Morning Reds and Edds

I'm on holiday in Egypt. The hotel although very nice does not show the games. I watched the PSG game on the room tv which is crap and a screaming commentator in Arabic

Do any of you know a way I can pick up a commentary of the game? A radio app perhaps that works in Egypt?

Thanks. Ps I hope Harry Willson isn't playing today. Every time I see him play I wish he was still a Red.

1-0 to us if Willson stays in London.

YNWA.

{Ed001's Note - try the TOD app mate or BeIn Connect. Not sure which one you have there in Egypt.}

11 Apr 2026 12:12:13
Can you not use a VPN and then watch on Sky Sports.

11 Apr 2026 12:33:24
Do yourself a favour and don't watch/listen to it... If I want to get bored or have my day ruined I just watch Liverpool at the moment. So sad to say that after the glorious Klopp years! I have no affinity to Slot and this team and I cannot wait for the season to be over!

11 Apr 2026 10:16:43
If we go for Iraola, or even if we don’t, I would love us to make cheeky enquiries about Zabarnyi at PSG. He has had a disappointing season, but I’ve always rated him very highly.

I’d break the bank for him if he wanted a return to the PL. However, he was very keen on PSG and his fortunes will probably improve. He was torlet against Lyon.

11 Apr 2026 09:29:57
Anyone taking bets on us losing to a 92nd minute goal?
Standard Slotism.

11 Apr 2026 09:39:10
I think we will get beat today, 2-1 to Fulham.

11 Apr 2026 09:48:37
If we get a shot on target and more than 26%, then it's an improvement on Wednesday.

All joking aside, we desperately need to win this one, but I'm not confident we'll do that.

11 Apr 2026 09:56:18
I'm gonna watch this game on TV, go the game on Tuesday, and call it a season.

I think I've done well lasting this long. I'm checking out 5 months later than the manager and players anyway. 😂

11 Apr 2026 10:09:35
I'm opposite to you, LFC8. I've just given my ticket up for Tuesday. Going later. Will be at CL semi-final when we get through!

11 Apr 2026 10:18:03
I'll give it this season but I won't watch every single game next season either live or on TV if Slot and Hughes are still knocking about.

11 Apr 2026 10:28:01
Deffo a late Fulham goal in the offing. We're 2nd highest (NUFC highest) conceders of late goals, and Fulham are joint highest scorers of late goals. All according to the BBC.

11 Apr 2026 10:30:44
Have to win today.

Champions League football is a must next season.

Slot or no Slot, we need Champions League football.

Have to get going in the league.

11 Apr 2026 10:43:35
Can't see anything other than a draw tbh!

We're toothless & Fulham are a dangerous outfit with no end of season pressure!

I.

11 Apr 2026 10:52:39
For some unknown reason, I'm going for a 2 nil win. My logic is we can't get any worse than the game against PSG, n Fulham aren't PSG. We desperately need all 3pts. This shower have to put the effort and pride in till the end of the season.

11 Apr 2026 10:57:04
It will be good for Xabi to come in with low expectations after a woeful season. The only way will be Up, and we'll see who has the work ethic for his style.
My sense is that both Eki and Isak will be moved on after 1 more season.

11 Apr 2026 11:02:28
Some of the posters need to get their big boys pants on and stop this constant dirge of negativity and stop sounding like the United fans that they ridiculed when they were complaining about other teams not letting them win every game. Yes, we've had a disappointing season, yes, we have a manager who's not up to the job, yes, some of the players are not playing up to their capabilities.

It will improve, we will get a manager who inspires the team and new signings will reinvigorate the team. Support the club, not just the individuals who are just passing through, and show a bit of optimism and hopefully make the site a little less tedious.

11 Apr 2026 11:17:09
We'll win, 3-1 I think.
I'll be there, 2 for Isak (one penalty).

11 Apr 2026 11:19:30
Unfortunately, believers now doubters. A draw today at best, buy think 2 nil Fulham. Sad times.

11 Apr 2026 11:38:48
I think we'll win all our remaining home games.

11 Apr 2026 11:49:06
Rome 1977, you're a pessimist mate, but fair play to you buddy.

11 Apr 2026 11:19:54
Yes, we've had a disappointing season, yes, we have a manager who's not up to the job, yes, some of the players are not playing up to their capabilities

Jesus Kemlyn stop your negativity and put your big boy pants on.

11 Apr 2026 12:12:56
I think we will sneak a win today. An unconvincing one.

11 Apr 2026 12:44:54
Going with 3-1 to Fulham, booing at halftime and mass walk outs after 70 minutes, more booing at full time.

11 Apr 2026 13:07:34
I hate the idea of booing, but it's the only way to let whoever is in charge know that the supporters aren't happy with the current direction of the club. From reading press reports, it feels like FSG are happy with Slot, no idea how true that is though...

11 Apr 2026 09:07:55
LFC potential manager options should Arne Slot leave, which depends on final league position at this moment.

- Xabi Alonso: Clear frontrunner. Perfect stylistic fit — high-pressing, possession-dominant football with tactical flexibility. Knows the club inside out as a former player and wants the job.

- Sebastian Hoeness: Highly rated. Young, dynamic, and data-driven. Builds intense, attacking teams with strong organisation.

His Stuttgart success shows he can develop players and overachieve.

- Julian Nagelsmann: Elite-level coach. Innovative tactician with excellent man-management. Brings modern, flexible systems and has Premier League-level ambition.

- Andoni Iraola: In-form Premier League performer. Organised, high-pressing style with attacking full-backs. Proven ability to improve players and get results on a budget.

11 Apr 2026 09:59:40
Yeah, you lost me at calling Nagelsmann elite.

11 Apr 2026 09:47:31
Racey

I think for me we have to get a manager who has proven top level experience and has won trophies, who plays the same sort of football we saw with Jurgen

I know Ed has a different perspective but for me it's Nagelsmann with Xabi a close runner

11 Apr 2026 10:09:34
Agree with everything except Nagelsmann. He's very overrated and the opposite of excellent man-management, in my opinion... He can be toxic.

I'd be ok with any of the other 3 mentioned. Alonso, I'm not convinced he'll want to come if we still have Hughes and Edwards in their positions.

He might want more assurance on him having greater authority on transfers. That's just my assumption, not ITK.

11 Apr 2026 10:09:41
Don Carlo may be available if, as seems likely, Brazil fail to win the World Cup. Not sure that he is the right man to bring out the best in the current team, nor that he has the drive that maybe he had, ten years ago, when he appeared to be in the frame, with Jurgen, to take over.

He is, however, one of the greatest managers ever and is a proven winner.

11 Apr 2026 10:31:32
Iraola for me.

11 Apr 2026 11:00:10
Alonso now, Hoeness after him in 10 years time.

11 Apr 2026 11:10:20
Chat GPT summary much?

11 Apr 2026 11:33:15
Nagelsmann won't be available until late summer at most. Plus he's a bit of a knobhead.

Iraola, I'm not convinced by. It's a big step up managing a mid table club with no expectations to one of the greatest clubs in world football, and very few have successfully made that jump.

Xabi knows the club, the fans, he's built a league title winning side from nothing and but for the fact that Madrid is a cesspit of the worst cretins, he'd have been a success there. He's the best candidate available and it's not really very close.

11 Apr 2026 08:44:53
Feels like so many big things need to happen this summer for the club's fortunes to improve.
I see it as follows:

1- Alonso to take over as manager and not just as the coach.
2- Dependable right back signed, my choice would be Kayode from Brentford.
3- Top class right winger signed, Olise would be a dream, but more likely to be Diomande.
4- Top class CB signed, must replace VVD. I’m afraid he is gone, nowhere near world class anymore. I like the idea of Lacroix due to his prem experience.
5- Midfield rejigged, MacAllister to be sold, Jones and Elliott too, Anderson won’t be joining the reds, we should push for Stiller, Wharton, Gomes etc, my choices would be Stiller and Gomes.

Other issues to be resolved are Isak and his fitness/ availability.
Ekitike and his potential attitude issues.
Left back cover for Kerkez providing genuine competition.
Goalkeeper potentially required, I would sell Allison if we are offered anything close to £30-40m. Love the guy but he is way too injury prone to be our go to number 1.

11 Apr 2026 09:28:27
If we sign Kayode, can the club put a clause in his contract that he has to have the name Wiley on the back of his jersey?

11 Apr 2026 09:38:08
Kayode is a great option centre.
Gertruida is less dynamic but good cover for several positions.

11 Apr 2026 09:43:42
I don't buy in this theory that our CBs are suddenly terrible when they were part of such an impressive record last season. The issue for me is with the way they are so exposed at the back.

Even the best CBs would look poor when you have no help.
Ibou has several brain farts but get him a RB who helps defend and he'll be fine.

11 Apr 2026 10:31:08
I half agree with Brommers, the CBs have been made to look crap. I'd say the same about Mo too. And as for selling Ali, not for me, he's gotta stay til he retires.

11 Apr 2026 11:06:27
I agree, Brommers. With Leoni coming back, Jacquet already signed and Konate looking like he'll sign a new deal, I think anyone wanting another CB signed is in for a disappointing summer. Leoni and Jacquet cost a combined £95m. We're not signing another if Konate, Virgil and Gomez stay; which looks extremely likely.

I also can't see us signing 2 or 3 midfielders. Elliott has been replaced with Wirtz. Nyoni will be seriously banging on the door for more game time. Gravenberch has just signed a huge extension. Szoboszlai is close to signing a huge extension. Jones, I just can't see leaving, sorry I know many dislike him but he's not going to want to leave in my opinion. We will need to replace Mac Allister and it seems like Wharton, Camavinga, Gomes, Fernandes and Andre are all on our radar. I expect only 1 to sign though and I hope it's Gomes or Fernandes.

The main priority is going to be new wingers. Gakpo and Salah both likely to leave, Chiesa probably will too. We have Rio and Morrison coming through but I don't see them as ready yet. I think it'll be 2 or 3 of Gordon, Minteh and Diomande.

I make you correct, Brommers. We look bad defensively because of the shocking lack of pressure on the ball at all times and that comes from Slot's fitness training (or lack of) and us missing a work horse in midfield. We've already signed a £30m right back last summer. Bradley, Gomez, Ramsay and Stephenson are there as cover. The problem we have at RB is a bottle job manager who won't trust an academy RB. He sent the best one out on loan to Scotland and let Ramsay rot in the u21's whilst he put midfielders out of position. We do not need a RB and we have already committed £60m to a CB. The squad is not as weak as all these defeatists are suddenly making out. We have a top squad that is just lacking in a few key areas. A) we don't have the right wingers to play with an out and out striker and B) we don't have midfielder who is both aggressive and mobile. Fix those issues and any half decent manager will have us competing again. Let's not forget we signed Wirtz, Isak and Ekitike last summer which is £300m worth of attacking talent.

11 Apr 2026 11:59:02
Personally, I think Mac Allister & Jones should both be moved on. Mac Allister has fallen off massively, lacks any mobility, physicality or pace. Jones is just a waste of a shirt. Hopeless player, weak in the tackle and brainless in and out of possession. Poster boy of everything wrong in midfield.

Our midfield is painfully short on physicality. We need two midfielders, judging by how absolutely awful we are in the engine room.

Personally, not impressed with Wharton, he's just as leaden footed and immobile as Mac Allister, but without the goal threat, he's just as poor defensively as well. Camavinga is a sicknote and should be avoided at all costs.

We need a defensive midfielder and there's no argument to the contrary. If we don't address that effectively we're in for another season like this one.

10 Apr 2026 22:39:00
Anyone want some proper Scouse talent to come through and just show that proper love and desire for the club, I’m a fan of Jones but feel we need more local.

10 Apr 2026 23:33:36
Jones on the pitch shows absolutely zero desire or commitment, he's like a wet fart that lad.

11 Apr 2026 00:17:46
A wet fart is too much desire.

11 Apr 2026 06:04:21
The Jones bubble has burst. Him being in the squad or not doesn't make a semblance of difference. He is not that special a player and the ceiling was never that high no matter how much adulation he gets because he is a local lad.

11 Apr 2026 07:20:52
I think you are all a bit harsh - he's not played well this season, but was doing better last, and he's a decent squad player, can play in multiple roles, not a high salary and local.

11 Apr 2026 07:36:22
After seeing Jones attitude in the Brighton game, he would be 1st out the door for me.
I would've been a fan of his, but he hasn't progressed like what I thought he would and we have too many of his type that not near aggressive enough.

11 Apr 2026 07:44:02
Not sure why Jones gets so much hate.

He's exactly the type of squad player that every team needs.

He hasn't been at his best, but who has this season?

The lads need a coach who will invest into the whole LFC experience, from the club to the city.

That attitude will then filter down to the players as well.

Everything at the club is rotten to the core and a complete change in attitude is required, from top to bottom.

11 Apr 2026 07:47:22
I'd be happy with just a Scouse wives update at this point.

11 Apr 2026 08:28:21
A wet fart usually leaves a mark.

11 Apr 2026 08:31:30
Is Jones worth his place? For me, no, he really offers nothing, so why want to keep him, Morton would have been a better shout to keep.
Just because he's a scouser.

11 Apr 2026 08:32:53
Who was the last one we had? Trent had another 'dream move' in mind, Gerrard? It seems the prospects in the youth team are now brought in from elsewhere. Bradley, although not Scouse, shows the desire for the badge more than most, in my opinion.

Shame about the injury, as we would do with a bit of that right now. Same goes for Danns. Injury free, he might have got some decent minutes this season with Isak out.

11 Apr 2026 09:54:27
Funny thing is, the whole squad, for the most part, have been garbage. The common denominator is Slot, I'd certainly keep him if a new manager is inbound.

11 Apr 2026 10:19:40
It's not being harsh on Jones. He's one of the least effective footballers I've ever seen. He's like Joe Allen, regeneration. He's weak in the tackle, has no defensive nous, offers nothing going forward and even less defensively, and hasn't improved since breaking into the side. He's pretty woeful in any position he plays in, which is not versatility. Spursiest player I've ever.

10 Apr 2026 21:05:25
I really hope all three stooges leave. I want all gone but last summer transfer window I don’t care what anyone says was a good window.
Apart from Trent leaving and Frimpong replacing him and Diaz leaving is the only other question mark but last season fully fit team Gakpo started ahead of him. Every other position was strengthened massively. Isak and Ekitike and a lot better players than Nunez and Jota. Wirtz is miles ahead Elliot and same with Kerkez over Robertson now as he has been on the decline for 3 years now.
So the way things have gone there is one true culprit and that is Slot.

Yeah we could have done with another cb but even that was stronger than last season our squad had two 11 to chose from before looking at the u23 but the conditioning of the squad is the reason for all this trouble and with that has come the confidence issues effecting even seasoned professionals like Salah and Virgil. I just hope we get top 5 and the sooner this season is over and that disrespectful Clown is sacked the better then he can get back to Holland where he wants to be and 99% of the fans want him.

10 Apr 2026 21:39:14
If Leoni stayed fit, he would have partnered Virgil. I agree, all the players signed were huge upgrades. I don't know why we don't go for an experienced RB. An older head who can cover for a few years.

10 Apr 2026 22:07:30
Geertrudia would be perfect and can play a number of roles.

11 Apr 2026 03:07:31
@RedJ, Jack of all trades but master of none. He's average at best and there's a lot better out there, I think.

11 Apr 2026 07:09:08
WDW 100%.
Is this the level we are setting? A Sunderland substitute?

11 Apr 2026 07:43:47
We signed Robbo from Hull, Mane and Van Dijk from Southampton, and Gini from a relegated Newcastle. Not sure judging players based on the team they're at makes the most sense.

11 Apr 2026 08:35:14
Porro - Mixed views on this guy, but Id take him from Tottenham if they're relegated.

10 Apr 2026 20:53:03
Players like Robo are leaving because they were not offered a new contract and rightly so. He would have wanted a 3 year deal which would have taken him to 35 and too old.

In hindsight, which is a great thing, we would not have resigned Salah or Van Dykk and kept Diaz.
Salah was a waste of at least 20m in wages and Van Dykk has been poor in too many games.

10 Apr 2026 22:25:54
Starting any sentence off with "In hindsight" is completely irrelevant unless you've got a time machine. Salah had a record season, there's not a club on the planet who wouldn't have given him an extension. Van Dijk too was exceptional last season. Nobody with half a brain would let either of them walk for free after they guided us to a league title.

10 Apr 2026 22:30:57
And Diaz wanted to leave.

11 Apr 2026 03:10:11
OP, how do you know he "would have wanted a 3 year deal"? He, like Millie, wants to play as much footy as he can, whilst he can. Good luck to the lad.

11 Apr 2026 10:46:09
There was a reason klopp kept players around for longer than some fans wanted. Do you think if milly/hendo was still here the players would be where they are at atm? Losing Robbo and Mo is going to weaken the mentality of the squad, replacing men with pansies seems to be the M.O

10 Apr 2026 21:12:21
Ed's, or any ITK's,
Having watched our manager state he feels he has the support of the club and the fans, I find myself wondering if he is delusional?
Is this just bravado, keeping to the party line or does he mistakenly believe he really has our backing?
Thanks to all for a brilliant site
Phil.

{Ed001's Note - I think he is just saying what he has to say. If he criticised the fans that would immediately turn the atmosphere toxic. To be fair to him, a lot of the away fans have shown him incredible support, which I don't believe he deserved.}

10 Apr 2026 22:14:04
Lots of away fans have cheered Slot this season. Unfortunately, they are at Anfield.

10 Apr 2026 22:29:43
Option number 2 - Slot, "I am feeling the pressure now more than ever, the fans are booing, leaving games early, they call me a bald fraud on social media. I've been pretty sure that I'm getting fired at the end of the season for months now, I have had numerous meetings with the higher ups, none of them have gone well, things are not looking good."

Do you think that's the sort of thing he should come out with? I'm genuinely keen to know.

11 Apr 2026 01:26:56
He doesn't deserve support either away from home or at home. He's played his hand and couldn't give 2fs about the supporters. It's clear and obvious for months. He's an egotist. Which is fine to an extent if you are winning all the time. Or some of the time. But certainly not none of the time. Anyway, the end is near, thanks be to God.
