They all average at least 20 games a season, even Keita and Ox and I rate Jones but we'll see. It wouldn't be any surprise to see us bring in someone either.

Thiago is somewhat injury prone in recent years
Keita is a crock
Henderson is the wrong side of 30 with injuries creeping in
Fabino is one hell of a player
AOC see Keita

I’m actually stunned they haven’t replaced wijnaldum, I know they rate the kid but still. Klopps midfield seems to require a high work rate and a very strong understanding tactically of what he expects.

We can't be expected to win anything now Rashford will be out for three months

Yeah I think you’ll have to. You can’t rely on the other to regularly perform in the premier league.

That's not how it works 52. You need to have 3 injuries for a crisis. Anything less than 9 players playing 30 games is impossible to recover from

Seems both kls and Fowler chose not to read where I said injuries to first XI.

It’s well documented the drop off in quality in Liverpool’s squad outside the first XI

A COUPLE OF INJURIES

Do you understand what couple means?

Are you being deliberately obtuse

I’ve already documented this.

We were talking about your ability to return to the form you had when you won.

Of that first XI only two players missed a serious chunk and a third missed the last third of the season long after your meek surrender

No, you said we lost a couple of players. I know what a couple is and is not 7.

If you want to look at it incredibly myopically maybe but if you actually understand it what happened was we were top at Christmas and top for the last ten games but when we were missing four cbs plus Fabinho and Henderson we lost some football matches and that's about it.

We had to change the system, the full backs and all sorts and we struggled to score as a result. There were very few games where we were outplayed and that's before I go into the players who got Covid.

I'm quite happy to be written off though but I rate our squad.

I also said first XI and you included everyone in the squad

Do you know what first XI is?

That’s fair but the opinion of your peers and tbh in a way the way yours comes off is like no one else deals with injuries frequently.

You had 2 seasons that comparatively you fared far better than any of the other top 6 and then when last season hit it was like you were the only ones dealing with the issue.

Personally I still think your squad is too thin, and a couple of key injuries youre right back where you were.

Of the top 4 delta between first XI and squad is biggest in your squad imo

Simple facts are that even with those couple of injuries and United’s bigger squad and our horrendous drop in form, we finished just 5 points off that far superior squad.

Are you special ?

Gomez and VVD were the only players who actually missed huge chunks before you folded a defense

Henderson ruled out for the season in February when you had already thrown the towel in hardly counts does it?

TAA, Robertson, Allison, Fabinho, salah, Mane, Firmino, Wijnaldum all played 30+ games

So yes your title defense was ruined because of your first XI you had 2 serious injuries

Utter nonsense.

And made all that ground up when we had what 4 games in 10 days, playing twice a week outside of that?

While you played once a week in the league with teams either on holiday or focussed on Europe.

Look at the table 10 games to go, that was your real level before the scheduling disaster and back end of European competitions took hold

You did

Now that superior squad added San hi and varane

You added another CB sick note and lost arguably your most consistent midi fielder

I see you bridging that gap putting all your hopes on a 30 year old CB recovering from a career threatening knee injury

Then again maybe Matip, Gomez, Keita, AOC etc have all got over their career long injury issues and Henderson and Milner have had a youth regenerating tonic

At one points in the season we had

VVD out
Gomez out
Matip out
Fabinho out
Thiago out
Jota out

The 3 central defenders all to serious season ending injuries, not the 2 you’ve stated.

I agree that our squad isn’t as strong and big as United, city or Chelsea, that a fact.

We fell off our league pace of the previous two seasons because we lost some football matches. That's how it works and if you go and look at who was injured when we lost those games then it was certainly more than two.

Listing games that we won is entirely arbitrary.

Tbf five points doesn’t really reflect how far ahead of you we were. Our season was pretty much done when we beat Villa.

What did we do? Used the squad.

If you’d have taken your blinkers off for one moment this all started because I said a couple of injuries exposed Liverpool’s lack of quality in depth which you’ve now literally agreed with.

So given your transfer activity so far, you must be concerned?

And you play 2 at the back not 3

What part of first XI do you not get lol

posted on 1/8/21

Didn't Utd bomb out of the CL and win fvck all or am I missing something?

posted on 1/8/21

Yep we literally could only match the world European super duper greatest team ever

Well aside from finishing ahead of them in the league that is

And all that with a PE teacher as a coach and not the second coming
