Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there today, whether your a red or not, you are all truly awesome for keeping everything together and putting everyone else 1st, that's what dads do without looking for praise or recognition.
So just to remind you all, keep doing what your doing. You are all great men, never forget that even if your not told it that often!!!

I just thought of something that could completely scupper out season. We haven't got a Scottish player on the pitch.
Someone get hold of Hughes quick. We've never won the league without a Scot in the team.
I know we have Ramsey but he needs to be on the pitch then.
21 Jun 2026 09:42:54
Which Scotsman would you all take if we could sign one?
Also, isn't there a stat that every Liverpool team to win the league has always had a Scotsman as a regular starter? Or am I talking pure waffle?
21 Jun 2026 09:05:24
Don’t think it’s fair to judge Diomande on one game. I’ve read a lot of ‘based on the game last night he’s not good enough’ type comments.
Surely best judge him on the season he’s just had with Leipzig rather than one game last night. A game by the way in which he created a goal that many in his position wouldn’t have created.
He also kept working and showing. His first 20
minutes were poor but then he showed the character to shrug that off and create a goal.
He can use both feet, is very quick, works hard, seems to have a mane like attitude to life and the game, can create and can score. If we get him I for one would
be very excited to see what he can do.
21 Jun 2026 09:19:54
I agree. People are taking a 'short term view' of him. Perhaps they should take another viewpoint, whose name escapes me...
21 Jun 2026 09:38:36
Agree, LTV
He is a great kid, still true, though, that we should not be paying close to £100m to secure him.
This is a highly promising kid. Should be no more than an educated £50-60m punt in the hope he develops into something special.
21 Jun 2026 08:45:15
I look others in here, am very excited about any new signings we make.
However I feel as though Wirtz will be our best player next season. Seeing him play in this World Cup, I’m reminded that his level is higher than most in this tournament. His movement, his awareness, the passes he sees and the way he plays them, the ability to do things many others can’t and being able to do so in dangerous areas.
If he can stay injury free for the majority of the season, plays under a more front footed manager with some better players around him, I think he’ll fly next season.
21 Jun 2026 09:10:55
I think all the players we bought last season will show their quality better in the new system. Hopefully Wirtz/Isak fire. I think they should in the system. Isak if he can stay fit.
Frimpong, Kerkez should be way more suited to this system as full backs.
21 Jun 2026 08:18:50
I can't remember who said we were being linked with Felix Nmecha but he looked very good for Germany last night. Really impressed with him.
21 Jun 2026 08:44:12
He has always looked good the times I have seen him.
He reminds me of Bellingham.
21 Jun 2026 09:09:33
Apparently Nmecha's agent is offering him to us and Man Utd. Why just us two? I don't know. That's the thread of a few links over the last couple of days.
21 Jun 2026 09:21:57
I'm not so sure about him being like Bellingham nigerred, I've never seen him do an Oxo advert.
21 Jun 2026 01:49:08
It’s easy to forget Diomande is only 19.
Also, the article he posted in memory of his sister was heartbreaking. I want to support the guy wherever he goes, but this is some weight he is bearing… Many would break under it.
I haven’t seen much of him play, but I certainly won’t judge him based on the World Cup.
21 Jun 2026 08:00:42
It's that type of attitude that makes someone a superstar. As you say, pain like that can make or break someone. From his letter, he is going to use it as fuel and let nothing get in his way.
Whatever happens with him, it's going to be fascinating to see how he grows.
21 Jun 2026 00:14:23
Not going to lie, was much more impressed by Nmecha than Diomande. Means nothing as it’s just one game and they play different positions, but as far as auditions go. Not sure how genuine the interest is in Nmecha, but he was great.
Diomande showed flashes in the first half, but second half he looked like Salah on a bad day, running into players or passing straight to the opposition. I saw people saying his values going up with every touch, well the opposite should be true here.
21 Jun 2026 08:09:02
I thought Diomande's touch let him down the first 20 minutes after the hydration break. He was a real nuisance and created their goal. Second half, Ivory Coast struggled to impose themselves on the game, and so Diomande didn't really get into it.
The thing I liked most about Diomande is that he keeps trying, that is what you want from your widemen.
Mo would often have games where he was ineffective, but persistency then pop up with class when it mattered most.
First I have seen or heard of Nmecha. He looks great and like what our cm needs, however it is just one game.
20 Jun 2026 23:33:20
How fortunate are we to have Wirtz in our team. He just oozes class. His first touch, passing, positioning is just a joy to behold. He is the real deal and thank goodness he's a Liverpool player. Looking forward to seeing him working with and playing Iraola style fast positive football next season.
20 Jun 2026 23:50:58
His ability is second to none, but he went missing for a lot of that game, to be honest.
21 Jun 2026 00:31:12
He's a luxury player. Some of his game has to change to suit a more direct, fast paced style of play we prefer to adopt. He's a possession based player that likes more time on the ball and is lightweight, but he has bags of talent. I just think we are more of a Coutinho type of team when it comes to the 10 role than Wirtz. Wirtz is more of an Arsenal under Wenger type of 10.
The jury is still out for me when it comes to Wirtz and Isak. Nothing was shown last season that made me think they were worth the money we paid for them, but that's probably largely down to the manager. Obviously I'm being a harsh critic and will still back and support them, but it's the truth.
21 Jun 2026 00:54:18
They are both worth the money if we get the best out of them. Both have shown they are world class, but they need a team structure around them that allows them to play.
Nobody can do it on their own.
21 Jun 2026 01:59:10
Riosstepover, that's proving to be a very big 'if'. Your main point is still a massive cause for concern. They might need a team structured around them, and that's ok when you're a smaller club, but we're Liverpool. We don't buy individual talent and then build a team around them; we buy up and coming talent who fit our system.
Hughes and Edwards went massively against the grain last season, which has left us trying to shoehorn record signings into a dysfunctional system. It was a major mismatch. I do hope Iraola and a couple of wingers can rectify the issue, but I agree with Kman, the jury is very much out for both players still, at least when they wear red.
21 Jun 2026 02:12:07
Couldn't agree more. Wirtz is more than capable of adapting to a fast paced attacking game, his intelligence and ability is there, he just needs some league confidence and a coherent plan which was not forthcoming from Slot.
Having a manager who is more invested will make us unrecognisable next season from this last season's shower of s****. Exciting times ahead.
21 Jun 2026 03:12:31
That's true, Chewy. But to be fair to him, Slot's football and system didn't suit any of our players and made all of them look poorer than they actually are. Like you mentioned, the system itself was dysfunctional. I think we'd be seeing a very different team this season under Iraola.
21 Jun 2026 03:41:16
Dracred, I agree, it's unfortunate that there was such a lack of cohesion these last 12 months, but I do have high hopes going forward.
21 Jun 2026 04:37:10
A properly-managed Wirtz will be the best player in the Premier League, I have no doubt that. It is also up to him. He has to apply himself as he has done so far, but he is a genuinely exceptional player.
21 Jun 2026 06:24:22
I think the key aspect is every single player underperformed last season. The common denominator seems to be the coach and the way of playing over the fact they all lost their ability overnight.
Fully agree, the jury is still out on Isak and Wirtz in a red shirt, as well as every other signing we made.
Hopefully, we have the manager that can not only get the best out of these players but also make games enjoyable again.
21 Jun 2026 06:34:20
Florian Wirtz is an absolute joy to watch.
He's pure class. Thank goodness he's ours!
21 Jun 2026 07:20:41
To play Wirtz more centrally, it would have to be 4-2-3-1 with Isak up front.
Who would be the two deep-lying midfielders if we sign Wharton, if it’s him, and Grav Szob would be benched to accommodate Wirtz in the team at 10?
21 Jun 2026 08:54:47
Wirtz went missing last night? He was playing left side of a front 3. What are you expecting? He was involved in the game an awful lot. 9 ball recoveries, 103 passes, 2 chances created, and on the eye test alone, I didn’t see him go missing. He was always showing and trying to affect the game.
20 Jun 2026 23:32:54
Yan Diomande is an exciting young rascal of a player! No way Liverpool or anyone else should be paying £100m + for the lad at 19! That is not a criticism of the player because in 4 or 5 years he has the potential to be world class! He is not ready for a big move and the pressure of replacing Mo Salah!
The lad would be still learning on the job should LFC sign him!
The way LFC are run currently, Yan probably sees out a 6 year contract and PSG or Madrid get his peak years!?
20 Jun 2026 23:52:08
The lad isn't in it for money.
For anybody who hasn't read it, do a search on Google for 'Dear Roxane by Yan Diomande'. The lad should be welcomed with open arms.
21 Jun 2026 00:34:16
Nice kid and very talented footballer, but that doesn't mean LFC should be paying Leipzig £100m + to sign him! If LFC sign him I will back the lad!
Sign that young Swiss lad who scored a brace off the bench the other day, and one of the back up targets for a similar fee to what Yan is going to cost + Munoz, then LFC have depth and competition for places!
The big spend should be that Moroccan kid for midfield!?
Hey ho, what do I know, mate, it's only opinion, mate.
21 Jun 2026 00:41:23
I wasn't having a go, @HNID, more me talking about the character of the lad more than anything.
21 Jun 2026 00:45:12
Yes, let's sign someone on the back of a randomly good performance in a World Cup because that always well, doesn't it, HNID? Right?
21 Jun 2026 00:58:43
Look, Spuds have just had a bid of £80m rejected for Tonali. A bang average midfielder who's injured 50% of the time.
Forest have rejected a bid of £120m for Elliot Anderson.
Diomande is worth the money because £100m is nothing these days.
We just need to make sure we set these players up in a team they can actually play in. Not the shambles we had last season.
21 Jun 2026 02:07:24
The money is irrelevant, it's not ours! The club is financially run very well, all transfer fees are bonkers, so all we can do is hope those that are signed add something to the squad. The kid is only 19, but a man mountain, he can run, turn, fight, cross and harangue the opposition, and he will be ours. After the horrid season and a half of dross we've had to endure, there's no need to go looking for something to moan about, the powers that have instigated significant change and that will require investment, rest assured, they do know what they're doing, with amortisation over the length of the contract, it isn't really crazy costs in the grand scheme of the modern game.
We should all be over the moon with what is being built, the significant investment in academy assets is really securing our future, with a clear pathway to first team football back on the agenda, now Slot has gone, the kids will want to come. So very exciting for the short, medium and long term.
21 Jun 2026 04:21:00
Sorry £100m is nothing these days? If you have it to spare, I can find a good home for it. 🙂 😉
21 Jun 2026 06:18:48
There's some ridiculous things being claimed on here because people have a hard on for Diomande.
Can someone point me to the last time that 100mil transfer wasn't for someone considered to be one of the best in their position?
This lad has 1 year of proper footy under his belt, which he did well.
It's a huge gamble that people are prepared to take.
21 Jun 2026 06:40:28
From the few times I've seen Diomande play, I've been really impressed. If we can get him, he's gonna be immense for us.
Although to me, he seems to look more comfortable, and looks more effective playing on the left rather than right wing.
21 Jun 2026 07:18:22
130m Euros now, to lose him on a free to RM in 5 years' time, that's gonna hurt!!!!
21 Jun 2026 07:49:19
I think if the club can sign him, and sign the other players they want, then it's fine. If the budget is too badly affected by a huge outlay on Diomande, then maybe the club should tread carefully.
He looks an exciting player to me, very raw, be great to have him, but I would expect it to take time for him to settle into the pace of the league.
21 Jun 2026 09:07:32
Grealish 100 mill
Anderson if he goes 100 mill
Coutinho well over 100 mill
Jao Felix over 100 m
Caicedo over 100 m
Enzo over 100 m
Griezman over 100m
Lukaku 100 m I think
Couple maybe debatable, but honestly, a lot of the players who are over 100 m are or were not the best in the world in their position when moving.
