The trouble with Bobby is that all the woes stems from that shredded you mentions
I know that middle is the biggest pussy hole in the world, but our players cannot penetrate it hard cos they are small dicks.
It is Owen and his pettiness.
But Owen is talking the truth and I think Salah knows it too.
Come on, you can't see through that? If Salah doesn't give the ball to Mane when Mane is in good position, why would Mane go down if the designated penalty taker is Salah. I am sure Klopp and his technical guys knows this.
Hi Michael.
Michael Owen does talk some shit
We are failing to take control of the middle, we need to dominate the centre - that has been our main setback. Klopp has to find ways to do this in the summer. Salah plays on the right as opposed to Leroy Sane playing on the left and running at defenders, Leroy would cross by the goal line which is fine when you have somebody like Aguero or Jesus in the box. Salah and Mane are suppose to cut in and take a shot to the far end of the goal, the fact is teams are expecting this move that's when defenders double on them and the attack fizzles out. Andy Robertson is suppose to do the Leroy run once or twice in a game, fly pass the defender and cross but often times this season he holds the ball and ends up passing the ball back - cant tell whether its due to physical burn out, lack of hunger to win or lack of confidence in his fellow defenders to cover for him.
How is Owen still a club ambassador?
For scum yes
That tells you more about Owen than it does Mané
All we need now is the obligatory twitter rumour that Salah was caught snagging Manés wife
Ross wants his tinfoil hat back.
I'm not so sure that's true mate. With Nike on board they'll want to see us back up there pronto and it may even enhance our chances of winning the PL. As for Klopp, he doesn't walk out on contracts and his affinity with the club will, IMHO, see him through this dip.
Others here seem to think there is a wholesale requirement for team regeneration this Summer, I'm with Klopp though I don't see it. I went through this listing all the players ages and prime ages for their positions and we are 1-2 years off that. There's no sign of Mo & Mane, the two closest to slipping out of prime, being in decline, a dip in form doesn't indicate that (it's only really the last 10 games or so and there are mitigating circumstances all over the pitch).
Many just don't seem to be accounting for the gross toll of injuries, lack of pre-season, no crowds, covid, family loss etc. etc. on the team. I guess that's from growing frustration and now just lashing out .. but it doesn't mean those factors grow any less pertinent as the season rumbles on.
The number of player games lost to injuries this season is simply shocking when compared to other teams : Leicester the second highest with 102 compared to our 204 and City, United, Chelsea way down in double digits.

Why do people think having Nike as a shirt spnsor will have any direct impact on transfers and finances? Nike currently make Chelsea and Spurs shirts too, they aren't in the business of handing out money to boost one club over another, that would dumb of them. They also work with PSG, Barca, Inter and Athletico, have they ever funded any of their major transfers?
It's still going on but we haven't scored yet
Pomp Hendo excelled at this too.
And Chelsea have left.
Opta posted that we havent scored from our last 99 attempts on goal at home.
The record is 114 in the PL, set by Pompey.
No, but our season has.
That's why we call it Fortress Anfield. :blackalien:
Considering we have supposedly the best trio attack in world football that’s insane.
Yes he does, but I genuinely think that Michael has a point, but not related to the point that Owen is making with Mane not going down, he probably does not go down because no ref ever gives him anything when he is fouled outside the box so why would they even give him anything inside the box ? I think this season alone we have had opposition teams that have scored 2 goals against us after fouling Mane in the build up which was completely ignored by the refs.
Anyway - I do believe there is something to this - the body language between the two is not right, Salah I think has earned the right to be selfish but Mane has not - especially this season. There was a great bond between the two in the season we reached the CL final against R.Madrid, but that has deteriorated over the last two seasons. I think there is a slight arrogant belief in Mane where he thinks he does all the hard work and therefore backs himself to be as good as Salah at scoring but he is not - even though I think Mane on his day is more useful to our attacking play than Salah. There is an undeniable degree of greed and hunger in Salah to score and get the golden boot, - but when you are the guy who has scored the most PL goals in a season (like ever) - then I think your team mates have to respect that to some degree.
I wish these two could get back to the relationship they built in that CL final losing season. Too much African rivalry has got in the way.
