ACL isn't anything like as serious as it used to be, is it?
Now it's up to Studge to fire us to glory.
Fucking fuck fuck! Gutted for the lad. He's been ace so far as well. 🙁
Nope. Pretty routine but it takes time
Ings' attitude - provided it holds up - should stand him in good stead to get over this, but still, as others have said, it's a pig of an injury to shake off.
Add striker to the list of positions in which we need to add to the squad next January.

Firmino..
That's all I've got to say..

Not a striker. We've already been playing him in another position which isn't his. I can't see Klopp making a similar mistake.
He can play as a striker, he does so for Brazil..
He will either play behind studge with coutinho or alongside the striker in a deeper role
Like I said.. he can also play up top on his own..
It's a blow.. but the squad should be able to cope, when all the other players are back from injury.
Terrible news, lets hope he's back for pre-season. Shame too as he looked ideal for Klopp's style of play.
But, we've got Sturridge who averages over 1 in 2 for us, Benteke that averages 1 in 2, and Firmino as backup that can play up front. I'm not expecting too much from Origi.

Playing behind the no.9 would be fine but that's not what I understand by the term "striker". Maybe he "can play" up top on his own but I'm not interested in "can play" TBH. That's tinkering and we've had way too much of that over the years.
Nope its not the guy from the Metro which I'm known for citing
It's none other than strike sensation Samed Yesil.

Is it something better treated in the US?
I remember in the Ged era, people were praising Dr Steve Peters (I think that was the name), but players like Berger and Owen never being the same after getting treatment/surgery from him.
Are those days long gone?
The consensus seems to be yes, but don't expect a lot in the first season back.
Skrtel did it a few years back ( PCL rather than ACL which is more common) had a mare of a season after being fit but was fine thereafter.
And that seems to apply across many sports.
Unless you are AP and then you produce your best season ever 8 months after. Freak of nature.
Oh great. He's a good player, we'll miss him. All on Sturridge and Benteke now.
Should hopefully persuade FSG to allow Klopp some funds in January for another attacker.

HaHa! Bloody WUM 😉
The second one was a cartilage injury, according to Google. Not much info about the first.
Not great news either way
Yeah, maybe we'll tell Ings to copy All Day.
Except not the beating kids with sticks bit.
He's never going to play for us again, yiz know that right?
I wonder if you meant Richard Steadman? Steve Peters is Ronnie O'Sullivan's psychologist!
Poor old Peters failed to crack the nut that is Andrew Flintoff. I know that Flintoff is a bit of a tit, but Peters sounds a bit of a tit, too:
I went to see another sports psychologist called Steve Peters. I thought: ‘He’s only down the road, works for British cycling. They’re doing well. He must be good.’ So I went to his house.
He was sitting next to a flip chart, which is never a good sign. Me and flip charts don’t go well together. So we exchanged pleasantries and then he says: ‘Let me tell you a bit about myself.’ And off he went: ‘I’ve won X number of gold medals. I’ve won this, I won that…’
‘Hang on a second,’ I said. ‘Gold medals? Wow. Can I see one? Never seen a gold medal.’
‘No, no, I haven’t got any gold medals. No, no, I worked with the athletes — Chris Hoy, Victoria Pendleton and so on — and talked them into their gold medals…’
So what we’re talking about is gold medals for talking? Oh great.
Then he turns to his flip chart and draws a head on it. ‘Do you know what that is?’
‘It’s a head,’ I said.
‘You’ve got a chimp in there. You’ve got a chimp in your head.’
‘I don’t think I have,’ I said. ‘I think I’d know about it if I did.’
‘No, you have got a chimp in your head,’ he said. ‘What I mean by that is that the back of your head is eight times stronger than the front bit, so the back bit takes over. But your rational thoughts and so on are at the front. So what you’ve got to do is take over from the chimp at the back.’
‘How long is this going to go on for?’ I thought. ‘I want to go home.’ I did the hour with him and then I left.
Perhaps Steve didn’t catch me on a good day — and he is highly rated in his field — but it didn’t click for me.
Everyone was asking how it went. ‘Brilliant. I’ve got a chimp in my head.’ When I played next, I got out to a horrendous shot. ‘It’s not my fault. It’s this chimp in my head.’

I'm not sure I agree, macca, TBF. Peters might have tried harder to tailor his delivery to the fact that he was sitting opposite a barely defrosted Neanderthal, but I'm not sure what else he did wrong there. Flintoff - magnificent cricketer in his day - is a thumping great fool and it's bound to be an uphill struggle for anyone to communicate with him in words of more than one syllable, especially if the material covered is the slightest bit demanding.
