Well that was an absolute disaster.

It was but also does it really matter? Squad players who are being put through a tough pre season, Im sure to get fit for actual games.

Im not sure I particularly see any sort of style of play, that would probably concern me slightly more. Poor on set pieces, with players pressing more as a one than a team. And too slow.

There were some positives in the first half, but it just fell aart in the 2nd. Jones, Elliot and Chiesa proving they're just not good enough. Grav was no better, but he should be capable of pulling up his socks. We're still not capable of defending long throws, which is nothing short of embarrassing.

I don't think we learned anything new from that 2nd half, but it did reinforce a number of concerns over squad depth, leadership, etc.

One of the biggest challenges for AI is the sheer volume of players returning from injury in the squad. Makes it harder to get the overall balance right, and no one wants to be buying or bringing players in on loan for half a season. We need defensive reinforcements, but we know that, we lack a bit of bite in midfield, same, we've not replaced two leaders, and a lot of key players are only just getting up to speed.

I'll be more worried if we produce similar performances against Monaco and Como. But we definitely need to resolve the imbalances in the squad as it stands. Alan Hansen will at least have felt vindicated by last night's second half. But it's no big deal.

Curtis Jones with probably the worst 45 minutes of his career. Hard to tell if he's just not bothered or if he's that oblivious to danger, either way, he shouldn't be playing anymore games for Liverpool after that.

03 Aug 2026 10:39:10
Yeah, same goes for Chiesa & Elliot. 2 of the most popular players on here. Absolute comedy, how bad they actually are for this level.

03 Aug 2026 23:21:11
Jones' mind is in Milan.

02 Aug 2026 23:05:58.
Only a friendly and looked OK in the first half, but second half was awful. Looked like men against boys, which actually it was. Grav and Jones in midfield were overran and every cross they put in either resulted in a goal or a goal line scramble.

Frimpong went off injured. I just hope this pushes us to bring in some depth and some starters as Leeds were much better.

03 Aug 2026 00:31:39
Did he? I must have missed that.

02 Aug 2026 20:56:47
Isak and Wirtz starting at 9pm LFCTV. Jones on the bench and probably starting the second half… Interesting to see what happens. Hopefully a good game. Ynwa.

First half. Andoni football, press, pass forward, 2-0 lead.

Second half. Jones, Gravenberch back to Slot, ball sideways, backwards. Leeds dominated midfield, all fell apart when Nyoni went off at half time.

To compound it, Leeds had their second team mostly in the 2nd half, three set piece goals. 2-4. Very naive defending from long throws and corners? Calvin Lewis the nemesis and Harry Wilson.

02 Aug 2026 23:38:26
More like the first team. Jones, the invisible midfielder, Chiesa not much better. A very disappointing 2nd half, defence looked a shambles. First half was a joy to watch. Hope this is the version that kicks off the season.



Hughes needs to get his finger out of his Arsenal and bring some big signings in, cos Nyoni is the only academy player, needs to be 1st team along with Rio.

Liverpool to sign Victor Munoz for 40 million Euros. Looks to be an absolutely rapid forward who can play either wing. Surely means any move for Barcola is off. Diomande and Munoz as the two wingers next season to supply Isak? Now that's some pace.

25 Jun 2026 19:51:08
MK Scouser, depends if rumours are true that Gakpo is to leave. I can see a world where we sign Barcola and Diomande.

Munoz, I think will replace Jota's role and be used to play all across the front 3.

Hugo to return early in the new year, hopefully too, gives the team fresh impetus for the final run of PL games.

Jayden Danns to become the new LFC super sub = "Divock Origi".

Fully expect the Real "IS-A-K"-ing to absolutely shine under Iraola's new system, becoming the leader of "Andoni's Red Arrows"!

Maresca will have the same problem as Guardiola, unable to replace Kevin De Bruyne, that's why they have not won the PL for the last two seasons. Borne out that Haaland's first two PL seasons he scored 63 PL goals; his last two seasons in the PL, 49 goals.

He actually signed Sancho (Loan), Gittens, Felix, Garnacho for Chelsea, similar to Chelsea he could be gone by this Xmas after winning just one game in 7 in his last Chelsea fixtures.
Arteta to follow Slot with Second Season Syndrome.

Leaves only two Basques, Alonso and Iraola, which is the future "Artificial (Alonso) Intelligence (Iraola)". Everyone under the Sun knows Intelligence will always beat anything that is Artificial!

11/2 LFC at the bookies third favourites: Arsenal 6/4, Man Cheaty 11/4.

@007, It'd be Eighth Season Syndrome - he's been manager at Arsenal for seven years. ?

30 Jul 2026 19:59:41
Hello WDW,

Thanks ever so much, I never knew Arteta had been at Arsenal for over one year? Must have slipped my memory? Could of swore I saw him clapping at Anfield, when Arsenal gave Slot a guard of honour, the season before!

Arteta's only goal now is to go down in History as the first Arsenal Manager ever to win the European Cup.

He was only one kick away from winning it last year? Champions of Europe? And Wenger forgot forever.

All of the cheats Filth is yet to come out? That will rival the current UEFA/FIFA Filth!

As an Aussie I have to say that was a classic Popovic team performance. Take a team of nobody’s, and drill them to run their guts out and be organized. Did it with the Western Sydney Wanderers. Turkey should’ve known what to expect but instead showed up, assuming their team of superstars (relatively speaking) would coast it in.

They looked clueless as to how to break the Aussies down, the longer the game wore on. I don’t expect the Aussies will go far but they will make the opposition work.

Quite interesting Szob walked around with Mo and Robbo for ages, no one else did??

24 May 2026 18:42:34
No, he didn't, it was about 1 min & then ducked off.

24 May 2026 18:53:38
Why? Think he might be vying for vice capt next season.

Let's face it... there may be a player there... his work rate his second to none... in the right system he may thrive...

Under Slot and this system... average at best. Like the team and club. Mid table beckons until that man leaves the club.

It was all there for him today to let loose the hounds... go attack, play, but no. Same tripe we have been served up.



It's vile and completely unneeded. We are not a club scrimping and saving. Fighting for our lives. These tactics. Yep. Would work and I can understand the need for them in say 2102 2013.

Small club tactics at our club does not work.

It's what separates the taking parts from the we are winners.

He needs to go and any suit who believes this season is acceptable. I don't mean winning. I mean application.

24 May 2026 19:07:50
Interesting that it was the directors who did the presentation to Mo and Robbo, the coaches weren't really in the picture. It was quite nicely done, just a shame the performance was so mediocre again.

We need a real spark to get us going, whether that's a new coaching set up, or a few new players, or both, who knows. Glad the season's over, Arsenal deserved it, and no fairytale ending for Pep either.

Hopefully Arsenal and Man Utd don't strengthen too much in the summer, and hopefully Chelsea struggle without CL football, that would leave us with hope of top5 again.

Big summer ahead if we want to be challengers again. Big plus for the season Rio and Szob, the rest will want to forget this one.

24 May 2026 19:34:41
Maybe I overread something, but Hughes did not look comfortable to thank Mo for his contribution. Seems like Mo's criticism of Slot struck a nerve with Hughes. Yeah, the only fakes in those photos are Hughes. King Kenny and Rush earned their status, as has Salah.

But to look uncomfortable presenting Mo his memento at the end speaks volumes of Hughes. I absolutely despise anyone that thinks Slot deserves another chance, and that includes Hughes.

25 May 2026 19:15:12
You despise anyone who thinks Slot deserves another chance? That's a bit harsh, isn't it?

The people who make the decisions have all of the facts. You don't.

On the face of it, I want Slot gone, but if the powers that be decide he should be given another chance they obviously have a reason for it and they have direct access to the truth.

All we have is poor performances and hearsay.

I'll just wait, and if he stays, I'll support the team like I always do, and hope that this season was a blip.

26 May 2026 08:50:50
They have all the facts we don't?

What do you think the Premier League Table is used for?

Don't you have a pair of eyes? How can FSG have all the facts when they attend Anfield every blue moon? Seeing is believing!

Pep never had a fairy tale ending. He won "TWO" more major trophies than LFC did!

24 May 2026 18:26:43
Chopping onions here - thank you Mo & Robbo YNWA & Nice that Hendo got a good reception too.

24 May 2026 18:24:49
Who’s not crying at the end? I don’t mind saying I am. All the best Andy & Mo
