It was breaking on Sky Sports just now and James Pearce tweeted it. 4-6 weeks out with ankle ligament damage.
Liverpool : General discussion
- Thread starter Yorkeontop
- Start date
Yeah, fair point. He just looks like an idiot at right back, not suited for the role.
feck. Stewart & Lucas it is then.
Stewart can't play in the Europa League. I'd like to see Lucas and Allen, only because Milner is awful in the middle.
Agree, though Milner will probably have to start out wide because I think we'd be a bit top heavy otherwise.
Stewart and a few of the youngsters are hopefully going to get a few league chances now - we can't afford any more midfield injuries to the senior players.
Big blow for Liverpool. Can's been excellent recently.
Klopp - who I'm reading elsewhere barely knows what he is doing & happens to be at LFC as an 'orrible mistake until the Celtic job is offered - could have pushed Moreno up if he had Flanno available.
Thought they missed Hendo on Thursday & now look a bit thin in MF - Lucas will have to managed wisely cos of his tendency to accumulate yellow cards, innit?

Every time i've seen him in Liverpool he played like a donkey, with Germany too. Strong player but the zero technical ability.
There's a maximum of 3 European games left so don't think yellow cards is an issue.
Managed to avoid injuries though, certainly.
Well, I strongly disagree. He's going to be great for them. Has leadership qualities to boot.
Just not true.
I 'ate Can, so will contribute the impartial opinion that's he's good in straight lines, & not quite sure why Brendan was playing him at centre half. Opportunity to over-complicate & demoralize his proper defenders I suppose - injuries was it? to try & be sensible.
He wanted his ball playing abilities when he moved to three at the back but completely ignored the fact that Can's two biggest flaws are very problematic at centre back.
He's improved in both areas (though could still improve further) but his poor positioning and concentration were exposed there last season. Easier to hide those playing in a box-to-box role.

What quality players can Liverpool realistically buy?
Players at the Firmino level in other positions would do me.
They can buy anyone if they are willing to pay the wages.
Gotze is heavily rumoured.
Also, I guess the hope is Klopp can buy hidden gems as he did in Germany.
Still more or less in disbelief at Thursday's events, what a night. Hangover had me out for two days.
He's prone to the occasional brain fart and could sometimes be more patient in his passing but defensively, he's been brilliant recently.
Have a look at his assist for Origi on Thursday. He definitely has ability on the ball.

Yeah. They're totally going to sign the world's best footballers.
What's the deal with Balotelli ? Is he still an LFC player and is there any chance of a return ?
He is but he's out on loan. I don't think there's any chance he'll be a Liverpool player come September though. I can see him ending up in China.
He is, but I honestly didn't know
I'd completely forgotten about him until I saw an article on the BBC website about his time back at AC Milan.What a waste. Shows that immense talent alone is never enough.
Was just a horrible transfer to begin with, with Rodgers making it clear he wasn't really interested in Balotelli before he was signed.
I'm not even convinced he's all that talented having watched him play regularly last season. He can score a nice goal now and then but that's just about the extend of his abilities.
Agreed. I like many Liverpool fans approached it with the optimism that Rodgers could get the best out of him but it was ridiculous from the start.
If we win our game in hand we go above West Ham 2 points behind Utd. Just need to beat Everton the bastards.
Its more a case of immense hyperbole re Mario. I was never that keen on his coming to Liverpool based on the fact I didn't really see what all the fuss was about when he was at City. The fact that he was a last minute panic buy suggests that there weren't too many people at Anfield who really rated him either.
I was thinking back to when I was a kid this week and can remember how annoyingly good Liverpool were.

Good thing they have their day jobs. Cringeworthy!
But I bet any money it will be received diametrically opposite of the reality.

I know there's all this 'form goes out the window for a derby' and everything, but I really doubt you won't win. Everton are poor.
Everton are terrible for sure. I know you guys aren't the biggest fans of the Redmen TV, but they had some Everton fans on who were borderline suicidal
There's absolutely no way we don't score at least two tonight.

Nah he wasn't great, but at least he was funny and had some passion. That guy who did the first Forrest Gump quote (Flanagan?) oh my god, what a bore.
Everton have won at Anfield just four times in the past thirty years in all competitions (so 37 games). Leicester have three victories at Anfield in the same timeframe (just 12 games in comparison though). Comfortable victory for Liverpool tonight.
Sucks how tonights televised game is the scouse derby. No side has anything to play for other than Pride, and the way Everton are going coupled with their terrible record vs Liverpool makes it even more pointless.
Yeah, Everton are rubbish, 3-0 to you I reckon.Everton are terrible for sure. I know you guys aren't the biggest fans of the Redmen TV, but they had some Everton fans on who were borderline suicidal

It's incredible Everton haven't won at Anfield since '99.
I mean, it's not like there's much to play for in the other two games. A Liverpool derby will generate more interest & money than a shite United display that may or may not get them top four.
Fixed.
Longest streak undefeated at home in the history of the Merseyside derby (225 games iirc).
