Liverpool banter 7

04 Nov 2026 19:43:20
The team lacks real characters and leaders. Where's the spirit and quality from players on the highest wagebill in England?
This is a very poor Turkish side. We've a group, that if they feel the managers way isn't getting results, their heads drop and everyone drops a level.


There's no Gerrard in this squad that will save us. Why is Araujo an exception with his attitude than the rule? What are we doing here because these lads are winning us nothing.
I believe this is a dressing room problem than quality. There's more than enough quality to win this match.

04 Nov 2026 19:49:04
The senior players let the team down today. Horrible performance.

04 Nov 2026 19:49:50
No idea what we're going to do. Szob doesn't seem to lead, virg is past it, lots of players just go invisible in these games.

04 Nov 2026 20:07:11
Dean this has been a common theme even before slot. Klopp had to go mental at them to perform to what was required.
I said this before. We need characters. I don't know if he's signed an actual Contract renewal yet but I'd want bellingham in and screaming at fellow teammates.


It's not good enough and Allison looks half asleep.
You can't carry anyone. I hope those above andoni are already planning to make moves to Improve Where's needed.

04 Nov 2026 20:54:16
We are second on wage bill after city. Look at Arsenal who are very well drilled and fight for eachother. We need a few leaders in the team.

04 Nov 2026 19:42:31
A real rubbish away performance

And another big sign that this time
Is far too weak to rotate too much

Plain and simple.

04 Nov 2026 19:38:29
Has something happened to Alisson that I'm not aware of??

04 Nov 2026 19:43:54
He needs replacing.

04 Nov 2026 19:45:40
He's got old.

04 Nov 2026 20:08:47
If he keeps this up, it's definitely his farewell season. If the club think mamadashvilli is the answer we'll turn into United and waste years with poor recruitment.

04 Nov 2026 20:11:42
I think he wanted out last summer but was talked into staying. No doubt he's aware of his declining performances.

04 Nov 2026 22:42:54
Who would replace Ali? Is Marma good enough? If not who? I really don't know.

05 Nov 2026 08:03:55
Jaros.

04 Nov 2026 19:29:15
This is worrying. Liverpool are playing as badly as they did last season.

Jacquet has had a stinker. 2nd game in a row he's made a mistake that will cost the team. he's a young lad who has been fantastic up until the last week but he looks like he's got a mistake in him and may need a little time out the team on Saturday. Palace at the weekend is a must win. Cannot fail to beat a team that is massively struggling.

04 Nov 2026 19:35:33
He's been awful tonight but what did he do at the weekend? That was Ali fault.

04 Nov 2026 19:40:57
Jacquet has probably been our best defender overall. VVD and Alisson need to have a look at themselves.

04 Nov 2026 19:42:12
At this point, any thought of a contract extension for Ali needs to be revoked. He is genuinely costing us, can't even make simple decisions without messing them up. He's done.

04 Nov 2026 19:01:53
Nyoni is the future in a Liverpool midfield. The question is who plays alongside him. None of the "regulars" look like midfielders I want beside him for the foreseeable and longterm future. Doms a complete headless chicken at times.

04 Nov 2026 20:08:06
He is quality and going to be an absolute fantastic player but needs a proper 6 alongside him.
That type of player will only bring out his existing qualities to a higher level.
Please please please address this issue in the next window.

It's like groundhog day.
We need energy, physicality and desire in the team and squad!
Araujo has brought it but we need another 2 or 3 with a similar mindset.

04 Nov 2026 18:19:53
Lukaku bullying Virgil, I can't recall a time I've ever seen Virgil look to struggle physically against an opposition.

04 Nov 2026 18:30:57
Clearly took a knock and is carrying it.

04 Nov 2026 19:18:43
what game are you watching man? lukaku once got the better of vvd, and that was when he pushed him off the ball and gave away a foul. I know people love to fish for problems, but VVD is among the least concerning things for us right now.

04 Nov 2026 19:35:41
He was physically dominating Virgil for the first 45 minutes. Virgil grew into the battle, taking the knock as explained by Liverpoolfc8 would explain that happening. Not sure if you're dodgy stick is behind or something.

04 Nov 2026 13:25:10
We've a player on our hands in young Will Wright lads.

04 Nov 2026 14:19:31
So I'm hearing FM. How good is he?

04 Nov 2026 14:32:21
Gonna be interesting to see who steps up, Wright or Danns, because I suspect both profiles may be needed, when Isak pulls up with something. Iraola has shown his willingness to use youth, and rotate the offensive unit, game by game (Unless your name is Gakpo) so it is a possibility.

Wright and Luca Eden look like genuine prospect for the first team, in a couple of years, in addition to Ndukwe. Hopefully no set backs along the way that could hamper their potential. It does look like we have some pretty decent prospects that could play a part in our future.

04 Nov 2026 15:10:13
Looks really good at the level he's at. All types of different finishes. Stays away from injuries and he has a good chance. Thirteen for the season now after today.

04 Nov 2026 15:18:53
Cheers FM. Nothing better than to see a youngster coming through the ranks ?.

04 Nov 2026 07:39:01
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Matchday 9 - Quick Round Up

04 Nov 2026 10:38:06
Great round up Ed.

{Ed001's Note - thank you T.

04 Nov 2026 17:51:13
Great read, Thanks Ed1 ?.

04 Nov 2026 14:45:58
Great read ed..if you were iraola who would you look to bring in and sell over the next couple of windows?

{Ed001's Note - it would be easier to list who I would be keen to keep, which is basically just Nyoni, Koumas and some of the young defenders plus Araujo over the next couple of windows. Virgil and Ali have both needed a long term replacement for years now, Ali can't be relied upon to stay fit and Virgil has regressed enormously. And the rest are just too soft, though I would keep Kerkez too, he can fight for a place and hopefully refind his form.

Looking at that front 3 that started tonight and it is the worst I have ever seen start a competitive match for us. Not one of them is a goalscorer, not one of them has decent striking technique and I am not convinced we haven't been sold a pup with Barcola. I have still not seen anything to suggest we bought well with him.}

04 Nov 2026 06:30:14
Sorry Ed001
If you could also pick just one midfield addition in January, who would you choose on an available and realistic basis?

{Ed001's Note - I would only go for someone if it was the right player, Sadiki in other words. It if is not him, I would rather work with Nyoni to give him time.}

04 Nov 2026 09:32:48
Have Sadiki been any good for Sunderland this season? Seriously asking as i see their results are all over the place!

04 Nov 2026 10:08:16
Well, Robbo relegated with Hull. See how it turned out.

04 Nov 2026 12:42:11
Wiji was also relegated with Newcastle and he did alright with us.
