Hi all
I don’t know if this has talked about already but what was going on with the ref yesterday. He told the keeper to play on then when the keeper throws the ball out and Gakpo runs to score the ref blows up and tells the keeper to sit down brings the physio on. The keeper was literally pulling his socks up and not concentrating. This to me is a complete f**k from the ref yet again.

We have no chance of winning the league. City or Arsenal won't get beat for the rest of the season. We waste something like 25 minutes each game passing the ball across the back line instead of attacking. It's like the players have just stopped playing the system that put us in with the chance.
Something has gone on behind the scenes at Liverpool, another poor result. Klopp and Salah arguing in front of the cameras, the bench look like something out of Madame Tussauds, the players look like they don't want to be on the pitch. How can you be top of the league, 2 points clear and it falls apart? Has to be a reason and we the fans deserve whatever are the true answers.
28 Apr 2024 10:20:45
Hahahahahahah “we the fans deserve the real answers”
lol I’m all for fan power but let’s just know our roll here hahahaha
The answer may very well be that we lost momentum and weren’t able to get it back. But I think what you’re actually looking for is sort. So perhaps some reflection that no answer, real or not, is going to satisfy you!
28 Apr 2024 10:43:35
We will finish third. In all honesty that is where we are at. Currently the 3rd best team in the league that imo untill a few weeks ago punched above their weight. Credit needs to go to the manager and players for being in such a promising position. I had no great expectations this season which has once again given some good memories. Not far away so their are a lot more positives than they were at this stage last season.
28 Apr 2024 11:06:53
If someone said to me that only City and Arsenal would finish above us in the PL then I don't think I'd be looking too hard for answers.
Haaland, de Bruyne, Silva, Rodri, Rice, Odegaard, Saka, Saliba etc etc I already knew about.
Atalanta and United in the cups were different and harder to take. There are lots of reasons, I reckon, that we lose seven goals in those two games and don't score enough.
I think too much is being made of the Klopp and Salah disagreement. Had it not happened just after West Ham had equalised, I'd be a bit more concerned.
28 Apr 2024 11:25:15
The entitlement mentality reaches new heights.
28 Apr 2024 11:29:10
I Agree with Chrisp85.
The last month has been a bit disappointing but if you told me at the start of the season that this is where we would be now, i would have been happy.
28 Apr 2024 08:36:14
Apparently Geertruida was in the stands yesterday.
Maybe just fancied watching a premier league match but seems abit of a coincidence.
Any thoughts on it Ed's?
28 Apr 2024 07:26:28
It's very sad how some of our fans are turning on Klopp at the moment. How can it be so easily forgotten where we where when he came in and what he has achieved with and for us. If it wasn't for the sports washing team in Manchester he would of achieved a lot more woth us too. We've had so many amazing memories to look back on and achieved some incredible things. Even this season we should have been nowhere near a title if we're being honest with the number of injuries but due to a few bad games all the good things are forgotten by some. He isn't perfect but who is? He was perfect for our club in my eyes with his passion and personality. I for one will look back on Klopps reign as being an incredible journey and I can't thank the man enough for the memories he gave me. YNWA Klopp.

Post of the day.

"fans"
28 Apr 2024 08:16:44
Sadly, people have short memories.
28 Apr 2024 09:48:23
Agree, at the beginning of this season I would have taken where we are now gladly, but our expectations were built up by the performance up to now.
28 Apr 2024 09:59:18
It's funny that some of are them now saying he should have gone two years ago! They weren't saying that two years ago or even less than a month ago when we were top of the League.
The bloke helps put us in a position were winning League title and another two trophies is in our hands with less than two months of the season left but they knock him down when it doesn't happen.
Would we have been in that position had Klopp been let go two years ago?
I'd love to know which manager would have replaced him and made us at least League champions.
28 Apr 2024 10:25:33
Hit the nail on the head there Rigsby
Where were all these clowns 2 months ago?
Klopp deserves more respect from some of these posters.
28 Apr 2024 10:27:41
This seaaon we were puching above by getting late goals but it was clear the midfield was very thin. As soon as the forwards forgot their shooting boots, the results were normal.
This might be not popular opinion here the heavy metal style is passe. It cannot be sustained and had run its course.
The change to posession style was evolution with us getting to challenge 4 titles last time and again this season. only to loose out because of not taking chances.
I am not supporting inverted right back role at all but this thinking of going back to heavy metal style is not going to gurantee titles.
We should take it both wins ans losses and give proper send off to Klopp by appreciating the good times and not getting bitter because of these last 6 or 7 games.
28 Apr 2024 10:33:22
This is why the pramgamtists here so eagerly call out the “fans” who spend all their time criticizing the team and players when we don’t win yet sit silently when we are winning.
Because at the end of the day, you’re not actually supporting the club. You’re supporting winning trophies and that’s it.
28 Apr 2024 10:39:20
Doesn't matter if people think we've over achieved this season. we we're top of the league couple of weeks ago, in the FA and europa cup n suddenly fell apart. no one knows why, can't go from playing great to utter shte n not be questioned .
28 Apr 2024 11:02:21
I read a lot about tactical flaws here but I have a sincere question as I don't know much about football. Was it Klopps tactics that stopped our attackers from putting away the tons of chances we created as well? I mean, inverted full back or not, we created lots of chances which we never scored and that is why we are where we are today. I be the players the most personally.
28 Apr 2024 11:39:58
Questions should be asked, Stromsgodset. Some fans are rewriting history though. I don't think we've been playing great, regularly, this season though. Results were great despite the way we played, I would say.
I do agree that results and performances have dipped significantly in the past few weeks but questioning that is fine. What I find strange is fans giving the answers to those problems after the events. The manager, his assistant, a book, the kids etc. are emotionally bandied about without any real thought.
27 Apr 2024 23:13:44
Hi all, a lot being publicised about a certain Bruno guimaraes having a £100m release clause in his contract, what would people think of spending some of that Salah money on sorting our midfield? Absolute class player and would play that double pivot position brilliantly! Does beg the question why we were bidding over £100m for Caicedo when Bruno is available at that price! Wouldn’t mind stealing Isaak from them either the guy is absolutely clinical and calmness personified in front of goal.
28 Apr 2024 01:41:36
Would take both in a heart beat, Twitter seems to think Edwards wants isak but realistically I can't see us getting either unless Newcastle needs to sell for ffp.
Pretty sure they won't need to though, oil money talks.
{Ed001's Note - why is Edwards involved? Recruitment is not his job is it?}
28 Apr 2024 01:53:22
Some of that Salah money? How much are we getting?
Seriously though, I don't know if Salah will be sold or not but I do rate Guimaraes highly. It's just a feeling but I don't think he'd fancy us. I can see him going to City or a big club on the continent but I'm not sure who could afford him there.
I would take him, definitely.
28 Apr 2024 02:35:24
Bruno didn’t move last summer.
28 Apr 2024 10:08:50
Just the usual drivel on twitter ed.
28 Apr 2024 10:27:47
Yeah the idea that Edwards ‘isn’t happy’ with signings we’ve made and is going to chuck Nunez out for Isak, despite that not being his remit, is very funny to me.
27 Apr 2024 22:55:07
With slot being our new manager, do you think sepp van den berg will be given a chance for first team place. Playing very well in bundesliga too by all accounts. Also, is there any top quality players in Dutch league likely to join us. Often a manager from a certain league brings in a player or two from that league too.
What was the turning point for us this season. For me, it was the game at home v Prague. Ever since then, the team just didn't seem the same for some reason.
28 Apr 2024 01:40:24
Doubt it mate I think Mainz have a optional future fee clause so I think he will go there.
28 Apr 2024 02:17:08
If I had to pick one turning point it would be the draw against United.
It seemed worse than a draw because we murdered them but relinquished our control of the title race. We hadn't been playing well for a while in games but still mostly winning them. That one we dominated for large parts and ended up salvaging a draw but it didn't feel that way.
Not only that but we lost the next two games after that both at home.
Maybe that's just coincidence and a bad run was inevitable because of how we were performing though.
I noticed a change in mood of Liverpool fans, as well. After we beat Brighton and City and Arsenal drew, confidence soared. I don't think the draw would have been as damaging for morale had we'd played someone else. We should have won by at least three goals.
Anyway, it was the game before we lost back to back matches and I can't remember the last time that happened before then.
28 Apr 2024 10:01:40
We lost games because of poor defending, Klopps persistence with questionable tactics, and above all the forwards not hitting the back of the net. Get the latter resolved and the first two issues become irrelevant.
28 Apr 2024 10:41:26
A clean sheet means you have to hit the back of the net less often.
It might be an age thing but give me a clinical and professional 2-0 win over a 5-4 one anyday 😂.
27 Apr 2024 21:43:47
I am seriously worried that FSG got someone from Dutch League. I remember a certain Steve Mclaren who could not find a job in Premier league winning the Dutch League with FC Twente Enschede.
27 Apr 2024 22:39:24
Best thing to do is to not worry. I find it best when people are better than me at something, to let them get on with it. Especially when my reaction won't change a thing.
27 Apr 2024 22:52:44
Is it FSG or Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes? Think Edwards was brought back to see LFC rebuild again in he's watch.
27 Apr 2024 23:33:51
Who should we have got?
27 Apr 2024 23:45:01
I’d be more worried about our upcoming 6 pointers against Villa and Spurs given our leadership group are closer to throttling each other on camera, than they are to setting a good example or guiding us over the finish line.
28 Apr 2024 00:05:30
Leekuanyew
There is good reason to worry.
Equivalent to the Championship even though the Netherlands produces some very good players.
28 Apr 2024 00:05:55
It’s true, every manager that’s ever managed in that league is of the same standard :thumbsup:
28 Apr 2024 02:37:56
I’d be concerned if John Henry was ringing the phones to find a new manager. Thankfully he’s not
It’s a normal human thing to get caught up on the barriers. Allow yourself to put the barriers aside and just look at the person, what they do and how they may fit in.
28 Apr 2024 10:00:08
Leek, if you can genuinely name a better candidate (who actually wants the job, because Alonso didn’t want it), then go ahead and name them. Because not one of Tuchel, Mourinho, Nagelsmann et al would be remotely a good fit for us. Amorim, for what it’s worth, is probably the same level as Slot, as the Portuguese league is not a stronger league than the Dutch league and his record is vaguely similar, he ruled himself out of it with his antics, even if he wanted the job, he soiled himself in public so much that we offered it to someone who didn’t need to think twice. I’m impressed with the way Slot handled the question when asked, but also that he backs himself and is confident he can bring something to the team.
28 Apr 2024 10:31:34
Agree with that VV. The Amorim public apology was quite the humiliation. Initially thought it might have been a disagreement over strategy and his remit but perhaps it was over his behaviour. Flew to London to speak to West Ham for leverage perhaps? Quite embarrassing and glad we’ve got someone who backs himself this much, giving us a firm yes.
