Ed1, on Anderson, which club is that? Is it City again? Or United? Both would be a bummer.
{Ed001's Note - City it looks like.}

Hi Ed001, hope you're keeping well. Haven't posted in a while but have been tuning in regularly. Thanks a million for the work that you and the other Eds do, it's a super site. Couple of questions from me if you don't mind
1. Teamtalk (not the most reliable source I know) are reporting that Slot's role is at risk and that Xabi is the only one they're interested in talking to about replacing Slot. Do you see this happening in the summer?
2. They're also saying we're going to go all out for Diomande to replace Mo but they're quoting £87m as the asking price.
Do you think we will get this done and do we have the funds to spend that one one player after the big spending last summer? He looks super talented but that's a lot of money for a 19 year old playing in a lesser league.
3. Who would you like to see us go after to add some physicality in midfield? I really like the look of Anderson but lots of outlets reporting he's going to Man City.
{Ed001's Note - 1. Yes.
2. Yes. The club have been careful on centre backs to save money.
3. Sadiki. I really like him.}

Hello ed1 hope u keeping well? 2 questions for u if u had time to answer please.
1.talk of klopp returning to the dugout seems to be gathering momentum in different circles. Have u heard anything recently to suggest he looking a return to management? I know u have said here several times in the past he and his wife where quite happy with his life now, just wondering would anything have changed.
2.elliot Anderson any chance we could get him in summer? We don't seem to have any links to him and I think last time u commented on him was that we had interest but didn't seem v concrete with us compared to other teams.
{Ed001's Note - 1. Nothing I am aware of.
2. He seems to be set for elsewhere.}
05 Mar 2026 20:21:30
92. Seems City have been monitoring him for months.
1. Klopp posted on Facebook in the last few days with Red Bull, and he's looking to get back into coaching, whether locally or globally. Looks to be well and truly rejuvenated. Liverpool or Madrid is my guess.
05 Mar 2026 21:01:08
Atletico apparently in for Jurgen.
05 Mar 2026 21:58:08
I always figured Klopp would manage a national team if he was to come back coaching. It's only part time, so he wouldn't burn out again and would still get his fix.
05 Mar 2026 22:26:50
This has the German national team all over it. At least that would free up Nagelsmann to throw his hat into the ring for Liverpool.
05 Mar 2026 22:48:32
Hope not, Stoneage. Wouldn't want Nagelsmann anywhere near the club.
06 Mar 2026 01:49:20
Pure waffle, more speculation based on a report that Red Bull wasn't happy with Klopp. He's not coming back. He was explicit on Stephen Bartlett's podcast last year. He doesn't miss coaching whatsoever. He loves his job at Red Bull; he loves the lifestyle. He works from home when he's not travelling, and spends a lot more time with his family in sunny Mallorca instead of getting pure stressed on the dreary Mersey.
Don't forget Klopp's leaving Liverpool was part of a long-term plan, set into motion at least 2 years prior to his departure. He had discussions with Red Bull and bought his current home in Mallorca back in 2022.
06 Mar 2026 07:32:04
Yes, but Chewy. The statement he's excited to get back into coaching, making new memories, etc., has come from him himself. So how can it be pure waffle? German national team maybe, but why would he mention that just yet with a World Cup still months away. Real Madrid will be a pull.
06 Mar 2026 08:18:18
Yeh, but the WC will still be over before next season starts, and I doubt he's on about the last few weeks of this season. Jurgen, unfortunately, is finished as far as Liverpool first team is concerned.
06 Mar 2026 09:42:17
Edwards will never sanction Klopp's return.
06 Mar 2026 08:19:53

{Ed001's Note - City it looks like.}
06 Mar 2026 10:25:07
Not that I expect it to happen, but it would be interesting to see what the view of FSG would be if it came to a choice between Klopp and Edwards.
06 Mar 2026 10:38:06
I would say it is very difficult to know what is in Klopp's heads these days. He is much more of a brand than he was when he joined us, and he is acutely aware of that.
While joining Red Bull seems to fit with the lifestyle he wanted (seeing parts of the world he had wanted to see, and getting involved in other sports), the organisation itself isn't exactly one with a rich history and values like the clubs he chose to coach.
This is a new version of Klopp - a commercial one. It is difficult to know what his next move would be. I for one would be disappointed if he took the Real Madrid job. But equally I wouldn't be surprised based on what he's been up to since he left us.
In terms of Edwards vs Klopp, I would say that Klopp has probably learned an awful lot about the Red Bull multi-club model, something that Edwards has been tasked to replicate (at least on a small scale). Perhaps in 2026, they are possibly more aligned than they were in 2022 when Edwards announced his departure. Not the wildest scenario.

Edd001 what did Keane do? I've never known what he did

{Ed001's Note - that was Ed25.}

05 Mar 2026 08:21:58
I think Slot is doing it on purpose. He's clearly not happy about something. I remember Rafa self-sabotaging the team because he couldn't get Barry and refused to play Keane. We cannot play this badly week in, week out, and Slot doesn't alter it.
{Ed001's Note - that was not why he did not play Keane. Keane was a different matter, all of the bell's own making. He was not shipped out immediately because of any reason other than he was a problem. Absolute prick of a man who should be remembered with contempt by Liverpool fans.}

I can go along with that Ed001. The noticable thing for me is that the players don't look sharp or fit enough this season. Gakpo, Mac Allister and Salah in particular. Even Gravenberch to a certain extent. And they are not the only ones. Obviously, they are fit individuals, but I mean that sharpness in the legs that gets you to the ball first, the endurance fitness that means you can sustain more than the 10 minute spells we see now.
Other teams with much less ability seem sharper, stronger, quicker to the ball, and can produce it over longer periods. I have been questioning what the fitness coaches have been doing but, maybe you're right, it is the sheer boredom of the training routines.
{Ed001's Note - I think it is a mix of both. The fitness and conditioning coaches are not pushing them hard enough and then that is compounded by the players not enjoying what they are doing.}

How is the cardboard cutout still in a job? This is getting embarrassing. Why is the club ignoring the fans Ed01?
{Ed001's Note - it shouldn't be about the fans, it should be because it is obvious he is making things worse, rather than better. Every step forward is following by 3 back. Hughes and Edwards picked him, they are giving him every possible chance to turn it around. They don't want to make a change until the end of the season.}
04 Mar 2026 13:00:41
Question for Ed001 if you are around .
Do you think the players actually get bored playing the way that we play?
Personally I'm finding us a really hard watch at the moment as a lot of the fans on here are apparently do.
I just wondered whether you think the players almost feel the same?
I'm not defending the players by the way as I believe they have been way off of this season but it must be hard in my opinion to start games in such a slow methodical way and then increase momentum and intensity when you are already as flat as a pancake?
{Ed001's Note - yes, more of a problem is training than playing, as they don't have a crowd to drive them on and give them something to enjoy. So it becomes a chore, they then don't put their heart and soul into it and their level drops.}
04 Mar 2026 13:57:04
When playing professional sports starts to become like a 9-5 job, players tend to lose interest, imo.
04 Mar 2026 14:17:09
The whole situation is now beyond a joke.
Slot, after the game, saying that it was the same old problem - exactly! How has nothing changed in our performances over the last several months, and yet he still has a job?
Virg, saying that there was no urgency and it was too sloppy - exactly! But why is he telling the press? He is supposed to be the captain. Why isn't he berating the players on the pitch instead of being lethargically eased off the ball for their first goal?
These performances leave me so angry.
I can accept the result - it happens - but that performance looked like a team that didn't care about the outcome. We got right back in the battle for 3rd, and then this happens. It wasn't purely because of selection, tactics, or performance. Every one of those things is wrong right now, and yet nothing seems to be being done to address any of these things.

LavishMctavish, do you think the support at games is baying for his blood? That's simply not the case and historically never has been. We aren't Spurs. I'm not saying that won't change, but I'd be surprised.
04 Mar 2026 14:55:11
Script for Liverpool away games.
Start off slowly, passing the ball around the back 4.
Occasionally pass it into midfield, who promptly pass it back.
Try the occasional long ball that is overhit.
Maintain the slow tempo, hoping that a gap will magically appear.
Dominate possession, but create nothing with it.
Give their keeper the first half off, as he is not required.
No need for any urgency, as there is another half to play.
Come out for the second half with a bit more urgency and tempo.
Win a couple of corners that do not beat the first man.
We miss a sitter.
The keeper makes a save that he should make.
We have another couple of corners that come to nothing.
We hit the post.
The increase in tempo lasts about 15 minutes before the game drifts into a lull again.
Everyone is ok with that, as they are sure someone will produce a bit of magic eventually.
When the game reaches the 75 minute mark and that has not happened, he throws Rio on as a sub.
In the last 10 minutes, the opposition score with their first attack of the half, usually because one of our defenders could have done better positionally or to get the block in.
Throw Chiesa on in desperation, taking off a defender.
About 5 minutes from time, we grab an equaliser, sometimes because of a defensive error.
At this point, Arsenal, City, and maybe even United now, would go on to win.
But this is Liverpool, so we have all the possession in the last third, but the ball is recycled from left to right incessantly.
Near the end of added time, the opposition break on us, with four attackers against our remaining 2 defenders, because Slot has thrown the kitchen sink at it and left us completely unbalanced.
Obviously, they score.
We have no time to come back, so we lose.
In his press conference, Slot says he was happy with possession, but it's a pity we couldn't convert it to chances.
He has been watching and saying this all season.

I haven't enjoyed coming to work in lunchtime traffic today, to do a mind-numbingly boring job until 11pm tonight either, so I can see how the multi-millionaire footballers feel. Unfortunately, my boss just told me to get on with it, so that's what I'll do.
05 Mar 2026 08:28:49
I'd tell you to get on with it Florian because you spend most of your time on here defending the indefensible. I love how your arguments now resort to human morals and as millionaires the players should do better. Still won't call out the fraud millionaire in the dug out though.

Ed001 Mo was never the sort of player that once his legs had gone was going to be a good player. Barnes Gerrard were so much better technically than Mo as many goals Mo scored every season he missed as many that he should have scored.
But am not sure this season that it's how much Mo legs have gone or more down to general fitness of the squad that is affecting so many of our players. Because this kicked in from about February March last season.
Ed are you surprised that FSG have not acted already this season with what is at risk with leaving Slot in charge. I feel if Hughes and Edwards had acted when they should have in November I feel we would have been back in the league race only have to look at United if they have acted sooner think they would have too because Arsenal and city are so poor and as the best two teams in the league it shows how poor the league is.
{Ed001's Note - I am not surprised FSG have not acted, they are not well versed in football and appointed people they believed were to run things. The problem is Edwards etc, not FSG.}

Eds can i ask are we going to continue playing with Gakpo and Salah on the wings, who let's face it, are doing nothing every single game? I watch every match, and i am now of the opinion that our midfield needs completely replaced, salah and gakpo have got to go and we need to address the right back situation. The manager losese these games because we cannot score goals unless we go behind, then he empties the bench and makes the team completely imbalanced and then people wonder why we concede in the dying minutes of games. Iv'e watch Liverpool since the 80's and this is one of the worst performing teams i can remember.
We have had worse team that performed better, but now we have a good team (ish) that performs poorly week in week out. That is on the manager. He consistently picks Salah because of his reputation, but i will tell you what, Salah is at risk of ruining his legacy if he continues with these type of performances. There is no one being dropped for poor performance or attitude. Same team every week. It ridiculous. I was genuinely upset and frustrated last night. This is years and miles behind what Jurgen did. Its disgusting and it is disgusting that he will probably get another season to make it even worse.
{Ed001's Note - I expect Slot to stick with them, but I don't expect him to be here next season.}

Hopefully you're right Ed001
04 Mar 2026 13:22:31
We can talk about players all we like. It doesn't avoid the fact that the coach's signature move is to play out uneventful first halves and try to win games in the second half, with players who are clearly not fit enough.
The whole tactical approach is not fit for purpose - literally!
04 Mar 2026 12:39:24
From your keyboard to the heaven, Ed01.
04 Mar 2026 13:46:48
The team is clearly unfit. The tactics are awful, and MacAllister's performance (as an example) was just unacceptable. Salah has been getting away with it all season, and I genuinely just think Allison is bored.
04 Mar 2026 13:40:09

5 defeats delivered via stoppage-time goals. It just shows weak team concentration and mental strength. That's 10 points lost cuz players can't kill the game. That is mind-boggling statistics.
You can blame it on Slot and training, but it's on the players. And in all 5 games we were the better team overall.
So, despite being rubbish for the whole season, it's these little things that have made all the difference.
We were great at seeing out games last season, and in fact the best at it. Nowhere close this year, and these last-minute goals are all individual/team mistakes.
{Ed001's Note - Harry loss of concentration and mistakes at the end of games is down to lack of fitness and tiredness.}

Today's display. How is it even Slot's fault?
We have some utterly useless players, and some players whose age is catching up.
{Ed001's Note - is this the most idiotic and pointless post ever? You do realise he is the manager who picks those "utterly useless players", as you put it. He also sets the tactics, which don't suit any of the players. This is all on Slot.}
