{Ed007's Note - Ed001 has been getting some shut eye since Ed033 said he's allowed to stay up for Wrestlemania tonight. You should have seen the size of his smile while he was putting on his John Cena PJs shouting something about 'Yipee! If I go to sleep it will come quicker! Pump it up, pump it up - it's time for Wrestlemania!'}

Just back from a phenomenal day at Anfield.

Was great to see Flanno & Lucas back out On the pitch .

Hopefully both will be back regularly as we have missed them both so much.

Tierry Henry was a class act too, as was all of the guys who turned out, if only we could turn the clock back a few yrs and get them signed up we'd be absolutely cruising.

Main talking point in the Centenary Stand before the game was what reception Torres would get and how he would look alongside Ed2's favourite player ha ha .

Well it's fair to say the Prodigal son returned big time as the reception he got was great to see and I think surprised him too.

The truth about his departure I'm sure will come out one day.

I know this was just a charity match but both defences, including Carra were not for giving away anything lightly with good calibre in both.

Suarez & Torres linked up superbly and the ' if only ' thought came in regularly throughout that 2nd half.

If it becomes clear that the likes of Vietto etc will not be coming in the summer, with the board seeing the crowds reaction to him, would a bid for Torres be totally out of the question and if so do you have any idea how much he would cost?

I really don't think Torres will ever come back mate.

Agree4 Disagree2

30 Mar 2015 07:39:39
Don't think it would happen myself Kaizer and ideally would like to see someone else but in football strange things happen.

Ability wise he seems back at a decent level and if the price was right I'd take him

Agree1 Disagree3

30 Mar 2015 10:08:28
Because he's had two months where he hasn't been exceptionally dreadful (still a long way from anything over 'decent') we want him back? Are you serious?

Agree4 Disagree0

30 Mar 2015 12:30:42
Let's put it this way, if Lambert, Borini & Balotelli move on in the summer, which the Eds have confirmed the club have already tried to do, if we only have £20m available to spend on one striker, due to FFP constraints who would you feel would do better and give the place as big a lift?

Going by yesterday the fans would clearly accept him back.

If funds are restricted and we have to go with status quo or Sturridge, Origi, a rejuvenated and motivated Torres, Sterling and academy as back up I'd take the latter

Agree1 Disagree2

30 Mar 2015 15:09:47
If Torres is the best you can do then keep your money! He's gone. He forced his way out, has been awful for 5 years, amongst the worst strikers around. I honest can't think of anyone who had his service and still flopped. He's had a kind of decent run since returning to Athletico but hardly worth justifying money spent and reserve team players. To talk about having him in our squad, never mind spending £20m (and are you forgetting or just choosing to ignore his big wages) on him is truly absurd, and is the type of comment that has made our club a real laughing stock of late rather than the victim of viscous jealousy it once was (and all top clubs are). Torres back - let's get Crouch back and all, maybe Robbie Keane, N'Gog, Le Tallec and Sinema-Pongolle as well.

Agree1 Disagree4

30 Mar 2015 18:27:03
It's very easy bud to sit and type he's sh*ep so is he etc without coming up with better options.

This lack of goals was widely predicted by all this season due to the standard of striker we have and will cost us our champs lge spot this season.

If you had a transfer budget of say £20m who would you sign instead who would do better or as you say would you do nothing and keep the strikers we have.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Mar 2015 03:21:25
Torres was finished the day he forced himself out of the club and IMO, even he knew it afterwards.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Mar 2015 08:03:38
My first line is the better option - keep your money. Sturridge, Origi, Ojo, Sinclair, Sterling, Ibe as the forward options. Torres is a very expensive answer to nothing.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Mar 2015 17:29:37
Hey guys hope you are all good and enjoyed the match. I didn't get to see all of it? Whose song was sung in the second half? Hopefully Luis Garcia??

What a GREAT day at anfield the greatest fans and club in the world great to see such a great turn out from players and fans that's what football is all about.

What the hell has been going on here over the last couple of days?
A see Ed002 is getting a lot of stick "for what".?
We have to realise that these guys give there free time to update us fans, yet take so much crap in doing so. IMO there are to many of you hating this player and that player.

Yes some players might not be good enough, or worthy enough but come on this surely comes down to Rodgers. Rodgers signs the then, plays them out of position and doesn't play to there strengths. So the blame stops with him as he is the manager "hopefully not for much longer" and only him.the owners have the clubs best interests, there new to football and have made mistakes like us all that's what makes us human, I've convinced they will succeed tho.

Only Rodgers is to blame so let's lay of everybody else owners, players, future players and most importantly the EDS as they do a great job, but I fear the damage maybe done, let's hope not keep up the good work EDS some of us do appreciate it thanks.

Couldn't disagree more. None of the Eds give up their free time. It may be free to us but they pay for it one way or another. They could 'spend' their time working, making memories with the family or ultimately stress bloody free. A few people would like to see the site developed and a subscription put in place and it may be the best thing ever. Then the morons/trolls will rue the days they came on solely to abuse and wind up. Maybe then the idiots can be blocked from accessing site.

And I'm not knocking any one for difference of opinions. It's the way some people reply and abuse someone we all love. Be as clever or insulting as you like to my post but I bet you all agree this is our first port of call for info and the most reliable.

Agree2 Disagree7

29 Mar 2015 20:13:39
The thing is, although I agree that the was give up their time and put a lot of effort (sometimes for nothing), but I think we get as good as we get. Some people that don't get posted will just be ignored by the eds, but sometimes someone will post a genuine opinion or question ans get totally shut down as if he/she is an idiot. I understand some eds might have something against a set of fans or might have a bad day but that sort o attitude will only attract abuse. I'm no expert but I'm sure not all of the eds are doing this for free, but if that is not true, is imagine ed1 or ed2 telling me I'm a person that doesn't know what he's talking about, why should I hear that?

Agree2 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - it is just me and Ed033 that don't do it for free, the others do it for nothing. Why shoud you hear it? Because so often the stuff spouted is just idiocy, so why should people not be told? We get so much stuff that can't be posted because of abuse, yet we can't even point out when someone is being clueless? So you are saying we should pander to you, why? What makes you so special that you have to be treated like some sort of princess?}

29 Mar 2015 22:22:48
To be fair don't want to pander to anyone but similar to our finances don't think anyone should focus on whether the eds do it for free or not.

Should probably think that it is a FREE Site that provides a reliable source of information and a forum to discuss football. As great as eds are, there are also great people who post on here who make it as well. Tbf eds normally have some great knowledge and normally answer my inane questions and some don't get posted or moved to a different page but have to think get a numerous post/responses everyday. If not regulated it would be about as useful as skysports comments page. End of the day eds provide good knowledge and posters provide good topics (sometimes) to discuss.

As my mum said, "eat it or make something else"

OP how is it all Rogers fault for everything that ever goes wrong at lfc

We miss out on top.4 he looses his job and I bet it won't be long before you blame his replacement when we lose a game or 2

Just waiting to go into Anfield, can't wait to see some past faces! A great occasion, sensing a bit of sourness on the site at the moment! Cheer up everyone.

Believable3 Unbelievable3

29 Mar 2015 15:39:53
I'm jealous I won't even get to see it, and even more jealous I won't in person.

Also, I wanted to apologise for getting a little fired up last night towards Ed002. I had been drinking a bit watching my Kentucky Wildcats play, and signed on here and saw some idiot/cretin remarks and it just fired me up. I do think we could all be a bit nicer to each other though.

29 Mar 2015 14:04:51
2 players I'd take back in a breath are Reina and Alonso. Great to see them back at Anfield today.

Bloody hell the comments on the site the last day or so are particularly nasty. I suspect a lot of people have either lost track of, or don't actually know what banter is. Banter is supposed to be a light hearted bit of craic not a spiteful tirade of abuse at someone. I propose we all write a little ditty to the Eds to show our appreciation. Here's mine:

Our dear Ed2, you know we love you,
We appreciate the job you do,
And even tho you support Chelsea,
We consider you part of our family,
We'll try to be behaved as best we can but tell me, are you a woman or a man??

You keep us updated with your views and insight,
Even if people are talking shhhhhugar (edited for your convenience ;-) )
So I'll wrap up this ditty to our beloved Ed2,
And on behalf of us all I'll say thank you! - But seriously are you a man or woman? It's not a big deal I know but curiosity gets the better of me at times haha

Believable8 Unbelievable5

{Ed002's Note - You are very sweet. A nice bottle of wine and good steak dinner and I can be whatever you want.}

You're too easy Ed 2.

29 Mar 2015 15:25:10
Hahahaha next question should be. do you think you're more attractive as a man or a woman?. I'm slightly disturbed.

Hi Eds
What is the updates an player exits this summer? It is highly likely Lucas will leave and probably Ballotelli, Lambert & Borini but is there anyone else apart from these and Gerrard of couse likely to exit? Has there been any updates on whether Toure is staying for another year as I feel he would hold up the next stage in Wisdoms development!! Who at this stage may be the replacements if all or any of the above leave??

Believable0 Unbelievable2

29 Mar 2015 12:45:07
Lambert almost left in January and will likely move on in the summer.
Balotelli isn't happy at Liverpool and is looking to move on.
Borini will surely move this summer.
Aspas will be sold.
Alberto hasn't shone in Spain and will likely go.
Gerrard as we know will leave for America
Enrique doesn't look to have a future at the club.
Johnson will leave in the summer when his contract expires.
Toure will likely leave at the end of the season when his contract expires.
Coates will be sold.
B.Jones will also leave.

That's 11 very likely departures this summer and personally, I'd add Mignolet and Skrtel to that list. Both are good players but they don't fit our style of play. I'm not keen on Allen either but we are quite thin in terms of midfield depth, so I'd give him one more season as a squad player. Hopefully the club will then replace Gerrard adequately and bring in a top ST, GK, CB, and RB.

Red Rum

Agree2 Disagree6

29 Mar 2015 15:38:37
I would keep Migs and sign a quality GK to challenge him for the starting berth. Allen needs to go, he has had a couple of decent games but he is simply getting in the way of youth players like Rossiter and Williams who could probably do as good a job. Skrtel hopefully will go and the Sakho-Lovren or Sakho-Ilori CB pairing is given a fair shot to improve our defense. Manquillo is another who contributes nothing and his loan should be terminated to give Mcalughlin a chance. A quality GK, ST and CM should be signed in the summer.

Agree2 Disagree5

29 Mar 2015 09:57:50
Any truth in reports claiming Milner has decided to join Liverpool?

Believable1 Unbelievable1

29 Mar 2015 11:11:25
I believe he cannot agree to any PL side as it now.

29 Mar 2015 17:41:21
I'm sure with Milner it will depend on top 4, will it not?

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Mar 2015 18:59:01
I think he will come with game time agreed to and without top 4 won't he ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I don't know, it would really depend on the other offers made.}

29 Mar 2015 09:43:09
Supposed to be going out at 3. Does anyone know if a repeat of the charity match will be shown in the evening or at a later date? Really want to see Torres and Suarez play alongside each other!

Also having trouble getting on the Liverpool site as it keeps flashing up with "error", ugh.
