Yes, we need a thread, nice work - but maybe the lack of one at this point was indicative of the excitement this particular World Cup is generating. Between the probably fraudulent award ceremony and the hasty and murderous infrastructure, I find it difficult to summon much enthusiasm.

At least now that Leeds are back in the big time for the first WC since 2002 (when we had four players in the England squad) there’s some local interest…. Although not with England.

USA!
USA!

I'd agree with you there. The UK media isn't talking about it at all.

I don't have much interest in it for a variety of reasons (top of which is my complete ambivalence towards International football) but I'm warming to it more lately for the possibility of it giving my team a collective 6 week head shake which might fix their Jeckyl & Hyde performances so far this season (like how da fuck do they beat Man City, West Ham and Ajax away but lose to the bottom two teams in the league!!!).
I don't think we have that many players joining up with their squads, due to them either being injured (Jota)..not qualified (Salah)..or just shit at the moment (take your pick).

Should Sterling and Henderson go? Should Harry Maguire?

On current form I'd say not. Southgate has spoken of not picking players who aren't performing well, or playing for their clubs.

Surprised they aint kicked out iran yet.
Maybe they will drone on in the post-match press conference. Lol

I would imagine that the heat is gonna make the matches like that advert for walking football. Ha ha

Southgate is full of shit if he's saying that, cos he had those Manc mooks playing in the last few Intl games when they couldn't get near their own teams' first 11.

I think the bigger question is which vegetable will he be likened to by the English press when they return home in abject failure, upon meeting the first decent team in the tournament.

Kev is right. Truth is, for a while there, he got them playing without fear, and the football flourished. Finalists!

But all those new players are now playing with exactly the same fear (of making an error and being slaughtered or losing their place) and hesitancy and caution and reserving energy (because prem is more important) as all the previous teams did, right back as far as the last time we played with shackles off, 96.

So we are back to little expectation and cheering on our prem teams foreign players.

If that’s how Klippety was thinking, no wonder we took the points. Seems our thrashing of Chelsea and fantastic performance (but baffling loss) against VARsenal didn’t set any alarm bells ringing. Maybe he’s just a bit stale after five years, plus a few players getting past their best. Did Leeds really collectively run 11 kilometres further than Liverpool? You can’t put all of that down to the possession stats. Plus VvD has rarely been as good as his reputation. Lost Rodrigo for the misplaced back pass, stood off Cry Summerville for the winner.

Principally, I want to boycott the whole event due to the human rights concerns, but I don't think I can resist the temptation when it eventually begins. To be fair, there will be some limitations in place nonetheless. From tomorrow, I lose all my TV channels (the apartment building owners want to save money by deleting the TV package that was included in the rent, and I cannot afford my own subscription), so I will not be able to watch those matches that air on the commercial TV2 channel. I will, however, be able to watch those on NRK (public broadcaster) by hooking up my PC to my TV and watching through the free webplayer.

I'd hold off on the crowing, TG.
Beating Liverpool at the moment in the Prem - with our soft underbelly - isn't such a scalp right now.
Forest got pummelled 5-0 a week after their 3 points off us.
And lest we forget...the season hasn't even got past 1/3 stage yet!!
I'm not making any bold predictions, but we were about 14 points behind Man City last season at Christmas and ran them so close on final day.
Plus, if Divok Origi had been playing instead of Darwin Nunez, those chances would have been buried and game over by the 1hr mark.

Definitely out of the World Cup:

Kalvin Phillips, Kyle Walker, N'Golo Kante, Paul Pogba, Georginio Wijnaldum, Diogo Jota

I’m not crowing, Kev, and even if I were we don’t often get the chance so I think I’d forgive myself! Don’t get me wrong, I don’t wish Liverpool ill - not while Man U and Everton still exist…

I could have wished for some acknowledgment from your manager that there was another team on the pitch on Saturday evening, though.

(What happened to Origi?)

No worries smile

Liverpool let Divok go on a free, at the same time Mane wanted out...and left.
Bringing in a raw, untested newbie who can't speak a word of English hasn't quite had the desired, perfect replacement effect.
And injuries to the likes of Jota and Diaz has compounded things.
We haven't really had to worry about chinks in our defence when our attack has been so busy worrying the oppo.
But I'm quite confident we will regroup and be there or thereabouts come seasons end.
Good luck with your season...apart from The Revenge At Elland Road (mwuuuhaaahaaahaaaa) wink

I reckon we'll see a different Liverpool after the break.

I agree with Thor that human rights are a legitimate concern. I'm especially concerned about any players or visitors who are gay and risk being arrested in Qatar.

Firmino gets to put his feet up for a month, Kev!

 By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member)

Yeah, more good news.
Every time I read about another LFC player not making their World Cup squad, it makes me happy.
Firmino is a strange one...he's been really good for us this season...one of our best performers.
At this rate, there'll only be Van Dyke and Henderson not getting a 6 week jollie.

Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford (Everton), Nick Pope (Newcastle), Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal)

Defenders: Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw (both Manchester United), Eric Dier (Tottenham), John Stones, Kyle Walker (both Manchester City), Kieran Trippier (Newcastle), Conor Coady (Everton), Ben White (Arsenal), Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)

Midfielders: Jude Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund), Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher (both Chelsea), Declan Rice (West Ham), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Kalvin Phillips (Manchester City)

Forwards: James Maddison (Leicester), Phil Foden, Jack Grealish (both Manchester City), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Raheem Sterling (Chelsea), Callum Wilson (Newcastle), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United)

Maddinson gets in. People talking about Toney and Roma striker Tammy Abrahams both not getting in.

Well i can tell you, whoever they leave out, you get whingeing.
Personally im pleased bowen didnt make it because hes been mostly shit for a year. Ditto antonio.
But madison has been superb and earned his squad place. Somehow i dont think they will be away long.
