Liverpool 2024-25

[goldenecitrone]

Well, Newcastle away in December was always going to be tougher than Real Madrid and City at home.

Should have won, but I guess a draw was a fair result for the Geordies.

 

[Maggot]

That was a brilliant game for us neutrals. Swinging back and forth.

Newcastle were a different team from the one who couldn't manage a shot on target against Palace.

 

[Voley]

That Newcastle goal from the almost impossible angle. Fucking hell!

Draw was fair, I thought. No-one deserves to lose a great game like that.

4-3 would have been proper retro-nostalgic though.

Yeah, we've had some absolute classics with Newcastle over the years.

That 4-3 one was Stan Collymore ruining Newcastles season, I think? The Keegan 'I'd love it if we beat them" season, maybe?

There were two weren't there, in consecutive seasons. Collymore scored the winner in the first one which was really back and forth, think it might have been Fowler in the other one, I think Liverpool were 3-0 up and Newcastle got back to 3-3 in that one, went looking for the winner and got done in IT. Not sure which was that particular season though.

Around that time was really peak PL interest for me - not far off 30 years ago, somewhat terrifyingly

That's the one I'm thinking of but there was the one where Fowler scored right at the end too.

Yeah we've had some proper epics with them.

Pretty sure one of them (I think the second) was voted the premiership's greatest game at some point.

And Mike Reed was the referee apparently - I wonder if the players gave him the Runaround?

 

[Humberto]

I like Nunez. Shits up and occupies defenders. Card in the deck for us.

 

[goldenecitrone]

Are you not entertained?

Merry Christmas to Reds the world over.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Top at Christmas. Go easy on the stuffing Mo.

 

[Voley]

Well that was fucking amazing.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Apparently the City players visited a Manchester orphanage today. "It's awful to see their sad little faces with no hope" said Ben, aged seven.

 

[sojourner]

Well that was fucking amazing.

Fucking Masterclass in football eh?

Changed it in case not nice

 

[Humberto]

Game management was top. I say we keep Slot.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I watched the match Vs Leicester and once we got creative in the second half we looked terrific. My only worry is that arguably our three best players still haven't signed new deals

 

[Voley]

First half I thought Leicester might hang on to the lead as they were defending well. Until the equaliser we were showing signs of exasperation with sloppy passes etc. Even Trents corners were wayward. Goal totally changed it though, we were great from that moment on.

Same here. I thought Mo, at least, was pretty much done and dusted a couple of weeks ago. Not sure what's gone on there.

Nuñez' inability to score is annoying me now. I know he's a great playmaker, workrate is phenomenal etc but if he's in front of goal, I never expect him to put it away. I'd have Diaz or Jiota on before him any time.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Expect Diaz and Jota were being rested for the run of fixtures. Szobo gets a rest next game as he's suspended lol

 

[Steel Icarus]

Just thought it important to praise Joe Gomez. Our longest serving player, just comes in and does a 7 or 8 out of ten no matter where he plays. And he's still only 27!

 

[steveo87]

It blows my mind that Jones is only 23.
Maybe it's because he's been in and around the first team since he was 18 (he scored that goal against Everton in the FA Cup on the day my son was born, incidentally), but in my head he's the same age as Trent, or at least Gomez.

 

[Numbers]

Future club captain for sure.

We lost Steve Mcmanaman and Owen to these for frees.

Jones has a kid of his own now too.

Owen was bought by Real for 8 million

Kudos to Kudos. Most lively Hammer by a country mile.
