Hear what you say, Ed, but they could conceivably win the Champions League.
{Ed001's Note - yes cups they can win, but it is a league title that shows winners from losers. Cups can be won by flukes, you don't get enough points over 38 games by luck alone.}

Interesting your opinion on arteta ed1, u don't rate him particularly highly?
{Ed001's Note - no. Spent huge amounts of money and still sits second every year. The guy is the Spanish Brendan Rodgers - does stupid things trying to be clever.}
24 Apr 2025 08:42:32
Can I ask ed 01 do you think we still win the league this season if klopp had stayed? Same transfers but klopp in charge
I would say no especially with linders as assistant, we would have crumbled around feb and let arsenal back into it.
{Ed001's Note - that is such a tough question. It wouldn't have been the same transfers as Edwards would not be back and wouldn't have brought his mates in, if Klopp was still here. The collapse last season might not have happened if Klopp had stayed as the players wouldn't have put so much into every game trying to win for him. Things would be so different. But I do think it would have been tougher with Klopp, as Pep would not have been so lax in the summer and would have bought to compete. On that basis, probably not. I don't see Arsenal as the threat, not while they have Arteta, he is not a winner, he is an oddball.}}
24 Apr 2025 09:55:44
Not really. Klopp had burned out and ran out of ideas.
Grav was looking out of place and we were questioning why did we buy him in the first place as no one knew what his role was.
Maybe Endo / Eliott would have played more and we would have been in the race to CL position. maybe?

Hi Ed - has something changed with Bajcetic? I thought we were looking to sell him?
{Ed001's Note - doesn't mean we will be able to offload him.}
23 Apr 2025
23 Apr 2025 14:01:05
I'd like it to be Elliott.
Seemingly overlooked by Slot and a lot of fans wanting him replaced with players like Cherki or Xavi Simons (Who I don't think either have a higher ceiling) . On top of that, he's a proper red, who only got a sympathy medal last time and hasn't officially won it.
{Ed001's Note - great shout or Endo, that would be brilliant.}

23 Apr 2025 13:53:05
Haha Ed001 love it.
I’ll be honest I’d like to see Nunez and Jota bag a couple of goals each before the season ends.
I definitely think Nunez will be off in the summer and wouldn’t be surprised to see Jota off as well.
23 Apr 2025
23 Apr 2025 13:41:23
Nice one ED001 ! :-)

23 Apr 2025 13:38:16
?? nice one Ed001.
23 Apr 2025 13:23:49
Ok lad's I saw this posted elsewhere.
Who would you like to see scoring the winning goal on Sunday and why?
I'll start with Mo and just because it's Mo
Ed's can answer as well.
{Ed001's Note - Nunez would be funny but it has to be Mo as he has been brilliant this season and deserves it or Trent just because I so enjoy reading pages and pages of coverage of what his celebration means with regard to his contract,}
23 Apr 2025 13:51:10
Robbo. He’s had a difficult season but is just as much a part of our recent success as anyone.
23 Apr 2025 14:01:05

23 Apr 2025 14:06:56
If Gomez was fit, I would have loved for it to be him.
23 Apr 2025 14:10:36
Richarlison own goal to clinch the league.
23 Apr 2025 14:17:13
Joe Gomez pls.
23 Apr 2025 14:19:30
If he was fit, I'd say Joe Gomez, but in his absence, I'll go for Tsimikas.
Probably leaving in the summer, the greek scouser needs a goal before he leaves!
23 Apr 2025 14:28:25
Bradley to score the winner, keeps the jersey on and kisses the badge.
23 Apr 2025 14:43:41
I know this is not what people want to hear but what if it was eze tonight that gets the winner. I’ve only just realised that Arsenal play tonight. I do not want to win like that.
23 Apr 2025 14:46:30
Tough to beat a shout for Richarlison 90th minute own goal in front of the Kop just for the entertainment.
23 Apr 2025 14:47:21
I second Elliot! Great call.
23 Apr 2025 14:49:06
Yeah, Endo would be brilliant too Ed.
23 Apr 2025 15:00:43
Nahhhh lads I want Ali to score a header from a corner in the last minute again.
23 Apr 2025 15:01:15
If Gomez was fit 100% outside of Mo definitely Harvey lad's.
23 Apr 2025 15:03:42
Slot?
23 Apr 2025 15:16:12
Vvd cus he gona be the first Dutch club captain to lift the Premier league trophy.
23 Apr 2025 15:22:14
Arne slot runs on a rifles one in the top bin just for a laugh, rips off his pullover and reveals the T-shirt saying “now their gunna believe us”.
23 Apr 2025 15:22:16
Solanke ?.
Seriously, I don't mind but I'll say Salah because of the Golden Boot and the season he has had.
23 Apr 2025 15:35:00
Would love Elliot - would be happy for Mo but my gut is it’s going to be VVD like the final last couple of minutes header from a corner.
23 Apr 2025 15:35:47
Alisson late header? Wild celebrations last time did he did that.
23 Apr 2025 15:55:09
Robertson. He's had a tough season and he's clearly on the decline but I'd love him to score the goal that clinches the title.
23 Apr 2025 15:56:11
Curtis! True scouser.
23 Apr 2025 16:00:43
I'm going to say gravenberch as he hasn't scored yet.
23 Apr 2025 16:01:06
Lol Cornish, I was just about to say Alisson as well.
23 Apr 2025 16:05:45
Elliot, with a ricochet off Gomez and, ironically, Carragher in the commentary box!
23 Apr 2025 16:21:51
Konate, and decides the sign a new contract after the adulation he receives.
23 Apr 2025 16:28:49
I would say Trent, as then SALAH can start crying like a 2 year old about how he is leaving, and how bad Liverpool are going to be next season, turned from a "believer" to a bubbler.
23 Apr 2025 16:29:05
STEVIE G!
23 Apr 2025 16:31:30
Alisson #2.
23 Apr 2025 16:39:43
Konate, Trent or Robbo.
23 Apr 2025 16:45:22
Mateta or Nketiah.
23 Apr 2025 16:55:48
Elliot or Robbo.
23 Apr 2025 16:56:49
If trent scores and immediately runs to sip some sangria it is clearly a sign he is signing for Madrid.
23 Apr 2025 16:59:50
For the sake of everyone’s nerves I’d like us to win comfortably so I’d like to several winning goals.
23 Apr 2025 17:11:59
I really want it to be Chiesa.
23 Apr 2025 17:13:31
Gravenberch who also hasn’t scored yet but has made a huge difference to our team in his new role. (Ps also anyone as long as it’s a winner! Richarlison would be funny though! )
23 Apr 2025 17:22:59
Last min Pen.
Salah on the spot with the ball. Turns to Trent. Signals a contract sign gesture and hands him the ball for the winning goal
Trent signals he signing
Oh the dream continues. VVD points to the armband and points to Trent and says next….
23 Apr 2025 17:37:50
Gazza, and then you wake up in a sticky puddle.
23 Apr 2025 17:49:42
Hope you have plenty of Kleenex Gazza ?.
23 Apr 2025 18:02:00
Joe Gomez but he is out.
So I'll go Allison first from last minute corner.
So I'll go Harvey Elliott second because he is as much a fanatic as us.
Mo third. To cap a great great season.
23 Apr 2025 19:24:00
Salah via the dodgiest penalty decision ever to really rile up the rest of the league.
23 Apr 2025 19:47:51
@mkscouser I agree, would love chiesa to score the goal that wins us the title. I still think there is a player there, just needs a run of games. Hopefully if we win the title sooner rather than later, he’ll get a chance to start the last few games.
23 Apr 2025 20:17:35
Alisson 90+ penalty or corner like west brom.
23 Apr 2025 22:01:47
Probably be a 0-0.
23 Apr 2025 23:00:45
2 - 0 down in the 90th minute and then Mo, Ali and Trent score in that order in the. 5 minutes of extra time. The weird thing is things like this have happened before at Anfield on ‘special occasions’.
23 Apr 2025 23:03:10
Mo to get 3 assists and 9 goals to break both records.
23 Apr 2025 23:55:56
Szobo screamer to prove the critics wrong.
24 Apr 2025 06:27:08
Postecoglou - after all, he always wins "something" in his second season!
23 Apr 2025
23 Apr 2025 13:28:58
An excellent read as per usual, Ed1. Cheers mate!
{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate.}
23 Apr 2025
23 Apr 2025 12:58:40
I’ve read it’s only if he starts. He’s currently on 49 starts.
It’s a shame because I know any day now we were going to see him hit his potential.
{Ed001's Note - it feels a bit like Del Boy telling Rodney they will be millionaires.}
23 Apr 2025
23 Apr 2025 11:34:16
Hi Ed, do you think it’s a case of our system and how we set up, rather than the personal for the 9 position?
It just seems whoever is in that role, they struggle.
Cheers.
{Ed001's Note - no, I think we just haven't got players who are good enough in that role. Jota should never be a starter at the top end of the game, I remain to be convinced he is even good enough to be a sub to be honest. He just isn't good enough on the ball.
Nunez just clearly lacks the mentality, as his finishing is sublime in training. He has absolutely insane backing from the stands but has still decided not to even bother trying in recent weeks. Such a shame as there is a player in there.}
23 Apr 2025
23 Apr 2025 10:47:46
Great review as usual Ed. Do you know why Chiesa is not even in the squad Ed? Since scoring in EFL final against Newcastle, he is only playing in less than 10 minutes if I'm not mistaken. Wondering what he must do to get proper chance in the team.
{Ed001's Note - I don't actually know why he missed out. I hadn't heard of any injury but he might have had a knock or cold or something. Seems unlikely he wouldn't at least have him in the squad otherwise.}
23 Apr 2025
23 Apr 2025 09:03:04
Ed001, I agree that it was a poor buy. I think it was done because of the price and availability and not because of what we needed.
It's on Hughes, for me.
I just don't know whether him signing any left back or midfielder would have worked out any better, either. People were crying out for both in January and if we'd signed a Dorgu and Nico, say, it could have affected future transfers, as you say, without them offering much long term.
All transfers are a gamble and Chiesa hasn't worked out.
{Ed001's Note - I don't have a problem with the signing per se, I like Chiesa myself, but it was clearly not thought out and planned. And I agree, we could have brought someone else in who failed in January and really put us in trouble, but we can't just not sign players in case they fail.}

Ed001 in what way is Vardy a bad influence at Leicester mate?
{Ed001's Note - well I did mention it, he has had every manager sacked there since their title win. He is the ringleader and has the owner's ear. And he is an utter bell.}
23 Apr 2025
23 Apr 2025 08:35:55
Thanks for the review, Ed. Regards to Bradley, do you think he's ready to step up next season, if Trent leaves? I still have my doubts about him defensively. And before posters pile in on me, I know he's still young.
{Ed001's Note - no, he is not ready to just step in, but he needs to play more to be ready. Trent wasn't ready either. The only way to get them ready is to play them. He is poor defensively and is clearly not addressing the issues as he is regressing in that part of the game. It is the basics that he fails at, he is good at aspects that he enjoys, but basic defending he has admitted he doesn't like and it shows. He wants to play further forward, but he is not going to do that with us, so he needs to knuckle down and focus on learning to defend.
The good thing is that his mistakes and weaknesses have shown what needs to be worked on and I am sure the coaching staff will have seen what they need to do with him.}

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Leicester City v Liverpool - A Quick Liverpool Perspective
23 Apr 2025 07:54:43
Cheers for the review Ed.
Jota could and should have had 2 maybe 3. He had a good heading chance and should have scored prior to the ball even falling to Trent.
On another day Salah could have had a hatful also.
At this stage of the season it’s all about results over performances which is great because we’re getting the results and performances are a pretty hard watch.
Seeing reports online that If Nunez starts another league game it activates a €5 mill incentive payment to Benfica. Any idea if this is the case mate?
{Ed001's Note - it is hard to be 100% sure how much it is for, but yes, it does seem that there will be another payment due if he plays again.}
23 Apr 2025 08:20:19
Top priority on the transfer front is a new forward. Someone who can actually score would make this team even better. We’ve struggled to score in a few games that we’ve dominated, the finding a way to win is great but there are times when it’s looked hard work.

23 Apr 2025 10:17:24
Thanks for the review Ed and I agree with mod tof what you said. I did think that we controlled the game very well and was a bit surprised a the fall out after the game on here, saying that we were very poor. True, we could and should have scored more but we still managed the win regardless and didn't look in any real danger of conceding.
On the point of Bradley, I agree that he was defensively poor but I'd give him a pass this time around. He is only just coming back from injury. He also did seem unsure of himself at times, like he is caught in two minds during the game so I'd put it down to him finding his feet in the system again.
From the way we set up, I also did think that we expected Leicester to come at us since they needed a win to have any chance of staying up but were caught off-guard by them being passive and seemingly playing for a draw. That, for me, would explain why Diaz is playing as a CF in that game. I think we weren't sure what to do when they sat back so we slowed down the play ourselves too.
23 Apr 2025 10:34:02
We do have a brillant knack ed1 of not playing great and winning. At this stage it can't be luck, great quality to have.
23 Apr 2025 10:47:46

23 Apr 2025 10:56:58
Not sure why Gakpos form has taken such a nosedive since his injury. He was really looking like he'd stepped up to be a big player for us before that.
23 Apr 2025 11:15:21
Good write-up, Ed.
I have no idea what is going on in Ibou's head at the moment but he's doing his best Dejan Lovren impression these days.
A tad frustrating that Tsimikas hasn't been given more opportunities this season. He's clearly much more comfortable on the ball than Robbo, can use his right foot and has a wicked delivery. He's also not always playing people onside.
Diaz is not a no9. The fact that he's played there in half of his appearances this season, taking him out of his best position, makes it all the more amazing that we're winning this league.
23 Apr 2025 11:34:16

Salah full of praise for something? Surely this isn't the Liverpool page?
24 Apr 2025 04:07:46
Kloppofthenortheast two posts for me? You’re working overtime mate. At this point I’m not sure if you hate me or want me to sign your forehead. The way you think about me unprovoked? The dedication’s adorable, really. If obsession was a sport, you’d finally be winning something. Keep going, though - you’re getting so close to being relevant.
22 Apr 2025 21:01:41
Ed001, Do Slot and Hughes have a clear idea on the type of signings we want meaning, will the signings be signed to try get the best out of Salah or to improve the collective in general to not rely on one person for output?
{Ed001's Note - the collective in general is the plan, no one wants to be reliant on one player.}
