18 May 2024 14:51:35
So I just want to say thanks to Jürgen, memories and rollercoasters that will live with us forever, you are a legend. Under klopp:
Fave goal: Origi CL Final.
Fave game : Barcelona 2nd leg amazing.
Best Signing: Virgil turned us into winning the big ones.
Best Klopp moment, Norwich away breaking his glasses.
Danke Jurgen.
18 May 2024 14:37:23
This is want Jurgen means to me.
When he joined Liverpool in October 2015 my partner was very poorly . But we would sit and watch Liverpool games together. It was a thing we did that gave her a little comfort . She would talk about this giant crazy German running all over the place on the touch line, she loved watching him and his reactions . A little over a year after I gained Jurgen as manager, I lost her as my partner . Shed died 07/ 10/ 2016 at the age of just 31 leavi g me and my then 7 year old boy. She never got to see all the triumph and trophies , she never got to see. corner taken quickly., well not from here, but she did from above.
All I can say dear Jurgen is thankyou. Thankyou and LFC for getting me and my boy, now 15, through the toughest time of our lives . Me and him would watch as trophies were lifted and look to the sky and smile. We truly never walked alone during these last 8 years since she went, as we had you and LFC . Tomorrow will be so hard for all LFC fans, but for me doubley so as it will be without her sat next to me. But I will be here at home with my boy watching the giant crazy German run up and down the touchline.
18 May 2024 14:52:14
I remember you mate, I believe if I remember correctly you live in Hessle? around the corner from me. A great post mate. I hope life is treating you very well.
18 May 2024 15:37:32
Not in Hessle Salah mate but West Hull . Im doing well my friend I hope you are too.
18 May 2024 10:00:08
Mo Salah and Darwin nunez have been modelling the new training kits and home kit for Liverpool which you'd expect pictures of at the club store and stadium which would indicate both are staying, no sign of luis Diaz so maybe he's the one moving on?
18 May 2024 10:34:26
I wouldn't mind him going if we replace him. He tries hard and works hard but he lacks the bits that really matter for his position.
Salah is Salah and next season is the crunch one for Nunez.
Of the other two, I like Jota as a cover player but he needs to be there most of all and I'm not sure about Gakpo yet. He underwhelms me but he probably deserves a chance under the new manager.
But they all for sale if the money is right 😂.
18 May 2024 10:54:39
@Risby, hang on a minute mate, we’ve got to sell all our defence first!
18 May 2024 11:18:04
I think Slotball will suit Diaz well.
He got a good tune out of his compatriot Sinisterra at Feyernood (before his move to Leeds) .
I think the wide players will be asked to do more and this will suit Diaz whereas it won’t suit Salah who has played more like a right forward for us under klopp.
Salah will either move centrally or be sold imo.
18 May 2024 12:34:16
In fairness to Gakpo,16 goals this year despite been far from a guaranteed starter. Think he'll get better.
18 May 2024 12:48:31
I think Diaz should be sold. But he’s not the only one. We need a champions league squad, it’s currently lacking quality and the likes of Jota, Konate, Jones etc these lads need moving on if they can’t stay fit, massive liabilities.
If Salah goes, we need goals.
18 May 2024 13:28:02
If Diaz leaves then i wouldn't buy an attacker . Gakpo should play there . over the last 2 months he seems to have found some rhythm. looks more aggressive n works hard . jota can play anywhere along the front n Danns can be used aswel.
18 May 2024 13:35:56
Simply reddd, Im not sure that's how cut and dry this is. Keep in mind that these kit photo shoots may have been done weeks or even months ago so not sure if this correlates with who is staying and who is going.
On a personal level, Darwin ain't going anywhere and Im not sure he is looking to leave that desperately either. Diaz and Salah rumours are there so we will see how things shake out.
Also, remember that with a new manager coming in and he may want to have a good look at these players and then decide and even then, not all the players you or I want to leave are going to leave in one summer cos at the end of the day, you still need a squad and players to fill it.
18 May 2024 14:06:29
This is Klopps squad so the new manager is bound to want to come in and put his stamp on it.
No doubt there will be casualties to the squad over the next 3-4 windows.
Truth is though that this current squad will be a far better group of players than Slot has ever worked with.
18 May 2024 14:53:11
I like the look of Danns but surely we need proven quality in the striking department?
18 May 2024 07:12:07
Jim the red
Yes all brilliant managers in their own right
But what did the Romans do for us.
18 May 2024 09:30:19
Have you taken your pills yet? If not, you should.
18 May 2024 13:36:32
Kennys, I have NO idea what you are on about?
18 May 2024 00:54:46
“Winning four Premier League titles in succession is incredible. Never been done before. Congratulations to Pep and the team.
“It reminds me of when I won my seven Tour de France victories. The similarities of dominance are endless. ”
- Lance Armstrong on 115radio.
18 May 2024 08:24:35
By hook or by crook 😏.
18 May 2024 08:45:59
The only similarities are their cheating behaviors.
Also, nothing guaranteed just yet Lance. Unless you know something that we don't.
18 May 2024 09:21:20
Lance Armstrong a. k. a Doper in Chief or DIC is just calling things as he sees them. Ironically, the Abu Dhabi Group that bought City in 2008 was also named DIC. Ironic, indeed.
18 May 2024 09:50:31
And City could be on for seven in a row had it not been for Jürgen Klopp and his bow and arrow.
18 May 2024 10:35:58
Whenever Pep looks angry, I do always wonder if it’s roid rage.
18 May 2024 11:29:43
JLC, I think it’s gone over your head mate 😂.
18 May 2024 12:20:34
There's some talk online of a fine of 350 million, which would get given and spread out amongst the EPL teams. LFC would presumably get around 17-18 million for the incovenience of losing 2 champions titles amongst other things. No mention of point deductions or title relinquishing.
Of course it's only online blabber, but it's a histerical joke anyway. So this is what you get when you cheat consistently for almost a decade.
{Ed002's Note - It is nonsense.}
18 May 2024 12:31:48
I imagined it was, Ed002. Thanks for clarifying.
18 May 2024 13:41:26
Nah, come on ArAy1969. You had to know that was a nothing burger, right? I also read online that there could be an out of court settlement btw both City and the PL. Now that one, took the biscuit for me. What a crock of crap!
At the end of the day, the hearing will happen and City will have their day in court and their chance to provide the evidence they have been telling us all these years that they, that will exonerate them of ALL charges. At that point, it will come down to the evidence and the facts hence, posturing and making boombastic statements in the public sphere will be over.
18 May 2024 15:24:05
The moment I read "nothing burger" Oli, I immediately thought of the old "where's the meat" ads. 😂.

Haven't posted on here for yonks
even though I check the rumours, banter and sightings twice a day, BRILLIANT
Absolutely worship klopp, obviously and so sad to see him go
WHAT A BRILLIANT HUMAN BEING and the only one we could ever compare to the great bill Shankly
Although the jurgen said to me yeno is a great song, even if we did get told off for singing it, i feel we should pay him the utmost? respect and acolade and sing jurgen jurgen jurgen jurgen to the tune of amazing grace as we do with Shankly
Imagine the last home game and four ends of the ground all singing this and shedding tears of course, what an emotional day that will be
Just a thought.
Kennysfrom heaven.
17 May 2024 23:00:39
The only one to compare to shanks, what about Paisley and Kenny?
18 May 2024 03:02:37
Kenny's selfless leadership in the wake of Hillsborough puts him right up there for me, regardless of the football. Ultimately, it appeared to break him in the end, such a shame. Glad he is rightly still adored by the club and the city.
My first girlfriend used to babysit Kenny's kids and so I met him a couple of times. Scared the crap out of me when he walked in and I'm knecking a young Sharon on his couch.
18 May 2024 09:32:18
Let's not choose our favourite child. Klopp deserves to be in the same breath as:
Shanks
Paisley
Kenny
Houllier
Benitez.
18 May 2024 13:37:51
How about Fagan?
Up the pool.
18 May 2024 13:43:53
I agree, Zed. All these "children" made their mark on the club. Some in a big way, a transformative way, and in their way. Either way, they contributed to our glorious history.
And those who couldn't well at least, they had the guts to give it a go even if it didn't work out as we all would have wanted. Just my piece.
18 May 2024 14:52:27
Burkeyboy
To be honest I would have dumped Sharon and kissed the King instead 😘.
17 May 2024 16:59:53
Not sure if it’s been asked already. Looking for opinions on this season? I’m Torn between the Feeling it’s been an absolute anticlimax or it’s been a decent season with a trophy and coming 3rd in the league is a true representation of where we’re at as a squad. Or has klopp set such high standards that 3rd and a trophy leaves a feeling of under achieving?! Heads a mess!
17 May 2024 17:36:28
Big anticlimax.
17 May 2024 17:40:36
All of the above.
17 May 2024 18:22:35
My feeling is that it's slightly disappointing at the most, but hardly an absolute anticlimax. We were still in it with 5-6 games remaining, but I think we just happened to have our anual dip in form at the wrong time. After last year's performance and the fact that we kept chalking up the points while playing very well at times and very poorly at other times this season, I will admit I had hopes that we could cross the line first. But fine it didn't happen and that's football. After all, we still won a Cup (the Mickey Mouse one as some call it on here) and Klopp righted the ship from what was definitely a disastrous year last year. And he's leaving behind a rejuvenated squad with plenty of youngsters eager to prove themselves, so I have hope under the new manager.
17 May 2024 20:22:47
A good season, much better than last, but nothing more than good.
17 May 2024 21:54:37
The Europa Cup was there for us to win. Getting turned over by Atlanta was sickening but what can you do🤷♂️. It hasn’t been a bad season but wasn’t great either.
17 May 2024 22:23:59
Overall Arsenal and City have been better than us
Yes i am disappointed we had a opportunity to win more in Klopps final season however we are giving our new manager Champions league football and a solid foundation.
17 May 2024 23:13:23
This is the type of season everyone predicted we could have based on the rebuild so we have essentially, met expectations, IMO. Could we have done better? Obviously yes BUT at the end of the day, many of us did not think we could challenge for the title let alone win it going in and based on the way the season played out, we were right. On to a new era set to begin with Arne Slot next season.
17 May 2024 23:18:39
Missed opportunity and I don’t think we’ve played well as a team.
Bradley was an exciting high point and Danns and Koumas were great in their cameos.
18 May 2024 00:12:33
A poor season. Underperformed.
18 May 2024 07:29:21
I am a glass half full guy…. I think it has been a good season. The biggest disappointment for me was us not making Europa league final, we (alongside leverkusen) were the best team and lost our heads in that first Atalanta game.
I think to win the league with all the changes to the team, injuries and performance/ slump of last season was alway going to be a step too far.
Overall, I would give the season 7/ 10! The league cup final was a memorable game fitting for Klopps final season.
Bradley and quansah really impress me and actually I really enjoy Gomez as the inverted left back as I think it helps to give us control.
Excited to see how Slot approaches his tactics.
18 May 2024 07:51:50
LTO I really don’t believe you had us down at the start of the season winning the league. Just don’t believe it with the midfield rebuild we had, the only thing we’ve fallen short of is winning europa league we should have won that with the level of players we have.
{Ed001's Note - if anyone had said at the start of the season we would finish 3rd, win the League Cup and get so far in the Europa, I think 99% of us would have been delighted. It is just that the way the season transpired, the only reason we fell away from the title and failed to reach the FA Cup and Europa League final is down to our own failings, that makes it feel so bad. What makes it worse is that Klopp is partly to blame for us not still being in for the quadruple, when we are all so thankful for what he has brought to us. But the good thing is that now nothing can take away from Anfield giving Klopp the send off he deserves, as the game is a dead rubber for us. So we can just enjoy a giant farewell party and I have no doubt that we will all be in floods of tears saying goodbye to a true great of the club. One of very few men that truly deserve to be called a legend.}
18 May 2024 08:28:31
The rebuild excuse doesn’t wash with me. I would guess City and Arsenal purchased as many first team players last Summer as we did, don’t hear them making the same excuse.
18 May 2024 09:26:12
LTO123, Underperformed, based on what? Did you have us challenging for the title at the start of the season where we didn't even have a DM and many were losing their ship when the Caicedo deal collapsed?
If the answer is no then, you cannot come on here and say we underperformed IF you yourself didn't think we would perform anyway. Sorry, that dog ain't going to hunt. Talk about having it all your own way. Give over, man.
18 May 2024 09:27:04
Yes but we'd been miles away from Ars/ Man City the season before Irish, we've closed that gap considerably. Im with Ed in that if you had offerd me 3rd and a trophy i would have jumped on it. I would have bit your hand off for 4th.
18 May 2024 09:45:10
@IR, that's cos both teams are way further ahead in their development than we were going into this season so comparing us with them is already dishonest hece, flawed from the off. I know, shocking.
Also, did you think we could challenge for the title going into the season? If the answer is no (which it is cos nobody on this forum (including you) said so at the time) then, don't start with the "excuses" nonsense cos even YOU believed we would not challenge for the title, let alone win it. Meaning? Even you believed we were in a rebuild at the time and no amount of hindsight or "whatever washes with you, me or whoever" will change that.
Oh and guess what? We will STILL be in a rebuild next season with Slot as well, and both City and Arsenal will STILL be ahead of us in their development going in. I propose you get used to that very quickly, as well. No excuses here, sunny. Just facts.
18 May 2024 10:11:21
It's been a good season; maybe even a very good one.
We were behind City and Arsenal in terms of quality last season and we have significantly narrowed that gap. When you consider that we lost three experienced midfielders and had to replace them adds to it, too.
I didn't expect us to challenge for the title this season so it's not been a big disappointment. Don't get me wrong, I was annoyed with those few weeks when everything went to pot but if you look at the season overall it's been a good one.
18 May 2024 09:35:31
Totally with Ed001 here.
Start of season to end of season - it was brilliant (i. e. if you'd said at the start of the season, given we finished 5th last time etc) .
However, in the last 3 months there have been massive highs and lows.
On balance a season that is a bare minimum for our club, but it could have been so much more and it was in our hands.
Glass is neither half full or half empty.
The glass is just half.
18 May 2024 11:00:09
@Ed01 - absolutely 100% spot on with your comments. Great summary of the season and the status of Klopp in the history of the club. He has the same aura of man management about him that Shanks had - there’s no higher praise.
18 May 2024 11:34:58
The main disappointment for me is the Europa League. We should’ve at least made the final the minute Leverkusen were put on the other side of the draw. Every other team in the competition was a team we should be beating comfortably.
FA Cup and Prem were never givens as we’d have had to have seen off City in both and they’re bordering on untouchable right now. We should’ve got to the final in FA cup as well though (as United and Coventry were the teams in our way) and really we should’ve taken the league to the final day from the position we were in going into the home game against Palace.
It’s a shame but if you remove all context, on the face of it, we’ve had a decent season and won a trophy. Let’s just enjoy the last game with Klopp rather than fret about what could’ve been.
18 May 2024 13:27:18
Regardless of what anyone said or expectations were in Aug 2023 it has zero bearing on the fact that with 7 league games to go we were joint top of the league.
The squad did well and could say over achieved to get us into that position but losing to Palace and Everton and drawing with Utd, West Ham and Villa over the next 6 fixtures has absolutely nothing to do with rebuilds or expectations 10 moths ago.
We went out of 3 tournaments in a matter of weeks. If that was anyone else we would say they bottled it.
Overall 3rd and league cup is a good season but we could have and should have had a better one considering where we were 5-6 weeks ago.
With a new manager coming in next season 3rd and a trophy might be as good as it gets for the foreseeable.
18 May 2024 13:50:14
MKS, I can agree with you and others on the EL topic. That was really bad. it hurt the way we went out esp. in that first half where Klopp put out the lineup signalling to the oppo. (a very good one at that) that like, "Yeah, we ain't ready, bro". It was what it was and I can understand the frustration cos I was and still am with the way we didn't address our issues (as Ed01 sid, that's on Klopp and the staff) to give us a better chance to finish with more trophies.
Like you and all that being said, I would not trade a damn thing for any of the days Kloppo was our manager. Nothing at all.
"Celebration Time, Come on! "
Hopefully, Cool And The Gang will be at Anfield tmrw, lol.
18 May 2024 14:57:11
Oli
Getting his excuses already for next season. Rebuild still in process.
Please point me in the direction where I said we were in a rebuild? Embarrassing.
