Hendo out for the rest of the year.

Just out of curiosity, who do y'all think are the most "important" Liverpool players. I tried to rank the typical starting lineup.

1)VVD
2)TAA
3)Hendo
4)Mane
5) Bobby
6)Andy
7) Mo
8)Alisson
9) Gini
10) Fabinho
11)Gomez

1) VVD
2) Mo
3) Mane
4) Bobby
5) Alisson
6) Fab
7) Fullback tie
8) Hendo
9) Gini
10) Gomez or Matip (i.e. not Lovren)

The top 5 are, in my opinion, irreplaceable components of this team. The only reason I rate Fabinho over the others is that he makes a huge difference in defense against the top sides.

Initial reports made it seem like he was definitely out for the rest of the year and maybe the beginning on next season.

Article this morning was more positive

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jul/10/jordan-henderson-liverpool-avoids-surgery-and-will-lift-premier-league-trophy-klopp

Edit: never mind. It was more positive that he wouldn't be out for months but literally in the first sentence it says he's out for the rest of the year.

Virg
Mo
Hendo
Mane
Alisson
Trent
Bobby
Fabinho
Andy
Gino
Gomez

The crazy thing is is how important they all are. You could say Bobby is #3 or way down the list. The fullbacks are incredibly important. And The defense works so much better with Gomez back there than any other partner for VVD.

Bobby
Mo
Trent
Mane
Alisson
Robertson
Henderson
Fabinho
Gini

I don't think Bobby's importance can be understated in our buildup and press. His movement in the buildup and final third are the main reason why Mo and Mane hit such high goal tallies. They wouldn't have nearly the freedom to operate if we had a traditional #9 up front. Even if he isn't directly involved in a goal, he always plays a key part in it.

Do y'all not remember the time without Allison over the last 3 years. He's top 3 important without question.

That's the thing with so many of these guys though. Didn't the slide thing spring key from Henderson going down?

Adrian actually actually did pretty well back there last fall when Alisson got hurt but there's no way they'd have achieved what they have in the last 2 years without a world class GK.

Has shaqiri played at all since the restart?

6 months ago I would have almost guaranteed he'd be gone this summer but now I wonder if they'll keep him, especially since they didn't get Timo.

African Cup got moved out to '22, right?

No and yes.

Edit to say I'm a dummy and didn't read your questions very well.

Lacking sharpness in the final third

Pope was pretty incredible. Lack of sharpness to our finishing, but oh, well.

Big surprise - City has their CL ban overturned this morning. Financial Fair Play rules don't matter.

All games on some new Peacock thing today.

Yeah, Peacock is going to take the place of NBC Sports Gold for the Premier League. If you sign up today I think you can still get it for $29.99 for the year. Better than the $50 for Gold.

Rare VVD mistake gifts them a goal. If he wasn't freakishly huge, he probably would get that foul called he was asking for.

Y'all are clearly in Operation Shutdown. You could at least try to win your last home match.

When do you think we'll get the new Nike kit reveal?

Arsenal are rumored to be playing their final match of the season in the new home kits for us. Liverpool might do the same.

Are they changing suppliers too? Just wonder what the out-going New Balance contract stipulates.

Didn't realize you guys were still NB this year. Definitely don't see the unveil occurring at a match then. I imagine that contract ends the final day of the season for y'all
jeffk
How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
Yeah, this is our last season with NB. Which is a mixed blessing I think. I've really liked the NB offerings, but the Nike money will be nice (I just hope they don't butcher the designs).
