    Updates from press conference today is that Jota is already back training and Thiago should be back in team training from Monday. Konaté should be in team training around the international break in a couple of weeks.

    Ramsay doesn't sound that close to being ready either.

    Worryingly Keïta has a muscle injury similar to Chamberlain and sounds like both are out indefinitely.

    Henderson out injured for sure now but no timeframe until scan comes back. Would be at best out until international break at this stage I'd say.

    Hopefully what we've seen so far regarding Ramsay isn't a sign of things to come.

    Players got away with far more in the days before wall to wall media coverage, example 56,728. I'll never not be angry that David James lasted as long as he did as our keeper. It's Roy Evans biggest failure as our manager,and fuck Souness for inflicting him on us. And the amount of clips of players who were very highly rated making errors that you wouldn't see in League 1 these days is mental. Mark Wright here playing like a Leinster Senior League player. 2 years after being named PFA player of the year,Steve Nicol was doing things Titus Bramble wouldn't have recovered from. And it's not just when we were shit, you can pull clips like that from any past era on a far more consistent basis than you could now. The standards in football are so much higher now than they were when we were dominating, or even when Man U and then Arsenal were at their peak.

    I was watching a bit of Gary Neville's soccerbox the other day, he had Roy Keane on and they were watching a utd/arsenal game from their day, it was poor enough for the 2 best teams of the time

    Just seen there that there was a legends game at Anfield today which means I've managed to avoid the whinging about players who aren't actually legends,a topic that makes people's Fantasy Football selections seen interesting. So that's good. We beat Man U 2-1.

    I heard Robbie Keane played so at least there was one undisputable Liverpool legend playing.

    I thought he never played those legend games.
    Heard he shoved a teammate as soon as he came on. Didn't bother clicking the link to see who it was.

    Kvarme, Diao and Voronin would be certs for LFC worst XI for last 25 years.:D

    Vignal played 11 league games for LFC.

    Was looking up Mark Gonzalez stats and was amazed to see he played 25 league games.

    Maybe it’s a sign of the lack of trophies from the next tranch of ‘legends’. Going to have to wait until Mane, Salah, Firmino are up front for the legends game before it can truely be called that again ;)

    In all seriousness though, esp after Covid and particularly for Voronin with the war, some buzz for them to play in front of a full Kop. It helps there is a general feel good factor around the club under Klopp for these lads to have a great day out for charity

    In 10 or 15 years time you're going to see lads like Ryan Kent or Dominic Solanke or numerous other lads who wouldn't be considered legends,because 25 former world class players getting together every time theres a charity game is probably not going to happen. So even though some of the complaints are tongue in cheek, on a slightly serious note it would be nice to show respect to the players that give their time by not making an issue of it being called a Legends game. But I heard not everybody who turns up for charity fun runs have fun. I believe sometimes people don't even run,they walk but we let it go.

    Vignal was fouled for the Gary Mac last min free kick winner against the bitters...if he doesn't deserve legendary status I don't know what does

    I'd imagine there is a budget to get these lads over and pay them. Vignal is going to come cheaper than Xabi Alonso. There will be a balancing act between proper legends and squad fillers.

    Kelleher
    Kostas
    Konate
    Matip
    Gomez
    Robbo
    Thiago
    Elliot
    Keita
    Melo
    Salah
    Diaz
    Carvalho

    Plus fringe players Ox, Jones, Milner

    Atm anyway players not going to world Cup for the month looking good for 2nd half of season. Even the players going only Ali, Virgil, Nunez, and Jota are definite starters if I'm correct.

    I didn’t realise until the weekend that’s teams not in the World Cup having friendlies in November so some will be away two weeks however should have a good month with the manager on the training pitch. I know Thiago will be itching to get in Spain squad how would be great to have fresh and ready to prove Spain manager wrong in second half of the season.
