Ed1, how good do you think he can be if he continues playing on the right? He doesn't strike me as someone who can consistently beat defenders one-on-one, but he can certainly whip a good ball into the box.
I remember when you said that his arrogance stopped him from developing the defensive aspects of his game. At that time, people were always raving about him making hard, crunching tackles and so-called last-ditch tackles. But as you said before, great defenders never need to make last-ditch tackles.
{Ed001's Note - I think he would have been even better than he was because he would have developed the defensive aspects helping to cover his full back and become the best in the world at the time, when he eventually moved central.}

Hit the rusty nail on the head there ED001. Klopp would have loved Chiesa.

Ed001 Carra Fields Robbo or anyone else ITK.
I thought I would have got up this morning to see Slot misery was over but it looks like he is going to still be here Wednesday.
The hierarchy of the club is worse than Slot one for letting this go for8 months of this season.
They should also be looking how the player trained under our best manager in the premier era and see how this has changed and how are performances have drastically fallen of a cliff with this manager and all his days off and they should have put a stop to this nonsense and if he does not like it tell him he can walk.

I'd almost be annoyed if he was sacked now. Last night was no different to anything that's happened for the past 5 months.
I've gone beyond wanting Slot gone; I want Hughes and Edwards gone as well.
Make no mistake, this season has been an absolute disgrace. He should've gone in November. It's too little, too late.
FSG need to step in and get rid of all 3. Absolutely shocking from top to bottom.
16 Mar 2026 09:53:59
Those responsible for keeping this Slot rot in place need to be fired for their negligent mismanagement of the club.
16 Mar 2026 10:16:07
I have not posted all season, but this Spurs result has hit the Bs limit - something needs to change. I expect a few players (Gakpo and Salah), plus Slot, to be gone - yes, not getting 3 points can happen, but this is on the back of a string of s*** results and performances.

Ed001 what is the problem with Gerrard Ed am not talking about his tactics am talking about the man himself that so may people don't like.
{Ed001's Note - he is not known for being a nice person mate. He spent his entire life being told how great he was, so he has developed a bit of understandable arrogance. On the pitch, it made him a great player - but did stop him developing the defensive aspects that would have made him the greatest player we ever had without question and led to him refusing to continue playing on the right for Rafa. To then have him talk constantly about how he would play anywhere for England and happily play on the left for them put people's backs up as well.
Then there were a few incidents, falling out with teammates that meant they left Liverpool as he and Carragher were in control of the dressing room. Some of it was silly, like falling out with Torres as Nando didn't want to go on a lad's night out midweek because he had a newborn baby.}

ED001, do you have any information regarding how Isak's recovery is going?
{Ed001's Note - I believe he is doing ball work now, so shouldn't be more than 3 or 4 weeks away, without any setbacks.}
16 Mar 2026 10:08:25
Get Isak fit for the new season ahead, as that forward line is in desperate need of a fit and firing Isak.
16 Mar 2026 10:17:04
I look forward to a fit and firing Isak!
On a side note, does anyone think we will ever see a return close to what we spent on Ekitike, Wirtz, and Isak? I find it difficult to think that we will get value for money spent on those three altogether!
16 Mar 2026 10:31:39
They haven't become bad players, @Faith. They are just playing for a manager who refuses to play any kind of positive football in a team that has become lethargic and apathetic. They are still young and will only get better over the next few years once playing in a functioning team.
16 Mar 2026 10:34:52
Absolutely.
Isak is proven and I have no worries about him.
Seen enough of Wirtz to know he is gonna be a rock star. I think a time playing in the same position may benefit him. All this nonsense about sticking out wide is, well, least said the better.
Ekitike, again, I think has shown enough. If you think what 50 or 60m gets you these days...
I don't think anyone envisaged him playing as much as he has, tho tbf. Think he is showing signs of season burn out, but not to worry. Soon we will be down to one game a week anyway, so may recover.

Ed01 surely you can help me understand this at it baffles me. How is Chiesa never good enough to start games or good enough when we are winning games by two goals but all of a sudden he is good enough when we are chasing games, I don't get the rationale behind it.
{Ed001's Note - it is called panic. It is not about him not being good enough, it is that he does not play Slot's mind-numbing style. Chiesa wants to work hard, press and play the ball forward, the complete antithesis of a Slot player. He wants players to amble around slowly and pass it sideways and backwards.}
16 Mar 2026 09:29:04
Good question. It is incredible, really! I have always thought about that.
16 Mar 2026 09:46:54

I just hope Gerrard's ego doesn't overshadow what needs to be done. Hopefully, he can instil a die for the shirt mentality that Klopp created and Slot has destroyed within 12 months.
Can't see us winning Wednesday with Slot in the dugout. But if he loses, that has to be it for him.
{Ed001's Note - at least Gerrard's ego was all about winning and wanting to be the best even in training, which is something we could do with right now.... yes I am looking at you Virgil.}

Brilliant, ed001. It's clear Slot is a salt piel, as the South Africans say - one leg in England, the other in his homeland, and his "lad" in the salty sea!

I thought Ed001 was joking earlier in the season when he mentioned how unfit they were and that the fitness and conditioning were a joke. Well, guess what, you probably feel vindicated Ed001, because I remember people on here saying it's because Slot wants to play controlled blah blah. It's like clockwork: every game, the team will drop off and be second to everything. We are likely getting far more injuries this year because the players' bodies can't handle the workload due to poor conditioning. They are probably tired from having to keep up with teams who have fitness levels above theirs.
Ed001, surely there's a reason he keeps giving them days off training, and if you go to the players' Instagram profiles, you see them jetting off two days before games?! That is a sackable offense in itself, the way he has handled the training of the first team. I've never before seen a top-level side have this many days off training. The trip to Ibiza before the league ended was the biggest red flag, as I know for sure Klopp or even Pep would never allow that to happen.
{Ed001's Note - yes, the reason is so he can have some time off to visit his family as being manager of Liverpool is just a part time job to this man.}

ED001 I agree, i'd have got rid in November myself, but think Gerrard could rally them round now, the people who make these decisions are incompetent n it needs seriously looking into, we're limped from game to game with no plan, like we've gave up this season with no additions in jan, maybe they could have told us fans who pay ( to us ) fortunes for tickets etc n maybe we could've gave up this season aswel
15 Mar 2026 22:01:07
ED001, I know yourself like most on here wanted Slot gone a few months ago, my question is, is it too late to get rid now n bring Gerrard in for the rest of the season, is the remaining games not enough for someone else to get a tune out of this squad, in my opinion Gerrard would at least have them fired up.
{Ed001's Note - it is never too late, you can make a difference in one game just by bringing something fresh to the players and getting them excited to play again.}

Question for the Eds, where do you believe this team is going wrong and how can it be fixed?
I believe Slot has to take a lot of blame with his tactics, team selections and from what I have read coaching. The players must also take the blame, with the exception of Szobo non of them are playing with any intensity on a consistent basis, the simple passes are ponderous and miss the intended target or they make the wrong pass.
Tracking back and holding on to the ball way too long is also a problem.
We are so frustrating to watch at the minute and it doesn't feel like I am watching a team who won the league last year, that is full of international players on thousands of pounds a week.
{Ed001's Note - change the coaching staff, replace Hughes and Edwards and we should improve. The tactics and lack of fitness are both shocking.}
15 Mar 2026 23:29:58
I have long believed the problem is not just Slot, although Slot is the main reason. Edwards and Hughes must shoulder quite a bit of the blame.
They will try to keep Slot in situ, because if Slot goes, Hughes and Edwards will go as well.
Over to you FSG...!!!

Ed001 I thought he had talks and was happy to come in temporarily.
I do think if he had come in when he should have at the end of November with this league being so poor I think we would have been right up there in the title race and it would have been hard to sack him.
I watched City last night Ed and I thought they just reminded me of us so slow and predictable.
I can't say I have seen a good team all seasons in the league or champions league. I don't know if you have seen anyone that stands out Ed but I think Arsenal are a pretty average team and I think they have a great chance to win everything because I can't think of a side that will stop them.
{Ed001's Note - Arsenal are the best side in the Prem and that is why they will win it.}

Tbh Ed001, just save yourself the writing and put a picture of a steaming dog egg. As that sums the match up perfectly.
