Inacio, Koopmeiners, Kudus
Good summer that would be.
8 players to leave, Thiago, Matip, Tsimikas, Phillips, Salah, Kelleher, Adrian, Carvalho.
Maybe a couple of academy players too.
New reserve keeper needed too.
Ed002 have we looked at any keepers recently do you know, and where is Kelleher likely to go?
{Ed002's Note - Filip Jorgensen (G) Villareal are stll struggling financially and will sell at the right price. Manchester City and Liverpool are searching for a number 2 goalkeeper and have both sent scouts. Seems an odd choice.
Anthony Patterson (G) Arsenal and Liverpool have sent scouts to watch the Sunderland player.
Closer to home Vitezslav Jaros (G) Having a good loan at Sturm Graz and perhaps an option to take over as number two but he may want more game time.
Kelleher will have options including Celtic and Wolves.}

I think we need to invest in some new flags for Anfield.
Players might play the games but flags are what wins them.
2.) 13 Apr 2024 13:56:29
Can’t see West Ham being willing to sell Kudus given the likelihood that Pacquetta will probably be going to Man City and they’re not easy to negotiate with at all. As for Koopmeiners, don’t see the fuss, looks immobile and one paced, not suited to the premier league.
3.) 13 Apr 2024 14:30:47
What about Gomez he should go to in my opinion poor defender and passing very poor.
4.) 14 Apr 2024 03:17:40
@Isillbe red. I disagree with your opinion.
5.) 14 Apr 2024 03:50:55
Gomez was running the show with two MOM appearances a few games back. Fickle.

Ed002
Real Madrid are rumoured to be ready to sell some players this summer, to help fund the Mbappe deal and maybe a couple of other new signings.
Of their existing players, will Tchouameni, Valverde, Rodrygo become available?
{Ed002's Note - Rodrygo Goes (RW/S) Real Madrid have no interest in selling but PSG did ask for him as part of a deal for Mbappe before he let his contract run down. Many Liverpool fans think there is some sort of pre-contract to join them, but of course their isn't. He agreed a new contract at Real Madrid and won't be moving anytime soon unless something like €120M offer is made or he could perhaps be offered to Liverpool in an exchange for Alexander Arnold. There will always be interest in him and with Mbappe arriving he may need to make his way back to the RW position - although the wide positions are areas where Real Madrid want more depth.
Aurelien Tchouameni (CM/DM) Real Madrid do not wish to sell but recovering the money spent last year would go a long way towards topping up the Mbappe pot. Real Madrid has spoken to with Chelsea, who were previously blocked from completing negotions, about him during discussions over two other players and some sort of exchange may be possible. Bayern Munich have also told Real Madrid that they will be interested if he were to be made available, but they would like a loan with an option to buy although an exchange may be possible with Davies. Manchester United would be interested in taking him if available. There is no declared interest from elsewhere and any move seems unlikely with Arsenal already signing Rice. Previously illegally tapped up by Klopp but Liverpool have other targets.
Federico Valverde (CM) New contract and staying.}
1.) 24 Mar 2024 11:57:53
What do you think of a deal involving Rodrygo for Trent Ed’s? Not so much whether it could happen but do you think it would make any sense for us?
{Ed001's Note - no, it would be crazy to let Trent go.}
2.) 25 Mar 2024 19:14:31
Rodrygo for Trent?
wtf
Looking forward to trent returning to the team.
10 Mar 2024 08:44:31
Also, taxi driver bringing me home from Lime St on Friday said him and his mate speak regularly to Jan Molby in a pub in Heswall.
Molby said he would be gobsmacked if Alonso doesn’t accept the managers job, and that Xabi loves the city and the club.
1.) 10 Mar 2024 09:58:03
Nice - love it ??.
2.) 10 Mar 2024 10:29:34
Proper rumour that! haha.
3.) 10 Mar 2024 10:41:47
My take on the alonso comes down to one thing. How easy does he want it.
If he goes to bayern, he's gona clean up pretty easy, it's like why Rodgers went to celtic, pretty much guaranteed success.
At least at Liverpool a bit more effort is needed, and it's a better achievement when done.
4.) 10 Mar 2024 11:53:16
If Alonso's ambition is to coach Real Madrid, as has been mooted, he may see Bayern as the ideal stepping stone. Almost guaranteed to win the Bundesliga and then take over from Ancelotti.
Agree, spoil his legacy with Leverkusen but football is not a sentimental business.
Would we want a coach who has eyes for another? I'm not convinced his love for Liverpool is as strong as people think.
Personally, I like to see a track record. How someone handles adversity. This season has been a dream for Leverkusen but it is only one season and coincided with Bayern falling off a cliff.
Rubien Amorim did well at Braga and then immediately at Sporting. After a dodgy last season they have sprung back strongly, well placed to win the league again. Impressive!
Of course he does not have much experience playing or managing outside of Portugal, which is a risk, but he comes across very well and I think a good fit for Liverpool. Seems to develop players and creates a strong team culture.
We like getting players from the Primeira, why not a manager? :)
{Ed002's Note - Alonso is not seeing Bayern Munich as a "stepping stone" - the Real Madrid is not available so he is not "almost certain to take over from Ancelotti". Winning the Bundesliga will certainly make it tough leaving this summer - particularly to Bayern. Liverpool have him as a very clear first choice but recognise he may not be an option but they may well, according to a prominent coach, face serious competition for Amorim.}
5.) 10 Mar 2024 13:10:13
If I was Alonso I would be looking at the Liverpool job and wanting that over Bayern personally. Klopps pretty much already done a rebuild and we also have some very talented kids banging on the door. Couple of tweaks and he’s got a very interesting and exciting team that’s well placed to win things.
His only job at Bayern would be to win the German league, in a few months he will have ticked that off his Bucket list anyway, boring!
6.) 10 Mar 2024 21:28:49
Hmm Bayern Guarantees him a title? Really? Tell the current manager that! Some odd sentiments there!
7.) 10 Mar 2024 21:02:01
Just settle for Nagelsmann, please don't get hopes high on Alonso.
8.) 10 Mar 2024 22:46:36
Think we have got Alonso coming on as manager…. no announcement until end of season……. respect all parties when games and trophies still to be won,
9.) 11 Mar 2024 01:27:27
In my uneducated and not in-the-know opinion, I'd say he either stays with BL or takes the LFC job. this is as long as RM is not an option this summer (e. g Ancelotti wanting a break, internal issues etc)
I can't see him going to BM right now, I personally feel he'd rather move to another league than to a Bundesliga competitor just simply because he seems like the kind of guy who wouldn't move to a direct competitor right away, I think he's too much of a gentleman.
So I think most likely he stays for another season or comes to us. all just an opinion.
10.) 11 Mar 2024 05:03:42
Jan Molby in a pub! Who wouldve guessed ;-)
11.) 11 Mar 2024 08:16:19
I once told Jan to stop queue jumping. I was waiting to get into The Tavern in New Brighton (this was in 1996 when he lived in Rockland Road in Wallasey and was still, technically playing for us) . He'd just waltzed in front of loads of people on the pretence he was talking to 2 women he knew. He was blatantly trying to jump in. I said, "Eh Jan, the bar's not going anywhere and nor is the queue till you get back. "
He was actually really nice and apologised to everyone. He only stayed 20 minutes in the club.
12.) 13 Mar 2024 15:31:21
1985mikey1985 - The rebuild might actually be a problem more than a solution. If you watched Leverkusen play at all under Alonso you would know he doesn't play the same way as klopp nothing really alike. Alonso style is similar to Guardiola so although Klopp done the rebuild he rebuilt it in his image and not the next managers who plays a different style to that of the player bought in, unless the players can adapt to Alonso he will need replacements and technically start of another rebuild for Alonso. Granted the players may be able to change but wouldn't hold your breath.
07 Feb 2024 18:04:22
Ed002 are you aware of any contact being made with Leverkusen or Alonso representatives by Liverpool/ FSG?
{Ed002's Note - I understand that Liverpool are one of the clubs that has spoken to his representatives but I don’t think it has gone any further than that right now. They are taking advice and he is certainly a serious consideration.}
1.) 07 Feb 2024 22:00:47
Spot on Ed002 thanks.
Who would you say out of the other options would be a good option?
Amorim for me maybe?
{Ed002's Note - perhaps Nagelsmann.}
2.) 08 Feb 2024 06:15:42
Alonso for me. Nagelsman hasn't impressed. I reckon it'll be alonso.
3.) 08 Feb 2024 08:18:44
Nagelsmann hasn’t impressed either, there was that business with the journalist (which has echoes of his Rodgers conducted himself), the stories that his tactics confused the Bayern players so they just ignored him and he’s not exactly setting the world alight as Germany manager. But plus he won’t be available until after the Euros so makes no sense employing someone who can’t make adequate plans for the season going forward. I’d like to think it would be Alonso but we’ve got an uphill battle with Bayern and potentially Madrid also sniffing around.
4.) 08 Feb 2024 09:21:19
Do Liv need to pay some sort of compensation to be able get him Ed? Do both clubs need to agree a fee before we can speak directly to him? Assuming he wants and agree to replace Klopp of course.
{Ed002's Note - Compensation would need to be paid. Liverpool can speak directly to him only when BL give permission.}
5.) 08 Feb 2024 11:21:23
Press getting over excited about this today. Claiming Alonso is agreed and he is bringing Wirtz, Hincappe and Frimpong with him.
Awesome if true but I won't hold my breath.
{Ed002's Note - Obviously it is untrue.}
6.) 08 Feb 2024 16:09:51
Alonso intrigues me so much. What a brilliant football mind who seems to also have the natural people/ leadership skills/ instincts you can't teach. The cynics who are pessimistic about "fit" seem to incorrectly assume that he'd come into LFC and try to change their identity and style too quickly. The best managers assess what they have, what is available in the market, and strategize from that. We did that with Klopp and we'll do that with a new manager, and I'm hopeful it's Alonso.
7.) 09 Feb 2024 23:36:22
Has to be Alonso, and I would imagine that he would recommend his coaching team and maybe a couple of players, usually a new manager would want to know how much he would have to spend in the summer transfer window.
8.) 11 Feb 2024 22:28:05
Anyone watch the big game in Germany last night, very good game and Alonso team, really well coached and looked like scoring all thru the game. Harry Kane didn't get a look in. Very impressed how Alonso set his team up. This is the Man to take over from Klopp.
26 Jan 2024 16:30:36
Ed002
I’m now resigned to not signing anyone in this window especially after todays news, the club would want the new manager to assess what he thinks he needs.
Out of all the managers out there right now, who would joy say would be a good fit for Liverpool.
{Ed002's Note - If there is a clear need and the right player at the right price, then it would be wrong to not improve the team.}
1.) 26 Jan 2024 17:13:23
With Klopp having a habit of lying over and over again, he will be back in the PL there seems to be more than just been exausted and why he said he will speak more at end of season. Trust him as much as my ex.
{Ed025's Note - i dont think this is the time to have a pop at him mate..

7 Wins and a draw away from the title!
91 points wins it this season ??.
1.) 03 Apr 2024 06:40:32
Aren't there 9 games left?
2.) 03 Apr 2024 07:33:34
I don't think we have enough of a head start to just not turn up to one of our remaining games ?.

Let’s just keep it simple and win all 9. ?.
4.) 03 Apr 2024 07:57:06
9 wins away from the title. We can win all of our remaining games.
5.) 03 Apr 2024 08:57:04
Let's keep it even more simple. Focus on just one game at a time.
6.) 03 Apr 2024 09:29:56
Oli in chess top players often play 9 games at once. I like the concept of us focusing on all 9 games at the same time ?.
7.) 03 Apr 2024 09:31:50
I think we should keep Arsenal and City excited by not turning up to the next one, and then drawing the one after!
Seriously, we are 9 x nervy 1-0 wins from the title!
8.) 03 Apr 2024 10:03:25
Lets start by spanking the Blades. Get the 3 points then go again.
9.) 03 Apr 2024 10:28:04
Hoping arsenal and city can lose some more points tonight, both are tricky teams for them, fingers crossed. If they did lose points and we win tomorrow? We'd be laughing. Big if though, I know. I used to be a betting man and every single time I'd bet on days like this it never went as expected, guaranteed. One of Arsenal or city will lose points tonight - one can only hope.
With us, we will win the majority I think. Only one I have real concerns about is the man u game.
10.) 03 Apr 2024 11:26:42
100% Klopp and the players will be taking it one game at a time.
Fans not taking it one game at a time or thinking 9 games ahead has zero bearing on the players or outcome of the match.
11.) 03 Apr 2024 12:12:02
Unfortunately Salah, I don't see City and Arsenal dropping any points tonight as much as I want them to.
I hope they both make it through in the CL and face each other. 2 intense midweek games against each other is perfect for us. I understand we will also have additional midweek games but I would much rather face Benfica or Marseille than I would City or Arsenal.
I also see Arsenal dropping points against Spurs - The best thing for Spurs fans this season would be to stop Arsenal winning the league.
Man City I see picking up max points from now to the end of the season. It is what they do. So let's hope we can do the same and take home No. 20.
12.) 03 Apr 2024 14:47:43
I think City will drop points Lamborini. They are good front runners as it feeds their inflated egos but they are not good chasers.
They’ve always gone on runs when they know they’ll win the league if they win their games. Having to rely on us to drop points doesn’t suit them and they will blink first.
Arsenal could win all of their games but I agree Spurs is a big one for them. I’ve always thought the lack of a striker will come back to bite them and nothing I’ve seen makes me think otherwise.
It’s there for us, we just need to keep players fit and we have an unbelievable chance of lifting the title.
13.) 03 Apr 2024 15:37:46
How do we explain the 2 or 3 seasons we were top at Christmas and City were decent chasers to win the leagues.
14.) 03 Apr 2024 17:58:21
Villa are massively weakened tonight with injuries and suspensions to key players. Arsenal will easily beat Luton at home.
15.) 03 Apr 2024 19:43:21
It actually doesn’t matter what City or Arsenal do, us fans can’t impact what they do, the team or club can’t impact what they do. We can only focus on what we can do. One game at a time and play the game like it’s the last game we’ll ever play and give it everything. After the match then we can think about the next one.
02 Apr 2024 07:46:09
United, Everton and Villa all away are our toughest games left to play.
Sunday is mammoth, and we owe them one after the FA Cup debacle it’s a MUST win game.
1.) 02 Apr 2024 07:57:25
Sheffield first. Forget the rest.
2.) 02 Apr 2024 10:03:58
9 cup finals to go. Every game will be a challenge. I think any game that comes after a Europa tie on a Thursday will be more physically tougher.
Klopps a winner so no doubts he’ll be aiming for both but It wouldn’t bother me if we went full strength in those league games and rotated in the Europa.
3.) 02 Apr 2024 10:34:07
Spot on, Davey. Not aresed about games we aren't playing yet. We will cross those bridges when we get there. Sheff. Utd. is the biggest game of the season. Let's focus on that.
4.) 02 Apr 2024 10:59:41
The next game is always the biggest game and the game should always be a must win. Aim high and you might just get them aim low and you’ll succeed.
5.) 02 Apr 2024 11:08:08
I was almost convinced that our next game is manU lol
Yup, next game the most important game of the season.
6.) 02 Apr 2024 12:51:08
Think back to the (I think) 97 point finishing second year. We drew with both United and Everton away if memory serves before we went on that win streak to the end. Time to right that wrong.
7.) 02 Apr 2024 16:51:34
Wassa-lfc, we were playing the occasion and paid both teams way too much respect as a result. We played scared in both games, IMO. That cannot happen here. We got to go with the mentality that these are must-win games. This is NOT the time to play scared.
02 Apr 2024 06:55:19
Based on the recent appointments and the potential incoming of Amorim, I would be extremely surprised if Inacio didn’t join the reds this summer. He is top of the Klopp, Fallows list for CB and would be a known reliable addition for Amorim if he decides to join.
I don’t see Sane joining from Bayern and I would personally like to see Kudus take the Salah position, young, talented, and already had a taste of the prem, would not come cheap but full of potential.
1.) 02 Apr 2024 08:07:29
If I could pick 1 forward to put in this Liverpool team from the league it would have to be Cole palmer the lad is so good it’s a joke he’s not spoken about more . If/ when Chelsea have an upturn in form he will be the golden boy .
I actually think if he was still at city they might be a lot further ahead in the league than they are aswell . I like kudus but think palmer has that X factor as it all looks very easy as it does for the very very best players .
2.) 02 Apr 2024 09:13:47
There are quite a few good wingers in the Prem with the profile to potentially replace Salah; i. e. can play on the right side, predominantly left footed, offer a creative and goal scoring threat. You've got Bailey, Mbuemo, Neto, Olise, Bowen, Palmer, Kulusevski, Saka, Kudus etc.
Palmer (21) and Saka (22) are the standouts but being honest, they'll be well out of our price range so not much point even considering them as options. Neto (24) and Olise (22) can't stay fit for long enough to put a run of form together so it's hard to gauge just how good they are. Kulusevski (23), Bailey (26) and Kudus (23) are all a bit too patchy for my liking, often going on long baron runs but probably also the 3 most refined players technically so well worth considering. Then you have Mbuemo (24) and Bowen (27) who are both more consistent goal threats but more due to aggression and work rate than refined ability.
I think I'd go for Bowen or Mbuemo personally. Both have shown the capacity to carry the goal scoring burden alone at times this season, which is a trait we've seen from Salah down the years as well. I just think they have the right mentality to step up to a big club that wants to win titles as they handled that pressure. They remind me a bit of Jota when he was at Wolves, with their tenacity and clinical edge. All just my opinion of course, as we might not even be interested in any of these players!
3.) 02 Apr 2024 09:21:53
Palmer has that Quansah-like cool head and calmness that I admire and see in the best of players. Firmino had it too.
4.) 02 Apr 2024 09:30:48
I think if it’s Amorim we’ll be looking at Leao from Milan. We should avoid Sane at all costs.
5.) 02 Apr 2024 07:44:11
Ed’s can correct me if I am incorrect, but if we did get Amorim we would have to pay what ever his release or buy out clause is to get him. Which I don’t think would improve our already poor relationship with sporting. So can’t imagine it would make getting their players any easier. Not actually seen inacio but from what I’ve read on here would fit the bill for a cb that would improve us.
{Ed002's Note - Yes, for him and his staff.}
6.) 02 Apr 2024 10:38:05
Palmer is a baller BUT is more of a no. 10 than a wide forward in the LFC mould. Sane? No freaking way. Personally, I do love Kudus who I think can improve massively under an Amorim for ex., than a hapless Moyes. Reminds me of a young Sadio Mane. I think he is better than (and younger) than Bowen and has a higher sealing than him based on well, the age difference.
7.) 02 Apr 2024 10:38:39
If Amorim was to be brought in I wouldn’t rule out szoboslai being played in what we call the salah role and I think he would thrive in that.
8.) 02 Apr 2024 11:09:01
Kudus for me.
9.) 02 Apr 2024 11:52:15
Nice one, Jude. Baby Sadio, IMO.
10.) 02 Apr 2024 12:44:42
No way would Villa sell us Bowen ?.
11.) 02 Apr 2024 13:52:32
Olise for me. Kid has it all, except fitness.
12.) 02 Apr 2024 15:33:47
No idea how likely Amorim is to join but if he does come in, I'd probably agree with you, Dhfc. He doesn't really play with wingers from what I've read, more with two no.10's playing off a striker, and wide men in the midfield 4 providing the width. That system might even offer a route back for Fabio Carvalho who would be very suited to that kind of forward midfield role. I genuinely think we're going to get de Zerbi though. Just a hunch and I personally think there are better options, but Hughes and Klopp are both big fans if you believe what you read. Edwards reportedly leans more towards Amorim because he's superior statistically. Only time will tell, but the media would have us believe it is whittling down to a straight shootout between those two.
13.) 02 Apr 2024 16:52:44
Ron if Olise (who I like) is lacking in fitness then, that should be a red flag, no?
14.) 03 Apr 2024 13:11:00
From prem only…. kudus does look the best option. Olise too if he could stay fit. Always liked Bailey; great little player. I’d personally look elsewhere though because none of those would be anywhere near salahs standard. Even saka can’t replace salah. The young Japanese lad from sociedad looks a talent but around 60mill.
27 Mar 2024 16:29:00
Arsenal - Would take Martinelli for Diaz he is a better finisher and I rate him highly
Man City - Foden to replace Salah if he was to leave, and even though his gob annoys the crap out of me
Aston Villa - Martinelli again as back up keeper if Kelleher was to leave, he is a solid keeper
Spurs - Son = Simply their best player.
{Ed025's Note - i dont want to sound like the spelling police but Villa,s keeper is Martinez hughesy, Martinelli would get chipped every game mate.. :)
1.) 27 Mar 2024 17:31:20
Martínez is not moving to another club to be backup. If anything, I see him leaving Villa in the summer for a more “glamorous” club.
Foden is simply class. What a talent!
{Ed025's Note - hes a horrible little fink for me Alonso, but very talented..
2.) 27 Mar 2024 17:48:07
Alonso
Foden? Curtis Jones is better ????.
{Ed025's Note - say no to drugs..
3.) 27 Mar 2024 18:54:06
Martinelli has less goals than Diaz this season.
I think both players are very good and I’d say looking at their numbers both could be better finishers.
4.) 27 Mar 2024 21:53:56
Just don’t like Foden…. he is too Manc.
It would be like having someone from Oasis play with the Beatles…. They might know how to play but it just wouldn’t be right.

@Ed25 - Bernardo Silva is WAY worse than Foden. Silva is a fantastic footballer but I cannot stand the guy. Singing on the bus. Not giving us the guard of honour. And many other examples of his despicable behaviour as a human being. It’s like he is obsessed with us, which is strange considering how successful City have been.
@Irish Rover - Jones is one of ours but Foden is… I’ll let you fill out the rest ?.
{Ed025's Note - im not a fan of Bernardo either Alonso, great player but an absolute tosser of a person mate, mind you there are quite a few of them knocking about..

Bernardo's clearly been eyeing the City exit for a while now but the football financial landscape has become so skewed now that only a couple of clubs outside England could afford him unless he was to go to Saudi.

Foden is overrated no doubt doesn’t show in big games. He was shocking for England. Good player but not going to be remembered as one of the best that’s for sure.

Silva is an absolute wind up merchant. Plenty of them about and lots of rival fans think Similar of Robbo.
I’d categorise Suarez and El Hadj Diouf etc as showing despicable behaviour over someone drinking a cup of tea during a guess of honour.

Nah, OP. Martinelli is not comparable at all to Diaz's in terms of sheer ability as a true winger/ wideman. IMO, Diaz is a true 1 v 1 demon who can rip near any FB inside or outside dress him down, stand him up, get past him, cut inside him, the absolute lot. He can attack a low block and as well, get in behind with true pace and trickery. His finishing and decision making in the final third is what he needs to work on, IMO. That's it.
Martinelli for me, is a good player BUT too much of a one to two trick pony at best who can't function vs a true low block (Arsenal fans say this all the time, btw) without acres of space to run into or in behind. Without that, he is has near NO effect on the game (see how Bradley shut him down easily in his debut game in the FA Cup. Oh, and Martinelli is nowhere near the 1 v 1 dribbler Diaz is. Just my take.

“Fink” - great word Ed. My old man RIP used to call me it as a kid.
{Ed025's Note - it was used a lot when i was a kid Ron.. :)

11 games to go for the red men.
Out of everything we are going for this is the one we want.
9 wins will be enough for me (90 points) provided one of those wins is against City next week.
Come on the red men keep grinding out wins, and let’s give Jurgen Norbert Klopp a leaving present to remember!
1.) 03 Mar 2024 09:37:56
Totally agree on the 90 points to win it and the 3 against city are the biggest 3 points we could wish for . Half hoping city draw Arsenal in the champions league aswell as I feel them playing each other 3 times in the run in could be a massive boost to us . We all know how much those domestic European games take out of you as a club and fans . Here’s for wishing it in to existence ??.
2.) 03 Mar 2024 10:21:30
I think if we get btw 94 and 96 points (just to be sure), we'll win the title. Here's to hoping.
3.) 03 Mar 2024 13:20:14
It leaves me with a dirty taste in my mouth and I'll scrub in the bath later, but I'm going to be a red Manc supporter just for the afternoon.
I'm going to feel violated by the end.

I just can't bring myself to join you, Flash.
Nil-nil draw with a big brawl and lots of red cards please.
16 Apr 2024 21:26:51
Sane is a great player with a shizer attitude.
Amorim might be able to manage him and direct him to improve off the pitch!
02 Apr 2024 06:48:55
Southgate has never been considered by FSG as an option to replace Klopp that is pure newspaper nonsense!
17 Mar 2024 07:43:30
I would rather gouge my own eyes out with a rusty fork than share a stadium with Everton, this was done to death years ago when Everton realised they didn’t have a carrot ? and they pushed for a shared stadium on Stanley Park when H&G started the I’ll fated scheme with Laing O’Rourke.
It was never meant to be, our rivalry is part of our heritage and the blues new stadium is amazing to be honest but it will never be blessed with silverware like Anfield!
{Ed025's Note - "rivalry is part of our heritage" is very true....the rest is garbage..
07 Feb 2024 22:00:47
Spot on Ed002 thanks.
Who would you say out of the other options would be a good option?
Amorim for me maybe?
{Ed002's Note - perhaps Nagelsmann.}
27 Jan 2024 07:19:00
I’m gutted mate, feel like I have been kicked in the kahunas.
17 Apr 2024 14:46:08
Him and Steven Caulker were Klopp worst signings in terms of yield
Nunez has the potential to be the worst in terms of value for money especially if the clauses are executed and we cough up the £80m plus for him. He is as deadly as a teddy bear!
15 Apr 2024 03:02:40
100% our biggest issue. Nunez is not the answer, I think he could work on the left wing if Diaz were to leave but he is no way a striker out and out.
We need an injury free forward that can take his chances when they are presented.
I like Osmihen but probably beyond our budget.
Isla is also an upgrade.
{Ed001's Note - Osimhen misses as many as Nunez, so does Haaland. All strikers miss sitters, I can remember Rush kneeing one over from inside the 6 yard box with an open goal. That is not our biggest issue, it is the quality of chances we are creating that is the problem. Every single shot the box is full of opposition players, we no longer get in behind, we don't drag their defenders out of position, so they can get bodies in the way. While that happens, the chances of a shot finding the back of the net are massively reduced. How many 1-on-1s did we get against Palace? I think it was 1 if I remember correctly. And that fell for Jones. We are getting off lots of shots, but rarely are we getting open space to aim at.}
25 Mar 2024 19:35:02
Amorim would be a decent option ??.
19 Mar 2024 20:49:22
I think City will draw two games and one of those will be Arsenal and the other Spurs
I think Arsenal will lose one and draw two of their remaining games.
I think Liverpool will finish the season with 8 more wins and a couple of draws
We pip Pep to the title on the last day by a pube!
29 Feb 2024 05:13:08
I like the Nyoni kid.
16 years of age, that boy is going to be a decent footballer yanno!
