He has basically been ruled out to return this season. Klopp expects him to be back for pre season.

while it would be lovely to see him back for the last game of the season or that, it’d be much better for our medical department to say naaa he’s not ready and keep him from going off to the euros too...

Pre season would be a good time to come back too- no big news story bout a return- just there, from the start of next season, good as new!

Having said that, I have had wet dreams bout him making his return in time for the champions league final and bossing it!

I'm confused, didn't you say he'd be ready in a few months?

Wasn't expecting that to be the decision that was made at all.

Great news. A few more months of rehab for VVD.

yip i think hendo should exactly be thinking the same.

Must be hard as England have a very good chance of winning it this summer, but hopefully he wants another title or two with liverpool just as much

True. I had to get rid of the "marital subservience" the other day as we had a massive row and I called her an arse. Need something to replace it. Plus, the worm has turned and you heard it here first.

Despite the injuries at the back, we've got the 5th best defence in the league, behind City, Chelsea, Arsenal and United - mind, we've played a couple of games less.

Injuries have changed the set up of our team especially Virgil.

But it has been Mane, Firmino and our impotent midfield that has fucked our season

They haven't performed as well as last year BECAUSE our 3 quickest and best CBs have been unavailable, this mean MF support has been less (injuries and playing CB) therefore the high press has been much more difficult. Even our FBs have raided less because they are protecting the CBs so the constant stream of wide support to the strkers has also been dimisnished. It's a team issue not just the players you blamed.

Compound that with having no leader on the pitch for most of the season when previously we've had two.

Just looking through the lens of goal conceded doesn't tell the whole story of the impact of losing VVD, Gomez and Matip.

I agree with all that, one other thing IMO that had also influenced things with the front three, without the high press they are starting deeper so are having to cover more ground to get forwards and into those scoring positions, the tiredness or extra yards in their legs are probably responsible for not being able to remain composed in front of goal hence the conversion rates dropping.

i know what you are saying. Hendo out as well has really hurt us.

However, Mane and Firmino have had shitload of chances to score goals. And they've fucked it up. I read in March that we had something like 115 shots on goal without scoring at Anfield. The misses of BF and SM have fucked us up. The newcastle game was a perfect example, we should have been 4 or 5 up at half time....... we fucked up at the end but the game should have been dead and buried long before that.

Not just Mane or Firmino though. You can put Mo as well in this bracket - missed a sitter vs Real and other games as well.

Things are what it is and I don't think there's any value over analysing why we've had a poor xG this season. I'm pretty sure this doesn't mean they've become poor at finishing all of a sudden. It could be simply down to split second hesitation (down to lack of confidence when you're in a rut).

Next season things will be different.

I agree that Salahs finishing has also been frustrating at times, but in the end of the day, he’s still challenging for the golden boot, so I reckon it’s mane and firmino that need to shoulder the blame for the lack of goals.

I agree and hope that they can bounce back and be back to their best next season- or at least Mane.. I’m starting to wonder whether Bobby is finished. I reckon having no crowds must affect them hugely too. Watching with the crowd sounds I kinda put it in the back of my mind, but once you turn that off, it really is like a training game without the fans... whether they’re cheering for you, or against you, the added adrenaline of having 50 thousand fans screaming in the stadium must have a huge impact on their game.
