Do Eds/ posters think that the new Sporting Director may bring with him targets or will the targets already be identified?

I read that he signed Micky van de Ven for Wolfsburg in his previous role.

He’s a left sided centre back at 22 years old who has been linked with a move to fellow PL teams such as arsenal in recent times.

Knowing that we seem to be after a centre back, do you think he may suggest him?

{Ed002's Note - They would have spoken to him about targets and no doubt he will have ideas but they will not throw away all the work previously done.

Micky van de Ven (CB) Dortmund und and Arsenal have spoken with Wolfsburg and been told he will be agreeing a new contract. It is not on the TMS yet but I understand it has happened. Liverpool and Manchester City were at a game against Dortmund in November - I had assumed to watch JB but van der Ven scored that day. Team Mino have now agreed a new deal so a sale this summer seems unlikely.}

Ed001 / Ed002

There doesn’t seem to be any reported progress regarding the search for Julian Wards replacement.

Do you think fans should be concerned at all at this lack of progress? Or do you think lots of work is being done behind the scenes?

Will it hinder summer transfer plans for sales or recruitment?

Now that it seems a full sale of the club is less likely and a minority investment is more likely on the cards, will this speed up the process? I. e. any new majority owners may have wanted to bring in their own man and possibly deterred any potential suitors for DoF until the sale was resolved.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any lack of progress Keith - as I have said there have been approaches made tothree (although it could be four) potential candidates. It is unrelated to the sale of the club or investment in FSG.}


1.) 09 Mar 2023 14:47:39
Ed2. Are you able to let us know who are the three or four candidates we have approached? If it’s unimportant, not to worry.

{Ed002's Note - As I have explained, it would not be appropriate at this time.}


2.) 09 Mar 2023 15:21:27
Ed2. I understand. Main thing is we are in the process of trying to hire one and that’s all that matters ?.


3.) 09 Mar 2023 17:40:39
I feel people worry far too much about the behind the scenes people these days.


4.) 09 Mar 2023 19:47:05
I agree Tristan but it's so tempting to get a peep behind the curtains with the insights Ed02 can give.


5.) 09 Mar 2023 19:53:22
I agree @Tristan, the club have been hiring back room staff for years and it’s never been something that’s been put under scrutiny. Not a criticism of the OP but it’s just another thing that absolutely everybody MUST have an opinion one and be quick to become adversary about without us actually knowing what we are talking about.


6.) 09 Mar 2023 20:23:36
People need to know everything these days and demand regular updates. At some point they'll be asking how the hiring process of a new cashier at the club shop is going.


7.) 09 Mar 2023 17:55:29
Based on Eds, other news and my own opinion, 4 possible candidates are Mitchell, Mislintat, Krosche and Freund. Due to contract situations the new DOF can only begin on 1st July 2023 anyway so no real rush.


8.) 09 Mar 2023 22:01:13
Thanks for the reply Ed002, appreciate the insight.

Few funny replies tbf. I’m not “demanding updates” ?.

{Ed002's Note - Well Keith, I would not worry too much about it. Up until now Liverpool have used Sporting Directors rather differently to many clubs. It has largely worked out in recent years. Those being looked at now would result in a shift of approach - I have previously mentioned Paul Mitchell as a potential option.}


9.) 10 Mar 2023 05:30:07
I think it’s the insinuation that hearing nothing means nothing is happening which means FSG is bad.
Not saying that’s the underlying feeling of the OP, but I often think people get too preoccupied with updates.
Understandable mind.


 

 

01 Dec 2022 08:22:05
Ed002 - please put to bed these rumours of Sven Mintslat taking over from Ward as sporting director?

He would be a woefully poor appointment to say the least.

{Ed002's Note - I am not sure that the owners are looking to such appointments when the club will be chaning hands.}


1.) 01 Dec 2022 10:39:16
Just curious. How do you know he'd be a poor appointment?


2.) 01 Dec 2022 13:01:40
Signed a loada future superstars for Dortmund, has to be tripe.


3.) 01 Dec 2022 19:35:43
Hi ed2, there’s a Boston journalist reporting that it’s more likely that FSG will be taking an investor than a full buy out right now. Are you hearing anything similar or are you expecting a full buy out?

{Ed002's Note - As I have explained, for the past year FSG has been looking to sell part of the club but the interest is an issue. FSG want the money for a new project and that would require the sale of the club. All options remain viable.}


4.) 01 Dec 2022 20:43:49
New project requires sale of club mean looking into requiring another club by any chance?


5.) 01 Dec 2022 21:20:38
Oh mane mane and Jude.

You only have to look at his more recent appointment at arsenal, where he signed the following players:
Mkhitaryan
Mavropanos
Leno
Sokratis
Torreira
Guendouzi
Lichensteiner

That’s enough for me to say he would be a poor person to put in charge of transfers at Liverpool.

Yes he signed Auba and Dembele at Dortmund. But I don’t think that makes him qualified and with the attitudes on those two I would rather pass thanks.

I think Ed014 is the arsenal Ed (I may have that wrong), would be interested to hear from him, what he thinks of Sven Mintslat.


6.) 01 Dec 2022 21:56:55
And where was arsenal in the pecking order in the league when he signed them players .
When Liverpool where nowhere near who did we sign . Surely that has to be a factor . No champions league your not signing the best players simple.


 

 

10 Jan 2022 13:58:44
Afternoon Eds, and happy new year to you all.

How genuine is this reported interest of Newcastle in signing Origi in January?

Reports today that they want to have a striker signed and registered ready to play against Watford at the weekend. This seems quite ambitious.

If he were to leave do you think the club would/ should replace him in January/ from
within the club/ wait until the summer?

{Ed002's Note - I don't think Origi will be moving this month.}


1.) 10 Jan 2022 15:08:09
I really hope they do sign him.


2.) 10 Jan 2022 20:25:52
I hope they don’t, would leave us up sh*t creek without a paddle as we’re already missing Salah and Mane.


3.) 10 Jan 2022 21:47:09
So you’d rather lose him in the summer for free when we don’t have the funds to buy a packet of walkers crisps?

Plus he’s rubbish.


4.) 10 Jan 2022 21:56:08
If someone was set to arrive then yes, but if not no we can’t afford to lose him at present.


5.) 10 Jan 2022 22:41:55
He's rubbish, but he scored a goal in the Champions League final.


6.) 11 Jan 2022 00:00:57
And 2 in the semi and most recent winner against a stubborn wolves but yeh I see your point rubbish he can’t get a game when he does you all expect him to be fowler/ rush . Think I need to stay away a bit longer.


7.) 11 Jan 2022 08:34:19
If a decent enough offer came in, I'm sure we'd let him go. His wages are way too high for someone who doesn't play regularly.


8.) 11 Jan 2022 10:10:03
He’s far more valuable in the squad than he is for the few million we’d get for him now. A few million quid now is meaningless if we then lose the next two league games and lose further ground on City, it is extremely unlikely that we’d bring anyone in replace him if we left. If he goes for a free in the summer then it’s fine, he’s done his bit for the club, I wish him all the best and he can leave with his head held high as both a premier league and champions league winner.


9.) 11 Jan 2022 11:14:38
I would agree VVVV.


10.) 11 Jan 2022 11:47:29
Spot on V4. Hugely underrated squad player. Has played his role brilliantly in the years he has been here and respite very little playing time and not fitting the system he always seems to find the net. I for one will be gutted when he goes. Let’s hope Minamino can be as useful off the bench and as backup.


11.) 11 Jan 2022 16:08:37
Let's be clear on this - origi is not rubbish. He is nowhere near the calibur of the players that start ahead of him but he's as good as most if not all of the bottom half teams strikers. I cannot think of a sinlge players of his ability that would be happy with the sort of game time he gets and, where he to leave, I hope the club will be thinking very carefully about why they would rather he goes. If the plan is to add a forward to the roster who is closer to top level and can rotate with out fully fit front 4 more then great, love the plan. If it is to replace him with someone else who plays some cup games and late sub appearance, we will almost certainly be downgrading the squad by loosing him.


12.) 11 Jan 2022 19:07:54
Looks like Newcastle are signing Chris Wood and a young French lad so I would imagine Origi is a nine starter.


13.) 11 Jan 2022 23:36:58
I agree with most Origi is a great squad player but I do think he deserves a chance at a club where he’ll play every week. See if he can go another level.


14.) 12 Jan 2022 00:16:29
@Hjikle - spot on with your assessment, couldn’t agree more.


15.) 12 Jan 2022 06:42:34
Origi’s goal was fantastic against wolves the other month and that moment was the shining light in what hadn’t been a great performance from the team. That could have been the kickstart moment he needed for
the season but unfortunately for him he hasn’t been seen since with an injury.


 

 

19 Jun 2019 01:45:13
I have heard Liverpool are interested in Pedro Rebocho from Guningamp.

From what I can see online, he’s a Portuguese left back, could be good cover for Robbo and probably wouldn’t cost the world.

He even got 8 assists last year in the league!

Anyway, I’m not ITK or anything just what I was told by a chap at work.


1.) 19 Jun 2019 10:54:15
Sounds plausible at least.
Can't decide whether it's claptrap or hogwash from the Echo who say Junior Firpo or Philipp Max are tipped as possible left-back options for Liverpool. Well, they're left-backs but that's where the relevance ends. Both would want to be first choice and we've got that covered already. Just stop printing this crap.


2.) 19 Jun 2019 14:58:39
Have heard from my agent. Liverpool would like me as a second choice gk. anyones fine itseems. ali is going to play every game anyway😂😂😂.


3.) 20 Jun 2019 02:51:01
He is going to Olympique de Marseille. Villa Boas wants him. Apparently both him and the player share the same agent; as well as of course both from Portugal.

After the close of another transfer window, I wanted to say a sincere thank you to the eds.

Not only did you call most of the transfers early doors and give us fantastic inside information, but you’ve also dealt with endless amounts of questions (and moaning) on here, and managed to do it with your usual dry humour (Ed2 and 25 especially! ) .

Put your feet up and pour yourself a well-earned gin and tonic (it’s 5pm somewhere! )

{Ed002's Note - Thanks Keith.}


1.) 02 Sep 2023 09:47:08
Totally agree the Ed’s have been awesome.


2.) 02 Sep 2023 10:56:18
Hear! Hear! NK.


3.) 02 Sep 2023 11:45:31
As always, cheers for putting up with us, Eds.

Take a breath before the Salah saga and new Sporting Director pursuits begin.

{Ed002's Note - Thanks.}


4.) 02 Sep 2023 11:30:27
Washing machines in overdrive this weekend as knickers and bedsheets all being washed and dried.
Poor Eds double up as agony aunts on here too.
Kudos to the Eds, especially 025 who puts up with the teasing with such good grace.

{Ed025's Note - I’m an evertonian Flash so I’m used to it by now mate. Cheers .. ?


5.) 02 Sep 2023 12:00:32
Yup, big thanks to all the eds for keeping us up to date with their facts and opinions. I'll never understand the mentality of those that bust your chops for not telling them what they want to hear, but the vast majority of us respect and appreciate all your efforts.

And just out of curiosity, who are we going to sign in January? ?.


6.) 02 Sep 2023 12:04:30
Legends, all of them.


7.) 02 Sep 2023 12:38:01
Agreed. Been following for what feels about 15 years now. In many ways the best place in
Internet fantasy land. Glad ed 02 has thick skin people can be terrible.


8.) 02 Sep 2023 14:26:09
I still believe another centre back is needed due to the proneness of the others to injury.

I hope we are also still after Andre?

I am therefore hoping that Quansah can step up?


9.) 02 Sep 2023 14:51:28
Yuri, you do know that the Eds aren’t responsible for Liverpool transfers?


 

 

29 Aug 2023 09:48:49
It’s only been 3 game weeks and already we’ve seen a huge spread in refereeing standards for decisions on penalties, red cards and fouls.

Wolves v united - Onana dangerously wipes out the wolves player in the box with no contact on the ball. No foul given.

Spurs v Brentford - Van De Ven makes a clearance in the box and kicks through the Brentford attacker while making the challenge. No foul given.

Liverpool v Newcastle - VVD makes a challenge on Isaak, getting the ball but kicking through Isaak to make it.

It’s all very well pundits, ex refs and other fans “explaining” why the VVD challenge is a red card, but the issue for fans is the rules seem to change on a weekly basis and depending on who the ref officials are at a given game.

I’m not saying refs are out to get us (although it can feel that way! ) but the lack of consistency is shocking after only 3 weeks of games.


1.) 29 Aug 2023 09:55:30
Well said Keith.


2.) 29 Aug 2023 10:00:26
Navy in the game itself, the rules were not being applied properly on both teams. Jolignton fould Endo twice and Macca once in succession and the ref swallowed his cards. Tonali stopped Macca in his tracks as he was baring down on their final 3rd. No card.

Joelington committed 7 fouls according to the stats and again, no card. Newcastle were kicking the ball away, the same thing Trent got booked for and nothing happened to any of them. Did the ex ref's and pundits address all this? Of course not. The refs may not be out to get us (even tho for some, that's debatable at this point) BUT their incompetence will hurt all clubs at the end of the day.


3.) 29 Aug 2023 10:05:30
I often have a small bet on certain players to get booked. Milner and Can were two of my favourites. Diego Costa another. I also fancy Anthony Gordon to get a card but I'm glad I didn't bother on Sunday. I'd have been more miffed had I had a bet, as well.


4.) 29 Aug 2023 10:17:43
Inconsistency is a big problem but I think the ref was heavily influenced by the crowd/ backroom staff on Sunday.

Trent got fouled and kicked the ball away, petulant but a booking. The newcastle bench went mad and he produced the card.
Trent fouls gordon, technically should of been a second yellow. But gordon goes down looking for it so glad the ref got to the right decision (not sending him off over the two offences) but in completely the wrong manner.

VVD, it's a red, how carra can say it's not denying a goal scoring oppurutnity blew my mind.

However, Gordon kicked the ball away, no yellow, think Joelinton did it too, no yellow. He also waved the imaginary card which we have seen others booked for this season.

As soon as the crowd got irate he buckled and that's why I was surprised Trent didn't walk. Although I wonder if he got word that leading up to the first yellow it was a clear foul. We have seen ref's try even it up in the past when they make an error.

One thing that needs to change though is managers and how they react to decisions. ETH claimed Onana wasn't a penalty, stevie wonder could of called that one. Likewise, VVD was a clear red once he gave the foul, but Klopp comes out and says he disagrees. It jsut adds to the fire and sometimes they do get it right and should be acknowledged for doing so, even if it goes agaisnt you.


5.) 29 Aug 2023 10:18:45
I was gobsmacked at the free licence that Joelinton was given to run round and kick Liverpool players whenever he liked.
Then you throw in the whole situation around the Trent booking and I came to the conclusion that nobody can be that incompetent.
That leaves the undesirable conclusion of clear bias, also worth bearing in mind that Klopp had a run in with this dull tart of a referee before.
If they want the refereeing situation to improve, they need to bring in accountability for referees. VAR needs to be completely revamped personnel wise or ditched as it's proving to be equally as incompetent/ biased.
The Premier League has some of the best teams, players, managers and coaches in the world. Yet they rely on referees the majority of which don't appear to be fit for purpose or are clearly biased.
You don't see Formula 1 teams relying on dodgy back street mechanics, do you?


6.) 29 Aug 2023 10:27:35
The problem is VAR is de facto being used to reinforce poor decisions under this 'clear and obvious error' rule because refs are only interested in protecting each other. Rather than it being used to get some degree of consistency across games.

I get that people don't want to wait for the VAR officials to look at 14 slow-mo replays, and then the ref to watch 11 more on the pitch side monitor for a decision, but some of the decisions, like Onana, are mind-bogglingly easy to get right. And yet the ref gets it wrong and VAR doesn't intervene because it's apparently not a 'clear and obvious error' to either miss or ignore a goalkeeper cleaning an opposition forward out.


7.) 29 Aug 2023 11:05:14
"Conclusion that nobody can be that incompetent".

Oh yes, he can be that incompetent, Flash. We've seen this guy before.

Remember the Villa game at Anfield last season where he not only failed to send Mings off for raking his studs on Gakpo's chest, leaving stud marks on his chest looking like Gakpo just went a couple of rounds wit Logan from the X-Men?

Yes, he (and I can list others) can be that incompetent. I do agree that the crowd and the crowd noise got to him and he was quaking in his boots hence, he lacked the courage to dish out the cards their players' actions deserved.


8.) 29 Aug 2023 12:26:15
Throw Luke Shaw and Connor Gallagher in that list as well Rigsby ?.


9.) 29 Aug 2023 12:34:59
Dont you have anything positive to say about the referees @Olired. These are your own words on other matters :)


10.) 29 Aug 2023 14:03:42
Good call on Luke Shaw, thomas and I'll bear Connor Gallagher in mind.
Cheers.


11.) 29 Aug 2023 14:13:34
@Habibi, like Oli, I’m very positive that the current generation of referees are useless.


12.) 29 Aug 2023 14:15:16
Refereeing in general is becoming a bit of an issue due to declining standards, but that klootzak we had on Sunday and at least one other should have their performances assessed and harsh questions should be asked of them.
It won't happen as the whole outfit is more interested in keeping things in house than being honest and transparent about it.
The hierarchy needs a good sweeping out until it's fit for purpose.


13.) 29 Aug 2023 14:40:25
WDW, that's great mae. Are you also very positive that some of the players we are linked to are also very useless :)


14.) 29 Aug 2023 15:27:17
@Habibi, don't you have anything positive to say about your team's performances this season like Man City? Aren't they are off to a flyer with 9 points out of 9? Surely, you must be chuffed to bits about that.


15.) 29 Aug 2023 15:27:43
FlashTheRed, "Klootzak"? You speak Dutch, my G?


16.) 29 Aug 2023 16:48:46
I have a Dutch friend Oli and he calls me that all the time!
Should I be questioning the term "friend" on this occasion?
He also slings in "kut" and "elkel" which I thought at first were complimentary.


17.) 29 Aug 2023 20:44:58
Liverpool lives in Harry's head rent-free even when he loves city lmao.


18.) 29 Aug 2023 23:37:15
@Habibi, I’m very positive that some of the players Liverpool are linked to - good, bad or indifferent - are fairy stories made up by sad sacks with no life away from a keyboard, if that helps.


 

 

02 Aug 2023 14:38:03
Eds, can we run a poll? Be interested to hear fans views on whether we as fans would prefer Lavia, Andre, or another DM option.

Would be interesting to gauge where opinion is at.

Seems to be 50/ 50.

{Ed033's Note -


DM poll


1.) 02 Aug 2023 15:04:09
based on what, the fans extensive scouting networks?

lets be honest we don't know anything about these players beyond what we can see on youtube - somewhere along the line we have to differ to the people in the know and that most certainly isn't the fans.

sorry people, but let's be honest here.


2.) 02 Aug 2023 15:10:07
How about we petition to get both
Plus a right back or cb is no one else is ready to help vvd an konate

Cos right now 4th is the new league title equivalent goal.


3.) 02 Aug 2023 15:11:30
I can’t do the poll as I haven’t seen them play. I just hope whoever we get improves the team.


4.) 02 Aug 2023 15:15:49
Marcos llorente can be crossed off the list he’s about to complete a move to Saudi.


5.) 02 Aug 2023 15:18:39
We’re still a mess. Not going off todays game either.
Balance is all over the place.

Still not enough midfielders through the door. Not one natural DM. No new Center back. Trent’s playing in every position.
Seems like we’ve got this new DOF in to communicate with Saudi Arabia that’s it. Low balling Southampton because we’re not convinced by him

it’s still a complete mess IMO and the season begins next week. Echos of last pre season.


6.) 02 Aug 2023 15:19:16
As fans we don't have extensive knowledge on the internal workings of anything at the club. Unless you're employed there or are part of management or the various departments that may hear things here or there.

Given that, let's not have an opinion on anything, as fans. Let's not have a discussion, or opinions or be part of a poll, or anything else for that matter. Can we ask the Eds to shut this page and site down? There, now that's the proper and clear way of doing things; everything as it should be. ??.


7.) 02 Aug 2023 15:30:14
haha nice one, got me there bang to rights.


8.) 02 Aug 2023 15:32:57
@ArAy ?

It is getting to the point where we’re not “allowed” to discuss anything anymore.

We don’t have to be football scouts to have an opinion on whether we would prefer Lavia or Andre.

Just a bit of fun lads?


9.) 02 Aug 2023 15:34:22
52 have voted so at least some of us remember how to have a bit of fun!


10.) 02 Aug 2023 15:38:49
Ed is it possible to get Arthur back on loan on last day of window again? . And maguire to replace gomez too.


11.) 02 Aug 2023 15:39:15
Nothing personal or offense intended. We all know where we stand as fans. And what our abilities are in terms of how much validity our opinions may or may not have. That's the beauty of these pages and the site. A forum to voice what's rattling inside the brain, nothing more. ?.


12.) 02 Aug 2023 15:50:51
Magico, you're too late. Arthur Mélo has joined Fiorentina on loan. And I think Maguire is being discussed with clubs (based on what I read) . However, I think you may still be in luck. Phil Jones is without a club and available. What do you think, worth it to try for a "loan to buy"? ?.


13.) 02 Aug 2023 15:51:19
Friendly discussion is always welcome pal.

I absolutely take onboard what you're saying and i do truly respect that, but for me the truth is some where in the middle.


14.) 02 Aug 2023 16:02:49
Defence still a problem. Klopp knows it.

Trent is great at going forward, not so good at defending. Matip is past his prime.

I prefer Andre, Schurrs and Gvardiol.


15.) 02 Aug 2023 16:03:22
I'd prefer we match the reported £77 million that City are offering gvardiol, and sign him instead. We must be saving a fortune on wages this year so a deal surely should not be out of the question.


16.) 02 Aug 2023 16:13:36
ArAy1969, I had no idea Phil Jones was still out there in these streets. Surely worth a punt. At least, his facial expressions when Utd used to concede were.


17.) 02 Aug 2023 16:34:19
Incredible Bulk, not a bad idea at all, but I know it's not going to happen. At ManCity, Guardiola always gets his man. One way or another.


18.) 02 Aug 2023 16:25:03
Can you add “within acceptable club funds, whomever the manager wants most” to the poll?


19.) 02 Aug 2023 16:32:31
Olired, yup he's still definitely a practicing professional footballer. The same player Alex Ferguson declared was the best player he had ever coached.

You gave me an idea. I will start looking at our defenders' facial expressions after we concede. Never did that before. See if any of ours compare with Phil's. ?.


20.) 02 Aug 2023 18:17:55
ArAy1969, oh, check out Jones' facial expressions whenever Utd conceded. The stuff of legends.


21.) 02 Aug 2023 19:17:04
Phil Jones a step too far ArAy. don't worry we'll find a last minute loanee to sit on treaent table all season. we have a knack for that.


22.) 02 Aug 2023 21:49:59
Lots of hate for Phil Jones but none of the haters have got extensive scouting networks.

{Ed025's Note - i dont think its hate Ron, everyone will have an opinion on a player mate and they are entitled to that, he has made a very good living playing the game he loves so good luck to him...even though he is one of the worst players the world has ever seen.. :)


 

 

13 Jun 2023 11:10:36
Latest rumours are that Kone deal is unlikely.

I wonder if we have prioritised Thuram (aka Thurman)?

Ed002 has said he only expects one of the two to sign.


1.) 13 Jun 2023 11:19:42
Navy Keith, Thuram (a. k. a Thurman, lol) is on and based on stuff out there, a fee is the only thing left for both us and Nice to iron out as he reportedly rejected PSG already to come to us. Let's hope the deal happens.


2.) 13 Jun 2023 11:37:11
I assume our financial constraints are an issue.


3.) 13 Jun 2023 11:49:33
Why do you assume that Daretodream. We walked away when we saw the total cost for Bellingham. We have agreed personal terms (apparently) with Thuram and we are negotiating with Nice over the transfer fee - we are not walking away as things stand.


4.) 13 Jun 2023 13:14:41
We’ve got another 23 months of giving Kone the flirtatious looks before we walk away.


5.) 13 Jun 2023 14:26:23
WDW3. To say we have agreed personal terms is based on opinion only and rumours floating about certain sites. It’s my opinion that Thurams club will want top money for him of which we are stumbling over in one hit else the deal would already be done. It’s not to say it won’t get done, I’m just saying how I see it.


6.) 13 Jun 2023 18:13:06
Or Daretodream, you could just wait and let the process play out first before pre-emptively whinging about it? Just providing another option.


7.) 13 Jun 2023 19:37:22
OliRed good to read your opinion mate. I have no choice than to let the whole thing play out? I’m just responding to OP saying personal terms agreed. In my opinion we might well struggle to meet the numbers. That’s it.


8.) 13 Jun 2023 21:04:30
Daretodream, that's cool to think that way. Me? Im sound and having a great summer. All the transfer stuff I don't bother too much about.

@Davey more points dropped by United today.

71 points ?.


1.) 07 May 2023 21:31:03
Only 3 points off Newcastle too lol, not saying we'll do it but it's definitely squeaky bum time for both Utd and Newcastle - we need to win every game and just wait and see what happens in other games.


2.) 07 May 2023 22:07:47
Utd look leggy! Really leggy! There’s a glimmer of hope they both won’t us up their backside Brighton could be even closer!


3.) 07 May 2023 22:10:24
Only thing that matters Navy is that we get 71 points. Anything less and we are sunk. One game at a time. Three to go.

Like I ve always said, the 71 points gods will do the rest.


4.) 07 May 2023 22:35:01
Declan Rice today bossed that game, not sure I’d spend 80m on Mac alister without glancing that way first.


5.) 07 May 2023 22:36:43
Davey's killing it right now and at the same time, Utd (and prolly Newcastle) are bricking it massively with their fans on SM after their games. This is amazing. On to Leicester.


6.) 07 May 2023 22:42:51
Surely they won’t mess up in 2 games out of 4. Would they? ?.


7.) 07 May 2023 22:57:26
Brighton’s next 2 games are Arsenal and Newcastle away so it’s likely they will drop points. I could see both Utd and Newcastle dropping more points too.

Just keep winning and we’ll finish where we deserve to finish but it’s great to be in the hunt after such a torrid season.

Imagine the boost we’d get for next season if we do somehow manage to squeak into the top 4!


8.) 08 May 2023 02:39:00
Brighton will drop points w congestion and quality of opponent. Not worried about them at all. United have to win 3 of their four remaining games to beat us to 4th if we win out. I don't see them winning 3. GD isn't an issue. I think we finish 4th.


9.) 08 May 2023 03:10:31
Brighton will get 12 more points max. 67.


10.) 08 May 2023 06:24:07
We don't have the easiest run-in either. Playing away to both Southampton and Leicester, who are fighting for their lives to stay in the EPL, is going to be tricky. Getting 4th after the season we had would be an amazing accomplishment.


11.) 08 May 2023 06:51:27
Even if we don't finish in 4th, what a turn around from a couple of months ago when so many on here were writing the team off, doubting the manager, saying Trent needed a rest etc.
Yes, we need to add players, particularly in the middle, but there is still a core of quality there.
We can go into next season with some positivity and optimism.
Off topic, but am I missing something? I haven't seen a massive amount of him, but is Bellingham all that? I can't help thinking of all the players we would have love to have signed only to see them go elsewhere and do nothing. Even this season with Chelsea getting Enzo, previously with Utd getting Sancho etc. I'm sure he's a great player and will continue to develop, but I'm just saying that maybe he wouldn't have been our saviour and who knows who we'll sign. I hadn't heard of Konate before he signed, or Robbo, even Bobby. As for that Haaland fella, what a flop he's been :)


12.) 08 May 2023 08:43:54
That's it, Burkeyboy. Winning 9 in a row (unbeaten in 11, I think) would be a brilliant way to finish the season strong and get some momentum and confidence going into preseason. That's what I more excited about really cos 4th is not in our hands regardless of how exciting things look right now. I think the team is aiming for that while at the same time, asking questions of Utd and Newcastle to see if they have the guts to finish the job. We shall see.


13.) 08 May 2023 09:12:01
Said it a few weeks ago, will say it again. Bournemouth game will cost us in the end. So frustrating.


14.) 08 May 2023 12:14:19
Let’s hope you’re wrong Josh. No matter how it turns out I hope the powers that be don’t suddenly believe we are a top side that doesn’t need substantial investment.


15.) 08 May 2023 10:30:29
Imagine finishing 4th with all the money that comes with it. we could of signed Bellingham afterall haha. Still can't see us doing it. But how have manchester united got uo there anyway. Truelly awful.


16.) 08 May 2023 15:56:29
I just see tears at the end of the season. They won't be of joy.

He plays left wing cutting inside and shooting with his right.

Playing him on the right hand side where Salah plays wouldn’t work out.

In the same way that playing Salah on the left wing would take away all of his threat and what makes him world class.

@mftjones

It’s the same school of thought as posters that are asking where the Caicedo money has gone.

It’s not a pot of money labelled “transfer budget” sat ready to spend like on football manager back in the day.

Money will be made available for the right players at the right price.

“Promote Elliot”

And how long will that last before the fans are out for blood?

Let’s be real!

I think a LCB is much more of a priority

However, I actually think he’s a good player that improves us and has the potential to be an excellent player.

I remember not being too excited when Gini and Robbo joined and they went on to being two of my personally favourite (not best! ) players in the Klopp era.

Regardless of what people think of the Coaching team right now. Jürgen Klopp is still the man that made a team that conquered the world, and developed players that others saw as lesser at the time into top players (greater than the sum of their parts), like Bobby, Robbo, Gini, Henderson, Mane to name a few.

Allow him the chance to do that again.

“Gakpo is not the answer as a striker. Nunez is not clinical enough”

This is actually the main reason I DON’T want Danns to get more games. If we’re already saying that Gakpo and Nunez aren’t up to it then what are your reactions going to be when Danns misses a few chances or has a few bad games? Will he be written off too?

£85m down the drain; Darwin Nunez scores again.

AM is being played out of position and being exposed.

This is affecting his confidence and causing errors/ poor performance IMO.

I would move him out of that role and play Endo or Bajcetic, maybe RG.

Steady on Something Red

Personally the only thing that will make me think we MIGHT even do that, would be beating city.

As arsenal and we have proved in recent years unless you take points from that fixture, it’s very difficult to beat them to the title.

@Davey you’re on one my favourite posters on here mate but I have to say I was quite surprised about your post on RG.

He’s only been here for one game and is still a very young man (despite his big physical size and big price tag) .
