How are we 5th!?
21 Apr 2026 10:34:27
Not sure, but I think we may have collected more points than 15 other teams since Carrick was appointed.
21 Apr 2026 10:44:49
Lol Fornax.
21 Apr 2026 10:55:03
West Ham are 6th.
It's a pretty meaningless stat until it includes at least 38 games.
21 Apr 2026 11:00:47
It does show you that nobody is in sparkling form at this point in the season though. If we were to win our extra game over them, we'd have taken the same amount of points as Arsenal and only one less than Bournemouth who are on a 13 match unbeaten run.
Not claiming we're doing well btw, just shows the toll of the season on every team, apart from Man Utd who only started their season when Carrick took over!
21 Apr 2026 11:16:54
Just shows changing the manager at the right time can make a big difference. Well, apart from Spurs of course haha.
21 Apr 2026 09:34:56
Morning folks,
I understand it has been done to death but question to Ed's, Carra, Robbo or Fields.
If Arne and LFC have agreed to part ways in the Summer why is the "Slot to see out his contract" narrative from Ornstein and co being but out there? It seems adamant! Has something changed?
21 Apr 2026 09:54:27
Questions have been asked about the manager's future due to poor results. The club and the journos close to it are going to spin a positive attitude. They are hardly going to say we are parting ways and name the manager.
Just wait until May. If he's still in the job, then we as fans must suck it up and have fingers crossed. Main thing is getting Champions League secured.
21 Apr 2026 09:55:18
Without wanting to disrespect either of those guys, as they have provided excellent information, I am becoming increasingly convinced that Slot will be here next season.
There were heavy leaks in the summer. Isak was called on this site before anywhere else, but I personally believe those leaks have been plugged.
Either that, or Slot is the best actor of all time. He is not speaking or behaving like a man who has been told he is out of a job in a month.
Just my opinion, would be happy to be wrong at this point as I am bored to death of the football at the moment.
21 Apr 2026 10:04:14
Any manager trying to instill their ideas and philosophy into any club when those players know he's into the last 12 months of his contract is facing an uphill battle.
If Slot does stay, then surely putting him in that position is just asking for trouble.
There again, Palace and Bournemouth aren't doing too badly, and their players know their manager is off.
Only difference is, I suppose, that those teams' players seem to play for their manager, whereas ours look like they can't be bothered most weeks since October.
21 Apr 2026 10:22:37
The priority for the remainder of the season for the club is Champions League qualification.
Until that is hopefully achieved, a united front is going to be portrayed to the media.
They're not going to have anything coming out from the club in any official capacity to state that the manager's job is to be reviewed or that a replacement is lined up.
I do believe Carra in saying that there will be a parting of the ways come the summer, and it could be very much a case of a mutually agreeable end to Slot's time at Anfield.
Until then, please stop reacting to every bit of "leaked" info from Journos as most don't know or are being told what to say.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Everton v Liverpool - A Quick Liverpool Perspective
21 Apr 2026 08:05:16
Hard reading unfortunately. What a mess. Thanks ED01.
{Ed001's Note - but at least we don't have to worry about the Bluenoses giving us grief for a while!}
21 Apr 2026 09:32:17
Great review 01. Thanks, as always.
{Ed001's Note - thank you so much del!}
21 Apr 2026 09:31:32
Ed01, the way you described the LFC performance, anyone who didn't watch the game did not miss a damn thing. Your description is enuff because it is what we have all been seeing for the whole season, roughly.
To that point, I was watching an LFC-related podcast and one of the guys was having a go at Wirtz for, "Not grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck" and all that jazz. The other guy response was that, "As a team, We are good at nothing".
So I ask you (cos I agree with the guy's response), what do you we have been good at this season under Slot's tactics? because I can't tell ya, mate.
{Ed001's Note - we have been good at slowly rolling the ball across the backline.}
21 Apr 2026 05:51:18
A lot of back and forth on socials.
Just wanted to say nice one to Ed025. Becoming quite rare to have someone like you to interact with reds lad. A good example to all and good humour with it.
Just wanted to say nice one lad.
{Ed025's Note - cheers mate..appreciated..
21 Apr 2026 09:25:10
Absolutely concur. Inspired me to jog to Hill Dickinson when I flew over for the first derby of the season. Kept my kit covered, of course.
Lovely stadium, great location. Good luck for the rest of the season, 25.
{Ed025's Note - cheers Delvecs...you too mate..
21 Apr 2026 04:31:23
Liverpool are exploring potential deals for Yan Diomande, Archie Gray, Adam Wharton, Bradley Barcola, and Denzel Dumfries according to various outlets.
I really hope all apart from Dumfries happen. Some young exciting players, to add some dynamism to our play.
Dumfries is a decent player, but is 30 yrs and has had injury issues recently.
We would be better pursuing someone like Kayode or Mukiele.
The thought of Diomande on the right and Barcola on the left would be something to get excited about next season.
Would like to see Endo replaced with a decent DM too.
Carra or any of the ITKs, is there any formal talks or contact with these players' agents already in progress?
21 Apr 2026 07:02:08
Sadiki should be in the conversation instead of Dumfries.
Sadly, I had dinner with a famous football writer recently, and he's convinced me that Slot will see out his contract, come what may, so I doubt any DM will be coming.
21 Apr 2026 08:19:43
I can't see why Barcola would leave PSG. He gets good minutes there, he's a French player winning trophies in France every season, and also PSG would probably want well over £100m for him as he's 23 years old with 2 years still on his contract. I think it's pure fantasy linking us to the likes of Barcola and Olise. They're both settled at clubs where they are guaranteed success and gametime.
Excellent players, mind you, I just don't see it happening. Diomande (Leipzig), B. Toure (Hoffenheim), Minteh (Brighton), M.
Mane (Wolves) etc all feel like much more plausible signings. Also they're all the kinds of mid-range signings we've historically done very well with (S. Mane, Salah, Firmino, Jota, Diaz, Torres, Suarez etc). We don't tend to shop well at the other European super powers (J. Cole, Morientes, Thiago, Litmanen etc). The two exceptions in semi-recent memory were probably Sturridge and Coutinho, but they were low risk and not getting a look in at Chelsea/Inter so we got them cheap.
21 Apr 2026 08:45:21
Barcola is stalling on signing a contract, MK, he doesn't start regularly and it's rumoured that PSG are looking at Diomande to replace him anyway.
21 Apr 2026 09:27:41
PB, he may be stalling, but he still has two years left so he won't come cheap either way. We see this a lot where players posture and stall. It's all part of negotiations. He's also started for PSG in 57% of their Ligue 1 games and 86% of their Champions League games. So I wouldn't say he doesn't start regularly. He's started 30 games for them this season in all competitions. It's not like the Gravenberch at Bayern situation where he was actually only playing a few hundred minutes a season.
Barcola is still a key player for them. They just rotate their starting frontline in the Ligue 1 to keep them fresh for the Champions League.
Like I say, great player, would love him at Liverpool and hopefully the relationship he has at PSG really is deteriorating so we have a show at signing him, but I'll believe it when I see it.
21 Apr 2026 09:39:25
Nah, not Mane for me, MKS. He reminds me of Baj when he was doing well in a dead LFC team and was getting good reviews (and rightfully so). When stuff got tough, he faded. Don't be fooled, my friend. These "midrange" signings aren't the players we need.
The comparison with getting such players (10 years ago) no longer applies here, and, to crown it all, those players then were levels above the ones you are mentioning now.
Mane was levels above Minteh, Mane (Wolves) and Barcola at the time we signed him, for ex. While Gray was nowhere near Gini nor Shaquiri either when we signed them. We need a lot better than these, IMO.
Just my opinion.
20 Apr 2026 22:40:41
With Wolves officially gone, I can think of one or two players I wouldn't mind getting my hands on if going cheap. Would be interested to know others' thoughts?
20 Apr 2026 23:07:57
Only at the right price. I wasn't even that impressed with Gomes and Andre in the last few games I watched. They looked like they gave up.
I mean, going down was inevitable, but still.
I wouldn't pay huge amounts for them. I'd be interested in Gomes around 30-35 mill as I think he has just given up recently, and there's a good player there.
If 50 mill plus, as has been mooted, is too high for me.
Mane has potential, but the price again would need to reflect potential and not what he could become.
I think they will end up too expensive for what they are worth at this moment in time. Gomes is the pick of the bunch if price is reasonable.
21 Apr 2026 09:18:30
Is that Mane any good? He looked young and raw against us, but I could potential.
21 Apr 2026 09:40:10
The midfielder Gomez is the only one I would take. Mane? Sorry, he ain't the one for what we are trying to do next season potentially.
20 Apr 2026 20:14:35
Hi guys and Ed's I was just wondering why everywhere I look on social media people say Kevin be bruyne is the best midfielder to grace the prem what do you think?
I think he's one of the most overrated of all time a top player no doubt but he's not even top ten for me I just don't get why people rate him so highly? So many better players for me vieira Keane scholes Gerrard Essien makelele I honestly could list a load more or am I missing something and he's the Premier League goat?
{Ed025's Note - hes right up there for me QOSR..
20 Apr 2026 20:37:23
I think Roy Keane said he was cus he didn't want to say it was Gerrard, and people are latching on to that, but, if fairness, he's very very close! He's right up their.
20 Apr 2026 21:06:12
Must just be me. I thought he had a good period at City for what, like 7/8 years? But he was in an expensively assembled squad with the best players in the world, the likes of Gerrards, Scholes never flopped when they were younger, and longevity wise blitz him.
Pretty sure Gerrard was hitting 20+ goals for a few seasons. I also think David Silva was better, as was Yaya Toure, but wasn’t around as long, but like I said maybe I’m wrong.
{Ed025's Note - Silva was a great player as well, both miles and miles above Gerrard for me, but thats just an opinion of course..
20 Apr 2026 21:12:18
Watching KDB in his prime live was an experience.
First time I watched him, I watched very closely, and you take your eye off him for a few seconds, and all of a sudden he just pops up in space where there was no space to receive the ball.
He was not quick, but it was like he was teleporting around the pitch with how he was reading the game, because he just seemed a few steps ahead.
Stevie G, on the other hand, looked like he would run through a brick wall to win.
Guy was a born winner.
20 Apr 2026 21:07:34
And I know you said right up there Ed but number 1? Loads of people seem to think it's not even a debate
{Ed025's Note - its just how you see things QOSR, you have battlers and you have ballers...im a ballers guy myself and love to see flair so the likes of Scholes, Lampard and miserable arse are down the list for me mate..
20 Apr 2026 21:52:16
A Premier League great, should have a winners medal, or 2, to be even a part of the conversation.
{Ed025's Note - i dont think it was all his fault he never Ritchie, he played in some very poor sides at times mate..
20 Apr 2026 21:56:43
KDB was a great midfielder, but give me Keane, Gerrard or Vieira any day of the week.
{Ed025's Note - there should maybe be 2 categories Ecogsi, one for grafters and one for ballers...you are obviously a grafter guy mate..
20 Apr 2026 21:57:15
There have been so many, and there's a lot of recency bias.
It's hard to judge because of the various criteria, longevity, durability, pure skill, goals scored.
If you're asking about "baller" quality, then I don't think you'll find many with the skill level of Paul Gascoigne.
{Ed025's Note - he certainly makes the list Ron..
20 Apr 2026 22:03:37
Ed025, Gerrard was a baller and a battler, you need to take your bright blue national health specs off, you don't like Gerrard because of things you've supposedly heard about him, he was a supreme athlete and footballer, be worth about 150 mill plus in todays market
{Ed025's Note - i dont like him only because he is a tosser Strom, but taking personality out of it he was a grafter who excelled in mainly poor sides, scored quite a few goals as well so is right up there in the grafter category mate..
20 Apr 2026 23:58:15
Gerrard and KDB were unique players with more individual star quality than any other midfielder to have played in the PL. I think Gerrard was better, but KDB isn't far off.
The Yaya Toure shout is wild - he was nowhere near the level of those two. He could score a hat-trick yet somehow be outplayed by Joe Allen in the same game.
21 Apr 2026 00:38:45
Yaya Toure was an absolute beast. He's a bit of a p****, but can't fault his footballing ability. He can do everything and is one of the most complete midfielders I've seen.
But in all honesty, we have been blessed to witness some really great midfielders in the PL.
We have not even discussed players like Alonso, Essien, Ballack, Mash, Carrick, Fabregas, etc. Maybe not the best midfielders, but all truly good players in their own right.
{Ed025's Note - Ngolo Kante?..
21 Apr 2026 00:45:12
Yaya Toure was ridiculous that season, he hit around the twenty mark, but KDB does him on longevity in terms of pure talent. Yaya was insane, go watch some of his goals.
21 Apr 2026 02:45:37
KDB is a top top player, but calling him number 1 is a bit much in my book, and likely an opinion only shared amongst those who spend most of their time on Snapchat. Where exactly he ranks depends on what you're looking for, I suppose. If you want a leader who can really command a game, you take Keane or Souness, a physically dominant box to box midfielder; Viera or Toure, a creative passer, you take Scholes or KDB, high goal output, Lampard or Dalglish, but if you want all of the above, you take Gerrard.
😉
Have to say I'm very partial to a bit of Matt Le Tissier though.
21 Apr 2026 04:09:45
Chewy, Souness wasn't factored into my opinion as I only mentioned PL. If it's all-time, that is a much bigger debate.
Keane, Vieira, Scholes, Lampard, etc., were all outstanding players, but imo Gerrard and KDB were a lot better.
Matt Le Tissier was excellent, but his lack of real honours rules him out entirely, even though he had plenty of opportunities to move to bigger clubs.
Yaya Toure was a can-crusher. He could easily overpower lesser midfields, and had great technique on the ball, but against equally capable midfields, he was a liability. He showed some defensive ability at Barca, but even then his ability on the ball at CB and DM was far more important to their team.
20 Apr 2026 23:13:58
Ed025, Gerrard is one of the best players ever at Liverpool, a team that's has won the league 20 times the European cup 6 times, imagine the talented players who have played for us over tg3 years n Gerrard is in the everybody's top 5, Madrid, Chelsea (when they had mourinho ) even whiskey nose wanted him at united and yet you don't think he is top drawer.we are never ever going to agree on this one
{Ed025's Note - im not saying he was not a good player Strom..he obviously was, he stood out in a team that was not as good as him and thats why he never won a league title and never really did it at international level, he carried Liverpool for a number of years and i get the adulation i really do mate, maybe its because im a blue but ihe just not one of my favourite players..
21 Apr 2026 07:32:02
Can't believe I forgot about Kante Ed. He's right up there for me as well. A bit less attacking than Toure but he has a much better attitude and personality and works twice as hard. I still think Toure is more skillful but I'd rather have Kante in my team.
Makes me think of all those midfielders who are good but are from "smaller" clubs too. Players like Dembele, Modric, and Cahill who won't be in the conversation just because they didn't play for a "big club"
{Ed025's Note - Kante was an excellent player Drac and one of the best i have seen mate..
21 Apr 2026 08:10:29
We could do with a Kante now! And a KDB, and a SG... and a JK to fix this mess.
21 Apr 2026 09:48:02
Jimjim, funny you mentioned that cos even Rio (Ferdinand) said that KDB is nowhere near Gerrard on KDB's best day. Just saying.
As for KDB being the best all-time midfielder in the PL history, that's not a thing, I'm sorry. Gerrard, Viera, Kante, Keane, Silva, Yaya, Lampard, Scholes, Alonso (me, personally)? Nah, not for me and I'm a KDB fanboy, btw.
And the biggest complement I can play to SG is that none of those mids I mentioned could ever achieve what SG did, individually and collectively, had any of them played in the LFC teams SG played in.
Proof? Paul Scholes admitted that openly and still does.
21 Apr 2026 10:29:08
Would KDB or Silva have been able to handle the Prem in the 90s and early 2000s with Gerrard, Kean, Scholes, Viera. I don't think so. I don't think they would have been protected by the way refereeing has gone in today's football.
21 Apr 2026 10:57:26
Don't forget about Paolo Wanchope and Juninho. 😁
21 Apr 2026 11:04:22
Mascherano was so good, it's a shame we couldn't keep hold of him.
A defensive midfielder who was rock solid, so much so, he became a centre back.
West Ham got Tevez and Mash over to the Prem on the dodgiest deal ever lol.
21 Apr 2026 09:40:53
Ed025, Gerrard couldn't help that our team wasn't good enough but he definitely was, if he went to Madrid etc n won multiple leagues n euro cups would that make him a better player or just a player who won more, look at all these poor players who have won titles in United, Chelsea n even Madrid eras
{Ed025's Note - he wanted a move Strom, unfortunately forces outside of the football club forced him to stay mate, maybe if he had moved and won a lot more it may have elevated his profile...but who knows?..
20 Apr 2026 19:28:54
Ed025
Woodman outshone your favourite keeper yesterday, I thought he did great considering the occasion.
Your prediction of the Reds winning one and losing one was bang on last week, hope you got some money on it at the bookies
{Ed025's Note - one of our lads had 2-1 to the reds and VVD last goal at 180/1 Hughesy, we got £905 back for a fiver and shared it 4 ways...£225 each mate, Woodman had nothing to do really bar nearly messing up with Virgil but we were very passive and never tested him..
20 Apr 2026 20:26:13
I would be disappointed in everton ed25 if I was an Everton supporter. Liverpool where there for the taking, bar 1st 25mins when Everton looked sharp going forward and should've been ahead I never really felt Everton going to score. When Everton did score and double whammy for lfc losing keeper which put us onto 3rd choice I thought they would kick on and steamroller us but never materlised.
A bit of huff and puff but nothing really worth talking about. Both teams poor I thought but glad from lfc point of view we didn't fold.
What was your opinion on game?
{Ed025's Note - pretty similar actually Digger, both teams were a bit passive and basically our midfield never showed up mate, Garner and KDH never really showed up for us and McNeil was a waste of space, i thought Beto did well but when he was replaced by Barry it was the end of any scoring for us...he is the worst player i think i have ever seen, the reds were decent i thought and Gravy was better than recently and so was Mo, i thought a draw would have been a fair result but thats just the way the cookie crumbles i suppose my old mate..
20 Apr 2026 21:45:27
Every team needs a Barry Ed025 😁
{Ed025's Note - one would hope not Barry...especially if he is your centre forward mate.. :)
20 Apr 2026 21:49:34
Barry's ability is quite a shout ed025 considering some of the tat you've had at Everton in recent years!
{Ed025's Note - your right Avit, but this fella is about as bad as it gets mate, he has nothing...couldn,t trap a bag of cement, lazy, awkward, no positional sense and as weak as a kitten,he makes Neil Maupay look like Messi..
20 Apr 2026 23:20:47
Yous have managed to unearth some real stinkers over the years. Kone but not forgotten.
{Ed025's Note - haven,t we just Flidby, im convinced our scouts just look at clips on you tube and dont actually watch these players mate, i know all teams make mistakes with players but my god we are certainly top of that league..
