Ed1 what’s the reason g for Salah being muscled out? He just signed a new contract and has been our best player for a number of years seems odd.
{Ed001's Note - Slot doesn't want him, he doesn't fit the new set up or with the new signings and his sale would raise funds.}

Thanks ed1 still seems weird if Slot is moving on that we sell our POTY and golden boot winner who still has plenty to offer!

Slots going nowhere for now.

Would Van Dijk also be in danger given his performances, age and wages being paid to him?
07 Dec 2025 20:26:31
Slot was brought in to oversee a transition / overhaul the squad. It’s a massive job that will need to see legends like Salah, VVD, Ali, Robbo all move on eventually. There’s going to be bumps in the road.
07 Dec 2025 20:30:01
We will see.
07 Dec 2025 19:35:36
You think Van Dijk is next on the line Ed? He is our second highest earner after all and his performance hasn't been that good either.
{Ed001's Note - it would make sense, but the issues within the squad are partly about Slot favouring Dutch players, so he will probably stay a bit longer.}

Not a dig Ed,
Just because you mentioned it.
Do you know what the new set up is? Or what slot wants it to be?
Right now I see no sort of system and a team of individuals.
Interested to hear your opinion and inside info.
{Ed001's Note - Slot envisaged a season where we mostly faced low blocks, so he wanted the team set up to smother them and keep them hemmed in with players all over them. A creative player, which turned out to be Wirtz, was to provide the guile to break through, while Isak was to be the fox in the box, so to speak. The idea was to hold onto possession, as the opposition can't score when they don't have the ball. Except they can, as they can force errors or press and win the ball in dangerous areas when your team is focused so heavily on holding onto the ball.}

Carra is right. Slot is dead man walking. I don’t know what sources you have to make that statement, Florian, or whether it’s your go at wish fulfilment, but what Carra is saying about a meeting and a change at the top is backed up by my contacts whom I worked with, including two former Liverpool captains.
Carra is the only person on here, aside from Ed 001, worth listening to.

And here comes yet another ITK.
07 Dec 2025 20:06:49
I even helped to get Stan his movie role so pipe down, fan girl.
07 Dec 2025 20:14:34
It is good to have a few ITKs than a crowd of mouth flappers. There’s going to to be some people who know a lot more than us mate.

Thanks Ed. As always!

Ed but you can do all that without using the tactics we are using now, no? Klopp had a system to smother his opponents and batter them esp. for the low blocks, for the most part.
I can understand what Slot was trying to do BUT the path he is using is wrong and clearly does not work. Now in one of your responses to my post yesterday (thanks, btw), the staff is looking at stats (possession, shots on target, chances conceded etc. ) rather than the real stat which is the score. Players and fans want to win and see it as the objective. However it seems Slot is not interested in that. But don't worry, this is all Mo's fault.
{Ed001's Note - I agree.}
