Just to let you guys know Alison rumoured to be of interest to an Arab team just sold his house this is why i think he does not want to be here but you guys will not let anyone have an opinion but thanks for your comments I take them on board.
1.) 15 May 2024 09:42:09
He's far too good for the Arab league.
2.) 15 May 2024 09:51:51
He's sold his house because he's just had a brand new one built round the corner.

I would hate to be an apprentice at Real Madrid. what chance would you have? i say one in a thousand make it to first team because they buy players of such high quality and store them so other teams can't get them like this Guler kid they will be sold on like the lad at Arsenal.
When the price is right, I can understand why the other Spanish teams hate them give me Barcelona every time.
1.) 25 Jul 2024 17:37:10
They both have flaws. Barcelona was held back by waiting on the every whim of Cruyff for a long time.
Now it's sentimentality. Lots of very good la masia players were forced to leave because they couldn't get game time because they were catering to the older players - ironically this was something pep stopped when he was there and when he left they went right back to clinging to the past again
They're also very badly run club.
2.) 25 Jul 2024 18:28:37
They have a chance but really they just have to be very very good they don’t win everything by giving minutes to anyone. I’d imagine there facilities and coaches are to at good that even if they don’t make the grade they’ll move on to another good team.

In the late 70s, LFC played Arsenal if my memory serves me right three times in the semifinal of the FA cup first match and two replays and we were chasing the old div 1 league and the same players played only one sub. No free tickets, though. That was when the FAa cup was the biggest cup competition in the world.
1.) 24 Jul 2024 09:55:32
The only time, as a kid, that I was allowed the TV, was on a Saturday on FA Cup Final day. Grandstand from about 8am till the game had finished.
2.) 24 Jul 2024 10:04:07
I was at Villa Park for one of the replays. If I remember correctly, we lost the final replay at Highfield Road.
3.) 24 Jul 2024 13:38:10
This sequence of matches was in April 1980 and there were, in fact, three replays, four FA cup matches in all with a league game in between. We played Arsenal five times in 19 days!
4.) 24 Jul 2024 14:58:49
The whole concept just seems ridiculous to me, why replay? Money maker? Anyone remember golden goal as well? I used to like that concept.
5.) 24 Jul 2024 19:17:03
Thanks jack mytton for correcting me my memory not what it once was .
Also was it not the lad who scored the winner against Arsenal in fa cup final the year before who scored to knock us out . Must say i enjoyed football more then than i do now probly me just getting old .
23 Jul 2024 14:12:27
I really don't think we have seen the best of Dominic. I think he found it hard to settle in Merseyside as he said he was going home to an empty home. A year on he may of settled and can get on with his private life and have his head on playing for LFC. YNWA.
1.) 23 Jul 2024 14:30:20
He needs to raise this with the removal company.
Taking the p#ss really.
2.) 23 Jul 2024 14:30:42
Surely one of the posters could invite him over for pizza and bevvies and a few Blackadder re-runs?
3.) 23 Jul 2024 15:14:19
Got to love a bit of Black Adder. I reckon Szoboszlai would really appreciate the simplistic beauty of the the German Guns poem.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM! BOOM BOOM BOOM! BOOM BOOM! BOOM BOOM! "
"BOOM BOOM BOOM? "
"How'd you guess sir? "
4.) 23 Jul 2024 16:16:53
Or re runs of I’m Alan Partridge, with the premise being that it could be worse for Dom, as we were once managed by a Partridge facsimile in Brendan Rodgers.
5.) 23 Jul 2024 17:11:14
I would much rather bite my toenails off after I'd stood in dog poo.
6.) 23 Jul 2024 17:31:57
If Ikea is good enough for me it's good enough Dominik Szoboszlai.
7.) 23 Jul 2024 18:55:42
I know he’s a Liverpool player. But it’s hard to feel sorry for a lad who drives home after training in his Lamborghini and cries in his Mansion because he’s not quite settled In yet.
How’s about he tries a little harder both off and On the pitch and things will look happier for Dom.
8.) 23 Jul 2024 18:56:30
Yes, empty home of course, but he forgot to mention the medium hard mattress he was also forced to sleep on. Poor man. Ruined his entire season. ?.
9.) 23 Jul 2024 19:10:18
Don’t know why he didn’t go to Trent’s for a sleepover.
10.) 23 Jul 2024 19:11:04
ArAy1969 then, he should have visited the nearest Matress Factory warehouse. That would a "laid" the matter to rest.
11.) 23 Jul 2024 20:43:23
Loneliness and depression are not only for poor people, they don’t care about your social status.
I sympathise with the poor lad and hope he can develop his social circle soon.
{Ed025's Note - it’s massive to move to another country Ron and uproot your family. Yes the money is great but it’s not easy for you or your loved ones so I do sympathise with the guy I must say. Let’s hope things improve for him..
12.) 23 Jul 2024 21:07:51
Oli, you need a break for a couple of days. You're getting the common disease recognized here on this site; "Merseyside ha-ha". In other words, any feeble attempt at humour will do (Ed025 being one of so many examples) . ???.
13.) 23 Jul 2024 21:18:08
Ed025, is that a Stradivarius that you're using while playing the lullaby for our poor unsettled rich man? ?.
{Ed025's Note - im just a very caring person ArAy, empathy and sympathy are my middle names mate, just because hes a red makes no difference to me because no matter how much money you have the world can be a very lonely and sometimes cruel place, Everton In The Community taught me that..
14.) 23 Jul 2024 22:46:21
The legend Ian Rush really struggled to settle in Italy and was very much a flop - despite being one of the hottest strikers in Europe.
He came back to Liverpool after a very short stay because he couldn’t settle.
Straight back to Liverpool and banging in the goals again.
If it can happen to Rushie, it can happen to anyone.
I reckon Dom would give up his fortune to be happy.
15.) 24 Jul 2024 03:58:26
As Rushie himself said when he came back ‘It [moving to Italy] was like living abroad’.
{Ed001's Note - he never said that. Dalglish said it about him and everyone believed it. It was meant to be a joke.}
16.) 24 Jul 2024 07:21:05
I thought it might have been someone else at the club that said it but I wasn’t sure and thought I’d put it into the banter. Great line and a nice example of the King’s sly sense of humour which was often missed by a lot of people.
22 Jul 2024 08:59:03
Will LFC ever buy anyone in this window?
Will Trent and Virg stay or will they go?
Will Mo run his contract down and walk away?
Will we have time to replace any of these players?
Will Arne be the right man for the job?
Will man utd get the premier league with their new center half?
Will Arsenal blow the premier league again this season?
Will city ever get took to task over their 115 broken laws?
Will Everton get any more points taken off them?
1.) 22 Jul 2024 09:14:51
"These questions—and many others—will be answered in the next episode of . Soap. "
2.) 22 Jul 2024 09:29:58
Yes
I fear both may go
Yes on Mo
Plenty of time to replace players just not much time to get them a pre season.
Only time will tell but its a huge job
I think Utd will be better next season but will be challenging for 4-6th
If Arsenal sign a Striker i think it may be third time lucky for them.
Probably end up with a fine or if its a big points deduction then Arsenal will be there to take advantage.
Probably.

OMG I loved SOAP?.
6.) 22 Jul 2024 14:48:37
Ah, our usual summer of uncertainty! Here’s my take:
1. **Will LFC ever buy anyone in this window? ** Patience, my friend. We always plays our cards close to his chest. We might just see a last-minute swoop that catches everyone off guard. We will sign quality players that we need and can afford. Slot will have one eye on the next two windows on top of this one, he is planning for the long haul but things will happen.
2. **Will Trent and Virg stay or will they go? ** Trent is Liverpool through and through, and Virgil has unfinished business here. I'd bet they stay and lead us to glory.
3. **Will Mo run his contract down and walk away? ** Mo’s love for the Kop is undeniable, but the allure of new challenges can be strong. If he leaves, he’ll do it with a statue-worthy legacy.
4. **Will we have time to replace any of these players? ** Slot and the team will have a plan prepared and they will also have a contingency plan. Remember how seamlessly Jota fit in when he signed. We’ll be ready.
5. **Will Arne be the right man for the job? ** If Klopp believes in him, that’s all the endorsement I need. The man’s instincts rarely fail.
6. **Will Man Utd get the Premier League with their new center half? ** They’ve got a lot more to fix than just defense. A single signing won’t change their fate overnight.
7. **Will Arsenal blow the Premier League again this season? ** Arsenal’s consistency is their Achilles' heel. They might impress early but keeping it up is their real challenge. They will not be Top 3.
8. **Will City ever get took to task over their 115 broken laws? ** Financial fair play seems more like a fairytale, but we live in hope for justice.
9. **Will Everton get any more points taken off them? ** The way things are going, their best take it a game at a time and psychologically put themselves on -10 points at the start of the season and hope for the best. ?
In Slot we trust, YNWA!
{Ed025's Note - good post that Crieff and very optimistic...do us a favour mate, give Victor a ring and see if you can spread the joy to him.. :)
7.) 22 Jul 2024 14:52:45
Tune in next week, same bat time, same bat channel.
8.) 22 Jul 2024 15:54:14
Crieff living in fairy land, you don't think Arsenal will be top 3?
And i find it hilarious that "klopp believes in him", as if Klopp could give anything but an endorsement. "nah slots crap. "
I think it'll be a rough start to the season and its going to take time to bed down relationships in the upper management. I would be surprised if we sign too many.

A bit like my multiple choice effort for my Chemistry O Level that @Rom ….
A, B, C, D, E, D, C, B, A, B, C ETC.
11.) 23 Jul 2024 00:47:30
Not being funny crief but even if klopp did think Arne was total rubbish do you reckon he'd tell us?
The game is as much PR as it is tactics these days. I believe very little that someone says in an interview unless they're in an emotional state and blurt it out. Like good old Mick McCarthy.
12.) 23 Jul 2024 09:46:52
We were not present during interviews and conversations between Slot and the club before he joined so have no idea on his vision or plan that the club must have bought in to. Feedback from those who also care deeply about the club is pretty much all we have to rely on so far, if you disregard his career performance in a league significantly below the standard of ours and after managing generally less talented players.
The club chose him, and I believe they conducted their research thoroughly. Hearing positive feedback about him from those in the game and those connected to the club (and yes, I do understand how the PR game works) must be seen as a good thing.
After only eight weeks, I still have hope and faith.
17 Jul 2024 13:41:50
I thought England wasted the first 45 minutes because Spain were not on their game and if the manager set England to attack rather than sit back were still in the game at 0-0.
What the England manager said at half time was not taken on board because Spain just took the game to England and players got found out. Also by the way Spain took off the best midfielder in Europe.
The whole England team lacked the skill factor Spain had and poor tactics the best passer of a long ball was left warming the bench but had Pickford kicking the ball up the field with it coming straight back at England.
I have to say Spain were and are the best team in Europe and fully deserved their win.
1.) 17 Jul 2024 14:18:47
I don't agree that the England players were less skilled than the Spanish players, at all. The opposite might even be true. But I very much agree that the tactical system was not up to par at all, and that can make all the difference. Consequently, Spain were indeed the best team in the tournament and very much deserving winners.
2.) 17 Jul 2024 15:38:37
You do realise that Spain were not on their game because England were set up to neutralise them? Foden’s primary purpose in the first half was to nullify rodri first and foremost and not to get on the ball and create, defending the flanks was also very well coordinated for the most part because it was the foremost priority.
3.) 17 Jul 2024 16:15:51
Southgateball - so glad he’s gone.
4.) 17 Jul 2024 18:07:22
I don't get the hate for Southgate. I don't watch national football because I find it too slow, boring and safety first so Southgate playing rubbish football doesn't bother me at all.
But knock out football is about results and apart from Alf Ramsay nobody has better results managing England than Southgate. And it's not a fluke because he kept doing it over and over.
Id argue he's massively overachieved with England. he's had a poor defence, and shakey keeper for the whole time but decent midfield and forwards. But people think he should do better?
If Liverpool had a terrible defence and an erratic keeper everyone would be screaming for signings not expecting to win the league.
I think one day people will look back on his results and realise they were too harsh on him.
5.) 17 Jul 2024 19:58:46
The people criticizing Southgate for years has been entirely due to the defensive, dreary and drab style of tactical setup and strategy he has been using. Some of us want to see as much of offensive, attractive and efficient football as possible (with efficient meaning "with lots of goals") . It doesn't fit into your requirements of results first and style of play being secondary? People can be, and are, different.
6.) 17 Jul 2024 20:02:34
Couldn’t disagree more Nevada.
Southgate has done many good things for England but he has also benefitted greatly from the draw in those respective competitions.
World Cup 2018 knockouts we beat Columbia on pens, beat Sweden, got beat by Croatia and then lost again to Belgium in the third place play off.
Euro 2020 knockouts we beat an out of form Germany, Ukraine comfortably and Denmark (aet - with a saved penalty coming back to Kane for the winner) and then lost meekly to Italy on pens.
World Cup 2022 knockouts we beat Senegal and then lost to France.
Euro 2024 knockouts we scraped past Slovakia, beat Switzerland on pens, beat a poor Holland side in the last minute and got rolled over by Spain in the final.
Also worth noting that in two finals our main goal scorer (Kane) has had one touch in the opposition box. Across both finals. One. That is a damning indictment of Southgate’s football.
These last few years have been a glorious opportunity for England to end the wait and in time I think many will accept a braver manager might have created a golden period in English football.
7.) 17 Jul 2024 21:03:25
I have not particularly enjoyed England’s brand of football in the past 8 years, more starkly in the past three. However, people are forgetting how bad it was prior. Costa rica, Iceland, bejesus we were bad. International football, particularly international tournament football is not an entertainment business, it’s a results business. Premier league football is of course a results business, but it’s also very much an entertainment business these days. Most clubs can play a dynamic exciting form of football, because they have 38 matches to get enough results to stay up, or for a tiny few maybe even to win the league. If they don’t and avoid relegation they get to go again with huge financial incentives.
International football just isn’t like that, not factoring in that these guys are a team for only a few weeks a year. You get a handful of games, so win, draw whatever, all that matters is progression. If you don’t progress in one tournament you are probably done as the manager, regardless of how well you’ve done in other tournaments. All over between 3 and 7 games. All that considered, Southgate was a very good England Manager, yes he struggled to tactically adapt to teams of greater quality, but he knew how to set up to progress to the later stages of tournament football, he brought a grace, a sense of humour and integrity to the role. He’s also a very good people manager.
I think it’s the right time for him to go, I don’t think we can win a tournament with him in charge. He is just too cautious, he’ll always get us deep, but against the very best, he will be found tactically wanting. That said, I’ve had hope as an England fan, the same hope Klopp gave us back when he joined. I’m grateful for that. Let’s hope the next guy can do all the things Southgate did so well, as well as be tactically more astute, I can only think of one guy, who is available right now with those qualities, sadly I think he just set up home in Majorca!
8.) 17 Jul 2024 22:20:08
Patrk yes i no the set up was to stop Spain mate but was the score at the end of the game!
Maybe if England had gone at Spain from the off the result may of been diffrent.
Someone did not agree with Spain being more skillful than England well i watched all the games and i can asure you Spain are superior by a long way in the skill factor .
25 Jul 2024 22:35:37
Steve Highway tried his best to get Rooney to Liverpool when he was a kid but his granddad would not let him sing for LFC and Steve was a good judge of young players just imagine Fowler, Owen and Rooney as our front line scary.
Rooney was an outstanding footballer even if he was blue and a manc he was out standing.

19 Jul 2024 12:37:15
So if madrid tell players they are interested in them when their contract runs out why don't LFC make it clear to players of interest they are interested in them when their contracts run out we are a world renowned football club? That Bosman fella has caused football clubs a lot of trouble over the years with madrid the main winner out of the law change.
05 Jul 2024 14:50:24
That is the mancs trying to get one over on LFC de light he turns like an oil tanker another harry potato head for me . The mancs all over internet how they fought us off to sign him load of bs.

DCL is an average player that in a by gone age every team had this sort of player ten a penny.
26 Jul 2024 09:12:21
I would like to see the assistant ref have the spray can too and when the ball goes out for a throw in, he marks where the ball went out. Also, the player who picks up the ball takes the throw in. Arsenal have a dirty underhanded trick were a player picks up the ball, walks ten yards then drops it or gives to another player to take - very rarely picked up by ref.
24 Jul 2024 19:17:03
Thanks jack mytton for correcting me my memory not what it once was .
Also was it not the lad who scored the winner against Arsenal in fa cup final the year before who scored to knock us out . Must say i enjoyed football more then than i do now probly me just getting old .

You guys obviously did not get to watch the best of the best goal keepers Ray Clemence outstanding none of the keepers mentioned come close to Clem and Shilton and Bruce and Southall were fantastic keepers to .
