https://www.skysports.com/football/...-liverpool-boss-on-why-the-team-had-to-evolve Interesting interview. This team is in transition and, yet it's only a couple of points behind a rampant City. One proposition-- hehe hehe that's the mathematician in me-- I picked up on a discussion on RAWK was that Klopp never acknowledges a problems unless he has found a solution despite the obvious clamour for it (acknowledgement.)
Klopp charged for running onto the pitch. On TAW they said Guardiola did it last year. Was there a hullabaloo then? https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/46431656
not as much of an uproar at all. Klopp will get the same punishment as PG -- IIRC he got a one-match touchline ban ??
Had a laugh at the coverage of the weekend games by the fan boys at BBC and ESPN. Big headlines about the Chavs result and the epic, season-defining Yernited win over mighty Fulham. Liverpool winning emphatically and going top? Hardly mentioned. Arf.
that's exactly what I was thinking. watched the hilites show last night, about 2 mins to show all of our game / 4 goals, then it was about 3 mins of dramatic-music introduction to the City game before they actually showed it.
yeah I love how a good win over fulham, who are bottom of the table - and leak goals more than a rusty sink leaks water, suddenly means that ManU have turned the corner... Let's see how their next couple of games go before invoking a zombie like rise from the dead for this team.
case in point ... it appears we beat B'mouth coz they are crap .... (edit: I always read this "10 talking points" thing - for the first time this week I see 2 sections devoted to 1 game. guess which one?) https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/dec/10/premier-league-10-talking-points-football Mohamed Salah put on a masterclass in finishing at Bournemouth but there was no denying that Eddie Howe’s players gave Liverpool a helping hand during a meek and error-strewn second-half performance that exposed weaknesses in a squad that appears to be creaking. With Lewis Cook joining Dan Gosling and Adam Smith on the sidelines, and Callum Wilson also missing with a hamstring injury, Bournemouth are looking a little thin on the ground at a time when their form has badly tailed off. The fixture list has not been kind but five defeats in six games – and given how well Huddersfield played on Tuesday they could have lost all six – has punctured some of that early season optimism. Bournemouth are still eighth, only three points behind Manchester United, but January could be a good time for Howe to freshen things up.
Yeah, I'm all for the doubters. The more we can fly under the radar (and be #1), the better. They can make excuses all day long and we can keep winning.
the guardian thinks Millie is the 82nd best player in the world. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...male-footballers-in-the-world-2018-nos-100-71
Anybody recall this? Note the tone of the article. How times change, eh! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...es-starting-month-title-challengers-cope.html
https://www.thisisanfield.com/2018/...urgen-klopp-may-rest-liverpools-key-men-soon/ good look at our need to rotate key players. Liverpool have the most outfielders to play 2,000 minutes or more for club and country this season (five): Virgil van Dijk – 2,396 Andy Robertson – 2,332 Mohamed Salah – 2,280 Sadio Mane – 2,231 Gini Wijnaldum – 2,198
