Hi Eds and Reds I hope everyone is doing good. Ed01 I would like your opinion on something. We had our first cleansheet for the season and VVD wasnt in the team. Could it be that VVD is somehow causing uncertainty at the back?
Could it be that maybe our midfield is just getting to grips now and protecting the defense better?
Villa has been playing some good football this season but they were no match for us. Something has changed and Im loving it but I don't know what it is.

fsadulla

{Ed001's Note - Villa were poor against Newcastle and are missing most of their first choice back line. I don't think VVD was an issue, the slight tweak to the system was more important than him not being there. I doubt having him there would have made it worse.}


1.) 04 Sep 2023 13:00:10
Seems the tweaks worked yesterday BUT with Villa sitting off us, it may be too early to tell if the tweaks will work till we play a team that will press us.


2.) 04 Sep 2023 14:55:52
I can only see it being better if a team presses us Oli and I think Villa had that plan hence why their back line is so high so they can squeeze the pitch. I just think they were afraid to commit to the press because of Trent’s ability to pick a pass and bypass them. It just left them high up the pitch with no pressure on the ball which we know from painful experience means we ran in behind them for fun.

It also means that Trent isn’t having to worry about players pressuring him from all sides like he is when he’s in midfield. He can see everything in front of him.

You mean schtick or twist @Oli? ?.

Hi Eds and posters

It seems Liverpool have now become the Arsenal of old. When players are at other clubs, they are never injured but when they are at Liverpool they always pick up injuries. Szobo not even here 6 months and already picked up a knock, Mac the same.

fsadulla

1.) 05 Aug 2023 07:18:39
If you're using Szobo and Mac as an example then how about Keita getting Injured in the warm up before his first game for Bremen? Or Mane getting a big injury playing for Munich before the 22 WC?

Sorry but you're wrong.


2.) 05 Aug 2023 07:27:08
Fsa, not really accurate re Szobo, JK said if it was a competitive game he could have played, as it’s pre season no Rick was taken.


3.) 05 Aug 2023 08:17:42
Now is not the time for taking Ricks.


4.) 05 Aug 2023 10:14:05
Ricksy business if you ask me.


5.) 05 Aug 2023 10:43:23
Fsa, none of what you say is true cos your comparisons are way off. Sorry, bro. You missed the mark by a long mile.


6.) 05 Aug 2023 10:45:21
With all the negativety, just know, I'm never going to give you up.


7.) 06 Aug 2023 00:09:29
Sportsmen picking up injuries shocker. Time for the club to start employing robots, the amateurs.

They may as well just keep a copy of the message handy for frequent reposting.


2.) 21 Jul 2023 06:56:35
Bloke was the laziest sicknote this side of the channel. Now he’s the laziest sicknote on that side of the channel. Embarrassed at myself for sticking up for him as often as I did when he was here. Was going to compare him to Balotelli but at least Balo actually got on the pitch.


3.) 21 Jul 2023 16:34:08
He was a far better signing than Balotelli. We can all be disappointed how it turned out but he played a genuine part in us winning everything. He done much more for us than someone like Lallana or others who don’t get half the stick Naby gets.


4.) 21 Jul 2023 17:06:03
Disappointment begins early, I guess. At least he's letting the Werder fans in for what they're in for.

OneKiss - I would strongly dispute that Naby has done more for us than Lallana, who made 50 more appearances, didn't have to be hooked after 60 minutes in more than half of them, scored twice as many goals and played well fairly frequently in his first 3 seasons.

Ox might be a more valid comparison, but I'd still put him ahead of Naby on the basis that he actually tried when he was on the pitch.


5.) 21 Jul 2023 18:11:17
Yeah, Ox and Lallana don’t get half as much stick as Keita because those two were far better players who tried much harder for the team despite probably having less natural ability. The blokes a waster, something Ed002 told us as such long before he joined us.

Hi reds and Ed01

I have question regarding our goalkeeper situation, over last few years. Before Alisson came in goalkeepers at LFC somehow got worse, maybe they weren't very good goalkeepers to start off with but they certainly did not improve by being at LFC. But recently we can see keepers are actually getting better or staying the same but they aren't getting worse like before.

Somewhere around the time we signed Alisson, i recall we signed Man Utd's former goalkeeper coach.

Is this part of the reason why we are doing so well in this department now?

fsadulla

{Ed001's Note - the coaching has improved. Added to more staff, it is also Achteberg improving as a coach. He finished his badges around the same time as well.}

Hi Eds

I hope all of you guys are doing well. I have a question about work permits. It has always been very confusing to me how some players get permits and others of the same nationality and age dont. For example Martinelli, a young Brazillian gets it but other young Brazillians dont. Utd in the 90's could always sign Argentian, Brazillian, Check, all nationalities and others had difficulty.

fsadulla

{Ed002's Note - A good question - right now it goes something like this:
- If the player is an EU citizen he is allowed to work in the UK without the need for a Work Permit or Visa under the provisions of the treaty covering free movement.
- This also applies to uncontracted players under the Bosman Decision.
- Players from outside the EU need Government Body Endorsement and a Work Permit and the rules are stricter than they were (see at the end).
- There are different types of Work Permits available and typically two apply to footballers. Tier 2 means that the player can stay in the UK with a two year extention if they have 70 immigration points (which requires an FA endorsement, 10 for providing proof he won't be a strain on the state and 10 for the command of the English language (important). A Tier 5 WP only lasts a year where failure is on the English language test. It allows him to play and then master the language, sit a test and then apply for Tier 2 WP. Extensions can be provided to the length of contract.
- Moving forward post Brexit there is no decision but it has been discussed. One idea on the table is that any new application for EU citizens to move to the Premier League or move between PL clubs) will be the same process as for non EU players, and that players already at PL clubs will be given an exemption for the length of their existing contract.

If the player is not an EU citizen, the Work Permit requirementsare something like this:

The player needs a minimum of four points and summary goes something like this:
- The value of the transfer fee (alone) that is to be paid is between the top 75% and 100% of all transfers to Premier League clubs in the previous 2 windows - 3 points
- The value of the transfer fee being paid for the player is between 50% and 75% of all transfers to Premier League clubs in the previous 2 windows - 2 points
- The basic wage (excluding bonuses) being paid to the player by the new club is in the top 25% of the top 30 earners at the club - 3 points
- The basic wage (excluding bonuses) being paid to the player by the new club is between 50% and 75% of all the top 30 earners at the club - 2 points
- Subjectively, the player’s current club is in a recognised "top" league and the player has played in 30% or more of the available domestic league minutes - 1 point
- The player’s existing club has played in the group stages or onwards of the Champions League, Europa League or the Copa Libertadores within the last 12 months and the player has played in 30% or more of the available domestic league minutes - 1 point.

There is still an exemptions process.

What used to happen:

The situation with work permits used to be that a player will be granted one if (a) he had played 75% of games at full international level for two years for a country ranked reasonably high up by FIFA (top 75), (b) if he was deemed to be a major talent as reflected in his price, or (c) if an exemption is applied for and granted under the "exceptional talent" provisions. For example, if a case is made to the authorities that a young South American is a demonstrable talent and clearly one for the future, it should be reasonably easy to have an exemption granted. If however, a pretty much run of the mill or average player was being bought and it was clear they are not appreciably better than those which could be found locally, or are being bought because they are cheap, then it will be much more difficult to obtain a work permit. The downside of the system in the UK is that the "bigger" English clubs can cherry pick the decent talent available and can obtain exemptions, and the rest of the players are assumed not to be talented enough for an exemption (as Chelsea or Manchester United etc. don't want them) and therefore obtaining the exemption is much tougher. Some players can obtain work permits through their parents or grand parents being English.}

Ed do clubs have people in place that already scout players who could fit in the wp criteria or scouting is completely unrelated?

{Ed002's Note - Scouts are not concerned with WPs at all.}


2.) 09 Feb 2020 16:31:44
When I first read these new rules seem to give at least a bit of hope for players from lower-ranked countries. But again, it seems the monies involved in the transfer need to be astronomical for a player that is unproven which then makes it almost impossible.

{Ed002's Note - They are there to stop clubs filling out the squad with cheap imports to try and give HG youngsters a good shout at a chance.}


3.) 09 Feb 2020 17:18:21
Ed, do the Bosman rules apply outside of Europe? And if they don’t, do you see there being any chance that things could change here post Brexit?

{Ed002's Note - it is related to European Union law and it could theoretically be impacted by Brexit but common sense will likely prevail with tweaks to UEFA rules. It is not finalised yet.}


4.) 09 Feb 2020 18:50:09
Work permits reminds me of one of the harder football quiz questions I've had
Who has won league titles in 3 different leagues.
Has an italian passport but never played in Serie A.
Signed for 6 clubs but only played for 4.
Won less than 50 caps for the country they represented.


5.) 09 Feb 2020 20:08:19
martin Demichellis.


6.) 09 Feb 2020 20:17:14
name an ex footballer, and yes he was a good one, is the only premier league player whose last name is completely made up of Roman numerals.


7.) 09 Feb 2020 22:38:24
Ed 2 I love the bit about the english language, half the players in the premier league would fail that test.

{Ed002's Note - Keita did as you know, and Minamino has yet to learn English.}

Thank you so much Ed02 for the detailed explanation.

{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}


10.) 11 Feb 2020 07:20:10
Do you think clubs ever try and push through a work permit by offering money or something to those in charge of are the consequences of such actions too serious for anyone to try any funny stuff with?

{Ed002's Note - Many years ago clubs had committee members watch trial games to support talent based applications but that was stopped.}

There was a point where Rafa was managing Chelsea and got Torres scoring again with special leg strengthening training. Rafa knew him best.

He didn't score in the Gerrard slip game that was Demba Ba. Torres scored the winner in the Champions League final and Gary Neville had an orgasm.
