Evening Ed002, hope you've had a good Saturday mate. Just wondering if there is any chance, any slight possibility that something happens with us on a new player arriving please? Anything currently being discussed? I'm assuming with a few days left it's looking very unlikely.

{Ed002's Note - I have explained the Bissouma situation. I think it would be tough to do anything with the likes of Toure or Sarr.

As long as it's premier league side, Liverpool have done much better with buying players from premier league sides than abroad in the Klopp/ Edwards era.

Yeah, Alison, Matip, Fabs and Salah were all complete flops!

Ghostgoal.

What about Bobby as well? Utter wastrel.

{Ed0666's Note - tut tut tut

Klopp didn’t sign Bobby.

According to ‘Team Talk’ we have made an enquiry about Bissouma with a £40m bid to follow if Brighton are open minded.

It would go against what Klopp said yesterday. He suggested Elliott and Jones were the replacements for Wijnaldum.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Aug 2021 10:09:14
Never trust what a manager says in a conference. I still think we will get one player in. Could be Bissouma, who knows?

Agree11 Disagree0

28 Aug 2021 10:09:28
No chance! Outgoings if anyone wants them!
Can’t see anyone coming in!
Priority will be keeping lads fit and injury free I think!

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Aug 2021 10:17:04
Jones was always going to be Gini replacement Harvey is just a added bonus lad's.

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Aug 2021 10:36:06
I fear Jones playing time will already be limited, he is behind Elliot already. If Bissouma came in Jones would be limited to the cup games unfortunately. Upto him though I hope he can force his way into the PL team.
Fabs
Hendo
Thiago
Keita
Elliot
Milner
Jones
OX.

So Elliott and Jones are replacements for Lallana, Gini, Shaqiri and also expected to fill in for Salah, Mane and Keita during AFCON?
Come on guys, our squad is 2 players short. Please don't be that blind.

Indian Buzzer - weird how we jump straight to hyperbole isn’t it?

The AFCON is two games, Palace and Brentford. Games we’d likely earmark as opportunities to use the squad.

So possible attackers in those games - Jota, Firmino, Elliott, Taki, Ox, Origi and maybe Gordon.

We could easily go 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 in those game.

Midfield options in those games - Fabinho, Thiago, Henderson, Milner, Jones and Elliott.

3-5-2

Alisson

Gomez - Virg - Ibou

Trent - Hendo - Fabinho - Thiago - Robbo

Jota and one of Bobby, Taki, Elliott,


Two games. I think we will cope.

Agree8 Disagree0

28 Aug 2021 11:11:58
I forgot about Lallana but being fair IB besides Gini the rest hardly played. What about the best finisher we have, Jota is he going to the AFCON as well IB?

There is no way we are 2 players short, our defence is by a mile the best in the world with top quality back ups. We have a front 4 now and if for example we had 2 out I would be very happy with say Jota and Mane up front as a pair.

Midfield is where we could maybe do with a top quality addition but if we can’t get the right guy I would wait a year and get Bellingham. I also think Keita will pleasantly surprise people this season.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Aug 2021 11:33:53
WhyOwhy, what if Bobby or Jota are injured when Salah and Mane go off to AFCON? Klopp' team selections over the last two seasons show he does not have much faith in Taki or Origi (who can't even make our second 11 in the preseason friendlies) .
SO what's changed all of a sudden that makes them the answer to our depth issues up front?
Also, why have u changed the formation? Klopp will never go 3 at the back and he certainly won't play 4-4-2.
2 games is 6 points, and with the competition in front of us, EVERY POINT MATTERS.

Agree7 Disagree0

28 Aug 2021 11:35:57
So people are actually naming keita and ox as players who chip in and help out, add matip to that. I'm pray I'm wrong but experience saysxotherwise.

Agree4 Disagree0

28 Aug 2021 11:40:12
Gonna be a lot of egg on faces here if we actually sign someone 😂.

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Aug 2021 12:06:49
Yes Indian whatever, if all our players get injured we will be short.
That being said I’d suggest a squad of bionic supermen who cannot be injured. Like Tony Starks Iron Legion.
That’s probably the only solution.

28 Aug 2021 12:13:11
Port Red.
Short memory you lad. Fairly certain Matip got us to two CL finals.

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Aug 2021 12:15:40
I think if we sell Origi or Minamino we will sign an attacker. If they both stay, we're probably finished in the market now.

Agree4 Disagree0

28 Aug 2021 12:20:23
Indian Buzzer - what if there is an outbreak of a world C.V. and there is no AFCON or even any football at all. We don’t have money to spend and we certainly don’t have money to spend based on people with too much time on their hands trying to imagine 5he worst case they can think of.

The very worst case is we lose two games - we can live with that. Move on.

Agree4 Disagree0

28 Aug 2021 12:47:00
Keita everpresent so far in fairness.

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Aug 2021 13:11:37
I don't understand demanding we replace players that could hardly get minutes. Lallana and Shaq hardly played the seasons before they departed.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Aug 2021 13:12:39
Keita ever present and playing the Gini role absolutely superbly.

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Aug 2021 15:46:31
I think the injuries last season have got in people heads! All of a sudden we need world class cover being paid top dollar to cover just in case Bobby or Jota get injured whilst the African players are at AFCON? What if they don’t get injured? Which is actually much, much, much more likely.
You have to be lucky with injuries to win things. It’s the same with every team.

Mad such a weak side has such an excellent team out and such a strong bench.

“BuT wHaT iF tHeY alL gEt InJuRed? ”.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Aug 2021 17:33:28
They are not replacements!

There are what’s left

U think Jones is a track back? Dominate midfield against top sides

Henderson fab an Thiago literally need to play a lot of games.
Elliot is a kid he needs time

The rest …. Bang average an liabilities.

28 Aug 2021 17:41:11
Keita has been moderate, let’s calm down with the superb shouts now. Today will be his test if he plays.

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Aug 2021 20:52:04
Lallana has been gone for over a year now so not sure what he has to do with anything here.

Agree3 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - he didn’t have much to do when he was here

29 Aug 2021 00:23:00
Elliot doesn't look out of place in the team.

Agree3 Disagree0

29 Aug 2021 00:42:16
Indian Buzzer - are you really suggesting we need to sign someone as cover on the off chance that either Bobby or Jota are injured for the 2 games, TWO games, that we're without Salah or Mane? Seriously?
Should we sign a third left back just in case Robbo stubs his toe the same week Kostas has the sniffles?

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Aug 2021 05:44:12
Same old conversation regarding AFCON and the need to buy players to cover. The club won't be concerned, nor should we, move on!

Agree2 Disagree0

29 Aug 2021 08:10:17
In terms of numbers Thiago and Minamino replace Lallana and Shaqiri. Elliott and Jones replace Gini. Were not short anywhere now numbers wise.
