa have picked up a few points …

I've not had chance to sort this thread earlier, had a hectic few days since the semi - and being an old cunt mostly carrying a hangover from Tuesday night. I'm taking the little one to this (not so little now at 11 and as tall as her Ma), so it is adding to the anticipation as she's very excited. Spurs are a funny team. They seem to move between shite and pretty good - maybe that's exactly what a 4th-6th team is. I think they will play deep and use son & kulisevski to attack the gaps between the full backs and centre backs, with Kane doing his number 10 type stuff. Obviously we often look vulnerable to certain teams that play like this with the high line…
