{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new player profile about, Kobbie Mainoo

I hate to admit it too but Mainoo is some player. I was fully expecting to see a player that has been overhyped by the Utd fans and the media but he truly is something special. I thought he was exceptional in the FA Cup game against us and mostly came out on top on the midfield battle. Utd have a real gem on their hands with him and Garnacho.

Cracking player Dracred, like you I'd just heard Utd fans hyping him up and thought 'here we go again, another one' type thing - but the lad looks truly special and had a very good game against us.

I lost count of the times Mainoo passed the ball into touch. Maybe I’m being unfair but he doesn’t look all that.

He isn’t that good just the best of a bad bunch with Nacho. England talk is ridiculous. Remember I was a scout don’t yer know. Average springs to mind.

Ed1, it kinda stinks because he looks like a very good young player but is a Utd player. Is there anyone within our academy that looks like a special player to you Ed? Or any of our young player that have make their appearance in the first team this season that caught your eye?

{Ed001's Note - Bajcetic is the one that stands out for us, or did before his injuries. Hopefully he can recover fully and reach his potential, which is sky high. Bradley obviously is our own special talent that has emerged into the first team this season. I do like the look of McConnell as well.}

He did look like a special talent before the injury. He is putting on a bit more muscle in the new training picture. Hoping that will be a good sign. You did mentioned McConnell before. He is playing at a position where we have plenty of good players and most of them are young. That doesn't even counting Trent if he is to move to midfield. Do you think he can make it with us? Curious if his best position is as a DM or one of the two alongside DM?

{Ed001's Note - I think McConnell is capable of playing any of the positions, but he has a tough job on to break in to the team.}

Even Tyler Morton loan is doing well for him. But he probably going to be sold or loan again. What about Danns Ed? He is only playing few minutes so far. But what do you make of him?

{Ed001's Note - looks sharp but does need to build himself up physically to play the way he looks to be best. He is strong in the air, but you need a bit of strength about you to use that strength most of the time. Otherwise you just end up being knocked away.}

I'm so happy we have Bajcetic, Bradley and Quansah. If they all stay fit, they are going to be outstanding for us.

United definitely have a good one in mainoo. No point denting it because it's United. In a terrible season for them, at least they can hang onto the fact that they graduated a good youngster in a key position. Something to build on. Hopefully they won't though?.

I like Mainoo but can't help thinking that him playing for united hasn't created a hype train but it certainly ADDED to it. The likes of Ferdinand were putting him forward for England after a handful of games, even now how many Prem games does he have 10 or 12?Very good little player but this time last year Bajcetic was doing the same for us, don't remember anyone clamouring for Spain to be building the team around him. If anything he was the easy target for Lfc fans after defwats against Real etc, and we were struggling as much as a team then as Utd are now.

{Ed077's Note - Ed001 did a profile on a young academy lad, coming through at United and all you can do is moan and complain that Bajcetic (who's been out injured most of the season) isn't getting any love? You do realise that there can be more than one good player right?}

Hearing Utd want to replace Ten Hag with Southgate.

If Southgate goes there it would be brilliant. Expect to see Maguire start every week and Hendo to return to the premier league to be Southgate’s midfield lynchpin.

Mainoo to move on then to get away from a relegation battle.

My first thought was zidane to Utd. Us to get naglesman and tuchel to go to Newcastle.

{Ed077's Note - Who goes to Bayern in that scenario? Alonso?

I think Jose to Newcastle makes a lot of sense.}

Mainoo is a promising prospect BUT like someone said, he is our Baj of last season where he was good to very good in a bad bunch. However, I thing Baj has the upper hand here cos he was good in a bad bunch while Mainoo is good in an even worse bunch at Utd, if that makes sense. Both players are very promising regardless.

That said, Baj is amazing and I rated him from the first moment I saw him turn a RB Salzburg player and sent him to the shops in one half turn. As for Macconell and Morton, I will need to see more of them to better judge them.

Wasnt moaning or complaining, players like elliott or jones have yet to recieve a call up. if you think a player without an u21 cap and 15 league games to his name isn't helped somewhat by the sky led hype train then what can i say, your probably still waiting for Maguire to morph into utd's virg. but like i said i do like Mainoo.

Garnacho is massively overrated. Scored one good goal. I bet he disappears in the next few years. One trick pony.

Garnacho works hard and is a nuisance for defenders. He creates space for the other attackers just with his movement too. He's still very young but he has improved as the season has gone on. The most impressive thing I find about him is his work rate. In the FA Cup game against us, he never stopped running for the entire 120mins which is very impressive. I think we have to learn how to give credit to other players from other teams when they deserve it.

Noooo Jose to Bayern Ed 77 Alonso stays put.

{Ed077's Note - still harboring hopes of Alonso eventually becoming your manager??}

The thought of Nagelsmann ending up as our manager appalls me. If that’s the best we can do then we might as well write off 18 months until he’s inevitably sacked. He completely lacks any of the competencies needed to replace Klopp, his judgement has been found to be extremely poor, the Bayern players actively tried to get him out they had that little respect for him or his “tactics” and then there’s the matter of him saying he as good as held our club in contempt in an interview. I’d be Nagelsmann out from the start as I don’t believe he deserves a chance.

@Victor, the next manager isn’t being brought in to replace Klopp.

The next manager is being brought in to be the manager of Liverpool FC starting with the 24 / 25 season - there’s a difference.

I honestly can’t think of anyone who can replace Klopp - in the sense they do what he does but better.

Taking a start point of we are looking for the next version of Klopp means that you will only be disappointed whoever the manager turns out to be.

ViktorVaughan like you, I want nothing to do with that Nagelsmann of a fellow. He seems to be bored when he is not managing a club hence, he seems to get any job or ready to take any job that comes his way whenever he is out of work. And if he did had contempt for our club in an interview then thet only rubber-stamps my point as in, Nagelsmann needs NOT apply.

Also, Im not convinced at all that he is the right guy for the job cos he seems to lack the humility (competences, perhaps) to be a good steward of our great club and would prolly like to stamp his own authority on the culture Klopp, his staff, the players and FSG have worked hard to build cos he thinks he is that good which he A'INT, in my view. He and DeZerbi can keep it stepping, IMO.

By very definition a new manager will be “replacing” Klopp, given that they’ll take the place of an outgoing manager.

I’d at least want someone competent, someone who respects the club, the supporters and ethos of the club. Nagelsmann meets none of those criteria, he’s not competent, he doesn’t respect the club or supporters (he’s literally on record as saying that), he certainly doesn’t care or understand the ethos of the club, all of those things that Klopp was from day one.

He’s the wrong man to manage the club, he’s nothing more than Brendan Rodgers with a German accent. He was out of his depth at Bayern, he is out of his depth with the German national side, he’d be out of his depth in a very shallow puddle.
