Haven't posted on here for yonks
even though I check the rumours, banter and sightings twice a day, BRILLIANT
Absolutely worship klopp, obviously and so sad to see him go
WHAT A BRILLIANT HUMAN BEING and the only one we could ever compare to the great bill Shankly
Although the jurgen said to me yeno is a great song, even if we did get told off for singing it, i feel we should pay him the utmost? respect and acolade and sing jurgen jurgen jurgen jurgen to the tune of amazing grace as we do with Shankly
Imagine the last home game and four ends of the ground all singing this and shedding tears of course, what an emotional day that will be
Just a thought.

Not sure if it’s been asked already. Looking for opinions on this season? I’m Torn between the Feeling it’s been an absolute anticlimax or it’s been a decent season with a trophy and coming 3rd in the league is a true representation of where we’re at as a squad. Or has klopp set such high standards that 3rd and a trophy leaves a feeling of under achieving?! Heads a mess!

My feeling is that it's slightly disappointing at the most, but hardly an absolute anticlimax. We were still in it with 5-6 games remaining, but I think we just happened to have our anual dip in form at the wrong time. After last year's performance and the fact that we kept chalking up the points while playing very well at times and very poorly at other times this season, I will admit I had hopes that we could cross the line first. But fine it didn't happen and that's football. After all, we still won a Cup (the Mickey Mouse one as some call it on here) and Klopp righted the ship from what was definitely a disastrous year last year. And he's leaving behind a rejuvenated squad with plenty of youngsters eager to prove themselves, so I have hope under the new manager.

A good season, much better than last, but nothing more than good.

Thank you Klopp for being honest about VAR. Am not sure he would said that if he was staying next season but who cares. What he said is absolutely correct! I just wish there were more high profile managers or owners that would do the same 👏🏼👏🏼.

Longthing, Klopp is letting it all hang out cos he's out the gaf. Can you blame him?

"Not being champion by a point is not a great experience but it's an experience. " Klopp at his last press conference. I think that actually sums up his time with us perfectly. It certainly has been one hell of an experience, ups and downs and everything in between.
Thank you Jurgen for everything.

Klopp's time here simply reflects life in general, IMO. Ups and down, rollercoaster rides taking your lumps and learning from them, winning some and losing some and getting knocked down BUT having the botttle to get back on that horse and go again. A Rocky-like story, if you like and we can all relate to thsuch a story.
The fact that during his tenure, he is ONLY second to Pep (for obvious reasons) in trophies won only shows how great he has been and how all the other PL managers could never hold a candle to him. Danke, Jurgen! .

Edd001 if Madrid make a huge bid for trent do you see him staying or leaving?

What is Trent even worth now?

I hope he does Ed001. Must be a slight temptation given he's good mates with Bellingham, but it's a little bit like the Coutinho situation. Stay here and he can be a legend. Go to Madrid and you're just another player who they will replace with a new Galactico without hesitation.
I just hope he stays as a midfielder or a winger. He used to shine there at youth level and got compared to Gerrard. I read a lot that he's too slow but he is actually a very powerful runner. He's not the quickest off the mark and that does hamper him up against explosive wingers, but once he gets going he has that same power that the likes of Gerrard and Vieira had carrying the ball or making a run beyond a team mate. I'd put him in as AM or RW where he looked best at youth level. I have no doubt that he'd smash it in either of those positions.
He's far too good going forward for us to want him to leave so it will surely come down to his decision.

I really hope he stays. Our best player on the ball, no doubt about it. Get him playing further forward.

Trents a boyhood red and his likely ambition will be to captain LFC, win the league and CL with his boyhood club.
Technically he's done all that already and with us about to go through a managerial change how close are we to winning the league and CL title next season or so on.
Real are building a world class squad with the new galacticos of Vinicius, Mbappe and Bellingham etc.
The pull of Real if they do want Trent might be too much.
In 7 months time he can negotiate a free transfer. It seems that all the negotiating power is with the player.

Longthing, What is Trent worth? Whatever any club is willing to pay for him. Seriously tho, I don't think we will sell if he does not make a fuss, which I don't think he will do either. So he stays, IMO.

I'm not connected to professional football in any shape or form, just an avid fan and observer like most on here, since a few decades.
TAA will probably be asking for at least 300K per week, at the least. How many of you want to pay him that much (minimum)?

I personally think Bradley is a more effective right back, I don’t see him as a centre midfielder as he shirks too many challenges too often and doesn’t seem to want to do the dirty work, can’t see him as a number 10 as he hasn’t the vision and intelligence of someone like De Bruyne and that lack of acceleration absolutely marks him out of being a winger at the top level, as you either need a burst of lightning pace or a bag of tricks to get you past a fullback and he has neither. IMHO, I think it time both parties moved on.

I love to see people writing off trent as a midfielder without ever seeing him actually play there. We have a liverpudian born and bred who loves the club and has won a CL and PL with us, and people are like nah he can't be good enough to adapt, yet milner could play everywhere.
Some weird takes on Trent of late.

He will sign a contract and stay, we'll have to sell others to get the new toys.

I'm having trouble replying to posts so thought I'd post a new one, in relation to the debate surrounding Trent. As I've already posted, I personally don't think he's able to cut it as a top class midfielder. I just think we would end up with a luxury player, who on the odd occasion smashes one in from 20 yards and plays one or two Hollywood passes a game. I can't see him being any better than Mac Allister in an advanced midfield role and he definitely doesn't have the attributes to play the holding role. He may be an adequate right sided midfielder, but then where does that leave Szob, Elliott and others.
So, as I've previously said, he needs to knuckle down and fight it out with Bradley for the right back spot. I personally think if we could get a Fabinho type holding midfielder, who can get across the pitch quickly, Trent could go back to being what he once was.

He needs to put in more of an effort and stop believing all the hype around him, Hollywood passes and strolling around the pitch is no good.

You might be right to be fair mate. If Slot really wants to play with an inverted full back then a Trent fully applying himself defensively is as good as it get's in theory.
THe key will be getting him to apply himself. That attempted challenge on Calvert-Lewin from the corner in the Derby loss was pathetic.

The good thing is he’s got real competition for a place, hopefully he will be made to work for it. He’s slacked off a bit and got complacent in recent years. The defence needs solidifying it’s been shocking this season at times.

MKS, you have hit the nail on the head. Trent IMO, is a good defender and that hs been proven in his career for the most part cos the reciepts are there. I still remember us worrying about how he would hold up vs Leroy Sane in the CL vs City in 17/ 18 and he shut him down in both games. In the FZA Cup final in 21/ 22, he dropped a master class defensively putting his oppo. no. Reece James to shame. I can keep going.
Now, it is also true that he can be very sloppy, lackadaisical and non challant in his interventions at times, like the Everton play you mentioned. That's what does my head in. He lacks aggressiveness in these areas where with a bit more application, he can be even more defensively sound. hopefully, Slot can help him here cos ability wise, only KDB is at his level esp. on the ball in the PL, IMO.

With talk of Trent being captain one day here’s vice captain and not showering himself in glory doing that, hardly charging around shouting support.
To me it’s just him doing more media.

Trent will stay and wants to stay. he should be moved to midfield and a team built around him. We are not desperate for money and selling your most valuable player just because it would raise funds is completely daft. I have no doubt he will be a midfielder next season with Bradley at RB.
Even though I fully believe this should happen it’s quite tough to decide who else plays in midfield between Mac and Harvey, obviously with a new DM hopefully coming in. Trent should also be appointed captain and Lord of Frodsham.

Trent isn't a midfielder and never will be in my opinion. He needs to fight it out with Bradley to nail the right back position. We all wait to see what Slot's take on it is, as it's only his opinion that matters.

Slot likes inverted FB's so I think Trent is going to play the same role under him. Personally, I do not like this whole inverted stuff for reasons I have explained already and think Trent should either play RB or in midfield and not both in one go BUT, what can I do. Let's see how Slot plays him in the inverted role and then, we can judge cos he may just tweak it a little bit.

Rome1977, I think Trent has to become a midfielder for us. His attitude to defending has been dreadful. I do think though that he could be superb in a free role behind the forward or out wide on the right side of attack whipping in crosses.
His ability to create from deep is great but it's no longer worth the lack of solidity at the back in my opinion, because he's regressed defensively for some reason. I'm concerned he might push for a move to Real Madrid though. I get that he's a local lad but that didn't stop Mcmanaman or Owen! If we're serious on Rodrygo to replace Salah as well, Madrid might see that as an opportunity to twist our arm.

I would 100% try him in midfield in preseason, that's the only way to tell if he'd fit a system.

Seen the quotes that Bellingham has been sending Trent pics of houses for sale in Madrid.
We all know clubs will get players to have a word with their mates etc. So i can't imagine Bellingham is doing this as a joke and Real are very much interested in Trent.

Might as well put Alison in midfield.
Both would be as about as useful as each other there.
The best thing for Trent and Liverpool would be for Trent to move on to a new club.

Didn’t Trent play in midfield coming through 5he age groups?

17 May 2024 12:16:55
Lol Walter, I agree Allison could probably do a job anywhere in the team and I could see him and Trent in midfield if injuries got too bad. Totally agree with MK here, Trent is a forward player and can hurt any team in the final third a born playmaker. Behind a striker that can finish this would be deadly.

Trent did play in midfield when he was coming through the ranks. And I don't get this "attitude towards defending" thing.
I believe that Trent is not being asked to track back but rather, be on standby to receive the ball when our other defenders win it so that he can launch a ball forward. And we all know he has the ability to do that. It sounds nice on paper but in practice, it just overwhelms our other defenders as they are being pulled all over the pitch. When Trent, as he has done occasionally this season, sticks out wide, he would track back and we look solid. This tells me that he is by instruction, nor being told to track back.

17 May 2024 12:37:03
So Trent can't play in midfield because he switches off, can't tackle, can't head, doesn't sprint back all the time etc?
Mac, Szob, Grav, Elliott and Jones don't do the above either but TAA is a better passer of the ball than all of them.

Finding all these “fans” who are asking Trent (one of our own) to move on very bizarre!
There’s a reason Madrid want him.
There’s a reason he’s been top for most assists in a premier league season.
I am also very against selling local players that understand the culture of the club, to replace them with players who definitely don’t (eg Rodrygo) … who do you think will cut and run when times get tough? And who will stay and fight?

17 May 2024 17:04:12
Navy Keith IMO, these "fans" are looking at the cash we can get for him (they don't even know what he is worth to us) so they can salivate on what new players they have discovered on FIFA we can splurge it on and go brag to their friends on Twitter saying, "We got (insert player here) ".
