Liverpool 'ready swap deal bid' for Nicolo Barella who Jurgen Klopp wants 'at all costs'
Liverpool could be set to offer Naby Keita in exchange for Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella according to reports. The Italian side are rumoured to have placed a £77 million transfer fee on Jurgen Klopp's target, which is beyond what the Anfield side are willing to pay. They are therefore looking at adding Keita to the deal in order to bring the price down.
Barella is one of the key stars within the Inter squad and has another four years on his contract, hence the high asking price. The 39-times capped international played 48 games in all competitions for the Serie A runners up last season, scoring four goals and contributing a further 13 assists.
Keita joined Liverpool in a £50million deal in 2018, inheriting Steven Gerrard’s famous number eight shirt. He has failed to properly impress at Liverpool, however, often finding himself left on the bench at the expense of the preferred midfield trio of Thiago, Fabinho and Jordan Henderson. Now he could be set to leave the club as a makeweight in a deal for the former Cagliari midfielder.

My Opinion: Still a rumor but will be delighted to have a player like Barella in that midfield!

Fabrizio Romano has proved it's false. Liverpool are planning to give Keita a new contract. No more signings unless Klopp sees something in pre season.

Kloppo:


Jota,midfielder?

Sure. He has played as one for Liverpool before in a 4-4-2. He has dropped deeper in a few games before.

EgusiShankly:


Those stringy Yanks. Buy midfielder that is an obvious need for the team, they are waiting till next summer

I think we are going to change system this season and use less Midfield. I see us using double 6 pivot Midfield of Fabinho, Thiago, Henderson, Keita, Chamberlain, Trent this season. A 4-2-3-1or 4-4-2. Don't forget Jota is also a midfielder.

openmine:

Hasn't he won the league before?
We don't need this unnecessary pressure!
We are not mancity or PSG fans that believe in pressuring a coach or player to deliver and then boot him out when things don't go well!
We LFC fans are always patient and trust our coach to deliver no matter what happens!
This is why we love klopp!

Oga, it's not pressure. He who is given more, a lot is expected. This team has underachieved.
We played 2 fucking finals without scoring. Even the UCL was a shitty game we played.
Liverpool used to win titles yearly prior to the 90s, we have only won 1 in 3 years now. This team isn't filled with average players. You would think we or Klopp would have learnt from 2018/19. It took Klopp 6 years to win Carabao and FA Cup.
He is too stiff. He needs to tweak in games not using same tactics with every team.
He should play to his players strength.
Imagine Klopp played a highline against Real Madrid last two seasons with Matt Philips and Williams in defense. Is that not stupid?
It was until later that he learnt that these guys weren't fast or understood the ideology.
We should start playing like City.

Silentgroper:
With d midfield nt solid yet, even d defence is looking weak , baba calm down. We still need add on in some particular spot b4 we knw we are strong enough.. Nunez is nt even epl tested nd he is a poacher nt one of those dat his good at hold up play..

Oga, forget that thing. Klopp has underachieved with that team. He had no reason not to have won the league atleast twice. How many times have City who we claim have world class players been ranked in the ballon d'or even team of the season contains Liverpool players.
I have made same excuses for Klopp only to realize that it's just Klopp who is too stiff to try things new season after season.
Guardiola does this. We lost the league twice by 1 point. Baba, Klopp don underachieve and it's high time we called it.
Guardiola will have won the league with this team 3 times already. Which City forward wins the golden boot? Their left backs or defense, which is better than ours?
Klopp has no reason not to win the league this season. We have 4 CBs who are good. Our Midfield is good.
It's the system that doesn't call for them to be more involved.
Last season you saw the goals they could have when they get to come out.
No more excuses. We have to win more EPL titles and trophies.

This Liverpool team in all honesty have underachieved.

After signing Darwin Nunez, Klopp knows he no longer has any excuse not to win the Premier League.

I hope the JSA is taking place in the modern day not pre MOS cause then you would have to wonder why people were surprised to see aliens and super powered kryptonians years after.

Wait, so black Adam is coming out this year?

Purpl3:


How did the revenge go?

Na Salah say him want revenge oh no be me. My hands are clean.

[quote author=Purpl3 post=113272557][/quote]
F*ck you, man. Lol.

Silentgroper:
Yet militao, a centre back, was d one neutralising every attack coming 4rm our left wing.. Wasnt it suppose to be part of d tactics to have vini clamped down at whatever cost.. While trent overlaps, just like militao, konate covers up while fab transitions into cb to cover up kon's position.. Madrid practically used d same strategy he used against chelsea, man city and psg, and klopp couldnt have anticipated dat.. Me wey no be coach 4 don go study those match and plan out a strategy to neutralise dat game plan of madrid... It's just fvcking unbelievable ... Madrid's backline wasnt even dat great.

Oga, you didn't watch the game. I saw it. Konate was our best defender all through. He and van Dijk were marking other players specifically Benzema when Trent left Vinicius unmarked. Watch the full game.
Konate helped Trent a lot in the game. To me, Trent doesn't have a defender's mind. He has shown time without number that he is playing out of position as RB.
Judging how our forwards were kept quiet is you failing to acknowledge that both our forwards aside Mane aren't in form since March. And Madrid only needed to keep Diaz quiet knowing Salah will fire blanks and Mane won't get the service needed.

Silentgroper:
Explain to me y konate was on d pitch

You didn't watch the game. Konate had a great game. The goal was from Trent angle. Left Vinicius unmarked.

openmine:

So what happened when a super defence which consisted of Rio ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic lost 4-1 to blackburn in 2007?
Was that also derby match?
Bayern Munich lost 5-0 to Borussia Monchengladbach.....was that a derby game?

Bros na that one be one off. You don't concede that kind of goals in a derby and call it a one off. It means that team is good. It's like real Madrid loosing 6-0 in Madrid derby.

Purpl3:


I'm good bro apart from the nerves too cos I can relate asf
Which bald headed french man are you talking about? Zidane? He is no longer our coach o.

The other guy. I forgot he wasn't bald. But that guy. You know me.

openmine:

This is not true!
Games without VVD have been tough and the goals started leaking!
Case in study...LFC vs Benfica!
At this stage,we cant do without him..Its as simple as that!

If you talk about Benfica then what about Inter Milan or Villarreal?
It's cause the boys lacked concentration. Like against West Ham, Brentford Brighton. Van Dijk started those games.

openmine:

Nope. I disagree. You make it sound like we don't keep clean sheets without VVD.
Listen, VVD is good at defense but it's also a team effort. I have seen where Vvd makes a mistake and Robbo covers for him.
Vvd has an input but it's all on the team not just him. That's the notion I want to correct.

openmine:

You were alluding to VVD letting 7 goals get past him and i only showed U using that Manutd as an instance where they conceded heavily despite having a watertight defence then!

That one is quite different. We were actually good on the day and better than United. Besides when we have always beaten United at old Trafford, it usually goes by 3 goals, 4 goals. It's not like it's a one off.
Vvd letting 7 past him was because the boys lost focus against an opponent that wasn't a derby. It's like saying we concede 7 against Everton or United. We can't cause we will be very focused.
Winning a derby is by merit.

openmine:

I do not deny what you are saying!
However, the narrative of Matip being the 'best defender' felt sightly odd to me and made it look as though VVD was not actually needed!
They were all average until VVD showed up and administered is leadership qualities and calmness which none of them including Matip had!
This brought the best out of Matip and Gomez and also lovren because VVD had once pair with him!

You aren't getting the argument.
The argument was of all the CBs then,Matip was the best. He was actually better than the average guys.
In games without VVD, he has actually had to stand up. That's assuming everyone in the team do their part.

openmine:

That was an off game that could have happened to any team!
Even during the glory days of manutd,they got trashed by a LFC at old trafford and yet won the league!

Getting trashed by arch rivals Lfc at old Trafford isn't to be considered a one off. We actually challenged for the league in those years.
Yes, the Villa game was a one off but my point is it happened not because of one person but cause the team was off.
It was until Klopp's 2nd full season that we started having a team.

samistry:
I still don't know why you are hyped for this. Her outing in birds of prey didn't do it for me

Like seriously. I don't get the hype for the version of black canary I saw.

Purpl3:


it's her dedication to the character that's applaudable...her role in birds of prey being like that was down to the writers not her. She fits the role.

How that birds of prey movie got made and DC thought it was good is what I will never understand.

Purpl3 long time bro.
Nerves running through me...that bald headed French man better take things easy else I am flying to Spain and having a piece of him.
How you doing...

BlackManta:
Blue Beetle costume is so beautiful

Honestly I didn't think it would look this good without CGI

This is 100% practical

The designers did an excellent job

Iron man meets vigilante lol. Love it.

alekside:
Only VVD was responsible for the reduction in goal conceeded. Klopp tweaking his game to a more conservative approach, Allison's outstanding performances, selling dross like Moreno, Mignolet, Lovren etc played no part

This is the mistake you guys have. He isn't really the only one, cause if you follow it well, when VVD came, the error prone guys started taking a step back, guys like Moreno, we got Robertson playing more and Trent getting into the team.
Am not discrediting VVD but putting it on the team also.
After all, VVD was in the game we played where 7 goals went past him.

alekside:
The bolded is false. Matip was our best defender before VVD came in. The only issue he had was his reoccurring injuries.

Openmine. Matip was actually really good and our best before VVD. The problem is he rarely frequently played, and had people who were too error prone alongside him. Don't forget the GKs we had, and oh,the Midfield. We also had Moreno in defense.
Gomez and Matip first partnered as CBs last season. They've never ever been paired prior to then.
For Matip to still remain even after Klavan, Lovren Sakho, you need to know he did something right. Don't forget the others aren't injury prone.
Even Van Dijk admits Matip is better than him in some areas. What Matip lacks is that calmness and commanding nature and game reading. But if it's to carry the ball, tackle and all, he is good. Real good, and better than the others we had.
The only debate is who between him and Gomez is better.
I would say, it has both sides to look at. In terms of defending, Gomez on his day is ruthless, you can't bully him, he bullies you. But when it comes to giving that attacking pass or breaking into Midfield, Matip has it.
Lovren is good but too error prone and too hasty. The guy too dey do gra gra. But I like him in terms nodding ball into the net and bullying attackers.

EgusiShankly:


Gerrard take over after Klopp?
Please! Please!! Abort it. The guyman is trash

He is actually starting out bro. Saying he is trash just condemns him totally.
Even Klopp almost got Mainz relegated.
Have some respect for him.
He is why we won the 5th and 6th UCL.

Silentgroper:
is this part of d tactics or is it some sort of error?

Footballers stopped taking the numbers of their positions long ago.

Silentgroper:
what do u mean by we dnt use a number 10.. Mane wears 10..

i do agree origi isnt great at passing though.

Mane wears number 10 doesn't mean he is playing as a 10. Salah plays as a 7 but wears 11. Fabinho plays as a no 6 a DM but wears the number of a Left Back.
