Anyone buying the new jersey sign up with Nike and you'll get 25% off I think the offer ends tomorrow.

I'll be honest I don't really care if Slot plays possession football or uses inverted full backs. If that is what he specialises in then I 100% want him to bring that style to the club with him.

Alan Sugar always says (every year) on the Apprentice, do what you know. It applies to every profession and every walk of life. If you focus on what you are good at you will succeed. Where I think it went wrong for Klopp was when he watered down the gegenpressing tactics with hybrid possession styles he either didn't know how to coach (making him too reliant on Lijnders input) or that he maybe even didn't truly believe in. Who knows, but that is where the progression halted for me.

People can call City boring but winning 2 or 3 trophies a year? I'll take watching boring 3 or 4 nil wins every weekend if it brings silverware. As long as Slot stays true to his philosophy I will be happy. If his tactics mean Trent will continue to invert or we'll persist with a slower build up, then that's absolutely fine as long as that is Slot's philosophy and what he specialises in setting his team up to do. Do what you know.

That style has thwarted this team. I will cry if i see us continue with inverted fullbacks especially trent. This is why i liked the idea ir amorim. Actual WIDTH. Trent is terrible through the middle. His best football is on the right and we need width back. How depressing.

The last thing Slot needs to do is come in and try and be Klopp. Needs to be his own man as long as he games and silverware he can do it how he likes.

The difference is City have the money to buy so many world class/ excellent players. I don't think replicating their tactics is going to automatically bring success.

MIZER, Man City play with width though and they invert the full backs. They do it by asking guys like Doku, Grealish etc to hug the touchline.

The problem is that we've not implemented the tactics correctly and we've not bought the right players consistently to play that way. Slot knows how to get his system to work, so he should stick to his beliefs regardless of what us fans say. We'll all be silenced if success follows.

Two questions for Ed1 or Ed2, whoever wants to answer it. So the Premier League clubs have voted in favour of these new spending rules, which I'm not at all surprised by. As it might legitimately be the only way to stop City from winning the next what 20 titles or so.

My question is 1) with english clubs being limited in general spending, which I assume include player wages as well, doesn't this just lead to the Premier League falling behind the leagues with more economical power?

Which leads to 2) with City and Utd (and Villa) voting against the rule, and with question 1 in mind, do you think this might be the catalyst that ends Premier League (as we know it) and pushes the Super league closer to being a reality? Even if other clubs voted in favour of the new spending rules, I could see some of them turning their back on this new Premier League format if the Super League becomes an option.

{Ed002's Note - (1) Other leagues already have restrictions. (2) No, it has nothing to do with the Super League and is not something that will end the Premier League. It is one of a number of changes that are coming.}

Even though I agree it's time to sell salah . part of me will be heartbreaking to not have him in the squad. As he as been a outstanding player over the years for us and scored some incredible and so important goals be hard to take not seeing him in our squad. ynwa salah.

Cheers mate but it's my time to go I'm afraid. :) .

So Salah is going to run his last year of his contract down and leave on a free. Whoever's decision it was to reject that Saudi offer last summer's head should roll.

Hope he likes life on the bench.

30 Apr 2024 21:32:09
He won’t be on the bench he’ll be starting giving the ball away and being carried.

01 May 2024 07:48:27
I mean he’s still our top scorer and assister so assuming we take that £100 million right at end of the window, obviously can’t get a replacement because it’s too late, almost certainly finish this season out of the champions league spots but we have all that money in the bank you’ll be happy? Real football fans care about what they see on the pitch not about the bank balance.

01 May 2024 13:36:20
The decision to reject that bid at the end of the last window was absolutely the right decision. There’s no way we’d be able to replace him at that point last summer. That said I don’t believe that we’d be too badly off if it happened this summer and we sold at the end of the window as his decline is so sharp that his not being in the squad won’t make a difference from the new season, as what I can see on the pitch is a man whose time is up, which was not the case last summer.

Amorin, if Salah was sold last season you would have probably said “ we’d have won the league if we didn’t sell him, heads should roll”.
Hindsight is wonderful and you can’t please all the fans, especially the negative ones.
A new era is upon us, thank you Jurgen for all that you’ve done. Welcome Arne, I look forward to what you can do.

Good news that there won't be an end of season parade unless we somehow win the league. Having a parade for winning the Carabao Cup would have made us an absolute laughing stock.

01 May 2024 07:49:01
Yeah, our fans do that enough as it is!

01 May 2024 13:41:00
Why don’t you go and support another club then TB2? One with better fans perhaps, ah I forgot if you did that you wouldn’t have any fans to critique would you? Being the perfect fan of Liverpool fc and all. You Tracy Island troll.
