Made of glass

We seem to have two extremes.

Players like Salah, Mane, Firmino who never get injured, then the players you have listed. It is rather odd.

Liverpool will never be able to rival PSG for wages.

Mbappe is a non-starter. Plus kinda over-rated.

None of the players mentioned apart from maybe Gomez are key players for Liverpool though, are they? Matip is only playing due to injury, last year and the year before he was benched until Gomez was injured.

He'd walk into City's defence I think. Stones is getting so much hype, just a purple patch I can't believe people are falling for it. The guy is a poor defender and always will be.

City are doing well at the minute, can't argue that but I still fancy United to finish above them. I think you'll focus more on the UCL when you drop PL points in the next 6 or 7 games.

...and no one else will drop points and/or concentrate on the CL/EL?

It would be ridiculous of me to suggest United, LFC, Everton or even Spurs won't drop points but I just think the Europa League will be sacrificed in order to go for the title. Sociedad are decent and it's the perfect chance to rest players and go out strategically.

You're right, of course, Boris, this is just his standard nonsense.

If we aren't going to bring in a centre back now for the money that we'd need to spend, then we are never going to sign Mbappe unless on a Bosman in like 10 years!

Your brain is made of glass.

our current top earner is on 200k per week. (salah) Thiago and vvd won't be far behind him.

Mbappe is currently on 350k a week at psg and will likely be headed for the 500k per week mark at real.

people need to get over this lazy, he is nike we are nike rubbish and just get a bit real.

I personally feel the team has been togetger for 5 years and at that time achieved alot. 2 champs league finals and 2 solid years challenging for the title.

It needs freshing up. Jota was a good addition and we def need abither uptop to eventually replace firmino.

I also agree some players are to inury prone. Those are
Ox, matip, kieta and Gomez

2 of those 4 should be moved on imo. I would go for kieta and matip (due to age)

MITO is spot on. Forget Mbappe, Haaland etc etc

We will probably look at Neto, Depay and those types of players who are cheaper in transfer and wages.

posted on 18/1/21

Gomez isn't really made of glass, all his injuries have been horrible ones with virtually all of them the result of bad tackles/awkward falls. That's just bad luck in my opinion.

Whereas Keita and Matip we're lucky if they can play 4/5 games in a row.

get the right guy and the fame and glory will follow. salah was hungry to make a name and did so. he doesn't look as hungry now, a bit entitled.

we will do well to find the next haaland etc.

Agree.

Keita, shaqiri, matip. You'd be lucky to see our 2 weeks without some sort of muscle strain or whatever.

gomez gets serious impact injuries and is out for a long time. Cruciate. Ankle, patella tendon.


don't spread this round lads but VVD was out for 6 months with an ankle injury and is now out for another 6 with a cruciate. he's made of glass too!

Ankle was not with us though right? And injuries are spaced out. Some players just seem to be i jured alot. Feel bad as matip especially is rwally good defender and a shame he cant last morw than like 4 games.

not it was southampton but still required a long rehab

Matip ok fine the guy is a decent defender and reads the game well compared to the blind panic of lovren but the reality is if your body can't cope then it cannot cope.

Muscle injuries left and right, back spasms etc. its all interlinked.

Same for ketia, whether he just can't cope or is a very poor player at warming up or whatever I don't know. But its constant.

Don't think it's a secret that we need another CB. Matip is what he is; he's a fine defender when he's able to play but that seems to be with decreasing frequency. He should be entering his peak years at 29 but it's difficult to see him putting his injuries issues behind him. Still, he was a free and has hugely contributed over the last 3 years so all good even if he stays as a squad player.

Gomez has had some terrible luck but it's got to be taking a toll. He'd be superhuman for the injuries not to play on his mind to some extent. Still, I wouldn't necessary get rid. The lad is 23 and has the talent to succeed.

Keita is the one who may be reaching the end. This season was a big one for him in terms of finally making an impact following a good end to 20/21. He's the one I can see heading back to Germany. Shame because I had high hopes based on reports in Germany and Klopp's keeness to sign him but its just not happened for him.

Mbappe is a non-starter (obviously). And Salah has scored over 100 goals in 3.5 years for us, has 13 from 16 in the EPL this season but you want rid after a couple of indifferent performances?! That's not a grenade, it's stupidity.
