Hey eds, probably been asked a lot but how likely is it that my hero Joe will be off in the summer? Really don't want to see him go but think it's probably going to happen.

Believable3 Unbelievable13

{Ed001's Note - the club are open to selling him, how likely anyone is to buy him is difficult to ascertain, but recent performances have increased the chances of him leaving.}

14 Mar 2016 15:16:15
Thanks for the reply bud, enjoy the game on Thursday.

Agree2 Disagree11

{Ed001's Note - fingers crossed. I already have the day planned out as a complete repeat of last Thursday just to make sure....

14 Mar 2016 15:25:54
Out of interest what are your thoughts on Allen? Not a £15m player or whatever BR paid for him but I think he's been solid for us pretty much since he joined and has largely been used as a scapegoat by some of our fans.

Agree10 Disagree14

{Ed001's Note - he is ok, but his wages are too high for the role he performs in our team. It would be better for everyone if he moved on and got himself regular football.}

14 Mar 2016 15:30:11
Alright. Cheers ed.

Agree2 Disagree11

{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate.}

14 Mar 2016 16:29:00
What sort of wage would he be on?

Agree0 Disagree11

{Ed001's Note - first team regular level.}

14 Mar 2016 16:35:46
Allens decent but lacks the speed of thought and movement to be good enough also his shooting is poor very rarely hit at a good trajectory.

Agree3 Disagree22

14 Mar 2016 18:10:50
Joe is a good player but i think we have youngsters coming through that can do the same job on less money at this stage and have the potential under Klopp to develop into better players. Namely Stewart and Chirvella.

Agree9 Disagree13

14 Mar 2016 19:06:24
He has shown improvement under Klopp - I think we would mostly agree on that, but I am not sure how he fits in with current midfielders and incoming/ possible targets. I think he will be moved on and wish him the best if he does, another case of it just didn't work out.

Agree4 Disagree13

14 Mar 2016 20:19:43
Tim, I know he is young but whenever I've watched Chirivella for either the senior team or the youth team I haven't been overly impressed. Hopefully he can prove me wrong.

Agree5 Disagree16

14 Mar 2016 20:35:58
He has shown improvement, but I'm pretty sure he's only started against Exeter, maybe once in Europe. He normally comes in against tired players as the third centre mid, is he good enough to play in a midfield two if needed?

Agree1 Disagree9

14 Mar 2016 20:41:09
I think he will Joe. He has got technique and vision and once he has developed strength he will improve more. Everything is there with him and I believe he is under the right manager to push on. This applies to Stewert too.

Agree1 Disagree12

14 Mar 2016 20:46:18
He started against a very strong West Ham team and played 100 mins and we were very good in that game. He played with Stewert and they dominated the midfield.

Agree6 Disagree11

14 Mar 2016 21:35:23
Don't really need Joe Pirlo now that we have Kev Stiles and Pedro Alonso coming through and ready to play. Not to mention Cameron Pogba.

Agree1 Disagree15

14 Mar 2016 22:37:50
Tim I was going to say he played well in the West Ham game so hopefully more of that instead of the performance I saw from him against United's U21s 😀.

Agree3 Disagree9

15 Mar 2016 09:03:34
For once I agree, Chirivella looks like a poor mans jay spearing just less john watson looking, One good half of football does make him mustard and he is nothing compared to his international compatriot the speedy spaniard sergio gomez who is 16.Anyway I would say that brannagan is ahead of young chirio in the pecking. If he gets in the starting eleven again this year I may just have to cry a river over carlisle.

Agree2 Disagree11

{Ed001's Note - really? I like Chirivella.}

15 Mar 2016 09:12:54
just curious as to what you think his best attributes are ed? or what he offers a team?

Agree0 Disagree7

{Ed001's Note - range of passing, vision, workrate, positional sense, defensive responsibility, willingness to learn, off the top of my head.}

15 Mar 2016 09:21:11
Thanks for the reply ed I, along with my my fellow reds, will be hoping to see this for the first team in the future, he's tied down to a new contract so will have the time to prove himself, cheers chap.

Agree0 Disagree7

{Ed001's Note - welcome mate.}

15 Mar 2016 10:33:13
He just poor man version of iniesta.

Agree0 Disagree11

{Ed001's Note - Chirivella? He is absolutely nothing like Iniesta in any way, shape or form. There is no comparison other than their nationalities. Iniesta is an attacking midfielder, Chirivella a defensive one. How on earth did you come up with that ludicrous comment?}

15 Mar 2016 11:35:51
Sorry but Allen is badly awful always has been yes he's better unr3r klopp but still not Liverpool level. and are youth who have had a go have been way better than Joe Allen by miles.

Agree1 Disagree7

15 Mar 2016 11:38:36
Me too see nth special about chivirella. Too lightweight and did nth great. Keep things simple too. Doesn't seem to be aggressive enough. I'm more impress with Brannagan.

Agree3 Disagree6

15 Mar 2016 12:24:20
Hi eds, i mean joe pirlo is poor man's iniesta.

Agree0 Disagree6

15 Mar 2016 13:31:09
Dog almighty, some of you write like you've got 10 thumbs.

It's very harsh to criticize Chirivella at this stage of his development, he's very young. Klopp clearly sees potential in him. He's the kind of player that does the simple things well and can go unnoticed, but knits a team together on the field. Maybe one who could benefit form a loan next season or the following season.

Joe Allen is also a very different sort of player to Iniesta. It is pointless to insist on making such a comparison. He's a good lad, but expensive for a squad player, as Ed said. Much like Benteke or Skerts, they may have their uses at times, but the wages they are on should be reserved for players in the starting rotation.

Agree1 Disagree4

{Ed001's Note - it is pointless, some people are just living in a bizarre world, Allen is about as similar in style to Iniesta as he is in style to Pepe Reina!}

15 Mar 2016 14:03:48
Im not jon flanagan I don't have ten thumbs, cheeky mister.

Agree2 Disagree5

15 Mar 2016 14:13:25
It's just laziness. Should we just write Rakitic and Coutinho in the same sentence to get some clicks? It serves no purpose to make these comparisons between such different players. Save it for players who can actually be described as even sort of similar please, lads.

Although, now you mention it. Reina is definitely a poor man's Rooney, who is in turn a poor man's Hulk, who is a rich man's Bale. Erm, yeah. I'm confused too.

Agree0 Disagree5

15 Mar 2016 15:05:04
Not you Zoom, buddy.
I'm just struggling to get the words 'badly awful' into a sentence. ;)

Agree0 Disagree5

15 Mar 2016 16:17:34
I guess Jurgen disagrees with the posters who don't rate Chirivella.

Agree0 Disagree6

14 Mar 2016 10:36:11
Hi eds, can u see daniel sturridge getting moved on in the summer?

Believable3 Unbelievable19

{Ed001's Note - not from here no.}

14 Mar 2016 14:46:56
Hope he stays.

Agree8 Disagree8

14 Mar 2016 15:02:11
Amazing how many people on here wanted him to leave only a few months ago.

Agree11 Disagree10

15 Mar 2016 05:29:04
We are creatures of the now!

Agree1 Disagree7

16 Mar 2016 00:20:45
No no. Joe Allen himself said he midelled his game after iniesta. I must say in matter of keeping ball and passing he has done quite well.

Agree0 Disagree0

Morning redmen, its been a long weekend without a Liverpool match!
With that in mind here's the loan report to hopefully help stop the boredom!

Grujic and red star didn't play this weekend as their match was postponed.

Allen and sint truiden drew 1-1. As their website has no translation I don't have the slightest idea how he played 😂 sorry.

Luis Alberto came on for the last half you with deportivo trailing 1-0. However his appearance did not have the desired effect as they went on to lose 3-0 to atletico Madrid.

Ballotelli kept the bench warm as AC drew 0-0 with chievo.

Markovic watched on from the injury room as fenerbache stayed top with a 1-0 win.

Awoniyi started and played for 70 before being subbed off when the game was 1-1.
Minutes after his sub they conceded and went on to lose 3-1. When will their gaffa realise they don't lose with him on the pitch!

Yesil didn't even make the bench this week as luzern won 2-1.

Swindon fought back from 2 goals down to draw 2-2 with millwall. Vigouroux played the full 90 as Swindon continue to climb the table

Wisdom watched on from the injury room as Norwich kept a rare clean sheet in the 0-0 draw with city.

Pompey got hammered 3-0 at him by Newport as their promotion push continues to fade.
Fulton played the full 90 in goal.

Canos got booked and subbed after an hour as brentford lost 3-0 to qpr.

And that's your lot.
A few wins in there, but unfortunately our boys weren't involved in them.
Now counting down the days to Thursday!
Come on you reds!
