Very important question? . who is breaking it too mo he needs to sort the hairline!
1.) 01 Jan 2024 23:34:43
As a very bald guy I can’t talk but yes his hairline is creeping back and it looks like he’s got a bald spot on the crown. However none of that matters when he scores goals in the quantities he does. 150 PL goals for Liverpool. Awesome.
2.) 01 Jan 2024 23:45:42
I love the guy he could have what ever hairstyle he wants he is a legend. wonder if we will ever see skin head mo .
3.) 02 Jan 2024 00:43:22
No way. The power is in the hair.
I sometimes think Nunez should cut his hair. A little bit because it gets in the way in some games and he ends up having to redo it. But mostly I think he will somehow become Lewandowski 2.0 when he does a magically start converting all his chances. There. I said it. The hair is holding him back.
4.) 02 Jan 2024 03:44:20
Lol love it hail mate, I would give the job to Robbo and Konate or if I was going for a kinder approach Cody all the way.
5.) 02 Jan 2024 06:31:39
He's not going to the afcon, he's going for a hair transplant.
6.) 02 Jan 2024 12:25:46
You want someone to cut the hair of Samsun? It won't end well ;)
7.) 02 Jan 2024 13:02:05
I thought he was modelling it after his fav simpsons character, krusty the clown.
8.) 02 Jan 2024 14:20:19
It might be me imagining it but I seem to remember Mo having a hair cut a few years back and being rubbish until it grew back. Also his hair was short at Chelsea. So the power is definitely in the hair.
29 May 2023 10:18:02
I hope we are looking at Rabiot of juve he is a baller but also has that physicality along with the skill, free transfer would be nice and proven quality experience, world cups, psg and juventus.
{Ed002's Note - Adrian Rabiot (CM/DM) Juventus are looking to replace their midfield misfits (Zakaria, Arthur, McKennie, and Rabiot). They are looking to sell and move off the wage bill players they no longer want to fund replacements they have already identified. Rabiot will, like every other player, be offered to Newcastle. A third party has been instructed to find him a new home and whilst he could have been used in part exchanges previously he has let his contract run down and will leave as a Free Agent in the summer. He was offered to Chelsea as part of a deal for any of several Chelsea players Juventus are interested in, but Chelsea wanted to keep transfers as clean as possible. With Manchester United struggling to find midfield players, he becomes a squad option but the wages being asked could kill off any deal. A return to PSG is seen as an option but PSG have preferred targets. Monaco is a good option. Approaches have been made to Barcelona - but they will look to others, and Arsenal who have a much preferred target but should not be discounted. Liverpool, Everton and Spurs may provide options having scouted the player on more than one occasion.}
1.) 29 May 2023 11:12:08
Hailstones, that is what you hope for?
We definitely do things differently.
PS there’s no such thing as a free transfer.
2.) 29 May 2023 12:25:00
Rabiot is quality, better than all our current midfield.
3.) 29 May 2023 13:23:37
There kind of is though FP. Obviously wages and a possibility of a signing on fee but there is no fee for the transfer itself.
21 May 2023 14:48:08
Ed 02 I respect u get asked a lot of things you can't be assed asking but specifically do you know of any Defensive midfielders that we could be seriously looking at? , as we seem to be looking at 10s and 8s which is important but nowhere near as much of a priority as the defensive side of our midfield.
{Ed002's Note - I previously listed them for you.}
1.) 21 May 2023 20:18:24
Thanks all the same ed is it in the chat or a seperate bit.
{Ed002's Note - it will be on the Rumours page.}
17 May 2023 18:45:15
I wonder if there is still interest in Sangare of PSV I could see him fitting in nicely in the English game. Mainly a defensive midfielder but has an eye for goal whilst being a unit.
{Ed002's Note - Lots, but not from Liverpool.}
1.) 17 May 2023 19:04:52
My personal opinion on Sangare is he is solid defensively and works hard, but lacks the quality on the ball to play for a Premier League team with Champions League aspirations.
2.) 17 May 2023 19:43:36
Ed02 are you the fabled oracle, or is you just a sorcerer like me julie.
3.) 17 May 2023 20:09:41
Yes MK I have heard he is a good player for us but at the same time heard he is a bit rash and could get caught in transition.
18 Apr 2023 20:12:34
I am preying we are looking at kephram thuram and he would be up for playing for us, absolutely everything we need and dare i say better than mr B.
{Ed002's Note - Have you tried searching.}
1.) 18 Apr 2023 20:41:51
Hi ed i think i have seen PSG want him, why do you think we will make a strong effort to sign him? I would imagine the cream of the crop are interested.
{Ed002's Note - I have explained the interest over and over.}
2.) 18 Apr 2023 21:13:54
Sorry forgive me ed, i missed it .
{Ed002's Note - You are forgiven.}
3.) 19 Apr 2023 04:05:12
Also you shouldn’t be preying.
4.) 19 Apr 2023 08:21:25
Concerning hailstones. If we end up signing him, please don't eat him.
5.) 19 Apr 2023 09:31:29
Watch out for hailstones, he's a wolf!
6.) 19 Apr 2023 08:19:55
That's how Ed025 met his wife Waqas.
{Ed025's Note - my bird won the lottery with me stuie. ?
7.) 19 Apr 2023 12:35:30
Ed was she flicking together with her friends?
{Ed025's Note - everyone flocked around me when i was younger mate..
8.) 19 Apr 2023 15:39:35
"everyone flocked around me when i was younger mate"
"Even the Sheep"!
Only a wind up Ed025!
9.) 19 Apr 2023 14:29:53
Flicking? That’s a personal question to ask about Ed25s partner….
10.) 19 Apr 2023 16:17:17
Ed you might be the new and possibly the most qualified candidate for up your own head 11 captaincy mate.
{Ed025's Note - thats why i have such empathy with my mate trent waqas.. :)
11.) 19 Apr 2023 16:38:36
Hailstones we are one of them cream of the crop teams your on about we are Liverpool football club.
12.) 19 Apr 2023 17:51:17
On a serious note with Thuram, I'd make him plan A. I think he's incredible. Powerful, fast, strong in the tackle and he's 6 foot 4. Yet he has unbelievable close control and dribbles out of tight spaces like he's 5 foot 8. Attribute-wise I think he might be the perfect midfielder, he doesn't have a weakness. If you can improve his decision making and get him tactically set up to play in a top team you'd be looking at one of best midfielders in the world. Like a hard-working Yaya Toure. Can we sign him please? Happy to start a gofundme. Thanks.
13.) 20 Apr 2023 14:15:06
Absolutely Thomas, you're spot on. I place Kephren Thuram right behind Bellingham on the list of "most désirables".
14.) 20 Apr 2023 16:08:00
Is K Thuram a friend of Konate anyone know? May help if we are in for him.

Maybe we should of let mo just grow his hair out ya know guys . I regret pointing out his hairline, its obvious his dip in form is down to the haircut.
1.) 19 Apr 2024 18:30:02
I remember people saying that about Torres with genuine sincerity lol.
Maybe if we got Mo on finasteride and rogaine he'd wind the clock back a few years?
16 Apr 2024 00:56:47
No wonder this team is looking fatigued we have had to come back from teams scoring first in 27 games 21 in the Premier league . The mental fatigue I feel is catching up with us now going behind missing loads of chances when we should be scoring is really caught up to us to the point its drying up.
1.) 16 Apr 2024 07:58:49
This is why Robertson saying the forwards need to take their chances didn't sit well with me. Focus on your own game pal. We only have 2 defenders who can say they've played to the level they are capable of this season; Bradley and Quansah.
Virgil has dropped the ball in several games with his strolling around, Robertson and Trent have been absolutely cooked repeatedly on the rare occasions they've been fit, Tsimikas and Gomez have proven yet again that they're mid-table players (at best) due to a lack of ability to consistently trap or complete a pass, Konate has completely failed to up his game even remotely and has arguably regressed positionally, and Matip is less robust than a McDonalds straw.
The defence has completely and utterly failed us this season. If we didn't have Alisson/ Kelleher behind them I think we'd be down with Villa and Spurs scrapping for 4th, never mind the title. The defence is heaping pressure onto our forwards every week and like you say, that constant demand on them can only be a bad thing in terms of mental and physical fatigue.
On a more positive note though, just wanted to elaborate a bit more on Quansah and Bradley. To make the step up from league 1 and look this good at 20/ 21 years old is exceptional. They both deserve a massive amount of appreciation. In a season where the senior defenders forgot to show up, they have dug us out of a hole and helped us massively in some very big moments. If all the hard work at the academy starts to pay off by giving us 1 or 2 young lads of that calibre each season, then the future is very bright. So I don't want to come off as too negative, despite the clear need for a defensive rebuild!
2.) 16 Apr 2024 09:05:52
In fairness MK the Defence as individuals have been poor on occasions but defending happens very much as a team.
There were times in the last two games that the forwards and midfielders didn't track their runners and looked like training cones out on the pitch.
3.) 16 Apr 2024 09:07:20
It's an astonishing stat isn't it. It's remarkable that a team that has conceded first and started so poorly on so many occasions was top of the league so late in the season.
I saw another dreadful stat yesterday regarding the "big chance conversion" of our five strikers. All poor. Nunez in particular, 6 out of 32.
So it's clear we have been poor in two of the fundamental areas of the game. That we (be it manager, coaching staff or players) haven't been able to change that over a long period of time is problematic.
Watching Liverpool this season has often felt like watching the same match over and over again. Start poorly, often concede first, lots of possession but don't create much with it, too many speculative long range shots, and the few good clear cut chances we do create and often missed. For as long as we were dragging ourselves over the line with a late goal, we were all happy but that sort of form always catches up with you in the end.
4.) 16 Apr 2024 11:45:29

Exactly, RR. It almost felt like this was expected which we all knew deep down was never going to be a good thing but as fans, we were cool with it overall cos well we were winning.
Personally, I thought we would improve on these things with the injured players coming back BUT alas, it seems like the coaching staff either could not be arsed to do better or were just as blind to the effects these trends would have on the team in the long term. Well, "the long term" is here now and the results are in. Not good.
5.) 16 Apr 2024 12:26:31
Robertson has been the only player starting that shows energy and urgency, he can say what he likes until his own performance level drops, and that won't happen with him.
6.) 16 Apr 2024 13:13:47
I'd be interested to know the percentage of converted chances this season. It seems every match, we have 20 odd shots but only around 5 on target. It isn't a one off either, surely that stat tells the coaches something isn't working, forcing the players to just have useless attempts at goal.
7.) 16 Apr 2024 13:11:34
FSG, Robertson has been way off his best this season. He's been struggling with injuries and he's been getting taken apart by some of the better wide men in the league as well. Throw in that his assists have slowed down too and he's got absolutely no right to be pointing fingers anywhere until he is no longer part of the problem. He set the bar very high but it's not good enough by those standards he set.
Personally I'd shift Tsimikas this summer and sign a new left back who can gradually phase Robbo out. Or at the very least give him a kick up the backside to sort his form out. It says it all about Robbo's form that at times, Gomez has been picked ahead of him to start this season despite being a centre back with his own form issues.
8.) 16 Apr 2024 18:37:37
MK scouser, jones is not of the elite standard that LFC need just because he comes from Liverpool that does not make him an elite player and for Gomez he is another one as is Timikas these players are not getting us to the level we all want I know their reds and i don't want to sound like i am slagging them i am just making an observation do you think any of the three players would get in a city side or Arsenal or even man u time to move them on and sign top elite players or we will always be second best to the big spending teams.
14 Apr 2024 23:06:18
For me nunez is not a striker I would rather see him on the left wing or sold, for our next game I want too see gakpo on the left his natural position, Jota down the middle and szbozlai on the right wing the position he thrived at in leipzig which he scored goals and created assists. I hate the way we buy players and play them everywhere but there best position.
1.) 15 Apr 2024 07:32:34
Did Nunez play on the left for Benfica ?.
2.) 15 Apr 2024 11:02:24
Yeah cos it's Nunez's fault we had 60 misplaced/ mirubbish passes in the first half alone? . Oh and it is Nunez's fault that Jones, Jota, Salah and Diaz could not score or that Salah played his worst game of the season, right? Or that Klopp could have taken Salah off way earlier but didn't do it, yeah? Take the day off, mate.
28 Feb 2024 22:08:07
Getting lallana vibes of Bobby Clark, he is ready for 1st team action now .
1.) 28 Feb 2024 22:58:33
I didn’t think he played that well. Him and McConnell both seemed over awed at times and played the safe pass far too often. Would have liked them to be a bit more fearless and grab the opportunity. Both seem to lack pace and desire to track as well which was a bit confusing given their age - thought they’d be sprinting everywhere.
Quansah, Bradley are levels above all the other young kids in my opinion although the 16 year old looked quality and koumas and Dannys did well.
2.) 28 Feb 2024 23:15:34
The game needed to settle down then you seen Clark grow into the game the pace is something they all need to adapt too of the English game rather than the reserves. I thought mconnell was steady many levels to go up, koumas looked like he was over excited as expected, danns I honestly think is a cracking substitute option to learn his craft of the bench.
3.) 28 Feb 2024 23:45:46
Clark was very good.
Yes Quansah and Bradley are the stand outs. They are exceptional.
Koumas looks a Real talent but way too lightweight right now. Because he is eighteen. Same with Nyoni because he is 16.
Danns, McConnell and Clark will all improve their power with some growing.
Clark looks a talent to me and for better as the game went all. They all have work to do. Even Quansah and Bradley. But they are all doing exceptionally well at this stage of their career.
I like Clark. He makes a lot of really smart decisions on and off the ball. I have high hopes for him.
4.) 29 Feb 2024 00:27:23
Clark played very well Brummy. McConnell played the safe pass too often but I thought Clark was excellent. It was his positive run and pass that created the space for Koumas’s goal.
5.) 29 Feb 2024 00:39:03
I'm glad I didn't seem them sprinting everywhere. Think that shows a player with no compsure and just wants to "be seen" to be having an impact.
6.) 29 Feb 2024 00:54:42
I like Danns.
That kid is a natural, he moves like a striker.
He has great vision and anticipation.
He’s a future star that kid ?.
7.) 29 Feb 2024 01:03:43
“Lallana vibes”?
I don’t remember him doing 1 Cruyff turn so he’s clearly not Lallana-like. ?
Good little player though ?.
8.) 29 Feb 2024 01:23:17
Being as diplomatic as I can, I believe it is difficult to single out one of the youngsters in a very inexperienced side playing under extreme pressure and say that they didn’t meet expectations. It’s difficult enough for a kid of 18 (or even 16) to slot into one of the best club sides in the world and to look like he’s played there for years. To try and do it in a team where there are four or five other kiddies in the same boat actually makes the result we got on Sunday and tonight incredible. As I say being judgemental is the circumstances is a tad harsh. I’ll leave it at that.
On a different note - is anybody offering odds on a Liverpool vs Chelsea FA Cup Final?
9.) 29 Feb 2024 08:12:26
The really positive thing with our youngsters is that they all believe in themselves, they will make mistakes and sometimes make the safe pass. but more they play u can see them improving, but Danns n Kumas look natural strikers . goals for each in their 1st n 2nd games. amazing.
10.) 29 Feb 2024 09:53:01
All the kids have done brilliant but Bradley, Quansah and Clark have a different aura about them when they play. They look like a natural fit in the team and a maturity in their body movements and fluidity separate them from the others.
Not to take anything away from the others - Danns clinical and instinctive finishing was stunning - I hope we get to see more of him over the rest of the season, Koumas didn't do anything negative and was the only Liverpool player to actually have a shot on target in the first half - you can't argue with a goal on your debut and McConnell was solid again in midfield after helping our midfield dominate Chelsea's in extra time on Sunday.
The future is bright.
11.) 29 Feb 2024 10:29:25
Danns, Cannonier, Doak, Gordon and Koumas. Let's see which ones make it to top senior level.
12.) 29 Feb 2024 12:13:04
Hailstones, “Lallana vibes” already? How many games has Clark played/ or how much have you seen of him for you to draw such a conclusion or to think he is ready fro regular first team action?
13.) 29 Feb 2024 12:39:21
Danns gives me Kane vibes. Good positioning, good runs, composed finishing and decent in the end. Fingers crossed he keeps progressing we might have a star on our hands.
27 Feb 2024 01:06:22
Joe gomez is a true legend already in my eyes to come back as many times as he has and show how important he is to the team . I hope he stays his whole career with us.
1.) 27 Feb 2024 06:32:46
He can blow hot and cold but I agree he is hugely underrated as a squad option. That he can cover the whole back line makes him very important for me and I can't see the club wanting to sell him. An unsung hero and I forgot how long he has been with us. Longest serving squad member probably?
2.) 27 Feb 2024 06:33:22
I like what Klopp said about Joe a few months ago - when asked about Joe Gomez and he basically said along the lines of, he had injuries etc but because he’s our boy we stuck by him in a way some other clubs might not.
I think this is the loyalty bit that some people may critics Klopp for but I find it endearing.
3.) 27 Feb 2024 06:37:00
Just checked. He's 26 and will be due his ten year testimonial next year. Still a big part to play for the young man for several years to come I think. Hopefully he can break back into the England squad, especially now GS has admitted he's not picking players based on minutes for their club and he's certainly better than Maguire and Cody.
4.) 27 Feb 2024 10:01:00
"he had injuries etc but because he’s our boy we stuck by him in a way some other clubs might not. "
This! Many of us stuck by him too cos me personally, I always knew he had the ability to bounce back (cos well, he is that talented) provided we, the club and the manager did not quit on him. And most importantly, provided he did not quit on himself. Hats off to the lad and frankly, a true gentleman judging by the way he speaks.
5.) 27 Feb 2024 10:15:30
Joe has had a great season so far and I'm delighted he has as he seems great lad.
6.) 27 Feb 2024 10:26:05
Got to be in the conversation for player of the season for me.
7.) 27 Feb 2024 11:42:42
6 Gold Stars, I wish there was an award called "Comeback Player Of The Year" like they have in the NFL cos I think JG would win that in a landslide, IMO.
8.) 27 Feb 2024 12:22:41
He is having a great season and boy have we needed him.
9.) 27 Feb 2024 12:49:48
The versatility is priceless, the quality in passing is very underrated, his spirit is unbreakable, his defending has had dips but overall he is a beast and lastly the man is one of our leaders.
10.) 27 Feb 2024 16:22:09
Every team needs a James Milner or a Joe Gomez. Someone with experience who can come in and fill a variety of positions when things don't go according to plan. And who don't utter the slightest complaint because the needs of the team come before their individual needs. Going 2 or 3 deep per postion is the conventional wisdom in a squad, but having such players makes squad management so much easier.
11.) 27 Feb 2024 18:10:11
Only player to be a part of the whole Klopp era. He’s been great this season.
12.) 28 Feb 2024 09:45:16
He is indeed Liverpoolfc8, that’s no mean feat?.
13.) 28 Feb 2024 14:04:43
Anyone else remember the spat between Joe and Raheem Sterling. The vision of Sterling rising up to his full 5 foot 9 to try and go face to face and toe to toe with Joe was very funny. Joe just kept his dignity. A credit to himself and the club.
16 Apr 2024 01:01:24
Go away niko.
02 Apr 2024 14:33:36
He might want to go to Barcelona.
12 Feb 2024 16:16:07
Really hope so!
30 Jan 2024 17:56:28
Maybe because he wants to manage ajax.
29 Jan 2024 11:18:14
I really like ruben amorim he has achieved a lot in his short career he speaks english if he has a genuine desire to manage us i would be happy, he is going under the radar but could be a shrewd option.
15 Apr 2024 13:33:16
The lad was bought as a left winger we have consistently played him everywhere but left wing an klopp said the other day the experiment of gakpo in midfield was a failiure, szobozlai was bought on the back of playing as a right winger scoring and assisting for 30 goals for leipzig and we play him in midfield.
07 Apr 2024 22:39:13
Arsenal have been lucky with injuries this season. Their 2 main defenders, who are tremendous, have been fit all season with rice and other key players mainstays.
04 Apr 2024 23:16:21
People underestimate gakpo he is a squad rotation left winger who is flexible and been played everywhere but left wing . He deserves patience.
01 Apr 2024 15:11:20
We need to learn from past experience stay humble and go about are buisness professionally. we are in squeaky bum time.
28 Feb 2024 23:15:34
