KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum We need to talk about Daniel

Touchy subject I know but who wants to talk about him putting in more of a shift and not looking like a sulky git all the time

Is he setting up a stroppy I want out move or I am setting it up by annoying him with this thread?

Too greedy, made the wrong decisions tonight.

His face was very sulky when he got subbed but out of all the players on our team tonight he did not excel.


Do I think he is looking to move? Possibly.

I would rather play Origri than Sturridge anyway.

i don't like the man , which is hard for me cause i know how talented he is. But he is not playing well atm, never in the right place when we clear our lines and making bad decisions too..i am liking origi now too, great attitude, looks like a level headed guy... sorry but i think daniel is away with the fairies .. swap deal with amuryeguy or whatever his name is please lol

To be fair he's always been moody. I think he just needs to bide his time and appreciate that his time on the field is being managed while he gets fully fit after not playing regularly for about 18 months. I don't think he'll be fully up to speed until he's had a proper pre-season and until then i'm happy to see more of Origi, especially for the last half hour of games when the opposition are tired; he's so quick.

I don't think it's a mood thing, he just looks off the pace. That many injuries can't happen without taking a toll on the body. Sad to see.

Play seems to flow better when the ball goes to Firmino and Coutinho, even Lallana. Sturridge is not up to pace yet and play breaks down far too often when he gets the ball. There are times where he's a step too slow or moving into the wrong spaces and then he'll look back at the passer and goes "WTH?!"

We're at the business end of the season where every game is becoming like a cup final. We need to manage him so that hopefully he can be all guns blazing sooner rather than later. No point giving in to his sulk and let him play full games only to be out again.
Origi? Definitely looking a much better player under Klopp.

i thought he was the worst player for us. kept on being selfish and made all the wrong decisions

The worst one being that awful right foot shot he sliced out of the stadium after Coutinho danced through the Manc defence.

Yes he let the side down there he could have done a lot better then I am convinced he has mental problems related to his injuries actual or phantom he actually plays now which is a start point but something is fundamentally wrong what I don't know I suspect no one else does either he is very complex

No we don't need to talk about daniel just because he didn't score. Yes he was a bit off the pace, but he looked a bit tired in the second half, he did put a fair bit of energy into trying to track back.

Man utd did well to put liverpool until pressure when they had the ball (and we couldn't press them in groups so it was difficult for daniel to know where to position and pressurize infront of the man utd defence), even firmino found it hard. So what we need to talk about him aswell?
