Three P’s Harvey Elliot which is what will happen, or Gravenberch.
Alternatively, Gakpo drops into mid if Nunez comes on if we’re sticking with 4-3-3.

23rd December 2023 at 6:38 pm #211500That would mean Jones to DM and he is much better pressing further up. Don’t just look at what Endo can and cannot do, look at what he enables his team mates to do also.

23rd December 2023 at 6:46 pm #211502Three P’s he’s been run over mate. He’s a good lad, but he’s struggling to keep up.

23rd December 2023 at 6:47 pm #211503Wish I had Jim Beglin instead of Carragher.

23rd December 2023 at 6:50 pm #211504Our front players just aren’t good enough. I concede it would be a good game for Nunez to come on with his pace and he’s good as an impact player.

23rd December 2023 at 7:03 pm #211506That was unforgivable not to score then. Dear oh dear.

23rd December 2023 at 7:35 pm #211507Could do with Jota back. He’s probably the best finisher at the club. But the general record of our front players has been poor this season.
Both sides today just not good enough. I think we’re all waiting for City to get De Bruyne back and normal business to be resumed.

23rd December 2023 at 7:39 pm #211509Well, could have been loads worse and we could have lost and it would have upset us and our Christmas, so from that POV as well as our strive in the 2nd half, we can’t be too disappointed.
Missing a Mane beast and a Finisher coming off the bench to find a winner; Shaqiri, Minamino, Origi. I’m actually delighted we went at this Arsenal team considered at Genuine Title Contenders.
Need to get back to winning ways and try and stay in the mix.

23rd December 2023 at 7:46 pm #211511I missed the entire 2nd half, so when I speak, it’s about everything before that.
I don’t celebrate draws, in almost all circumstances, and I wont start now. I know that people might have accepted a draw before the match and that can be pragmatic to some and perhaps just arguably so. I don’t agree with it though. having seen most of the first half though, I just don’t feel that we’re the best team in the PL now. I think we’re going backwards.
I’m not here to start a blame game and I’m definitely not going to say that we need to never play anyone. I can’t tell if it’s a case of me being wrong about certain players, or the possibility that some may just be a bit out of form.
My main example would be Diaz. There are people out there who have been saying that he wasn’t good enough for a while. Like, I really have to start doubting myself here because I saw so much in this guy. I also saw a wealth of really great stuff from Nunez… and what’s going on now? They are just nothing now.
It’s difficult not to make this about me given that we’re talking about my own failings in spotting weaknesses in these players. If there were 2 player who I thought (besides our new signings of course) who would really shine this season, it would have been those 2.
Arsenal are the better side and they will finish ahead of us.
I’m a bit bitter about it because we’ve chased city so hard on several other seasons and not got there. 97, 99 points or whatever it was. It wont take anything even close to those seasons. we don’t need to be anywhere near as good as then, and the PL is ours but…Arsenal are the best team in the PL RIGHT NOW and they are gonna do it. They wont bee 99 or 97 points. They just need to be the best and failing the season before will stand to their mentality this time around when they realise what I’ve just said.
depressed Liverpool fan out π

23rd December 2023 at 8:14 pm #211512I think we do need ‘A’ signing in Jan and one Loan player to support us. Players pick up knocks etc that lead to the sidelines and lengthy spells out (for one or two (or three!)).
Maybe one or two also need re-coaching and strengthening on their ability and what they can bring to the Team.

23rd December 2023 at 8:22 pm #211513Each to their own. Personally, I feel this draw is a Positive Result. We don’t have to bring up one certain team that supposedly is in waiting to go for this ‘mad run’ as T1000, regardless of their good track record.
It’s a highly competitive league better than ever with Teams Capable of pulling off shocks and surprises.
Two teams occupying the Top End of the Table. Liver are in rebuilding (let’s be honest). A bit of contextualizing; considering where we were and the fact that we only have 1 defeat to our name and sit just 1 point behind the leaders after 18 matches is a Glass Half Full for Sure.
We’ve dropped points sure; but there were matches where we definitely didn’t deserve all 3 points like Newcastle and Palace.
A win hopefully against Burnley and that would in my view be a very good completion of the first half of the Season.

24th December 2023 at 6:16 am #211516In view of these constant red cards, I think the laws should be changed so that when someone is red carded he is sent off with a 3 game suspension as per usual but a sub should be allowed to take his place after all it’s not the teams fault, not to mention this would also not impact much on the game as it’s still 11 against 11 and a fair contest

24th December 2023 at 10:47 am #211517Canβt believe some are questioning endo? He was excellent yesterday and againest West Ham. Heβs finding his feet. Thought we were unlucky yday. Good game played with intensity
Arsenal are a very good side now. Took me a while to be convinced but they are much more solid with rice in there.
Liverpool sold their captain, Milner fabhino etc. huge core of the dressing room gone and brought in 4 midfielders. We are in the semi final of a cup, lsdt 16 Europa and one point behind the league leaders. We are doing much better then people thought and we can still get much better
Thought we were very good yesterday. All about top 4 for me. City still strong favourites as they will get going very skin.

24th December 2023 at 11:11 am #211518I definitely dont agree with the sub for red idea. That would basically make teams commit loads of red card offenses. It’d turn the game into a dangerous farce.
However, I am in favour of bringing in a sin-bin.going back to the match. I missed so much because my streams were a disaster… but wow, that was obviously a penalty. It is the most obvious deliberate handball that I have seen for a long time.
whilst I still think arsenal are better than Liverpool on the whole, that was nothing but robbery.

24th December 2023 at 12:25 pm #211519Stole this from a Pool fan commenting on the BBC Web and realistically, I’m inclined to agree:
“2nd for Christmas. Every Liverpool fan would have taken that back in August. Main goal is getting back into champions league and win the europa. Semis of league Cup too. This Liverpool team is 12 months ahead of schedule
I’ll take that so far”

24th December 2023 at 12:36 pm #211520Kosta’s unfortunately taken a blow from yesterday. Maybe a March or an Easter return if we’re lucky. He was settling in well as well for Andy Robertson. Hopefully, Robertson is back in the new year as with Jota.
We need to look at loans or prospects in coming days. Not a bad turnaround in essence for the first half of the season. I still say we need a striker, a defensive midfielder and a defender to keep us at our levels. A job for this summer for sure.
We need to reinforce some serious ambition in the Transfer market and be bold in approaching top players.

24th December 2023 at 2:31 pm #211521Besides a CDM, I dont think we need anyone. The issue for me seems to be how they are knitting together.
and ya, Im very happy to be where we are. You could say we were robbed by VAR against spurs and arsenal but there were some late wins in there with performances that didn’t exactly demand a win… so, I’ll note it and ask why the hell VAR is so ineptly executed but all in all, I don’t think we’re playing well enough to expect us to be top.
liverpool have got to improve.
