Well.... the midfield scored hardly any but coutinho scored lots up yo january last year, just saying weve scored near the total in league cos i looked
Not sure why people are entertaining this rumour. Spanish and British press are both horrible when it comes to rumours. The Spanish in particular really seem to target someone to push for a move, or equally to force them out. By all accounts he isn't doing that bad, is happy to be living in Barcelona (who wouldn't), gets paid a crap load and is winning things.
They had a purple patch, esp firmino right out to end of season. I looked at league table by date for 1st March and did that graph and the goals were not far off but defence was way way better
I was just discussing it. You said we're more reliant on the front 3 this year, and I pointed out that the rest of the team have made as much of a contribution proportionally (if not more so) than last season. I wasn't trying to say any more than that. If we are missing him, it will be in creating more opportunities for the front 3 rather than his own goal tally. It's the void we expected Keita to fill, but he just hasn't got going yet. I think that some are overplaying Coutinho's importance, that's all. He's a good player, and having good players is a good thing, but his loss hasn't significantly diminished us overall. We're still doing rather well, aren't we?
Liverpool news: Alberto Moreno flies abroad to seal transfer WITHOUT telling Jurgen Klopp LIVERPOOL left-back Alberto Moreno is in Rome with the view to putting pen-to-paper on a pre-contract deal with Lazio - but he hasn’t told Jurgen Klopp or the club
We’re missing both goals and chances created from midfield this season - coutinho Ox and Can supported the front 3 last season. Front 3 more reliant on creating for themselves this season.
He played around 30 odd games before he was injured. Pretty much started every match when available. And still got around 5 goals and 5 assists. Not talking massive numbers here but still good contribution, along with Ox and coutinho
Exactly this. When was the last time one of our midfielders scored in open play. Drove through midfield and shot, scored a free kick....threaded a brilliant through ball or opened up the game with a brilliant ball. I think Fab is capable but doesn’t often let fly....but Ox and Couts did contribute last season and we haven’t had the threat from midfield since.
Yeah you be nailed it there. piss easy cl group and goals from qualifiers too pad the front 3s numbers.
Speculation surrounding a potential swap deal involving Juventus’ Paulo Dybala and Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has re-emerged and looks to actually be gaining a bit of pace. Last month, the front page of Italian newspaper Tuttosport revealed that the Serie A champions had offered Liverpool £44million plus Dybala for the ‘Egyptian King’ – an offer which was politely declined. Now, cited by the Daily Mail, Tuttomercatoweb report that Juventus are still eyeing a deal for Salah, with director of football Fabio Paratici said to be ‘extremely keen’ to add the 26-year-old to the club’s already-impressive attacking repertoire. Despite Juve’s reported interest, Salah only signed a new bumper five-year contract at Anfield last July and the Italian club’s primary target is Federico Chiesa of Fiorentina.
