Edd001 what did you make of Robin van persie as a striker when he was fit and firing. If he hadn't had the injury problems he do you think he could have been one of the greats of the game? I thought he was amazing when he was firing, his technique was outrageous.

{Ed001's Note - fantastic player, just sadly plagued with injury. One hell of a player, who could score goals from all over. Yes, he probably would have been an all-time great with out the injuries. Almost certainly in fact.}

11 Sep 2024 13:16:20
Edd001 that left foot was unbelievable. It's such a shame what injuries do to really special players.

11 Sep 2024 20:24:34
Edd001 would you have considered him better than Henry if he'd still continously fit?

{Ed001's Note - god no. Henry was arguably the best ever in the Prem.}

11 Sep 2024 23:04:36
Best ever in the prem before Salah.

Arne slot looks humble but i got feeling he is a bit of hurry to show off. The way he decide to reveal all his genius tactics on live TV is horrible! Why do you give away the secret to beating your opponents? Next time manU will come with a variation to counter us. Silly slot.

11 Sep 2024 09:03:43
Presumably he will change tactics, hopeful teams will have set up to play to combat our previous tactics.
Even if we play the same we should have the players and system to beat teams like utd.

11 Sep 2024 09:47:32
Mind games mate, he's not a daft fella.

11 Sep 2024 15:49:18
How do you"look"humble?

11 Sep 2024 20:48:26
He fooled you then Leek.

12 Sep 2024 00:38:37
I didn’t think he said much about his tactics against Utd. He mentioned a couple of things we tried to exploit but it was obvious stuff really.

Even Carra picked out the same things, you don’t have to be a genius to see their fullbacks go high early and you can get in behind them.

He was asked a question and he gave a very basic answer.

10 Sep 2024 17:36:23
Thoughts on Jones chances of playing much under Slot?

10 Sep 2024 20:08:15
If he stays fit will get loads of games imo.

11 Sep 2024 01:15:12
I think so as well, digger. Him, Elliot, Bradley they'll all get their chances, lots of games are coming our way we can't keep playing the same 11. I think throughout the season we'll see quite a lot of rotation.

11 Sep 2024 09:06:30
I see him getting sub appearances in the league and starts against smaller teams in the cup matches.
To be fair for me that's the most he should expect.
I think he will be gone in the summer playing in the championship or lower premier league team.

11 Sep 2024 10:42:57
Elliot out until end of Oct with fractured foot.

10 Sep 2024 14:36:54
Am not sure what all the fuss about Kellegher is about. Surely it's obvious, Allison is going to leave next year and Kellegher assumed he would be the No 1 in his place however the club needed a back up but they were able to get a better deal by loaning the new keeper back to his existing club. Kellegher is now worried he won't be No1 after all and wants to leave.

10 Sep 2024 17:58:21
It’s Kelleher unless you’re talking about a player I’ve unheard of.

11 Sep 2024 01:17:51
Lol why do people think Alisson is leaving next year? am I missing something or what?

And who the fk is Kellegher?

11 Sep 2024 06:38:18
I don't think kelleher assumed he was going to replace Ali. He literally said a couple months ago that he wanted to be playing and basically saying he knew he'd have to move to be able to do that.

11 Sep 2024 14:59:37
Spell checkers out in force, embarrassing tbh.

Just been reading about Sadio Mane's wedding .



The hibiscus flower water was flowing in the Mané household last week as Sadio's 18-year-old wife graduated from high school.

Aisha Tamba got herself a distinction, which must feel particularly rewarding for the former Liverpool forward, who's been paying for her school fees.

Not sure Aisha will be heading off to Malia to guzzle buckets of lurid cocktails with the girls though - when they got married in January, one of Sadio's pals told the press: "He is a pious man and wanted a pious woman".



He also revealed that the couple had met in 2020, when Aisha would have been 14, and praised his friend's religious character:



When he was at Liverpool, he never behaved like the other players by going to nightclubs, drinking alcohol and chasing women.



To be fair, nightclubs would've been a waste of time - they're strictly 18+.



How does this still happen?

10 Sep 2024 12:37:22

What’s this got to do with Liverpool?

10 Sep 2024 12:57:45

Richard Hughes probably arranged the wedding and Mane's wife will make her debut for Bournemouth at the weekend.

11 Sep 2024 20:49:45
Don’t know how true this is but it’s vile.

10 Sep 2024 08:52:03
Ed. You mentioned that Ali has never settled here. Has he explicitly said that in interviews (or his missus) or is this implied? He has said he'd be here for several more years - wouldn't want to force him, like.

{Ed002's Note - Which Ed?}

07 Sep 2024 22:17:57
We need to get the best out of this team. We have the quality, we have the depth and we have a ruthless coach who has no loyalty to a particular set of players. I even think he has no loyalty to a particular tactic or game plan. And that makes him unpredictable at least for this season. I just want to see the team B selection and tactic.

08 Sep 2024 21:14:57
I believe you might be correct. Mr Slot has the potential to be very successful.
The other managers/ coaches are going to be working hard to out smart him. Fingers crossed he's able to outsmart them all and get us victories.

09 Sep 2024 19:14:56
Too early but if we win our first 5 league games then I might join you ?.

{Ed014's Note - well your next 6 are a cake walk so who knows.

To be fair could you have had an easier first run of fixtures?

10 Sep 2024 09:16:11
That’s a ridiculous comment Ed14. Yes we could very much have had an easier run of fixtures.

Ipswich away on the first day was always a potential banana skin given how much it meant to them and their fans and us with a new manager and most of the team only being back a few weeks.

Brentford at home we’d always expect to win but Utd away? Easy?

It might have turned out that way but Utd away is always a game we can lose regardless of form.

It could’ve been more difficult sure, but it also could’ve been a lot easier.

{Ed014's Note - you disagreeing with it is ridiculous, United are utter shite and you know it and it may have been a potential banana skin but it was a stroll against Ipswich.

You must think your garbage if you think that’s remotely tough!

How much easier, seriously, playing some championship or league one teams perhaps?

Stop making stuff up to suggest you’ve got a tough start! ?‍♂️?

10 Sep 2024 11:23:54
According to the Premier League's FDR (Fixture Difficulty Rating) only Everton and Forest have an easier first 10 games of the season. Out of 5 the average difficulty of our fixtures is 2.6 (Everton and Forest are both 2.5) with 6 games being ranked easy-ish (2/ 5) (Ipswich (A), Brentford (H), Forest (H), Bournemouth (H), Wolves (A) and Brighton (H) ) 3 games being ranked average (3/ 5) (Man U (A), Palace (A) and Chelsea (H) ) and 1 being ranked hard (5/ 5) (Arsenal (A) ) .

For comparison the other 'big 6' are:
City - 2.7
Arsenal - 3.1
Spurs - 2.8
Chelsea - 2.8
Man U - 2.7

For completeness of potential CL teams:
Villa - 2.7
Newcastle - 3.1

So statistically yes we have an easy start but only slightly easier than City, Man U, and Villa and more difficult than Everton and Forest. Last season I would have expected 8 wins from our first 10 fixtures. This season I would have given Slot a little bit of grace but it will be interesting to assess the results 10 games in.

10 Sep 2024 13:10:57
That’s exactly it though Ed. It could’ve been a tricky game against Ipswich but it was a stroll because we played well and won the game. That does not mean it was easy.

Utd away is never easy for Liverpool especially yet again we made it look easy because we played very well and won the game.

Stop making stuff up to try to deflect from the fact that we’ve played very well in some tricky fixtures and had a really promising start.

I’d say Brighton at home is a much easier fixture than Utd away but your lot somehow contrived to get an undeserved point. What does that say about Arsenal? I bet you’ll blame the ref ?.

Thanks for the info Shipley but I don’t look at things like FDR because we all know football doesn’t work that way. Any team can beat any team on their day.

{Ed014's Note - I’m not making stuff up, it’s you pecker!

Like undeserved point! ??

Why would I be bothered that you have 9 points on the board, get a grip pecker!

Don’t constantly try and be a smart arse then you won’t look such a tit. ?‍♂️?

10 Sep 2024 15:48:16
If it makes you feel any better Pecker our next 6 games that Ed14 referred to includes Arsenal away so his comments are far more critical of Arsenal than us.

Nobody is disputing that we are playing well but we would have expected wins against all 3. Yes 2 were potential banana skins in which we could easily have dropped points (and probably would have in recent seasons) but the fact is we were expected to win them. I'm excited by the performances and I hope we can build on them (which I think we will) .

10 Sep 2024 18:54:26
The only game we were ‘expected to win’ was Brentford at home. That’s just because as a top team you should always be expected to win your home games.

Arsenal either didn’t get that memo or aren’t a top team. I’ll let you ponder on which it is Ed.

Everything I’ve said is balanced Ed. Our start could’ve been harder but it also could’ve been a lot easier.

It’s you that said you couldn’t get an easier run than 2 away games including a 12.30 kick off against a newly promoted team on opening day and against your biggest rivals! If that’s not making stuff up I don’t know what is! ??‍♂️?

It’s funny how Arsenal finish 2nd twice and all the Arsenal fans pipe up like they are somehow relevant ??.

{Ed014's Note - you do try your best I’ll give you that, envy is a terrible thing mate, try not to let it get you too bitter pecker!

If you can’t beat Ipswich and you need to keep banging on about United being your biggest rival, even though they’re dog shit and get beaten by anyone and everyone well maybe you’re not the relevant club you think you are.

Maybe you’ve just scraped a lucky 9 points and it’s all going to go tits up against Forest, you know the team, they’ve won the league and everything so no doubt you’re bricking it! ?

Are you developing a small team fan mentality all over again pecker?

You’re doing ok mate, it’s not all done and gloom, keep ya pecker up fella. ???

10 Sep 2024 20:29:14
Small team fan mentality ??. You mean like saying ‘but you only won because you had the easiest run of fixtures ever! ’

Get over yourself ed14 you do talk some rubbish. Typical Arsenal fan, I can wait until it all goes wrong and you lot can crawl back under your rocks and put your Arsenal shirts back in your wardrobe for another 20 years ??.

11 Sep 2024 16:50:11
I’ve we’ve had an easier set of opening fixtures than our rivals then Confucius says surly we have a harder run in, all swings and no roundabouts.

11 Sep 2024 16:52:29
Envy ??? that is mint.

11 Sep 2024 19:45:32
Ed0014

22/ 23 season first game drew 2-2 with Fulham, we lost 2-1 to United, 1-1 with palace, 0-0 with Everton all rubbish teams….

And this was a team well oiled under Klopp - just saying pal.

{Ed014's Note - mate, you know me, if we don’t win everything I want you guys too!

But it is a pretty easy start which ever way you want to dress it up.

Hopefully you won’t match the 22/23 season finish!

Pecker makes me laugh though, he had his in his wardrobe for 30yrs! ?

Also understand why his user name is a players cock, just a case of knowing which is the bigger entity! ??
