OP, Okay then. Anything else?

08 Jul 2023 12:47:38
We need a DM more than a new CB, if just one more player to buy, then it should be a DM, a DM who can deputy as a CB, but primarily a DM. A DM that can go straight into the first 11 and give Fabinho a run for his money.

1.) 08 Jul 2023 13:06:56
Fabinho was quality at CB. wonder if this would be considered if a DM is signed.

2.) 08 Jul 2023 14:15:06
Why can we only buy one more player? Why do this to yourself?

We have to refresh midfield AND central defence. So let's get on with it like a normal club.

3.) 08 Jul 2023 14:16:50
I remember Fabinho being pretty poor at CB. Not suited to it at all.

4.) 08 Jul 2023 14:43:12
Fabinho was awful at CB, he pushed up too high, stepped forward too often and dived in too much, great when you win the ball but leaves you totally exposed when you don’t. Further to that, we’re now playing the back three system which requires fast mobile defenders, Fabs problem this season has been that he has looked leggy without others around him, playing as a right sided cb is just going to further exploit these deficiencies in his game. If he is playing he plays at DM for me!

5.) 08 Jul 2023 23:34:36
Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams improved our defence from when we had Fabinho and Henderson back there.

Somebody else said recently that Fabinho can play left back and a few people said right back. At least he used to play right back previously so that's understandable, however he really isn't suited there, at all.

Let's just hope he can recover some form for defensive midfield and if he's playing as poor as most of last season then hopefully he won't be playing much. He's still young enough to come back but it's already last chance saloon for him at Liverpool.

6.) 09 Jul 2023 11:04:40
As much as I like Fabs he bloody wasn’t good at CB. We were much better with Phillips and Williams, two players very likely to take the next steps in their career at championship and league 1 levels respectively. Titus Bramble would have been better at CB than Fabs.

7.) 09 Jul 2023 12:36:26
Williams and Phillips were better because Fabinho went back into midfield. So they had some protection, which Fabinho did not have when he was playing at the back. I’m not advocating that Fabinho should play at the back now, by the way. And if he is to continue playing in midfield, he will need Trent playing h the inverted full back alongside him.

The return of Salah has brought speed back (at least in the attack), it was painful watching Elliot and MacAllister in a counter situation, usually seems everyone was in slow motion.
The match against ManU must be taken as serious as possible, and i am not talking about only the players, but the supporters must especially - yes i know we are away.

1.) 02 Apr 2024 11:21:32
Salah is still a wonderful player but there was one stage against Brighton when he was played thru that it was obvious that the old legs don’t go as quick as they used to. Still a joy to watch tho.

2.) 02 Apr 2024 11:56:21
Was at the game on Sunday. I thought Salah had an absolute nightmare of a game. A view shared by those around me. Still came up trumps when we needed him though. We definitely need him firing on all cylinders for the run in though.

3.) 02 Apr 2024 12:32:51
What’s people’s thoughts on what we do with Salah.

Realistically we can’t afford to let him walk away on a free so do we renew his contract on big wages at the same time Vvd and Trent are after renewals or do we sell in the summer.

Personally I’d love to see Salah, Trent and Vvd all sign new contracts but it’s not me paying the wages.

4.) 02 Apr 2024 12:39:54
Rome same mate. But Salah didn’t have his best game compared to the elite standards he has set over the years.

Not many footballers in world football have set the bar of consistency As high as he has over the years.

I have no doubts he is going to be an integral part of the team for the run in.

5.) 02 Apr 2024 12:47:12
As much as I love Salah I do wish he would pass to a teammate instead of trying to score all the time.

The volley over the bar would have been spectacular but the easy option was to square it to Nunez, 2nd half there was a similar chance to pass to Diaz.

As we enter this crucial stage of the season the decision making from the strikers has to be better, when to shoot and when to pass.

We are wasting too many chances to put games to bed, its already cost us in the FA cup, we cannot allow it to cost us in the PL and EL.

The winning goal was a thing of beauty, 2 superb passes and a great finish, if ever a goal summed up the Klopp era it was that one.

6.) 02 Apr 2024 12:55:09
I love Salah. I do feel like he's on a slow decline. he's changed his game somewhat to compensate for losing some pace. His numbers are still good. However his goal scoring numbers would be rather ordinary if he wasn't on pens (i think Mac should be on pens from now on) . If the Saudis are thinking of offering crazy money and he's not wanting to sign a new contract anyway then we have to sell. Even if he was planning to sign a bumper extension I think its a risk to not take a big offer considering his age. he's not likely to get back to his best and he's just had a hamstring injury and is usually not a sufferer of those sorts of inuries. It's such a hard decision to make but i think that if the club have identified a quality replacement (not sure who) and would reinvest his transfer fee and wages back into player recruitment then selling him might be prudent.

7.) 02 Apr 2024 13:40:59
Wouldn't worry so much about salah, he kept getting in2 the positions just his final pass/ shot let him down. Knowing salah over years that will come. Worry for me would be gakpo and nunez, gakpo has been ppoor for a while and nunez poor last couple of games as well, neither look like scoring. We definitely will need both to step up if we to win league, both are good players who have showed there ability in the past and we need them 2 show it again.
Szobo 2nd half performance against brighton v encouraging hopefully he getting back to his best, he hasn't hit the form he showed at start of season for a while.

8.) 02 Apr 2024 13:50:25
He’s definitely lost some pace and that - as well as his strength on the ball - was his best attribute.

I thought he had a terrible first half and I turned to my mate and said “Salah’s playing rubbish so he’ll get the winner”.

I’d sell him this summer.
New manager, new style, will need some funds.

He’s been a superb player but time to move on.

9.) 02 Apr 2024 14:22:50
Salah’s numbers are still good despite his age starting to show. I have a feeling if Saudi Arabia offer the reported £200 million this summer, or even £150 million. Edwards is sending an email back saying offer accepted, faster than you blink. So personally I have mentally prepared myself for his departure but equally as happy if he stays.

10.) 02 Apr 2024 14:25:27
Salah is just back from a hamstring injury. he's a bit rusty and is not going to run full pelt just yet. He will come good for the final stretch, no doubt.
Having said that, i would sell in the summer while we can get a decent fee.

11.) 02 Apr 2024 15:18:15
It's the sheer timing of his runs that's brilliant and the volume of runs. It is just very very hard to defend.

Add to that a Trent or Alexis or both and it will cause every team in the world problems.

Salah is still easily a world class player at today's level.

12.) 02 Apr 2024 15:20:01
Maybe he is in decline and maybe it wasn't his best game but he still came away from it with the assist for Diaz's goal, the winning goal himself, and what would've been another assist if Diaz had held his run by a tenth of a second. He's still to my knowledge, the only player in the Premier League with more goal involvements than appearances this season! As long as he's putting the ball in the net, and goals on a plate for his team mates, I can live with him looking a little jaded at times!

13.) 02 Apr 2024 15:34:47
Some harsh comments here! He's only played about 4 games since Xmas! He's not fully fit!

14.) 02 Apr 2024 16:30:24
Salah is also fasting for Ramadan for another 8 days so maybe that's why he was about sluggish at the weekend.

15.) 02 Apr 2024 18:54:02
Great points MK and Xabibol, man is measured by absolutely crazy standards. Could win the golden boot this yearas a wide forward who basically missed 3 months of the season.

16.) 02 Apr 2024 20:37:55
It looks like it’s Amorim coming, and if that’s the case I’m more than excited. I bring that up because if we do decide to keep Salah, Amorim will play him in the same position on paper but he will be way more closer to goal. Similar to how he played against Brighton. If that’s the case we could see his numbers go up even further, which is crazy.

17.) 02 Apr 2024 21:22:36
Salah has still clocked 22.7 mph this season - same speed as Dembele and Traore and only out run by Gordon, Mudryk, Adeyemi and Rudiger and only by 0.1 to 0.5 mph.

18.) 03 Apr 2024 01:59:56
I really don't understand where some people are coming from. Who do we have to buy to get what he brings? the assists and goals, where does that come from if we were to sell him?

I'd agree he is slowly on the decline but it is just that, it's a slow one. He's not as fast as he used to be which is just natural, it's bound to happen but he is still offering so much. In my opinion as long as he's doing what he's doing we'd be daft to sell.

Look at the bigger picture, I don't know stats but I think it'd be certain without Salah's goals and assists this season we'd be out of the title race by now. This kind of player is a one off and one we should enjoy, selling him is daft talk.

Sod the saudis and sod the money, FSG has always provided for us when needed and I trust they'll do it again without having to sell our top players.

Unless we just want to go on a selling spree? Sell Salah, Alisson, VVD, Trent? come off it. You don't sell your best players.

Us fans, we don't need to think about the financial side of things, what we do need to think about is how well a player is doing for us and how well as a team we're doing. Forget Saudi and the money, think about what this lad is doing for us. When he's gone, trust me he will be missed. I'd much rather him leave when he's down and out for free then selling him when he scores as many as he currently is doing.

19.) 03 Apr 2024 07:31:23
Salah's all around game has been in decline for a while now. His numbers are incredible no doubt but his all around play is not good. Lots of people on here, some eds included used to say Jota was the weak link in the team because other than scoring he didn't offer anything to the team, slowing up play, having poor touches and being the main reason counterattacks broke down. Sorry but I never saw this and would say that is exactly what Salah is now. Absolute legend of a player and I hope he stays because like Jota and Virgil I think he can get back to a better all around standard, but I think if a decent offer comes in, like Ed002 suggests is likely, I think the club will sell.

20.) 03 Apr 2024 11:09:55
Salah is so frustrating to watch at times, but as said he had an involvement in the first (Not sure if the defender was last to touch) and he scored, but he had 11 shots ( not a great conversion rate) we have been slagging Nunez off for less. He also gave the ball away for their first goal and left Bradley exposed.
Personally Id sell him and invest in a younger model, we didn't do so bad without him when he was injured and he is only going to decline form here.
Just my opinion.

19 Mar 2024 09:13:14
We Are Winning the TRIPLE!

1.) 19 Mar 2024 13:41:18
Absolutely mate.

26 Feb 2024 07:55:45
One Down, 3 to go. let's send off Klopp with a bang, if for nothing to put to bed the arguement of who is better Klopp or Pep? Winning the Quadruple and leaving when the ovation is loudest is the best gift we can give Klopp.
Just hope the reason behind his leaving is not an health issue, he does look tired.

1.) 26 Feb 2024 09:44:13
Xpertoyin for me, whatever was left of the debate about who is better btw Pep and Klopp died last night and it was Klopp's Kids who lay the final death blow and killed it, IMO.

As for Klopp, his farewell tour has officially begun. Whatever happens now, he will leave as a transformational figure of this great institution like Shanks before him and will be on the Mount Rushmore of PL managers when all is said and done, IMO. Not for what he has won (which is a lot and counting) cos other managers have won more BUT rather for how and with whom he won them.

2.) 26 Feb 2024 09:46:01
How can klopp be better than Pep when Liverpool is not playing champions league this season? We need to compare apples with apples.

3.) 26 Feb 2024 10:10:53
Hopefully the owners try and persuade Jurgen to stay I doubt he will but I hope they have tried everything to keep him. The man’s a legend
Up the pool.

4.) 26 Feb 2024 10:21:49
We all want the miracle turnaround from JK Coulred, but I just don't think it's going to happen.

5.) 26 Feb 2024 11:04:30
I love Klopp to death. He is a walking legend and what he has done for this club cannot be articulated. He deserves the quadruple as a proper send off to his tenure here. But we have to come to the realisation that he is leaving. And FSG have to secure the next best thing in Alonso ASAP. If we hang around trying to convince Klopp to stay or deliberate on the next manager, we face missing out on Alonso all together.

6.) 26 Feb 2024 12:05:11
Leek, are you taking the mick? You literally compare your darling Arsenal (who win nothing) to LFC (who win things) all the time saying they are better (while being 3rd in the table) to LFC (who are top of the table) . Are they apples to apples comparisons? Man, keep it moving.

7.) 26 Feb 2024 13:09:57
Oli don't bite, that's exactly what he wants.

8.) 26 Feb 2024 14:23:28
Prolly right, Kloppers.

9.) 26 Feb 2024 14:51:59
You are exactly right Leek we have to compare apples with apples. Pep has managed 3 clubs in his career, those clubs being Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Man City.

In all 3 instances he took over title winning/ challenging squads and had more money to spend than most if not all of his peers (bar Real Madrid) . It’s actually very difficult to say how good Pep is given the obvious unfair advantages he’s had over other managers.

Klopp took over a squad that finished 8th and a club that hadn’t won the league for 25 years and turned them into the best in the world. He had to sell to buy (Coutinho being the most obvious and high profile) to build a squad and had to make do with £35m signings to start with (Mane, Salah) as his high profile signings. He was not afforded the open chequebook that Pep has had throughout his career and had to build success before he could start to spend a bit (Keita, Thiago and Nunez) .

He changed the entire culture of the club and its fans, players and staff. Klopp is head and shoulders above Pep in my view and always will be until Pep is willing to actually take a chance and try to build a club from nowhere to the top of the game.

Something tells me the ego that is Pep Guardiola will never do that because he knows he’s not capable and it will ruin this persona he’s falsely built up of being some kind of football genius. He’s a good coach, no one could deny that but you can’t ignore that he’s only been at clubs that give him an unfair advantage.

The ultimate flat track bully.

10.) 26 Feb 2024 17:33:14
I think Pep and Klopp are both world class At what they do but as Beckers has pointed out what they do is quite different despite having similar end results.

11.) 26 Feb 2024 20:29:18
"It’s actually very difficult to say how good Pep is given the obvious unfair advantages he’s had over other managers. ".

Spot on, Beckers. If everything has to be set up perfectly with NO hitches whatsoever (most money, deepest squad, the best team etc. ) in order for you to be successful then, how good are you, really? That is my thing with Pep.

Also if that was Pep last night with all the injuries and missing players and all that, I believe he forfeits the game and takes the loss. The guys seems to not be able to function as soon as one thing (let alone multiple things) goes wrong. If Rodri is out for 10 games, his goose is cooked. Sorry, Pep is NOT a patch on Klopp, ability-wise and I stand by that.

12.) 26 Feb 2024 22:27:41
Pep certainly has had a legup (even at Barcelona he inherited a club with Messi Xavi and Iniesta all emerging) but i don't think the reason he wouldn't go to a club in trouble is because he is a flat track bully. To be fair to him, i think he is more about the search for perfection and so would prefer a club that will give him the money to try and find that. Its prob the reason why he constantly has to fight the urge to tinker and why his players tend to burn out or struggle in big matches.

13.) 27 Feb 2024 11:38:27
He did say about comparing apples with apples, so not biting might be appropriate.

In other news, what is he on about? Comparing Klopp with Guardiola - both are successful managers, albeit one with unlimited resources and cheat mode enabled, the other a charismatic, driver of people and motivator.

16 Dec 2023 20:31:27
Hello Ed001, compliments of the season. I would like your opinion on who if anybody we should go for this January, if we were (as i believe we should) go for everything (the Quad) .
Personally i believe the CM goes without saying but i am not sure we have agreed on what style we want to play at the back 2 or 3 at the back? Have you seen enough to harzard a guess on the plan A for this?
DM or should we stick to what we have seeing that Thaigo is back soon?
A backup seeing that CK is not living up to expectation.

{Ed001's Note - I really am not sure who we need to go for. There are always gaps in any squad, but it depends on the direction they wish to go as to what is needed. Myself I think Trent has to move into the centre in the long term, back to his natural midfield role, which removes the need for a midfielder. But it does mean there is a gap in the defence instead. However I think we need to leave a gap to allow Quansah and Bradley to develop, so I wouldn't buy for there either.

Up front we do have an issue if Gordon and Doak are our back ups. Neither have yet shown anything to suggest they have a future at Liverpool in my opinion. I think our priority should be to examine the future of the attack, with a decision on who replaces Salah in the long term needed. Is that Gakpo? Could be. But we still need to be looking for who comes in to push him. Though that is probably not a January issue.

I think really it comes down to opportunity - who is available at the right price - and then comparing those opportunities against what we already have. January is a limited time to do business, with most European clubs not looking to sell, so you are really looking at long term signings in the main. Players to develop for the future.

However, there is one thing we do need, which you alluded to as well. We need to sort out the back up goalkeeper situation. Neither Kelleher nor Pitaluga are going to benefit from the odd game in the cup, it is holding up their development. Kelleher should really have been moved on for his sake, with a buy back clause for the future. He needs to play regularly and he will never get games while Alisson is there. Pitaluga is going to be a similar long term problem, though while the loan market still exists, I would suggest loaning him out to someone in need of a keeper who can fill their first choice slot for a couple of seasons, maybe even three or four. Somewhere he can develop for his and our benefit, but the loaning team also has the benefit of knowing they have a keeper for a significant period and can plan around him. That would leave us in need of an experienced back up keeper.}

1.) 17 Dec 2023 05:14:45
Liverpool are in a difficult situation regarding the second keeper. Alisson is the best goalkeeper of all time but he has an injury record that means the second keeper is not an afterthought. Though his actual injury record is overblown, it does exist. We are not surprised if Alisson picks up and injury. A poor second-choice keeper was a major factor in us not winning the Champions League in 19/ 20, and keeping Kelleher around might have been to prevent something like that happening again. I agree that a buy-back or two-year loan would be ideal for one and sell the other.

2.) 17 Dec 2023 09:01:31
Agree with ed1 on doak, he really needs to improve his passing and final ball.

3.) 17 Dec 2023 09:02:45
We need a DM. Trent ain’t solving that issue unless we are watching a different sport altogether. We also need a LCB. What is the fuss around Bradley?

4.) 17 Dec 2023 10:09:09
Personally I see Arnold as a RB or CM. I don't see his future as a lone DM personally.

However we have capable options for DM so unless there's a long term wanted upgrade available I d hang tough. If there is a top target available then I'd go for it as nothing would improve us more imo.

5.) 17 Dec 2023 11:09:29
@Davey

Have you taken into consideration on the need of an actual left center back instead of shoning Robbo / Tsmiskas in that role?

6.) 17 Dec 2023 11:16:15
As Ed said, it depends on if an oppotunity arises in January and if there is a deal that can be done for a player in a position of need, like we had with Gakpo last season.

January as we all know, is tricky to get the actual players we need (and no, VVD is not included here cos that deal was being worked on since that summer on the down low, after we got done for tapping him up) so it's complicated.

As for the DM role again, nobody will sell you their starting DM in Jan esp. if they are not looking to sell hence, you pay over the odds. That's not good business and you can add whatever postion of need like CB, to that scenario. And frankly, I think Klopp has moved on from it this season. I agree we have to allow Quansah to grow and the GK issue needs attention in the long term but again, January ain't the time for such things, IMO.

7.) 17 Dec 2023 13:47:39
Yes Harry. I would try to improve our CB positions. I would like Ignacio as he gives great options and I think would be an improvement at CB.

But in terms of improving our first 11, a top class DM would improve us a lot more in my opinion.

8.) 17 Dec 2023 14:15:43
We need both @Davey. Everyone has their own views and imo. This team is not complete without a CB and DM.
I am not sold on to this “Klopp has moved on form DM” well it took him three years and countless double pivot nonsense (Emre Can / Hendo) before buying Fabinho.

9.) 17 Dec 2023 16:08:04
Kelleher has regressed. Nearly every shot on target beats him. Doak is suffering from the same problem as all the other wide men in the squad. The build up is so painfully slow, they are usually double marked by the time we get the ball anywhere near them.

25 Nov 2023 00:58:58
We are playing Man City. We need Nunez coming in as a sub, and Endo as DM with license to be ruthless. Szobo needs freedom to inflict pain and Luiz needs to keep attention away from Salah.
But if we go heavy metal . we will need luck to win.

1.) 25 Nov 2023 01:32:56
Endo needs license to be smart. The referee will be looking for any chance to give him an early booking tomorrow while completely ignoring similar offences from Rodri - it’s an easy opportunity to get the home crowd off his back (not that the City crowd are particularly good) .

2.) 25 Nov 2023 07:31:06
My fear is we go behind early like we have a few times already this season, because we do have a knack of making plenty of mistakes in games and most teams we play seem to get a number of chances against us.

City will be out to prove a point with all this FFP situation in the background - although I can see nothing happening to them.

I have to record the game today as I'm doing a roofing job early this afternoon. If we win I'll watch it, if not I'll hit the delete button!

3.) 25 Nov 2023 08:13:58
OP If we are 2 down then, Nunez coming off the bench will accomplish what exactly? What are you saving him for cos we will not have the type of threat he possesses that our other strikers do not posses? So you're going to save arguably your best weapon on the bench "just in case? Not sure you thought this thru, mate.

It's like saving your best penalty takers for the end of a shootout while forgetting that you may not even get there. Sorry, that logic doesn't run with me.

If all our guys are fit, Nunez, Diaz and Salah should start and we go for it, like Chelsea did esp. vs a City who is super vulnerable to pace in behind. If we lose at least we went for it. If we lose without fighting and saving your best weapon on the bench when the game is potentially gone, is selling yourself short, IMO.

4.) 25 Nov 2023 10:00:27
Jota is always great as a sub.

I'd go

Ali, Tsimikas, Virg, Matip, Trent, Endo, Jones, Szobo, Diaz, Nunez, Salah.

5.) 25 Nov 2023 11:01:23
Sometimes you have to accept you’re playing a superior side away from home.
The smart thing to do would be sit back 11 men behind the ball, flood the midfield, and use the pace of Nunez on the counter.

6.) 25 Nov 2023 11:28:17
If everyone is fit and Endo starts I’ll eat my hat.

7.) 25 Nov 2023 11:37:58
It's obvious mo scores the opener nunez bags a hatrick the diaz gets the 5th.

8.) 25 Nov 2023 11:57:23
We'll win, have a feeling.

9.) 25 Nov 2023 11:59:24
Team
Ally
Trent
Matip

Nunez
Gakpo.

10.) 25 Nov 2023 15:17:06
Heavy metal is the way to go against city. when pressed they have so many mistakes on them. problem is no one has a go on them.

11.) 25 Nov 2023 15:31:36
Well, we didn't sit back now, did we? We went for it, pressed high, stayed in the game and got the point our bravery and coyrage deserved, IMO. Up Da Pool.

12.) 25 Nov 2023 17:40:52
They had more than 60% possession Oli.

13.) 25 Nov 2023 18:20:58
And we got 50% of the points.
Take that all day long.

14.) 25 Nov 2023 18:49:00
And we had 74% possession at the start of the month vs. Luton, Random.

Didn't translate to 3 points, did it?

15.) 25 Nov 2023 20:17:22
My point is you can't say we "didn't sit back" because we did. Which is fine, it earned us a point.

16.) 25 Nov 2023 20:19:37
The best thing about a poor match (the atmosphere sounded woeful) was City dropping the two pints.

17.) 25 Nov 2023 23:41:58
I thought C.V. crowd restrictions had been brought back in. there's more atmosphere at my local yoga club.

What WhyOWhy and MK Scouser said. He has a need to be the Messi in a team, so that if off the ball, you cut him some slack, but we all know that won't fly in a Klopp team.

@KLoppDog, I would sell Origi, Shaq and of course Karius. With them gone and the current squad, i would only include an English CB from the lower leagues who is able to give Gomez a run and still keep relatively injury free. I loved Fab against Chelsea, but prefer him in a midfield 2 besides Thiago.
I am really excited about this season.

Fab has a mean streak in him, as a DM this is okay, but not as a CB. The risk would be too much.

{Ed025's Note - hes your second best centre back after VVD for me xpertoyin, reads the game very well and kept werner quiet yesterday which is not easy mate..

waynechai, i thought i was the only one who noticed this trait. Coupled with his complete lack of pace, he should simply play the sweeper role and have VVD attack the ball.

Easy is Right. should change my display name to that.
Salah's replacement should SIMPLY fit our system.

Like that'legs for days in the midfield' statement. Feels good to have confidence in the middle. In addition to speed and resourcefulness.

What would be yourchoice between Caicedo and Lavia (ignoring their respective prices) and why?

{Ed001's Note - Lavia because Caicedo has shown a bad attitude on repeated occasions. Caicedo is only interested in money.}

I love Mane, but I have always said he has poor first touch and if it hasn't been corrected by now .
He has a similar trait to Lukaku, he is best when bearing down on defenders not backing the post. He plays best when playing on instinct than when he has time to think.
If he continues as a nine he could bring that hammer blow we need to commit defenders and might I add, he is not afraid to draw fouls from opponent and he is rugged enough to shake it off.
