A lot of rumours floating around that Alisson has a hamstring injury.

Big, big loss if true.

c_matthews94

1.) 16 Feb 2024 17:42:23
Agree there, Matthews. Especially with their free kick bombardment.


2.) 16 Feb 2024 19:30:06
Respected journalists are also reporting the same thing so appears to be true. Kelleher was expected to start Carabao Cup final next Saturday and also the FA Cup game against Southampton on 28th February. So if we can get through tomorrow and Wednesday game against Luton with wins we should be alright. That’s only if Allison is back fit before the end of the month because 10th March against City is HUGE. Just trying to add a positive spin on some bad news. Let’s wait to hear the extent of the injury.


3.) 16 Feb 2024 19:34:43
Let’s hope it’s not serious.


4.) 16 Feb 2024 19:37:14
Yeah, been confirmed. Alisson has done his hamstring, and is getting tests to see severity and length out.

Seriously, though, how does a Keeper do his hammy? Did he run to the rubbishter and pull it on the way, or what?


5.) 16 Feb 2024 19:42:53
When people were trying to sell Kelleher last year as he was too good to be second choice - I said then and repeat now this is exactly why you have a top level back up for every position.


6.) 16 Feb 2024 20:09:10
Yes Alison is out and didn't travel so staying to get treatment on his hammy so keller will play and Wed nite also.


7.) 16 Feb 2024 22:04:37
Yeah, we seem to have a lot of players getting hamstring injuries again. A bit like when Klopp first came in. Szobo, Trent, Alisson, Salah - although his was when away at AFCON.

Not the best time right now.

Very tough game tomorrow at Brentford, where Klopp has never yet won.


8.) 17 Feb 2024 01:24:29
@KBL, yeah I spotted that trend of 3 or 4 hamstrings in a squad of 30 or so every 8 or 9 years straight away . I think the blame is definitely the way FSG have set up the medical department.

Being a bit more serious I’d prefer the bad luck occurs now against Brentford, Luton and Southampton rather than the last 4 or 5 games of the season when we could, potentially, be at the pointy end of the PL and in two cup finals.

{Ed001's Note - hamstrings are rarely down to luck. Soft tissue injuries are usually caused by a lack of flexibility or fitness or both. Alisson has had flu, it is little wonder he is susceptible to an injury while coming back to full fitness, that is always a risk.

Ligament injuries are a different thing, but I would have to suspect the modern pitches are a big part of the problem, which is why the woman's game has suddenly been plagued with them as they have got more professional. Modern pitches are much harder than a normal old-school pitch. There is no give in them to protect ligaments from damage. The reason why I say it has caused the plague of them in the women's game is because as they get more professionalised, the increase of modern pitches has spread. They were playing on Sunday league style pitches until recently.}


9.) 17 Feb 2024 08:40:34
Sorry Ed01, just to clarify, I agree that hamstring injuries are not down to luck - I was more referring to having a group of them in such a condensed space of time. It is slightly easier on the nerves if it is not in the final stages of the season when, hopefully, we are qualified for two finals and we need four points from our last two league games to win the league.

{Ed001's Note - but surely if getting them is not down to luck, then it is not about luck that there is so many at one time?}


10.) 17 Feb 2024 09:20:53
When was the last four week period when we had two recurrences (Dom and TAA) and a couple of other players, (Mo and Ali) all at once with the same injury source?

It’s common to have a constant turnover of injuries in a squad of 25+ players, particularly playing at the level of intensity that the squad is playing at but I genuinely think that it is unfortunate coincidence - bad luck - to have such a spate of the same injury type. At least I can’t remember when we had so many f the same type of injury in such a relatively short space of time.


11.) 17 Feb 2024 10:22:26
Ed is absolutely correct. As a result of sickness, you will have raised inflammatory markers, increased neural tension, inactivity, dehydration and subsequent increased muscle tightness. Goalkeepers have to perform a lot of explosive movements and short sprints to shut space down, so they should not be considered immune to muscle injuries. In particular Alisson, as that is probably one of the aspects of his game he excels at.

I do wonder with the number of hamstrings injuries we are seeing in the game, whether there is a connection to neural tension problems that are often caused by postural issues. Things from gaming, oversized furniture that does facilitate correct ergonomics, increased sitting through travel and reduced recovery time. I think this season with increased injury times may contribute also. Players are so fine tuned through sports science to get maximal output for 90-95 minutes. Go beyond that and they are entering the ‘red zone’ in terms of risk. Previous generations may not have played the game at the same speed, but endurance and durability was much better. They could cope with heavy playing surfaces and poorer conditions. Apologies for the long winded reply.

Cheers.

Cracking post Greggers.


13.) 17 Feb 2024 16:47:57
@Greggers, i summarise it for you:
Alison is getting old, time to find a replacement.


14.) 17 Feb 2024 17:12:53
@ Excellent post Greggers, have to say the description of the residual effects of sickness also sounds like what happens to me when mu wife tells me my mother in law is coming to visit!


15.) 18 Feb 2024 20:32:04
Great post Greggets
I remember reading somewhere a previous Liverpool player kept getting hamstring injuries
Everything was explored and they couldn’t find out why

Until someone looked at the car he was driving and his position in the car
Changed car- problem solved.


 

 

28 Sep 2022 16:45:27
Would James Ward-Prowse make the grain at Liverpool?

I am not saying he will solve all our midfielder problems, but we need at least 2 Midfielders bought in next summer and he would be a solid addition.

Premier League experience, captain of a good PL side and English although I don't think he would cost more than 50 mill (maybe wishful thinking on my part! ) .

Personally there are a few others I would prefer but I haven't seen much mention of his name.

Realistic Ed001/ 02?

c_matthews94

{Ed002's Note - James Ward-Prowse (CM) Spurs made an approach to Southampton and were told he is not for sale, although they remain interested. Newcastle have a declared interest but are likely not a viable option - the same with West Ham. If the player has ambitions the club are unable to meet, they might let him leave for a (very) significant fee. Not first choice for Manchester United or Manchester City but both could be interested.}


1.) 29 Sep 2022 01:06:21
Interesting that the most famous 'one club players' are Stevie G of Liverpool, John Terry of Chelsea, both big clubs and understandable, and James Ward Prowse and Matt Le Tissier of Saints. There must be something in the (sea) water down there.


2.) 29 Sep 2022 06:54:30
James Maddison must be worth a look. With all that is going on at Leicester surely he would be looking to leave. Certainly has the creativeness that sometimes we lack and knows where the goal is also english.


3.) 29 Sep 2022 09:15:14
James Maddison has an attitude that stinks and loves to party more than he loves to put in the work, according to Ed001 amongst others.

No thank you.


4.) 29 Sep 2022 17:40:09
Thank you for the detailed response Ed002! Have a good day.


5.) 30 Sep 2022 09:51:58
One club players. Didn't Stevie G play a season in the US?

{Ed002's Note - Yes.}


6.) 30 Sep 2022 10:08:52
I think at 27 James Ward Prowse cannot really be considered a one club player just yet.


7.) 30 Sep 2022 15:41:47
Stevie G as much as he would probably like to think so is not a one club man.


 

 

12 Apr 2022 12:07:09
I feel like Nkunku was made for Liverpool.

Any realistic chance Ed's? Have we watched him at all?

c_matthews94

{Ed002's Note - Christopher Nkunku (AM/LW/RW) Manchester City have been told by RBL that the player is not for sale. Chelsea and Real Madrid have watched him and he is on their respective lists of potential wingers as all both sides look to shuffle what they have - but he is not top of the list for either - although both are attracted by his versatility, but not the €70M plus asking price. Arsenal provide a very much less attractive solution but have been looking to him for some time - but they won't be an option. Manchester United looked at him as a potential addition to replace Mata and Lingard but with Fernandes and the emergance of Elanga they must address other priorities first. PSG have been speaking with Pini about resigning Nkunku but Pini will want guarantees knowing that PSG are looking at making use of some talented youngsters they have. RBL will resist a move, particularly with growing interest in Szoboszlai.}


1.) 12 Apr 2022 14:40:18
Thank you Ed.

Just to be clear, as we are not mentioned in your summary, Liverpool are not interested? I assume we'd need to move someone on to get him but it seems that even if we did we wouldn't go in for him.

{Ed002's Note - I am astounded that it is not clear.}


2.) 12 Apr 2022 15:50:08
Must just be then Ed.


 

 

01 Oct 2020 19:44:00
Neil Jones reporting that Shaqiri is left out the squad due to transfer reasons, not fitness. 2 clubs interested apparently.

Do you happen to know the teams in question at all Ed002?

c_matthews94

{Ed002's Note - I don't know. Seville interest has gone - Galatasaray want a loan with an option to buy. Interest of Lazio is possible as they have been unable to agree a price for their first-choice player.


1.) 01 Oct 2020 20:00:08
Thank you Ed. There hasn’t been any interest from the premier league then?

If we are to sell him I would prefer it to be abroad!

{Ed002's Note - Are these Premier League clubs?}


2.) 01 Oct 2020 20:12:55
Hi Eds,

With a loan to buy, is there any loan fee involved or just the final agreed fee at the end?

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - There would typically be a loan fee.}


3.) 01 Oct 2020 22:11:07
But if he goes will they still look to sell Wilson or keep him as cover until next summer? Or January?


4.) 02 Oct 2020 01:56:06
Cover for who? Elliott, Diogo, Minamino and Origi as our substitute forwards, or Thiago, Keita, Jones, and Milner as midfielders (Assuming Fabinho, Hendo and Gini even start)?

We can afford to sell both and more, although I hope Grujic doesn’t leave permanently, he looks like he’s going to develop into a classy player.


5.) 02 Oct 2020 05:58:33
We have plenty of cover without Wilson.

He needs to leave.


6.) 02 Oct 2020 07:17:25
Wilson is awful, nowhere near good enough level for us. Has to be moved on, was annoyed he played last night but guess shop window.


7.) 02 Oct 2020 08:29:21
If that was a shop window job Dom mate I don't think anybody will buy him lol. On a serious note, although he's nowhere near good enough for this team, good luck to the lad wherever he may end up.


8.) 02 Oct 2020 10:33:33
him playing last night was an Edwards masterclass, he can now demand an extra £10m as he started a competitive game for us ;)


9.) 02 Oct 2020 19:37:12
Good luck absolutely Salah. What u mean Wyred?


10.) 03 Oct 2020 00:30:01
We've just made roughly 35mil off Brewster and Hoever, 2 players who hardly played a handful of games for us and never needed for league and CL squads. Wilson and grujic are also players we've never needed in any recent seasons so if we can make 35-40mill between selling both then that's 70 or 80 million incoming for players that were never involved for us. With the quality players like minamino, jota and thiago recently coming in then those players are even more unnecessary for us. Those 4 sales roughly equal what we invested in minamino, thiago and jota which is an incredible upgrade on strenght. Lovren along with Shaqiri could earn us along the lines of 100mil from sales this summer where we've not lost any first team regular and only players who's loss doesn't weaken us one bit. Incredible business and the likes of Brewster or Hoever may be keen to return down the line if they grow into top players.

We should not be complaining at any business or questioning the decisions or player valuations we make. We nearly always get these calls bang on so I'l support any activity or lack of that happens until the window closes.


 

 

18 Sep 2020 15:07:33
The latest rumour from the Daily Mail is Ki-Jana Hoever is off to Wolves for 10 million.

Another academy prospect looks to be gone.

Real shame if so, thought he would be a great CB for us in the future under the guidance of his fellow Dutch international Van Dijk.

c_matthews94

1.) 18 Sep 2020 15:49:48
Apparently real interest in Jota coming the other way.


2.) 18 Sep 2020 15:57:04
I think I would be *okay* with that Ginger. What about you?


3.) 18 Sep 2020 16:01:36
Sounds fine to me 😜.


4.) 19 Sep 2020 04:02:50
How many other academy prospects have we lately moved on which has proven bad judgement? Camacho, bobby Duncan are the only ones in recent years with similar prospect to Hoever so we're hardly letting them slip away wrongly. Hoever could bring in 10mil for a player yet to even be involved in more than a few less important games. Trent and Joe are early 20s and occupy his positions so why expect him to grow into a star when there's little room for him to play regularly for years ahead. If his fee is similar to what kostas cost it's clear that we've added a player who's far more proven and useful for the years ahead. If clyne and lovren were the current starters in those positions as we had 2 or 3 years ago then that would be different to how we are shaping up currently. Also why it's stupid to keep grujic when he's so far back in pecking order, if a fair offer is there we have to see the sense that cashing in can be wise especially for a prospect yet to show any convincing progress as yet.

I would highly recommend all football fans (Not just Liverpool) watch the show "Anne" which recently aired on ITV.

It tell the story of the legendary Anne Williams, whom I am sure most Liverpool fans have heard of, and her fight for justice after suffering the loss of her son at the Hillsborough tragedy.

It's truly heartbreaking and should change a lot of opposing fans ridiculous opinions on the matter.

What a woman and what an inspiration.

Remember, don't buy the s*n lads and most importantly,

Justice for the 97.

c_matthews94

{Ed025's Note - it was excellent matthews, maxine peake was brilliant in the lead role and it would bring tears to a glass eye mate, very emotive and at times a hard watch as it brought home some terrible memories though..


1.) 07 Jan 2022 20:53:43
There is also a documentary on her narrated by maxine peake.

How no one has been held accountable for those events is nothing short of baffling!

{Ed025's Note - still a cover up of epic proportions WYred, and you cant tell me that thatcher was not involved either mate..


2.) 07 Jan 2022 21:44:26
Definitely goes to the top ed025, they hoped if they suppressed it enough they'd give up. Unfortunately they underestimated people like Anne and I hope one day justice is provided to these families. How can it be proved that hundreds of statements were altered and then a trial was thrown out. It reeks of corruption.

{Ed025's Note - yeah mate they underestimated the tenacity and fortitude of the brave families who lost their loved ones, they still wont let it rest and neither should they, i have so much respect for them..


 

 

13 Dec 2021 12:21:16
Ed001 or Ed002, can you see these weeks fixtures going ahead?

I have tickets to Anfield on Thursday, my first live game in nearly 2 years, and I am nervous it may be called off!

c_matthews94

{Ed0666's Note - if it’s called off you can watch it on TV


1.) 13 Dec 2021 12:34:35
If its called off Ed. I don't think anyone could watch it due to it being. well, called off!

My glass half full side says the game will go ahead and Mo will get a hat-trick!


6.) 13 Dec 2021 15:24:23
C.V. definitely increasing within football teams, ed002 do you think a small break may be on its way to limit these c.v.s? It can't be long before players are questioning the safety of it all.

{Ed002's Note - I rather suspect that there will be another lockdown coming in the UK.}


7.) 13 Dec 2021 15:24:01
Yes definitely would love that. One of the Ed's will send you my email address and take it from there👍.

{Ed033's Note - BarryinLouth email address sent to Frazer


8.) 13 Dec 2021 18:00:44
Heart problems seem to have increased in football this year as well. 500% increase according to FIFA, seems something ain't as safe and effective as was being touted this time last year.

03 Nov 2021 16:45:14
I read not too long ago, and it baffled me, that the only striker Klopp has signed for Liverpool is Dominic Solanke!

We are definitely overdue a striker, especially with the squad needing an overhaul in the next 2-3 years.

Can't see any realistic targets though! Ed001, is there any in particular you would like us to go for realistically?

Thanks!

c_matthews94

{Ed001's Note - Daka looked the best option, but Isak could be good, he certainly has the potential. No point looking at older players, and there aren't really any that stand out as good enough of the kind of 24-27 peak age that would be a reasonable price. Options are very tight, unless someone like Elliott or Minamino can adapt to the Firmino role or a youngster breaks through.}


1.) 03 Nov 2021 17:23:11
Ed001, I really think we will have to change the way we play upfront once Firmino is moved on or moves on, simply because I know of no other defensive striker who plays like him. I googled this and searched and only two names came up: Jaime Mata and Florian Niederlechner (but I've never seen, or even heard, of these two) . It's not surprising to me at all because we're basically using the skills of a midfielder up front and getting the bonus of goals from him; which is usually the opposite of what most teams do, since players are usually moved backwards as they mature, into midfield and/ or defense. Physically and with his work rate, I think Minamino could do the job (if trained well enough) but does he have the tactical awareness and the speed of thought required? We all haven't seen enough of him to know for sure.


2.) 03 Nov 2021 17:58:21
c_mathews94, Klopp signed Mane and Salah. I don’t think you can discount them as strikers just because they start wide. They are our two highest scorers over the last 4 or 5 years.


3.) 03 Nov 2021 18:24:55
Perhaps Curtis would suit that role in future.


4.) 03 Nov 2021 18:30:25
Vlahovic looks the standout option who is probably within out reach, killer player.

{Ed002's Note - Not moving to Liverpool.}


5.) 03 Nov 2021 18:30:56
The term ‘striker’ has become redundant at Liverpool.
It’s a forward, a player who should be capable of playing in multiple positions, and Klopp has signed plenty of those.


6.) 03 Nov 2021 18:59:04
Agreed Juicer.


7.) 03 Nov 2021 19:09:52
I agree too but JK changed the way we play. I think the original question about style of play might become an issue. Maybe if we promote internally and Lijnders gets the job then, with the continuity, it may be less of a potential issue.


8.) 03 Nov 2021 19:24:16
I’m with you Ed001, Isak looks the player for us. Quick, mobile, can run the channels and is intelligent with his use of the ball. Vlahovic looks rather lumpen in comparison.


9.) 03 Nov 2021 23:18:47
I think jota has proven we don’t necessarily need a like for like replacement for firmino, as we will still score. Jotas main weakness is link up play for me, and if we sign someone who is intelligent on the field, knows when to go into the box or pull out to make space, then I think we will do just fine.


10.) 04 Nov 2021 16:36:45
Spot on, Juicer. Klopp literally created the Robert Lewandowski that we all know and love today and if he thinks we don't need a traditional CF then, who am I to question that cos it's not as if we are scrounging around for goals right now.

That said, I would love Isak, as well cos I think he could more than do a job in the Bobbie role. I would also love Gerrard Moreno of Villareal as well cos he drifts, drops deep to orchestrate and is a pretty good presser BUT he is the same age as Bobbie so won't work.


 

 

16 Jun 2021 16:26:53
I have seen Dele Ali is the latest name linked with us. Apparently would cost 27 million.

What do you think reds? Could Klopp get him playing back to his best?

Could do with some more homegrown talent in our squad I believe!

c_matthews94

1.) 16 Jun 2021 16:36:46
A fit and firing Dele Ali is definitely a very good player, for £27m I’d take him, he should of been an LFC player already and just 25 with years of prem
Experience.


2.) 16 Jun 2021 16:45:10
Hard pass. Klopp improves players who are hungry, not prima donnas who think they are superstars. Though, I do agree we need more homegrown players.


3.) 16 Jun 2021 18:13:04
No thanks. Big time Charlie and vastly over rated. A very mediocre footballer at best.


4.) 16 Jun 2021 18:14:02
Having seen the chat Mourinho had with him, and knowing that it only made him buck his ideas up for about 5 games, I'll agree with td's hard pass. Don't see him getting it back together.

He won't truly realise he's wasted his potential until he's 37 and desperately trying to eke out his playing career for another couple of seasons with the likes of Forest Green and Accrington Stanley.


5.) 16 Jun 2021 18:24:29
If he could be at his best, then yes. But that is a big if!


6.) 16 Jun 2021 18:38:44
Defo a big fat no. complete tool. More interested in doing silly handshakes.


7.) 16 Jun 2021 18:41:10
His best days are long gone. Busted flush right there, has West Ham or Everton written all over him.


8.) 16 Jun 2021 18:55:21
I would have purchased him years ago for £5 million.


9.) 16 Jun 2021 19:08:55
Nah I don’t want to see any of them CRINGE slap and fists handshakes it’s embarrassing!


10.) 16 Jun 2021 19:26:43
No thanks they would have to pay us to take him, id rather continue to develop Jones at least he's hungry for it.


11.) 16 Jun 2021 20:09:05
Gobrubbish.


12.) 16 Jun 2021 23:58:24
£27m for a half fit half arsed player who played less than shaqiri hahahahah. once upon a time.


13.) 17 Jun 2021 11:58:50
Ed-ward, and when was the last time Dele Ali was "fit and firing", exactly? I'll wait.


 

 

14 Apr 2021 11:49:19
Couple of good omens for you today (Get those fingers crossed lads) .

Real Madrid are staying at a Hotel in Merseyside named "Titanic" after the famous boat/ ship. Tonight (the 14th of April) is the 109th anniversary of its sinking.

And secondly, on this day 5 years ago, we came back from the dead to beat Borussia Dortmund 4-3 at Anfield and progress to the semi finals of Europe. We were 3-1 down at one point in both the tie and the game itself.

I guess my point is, and I am sure you all know this already, is that we are Liverpool.

And we NEVER give up.

c_matthews94

1.) 14 Apr 2021 12:03:01
If we had a crowd at Anfield? I would surprised if we didn't go thru. European nights are set with an electric atmosphere and high tempo. I fear the lack of atmosphere will be the teams downfall.


2.) 14 Apr 2021 12:25:26
Never give up. believe in the guys!


3.) 14 Apr 2021 18:47:43
That titanic stat is the worst stat I have ever seen in football history hahaha.

Karim Benzema eat Shreddies for breakfast today. Today marks the 23rd anniversary since the creator of Shreddies bought his first ever hatchback car.

Thank you Ed.

Just to be clear, as we are not mentioned in your summary, Liverpool are not interested? I assume we'd need to move someone on to get him but it seems that even if we did we wouldn't go in for him.

Have you guys seen the highlights? Atletico Madrid (AM) were awarded a penalty (didn't think it was personally) AFTER the full time whistle. The penalty was saved and the rebound from a AM player hit the bar and bounced back to ANOTHER AM player who's strike was going in until it hit Carrasco (who missed the penalty) and went over the bar.

Football!

What position do you think would get the best out of Curtis Jones ed?

I have always been a fan of his since his youth days with us and I still have big hopes for the lad. Hard to forget he's still only 21 as he's been with us for a few years now!

{Ed001's Note - I think he needs a role similar to Henderson, with freedom to get about the pitch and do what he wants. It is easy to forget he is only 21, as everyone expects him to play like he is 27 and at his peak, rather than still learning the game.}

Is Kovacic as important to Chelsea as Fabinho is to Liverpool? Not at all. Even with Kovacic AND Kante possibly out, I still think no Fabinho hurts us more.

Fabinho is up there with VVD, TAA and Alisson as the only players in our squad who we would deeply miss in such a game (IMO of course) .

I thought Jurgen got his subs absolutely spot on yesterday. Great timing as well.

Barry and Frazer! Would be a pleasure to meet up if we can. I am sorry for being pessimistic!

My glass half full side says the game will go ahead and Mo will get a hat-trick!
