Ed01 - Some of us are eagerly looking forward to reading your match reviews! unless of course they are posted in a different section of the site?
{Ed001's Note - sorry mate, I wasn't able to watch the Brentford game as I was busy with family stuff so that one wasn't done. I will do the Brighton one as soon as I finish the match day round up. Just got the last few matches from Sunday to get through now. Then I will go back,rewatch our game and write it. It will be posted up on here as usual.}

Question for ed1 do you know much about Andrii Fedchenkov?
Is he well liked.
{Ed001's Note - I don't know much about him at all, sorry. He has a good rep but that is all I know.}

Greetings Ed001, trust you are well. Question for you.
Quite a few people here and in social media have suggested that Wirtz and Szoboszlai cannot play together. What is your view on this?
My view is that it's very possible as long as Iraola defines their positions clearly to them so that there is no overlapping of roles. Funnily enough, I remember last year when Szoboszlai missed games, many said that he was crucial to our midfield. He ended up being the best player for the season. Now the tide seems to have turned now that Wirtz has seen some uptick in form.
{Ed001's Note - I am sure they can work together fine. It just takes time.
27 Oct 2026 19:06:26
Sob needs to show he is coachable. So far this season he has lacked discipline. If he shows more discipline then the combo will be exciting to watch.
27 Oct 2026 21:22:58
Question doing the rounds now, are we a better team without Szobo in it?
{Ed666's Note - He needs to be in the team just for his free kicks!!
27 Oct 2026 21:32:26
We're a better team without Szobo playing DM/CM If we can fit him in elsewhere I'm sure he'll be a positive.
27 Oct 2026 21:32:47
will be interesting to see the outcomes if both flo and dom are selected to start together in the future, the "DOMA-hawk" missiles, set pieces, corner kicks and new penalty taker, also can fill in at RB if needed are several key advantages for dom over flo, who'd be a manager? obviously the team overall must benefit the most not the individual.

Dom out injured for a few games, we get a couple of good results and all of a sudden it's Dom's fault it wasn't working in the first place. Some people are hilarious. Nothing to do with the natural progression you might expect for a team eploying a new system under a new manager.
Same Dom everone hailed as the best player in the team last season, by a country mile mind you.
27 Oct 2026 22:45:14
Unfortunately it seems to make the team worse when they play together. Does any team in the league play with 2 similar attack minded midfielders who seem to get in each others' way? Szobozlai lacks discipline, for me at the moment he doesn't walk straight back into the team when fit, unless Wirtz is injured.
27 Oct 2026 23:24:08
We played 12 games and had a number of injuries already, potentially we have another 40/50 games to go. I think the 'problem' may well resolve itself through loss of form, fatigue and / or injuries. We need a big squad and if everyone happens to be fit the the coach will earn his money by playing in a way that can beat whoever the opposition is with the players selected who can best execute the match plan.
I don't see the need to rush people out the door, particularly those who have specific strengths that the squad may / will need.
28 Oct 2026 00:08:57
Szobo was doing really well and the team looked great against Brentford before he went down. I actually thought that was the best we played but it turned for a while after him going off.
You do know we have Grav, Wirtz, Macca, Szobo and Trey. It's quite possible they all turn out great in the system and we just rotate and have options.
I agree with everyone that an out and out mobile DM would be a great addition to the squad and one i'd like to see us make. But in the meantime I'm enjoying all the above adapt and improve in the systems and style that Iraola wants.
To my eye, they are all improving. Of course a ways to go. But everyone of them looks better now than earlier in the season. got to give it time.
28 Oct 2026 00:09:19
Not sure if you guys share the same observation but I actually think Szob had regressed since joining us.
Yes he scored a few free kicks banger last season, but in terms of overall play, he had not kicked on as much as hoped.
- checking back and slowing the play down during counters when there are space to run into
- trying to dribble past 2-3 players and losing the ball during desperation times
- standing still high up the pitch instead of making off ball runs in behind
- soft in tackles
When he first arrived, there was an aura about him and his play. I was thinking we he could be the all action powerful midfielder similar to Gerrard.
But now that aura is not there, and there is a sense of arrogance (in a bad way), the backheel that lead to the goal conceded, shoulder shrug at fans when the team is booed.
I hope AI can coach him back to his game, and he takes the game by scruff of the neck, instead of letting it pass him by.
28 Oct 2026 10:05:53
Indeed, Jari. Szobo is a very good player and we need him. That being said, there is a decent amount of evidence that Szobo and Wirtz don't work esp. with both in the final third.
When Szobo hasn't played, Wirtz has more space to work with because Szobo is not in his way and the other mid's hold their positions, don't crowd his space and let him cook.
Grav had that issue too but clearly, that is starting to get better because he is playing the role he is supposed to play a lot better. Meaning? Grav is being coached to hold his position.
Szobo needs to do the same thing Grav is doing as in, get coached to play his role and let Wirtz do his job which right now, he is doing well and continuing to improve overall.

Edd001 - the ability to look so comfortable defensively and when going forward with his frame is so impressive. Sure he could slot in alongside jacet when vvd times up ?.

Will you also be spoiling us with a Brighton match review (pretty please)?
{Ed001's Note - yes mate.

Ed is there going to be a podcast as so much bas happened since the last international break that we'd love to hear your opinions on.
{Ed001's Note - hopefully mate, it is just difficult with us all being in different time zones and, for some unknown reason, Seamus is suddenly really busy. I can't think why.}

I have no doubts on his ability to save a ball etc just his kicking and as per the OG post was wandering if this is down to previous injuries, its not a one off game his distribution has been off for a long time.
He will of course get an assist now in the next game!

Any idea if Rio just wants a better deal or is seriously thinking of moving on Ed?
{Ed001's Note - not a clue sorry.
26 Oct 2026 08:30:01
What do u think of araujo ed1? I think he great just what we lacked from last season, a man who would risk his head getting kicked off to save a goal. the sort of spirit + determination we have lacked.
Maybe going forward we may need a more footballing rb but certainly for now he does a super job and fans love him. Some of his tackles really get crowd going. Hard but fair. Long time since we a defender like that.
{Ed001's Note - I love him mate. I really hope we get him on a permanent deal as he can be the long term successor to Virgil.
27 Oct 2026 12:13:00
The higher ups need to recognise that having a good clutch of South American players in the squad always makes for a better Liverpool team. They play football like it is their last game and are always tuned into the crowd.
Losing Darwin and Lucho last summer did take some of those intangibles out of the collective.
27 Oct 2026 12:20:20
Darwin just needed time.
27 Oct 2026 12:28:19
And an offside rule handbook.
27 Oct 2026 12:59:42
Darwin certainly needs to serve time. His lack of understanding of the offside rule was criminal.
27 Oct 2026 13:04:04
I agree with that, Pelican. A good clutch of Scottish and South American players just fits so well with the culture of LFC.
27 Oct 2026 13:40:59
Darwin needed time, an understanding of the offside rule and composure in front of goal.
Other than that he was perfect.
27 Oct 2026 14:08:08
A little less caffeine before games would have also helped in not taking the bait from opposing players.
27 Oct 2026 15:08:29
Fair play as joint 66th top league scorer tied with Danny Murphy he deserves legendary status.
27 Oct 2026 15:38:13
But he got the wrong sort of chances, JK.
27 Oct 2026 16:29:55
Personally I think we need to build a bigger squad so signing Arujo is a no brainer for me based on performances to date. Very few settle in so quickly as we have seen from the other end of the pitch.
RB is less a priority with him, Bradley (when back), Gomez, Frimpong (squad players), and options of Szobo and Grav. LB we have less options (Kerkez, Tsimikas and Gomez) so I would strengthen there before RB. The other major strengthening we need is in CM - I don't watch non Prem games enough to know who is a fit there but that is the priority for me. RW - I do like Minteh but others have pointed out his end product challenges. Still would like to see him there with possibly Gakpo to leave.
So to build a squad in order of priority: 1. CM 2. LB, 3 RW 4. RB (sign Arujo permanently)
{Ed666's Note - shouldn’t we see how good Ronald is at CB before we take the plunge?
27 Oct 2026 16:40:06
Turn it in. I loved Darwin. Gutted we never brought him back in the summer.
{Ed666's Note - 100% agreed.
27 Oct 2026 17:06:59
I just think he gives us options 066. Captain of Barca at CB before he had his health issues there so I'm guessing playing in his favoured position he would be even better. I'm not saying we don't need a RB, its not just the biggest priority and Arujo is a fantastic squad/starter option at €47M.
We just don't get established players at that price anymore because of our last couple of transfer windows.
27 Oct 2026
27 Oct 2026 08:54:14
Not arguing Ed001 but does anyone think this purchase might not be what we need given we have Munoz, Ngumoha, Barcola and Gakpo Unless Gakpo is to be sold which feels odd given we didn't do that when we had the chance last summer.
Rather spend the money on a central player with a bit of bite!
{Ed001's Note - we were ready to sell Gakpo in the summer, maybe he wants a fresh start after what happened? Or it is in case Rio continues to refuse his contract offer?}

Can only imagine that must be with a view to still selling Gakpo then? Surely we don't need 5 wingers.
{Ed001's Note - Rio still has not signed a new deal though.}
27 Oct 2026 08:15:21
Hi Ed's and reds, are we still looking at minteh in January?
Thanks.

27 Oct 2026 09:32:22
Iraola should drop interest in Minteh and instead focus on Kostoulas. The guy looked like a prime Coutinho against us, very good on the ball and would be a better signing. If Rio doesn't sign we let him go, for 80m at least.
{Ed666's Note - I had the same thoughts about the Greek kid. He’s gonna be some player
27 Oct 2026 09:44:01
But doesn't Rio only have a year left on his contract so hard to see anyone paying 80m? Maybe he'll do a Trent and run it down if we don't let him go to who he wants to.
That's taking it that he doesn't sign a new contract with us.
27 Oct 2026 10:22:26
There is a reason Minteh is Andoni's first choice. We have enough Hollywood signings.
Minteh would end up displacing Gakpo and Rio in an Andoni set up, at least as first choice starter for the big games.
27 Oct 2026 10:59:02
Where could Rio realistically go that would be a bigger draw than us? There's only the likes of Real, Barca, Bayern and PSG that are in the same stratosphere as Liverpool, Barca are broke, Bayern are in a one-horse league that even the likes of Olise has outgrown, Real are a circus with the world's most fickle and entitled fans, PSG are stocked with wingers.
27 Oct 2026 11:14:35
@PB, are you not counting Arsenal or Chelsea (from whence he came). He is a Cockney, after all. If City are in the PL next season they might be a possible alternative?
27 Oct 2026 11:29:26
PatrikBurgher - He, like Trent has dreams of winning the Ballon d'or, which is nigh on impossible when playing in the prem. Germans sides offer a gentler route to regular game time, and a platform to showcase talents on a regular basis.
Bayern would be a good move for him, although he would not be displacing Diaz anytime soon, he can play RW and as a rotation option.
The prem is unrelenting and shortens careers.
27 Oct 2026 11:42:52
Kostoulas would be my first choice signing in attack, beyond anything else in Europe. Though attack isn't where I'd focus, Kostoulas has too much potential to pass up if the chance was there.
27 Oct 2026 09:29:01
Any idea if Rio just wants a better deal or is seriously thinking of moving on Ed?
{Ed001's Note - not a clue sorry.
27 Oct 2026 12:08:19
Putting aside who it would be to replace, we definitely need a couple of left footers in the squad.
We have loads of guile in Wirtz, Isak, Ekitike and Rio. Whereas Minteh is a relentless pressing monster. So I can see the logic of our interest. Whether that interest is still there, I couldn't say.
27 Oct 2026 11:59:36
Rio hasn't refused a contract he is just negotiating via his agents team, all will be fine. Expect that one to get done soon.
27 Oct 2026 12:15:20
Everywhere I've read Rio's contract is expected to get done. its a negotiation, these things take time as we are always told.
27 Oct 2026 12:51:16
I doubt Rio actually wants to leave, he's still a developing 18 year old, doesn't start every game, he's only just broken into the team really. Anywhere he goes, he's likely going to have to go through that whole process again, it would be a terrible career choice. I can't see his agents advising him to make a move, I imagine they're just trying to negotiate a higher wage.
Kostullas does look to be an excellent signing, would take him over Minteh any day of the week, kid has skill, work rate and end product.
27 Oct 2026 13:11:47
Since when has a young player moving to Germany been a bad move? Utter nonsense.
27 Oct 2026 15:56:31
Kostoulas and prime Coutinho in our game on Sunday i fail to see it.
27 Oct 2026 16:10:24
Mighty mouse spot on with the "Hollywood signings" remark.
27 Oct 2026 16:12:17
Rio will ultimately have every single big club in Europe offering him obscene wages to see out his deal at Liverpool and move to them, including Real and Barca. Both of whom would be great fits for him in their own way - imagine Rio on the left and Yamal on the right, for example, or Diomande and Rio as two of Real's wingers.
It is unlikely to be down to money. It'll be what he and his family want, where he seems himself for his peak years. I'd love him to commit to Liverpool but wouldn't be surprised at all to see him wearing a Real or Barca jersey in two year's time.
This is the one danger of poaching the best young talent from other English clubs. We offer them a clear pathway to develop, but they don't hold the same loyalty to the club as the youth graduates.
Rio might look at Liverpool as his long term home. He might also look at Liverpool like a great stepping stone.
{Ed666's Note - Trent didn’t stay loyal and he was a youth graduate? Gone are the days that players have this emotional bond with the club that nurtured them. It’s a short career and they need to make as much paper as possible..and why not?
27 Oct 2026 17:13:56
He'll want to know minteh isn't coming or anyone else so he has a chance to play. Iraola constantly changing wingers each game, sides they play and depends on the match ups and constantly changing during the game should be very positive for him.
27 Oct 2026 18:28:26
Honestly think Rio will go if he's offered a better deal elsewhere,
If it was true that his family were talking with Munich.
27 Oct 2026 19:01:25
Talking about Rio in the same breath as Lamal is insane. He's nowhere near that sort of level, if he went to another top team right now expecting to be the number 1 choice for any position, he'll ruin his career trajectory.
The kids got serious holes in his game, and he won't be afforded the same support he gets with us if he goes with a price tag and a bunch of expectations. It would be Trent part 2.
27 Oct 2026 21:03:22
I think he'll stay and go next time ( if he improves as some expect)
27 Oct 2026 21:37:10
I don't mind us looking at Minteh as long as we don't buy him.
28 Oct 2026 00:15:05
It could be that he sees both as a potential option @Taurus.
28 Oct 2026 03:36:33
Hands up all those who have actually seen Kostoulas more than once.
{Ed666's Note - his mum…
26 Oct 2026
26 Oct 2026 15:40:31
Does he want out of Barca?
{Ed001's Note - he wanted to get away for a refresh, but hard to tell how he will feel when not there. He might find he misses the beaches etc. I think he will stay. He must feel loved with us and I am sure he will fall in love with Liverpool the club and the city. How could he not?}
26 Oct 2026
26 Oct 2026 15:31:25
Fifth Element, I agree, mate. The day I don't look forward to watching us I'll take up knitting.

26 Oct 2026
26 Oct 2026 11:53:50
I will shed tears if we don't keep him, Ed01.
Never loved a guy as much as I do Araujo and his redemption story. For all this man has suffered on and off the pitch at Barca and their vile supporters, to see him doing what he is doing now and all the love he is getting, really warms my heart.
I hope he stays because right now, it's a no-brainer.
{Ed001's Note - he is perfect for us.}
26 Oct 2026 08:30:01

{Ed001's Note - I love him mate. I really hope he stays long term
26 Oct 2026 11:24:46
He's definitely turned heads, that's for sure. And not just here. Barca fans have noticed that he's doing really well with us. So their conclusion is that the English League is lower in quality than La Liga: that's the only thing it can be. Comical clowns.
It's been shown time and time again that when you welcome a player with open arms and make him feel important and one of the group, he's going to run through walls for you. That's what has happened.
{Ed025's Note - Ronald has been very good mate and I don’t care what Sky say he was man of the match yesterday. Gakpo my arse..

For me it is his mentality he is a fighter and gives us something this team badly lacks without him. His involvement in the first goal just typifies his battling spirit. We need a few more in the squad with his attitude.

Easily my favourite player since bobby left. Really hope he stays. I hope his attitude rubs off on a lot of players. May not be a standard right back but he's been involved in goals and got a few himself while putting in some solid individual defensive play. can't ask much more from a full back. i'd be happy to keep him there long term. Probably been our best player overall this season so far.
Get him signed in January if it can be done.

I will shed tears if we don't keep him, Ed01.
Never loved a guy as much as I do Araujo and his redemption story. For all this man has suffered on and off the pitch at Barca and their vile supporters, to see him doing what he is doing now and all the love he is getting, really warms my heart.
I hope he stays because right now, it's a no-brainer.
{Ed001's Note - he is perfect for us.}

Are all 100% of Barca's worldwide supporters Vile?
26 Oct 2026 15:40:31
Does he want out of Barca?
{Ed001's Note - he wanted to get away for a refresh, but hard to tell how he will feel when not there. He might find he misses the beaches etc. I think he will stay. He must feel loved with us and I am sure he will fall in love with Liverpool the club and the city. How could he not?}
26 Oct 2026 15:52:20
I would say, JK, that the percentage of "vile" Barcelona supporters is comparable to the percentage of "vile" Liverpool supporters.

We're developing a bit of a connection with Uruguay, largely thanks to Suarez I think (or did Sebastian Coates move the needle with that bicycle kick? ). The two big ones we've had in Darwin and Araujo seemed to just get the club and it's fans from the first moment.
More generally, compared to a lot of clubs in England, I think Liverpool is well equipped as a city to offer some home comforts to the South American players. Plenty of good places restaurant options as one example.
Anfield when it's rocking is also the closest thing on this continent to the expressed intensity from the stands at home.
All that to say, please please stay, Big Ron ?.
26 Oct 2026 17:44:27
Ron's not bad for a Barca reject, sick note and desperation signing that a lot of people on here posted.
27 Oct 2026 08:08:57
I find it hard to get misty eyed about Suarez, Nunez and Coates.
One embarrassed the club and the other two were rubbish.
I'm reserving judgement on Araujo too. He's had a good start but it's early days and I still see a CB playing RB. He's doing it well, mind, but let's see where we are at the end of the season, at least.

Edd001 - the ability to look so comfortable defensively and when going forward with his frame is so impressive. Sure he could slot in alongside jacet when vvd times up ?.
{Ed001's Note - I think so too.
