Liverpool Football Club - 2020/2021

80 points could win the league this season

Iā€™d say 85 or so will definitely win it

That system with an attacking emphasis might be just what they need to kick start a run. Think they started all 4 away at City.

They dropped a lot of needless points late on against Newcastle, West Ham, Palace and even Wolves the last day. Could easily be top. Gareth Bale hasnā€™t done much yet, thought heā€™d be more influential.

They had just the right balance there for a few games. Jose went over the edge though after throwing away the 3-0 lead at West Ham and itā€™s been grim ever since. This tactic of playing for the 1-0 win after scoring first early and giving the opposition the ball all the time is grand if you have the Internazionale defence of the 1960ā€™s or the George Graham back four 4 at Woolwich, not with this Spurs defence. Jose has no Plan B and not playing to the strengths of the team.

He will win ye a trophy

Bale has picked up a succession of niggly injuries the odd time that he has played. Itā€™s real Sick Note Anderton stuff.

Thatā€™s a great outcome. Rumours was two months. Of course heā€™ll be injured again shortly afterwards

Theyā€™ll have to buyā€¦ Philips wonā€™t play again and Rhys is currently not up to it.

They wonā€™t buy.

They let a centre half go in the summer. Leaving them with three first squad centre halves and Fabinho. Those three first squad centre halves are now all injured.

Ape.

January isnt a great market plus ye will get absolutely gouged because of the necessity

Maybe getting a 30 odd year old stop gap might not be the worst shout. Someone like Jonny Evanā€™s short term

Thatā€™s all they needā€¦ Experience to sit in next to Fabā€¦

Win win. 30+ get a nice 1 year deal. Chance of glory.

You could pay 50% more for an actual long term target like Upermercano

I think theyā€™ll have toā€¦ Itā€™s some waste having Fab back there also. Him and Thiago could be a great pairing with Henderson /Winj/Milner/Jones slotting in as the third .

Fabinho led there tonight. He was awesome. Hard to understand why Klopp was so reluctant to pick him at the start.

Henderson hasnā€™t the artillery to be the one to break the lines, in my opinion. A willing lad, 100% guy but not a back 8 splitter.

Heā€™s such a good player. Missing him from midfield all the same.

Fabinho is better at centre half. Heā€™s not a creative midfielder and Henderson is grand playing that defensive midfield role.

Henderson Milner and Jones were all great defensive midfielders last night. Newcastle only had a couple of proper chances.
