Our midfield

In that run towards the end of the covid season, we dropped a little deeper which meant Phillips was slightly less exposed, I think alissons starting position was also a little higher, which means the pass to break through needs to be better. We clearly felt we didn't need any of that on Monday as vvd would sort it all, although of course we don't know when Gomez pulled out and if there was much time time to prepare. That goal they scored was as clear as day would happen. Phillips has no place in any team playing a high line. 

Harshly but fairly,Philips has no place in a team with major trophy expectations.

He'd have looked ok in that Leicester team that won the league a few years back. The lad can pass a bit, intercept and reads the game well and head the shit out of anything. But he can't run and aside from weirdly in the San Siro has never shown the ability to turn.

He'd do a decent job at a team like Everton to be fair to him.

Excl. News Naby #Keita: He is unhappy with his current situation in Liverpool. There were talks about a contract extension but they have stopped now. His departure is possible regardless of Thiago and Oxlade-Chamberlain. But early stage. Talks will take place. #LFC @SkySportDE

 

 

Should have happened 2 months back and a replacement brought in. Up there with one of the worst transfer all time, leave for peanuts,big fee and big wages. Offered next to fuck all 4 games out of 5 he actually played.

Get him gone and get some good cunt in. Easy.

And as expected the weird world of African football twitter blaming Klopp and Liverpool for disrespecting him and African footballers.

Who gives a fuck. No one cares about what the African media says. 

 

Just fuck Keita out of the club tomorrow and get someone else in.

Would be good if he was indeed agitating for a move - get him bin bagged and get an improvement in....someone that Klopp trusts to start over a 37 year old Milner and a kid or as a better option to bring on as a sub than an injured Hendo.

[HBenn]

Have there been any training pics this week?

 

Think the Echo said yesterday that there weren't any all last week which was probably because of all of the injuries.

I was absolutely waiting for that last sentence. The start of the post was a great point,as often is, but any chance to have a passive aggressive dig at Hendo is never left untouched.

Passive aggressive?  Don’t be silly. Everyone knows my opinion on Henderson as a footballer.  Because of that  I do think it’s worth pointing out his value off the pitch.

No value on the pitch?

it's interesting they talk about the partnership between umbro and adidas as there were times in the 70s clemence wore a yellow jersey and that was adidas, with the red LFC umbro shorts. i miss the days of the keepers wearing the same shorts as the outfield players. it'll obviously never happen again as it just gives the club something else to sell.

Not at all....it actually narks me.

 

All the what would be great images of him lifting the big pots and all you can see is the frigging base!!

Never really noticed before but I suspect it's going to annoy me in the future.  You'd think we'd have someone on the staff whose job is to stop this kind of sloppiness.

Another reason we should never, ever wear Adidas kit ever again. They screwed the club over too many times.

I love adidas gear - but they deffo have a chequered history with the club.

I don't mind seeing the fucking base of PL or big ears at the end of this season.
