Hi Ed001
To me it is quite the Dortmund nightmare happening in Liverpool, which is once again the 7th year coaching time of Klopp.
If you were Klopp, with your hands tied in the transfer window, what will you do to make things happen again?
I am really appreciated for you sharing professonal football information.
Have a good one.
{Ed001's Note - Dortmund was different. Players were constantly sold out from under Klopp, eventually that just took its toll. Even so, the 7th year they just didn't get the results their play deserved, a bit like us right now just missing too many chances. If that is fixed we will be fine, like they were.
As for what I would do if I was Klopp, I would stop moaning and making excuses about pitches and injuries and signings. The club tried to get the player he wanted, but he only wanted Madrid, so clearly they will find the funds if the right player is there. He needs to go back to basics and get the missing intensity back in our play.}

The midfield players can’t really do intensity to the level they used to, which in turn makes the high back line a big issue. As for missing chances I disagree completely the opposition has far more clear chances than us so far this season.
2.) 26 Aug 2022 12:23:41
Ed, have you read Lijnders book and what do you think about him writing one and launching it in pre-season?
{Ed001's Note - I haven't read it nor do I have any interest in it. I don't like these things they always seem to come out and the team's form falls apart. Save this stuff for retirement.}
3.) 26 Aug 2022 12:34:08
Ed001 mate if you have time, what's your opinion on pep linders. Do you think he's getting ahead of himself with all his interviews, book release and patrolling the technical area designated for managers.
{Ed001's Note - yes. It is starting to look confusing as to who is the boss. You need to have one clear leader. }
4.) 26 Aug 2022 13:00:58
It's more of a 7th season with a low net spend and Klopp not having the squad he deserves, being low net spenders every season and needing top class players gets you in this mess.
5.) 26 Aug 2022 12:51:06
Another one if you may ed001. Do you agree with people saying that klopp is sometime too loyal to his player? Player that should not been given new contract but got one, player that underperform but still be selected to start etc. It got me thinking that some of it is true. What your opinion though?
{Ed001's Note - yes it is his big weakness.}
6.) 26 Aug 2022 13:33:02
I know people are looking for a story or an angle and the seventh season thing looks to be the latest. After three games!
What about the fifth season injury list, all centre backs being injured and the midfielders covering the centre being injured? When we signed Kabak on loan?
If Klopp's seventh season is as and as his fifth then there might be some in it but until it is I'm putting it down to superstitious nonsense.
Come on, Redmen.
7.) 26 Aug 2022 13:12:20
Thank you Ed001 for your comments on this thread.
Some sensible thoughts at last.
I was getting pretty fed up with all the panic and knee jerk reactions we have had since the start of the season.
{Ed001's Note - it is the same all the time, everyone judges everything on one game when the season is played out over 38.}
8.) 26 Aug 2022 14:26:27
Cheers, Ed. I am inclined to agree with you that it was a really stupid idea writing/ releasing that book.
When they filmed the book launch at the training ground all I saw was cringed and puzzled player faces when being handed the books by him.
Is he just a bit, much?
{Ed001's Note - I think he might be getting a bit carried away with it all. It is becoming more about Pep than Klopp and that should never happen. Klopp is too generous with his praise for others and too modest in talking about himself. Pep needs to remember that his time will come and there is no need to chase the spotlight, it will happen for him if he just bides his time.}
9.) 26 Aug 2022 15:21:03
Ed001 couldn't agree more mate. He should remember he is an assistant and cut out the crap. He should remember what he is employed for. Wouldn't mind so much if he had any success attached to him but he got binned from the only managers job he ever had in the dutch league after a few months. Living off klopps name and success. Really beginning to irritate the life out of me.
{Ed001's Note - he is obviously a big part of the success, but only a part.}
10.) 26 Aug 2022 16:50:18
Shows how simple people are. The only similarity between this season and klopps 7 to at Dortmund is we both going through a crap load of injuries. Dortmund got most of their big players back around Christmas then went on a run to charge up the table. And they lost a final.
11.) 26 Aug 2022 17:09:57
If Klopp was still at City he’d still have Hart Kompany Delph Fernandinho Silva Aguero Sterling. I don’t think Pep gets attached and friendly with the players like Klopp does. Has its pros and cons. I still see people saying Milner brings ‘experience’ to the team, that’s what he was there for in 2015 this team has won the lot they have experience themselves. I don’t think Pep could have done the rebuild job Klopp did with us but Klopp i don’t think could have done what Pep did at City either. I think we all want Klopp to be a bit more ruthless.
12.) 26 Aug 2022 17:31:28
heard Pep Lijnder is mates with Dan Brown .
13.) 26 Aug 2022 17:55:35
'If Klopp was still at City. '
If he was, I'm sure they'd have won a European Cup. They haven't.
Constantly comparing ourselves to City is getting pathetic.
Come on, Redmen.
14.) 26 Aug 2022 21:59:56
When was Klopp at City then?
I must have missed that one.
01 Nov 2021 17:00:47
Dear eds
I can't believe it has been 10 years for me for reading this page.
I just recalled one of the editor here shared his view on King Kenny signing Hendo and seen him as future Liverpool's and England's captain.
I would be appreciated if someone could quote the whole story again and cheers for King Kenny signed a great player for the club.

Do you think vvd has been leaving a space for the opposition to shoot intentionally as he knows Allison is positioned rightly?
It seems to me they have been practicing that.
Thanks for your time.
1.) 02 Feb 2020 10:42:12
Why on earth would VVD deliberately let the opposition shoot!
2.) 02 Feb 2020 12:49:14
I can see where shaunhk is coming from. he left space for the striker to have a shot yesterday. Weather is him being a tad lazy or letting him strike I don’t know.
3.) 02 Feb 2020 12:57:33
I think he means he sometimes allows the attacker to shoot from tight angles and blocks off the pass into the middle of the box. VVD plays the percentages better than any other defender.
4.) 02 Feb 2020 15:56:24
I heard Gary Neville recently say that Peter Schmiechel told his defenders not to stick a foot or a leg out at a shot going past them as any deflection would cause him more difficulty than dealing with the original shot. Maybe there is something similar going on between Alisson and the Liverpool defenders?
5.) 02 Feb 2020 16:02:45
Maybe it's a directive from Allison so there's no deflection on the ball?
6.) 02 Feb 2020 16:09:14
Spot on Mark it’s about decision making. How many times do you see Virgil back off rather than diving in for balls other defenders would go for and miss? Sometimes I think he just encourages players to shoot if the alternative is more dangerous.
7.) 02 Feb 2020 18:21:19
He covers more dangerous passes and leaves a shot open that alisson is more than capable of saving if its crossed in alisson has to reposition himself just a numbers game and faith that alisson is as good as we think he is.

Dear ed001
May I ask you to have a player profile on Harry Kewell, Luis Garcia, Sami Hyypia and if you don't mind, Gary McAllister
Would really love to see your opinion on these legendary players, though Harry Kewell had an unlucky career with us.
Thanks for your time.
{Ed001's Note - added them to the list for you mate.}
1.) 12 Oct 2018 20:15:28
Ray clemence please Ed.
{Ed001's Note - added.}
2.) 18 Oct 2018 18:19:26
thanks ed001
looking forward to that!
{Ed001's Note - don't hold your breath though mate. Still got a fair few to get through!}

Dear Ed's
Hope you all are having great time lately. I would be appreciated if you would share your view on the following.
The first thing is about our CB position. When Matip first came, I remember much of us were excited about his ability. He is calm, good in the air and is quite good on the ball. He made me think he would develop into someone like Rio Ferdinand. However, maybe due to his injury? He seems to lost a bit of his confidence and is not able to lead our line. I don't remember when, someone started saying about they prefer Lovern than Matip. What are your views on him and Lovern? Is there any tactical problem for playing both vvd and Matip as both of them play like a sweeper?
Another question would be the development of Gomez. He seems to play much better than his time on the Rb position and with his fair speed he is playing good as a challenger. Will his development affect the future of Lovern? Is Lovern having poor relationships with the Club and Kloop due to his injury? And is he over confidence?
The last question is about TAA. Is club trying to develop him into a right back? or it is just a temporary solution for the RB position? Will Fabinho used as a RB?
Quite a lot of questions, Thanks for your time.
{Ed001's Note - I said from the start Matip is an abysmal defender and nothing has changed my view on that. He is ok going forward, but is useless when asked to actually defend.}
1.) 23 Aug 2018 22:19:44
Lovren was always the better of him and Matip. The reason Matip isn't getting time is that he simply doesn't cut it at the level required of him. The fact that a young and somewhat inexperienced Gomez is first choice over him says it all.
I do like the look of Gomez, he's still got a way to go, but I agree he seems a lot more calm than he did at the RB position. With time I believe he can develop into a great CB. I do however think that Lovren will deservedly take his place when fully fit. Lovren and VVD is a deadly CB combination, one of the best in the league I'd say.
I doubt TAA will move to the midfield in the near future. I actually think he'll see his whole career out as a RB - he's doing decent and showing glimpses of his amazing potential. Just needs a few more seasons under his belt.
2.) 23 Aug 2018 23:45:37
Think Gomez will flourish now, yes he still may get caught out arially what not, but vvd should take charge there. The experience at rb will serve him well in one v ones as will his confidence on the ball.
How good do you think he can bevome?
3.) 23 Aug 2018 22:23:10
Ed01, I actually remembered you saying that before he signed and I thought that was a bit harsh. I was hopeful that you would be wrong when he first started, shutting down Harry Kane, Vardy and the then might Costa. The as the season went on I started to doubt him as a defender. After last season, I gave up on him cos he actually can't defend when it is actually time for him to you know, do his job which is well, defend. Now, he is the one that needs to be benched and eventually sold.
{Ed001's Note - shame because he is very good, calm and assured on the ball.}
4.) 24 Aug 2018 05:22:05
I thought signing him on a Bosman was going to be a shrewd piece of business but he has really let himself down since he joined. A massive disappointment and a total misjudgement by me. 😔.
5.) 24 Aug 2018 16:35:25
thanks ed001 for the comment.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate. Makes a change, I remember when everyone used to give me grief for saying I was not convinced by him when he first joined. That was because the first few games we dominated and he didn't have to defend, as soon as he was put under pressure he folded badly.}
18 Sep 2020 03:17:05
Thats probably the best comment ever TSR.
21 Jun 2019 18:29:53
P. B
In Hong Kong, we made a nickname with Cantonese about Danilo, something like "welcome road" in English.
31 May 2019 21:24:07
Guys, please remember that our front 3 came relatively cheap and they come with quality.
23 Apr 2019 06:32:24
Salah is the key for current tactics. with his incredible pace he creates much room for the others.
But I don't think he is irreplaceable, he is fast but his decision is not top class. If he leaves, we just look for quality replacement such as Insigne, he may not be that fast but I think the composure and decision making aspect could be improved.
06 Apr 2019 03:43:16
Please post on every match talking about the rumour departure of Naby.
We need you jk23.
02 Jun 2021 05:54:01
A really good one Rigsby.
25 Sep 2020 09:06:59
I think he deserves more respect.
He played not a small part in our successful season.
29 Feb 2020 00:29:42
Dear all
A message from hong konger to all of you. I know some of you must be scared of the coronary virus that China brought to all of us. Here are some advices:
The virus itself is not vital but it is highly contagious, as long as people keep their hygiene level well, all of you will be fine. The worry is the number of infected people which would collapse the whole medical system.
Damx. I bought the ticket for our match against Chelsea. I want to see Hendo win the first champion of premier league for us in live. I hate China.
22 Aug 2019 14:38:52
O think Gomez will start at Rb
usual practice for Klopp lately for defending team with pace.
04 Jun 2019 00:40:50
thanks ed002 for the update!
