Liverpool Rumours Mobile

10 Feb 2026 14:10:02
Hello all,

You will see A lot of narratives being thrown about in favor of Arne Slot.

The club don't mind that, the idea and message from the club has been clear for months.

Slot is working a notice per se and will be replaced this summer.

Ta.

{Ed025's Note - cheers Carra it certainly looks that way, do you not see that changing even if the results stay the same and that it may cost you a place in the CL mate?..

10 Feb 2026 14:41:46
Madness to let the rot continue.

10 Feb 2026 14:43:23
Cheers, Carra.

We could be 7 and 8 points behind "basketcase" clubs Chelsea and Man United tomorrow evening.

Hughes and Edwards should be on notice too.

10 Feb 2026 14:48:19
Can we confirm that Xabi is his successor Carra?

10 Feb 2026 14:59:51
Thanks Carra.

Appreciate this is a difficult situation but can you (or others) shine a light on what the overall thinking is from the ownership side?

I understand all the arguments around quality replacements not being available until the summer, etc. - but it just seems like a totally wild course of action to inform a manager that he's done at the end of the season and expect it to play out positively. Surely this info will have filtered through to the players and their heads will be totally gone.

Or is it that Slot has been explicitly told that he's gone in the summer unless he can turn hit a very specific target? Potentially winning the Champions League?

I guess it just feels like a bit of a farce and it's difficult to believe that the club could be in this position given the multitude of serious businessmen behind the scenes.

Appreciate any and all insight the Eds and ITKs offer - you're doing God's work.

10 Feb 2026 15:42:09
On current form I do not think we make the top five I really hope
I am wrong but not making top five will hinder our ability to sign the correct profile of player and possibly make conversations about appointing the correct manager harder.

10 Feb 2026 15:42:55
Thanks Carra, but what happens if results get worse before then,

10 Feb 2026 15:46:23
Thanks Carra

Replaced by Xabi?

10 Feb 2026 15:47:30
Madness, pure madness to let this continue. He should go now. Slot might be out of his depth to deal with the issues faced this year which is unfortunate and whilst he seems professional enough to see the role out I cannot believe for a second that any human being in their right mind would put their all, their absolute everything, into a role when you already know you are being replaced.

If this is true it is absolute insanity and those above Slot should also be questioned on their own ability to fulfill their roles.

In any other job this wouldn't be considered incompetence, you'd forgive people for thinking it was active sabotage.

10 Feb 2026 15:48:41
I wonder if we are sizing up the commentary of a mutual parting so Slot can be at home with his family?

10 Feb 2026 15:51:40
Ed025 - if what Carra is saying is true about Slot working his notice I've a feeling we'll let the season pan out and go for Iraola?
Out of contract end of season @ Bournemouth and Less pressure on him if we're in Europa league.
IMO the noise around Alonso has gone quiet and if he really did want the job I can't think why they wouldn't push him to come now? Or is Alonso hedging his bets? Seeing our decline and another summer rebuild during a World Cup.

I've said for weeks that we have pivotal games coming up - if Chelsea and United get 3 points tonight it cranks the pressure up on us and I can't see us rising to the challenge.
I just don't see us winning 2 or 3 possibly more games than those two sides.

{Ed025's Note - i still think you will finish above Utd and Chelsea BR...they are no great shakes either mate, i expect you will have the pick of your choice at the end of the season manager wise whether that is Iraola, Alonso or anyone else because you dont turn down the chance to manage Liverpool..

10 Feb 2026 16:12:53
Cheers Carra.

So Edwards and co are honestly willing to let this season slip into what would essentially be one big waste? Especially considering the fact that if we lose tomorrow night top four is almost impossible when you take into account our current form.

I have tried to slice this up each and every way but I just don't get the thought process behind those in power. I mean, how bad does it have to get? What a waste of season they are allowing it to be.

Alonso is there, ready and without a job. This is the same guy they wanted before Slot. You are honestly telling me if we say come now, he will say no. So why are they dragging this out?

10 Feb 2026 16:13:07
The sooner we don't have to listen to his passive aggressive pressers anymore the better. He's not worthy of his role or this club. Thx for the update Carra.

10 Feb 2026 16:22:16
Thanks Carra. I really needed your post after Sunday.

10 Feb 2026 16:41:44
Great news carra.

10 Feb 2026 16:46:47
I understand the risk of replacing now. because would that not involve a quick change in backroom staff, coaches etc?

But can it get any worse?
We play maybe 30 minutes of actually decent football each game, if that!

We've seen United have this sudden surge of playing well and confidence under Carrick. Not to say this would be as simple as that.

But at what point do they decide wether the risk of changing now and losing out on champions league football < try something new, because why not?

I will love Slot for winning is the title. But we all know, it was Jurgens team and that same attitude of 'we'll go out and try harder, new start etc'. But it's gone and fizzeled out right?

Klopp could change a game. In different ways. Slot might do slightly by throwing on about 6 forwards but nothing happens or it's too late!

If we wait till summer, do we risk Alonso getting snapped up by City? If we agree something with xabi now, and slot miraculously wins the champions league, does that change it?

10 Feb 2026 16:43:09
Thanks Ed - I admire your relaxed optimism mate 😂👍.

{Ed025's Note - imo you still have good team BR, yes it needs a few tweaks and certainly a new manager mate..but this is Liverpool..

10 Feb 2026 17:24:38
If they are waiting until summer and winning the CL wouldn't change the outcome then it suggests Alonso is not the pick or we are not Alonso's pick. Otherwise there would be no reason to delay.

10 Feb 2026 17:27:03
Thanks Carra I got a feeling we are going to have a bad week this week and think he will be gone after Brighton game when we go out of the fa cup and fall further behind after dropping more points against Sunderland.

10 Feb 2026 17:27:37
Cheers Carra.

I can understand the thought process of parting ways at the end of the season but honestly if results keep going negatively the club might have to pull the pin even earlier before things get more toxic.

The club needs UCL football so missing out on that would be a disaster and baring a massive turn in form and others dropping away it does look like that might well be the case unfortunately.

10 Feb 2026 15:05:11
Hello Ed025,

I hope you're keeping well.

I previously mentioned that talks with Steven Gerrard took place prior to Christmas.

Whilst talks were positive for a interim role, LFC decided to stick and wait until the summer.

Fabregas was also spoken to as I previously mentioned.

Talks again were positive but nothing doing.

If you're asking my opinion.

IF we're eliminated from Europe early on, a move COULD be pushed forward which would give Xabi valuable time to assess the squad.


Ta.

{Ed025's Note - thanks for that Carra mate..

10 Feb 2026 15:06:56
Thx as always Carra.


The longer it goes on i have come to the conclusion. Imo

Suits don't want to be seen to sack a title winning manager. however. end of season when we don't qualify for Europe at all (ruled out CL) and we are back to hodgson/ Rodgers form and league standings. it will be quite easy and let's face it. who will argue or give them any heat for it? .

His latest comments saying we have only been outplayed 3 times this season for one half beggars belief. no idea he managed to say it withput the whole room laughing.

I'm officially on game countdown. 13 to go.

I would like to see out results over the last calender year from Feb to Feb. got to feeling it would make Anges record at spurs read like title winning form. (Tongue n cheek)

10 Feb 2026 15:15:01
It seems the club want to make absolutely sure top 4 is gone before making a decision.
I hope Hughes will be following him out the door as well, he has been a total failure.

10 Feb 2026 15:26:36
I think our dithering is going to result in Alonso going to City. Nothing new there though.

10 Feb 2026 15:31:04
Thanks Carra!

Assume if things get any worse he will go sooner. We have some very winnable games coming up, I'd like to think if we don't get a lot of points in the next 4 league games he'd be gone.

10 Feb 2026 15:34:58
The players need to be given the chance to make every success of what is left.

The way things are, and the way we play, that opportunity just isn't there for them.

10 Feb 2026 15:35:05
Thanks Carra.

I don't like sacking a manager.

Only just in positive goal diff.
17pts behind Arsenal.
Boring football.
Players performing awfully, but still picked.
Players out of position.
Limited use of youngsters.

The list goes on and on.

We have to say goodbye.

10 Feb 2026 17:00:33
I am just worried that summer could be too late. We might get the coach we want, but I think would struggle to get the players we want if we miss out on CL.

The performances just give out the impression that the players do not want to play for Slot, and Slot does not want to be at the club. Feel for players like Wirtz who have taken the leap of faith and joined us over the pick of clubs he had.

{Ed025's Note - Liverpool will always attract the best players RRH even if you dont qualify for the CL Mate..

10 Feb 2026 18:05:17
As much as I hope your info is right Carra, I'm just struggling to get my head around the current situation. It doesn't make any sense at all to continue with a manager that you have already made the decision to get rid of especially when this is something the manager is aware of.

Doesn't really make sense on so many levels that I'm having a hard time believing a decision has already been made.

10 Feb 2026 18:11:20
Yes, a post from Carra. 👌been checking me phone all day. swear down me bird thinks I'm carrying on.

10 Feb 2026 18:22:26
Appreciated as always Carra! Top man!
It just feels so horrendously managed from top to bottom. I'm starting to agree with you Ed1 in regards Hughes and Edwards. How has Slot not been sacked yet? He is absolutely abysmal, as are the two of them!
Are they aware there's a World Cup in the summer?
IF. Xabi was to come in he will have very little time with the first team for pre season, nor, time to asses what he may need transfer wise.

Not bringing him in now to give a few months with these players and then have a strong summer window is just sheer incompetence to the highest possible extreme. They are literally, knowingly, writing off this season. This is Liverpool Football Club. We don't do that!

10 Feb 2026 19:02:17
Cheers Carra. Season is a write off then folks.

10 Feb 2026 19:08:46
Thanks Carra. I am so pleased I have just read your post. Thanks for your information YNWA.

10 Feb 2026 19:40:34
I've never agreed with Chelsea's trigger happy style, but this, the absolute opposite, has to be the poorest decision making I've ever seen at the club; compounded by leaving us short at the back after transfer window. IMHO this shows that the hierarchy is strategically incompetent. If he has no authority / future, the players will smell this, and there's no way he can motivate them.

I'd put our chances of finishing top 4 at almost zero. And yet, à la Carrick, there's a very strong group of players there that with the right motivation could still go on an unbeaten run. What a joke!

10 Feb 2026 19:44:15
Hello Carra

Are you still of the opinion alonso is going to be manager whether that's before or at the end of the season?

Especially now with links to Man City with pep reportedly leaving?

I fear we're going to miss out again.

Thanks.

10 Feb 2026 04:22:15
Have watched that kid Mane play for Wolves the last few weeks and he looks a great prospect.
Strong and runs at the opposition, has a good eye for goal and surely would be cheaper than diomande from RB.
Is anyone looking at him Ed's?

{Ed001's Note - yes, lots of clubs are watching him.}

10 Feb 2026 07:23:23
1st time I heard of him was when he played against us at anfield, v impressed with that day. Kept an eye on him since and looks excellent in a struggling side.

10 Feb 2026 09:00:13
He's growing on me. As he's homegrown he will be in demand.

10 Feb 2026 09:12:04
You had me at Mane.

10 Feb 2026 11:38:14
Looks like could be top level talent. Would love us to sign him.

10 Feb 2026 14:08:11
Watched him at weekend, comparisons to semenyo is early shout just yet . big and strong, but they sat off him for his goal at weekend, and didn't appear to have much speed. 1 to watch I'd say.

10 Feb 2026 17:29:07
Diomande is a right winger whereas Mane is attacking midfield. Homegrown to so would be ideal to replace Jones if we let him go.

09 Feb 2026 20:22:26
Heard that there is something coming out at 9 o'clock this evening.

09 Feb 2026 20:29:38
Not that crap again lol 🤣.

09 Feb 2026 20:29:59
Yep, that's what Indy posted on twitter earlier.

09 Feb 2026 20:30:08
Did a guy on Twitter who works at KFC tell you this?

09 Feb 2026 20:33:04
I have just reading the moon will be out at 9 pm.

09 Feb 2026 20:39:22
Hope you get to the toilet in time.

09 Feb 2026 20:41:35
This feels like the sort of nonsense that chancer off twitter would post.

09 Feb 2026 20:54:48
Yep, again. He was told to keep his rumour quiet. Hilarious stuff.

Guarantee it will be a nonsense dramatized but ultimately we are no further along than before his update.

09 Feb 2026 21:19:00
Tick-tock-tick-tock.

09 Feb 2026 21:51:58
his curry was being delivered at 8, so big log out at 9.

09 Feb 2026 22:04:42
9 o clock tonight. was it Porridge on UK Gold 🤔.

09 Feb 2026 22:09:54
Slots going nowhere and the the teams a fkn mess! Highest wage bill in the league and the bench yesterday was beyond belief! Is that the news?

09 Feb 2026 22:17:28
It's 10.15 now, any make believe update?

09 Feb 2026 23:20:20
The Liverpool board will consider the future of Dutch manager Arne Slot if the club fail to qualify for the Champions League this season. (Football Insider)

10 Feb 2026 06:48:53
It's the 9 o'clock news.

10 Feb 2026 11:34:36
Or, as it transpired JM, NOT the nine o'clock news 🤔.

10 Feb 2026 12:03:08
Good god, FSW. They're so uninformed they can't even say for certain whether he would be sacked for failing to achieve the bare minimum.

10 Feb 2026 14:35:45
It's might be one of his sons. Which would be lovely. Everyone to their own.

09 Feb 2026 17:54:33
Hearing that Mo's Grandfather has passed away in Egypt. Condolences to him and his family. YNWA.

08 Feb 2026 19:20:28
Had sent this rumour in during the week but didn't get posted, hopefully now after tonight's result this is more topical spoke to a very well connected ex colleague (huge City fan - personal friends with the likes of Shay Given, Niall Quinn etc through mostly corporate circles).

He strongly believes City will throw everything at Alonso this year as they prepare for possibility of Pep leaving. If City win a trophy or two, it's highly likely Pep will take it as finishing on a high and leave this year.

08 Feb 2026 19:35:46
It's common knowledge.

08 Feb 2026 19:37:50
City want alonso and have spoken to him, we have spoken to him also. Only way he goes to city is, if they decide to stick with slot. The guy should of been sacked months ago.

Now we are extremely likely to finish out of top 5. If city's 3rd had stould we'd of been 7th. If we don't sack him now and get alonso now, we never will.

08 Feb 2026 19:43:34
Didn't explicitly say but instead implied in my post - doesn't look at all like Slot will be sacked by Liverpool. City definitely of this view anyway, per my source anyway .

08 Feb 2026 20:04:07
As far as I know, this IS Pep's last season. I posted it on here back in September when I first got wind of it from someone who I trust.

I wish I could say Xabi will turn it down but IF we don't part with Slot, I can't see Xabi holding out for us. I did believe Slot was just a matter of time but I'm not sure what information I was fed was true or planted.

That said, the Pep news was from someone else and I stand by that 100%.

08 Feb 2026 20:33:12
Did I not read on here one of reason Alonso turned us down I due to fact he did not want to follow jurgen would he not be the same with pep?

08 Feb 2026 20:41:04
Considering Liverpool seemingly have no appetite to part ways with Slot, I think you can safely say Alonso will be the next City manager if, as expected, Pep goes at the end of this season.

Edwards and STC are far too arrogant to accept they misjudged Slot and will stand by him no matter how poor the results/ performances. To that end, I fully expect Slot to still be here next season.

08 Feb 2026 20:54:37
One more time, he followed Ancelotti so can't imagine that was one of the reasons. probably just preferred a shot at Madrid, being Spanish and having played for them, it's hard to hold that against him mind, even if it wasn't the greatest match.

08 Feb 2026 21:17:47
I kind of stay quiet on rumours, as I could have given you a wildly wrong one a few years back over the ownership sale. But silence right now = no managerial change.

08 Feb 2026 21:51:25
Pep leaves at the end of his contract. That's widely accepted by most of the actual ITK's. Alonso is ours as long as we make the most obvious decision known to mankind and sack slot.

08 Feb 2026 22:11:22
FFS shall I say.

08 Feb 2026 22:19:41
This thin ice is thicker than the ice that sunk the titanic!

Hoping for a heatwave to melt the ice and we can see the back of this rubbish!

08 Feb 2026 22:23:35
I don't think Alonso is Hughes's first choice, I think Iraola is.

08 Feb 2026 22:37:19
Hughes needs to go. He is a calamitous appointment. Pouring money down the drain and mismanaging out of his cushy DOF role on every level.

08 Feb 2026 22:46:20
Hughes might not be making the decision . Slott Hughes and Woodward are all in line to be replaced . FSG don't take kindly to failure.

08 Feb 2026 23:44:54
Alonso will likely go to the club with the most appealing project and deepest pockets. I don't see him wanting to come to Liverpool just because he played here a few years.

09 Feb 2026 03:17:12
Alonso is an intelligent bloke, and career focused. Anyone who thinks he's going to choose us over City for the sake of nostalgia is going to get a rude awakening. We're far more fond of Alonso than he is of us, we were never the goal, never his final destination, we were a stepping stone to Real for him as a player and he's already turned us down as a manager. I happen to think he's turned us down twice, we spoke to him after he departed from Real, that wasn't for the sake of catching up, I believe we at least floated the idea of him taking over at the time, and I believe he declined. Just like I said back then, he's hot property and has his wits about him, he will make the best move for his career, it would be moronic of him not to wait until the Summer and see what other offers come in.

Ron Keague - Hughes doesn't have final say on such decisions, thank God. If Slot goes, Hughes will be the first to follow, £450 million and we've still got no depth in the squad, our best midfielder has played half the season at RB, £120 million on an injury prone striker who's scored 2 goals and won't play again until next season, we lost out on 2 major much needed sure-thing signings to City, completely failed to bring anyone in during the January window even though the squad was in desperate need of bolstering.

Hughes and Edwards have had an absolute shocker, and the only reason they won't get the P45 will be because the club can't see any other viable options. Edwards brought in his little football friend, and that didn't work out, fat chance they're going to let Hughes bring in his. Not to mention, Iraola has little more than a gold star on his CV. Zero chance the club will view him as a replacement for a Premier League winning manager.

09 Feb 2026 08:59:50
That's a bit unfair to say we were a stepping stone for xabi chewy, he has said multiple times that if we hadn't tried to sell him. and if his relationship with rafa hadn't broken down he had always intended to stay with Liverpool for the indefinite future and was happy to do so.

Maybe we do exaggerate the bond between xabi and anfield but he did come back multiple times after retirement, did an interview right after signing for Madrid saying he would always be a red and has mentioned the club repeatedly throughout his career.

09 Feb 2026 11:22:55
I understand where you're coming from and I don't say these kinds of things with any joy, but I think it's important we don't delude ourselves with nostalgia. Sure, Xabi said such things, in an interview, that he knew everyone would see. Klopp lied through his teeth in that Steven Bartlett interview when he said it was possible for him to come back and manage Liverpool some day. Lied through his teeth. He has absolutely no interest and totally looked stressed by the very notion of the question. I'm not passing judgement here, I mean no disrespect to anyone, I'm certain Xabi has many fond memories and cherishes his time at the club, no doubt about it, but people say things out of respect for the fans, all the time. Give Xabi a time machine, and ask him to choose Liverpool or Real, then you'll find the truth, you know yourself the answer is Real every time.

Xabi's Spanish, he's from a footballing family, and not your average case, a highly regarded professional footballing lineage. His father won multiple La Liga titles with Sociedad and Barca. Xabi himself couldn't convince me that he holds the Premier League or Liverpool in higher regard than La Liga, Real or Barca, these are the clubs he grew up watching as a kid, dreaming of playing for. I mean, the proof is in the pudding, he left us for Real as a player (circumstance aside), he turned us down to stay at Leverkusen because he had one eye on the Real job. what more proof do you need?

09 Feb 2026 11:36:00
Agree with pretty much everything you say chewy, Alonso bond is definitely overblown by elements of the fanbase and from a career perspective it would be hard to argue against going to City over Liverpool.

Also very much agree about Iraola, where's this nonsense coming from? No chance Liverpool sack Slot (a title winning PL coach) and replace him with Iraola who has achieved precisely nothing in his career to date. Not to say he won't have a good managerial career over the next couple of decades but he definitely won't be coming to Liverpool anytime soon.

09 Feb 2026 19:34:28
Xabi will choose City and usher in a new period of dominance with them.

10 Feb 2026 10:11:40
Just putting two and two together and getting 7 here - but, assuming Xabi was the guy we wanted, he would want to come to us, then surely FSG would move for him now similar to how they moved from Rodgers and brought in Klopp?

ok, not exactly like for like scenarios but if there is an obvious alternative then I think you make the move and get the guy in now.

That we haven't yet, suggests to me that Slot is more in than out.

08 Feb 2026 18:37:27
Liverpool already have plans in place ahead of next season if we fail to make the CL and Slot is a big part of the plans. FSG will stand by him no matter what. Talk of Xabi Alonso as good as being done is not true.

08 Feb 2026 18:52:41
Utter rubbish if we fail to get top 4 with this squad he goes.

08 Feb 2026 18:57:29
Squad? Have you seen our bench?

08 Feb 2026 18:57:29
Well who knows what's going on. Time will tell. Roller coaster of emotions this season on and off the pitch. Can't say I want another season or more of this. Hopefully this is a case of projecting the right public image and nothing more.

08 Feb 2026 19:00:11
If they fail to make champions League then everyone needs to go, Edwards, Hughes and Slot.

It will be a failure of epic proportions to not qualify for champions League from champions and extortionate amount of money spent in the summer and with 5 places for champions League. 5!

I would be very very surprised if they are all not clinging to their jobs right now.

If not, FSGs plan for next season must be to drop the standards of being an elite club. In which case maybe they can go as well.

This season and the mistakes being made are unacceptable. Simple as that.

And I can pretty much guarantee you there will be job loss somewhere if they fail to reach Champions League.

They should make the decision today and get rid of Slot. We need a culture change. can't believe I'm saying that.

08 Feb 2026 19:00:54
Last time Slot was going to get fired no matter the result against qarabag. So which one is it?

08 Feb 2026 19:02:36
That is atrocious. We are a souless entity with Slot in charge.
He has no love for the city and the culture. He is a gun for hire.

08 Feb 2026 19:02:37
He's going either way.

08 Feb 2026 19:04:30
You said that Slot was getting sacked after Qarabag and that Ordonez was done. Why would anyone listen to a thing you say?

08 Feb 2026 19:06:43
Bergers but you said Slot was sacked after the Qarabag game no matter what the result so I will stick to carra fields and co for my information.
Ta.

08 Feb 2026 19:09:41
Say goodbye to everything good that's happened in the last few years if that materialises.

08 Feb 2026 19:12:58
Another ITK.

Inventing
Transfer
Krap.

08 Feb 2026 19:14:29
That doesn't make any sense. So you're saying they will stand by him even if the results become worse and worse? That Slot is FSG's ride or die? I'm sorry, but FSG aren't that naive to stick with someone who doesn't deliver the results they want.

08 Feb 2026 19:14:31
But its not just Slot is it, half his backroom staff will leave too I assume? Does Alonso have a backroom staff ready if he joins? Not being funny genuine question.

I know emotions are high, but saying FSG don't want us to be an elite club is mad, if the club is not amongst the best, the club loses value, if the club loses value they lose money.

08 Feb 2026 19:17:27
Slot has been told he's on very thin ice, the club will pull the plug when they feel ready, but Slot will not be manager next season.

08 Feb 2026 19:22:17
Slot has normalised losing at Anfield the same way Hodgson did.

08 Feb 2026 19:23:40
We have 13 more games of this to endure.

We won't even make Europa league spots.

I thought we did better 2nd half. then I told myself to behave and don't fall for it. the fact we played forward and with a bit more pace for 20 minutes. I've been somehow brainwashed to seeing this as a positive. as we lost/ threw it away.

08 Feb 2026 19:34:21
Is that lucky 13 or unlucky 13 Mighty?

08 Feb 2026 19:35:14
1 win in 7 league games at Liverpool FC - an absolute shambles - setting up with Gakpo instead of an extra midfielder today, and then not making that substitution straight after we went one up, was a double shambles.

The dropping of standards across the whole senior cadre of the club is an insult to the paying fanbase. Mark my words we will not qualify for UCL, we've given ourselves too much to do. Beyond frustrated.

08 Feb 2026 19:35:31
He needed to go ages ago.

It must be the world's strongest thin ice. not entirely sure what rubbish he is spouting to still be on the job.

We have morphed into spurs. spineless toothless and I swear the next time our players don't even contend a 50 50 I'm turning off. literally scared of the shadow of theirselves on the pitch.

08 Feb 2026 19:46:02
Cheers Robbo. We live in hope.

08 Feb 2026 19:46:55
Thin ice ha, taking the pee. No way Slot is there next season.

08 Feb 2026 20:07:50
This thin ice, is actually thick, we're talking inches not centimetres.

08 Feb 2026 20:20:20
I really hope your right robbo.

08 Feb 2026 21:31:53
, If the club was going to pull the plug, they would have done so already. They will stand by Slot and he will be in charge next season.

08 Feb 2026 21:40:59
FSG won't stand for failure . You can take that to the bank.

08 Feb 2026 21:53:46
There is ONE ITK in this place and it's Cara/ macca. Everyone else copies his stuff or does the 'as X says my sources say the same'. It's don't. Now ed02 (RIP) isn't here to bat them away all go a sudden Liverpool leaks like a sieve. L.

08 Feb 2026 22:20:25
i don't think we should blame Slot, for the loss.

Man City were just a little too hungry. LFC played well but didn't finish all the chances we had and then we go up one and they played too defensively.

for more than 2 years we have been looking for Defensive and Defensive Midfielders, McAllister and GravenBerch are not DM players. Not blalming Szob for keeping the city player on side for that goal. had we bought the right players for the right posituons maybe we would have a different result.

08 Feb 2026 22:44:58
Max5 we've already failed this season and they're persisting with Slot. This notion that F$G are the beacons of wisdom needs to stop.

09 Feb 2026 11:25:11
If Slot is part of their "plan" then the plan is to stay the course, which isn't a plan at all.

Cheers for that valuable piece of info!

08 Feb 2026 16:09:15
Eds very strong rumours are city are interested in alonso and allegedly already been speaking to him, allegedly we have too, would you honestly think we could still stand by slot and see alonso at city?

{Ed001's Note - could do yes.}

08 Feb 2026 16:52:06
Then we are truly up 💩 street.

08 Feb 2026 17:01:08
I sadly feel like this is the most likely thing to happen, and we'll blindly stick by slot.

08 Feb 2026 17:37:43
Unless we move for Iraola as he will be out of contract.

08 Feb 2026 18:08:21
I've been Slot out for a long time but I'd take him over Iraola any day, he has no experience at a top club. If you think Liverpool would sack Slot for an unproven manager who's never coached anything more than a mid-level team you're off your rocker!

08 Feb 2026 18:27:36
Slot needs to go. Tactics were wrong today - barely created a thing. Relied on a piece of absolute magic from Dom because apart from that we had barely a sniff.

So much attacking talent and we had no cohesion and just booted long balls all day.

Played the game with the handbrake on and still conceded two goals anyway.

United and Chelsea won again. And we slip further into euorpa league places or worse.

Slot out.

08 Feb 2026 18:33:06
Stick by him after this.

08 Feb 2026 18:36:55
If Slot doesn't get sacked we won't qualify for the CL. We are in dire need of change.

08 Feb 2026 18:39:08
After today, there's absolutely no reason not to sack Slot today and instal Alonso next week.

08 Feb 2026 18:43:42
It also potentially clears the way for us to get Enrique.

Xabi going to City will end any possibility of him ever managing us.

I'd like him to be our manager, I don't want him to be city's. But he hasn't done enough in the game for it to be a devastating blow if it transpires that way.

I'd be much more worried about City if Enrique went there.

08 Feb 2026 18:45:25
The biggest worry we have right now is Man United returning to the top table, we only really had to compete with city over the last ten years so we were pretty much guaranteed champions league and commercial success.

They bought a lot of talent, but never had a coherent plan or the right management to bring things together. Unfortunately we're giving off those vibes this season.

08 Feb 2026 18:48:11
STC needs to go. Not getting reinforcements for the back line in January will also cost us top 5 potentially.

08 Feb 2026 18:48:44
Chewy, where was slot before this? i'm not so sure iraola should be a target but that statement would make sense if slot was a proven manager before Liverpool.

08 Feb 2026 19:14:25
Guehi, Semenyo and now Alonso.

Do we have some spies working for us or something?

08 Feb 2026 19:17:43
Kaizer - Slot won the Premier League, you can't just brush that aside. Even before that, he won the Dutch League and Cup with Feyenoord, Iraola hasn't come close to anything like that. Those are the facts, unfortunately. I'm no fan of Slot, none whatsoever, but better the devil you know sometimes.

The fact remains that there's zero chance the club is going to sack a Prmier Leaue winning manager to bring in somebody like Iraola, who's got little more than a gold star to his name.

08 Feb 2026 19:27:56
Slot has to go Tonight. We created 1 chance in the 1st half! 1! That is not acceptable at Anfield. We had a 20 minute spell in the 2nd half that should be expected as the minimum. We scored a worldie and then Skots tactics were to sit on the edge of our box and let them have the ball. Totally inept. We should be pushing for the 2nd goal or at least dominating the ball. I support Liverpool football club, I am struggling to watch the football Slot is implementing this season.

It is dire. With the squad we have, we should be doing do much better. It's not just about Today's game. It's been dire for most of the season. The longer Slot stays, the longer we can expect mediocre football and no Champions league football. I for one hope that Alonso becomes our manager. His style of football is one I think we would enjoy. We are Liverpool YNWA.

08 Feb 2026 19:28:16
Surely now is the time for slot to go right? Now that we're going down the table, Slot has very little chance of CL spots so get him out! It's win/ win: if we don't qualify the new manager gets more time with the team and nothing lost, if we do then it lifts the team.

08 Feb 2026 20:43:37
Not sure how to phrase this but it seems like this team is rotting with this style of play. the support is starting to rot too, soon its going to be absolutely insufferable to sit through. This is on the manager, he sets the tone and the tone is abysmal.

08 Feb 2026 22:22:51
Yes he won the league, the first half of the season was Klopps style. We were so far ahead, we then gradually morphed in to Slot style and were rubbish. We've been awful for ages, the sooner he goes the better.

No tactics, no plan, no personality, no nothing. Goodbye.

08 Feb 2026 22:56:18
I see people chirping the 'STC' crap and I don't buy it whatsoever, unless he's the sole reason slots still here I don't get it at all.

Were crap because of slot. It's that simple. He should have been gone last October, and even then was late.

07 Feb 2026 20:03:07
Looks like Jacquet suffered a bad shoulder injury today 🤦🏻‍♂️.

07 Feb 2026 22:11:41
Centre back? Injured? Lads going to fit in just fine :P.

07 Feb 2026 23:20:13
Better he's injured for a few months while they pay his wages than us. Hopefully recovers just in time for pre-season.

08 Feb 2026 08:53:28
He might struggle to get his jacket on.

08 Feb 2026 16:17:16
Well Dugarry did say in this weeks papers that LFC were "suckers" to sign him for 70 million Euro, probably explains why PSG had no interest and yet he plays in the same league, and no other big clubs really interested.

Guehi (£20 million) was well preferable he's a proven PL FA Cup winning Captain and Community Shield, while "Jacket Potato" is at the back of the Menu Card i. e. promise not proven.

"Penny wise, Pound Fools" sums up our owner Lenny Henry in all his time at LFC particularly with regards to Jurgens budget, he preferred a proven PL manager in Jurgen to a novice from the Dutch League to spend his/ our monies (£450 million)? Lenny Henry sums him up a treat another bum comedian!

09 Feb 2026 20:19:30
JJ is having an operation very soon on his shoulder, so he will miss a few games.

07 Feb 2026 19:24:21
Curious what you all think about this, but I can see a scenario where Slot leaves Liverpool after the season and replaces Eddie Howe.

{Ed025's Note - if (and its a big if) he does leave i think he will head back to Holland Stone..

07 Feb 2026 19:58:28
I don't know who to believe.

Ed1 said something similair in a reply earlier, about Slot being here next season.

Bur Carra and a couple of 'ITK's say different.

I' m all of a dither.

{Ed025's Note - we are all guessing i suppose WR, i think a lot will depend on how the rest of the season goes mate..

07 Feb 2026 20:11:26
Slot being here next season? Can't see it to be honest. Only the slim chance of us winning the champions league will give him the option to continue into next year IMO.

07 Feb 2026 20:41:53
If we don't get champions league, he's a gonna.

07 Feb 2026 20:49:06
He won't be in the dugout next season. I'm certainly not ITK and I rely on the real ones on here but it's over between AS and LFC IMO. There's a disconnect between him and the club and support which I believe cannot be overcome. We need to put points on the table to try ensure CL next season so he's going to have to play winning football to achieve that.

That means playing to the strengths of the squad. He has ignored this so far this season so why would the club continue working with someone who deliberately does that. They just won't. I won't be sorry to see him replaced.

07 Feb 2026 21:10:51
Most of the noise I've heard points to him going but that's not from the club. Where as the club are saying they are backing him. For me that's just the club protecting their employee.

If they backed him, why stop contract talks or not bring in reinforcements. The roundtable only muddied the waters, although any amateur psychologist could see all is not as good as they say it is.

As I've said all previously his position will be reviewed at the end of the season. The only way I see him surviving is if we win the CL and I can't see that happening.

07 Feb 2026 21:42:53
Could be tricky for him by next weekend. We could be seven points off fifth and out of the FA Cup.

07 Feb 2026 22:37:11
We could also be 1pt off 3rd and through to the fifth round of the FA Cup.

07 Feb 2026 22:49:02
I see Spurs as a destination for him if he's not at Anfield.
Frank is on borrowed time and they have Heitinga already there.

07 Feb 2026 23:10:23
Howe will never be the Liverpool manger, more chance Eddie Izzard.

07 Feb 2026 23:17:34
Positive thinking on results is frowned upon on here Varry. can't be thinking anything that would keep Arne in the managers hotseat.

07 Feb 2026 23:21:57
Don't think anyone is suggesting Howe replaces Slot, mark, stone suggested Slot could replace Howe.

07 Feb 2026 23:22:44
Slot is not going anywhere until is contract is up.

All this talk about him being sacked etc., etc, is all bull crap.

I know loads of people on here want him binned, but it is not happening. He will be here next season and Alonso won't be.

07 Feb 2026 23:35:02
Win the championship league, you've been on the hooch pal.

07 Feb 2026 23:37:01
To be fair @Mark, nobody has suggested Howe as a candidate to be our manager.

08 Feb 2026 01:31:21
I think he will land a bigger job than going back to Holland. Not many have won the Premier League. He has a better resume than most upcomers Alonso, Glazner, Arteta, Iroala, Amorim.

08 Feb 2026 05:56:54
We are not making Champions League places this season unless Slott goes.

08 Feb 2026 08:14:46
Im feeling really positive about the rest of the season, up the reds.

08 Feb 2026 05:40:20
Ed025 Hope all is well mate. You have been quite fair and irrespective of late. Quite enjoyable and truthful compared to some of the PR being spread out there by the PR merchants for LFC. How are things down on the waterfront for you mate? Cheers, YNWA.

{Ed025's Note - its going quite well for the blues KC though our home form is not what it could or maybe should be, our away form is very good though and its actually top 4 statistically but Moyes is such a pragmatic character that if he took the handbrake off we could be a lot better i feel mate, saying that he has fulfilled his brief from us being relegation fodder to a team who are safe and have an outside chance of Europa qualification for next season, the new ground is very good and TFG look like the owners who we have been looking for for a long time, well heres hoping anyway that both Merseyside clubs will be battling it out in the higher reaches of the league in the near future..cheers..

08 Feb 2026 13:01:25
Just stop with the boring football.

Way I see it, we've blown it. The season is now a free hit, a chance to play some entertaining stuff and stop with the negative passing it around the back bore fest

You can't expect the fans to create atmosphere in the stadium when they Blew the season months ago and the football is diabolical.

Everyone's made peace with our situation, nobody is calling for the manager to be sacked Early anymore because it's too late, it's over, so pressure off, just attack and at least make it enjoyable and when summer comes we'll see where we're at, and go from there.

I'm hoping we smash these lot today.

08 Feb 2026 13:01:48
@ The Fields; I think even if by some miracle that he wins the CL he'll still be replaced. Alonso was their first choice post Jurgen. They'll not let him slip through their fingers again. Alonso will be in. I don't have confidence in AS anymore.

And I'm just a lowly supporter. There's surely people in power who share the same opinion. That's only going to end one way. BTW I greatly appreciate all the info you share here. It's mighty!

08 Feb 2026 13:07:55
@ED25; I'd love to see the 2 Merseyside teams competing for the top titles. It'd be brilliant for the city (albeit I only visit it, I don't live there) and both sets of supporters! It's hard to beat local rivalry in any sport. Plus. itd put that other red and blue town back in their box!

{Ed025's Note - i witnessed it the last time around SG and the feeling in the city was great mate..Halcyon days indeed..

08 Feb 2026 16:53:53
As long as slot goes away from Liverpool, then I'm happy.

08 Feb 2026 19:08:47
Both Liverpool and Everton vying for trophies was the best time in football.

The entire City sticking it to those who tried to break the people, and sweep Merseyside under the carpet

And those were the days when if it wasn't Liverpool going to win a trophy- it had to be Everton.
Was genuinely gutted when Whiteside scored in the FA Cup final.

08 Feb 2026 15:56:14
edd25 Tranmere would have to get Aldo out of retirement to get a descent rivalry for us! 😉.

{Ed025's Note - we are only 2 points behind you Chrisy mate and you have got to come to Hill Dickinson yet, so maybe Tranmere are a bigger threat to you than us my friend.. :)

07 Feb 2026 13:13:41
Just a quick side note.

I'm very glad that those rumours about us wanting Romero in the summer didn't go anywhere, the guy is a total liability and even with the state of our defence I'm not certain he would improve it.

07 Feb 2026 14:09:22
Just said pretty much the same. I would rather we bring Matip out of retirement than have him.

07 Feb 2026 20:50:14
Stephen Caulker is better. Even now.

07 Feb 2026 21:47:26
Even without the red mist he's not a very good defender.

A crap defender and a red card waiting to happen. Awful player.

07 Feb 2026 21:51:56
An Akira 20 Times rumour
Called it BS straight away.

08 Feb 2026 09:59:51
The chap is a child. Not a bad player IMO, but if you can't regulate your emotions your simply a liability.

08 Feb 2026 10:14:40
Even spurs fans don't want him anymore, and this is a player who has scored crucial last minute goals for them of late and captains their side.

07 Feb 2026 06:42:04
Ed001 you are going to be seeing a lot more of Mo in due course, the Ronaldo halo has lost its shine, and the move is all falling into place.
The local guys all seem convinced he is joining have you heard the same?
I'm in Umluj but with many guys from Riyadh 👍 who love Al Nassr
I like Al Ahli personally but each to their own.

{Ed001's Note - Mo is out here in Dubai a lot anyway, on his breaks. He has a home here out by Burj Khalifa. The club want him to move on in the summer, but he doesn't want to go to Arabia. Maybe he can do what Stevie did and have the family live in Bahrain and commute, but they are not keen on going there. You have to remember that his wife is a scientist, she would not be allowed to do her job in Arabia like she can in the Emirates, for example. But their home in Dubai is a bit too far away to commute to Riyadh.

Also the kids are happy and settled in Liverpool and don't want to leave. That was why he was reduced to begging for a new contract last time, even though there were millions on offer for him to go somewhere else. The family do not want to move and he is very much a family man. He would prefer to stay at Liverpool, but he does understand that the time will come when he has to move for his career or retire.

I know that there are offers on the table for him but he has never been interested, that is the big sticking point.}

07 Feb 2026 07:05:09
Thanks OP and Ed for this Q&A. Do you think he might accept lower wages and a diminished squad role?
As you say unlikely that the club would offer it, but I think if a player like that wants to stay, his example is worth keeping around.

Maybe put him through his coaching badges if that's a side of the game he is interested in?
His game is diminishing and the writings on the wall, but a legend like him should IMO be kept around in whatever capacity for as long as possible.

{Ed001's Note - that is a difficult one as I know he just wants to play, I can't see him giving up playing until he absolutely has to. Most likely is that he moves on either this summer or at the end of his contract.}

07 Feb 2026 07:57:01
If mo was prepared to accept that he didn't play every game and his next contract was on well reduced wages I think he be well worth keeping as I think he will get his form back, I don't see him as finished at top level, and would be v useful if we ever did go too 2 up top he could be rotational option up.


I've no doubt he would play plenty of games but whether he would accept that i v much doubt it. His family situation as explained by ed1 could well see him stay in Europe r states when he does move.

07 Feb 2026 08:02:37
What's your opinion on him staying Ed. Do you think he can still offer the team something regularly?
I would assume around the club and training ground he's well thought off. Looks after himself. Recovers well after matches. Looks after himself to be in peak condition.

{Ed001's Note - I would keep him, he is a good example for the youngsters.}

07 Feb 2026 08:04:27
I mean he doesn't have to move to the Middle East. i'm sure there would be interest from Europe and the PL in him?

07 Feb 2026 08:08:37
When you look at it purely by the events that have happened since he joined, you get a sense of what Salah is really like. Dedicated sportsman, and family man. Quite far from the money-grabbing, prima donna that his agent (and others) gave us the impression of.

07 Feb 2026 08:59:28
We should've played a 442 this season and adapted his game into one of those striker roles. He's intelligent enough and he's got great vision on him.

I'm fully Convinced he could've done it, the legs have gone, he isn't a winger anymore.

But I still believe we could get a hell of a lot out of Mo Salah if we tweaked his game.

07 Feb 2026 09:25:18
Mo was "begging" for 350-400k/ week contract?

07 Feb 2026 09:47:17
LFC8 I agree, I think moving Salah to a striker role does make sense. Trying to fit him and Ekitike and Isak would be a challenge, though I think Isak would be rotated due to his fitness issues.

07 Feb 2026 10:50:56
I'm not sure he would adapt very well to play in the centre tbh since he would have less space there than on the wing. Maybe he can adapt to play slightly deeper off the main striker but that's a big if as well.

07 Feb 2026 11:11:18
He's 33 and as fit as ever, maybe a tiny bit of pace has gone but not much. It's more where and how he is being asked that has hit his numbers, there's no reason he can't perform at the highest level for another 3-4 years.

I think at some point when Slot or his successor gets the balance of possession and tempo right, Salah will shine again. Just my opinion.

07 Feb 2026 11:27:18
I really don't think mo can play as a striker. He doesn't pose any threat in the box as a physical presence, he doesn't know how to make those kinds of runs or attack the back post etc., it's a massive change from the way he has been playing attacking the six yard box.

He has changed his style of play anyway the last year or two to become an inside forward and right sided 10, that is his best position going forward I think.

07 Feb 2026 11:33:36
I hope he ends up in the backroom staff. We should make him the fitness coach.

07 Feb 2026 11:39:48
Keep him and play him central. He'd be lethal. Just IMO of course.

07 Feb 2026 11:58:49
Salah does not track back anymore and help his team mates. We need everybody in the team working for one another. Last season when he scored all those goals it was Sboz who was doing all the running for him.

When Sboz did not play, LFC were not the same team because there wasn't anybody else who could come in and do the same job. Last season it was acceptable because he was the chief goal scorer.

07 Feb 2026 12:08:28
Why did we offer him so much for him to stay if we knew that he didn't want to leave and upset his family.

07 Feb 2026 12:13:11
His pace and strength on the ball are why made him so brilliant. His control has always been great too. Having been so quick and so strong and build your career on those elite qualities, it's hard to expect him to be able to adapt. I can't see it I'm afraid. There are new kids - Hugo and Wirtz - in town and they need the time and space to develop.


Although he scores some brilliant goals he also misses many more.
Incredible as he has been, it's time to look for an exit for both club and player.
Guaranteed legend status, Klopp's success was built on a few players and Mo was undoubtedly one of them. Indeed Slot's title owes a lot to Mo.

07 Feb 2026 12:24:04
Inside right all the way. Isak or Hugo could play ahead of him. Wirtz as the point of midfield and drifting out left.

07 Feb 2026 13:37:13
People talking about Salah as the ST, like they haven't been watching him this entire season (Hell since February, 2025). The guy can not dribble past people anymore, his passing is iffy, at best, and his finishing has been appalling.

And yet people want Salah to play in an even more congested area, where precision is required more than ever. No, not for me. That is a recipe for disaster. He is done, incredible player, one of the best in our history, but every player reaches their limit, and Salah has, unfortunately, reached his.

We should look to ease Salah out, if we can, next season. If not Saudi, then potentially another team in Europe. We were lenient on Kelleher's fee, due to his professionalism, etc. I feel we can do the same for Salah, in some capacity. And, in all honesty, the Salah of now would not demand a high fee. 20-30 million would probably fit the criteria.

Love the guy, but time catches up with us all, and it finally caught up with Salah, at 33. The fact it took this long is honestly impressive, he has been playing to a high standard ever since he joined Liverpool, play consistently too, and only flagged at the end of last season. Hopefully gets a great send off, which he rightfully deserves, and we build again in his absence.

07 Feb 2026 13:48:33
Ed001 Mo has got to be moved closer in playing far to wide it is a waste he offers nothing there because he has no right foot so he is not going to get a cross in if you are going to play him so wide he would have to move to the left.
He is no John Barnes Ed and when he picks the ball up now he has nowhere to go but into crowds as for playing as a striker Ed I just don't see it myself don't know what you think but with us having Ekitike and Isak when fit I really would not play Mo there.

07 Feb 2026 15:01:56
Salah as a striker? Sorry cannot see how that is going to work for anyone. Salah will get crowded out and it will expose his limitations. We will be paying with 10 men.

Crazy idea.

{Ed025's Note - i agree StEA..

07 Feb 2026 17:35:05
Same could of been said about manes last season with us. He was finished on wing and Jurgen shoved him upfront. Did pretty well I believe. Salah has been this superstar on wing, sometimes 2 or 3 players on him, wouldn't of won nothing if it wasn't for him. Cut him some slack for a bad patch.

Wonderful player. A lot of changes at the club this season and new tactics. Which clearly doesn't blend with the style we've been used to to for several previous years. Play a lot quicker and we might just see some signs of the old mo come back. Starting against city tomorrow.

07 Feb 2026 19:09:43
I still refuse to believe he is suddenly a bad player. Until that bald fraud is moved on I'll reserve my judgement. But the other buffoons above him will of course have their views.

07 Feb 2026 20:52:54
If he gets crowded out then it creates room for someone else. I believe he still has a role to play in what would be his final season.

08 Feb 2026 06:51:50
Sorry I don't agree with calling Slot names. He still won us the league in his first season. I know many will say it was with klopps team but how many times has a manager taken a successful team and pretty much destroyed it in their first season, Souness anyone.

08 Feb 2026 14:16:00
Watched Newcastle v Brentford last night Brentford right winger ripped the Newcastle left back a new AH . The same left back that MO could not beat with a stick which really tells the truth about MO's legs going .
I don't want it coming to the end for MO but it comes to all sports persons. YNWA.

Liverpool are interested in bringing Stiller to the club in the summer and have had him scouted several times since the turn of the year, Ed001 would this be instead of Wharton who Carra says we are after, as they are similar types of player I think?
Not ITK but my neighbour works at the club and told me this last night as I'm home at the moment on leave.

{Ed001's Note - I would expect so yes, I know we are interested in both but it would be very odd to actually sign both. I can't see how they can really fit together.}

07 Feb 2026 07:59:56
Wharton is an excellent player and would improve our midfield but for me we still be lacking real aggression in there.
Wharton + a bruno g type midfielder and we would be in business imo.

07 Feb 2026 08:05:05
Who is Stiller?

07 Feb 2026 08:18:19
Off the top of my head, Angelo Stiller (born 4 April 2001) is a German professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart and the Germany national team.

07 Feb 2026 10:00:35
BrisbaneLFC, his first name is Ben.

You could also look up on YouTube "Stiller" plus any of his nicknames below to get some awesome highlights:

- Blue Steel
- Le Tigre
- Magnum

"Magnum" is his most recent one from what they called his "ultimate" technique.

07 Feb 2026 10:02:50
Are we going for Ben Stiller? Hope not. he likes to dodge ball and he's a total Focker.

07 Feb 2026 08:24:24
Do we have interest in either Anderson and Sadiki Ed? I would put Anderson a level above both Wharton and Stiller. I don't know if Anderson is capable of playing as out and out DM, and if not Sadiki would be a good shout I think.

{Ed001's Note - we did have a look at Anderson, which suggests we will be interested unless the scout is a moron! Anderson can play a number of roles. Sadiki is not a DM, he does not sit, Xhaka does, but he would be a fantastic addition, unfortunately he is not the type of midfielder Slot wants.}

07 Feb 2026 11:22:23
I hope to god we keep salah at the club.

{Ed025's Note - why?..

07 Feb 2026 11:29:36
Anderson, sadiki, stiller and Wharton are completely different types of players, no? Anderson and sadiki are all action midfielders, stiller and Wharton are deep lying passers who can do a bit of protecting the back line if necessary. I think we need the latter profile much more right now, stiller has always been my pick of the bunch.

07 Feb 2026 12:08:12
But will Slot still be here Ed001?

{Ed001's Note - probably.}

07 Feb 2026 12:26:03
Stiller is a very tough cookie, like my dad, for exactly the same reason. It makes him a very good pick for us, as PB said maybe more than Wharton. He's granite.

07 Feb 2026 12:29:40
Ed025 apologies my reply was supposed to be to the one above

But Salah is still the most talented player at the club and if he goes then it will come back to haunt us either in the PL or CL.

{Ed025's Note - i would cash in myself 1312, like when you move into an old house and pull out the old scrap pipework and replace with new, weigh him in i would say and buy some new pipes that are not leaking..

07 Feb 2026 12:38:40
The question is whether Slot values a 'tough cookie' in the team. He'd rather give CJ gametime than Endo.

07 Feb 2026 12:54:26
Stiller is a superb passer and reader of the game. Wouldn't be unhappy to see him in a Liverpool shirt.

07 Feb 2026 14:08:32
We prob need 2 midfielders if Macca goes which I think he will.
Who would be your choices Ed and why?

{Ed001's Note - Sadiki and Anderson because they are what we need.}

07 Feb 2026 14:48:22
With Carra suggesting Aloso will be manager why do you think we will have to put up with more Slot ball eds?

{Ed025's Note - yes, for this season anyway mate..

07 Feb 2026 16:13:03
Wharton for me, admittedly haven't seen much of stiller . however prem proven Wharton is an absolute gem, just needs the bigger and better now. Won't be cheap but definitely be worth it.

07 Feb 2026 16:53:25
Stiller would get so much stick from opposition fans about his lip/ nose. I suspect he might get a bit in Germany, but English fans can be truly horrible tw4ts. Beyond banter, it would be hate-fuelled.

07 Feb 2026 15:11:21
Is the club looking to move both Macca and Jones, Ed? I wouldn't mind Macca leaving, but Jones going would mean no Scouser in the team, and I personally think that losing that local identity would be a shame.

{Ed001's Note - Macca is likely to leave, but as I said when Jones was being linked with Roma, I know nothing about him leaving.}
