Hi Eds, do you know if we are scouting Rodrigo Muniz of Fulham? He is playing well.
{Ed002's Note - No, Liverpool are not scouting him.}
07 Mar 2024 21:32:47
Hi eds, 2 players i like to ask about. Any chance Fabio Cavalho could come back Liverpool? 2nd player is Lucas Paquetá of westham, are we scouting him and what are chances he come Liverpool?
{Ed002's Note - FB will be sold. LP is of no interest to Liverpool.}
1.) 07 Mar 2024 21:59:53
Paqueta is potentially facing a ban similar to Toney and Tonali, believe that’s why City pulled out of the deal in the summer last minute.
2.) 07 Mar 2024 22:07:48
Will Fabio carvalho’s future not depend on the new manager? Think he’s a very decent youngster myself.
{Ed002's Note - He will be available to be sold.}
3.) 07 Mar 2024 22:10:05
For a profit?
4.) 07 Mar 2024 22:31:02
Would you value him at 10 million or above? A shame it didn’t work out, I personally think he would be an asset that is likely to get better. But if we sell it would be nice to make a buck, I suppose.
5.) 08 Mar 2024 06:29:58
Be tough for carvalho to get any game time at us . He’s effectively 7/ 8th choice attacker .
With the wealth of talent coming from Kirkby in this next batch of young lads keeping carvalho would be a bad idea .
6.) 08 Mar 2024 08:51:11
There’s no doubt Carvalho is a talented player but from what I hear he’s a bit disruptive in the dressing room.
Wasn’t happy he wasn’t playing and making all kinds of demands. So we sent him to Leipzig to not play there instead.
It’s a shame because if he just showed patience, bided his time he could be a really good Premier League player. Shame he’s not got Elliott’s attitude.
7.) 08 Mar 2024 09:11:07
He's not going to be making an impact in the first team in the near future. It makes sense to sell him. We will get a profit and if we think that there is a chance he will develop into a real quality player we can put a buy-back/ first refusal clause in the deal.
8.) 08 Mar 2024 10:37:16
Could look to another loan in the prem then assess the season after.
9.) 08 Mar 2024 10:23:48
BP, I completely agree with your post there.
I remember back to when Elliot was breaking through and Carvalho was bought, there were comparisons. At the time they were both playing in the front line, both of their 'likely preferred' positions were a No 10 (the Pipco role) and most folks were saying there's nowhere for them to fit in given the system we tend to play.
Elliot has kicked on, adapted his game (as all teenagers/ young players do) and is now a very valuable first team player.
Carvalho, for whatever reason, doesn't seem to have taken the same opportunity.
It's probably best for all parties if he were sold. I think given his age and talent, we should be looking at the £10-£20m range (probably somehwere in between) for him.
10.) 08 Mar 2024 12:27:24
Agree with Jones Red, makes sense.
11.) 08 Mar 2024 19:03:14
@Zed, good post mate - agree with your view of things.
12.) 09 Mar 2024 07:38:07
Hopefully we sell him for a profit. Otherwise take the small loss.
Either way much better situation then being stuck with Prima Donna’s on mega wages and massive transfer fees
Yeah, FSGs way makes sense.
29 Dec 2023 10:29:10
Dear Eds, I really need your advice, Girona is top La Liga ahead of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Athletico. Surely they have good players Liverpool can pick off. Do you recommend any?
{Ed002's Note - What they have is an exceptional coach so if Liverpool were to sack Klopp then it would be worth trying for Michel. As for the players, Daley Blind is having a good season - and is a left footed CB who can also play at LB that you all crave for.}
1.) 29 Dec 2023 11:51:40
Girona are part of City Group, Lee. I’d rather us not have any dealings with them.
2.) 31 Dec 2023 12:20:48
I think that Ed002 is having a laugh with us suggesting that we go for the failed United player Daley Blind who is even older than Virgil.
08 Dec 2023 16:18:17
So Nunes vs Guardiola spat was because during 1-4 loss to Citeh in. April this year, Guardiola ask Tsimikas if he enjoyed the goals citeh scored when tsimikas warm up and walk past Guardiola.
So Nunes shake Guardiola hands at 1-1 draw and ask him "did you enjoy the Liverpool goal? ".
1.) 08 Dec 2023 18:13:22
He’s horrible guardiola. Can’t stand him. Condescending Cnut.
2.) 08 Dec 2023 20:56:55
@Scouse John - Don’t get me started on Guardiola. Great manager but I cannot stand the guy. I find him pretentious as they come and in your own words a condescending see you next Tuesday.
3.) 08 Dec 2023 22:04:41
I like Nunez, nice to see someone with a pair of bollocks. Too many nice lads at times us lot. You need a few Nunez’s.
4.) 08 Dec 2023 22:05:20
Best thing to get on his nerves is win the League. That’ll keep him quiet for a while.
5.) 09 Dec 2023 07:43:40
Got a great chance this season @ Irish
Just need the forwards to click again and we are off . But great so see goals from other players in the team something we’ve lacked for years.
6.) 09 Dec 2023 09:35:41
Let's be honest, it's a crap retort that, we got bashed 4-1 by City in that game, bleating about a draw is nothing to be goading another manager about.
{Ed001's Note - how is it crap when it worked? I don't think you understand how goading works.}
7.) 09 Dec 2023 11:06:25
Is this guy talking about the game which we drew 1-1? If he's talking about it he definitely needs some help.
8.) 09 Dec 2023 17:05:54
I think Nunez has destroyed him. His head has gone atm. Picking fights with pundits declaring they going to win the league again and geeing up the opposition. Spitting his dummy out . Ha long may it continue.
9.) 09 Dec 2023 18:46:57
I'm not sure trolling someone about a 1-1 draw in response to the opposition trolling us about a game we lost 4-1 is great goading Ed001. It's goading I agree but it's not as if it came from a position of superiority.
{Ed001's Note - did Guardiola get wound up? Yes. So it seems to have had the desired effect, so no idea what you are trying to say. Who cares about position of superiority when you are attempting to wind someone up? It is just whether it winds them up or not that matters.}
10.) 09 Dec 2023 20:17:08
@SJL8 - it’s just part of the game - someone trying to mess with an opponents head. Thing is, them doing it just goes to show that they think you are a threat. No reaction is the best way to deal with stuff like that.
11.) 10 Dec 2023 10:44:56
Wdw im with ED01 i think its had the desired effect, brilliant. Mind games part of the game. It’s ok losing with class as long as the team that beats you shows class in the win. You reap what you sew.
12.) 11 Dec 2023 08:49:00
It was brilliant from Nunez, Just shows Pep can give it but can't take it YNWA.
13.) 11 Dec 2023 10:13:08
I think Johnny's trying to wind you up, Tris.
Don't rise to it!
25 Nov 2023 21:36:59
Hi Eds, been following U17 World cup. This no. 10 from Argentina CLAUDIO ECHEVERRI just scored a hat trick vs Brazil. Do you know if Liverpool or any clubs tracking him?
{Ed002's Note - Huge interest from Europe but not Liverpool.}
1.) 26 Nov 2023 07:55:54
Thank you eds for insight. Such a shame we are not tracking these talents.
2.) 26 Nov 2023 09:26:59
What do you mean by “these talents”? How many and which talents aren’t the club tracking? Can you name them please?
3.) 26 Nov 2023 13:36:16
@WDW3 a very simple example just look at Brighton, how is it they are able to purchase young players with such high ceiling at fraction of price? You want example of "these talents"? Ok Jude Bellingham, Mitoma, Calceido, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Rafael Leao .
Why are we not able be first club to scout and pick these players but rather have to buy them over at exorbitant price. Eds have already confirmed Brighton has a better recruitment team, i bet they are watching closely this U17 tournament, and probably our scouts are somewhere in pubs.
There you have it. I rest my case.
{Ed001's Note - utter nonsense, you clearly do not understand scouting or recruitment. We can't buy them because they are not ready for our team, but Brighton can because they are not as good so the youngsters have a chance of playing.}
4.) 26 Nov 2023 15:25:22
If that's your case Lee I won't be employing your services if you're a lawyer lad.
5.) 26 Nov 2023 18:28:15
You’re making it sound like we haven’t got any talented youngsters in our team .
6.) 27 Nov 2023 05:56:27
You so realise that with szobo and macca being here there won't be a spot for him to play in the next 7-8 years right.
7.) 27 Nov 2023 13:34:33
Lee, your brilliant insight and "case" is everflowing (and continuing from the live chat, I must add) . Your view of football recruitment is as simplistic and lop-sided as can be, when it is actually a complex issue with loads of risk. Why not mention the young talents who did not make it into the world class talent pool you've mentioned? What are the numbers? The successes versus the young kids who didn't make it into "Bellingham territory"? Is it 1 for 1 (one success for one failing to live up to expectations or is it 1 to 10 or 15 or 20?) . If you did that then you'd realize that your case is actually no case at all.
8.) 26 Nov 2023 22:59:53
I love it when know it all’s get put in their place. ?.
9.) 26 Nov 2023 23:55:39
If I’m being honest @Lee, your opinion seems to show a fair bot of disrespect to the club, the coaching staff and in particular to the club scouts and the youngsters the club have brought in and who are coming through out Academy system.
It’s easy to pluck names out of the air and adopt an attitude that the ‘grass is always greener’ but as Ed01 says circumstances are different for other clubs and our policy is to target younger players with the potential to become first team (at least squad) members, before they make it into the public eye. As an example, and to Ed01’s point, we were tracking Bellingham when he was a kid at Birmingham but he wanted to go to Germany where he was offered first team opportunities that he wouldn’t have got at Liverpool. We were interested when he wanted to step up from Dortmund but his preference was to go to Real Madrid. I’m fairly sure that the names you mention have been of interest to Liverpool but sometimes players also just want to go somewhere else.
10.) 27 Nov 2023 21:21:58
Lee, this topic is clearly not your strong point cos it seems you are giving simplistic answers that anyone can give, to severely complex topics.
Hence, you should propbably do a lot more research on it rather than mentioning Brighton as some kind of role model whereas, they have nowhere near the type of ambition LFC have. Just a thought.
11.) 28 Nov 2023 07:19:01
@ed001, i challenge your hypothesis, yes, its just your hypothesis that Brighton is a club not good enough so they play or gamble with youngsters. I quote you a counter example- Napoli. They scout and recruited Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Victor Osimhen, Kim Min Jae. 3 world class players at fraction of value they will cost now. Please refute me. My assertion: Liverpool scouting and recruitment is in sleep mode regarding potential, raw talents.
{Ed001's Note - what are you talking about? What the hell is Napoli to do with anything? For starters Kvaradona was wanted by half of Europe but Napoli could offer him first team football, unlike most. Osimhen is in no way world class anyway. Good player but has a lot of work to do to become world class. Napoli again offered him first team football, so he chose them over other offers. How do you know Liverpool were sleeping when they joined Napoli. I can answer that for you - you have no idea.}
12.) 28 Nov 2023 08:41:00
Hi ed0001, i quote Napoli as example because you said "Brighton can because they are not as good so the youngsters have a chance of playing"
Brighton not so good. ok marginally agreed. Napoli? They wacked us 4-1.
{Ed001's Note - still not relevant and shows how little you understand as you forget where they were when they bought those players.}
13.) 28 Nov 2023 10:25:01
Lee are you AI? I'm getting AI vibes.
14.) 28 Nov 2023 12:57:22
Didnt Napoli pay like 75 mil for osimhen? In what world is that something to bring up in a conversation about Young and raw talents for peanuts.
15.) 28 Nov 2023 17:45:56
Don’t think we in any position to criticise the club scouting since klopp came. Couple of players it hasn’t worked out for couple others blighted by injuries. Every other seems to have been a success.
16.) 28 Nov 2023 22:35:11
Napoli must have been sleeping when we signed mo salah from their neighbours.
17.) 29 Nov 2023 05:02:15
Ed1 - this convo with Leek is hurting my brain haha. I think some people don’t quite see the nuance. They just see this happening over there and assume it can happen here. Meanwhile totally disregarding that we have turned plenty of bargain transfers into superstars. So even the premise to suggest that we don’t or can’t do what the likes of Brighton / Napoli do in principle is purely not true.
The other thing about it is that we make an assumption that the players Napoli signed would have either been straight into the starting line-up or prepared to bide their time on the bench. Marginal either way for all of those guy.
{Ed001's Note - exactly. It just shows a lack of understanding of reality.}
18.) 29 Nov 2023 07:27:31
There’s data, which has the potential to be turned into information, which has the potential, in its turn, to be turned into knowledge, which has the potential to turn into wisdom. This thread is definitely paddling in the shallow end.
19.) 29 Nov 2023 18:01:57
Ed01, I think you should abort mission on this one cos the longer you keep going, the less intelligent you're going to look.

Assuming salah sold 150mil and we spend 130mil to get Musiala. Is it possible?
1.) 01 Mar 2024 21:16:21
Mathematically, obviously!
2.) 01 Mar 2024 21:17:17
Salah doesn’t play for Arsenal though.
3.) 01 Mar 2024 21:42:44
I don't see us getting that much for Salah. Probably be around £60m. This was the season we would have got around the amount you're suggesting.
4.) 01 Mar 2024 21:44:27
Let me guess, he scored today?
5.) 01 Mar 2024 22:43:04
He would be way down the list.
6.) 01 Mar 2024 23:29:54
Spot on Thunderbird 2.
7.) 01 Mar 2024 23:38:33
Yup it’s absolutely doable. I swapped Mo to Bayern +40mil. Probably over spent but Musiala is the future!
8.) 02 Mar 2024 00:47:49
Doesn’t Musiala play LW/ AM? Also pretty sure ed said Liverpool had zero interest.
9.) 02 Mar 2024 08:31:02
IF! we had to swap Salah for anyone, I would rather go all out for Victor Osimhen. Think he had a realise clause of just north of 100m put in to his new contract and the goals he would bring to the team would go a long way to replacing Mo’s. With Victor central, Darwin on the left and Diaz on the right, that would be a front line that would scare the pants of any opposition. Might even try and get him without selling Salah, and play them together for a year or 3!
{Ed001's Note - Osimhen is a bit Lukaku-like for me. Can have a loose touch at times. Better than Lukaku, but still not sure it is suited to the Prem at the top end. I would not be interested in him personally as a replacement for Salah. Plus he is a Chelsea fan looking for a move there. He is an avoid for me.}
10.) 02 Mar 2024 08:44:09
Who would your pick be then Ed001? IF…you had to reinvest the “Salah money”?
{Ed001's Note - probably someone like Wirtz maybe. I don't know to be honest, I have not given it any thought as I am hoping that he stays a bit longer.}
11.) 02 Mar 2024 08:45:20
West Derby Wanderer3, that killed me, bro. Not sure why @Leek cares about Salah and whether he goes or he stays neither. Arsenal can't afford him, anyway.
12.) 02 Mar 2024 08:51:41
With no manager or Dof in place yet for next season who would be making the decision now on who would be outgoing and who is incoming.
I’d imagine the 3 huge contacts that need looking at will be decided from the business side of things as a new manager won’t have the luxury of time to make up his mind.
Although I’d imagine most managers would want to keep all 3.
13.) 02 Mar 2024 10:31:12
Oshimen is right footed and we also have Darwin so can’t see how he would fit into our team or indeed be a good replacement for Salah. Wirtz is also right footed, so again we could end up with our forward line predominantly right footed ?.
Off course if a new manager comes in he might have different ideas about setup, who knows ?♂️.
14.) 02 Mar 2024 14:58:03
Musiala would be TOP of the list for me! Absolute top player.
{Ed002's Note - The obsession with Chelsea youngsters continues.}
15.) 02 Mar 2024 14:58:03
Musiala would be TOP of the list for me! Absolute top player.
{Ed001's Note - good shout.}
16.) 02 Mar 2024 22:08:41
Crazy to think how many youngsters have left Chelsea and have been successful. Bad management or just buying whoever shows interest maybe their downfall.
17 Feb 2024 16:37:27
Wake up if you think being top of league means you are best. Arsenal is in title winning form. Last week 6-0 away westham, this week 4-0 away burnley, both difficult places to go.
1.) 17 Feb 2024 17:09:54
Leek I think it’s safe to say that all 3 sides Us, Arsenal and City are in title winning form hence any we are all so close at the top on points and goal difference.
Arsenal got themselves a great result today but so did we. Over to you City.
2.) 17 Feb 2024 17:14:28
West ham are in horrible form and Burnley are just horrible.
3.) 17 Feb 2024 17:16:06
Who said we were the best? Who needs to wake up?
We are top of the league which says that we are the team with the vest form so far this season.
4.) 17 Feb 2024 17:17:57
Being top of the league does mean you have the best record of any team to date. Factually speaking, that's how the league table works.
5.) 17 Feb 2024 17:33:30
@JK23, if a side can lose 3-1 to ArsenL, it is definitely not in title winning form. A title winning form doesn't let in cheap goals like the one by Toney.
6.) 17 Feb 2024 17:38:37
I would say beating Brentford on the road, 4-1, having several key players out is also pretty good form but I'm not a professional.
7.) 17 Feb 2024 17:42:22
Leek all teams lose mate including Arsenal and City.
Title winning form is over 38 games because no team ever wins the title just finishing the season strong.
And in regards to cheap goals they cost the exact same as letting In world class goals. It’s ensuring you score more goals than the opposition
I’m sure we’d love to win the league playing perfect every week but truth id snap your hand off right now to win this seasons league playing the worst kind of football in our history over the next 13 games.

Leek is a Man U supporter.
17.) 17 Feb 2024 19:02:36

Arsenal are in great form yes but we don’t need to be blowing teams away we only need 3 points wether that’s a 1-0 win or a 5/ 6 -0 win I don’t care .
It’s in our hands . ??.

Lol "letting in a goal like Toney's isn't title winning form". Didn't realise outscoring the opponent was a bad thing. Good job we don't win all 38 league games 4-1 then or we'd be screwed ?.
11 Feb 2024 22:25:11
Seem like top teams like Arsenal, Citeh, manU, Spurs are going full throttle, intense on biz end of season. If we don't buck up, we will end season with nothing.
1.) 11 Feb 2024 22:36:23
Yet we are the ones at the top of the league and the only team out of the "top teams" to be in a final so far.
Unreal.
2.) 11 Feb 2024 23:13:13
Buck up from what?
3.) 12 Feb 2024 00:12:08
If you look at PL clubs’ form you over their last 5 league games only City have gained more points than us - your observation is ridiculous @Lee.
4.) 12 Feb 2024 00:39:53
I think the last time Leek regarded Liverpool as “top team” was in the 90s and 00s when he was a Man Utd fan bemoaning SAF’s lack of European success and calling for him to get the sack.
5.) 12 Feb 2024 01:01:16
All those “top teams” who are coincidently not top.
6.) 12 Feb 2024 05:55:51
Are we going half throttle or something lol.
7.) 12 Feb 2024 06:16:36
Manchester United? The club that is 13 points behind us? You continue to embarrass yourself. You lack of football knowledge is matched only by your obsession with average Asian football players.
8.) 12 Feb 2024 06:39:04
Lee can I suggest you watch Carl Barron for an hour.
9.) 12 Feb 2024 07:32:32
Leek I’m guessing you’ve gone for a few nibbles here.
Currently we have the most hotly contested league title chase in premier league history and we are currently top of the pile.
It looks very much like the battle for the title is between us, City and Arsenal and then 4-6 it’s Spurs, Villa and Utd.
The advantage we potentially have is that Arsenal and City have to go full throttle in the CL whilst we could still utilise our squad in the Europa.
The disadvantage we have is that our squad is hit with injuries so we might actually lose that better squad advantage.
Looking at the fixtures all the top 6 teams still have to play each other and I think City on paper have the hardest games left as they have to play them all including Chelsea.
Whoever wins the league this season will have to fight till the very end for it.
I think there’s lots of twists and turns to go but I’d love to see Klopp go out with that open top bus around Liverpool with the premier league trophy.
What a send off that would be to the great man.
10.) 12 Feb 2024 08:58:09
For all you naysayers, did you watch arsenal beat westham away 6-0? Did you watch the swagger no panic performance of Citeh over Everton?
We lost against arsenal, it was a bad performance against a team determined correct past mistakes, they are learning.
The top of league position is deceptive as city has a game in hand. I am talking about the performance, which so far is not title winning.
11.) 12 Feb 2024 09:07:42
Hopefully we should have a few more players back for this weekend Allison, Gomez, Konate maybe Salah and Saboz. would be nice to have Connor but I understand if he’s not ready.

JK23, ill counter that by saying our short term injuries could be to our advantage as those players are resting before the run-in. Whichever clubs get their first-team players injured in March/ April could find themselves hamstrung (excuse the pun) .
13.) 12 Feb 2024 08:23:20
I think if you left off Spurs and United, you would have got a better reaction. You made it too ridiculous to get serious reactions.
14.) 12 Feb 2024 09:43:36
Idreamofgin I think I didn’t explain truly what I meant in my first comment mate. I was talking advantage of being able to use our squad in Europe as City and Arsenal won’t be able too.
I expect all 3 teams to go as strong as physically possible in the league games from here in depending on fitness and injuries.
In Europa we’ve made 8 plus changes to weekend games.
15.) 12 Feb 2024 10:45:05
Leek not a naysayer mate. Just a difference of opinion. Keep posting away as I enjoy reading your posts regardless of if they are the opposite to mine.
16.) 12 Feb 2024 10:55:05
Would that be the same West Ham that we dismantled in the cup a couple weeks ago?
The same City that Liverpool got a creditable draw away from home against?
If you can't squeeze any joy out of the season so far then you’re in the wrong sport.
17.) 12 Feb 2024 10:29:34
We’ve done so well with basically half our first team squad since late December! Imagine us soon now that everyone is coming back from injuries.
City are our biggest rivals this season. Arsenals first team is very good but for me a few injuries can unravel them fast. Not to mention they’ve got away games left at the big teams which doesn’t favour them.
Either way let’s just enjoy the ride lads and Klopps final season. I remember how bad it got before klopp came and I’m just so glad we’ve got to really enjoy the football since he arrived.
18.) 12 Feb 2024 11:22:15
We didn’t play very well on Saturday, but Trafford made 7 saves.
Pickford made 1. I didn’t watch the City game, but I’m assuming from that stat that it wasn’t a walkover.
I know Everton aren’t a poor side but even without the 10 point deduction they’d still be lower half.
It doesn’t sound like City are flying to me.
Arsenal had a great result, but things can change very quickly in football.
All 3 teams are excellent on their day and will win the majority of their remaining games.
As JK says, whoever wins is going to have to fight for it.
They’ll need to play well, dig out some results, and have some luck along the way.
I just hope the team that wins in the end really deserve it, and that it’s not decided by some dodgy refereeing decisions.

"If we don't buck up, we will end season with nothing. "
Leek you see, I was with you until the absolute train wreck of a statement above. I know you like to make these comments to get a reaction and clearly it worked BUT seriously, that last part makes no sense at all.
Oh and I did see Arsenal beat WH 6-0. The same WH team we battered 5-1 and 3-1 and Anfield. The same WH that got cooked 5-0 at the mighty Fulham and smoke 3-0 at The Toilet. So what? We lost to Arsenal. Again, so what? We should pack it in and onto next season? City have a game in hand. You do know that we will also have a game in hand as well next week cos of the Cup final? You are also aware that if w win all our remaining games this season, we will WIN the title? Mate, do you even do any research at all before you spout your stuff? Clearly, not.
Look Leek, it seems you are trying to convince yourself by trying to convince others that we won't win the title and that an opinion you can have. However IMO, There's no need to start making strange and negative comments and calling people "naysayers" cos they disagree. Mate, get a grip.
20.) 12 Feb 2024 11:28:40
I kind of get Leeks point regarding the performances. We have had a fair few games were we have been very shaky and needed a late goal or two to win it. Also, if some of the teams we played against finished their chances, it could be a totally different story.
It seems City have started one of their annoyingly good winning runs at the right time. They are also coasting through games and importantly, keeping clean sheets. With KDB and Haaland back, it is going to be very difficult to look beyond City winning another title.
21.) 12 Feb 2024 11:42:44
I think we have looked better as the season has gone on myself. The early months looked a bit dodgy at times but we had a whole new midfield so we can forgive them. We seem to have gelled as a team as the seasons progressed and even rode out a period of injuries/ Asian and African cups. I think we are in great shape for the last leg of the season.
22.) 12 Feb 2024 12:25:07
"it is going to be very difficult to look beyond City winning another title. ".
IMO, That will only be a thing IF anyone thought this would be easy. Many of us already know it will be very difficult and Im pretty sure the players and the staff know that as well. I don't think there is any need to be reminded of such things over and over again which many people think Leek is doing as if he is trying to convince himself by convincing the rest of us that we will find it tough to win the title.
News Flash: We all already knew that. No point reminding us of the flipping obvious. And then calling the rest of us "naysayers" cos we disagree with his take. That's not on, in my view either.
23.) 12 Feb 2024 13:26:18
Thing is. Performances don’t win titles, wins and points do.
So far so good….
24.) 12 Feb 2024 13:45:36
Ok so I watched City against Everton and to me they looked like they were struggling. They weren’t coasting or conserving energy they were struggling to create any chances of note. They then scored with their first attempt on target in the 70th minute from a set piece with a lucky deflection falling to Haaland. Even then Pickford should’ve saved it.
We created chance after chance against Burnley. It could and should’ve been more than 3-1 yet according to some it’s us that’s struggling?
Yes if Burnley take their chances it’s a different game just like if Everton take their chances it’s a different game for City. That’s football!
Arsenal winning 6-0 at West Ham is irrelevant the first 3 goals were from set pieces and West Ham just threw in the towel after the second goal. They didn’t put in a single tackle in the whole game actually.
It amazes me how so called Liverpool fans are so quick to laud other teams yet can’t see that our team are a results machine. We get the job done time and time again but because the opposition has a chance in the game we have to buck our ideas up? Seriously?
25.) 12 Feb 2024 13:56:19
Oli, its all a game of opinions at the end of the day. I think every LFC fan wishes to send Klopp off with another PL title and there may be some that constantly put down our chances purely so they don't feel to disappointed if/ when we don't win the title.
At least Leeks post has sparked a decent discussion, the banter page has been a bit slow the last few weeks for some reason, so I'mm up for seeing some fresh posts.
26.) 12 Feb 2024 16:38:39
Of course we judge teams on one performance and then start panicking.
Arsenal can win all their games from now until the end of the season with as much swagger as they want being 5-0 up inside 20 minutes.
They are relying on Liverpool dropping points to stay in the race so Arsenal are irrelevant.
It’s easy to play well when your chasing, much harder when you’re top of the pile - as Arsenal know only too well.
27.) 12 Feb 2024 18:21:52
At least he is consistent with his "surprising" (the mildest word I could think of) posts. ?.
28.) 12 Feb 2024 18:47:49
Ah Leek, that would be the West Ham that currently haven’t won (now) in 7 games and Everton who have won one in 11. Real benchmark results for Arsenal and City those.
For much of the season we have shown grit and determination. In a tight title battle that goes a long way.
01 Feb 2024 11:38:51
A testament to how great a man Klopp is. He is walking away from a team that is prime to achieve greatness, trophies next season. He built it, and then let it go. Most manager will milk the squad til it wanes but not klopp. He left Liverpool in best shape possible and will leave accolades to next manager. that's selfless and he just want the club to do well.
1.) 01 Feb 2024 11:57:33
I agree Lee. It really leaves in a much better position than Ferguson left United in when he left.
2.) 01 Feb 2024 12:52:28
Could be argued that this is our best ever squad strength and depth wise.
When we won the league we had Alison, Trent, Vvd, Robbo (who are all still here) and then Hendo’s leadership and the expectations on Salah and Mane to get the goals or Bobby to produce a bit of magic.
Last night it felt like every player on the pitch be it starting or coming off the bench could be a match winner and are a leader for us and that’s not even mentioning Mo who’s currently out injured.
This squads potential is endless. It’s just who will be at the helm to guide them.
03 Jan 2024 07:07:32
Already looking forward to next season when we will face the big guns in Champions League. We will fight and bring the likes of Ballet Football teams like PSG, Real Madrid down to our Heavy Metal level and then destroy them. Can't wait to get one over Ancelotti and Real Madrid!
1.) 03 Jan 2024 09:24:24
Isn't it a bit early for that, mate. Not dampening your excitement but we do have a full half of a season to play still and anything can happen.
2.) 03 Jan 2024 10:32:00
Leek - just enjoy this season otherwise you’ll end up accidentally wishing your life away.
3.) 03 Jan 2024 10:48:33
I think this idea of getting one over on Madrid needs to stop ?.
4.) 03 Jan 2024 11:56:47
Be careful what you wish for Leek mate. I for one would be happy if we never play Real Madrid again. They seem to have some kind of voodoo curse on us, as they have beaten us so many times over the past few years no matter how in form we are.
5.) 03 Jan 2024 12:10:42
Don’t wish your life away. As for RM I am sure they would be favourites to beat us.
6.) 03 Jan 2024 14:51:11
They would mark, right now they are superior, they have an incredible team and should be respected. They've built for the future and in the next season or 2 it'll be seen more so.
7.) 03 Jan 2024 16:41:19
Spot on, Bobby Banana. RM have us in a psychological vice atm so they can do one for now.
8.) 03 Jan 2024 17:10:10
Leekuanyew
We're only 6 points ahead of 5th.
Remember a couple of seasons ago when we lost 4 games in a row and 6 out of 7 games, including 4 at home? No, because you only started following LFC last year.
Chickens. hatched. etc.
9.) 03 Jan 2024 17:47:48
@OneKiss, for some of us it was never a ‘thing’ to begin with.
19 Mar 2024 11:25:31
@Ron, i agree, anyone who does not turn up with games vs ManU deserved to be sold.
15 Mar 2024 07:09:15
Nagelsmann was unfairly fired by Bayern. His style of play is very good and unpredictable against park bus team. His Leipzig team easily defeated Athletico Madrid in past.
11 Mar 2024 15:19:40
@coolerthanfonz, if players can adoat so well, pray tell me why Klopp need to clear out at least half the team built by Brendan Roger and need to bring in the players Klopp needed to play gegenpressing and heavy metal. Playeds have specialised skill, u don't ask VVd to play striker because he can adapt or Drawin nunez play GK simply because he can adapt.
I hereby rest my case.
10 Mar 2024 21:06:42
@Beckers pecker, i disagree alonso for Liverpool is "he’s taking over a young, talented squad"
This squad in Liverpool doesn't play Alonso's system, it is perfect for playing Kloppss style. So alonso will have a hard time getting rid of players who don't suit his style and acquire players who does. It will be 1 transition year. This is base on statistics shown by Carragher. Liverpool play mix of long, short passes but Leverkusen is almost totally short passess more akeen to City style.
10 Mar 2024 21:02:01
Just settle for Nagelsmann, please don't get hopes high on Alonso.
15 Mar 2024 14:20:21
@Kloppers, i do share your view point. Leverkusen could actually underestimate west ham. West ham is playing top football by the way they crush Freiburg. Will be real test for Leverkusen.
10 Mar 2024 21:00:31
We should not sugar coat. The target was to beat City, and we failed. The target was to maintain top position in league table, we failed. Real men don't sugar coat, and VVD in interview got it spot on, it was bitter sweet. We failed as team and as a club this evening.
10 Mar 2024 18:32:12
Please add Memphis De-pay to group.
08 Mar 2024 12:00:22
Ed001, you meant high wages but low transfer fees?
{Ed001's Note - no I did not, I meant high wages. If I mean but low transfer fees I would have said it.}
04 Mar 2024 04:15:10
To keep all players happy, we need to challenge for quadruple every season.
