I'm surprised there's no talk of the red card on here. Are just resigned to poor decisions going against us or have I gotten this one wrong? For me, it was the softest red card I've ever seen. The lack of discussion has me over here folding my tin foil hat.
1.) 19 Aug 2023 20:03:32
There's plenty of talk about it mate.
2.) 19 Aug 2023 20:04:31
Poor decision compounded by an incompetent idiot on VAR.
3.) 19 Aug 2023 20:47:59
Anthony Gordon’s just there on Diaz was worse ??♂️.
4.) 19 Aug 2023 21:18:56
How many times does Gordon get booked?
5.) 19 Aug 2023 23:02:37
To be fair, nothing had been posted yet when I submitted the comment.
Also, happy to be corrected, but I don't think red tinted glasses are needed to question that decision; low challenge, never left his feet and contact was only made with the other player because of their follow through - there was no contact with the planted leg.
{Ed025's Note - sounds like the Bournemouth player should have been sent off instead...unbelievable..
6.) 19 Aug 2023 23:37:48
Sorry Ed025, but you've veered way off your usual "I speak the truth and tell it like it is" mantra. That was not a red.
{Ed025's Note - thats opinions for you ArAy..
7.) 20 Aug 2023 09:46:24
Ed025, if it's opinions about a 'borderline' (your word) call, why do you accuse some of wearing red tinted specs for expressing a different opinion on that 'borderline' call?
{Ed025's Note - because the view is not balanced Rigsby, the call is a 50/50 one yet on here its all one sided mate..
16 Aug 2022 06:21:55
I think the biggest take away for me this week is that we have ANOTHER early game next week?!? That's three in a row and two have been on Mondays?!? Did they revive Thatcher to make this schedule?
Ok, in all seriousness, I'm sure some others on here had already figured this out an moved on, but in my opinion, it's a conspiracy against us!
1.) 16 Aug 2022 08:01:50
What do you mean by another early game mate?
Playing on Monday actually means we play those round of fixtures last.
04 Nov 2021 06:35:34
Three players out with hammies now. I think I remember discussion on here about our physio. Could these injuries come down to the physio staff?
1.) 04 Nov 2021 07:48:25
No. Whilst we have three at the moment, when was the last one before them? Milner was also a fluke as he lost balance and overextended unintentionally with nobody near him.
2.) 04 Nov 2021 10:54:01
OP, hamstrings can go at anytime even during pregame warmups or pretraining stretching sessions. No point trying to over think it, IMO. It's life.
3.) 04 Nov 2021 11:00:29
Whenever we get a few injuries the ol physio gets lashed outa it😆.
4.) 04 Nov 2021 11:27:29
JH, Same ol' stuff, I guess.
5.) 05 Nov 2021 16:25:43
Totally willing to accept it's just chance we've just had 3. I was only asking cause I thought I remembered one of the eds bringing up the fact that we have/ had the same physio that was at arsenal during their torrid run of soft tissue injuries (though idk how long ago it was said) .
04 Sep 2021 22:28:14
Curious what people think: Could Elliot play central? He's doing great in the mid, but we have other options there for now. Ox or he seem to be our best no 9 options after jota with firmino and mini injured.
1.) 05 Sep 2021 01:42:58
I remember Ian Astbury from the Cult flooring Eusébio in a charity MTV 7s football match, Eusébio was lucky not to need a hip replacement after that!
2.) 05 Sep 2021 03:27:21
I think Elliot’s best position is where he can get time on the ball to pick out passes and drive attacks rather than as a no.9. Attacking mid or wide IMO are his best spots for now until he gets fully comfortable at this level - and Mane/ Salah are capable of playing CF.
3.) 05 Sep 2021 10:56:06
OP, I think Elliott is being taught the Klopp system by playing in the 8 first to get his hands dirty on how things are done and prolly with time, we will know what his best position is, sane way it was with Gerrard when he came into the first team and played in multiple positions before settling in a position best suited for him. Give it time.
4.) 05 Sep 2021 10:57:42
If we have to we could play 2 up top and Elliot in behind.
5.) 05 Sep 2021 11:44:36
From what little (admittedly) I’ve seen of Elliott, he doesn’t look to be blessed with pace or even a fast change of pace?
If this is the case, playing further forward may be a problem, and perhaps that midfield schemer-type role is better suited to him?
{Ed001's Note - he is quick and does have a change of pace too.}
25 May 2021 18:01:42
Is there any chance (or plan) to transition TAA into the mid? I know it might seem crazy to move him out of RB but maybe a RB would be easier to find than a mid? Either way, I think he'd do really well next to Thiago/ Hendo. I'm curious if anyone else is thinking the same or has info on his situation.
{Ed025's Note - he sees himself as a future midfielder snuggerpool, myself i think he should stay where he is..
1.) 25 May 2021 18:52:56
This subject has been raised so many times and there is no chance he is moving. Far to good in his position to move I think but guess we will never know until he plays there.
2.) 25 May 2021 19:07:19
If neco proves himself maybe he can force a change for Trent? I guess at the moment, moving Trent to midfield will mean buying a right back.
3.) 25 May 2021 19:22:28
OP, done to death, man. Trent is staying put at RB for the foreseeable future. In any case, why move him to a new position when he is killing it at his current position where he bosses games from?
4.) 25 May 2021 20:29:40
If it ain't broke and all that.
We've just spent a whole season with players being played out of position, I'd prefer a season of stability before any experimenting!
5.) 25 May 2021 20:32:56
Forget the number on his back. He already spends much of a game beyond the halfway line, takes corners and free-kicks, often pops up in the box and chips in with the odd winner. Sounds like a midfielder to me! It's modern football. Don't worry if you can't get your head round it- neither can Gareth Southgate ;)
6.) 25 May 2021 21:07:07
Moving TAA into midfield it's not easy as U think neither he will be effective as playing RB for us atm
Playing at RB in our system gives TAA lots of space from our box to opposition box and he can affect games with he's quality.
Playing him in midfield will be wasted coz won't have much space and will be easily crowded with opposition players.
We don't have to worry what Southgate or he's staff think abt TAA. We just have to be happy he has been Unbelievable for US playing at RB.
Southgate is safety 1st manager, always has been that's not our problem if he wants to Play defensive football despite having lots of attacking talent.
If he's more worried abt Trents defensive awareness then he's end product to the likes of kane, Rashford, sterling etc then he's not going to last more. U need to take some risks if you want to win bigger prizes. I'm sure the likes of kane, Rashford, sterling etc will want those deliveries put by TAA.
{Ed0666's Note - I’m not sure you’re theory is conclusive mate. Good players adapt and somebody with trents ability surely can. Look at Beckham he had a fabulous & decorated career with mediocre talent but worked really hard. Trent is twice the player Beckham was and moving to RM I’m sure would be meat and drink for him. I truly hope he doesent tho because replacing him at wing back is near enough impossible and gonna be ridiculously expensive. Although I like the look of Walker -Peters who I’ll be watching out for next season.
7.) 26 May 2021 00:26:27
Ed mate I don't see Beckham playing midfield in today's time. Today is all abt covering the ground running, working to keep the ball then looping it consistently from midfield.
Even box to box midfielders are rare in today's time it's all abt technicality and passing the ball rather then running from deep tho. Football has changed a lot with young and current managers.
{Ed0666's Note - With respect mate Beckham did an insane amount of work off the ball that’s why fergie loved him so much. He certainly made the most of his limited ability but boy could he cross a football.
8.) 26 May 2021 02:50:28
TAA crossing is just as good if not better than DB.
9.) 26 May 2021 10:12:35
Personally think Beckham is massively under rated, would put him above Scholes for me, because he left United as he did he doesn't get a mention. Best English midfielder United have had in the Prem Era.
10.) 26 May 2021 10:42:42
Indeed, Ed666. Becks was a workhorse off the ball and did some serious hard running and graft for Utd esp in their pomp. Limited ability, technically? Yes, I agree BUT he could bend a ball around a tornado and that took some doing. TAA is twice the player Becks was and is just as good at bending a ball as Becks was. But Trent can do a whole lot more esp from deep hence, he should stay at RB. I also like your shout of Walker-Peters from Saints. One to watch for and seems to be one of the very few fullbacks who can keep Mane in check.
17 Jan 2022 19:10:29
Love the rumor! The financial detective work is refreshing and even more exciting than someone friends ex-mum who has a one night stand with mbappes dog walker while on holiday.
04 Sep 2021 22:22:13
I hate internationals.
20 Apr 2021 18:27:45
Thanks for the reply Ed. I didn't know Liverpool and MU refused to discuss UCL changes. It makes this whole situation even more irritating. I know the answer is money, but I just don't see why any clubs would look to leave their domestic league. It seems crazy.
20 Apr 2021 17:38:51
I think you make good points RedFlag. I think this is a terrible idea also, but there's a reason all the big clubs have agreed, and it's not because their completely ignorant of the fans feelings or beastly devils. It's business.
I also wonder why the UCL didn't take this threat more seriously or do more than restructure the competition. To be honest, I don't have any personal attachment to the UCL (I love the competition and seeing Liverpool playing in it, but do I feel any loyalty to the actual UCL? Not really. ) Maybe I'm alone here, but because of that I wonder if there's a way the ESL or the UCL could be restructured to be more appealing to both the fans and the owners? Maybe the "big clubs" could be given more enduring spots that wouldn't guarantee them a spot but would allow them to stay after a year or two of poor results. Obviously the owners want more financial incentive (you have to wonder why the UCL doesn't pay clubs more; if anything the ESL has shown that clubs could be making more than they currently are) and more security for their investment (not qualifying now means not long loss of revenue but that recruiting players becomes more difficult making future qualification harder) .
Finally, just want to reiterate that I am not at all in favor of the ESL, but I do think it's important to see both sides when trying to look for solutions. One final question: why does the premier league care about ESL? Do they feel threatened that teams will eventually leave altogether (because I find that hard to believe)? Are they just trying to protect the integrity of football? Or are they just cozy with UEFA?
{Ed002's Note - They have engaged with others about options and they have also just made changes to the structure. Liverpool and Manchester United are not interested in engaging with them, they want power, control and more money and to replace the CL. They did not engage or talk to them at all. Yes they are concerned about the 21 "eleite" clubs, or in all probability 16, leaving at some point.}

I HATE international duty/ teams/ friendlies. The football is terrible too. Why can't it all just go away?
11 Apr 2024 22:54:14
I wouldn't touch Isak and don't see the allure he has to some on here. I understand it feels like we need upgrades to take advantage of the chances we make but he's not it. I just don't see him contributing to the team other than scoring which doesn't suit us at all. Much better options for us, and Isak is at his level for me.
09 Feb 2024 16:55:03
Done to death, but I totally agree with everyone who says it's a terrible idea because the refs can't be trusted with the power.
It's a terribly dumb idea, but the dumbest part might be the name: sin bin? Really shows the level of genus we have officiating doesn't it.
06 Feb 2024 18:56:59
I haven't joined in awhile, but I'd love to be able to chat in this new wholesome venue. Please add me if you please!
29 Nov 2023 17:41:03
I just don't get how people are still howling about VAR and crying for it to be removed. It's like screaming at your umbrella for making it rain. VAR is not some black box or flawed in itself - it's just a second layer of officials making decisions and it's the current officials that are the problem.
OP here seems to have some other delusions fueling their opinions, but I've seen lots of otherwise reasonable people blame VAR for the current state of officiating and say it needs removed. Again, this is like smashing your umbrella to fix the rain. If you think there's too many poor calls from the officials+VAR, imagine what it'd be like if you just had poor officials and no process of reviewing their initial calls. The current officials are the problem.
I hate to dilute my point but I don't want these two separate issues conflated: the officials should be protected from the players/ managers, but they are far too protected with no accountability for their performance. There is no system of review or consequence for being a poor ref which is part of the reason they have become so poor (I think the other part is money i. e. corruption but that's a different post) . They have to be held accountable, but obviously not by players/ managers.
26 Oct 2023 17:53:39
The other point that gets overlooked by people who try to claim that early fixtures after internationals equally affect both teams is the larger number of players that Liverpool have traveling long distances compared to other teams. Having multiple south American starters means that smore of our team is still recovering. Compare that to a mid-table team with few or no starters recovering from travel/ international duty and it's a significant advantage in a competitive league. So it usually advantages our opposition since it's rarely another top 6 team we play in that situation. The other part that's unfair, is that other top teams who would have players in the same position rarely gets this disadvantage.
