Liverpool banter 9

03 May 2026 08:37:46
Just need to add, that the stories about Isak being injured in training are total BS....

With the all the days that the lads had off this week, no training was able to be had so Isak couldn't have been injured in training!

03 May 2026 09:01:25
Jlc, so what's happened, why is he out for 2 weeks. 🤔

03 May 2026 09:43:48
I heard from a very reliable source that Isak is injured and will miss the United game.

03 May 2026 10:12:06
He may be injured but it wasn't in training. What training? They have been on holiday all chuffing week. He likely slipped on the soap in the shower.

03 May 2026 10:38:56
If we keep saying they don't train, people will start believing it.
It'll be LFC version of weapons of mass destruction.

03 May 2026 10:41:29
Confirmed, the injury didn't actually happen during training; spaghetti legs forgot he's meant to loosen up every morning in a pot of hot water for 10 minutes, and proceeded to pull his groin as he bopped around the kitchen whilst cooking himself a full English. The real culprit here was the artist known as PSY. Isak reportedly did the damage as he attempted to imitate the artist's signature dance move.

The cowboy-style gallop involves a particular open-hipped gait that can put excessive tension on the groin area if performed without the proper warm-up routine. The move is most famously associated with Isak's favourite song, Gangam Style. Apparently, Isak was aware of the risk, but just couldn't help himself as it came on the radio.

02 May 2026 22:29:54
A win tomorrow and Champions League is secured. Only Bournemouth could slip in by winning the remaining games and us losing 3/4.

02 May 2026 23:21:44
Be great to get the win tomorrow, but can you really see that happening?
Maybe a draw, but we are missing too many first team players.
So just hoping that we play well, and fingers crossed.
Bet United see it as their cup final tho.

02 May 2026 23:35:45
No, Isak according to reports. I'd go Rio, Gakpo, Frimpong front 3.

02 May 2026 23:51:08
If Isak is out, then Wirtz, Gakpo, Frimpong.

Rio needs to work on his defensive work to start these games. He has superstar potential, but he needs to graft defensively and improve that end product.

Wirtz, Gakpo, Frimpong is a hard working front 3.

02 May 2026 23:52:10
Going off this season, we'd get beat with a full squad anyway.

03 May 2026 08:31:51
Spot on, LFC8

Not sure injuries can be used as an excuse if we get beat.

Just going into the game and hoping for anything positive....

03 May 2026 09:13:46
Slot has already made up his mind we will lose by stating Man U have played less mid week games, even though the team had even more days off this week.

03 May 2026 10:02:54
I actually fancy us to take some points today!

Don't ask me why I do, but I'll go 1-1 or 2-1 us.

03 May 2026 10:37:59
7-0. Vibes! YNWA!

No, I'll go with 2-2.

03 May 2026 10:46:35
We are going to get spanked today.

03 May 2026 10:52:31
Snatch your hand off for a 1-1 draw.

03 May 2026 13:23:36
Fatwallet, you know Slot has to get his excuses in early. I mean, he wouldn't be Arne Slot of this season if he didn't do that.

02 May 2026 22:28:03.
Can any of the ITK confirm if we have any interest in Anderson? Surely has to be a player we are looking at as he is the type of player we are crying out for.

Fair enough I hear he’s City bound but wasn’t Wirtz City bound as well?

02 May 2026 23:04:32
We seem nailed on to go for Wharton. Anderson being linked with Manchester clubs.

02 May 2026 23:19:31
Both would be ideal. We are likely to sell McAllister, Endo, Jones, Elliot and a few youngsters.

02 May 2026 23:24:53
Anderson will cost too much, so Wharton will be an upgrade on Macca, think the lad is only 22 yrs old, so able to be coached and trained to a higher level.

02 May 2026 23:52:17
We don't coach and train players anymore, Kop that. We give them a few days off instead. That's why our entire squad bar Szoboszlai has regressed.

03 May 2026 07:50:41
"Wharton can be coached to a higher level" Haha, well he's not getting any better as it stands.

03 May 2026 08:34:06
So Macca has had a terrible season, but that goes for 90% of our squad.

But why do people say that Wharton is an upgrade on Macca?

03 May 2026 13:19:22
The things Wharton is lacking can't be coached, he's too slow, too immobile and defensively all over the place.

03 May 2026 13:27:54
Frode, the bigger question is "Who" will be coaching Wharton (or whoever) to this higher level next season?

Cos, as @Babbity said, it can't be this guy named Slot. He doesn't even coach the players he actually has this season already.



@JLC, could it just be that Wharton does not have that much to do to be an upgrade on Macca, based on what we have seen? Just asking.

02 May 2026 21:08:09
Was anyone else buzzing earlier when they announced that King Kenny was in the new series of Celebrity Traitors, to then find out that it's some YouTuber/boxer I never heard of? Nothing against this guy, but I was gutted when I found out it wasn't our King Kenny.

02 May 2026 22:18:14
What's celebrity traitors?

02 May 2026 23:02:20
It's a show about Coutinho, Suarez and TAA.

02 May 2026 23:27:04
Ha ha, not sure who would win that one, but maybe, oh I won't say it.

02 May 2026 23:54:00
Surely TAA isn't a celebrity.

03 May 2026 00:15:21
Nick Barmby?

03 May 2026 04:49:27
TAA will be a celebrity when he wins his Ballon d'Or. Any year now.

03 May 2026 07:11:06
Hahahahahahhaah brilliant Wdw.

03 May 2026 07:51:31
I'd rather watch our season on repeat than that garbage.

02 May 2026 20:35:59
Does anyone know if Edwards and Hughes knew that Slots family wouldn't move over to England, if they knew they obviously thought it wouldn't be a problem, so what is their thought process when deciding this very important factor in choosing a manager for one of the top clubs in the world?

02 May 2026 21:18:11
Let's be honest, if I could get out the UK and raise my kids elsewhere, I would......

Never mind moving them here and making them suffer. 🤣

02 May 2026 21:57:03
Meg, you on 5 million a year? I'm sure England is a great place with that amount of money.

02 May 2026 22:19:06
They signed Slot, not his wife and kids.

02 May 2026 23:07:42
Chewy, your powers of observation are amazing.

03 May 2026 00:07:04
Thanks Strom, it actually took me a while to do the full analysis on this one.

03 May 2026 07:11:56
Chewy, don't be surprised to see Mrs Slot starting at right back today.

03 May 2026 09:16:11
He would play Isaac there, his wife would be the no.9.

03 May 2026 13:31:03
Strom, my question is that if both of these clowns have been told by Slot that he hasn't settled here and would like to go back to Holland (which is his right) then why are they trying to keep him, per reports?

Why are they trying to convince him to stay against his wishes, which is also bad? That's the part I don't get.

02 May 2026 20:32:49
Ok ladies and gents…. Let’s have a predication of next year with Slot and without Slot at the wheel.

Predications with Slot remaining:

First ten games we get battered and fall into the bottom half of the table. Slot blames everyone including the tea lady for not having his tea hot enough. He becomes Rodger’s 2.0 and gets sacked after we get humped by Coventry at home were Arne references the past PSG games for some random reason. Hughes and Edwards final admit they got it wrong despite letting their egos get in the way for past 18 months claiming he’s the next coming of Klopp….



Predications without Slot:
Some manager comes in with an idea of how the hell to get the players fit and play more intense games though intense training.

We challenge for the PL and CL and with the FA cup. I would go as far as winning one of the other big ones too, the pro Slot fans come out the wood work saying we only won as this is “slots team” and him giving the players random time off so he could nip home before big games for a “break” was the reason the players are so firing on all cylinders this year and it was all Salah, Jones and any other player who spoke outs fault last year…

02 May 2026 21:38:23
Prediction for tomorrow with Slot and without Salah, a good Old Trafford thrashing!

Prediction for next season with Slot and without Salah and Hugo more thrashings!

The players want him gone, more than the true fans!

02 May 2026 23:32:01
The game tomorrow will be a hard game to watch. Think they will be too fast and furious for us to deal with.
Thinking maybe 2 nil, maybe 3 nil.
Watching this one with fingers and toes crossed.

02 May 2026 20:20:57
"Any truth to the Isak rumour? All reports seem to come from a single source (the scum rag)"

02 May 2026 21:50:51
What's the rumour " he's the only capable fit forward we have for tomorrow " and that's only his usual half a game?

The LFC under 21 team had to cancel today??? They are all on the bench for tomorrow, to fill it two academy goalkeepers on the bench also.



Circa £450 million pre-season does not buy you a lot nowadays, Wharton £80 million Palace wants "oh my god".

02 May 2026 23:04:30
Saturday night and it's party time.

02 May 2026 20:05:04
Apparently Isak out with a groin strain.

Oh joy.

02 May 2026 21:56:56
Dominik will play in goal as Woodman is unavailable, also ???

Another 7-0 on the cards !!!! If we're lucky !!!!

02 May 2026 19:26:57
This is a rumours site and I think everybody respects that.

However, I think one thing will become clearer in the next few weeks? Is basically some of the main posters, Carra, Fields, Robbo, and one or two others!! In that some have definitely nailed their opinions (information) to Slot in or out.

So, it will be definitely interesting as one or two will be looked at as a lot more reliable. Not that we don’t appreciate all the guys for the rumours info. So thanks guys… P. S. Any nailed on players from out the blue,
cheers.

02 May 2026 20:52:53
To me it's not a case of which ITK comes out with the most "integrity" when the season ends and Slot either stays or goes.

It's pretty simple that someone is leaking different stories to different people. Edwards is like our version of Perez.

End of the day regardless what happens at the end of the day it's a rumours site, people who claim to know what's going on are giving their opinion, just because they differ doesn't mean they are wrong or right, just means they are putting what they say to know in a rumours site for people to either believe or not.

The only issue I have is all these "older and brand new" posters claiming to now be ITK as Ed2 sadly departed us. He was the oracle of ITK and everyone else really pales in comparison. Still a great site and have a great laugh reading some of the "rumours" on here.
