Pains me to say this but I don't think flo is up the the physical side of the Premier League there's no doubt a talented footballer there but unfortunately if there was a offer from another club in January i'd take it just my opinion though but believe me I really hope he works out ?.

{Ed001's Note - crazy.}

13 Sep 2026 07:23:21
Wirtz is not rightly supported by the current midfield pivot. He seems to be bypassed. There was a phase in the 1st half yesterday when Wirtz didn't even get a pass for 12 odd minutes.
Just my two cents.

13 Sep 2026 09:09:32
He doesn't do anything when he gets the ball though WAR, it's his job to run the game and make stuff happen.

I do accept we don't help him either at times but he's so wasteful with the ball.

13 Sep 2026 09:26:20
Personally I'd give him the full season before making any rash decisions, but I get where you're coming from OK, Cherki by comparison is constantly creating something out of nothing.

13 Sep 2026 09:31:06
Cherki is certainly looking the far superior player, and has done since their respective switches. Just have to see won't we.

13 Sep 2026 09:41:08
Rodgers is a much better player as well, certainly in Premier League terms. Niger red is right about the £100m plus players. It's early for Barcola obviously, but you can't help but think we've been fleeced with the other two.

13 Sep 2026 10:18:02
Isak had a half chance he did well to even get close to scoring from and a header in the last minute he perhaps could have done better with in fairness. But that was it.

That was all he got all game. Now he as well needs to be stronger, needs to start winning his share of duels but he's making runs. He is just getting duck all created for him.

13 Sep 2026 10:57:23
Florian, that's the problem in a nutshell with Isak, "created for him". I can't remember the last time we had a forward who was so reliant on opportunities being created for him, he was a stylistic mismatch from the get-go. We've always had forwards who could go out there and turn a game around entirely by their own doing.

13 Sep 2026 11:17:03
Izak doesn't fit into our team. He suits an open attacking side like Newcastle or like Spurs used to be. Our game seems to be either win the ball high up or slow build up from the back. Wirtz is a bit lost as well, too lightweight for aggressive pressing, nobody to work with for intricit 1-2s.

These players were bought for what Slot thought he was doing. Now they are trying to play a style that they are not suited to.

13 Sep 2026 11:32:09
Is it the same problem with Haaland Chewy? if anything I would say Isak is a better"footballer"than Haaland but both rely on chances been"created for them".

13 Sep 2026 14:09:16
I remember when Bobby First signed for us he was getting slagged left right and center and hold my hands up i was one of them then Jurgen came and gave Bobby the people around him ie Mo and Sadio and the rest is history. Wirtz has not played with a settled team since he came to the club.

Slot changed the playing positions week after week and Andoni is doing the same trying to get the balance right. This has an affect on a player so let's hold back on Wirtz until we have a settled side and that goes for other players. We are Liverpool we never let our own walk alone.

13 Sep 2026 16:23:53
He's not going to play with a settled side at a top club playing 60 games a week of high intensity football. Theres going to be changes every game. We don't make excuses like this for any other player, only Wirtz. Poor Dom doesn't know who he's starting with in the pivot from one game to the next.

13 Sep 2026 16:55:03
Did you see Jurgen make changes with Mo, Bobby and Sadio no! Because they were settled and and new each others game. He made changes around other positions but not them three Florian.

And yes we had 60 games how many times did Jurgen, Slot change VVD
Give Wirtz time a get the other two Isak and Barcola get to know each others game then we will see if Wirtz is up to the task.

13 Sep 2026 17:27:32
That's because them 3 were freaks who never got injured. Our attackers are not made of the same kind of stuff.

13 Sep 2026 19:50:08
Whats Haaland got to do with it Florian? He plays for a different team, who have a different setup and play a different style, it's totally irrelevant. Not to mention he's a physical freak who can muscle his way into any opportunity. Outside of the fact that him and Isak are both strikers who feed off service, there's nothing comparable about the 2, either as players or in their set ups.

Pep set City up perfectly to feed Haaland whilst we're currently trying to fit 3 managers' pegs in the one hole. (Caught my missus watching that one the other night actually)

12 Sep 2026 21:28:42
This will probably be an unpopular view, and I love him as an individual.
But I think if we can get top dollar for Dom, we should sell him this summer. We could bring in a new midfield pair for the money we could get for him.


It may be like a selling Coutinho type of squad building moment.
1 step back for 2-3 steps forward.
What do you guys think?

12 Sep 2026 22:05:31
Think he deserves the same time everyone else seems to be getting allowed. was our best player last season and he sure as hell isn't the only one struggling. i'd sell Wirtz before I'd be selling Dom.

12 Sep 2026 22:35:13
Szobo with 1/9 duels won in the pivot today.

12 Sep 2026 22:52:37
Struggling alright. but who isn't? bloke shouldn't be in the pivot in the first place.

13 Sep 2026 02:21:19
I would sell Szoboszlai in a heartbeat, he's a player who will do one amazing thing every five games and it blinds people, he is our Bruno Fernandes.

{Ed001's Note - Bruno is the best player in the Prem, I wish he was our Bruno! If you think that Fernandes only does one amazing thing every 5 games, then you haven't a clue.}

13 Sep 2026 05:58:18

Surely all this is taking the pi$$ right? Selling our best player and most consistent, leader in the midfield, free kick taker, our everything! We sell him we lose all of this and our midifield become next to s****.



There is no way people are approving of this, let alone considering.

13 Sep 2026 07:06:27
Fernandes is head and shoulders above any of our midfielders, wake up.

Talking of Szob how about just playing him in his best position. If that means dropping Wirtz or whatever so be it.

I'm all for coaching evolution, but it needs to be done alongside winning matches. Play players in their best positions in a system that wins games, then evolve to a preferred system as the personnel evolve or get up to speed.

We're not swallowing the nonsense of a transition season. If anything last season was transitional, this season we've bought two starters and two rotation options that's all.

13 Sep 2026 08:52:02
Good post clearview. Agree on all points.

13 Sep 2026 09:32:53
Personally I don't think a single one of our players is bullet proof right now. None of them are performing to the level required to make them unsellable in my opinion.

13 Sep 2026 09:31:36
Fifth Element, you haven't got a clue mate. Bruno Fernandes is unbelievably good and Dom's not a patch on him, I'd swap Dom for Bruno any day of the week. Arguably the best midfielder in the Prem for the last 8 years. He's been carrying that team on his back for the best part of a decade. Phenomenal player.

{Ed025's Note - hes an excellent player Chewy, horrible little irk of a person at times mate...but boy can he play football..

13 Sep 2026 10:23:48
Wouldn't go that far either though Chewy. Bruno is better but put him in the pivot in this team and he would struggle too. Its not that long ago Dom was thriving and people were having a meltdown about "our best midfielder by miles" been put to RB.

We as fans are fickle, we all do it. Bruno was the biggest flop of the tournament at the WC a few weeks ago apparently and Dom was the player we had to build this team around.

13 Sep 2026 10:59:03
Szoboszlai is like a championship version of Bruno.
Szoboszlai might have all the technical ability but he seems to believe all the hype around him.
Our midfield lacks fight team effects with Szoboszlai and Gravenberch in there they put there selfs first rather than the team.


Szoboszlai spent most of the game in the right back position with the midfield wide open.
Give me a midfield with Endo and Nyoni at the minute till Gravenberch and Szoboszlai learn to put the team first.
If they don't learn they should be moved on.

13 Sep 2026 11:36:14
Until Bruno walks around with his hands in the air today for an hour and moaning at every refereeing decision?then we'd have that"little rat"nowhere near our club.

13 Sep 2026 12:30:23
Thats your opinion Florian, and you're entitled to it, but what I've stated is a hard, inarguable fact. The stats don't lie. Fernandes is a phenomenal player, agree with Ed, a horrible little c**t, but an exceptional footballer. I couldn't give a rats about the world cup, some '1 every 4 year' summer tournament has absolutely no bearing on what a player does year in year out, you might as well be telling me about how poor his backswing is.

Yes, Dom was our best mf by a long shot last year but he's still a country mile off Bruno, both are true. Dom's had 1 very good season hitting 20+ G/A, Fernandes has averaged 30+ a season since he joined Utd, hitting 46 one year. Those are exceptional numbers for a mdfielder, if we got that out of Isak we'd be ecstatic. Bruno's regularly putting up numbers that put him in Frank Lampard territory, and if it wasn't for the fact that United have been so poor during his time at the club, there would be a hell of a lot more respect put on his name. In Doms 3 years with us he's had just 1 season that could be considered on Brunos level. He's been carrying that team for the last 8 years, much like Gerrard did for us, they'd be in the championship without him.

13 Sep 2026 13:07:02
Not disagreeing with ye at all chewy. Just funny how footballers are perceived. Duck all LFC would have wanted Bruno anywhere near our club before the start of last season. Would have said he wouldn't get in our(at that time)title winning midfield. Yet as you rightly say he's been putting up 30+ a season since he walked in the door at United years ago.

So what changed? Him breaking the assist record last season? Apart from the Ipswich hattrick United fans seem to be on his case again this year, no pleasing some people aye?

13 Sep 2026 16:13:20
Obviously not the Bruno Fernandes of today, but a couple of years ago almost everyone on here would laugh at him running around like a headless chicken, throwing his arms up in the air and trying to be a super hero, that's the Szoboszlai I see playing for us.

13 Sep 2026 16:27:50
Has he changed his style of play since then Fifth Element? did he suddenly decide at 30 years of age to become a different character? Or did he AND Casemiro look much better as they only had one game a week to deal with?

12 Sep 2026 18:05:36
This page sounds more like United fans that think they're entitled to titles just because they've been spoiled with success over the last decade.

We're 4 games in and haven't lost, obviously there's massive room for improvement but we are Liverpool, we give the manager and the squad the opportunity to improve. YNWA.

12 Sep 2026 18:33:44
Your right but people are paying to be entertained and let's be honest mate that today was not entertainment at all. No one is saying anything about the manager he has come to a club were the people who where supposed to help him have let him down and moved on.


As for the squad it is not in a great place but with signings in jan window it will improve.
Mate please don't accuses us of being like united fans.

12 Sep 2026 18:36:25
I'm not even contemplating giving the manager stick. But like you say there's room and need for massive improvement. Ireola like every other manager will be judged on how the team performs, and will have to make some huge decisions if certain superstars keep performing as they are.

if certain things keep happening because change is not implemented he like anyone else will get stick. In saying that I really rate Ireola and some of the players for me are the problem, not the manager.

12 Sep 2026 19:46:27
nearly Costus Tsimikas.

13 Sep 2026 09:37:28
BMRED, agreed, coming into this season was always going to be a long process, and the main aim should be that come May, we see a huge improvement in the style, consistency and footballing relationship between the players and their roles.

It was always going to be a long process. I'm surprised how many people seem to think that Iraola was going to work miracles in 6 weeks with half a squad.

13 Sep 2026 10:30:38
Yes Chewy, and I don't think anyone expects miracles. I've said all summer I would bite your hand off for 5th now and to play good ball with a style implemented. But, this is LFC Last summer all that was been said was that ANYBODY would be better than the then manager. Well that manager got Champions League football.

That is the least that needs to be achieved again this season because make no mistake if we miss out style of football will not save this or any other manager. New owners especially will demand it. I do expect Iraola to achieve it as I think we will get better and better as the season goes on, I really hope I'm right.

13 Sep 2026 12:28:10
From what I've read, it certainly seems like there's plenty who are acting like miracles should have been woked just 4/5 games in, talking about dropping half the team and selling are starters.

13 Sep 2026 13:12:00
That performance yesterday was as bad as anything during our Jurgen struggles in 2021, 2023 and last year Chewy. People are just letting off steam. I actually think it's been pretty mild. Not many actually posting their thoughts compared to last season.

13 Sep 2026 13:48:26
BMRED I've been lucky enough to get tickets in the ballot for three games this season, sitting in the section with the L postcode fans.

There was a decent atmosphere against Madrid, and no sense of entitlement at all. But I'd say the fans around where I was sitting have been generally underwhelmed with what we were watching, except for a period of about 30 mins in the game against Madrid when we were pretty good. Even that game came nowhere near the performance against the other Madrid last season when we were excellent.

Theres a sense of disappointment in the standard of play from the local fan base who attend matches, that's mirrored on here to a degree.

They're not fooled by the narrative around transition etc, neither do they expect everything to be delivered on day one by Iraola. There were several players midweek getting dug out by the fans, never mind in the Forest and Fulham matches when we were worse.

There is some optimism with the coach, and a few of the new buys, but generally the sentiment is we need to be convinced you're all up to this clubs standard and are willing to work for the shirt. That's different from being entitled.

12 Sep 2026 17:55:38
So what was apparent to most on here is hopefully becoming apparent on the pitch.

Iraola is fast discovering that a holding two of Szoboszlai and Gravenberch does not work. I would go so far as to say it has to be one of Szoboszlai or Wirtz, not both in the same XI.

MacAllister has to start. Personally I would start him with Nyoni as the young lad will play out of his skin and provide a platform for Szoboszlai/Wirtz to build on.

Oh, and Van Dijk, please grow a pair. You're the captain for goodness sake. Behave like one and start leading.

12 Sep 2026 18:14:02
Will chalk this one off as tiredness.

Trying my hardest to not say anything about the midfield and fullback profiles. Oooooops did it. Sorry.

12 Sep 2026 17:44:45
Did anyone feel like they were watching Slot's team today? The lethargy was palpable. I don't know if it was the starting time or the Atletico exertion, but my goodness, it was turgid!
I talked about Grav Last time, and on the basis of today's game, there's no reason Nyoni shouldn't start ahead of him.

13 Sep 2026 10:03:46
I think it was the result of tired/overwhelmed players resorting to what's been engrained in them over nearly a 2 year period, it's going to take a long time to coach it out of them. I mean, we still haven't got the basics locked down.

13 Sep 2026 10:34:57
We should have the basics locked down. Iraola is there a couple of months now. No one is expecting Barca-esque brilliance but the basics should be locked down. Poor performances are just that. Poor performances. We will get better but don't excuse them by pinning it on a guy that's gone since June.

13 Sep 2026 17:32:16
Also we were told Slot didn't coach the players much, they had a lot of time off, and the title win was more down to Jurgen. Second season malaise was due to poor fitness, Jota passing, and boring tactics.

Now the poor start is Arne's fault, as the basics have been coached out of them. Chewy you're normally spot on, but not with this one!

10 Sep 2026 13:35:13
Looking at our midfield players' profiles, for me the hardest to replace are Wirtz and Dom.

I know the jury is still out for some with Wirtz, but what those 2 can offer in (hopefully) regular 7-8/10 performances just can't be replicated by most other midfielders.

The other profiles of Macca and Grav should be easier to upgrade if that's where the club chooses to invest next.

Grav's passing has always been sketchy, even the simple 20yd stuff, and he doesn't have that love of a challenge like Araujo or positional discipline.

And while Macca was disciplined and combative last night, he'll never be quick or have that 5-10yd burst of acceleration to instantly shut things down.

In a dream world, a hybrid of Grav's physical attributes (size, engine, speed) and Macca's discipline and passing, is what we need.

Hopefully AI works his magic on Grav through coaching because physically speeding up Macca is probably not achievable.

10 Sep 2026 14:51:58
Trey Nyoni coukd be that player.

10 Sep 2026 15:55:00
I and AI must be the only ones to know the perfect front four:
Munoz-Barcola-Gakpo
Isak
Blistering pace, every defenders nightmare!
Though I sadly note Gakpo had Adductor issues last night, that's the same problems Bajcetic had, I would take no risks whatsoever and rest him for the Fulham, Spurs(Cup where he would not have played anyway), Bournemouth away and with the international break following after the Bournemouth game that will be 6 games rest (one last night), but more importantly rest time of just over one month, he could? then return for the man city home game on the 11 October, plus the fact if he plays no international games he can't get injured also? if he does play versus Fulham, then he must be okay for all the following games if "Fit" of course?

Andoni can claim it's quite legitimate as he was not available for the Madrid, Fulham, Spurs, Bournemouth games? if he plays versus Fulham, then you are duty bound to release him for the two international games, it should not be that the Dutch FA gain the Gakpo advantage, but more importantly Liverpool Football Club.

10 Sep 2026 16:19:48
Man of Tod, Yeah I've high hopes for Nyoni, not as physical as Grav but he's quick enough, seems to have great situational awareness and discipline but it's still far too early in the young lads career to be lining him up as the solution right now.

10 Sep 2026 17:34:34
LFC has not done any winter transfer business since Gakpo in 2023, Diaz the year before 2022, and VVD in 2017-18.
Camara and Minteh could be the perfect additions for the next Winter transfer window and PL push? Hugo at least next April.
Leoni could also be back for full training over the international break-Andoni.

10 Sep 2026 20:56:17
I agree chewy, my hope is we slowly bleed him through and he ends the season as a reliable option.
I like Gravy but he is the one player I have (other than the fbs) doubts on. He just needs to focus on doing the basics and then build form there, last night he shower a total lack of football IQ with those stupid flicks and constant turnover of possession he just needs to focus to occupy the spaces and play the simple pass.

11 Sep 2026 19:22:01
Grav is still young and has massive potential. Macca can be great and has amazing vision and passing when he's on it but he's the most upgradable for me. In Spain or Italy, he's a nailed on baller, but in the prem he's usually just a touch too slow for my liking.

12 Sep 2026 07:52:54
Westwood Grav is 24. I still believe in him but personally this season is make or break for him if he is to be a Liverpool player, he has reverted back to his ways at Bayern and pre-Slot, this being ill disciplined )tactically) and just running with the ball then not knowing what to do when he breaks into the final third.


There is a more defensive midfield role Ip for grabs which he has the athleticism for but does he have the appetite for it? That is my concern. At the start of last season he has talked about getting goals and his dad wants him to score, since then he has stank the place out.

12 Sep 2026 08:59:58
Yeah he definitely needs coaching, but i do think has the attributes to be a starter. As you say, I think he would be best as a holding midfielder to receive the ball, carry it through the lines then offload it, and can play 8 to an extent if we are short on numbers.

He certainly has the ability to track and tackle effectively. If he doesn't want that though, then yeah, he's going to be on the bench until he eventually gets sold.

12 Sep 2026 16:59:31
With each passing game Wirtz and Dom are making themselves the easiest to replace.

13 Sep 2026 09:48:53
You can coach some of this stuff so it just becomes muscle memory, but one of the issues with our poorer performing players is lack of game intelligence.

Grav and Kerkez are probably the two main examples of that. Grav in particular is a talented player, but on balance across his time at the top level with us and Bayern he's played more bad than good games. That's why Bayern let him go, although they were reluctant because they knew he was really talented.

I feel we're in similar territory with him, he's one of the best around at breaking the lines but his decision making and passing can be really poor. Big season for him.

13 Sep 2026 11:42:23
Yeh totally agree Grav has all the talent in the world. But apart from Slots title winning seasonwhere he paired that talent with a willingness to graft, show show some determination and follow instructions he has always flattered to deceive. its up to him now. Sulk and inevitably move on or knuckle down and show the player your capable of being.

10 Sep 2026 13:31:14
V exciting times ahead I feel for lfc. Can see wee improvements in team every game. bit fitter, press getting more coordinated, defensively a bit better. Really looking forward to a season of good attacking front foot football, we will only get better as season goes on I feel.

Obviously still few glaring issues that need to be sorted but u can see we on right path.
Off the field I do think the new investors will bring a freshness and an enthusiasm to behind the scenes. Will be a good next couple of years I reckon.

10 Sep 2026 16:22:27
No, expecting improvements in every game is wild. This is going to be a long post-Slot recovery process, there's definitely going to be downs with the ups. We will improve overall but no chance of always seeing improvements game to game.

10 Sep 2026 18:09:04
Nah I didn't mean every game but u can see improvement from our 1st game of season. i agree there will be downs while we adjust to new players/management, can see a few 3-2 scoreline either way.
I would disagree with u chewy as regards a long drawn out process, I think next season we will challenge for the title.

11 Sep 2026 13:38:44
No, you don't disagree, if it take us a year before we can challenge, in comparison to your question of game to game, that's a long process.

11 Sep 2026 19:43:59
No it's not.

09 Sep 2026 20:22:49
Just rip up Kerkez's contract and get rid of him.

09 Sep 2026 20:45:53
And be stuck with Tsimikas? No thanks.

{Ed666's Note - and you think hes gonna be worse than Kerkez?

09 Sep 2026 20:51:28

Well he certainly won’t be better. There's a reason why he doesn't start games.

09 Sep 2026 21:26:46

Kerkez is absolutely awful. He offers nothing going forward and is abysmal at defending. He's constantly having to slide tackle, which is a clear sign of a terrible defender. Tsimikas is not great but literally anyone else is better than Kerkez.

{Ed666's Note - he’s so reactive and not pro active. He just doesent sniff danger at all. Hes a spectator at best

09 Sep 2026 21:20:44
And Kerkez's tenacity was why we scored our 2nd. Maybe just don't bother criticising, if you're going to be knee-jerk about specific incidents.

09 Sep 2026 22:05:39

It's not knee jerk. We could have conceded 3 directly from his mistakes but it's not about single instances. It's about the totality of what he offers. His tenacity is great but also drags him out of position a lot and is possibly the reason for a lot of his bad decisions. He is really really poor and I don't see him improving.

09 Sep 2026 22:22:05
Greek scouser never let's anyone down. Kerkez has this season or we need two full backs.

09 Sep 2026 22:51:06

Tsimi’s cameo looked calm and in control when he came on. We will never have that with Kerkez, but Kerkez is not helped by lecky legs (Rio). Those two on the same side, we're asking for trouble atm.

10 Sep 2026 08:27:04

The biggest issue for me with Kerkez is his clear lack of defensive instinct. For the goal, he was last man and could clearly see that and was alongside Llorente. He seems VVD step and then decides to follow despite knowing he is playing his man onside. If he stays with his man, the chance is then immediately reduced - it is fullback basics. I know this and I only played club level; if you are level or behind your cb take responsibility and stay with your man always. He also has a tendency to switch off at key moments with JJ covering his ass in the second half, worrying signs for a professional footballer who can’t do the basic of their position.

10 Sep 2026 08:40:07

We’ve seen an immediate improvement moving Araujo to right back and dropping Frimpong. We offer little offensively with Araujo but he seems solid enough defensively, and very committed.

On the left I’m not sure Tzimi could be worse than Kerkez right now. Maybe give him the full game against Tottenham in the cup. If he does well, leave him in.

Grav is another liability, flicks and tricks in the wrong areas, not doing the basics. A long spell on the bench is what they both need right now, together with Frimpong. Just need to unpick some of those transfer mistakes in the next few windows.

10 Sep 2026 08:40:09

Kerkez works hard for the shirt. He just needs to improve certain aspects. I've been critical too, but even in the press conference, Kerkez got called a weak link by a journalist. Everyone seems to be knocking him right now. Feel bad for a guy that does work hard. In time, I'd like to hope he improves. The energy he brings is useful if he sorts out the other areas.

10 Sep 2026 09:06:28

Problem is, we leave him in, he loses you games. You take him out, his confidence goes further down. He’s not improving after nearly fifteen months at the club, that’s a worry.

10 Sep 2026 10:23:25
I was more worried about Grav. he was trying to be Szlob bringing the ball up the pitch but kept losing it.

10 Sep 2026 10:26:10
Imo Kerkez is just trying too hard actually. He needs to take a step back, breathe, and go again. I think he has it in him. He did improve after a nightmare start last season as well and was going from strength to strength before getting inexplicably dropped for Robbo, who was markedly worse. Maybe that could have knocked his confidence a bit and he is now compensating by trying to do everything all at once.

10 Sep 2026 13:13:11
Give the lad a break. Talk of ripping up contracts is ridiculous. YNWA.

10 Sep 2026 19:19:18
Kerkez at Bournemouth was the same, last ditch tackles at full speed. Crowd loved it but the reality was his positioning was awful so I'm not sure Iraola can improve him. I think Bradley is a problem on the other side as well, love him as a player but he's all about aggressive high impact sliding tackles and he will get injuries.

I think we need to strengthen the both sides.

Kerkez started off last season terribly too and grew into it somewhat. People are willing to give players like Wirtz all the time in the world and make every excuse for him. Whats the difference?

Agreed FM. Yeah he can improve but he just seems to be the flavour of the month whipping boy. He's made some mistakes, everyone in the team has and will, but as someone above noted his aggressive pressing and ball winning has directly led to two of our goals in the last couple of games.

got to take the rough with the smooth. Tsimikas will be a capable back up until his contract is up, but there's a reason he hardly played last year on loan.

@Cumber, 'could have' and 'didn't' are the same thing.

Who ever pulled the plug on another Nike deal should get a raise in salary Nike are losing millions by the hour their stockmarket prices have plummeted they are in trouble big time.

I’m fairly sure Nike will survive losing us as a kit partnership.

For sure it won’t be ideal for them, but they’re just about big enough to ride it out. ?

So you think Nike are going to go under and every club that has them as their kit manufacturer will be in financial difficulty?

Playing the 'Lmnopeople' card to try and save a 78% drop in stock price is a very strange move. Whoever's in charge of things over at Nike is doing a terrible job and completely out of touch.

They've lost about $6 billion in turnover over the last few years, but still make 45 billion a year.



Interestingly, they only provide shirts for 5 teams across the English leagues.

Just a guess, but I would presume most of their sales and profits are made in the US... especially with the amount of money flying around baseball, basketball, American football...

According to the American MSM Nike changed direction and went woke with their clothing style they went away from what was traditionally sold to clothing that a lot of people did not agree with.

I am sure they will survive but the point I was making was whoever decided that the time was right to leave our deal with Nike and go to adidas made a very good decision and should be applauded for their foresight.
