Ryan Gravenberch is on the verge of a contract extension. Will likely be finalised in the coming days/ weeks.
05 Oct 2025 02:44:11
Brilliant stuff. We have needed cover at centre half ?.

What was the point of giving Chiesa the Southampton game, he was man of the match and then nah Slotto drops him to 10 min cameo if he's lucky. Starting to think Slotto has a problem with his own ego, he's spent 230m on 2 strikers and an 11m man who would run through a brick wall for the team gets dropped, Slots refusing to see past his opinion and not play Chiesa based on his opinion, Klopps team mate won you a prem and you think it was you, is it no surprise you are shafting Chiesa and thinking we were unlucky in losing 3 games in a row and deservedly so. When you hear its not my fault excuses you know he's out of his depth. All the fears of Klopp leaving are now playing out.

We’re second having had a pretty tough opening set of fixtures and the team haven’t started clicking yet after a big transition of players in key positions. If you watch slott’s pre and post match conferences, he is completely all over it. We were hardly blowing teams away last year. The margins in most of the games are small and we have been winning them most of the time abut last couple not. Slott knows what he’s doing.

too many attackers in the teams and the away gial is so congested we don't score.
atm i find the other teams, playing football more better, taking shots / crosses from the wing, we just don't do that.
Gravenberch needs help in defense, i miss the old days of mascheano / alonson partnership when our defence was solid.
Also im prefering Etike over Isak, in attack he gives us a bit more that just waiting for the ball.

I'm not trying to be overly critical, but Slot's "small margins" comments are concerning. These results are not just teams getting the better of us; every game this year including the wins have been unconvincing because the team selection and tactics were not correct. It's obviously difficult right now trying to integrate so many new players, but to the concerning part is that Slot doesn't seem willing to play the players from last year in the right positions nor the players that are in form. Consequently, we are struggling more than we need to be at the moment. I'm hoping things get straightened out, but we're going in the wrong direction at the moment and the concern is that Slot isn't seeing that.

He sounds a little like Big Ange at Forest. I don't get playing players out of position but it’s his call. I don't like the football right now but I back to sort it.
05 Oct 2025 22:34:45
Should have been Ekitike playing CF and chiesa left wing, both should have started the game.
Why he is rotating Ekitike when he is clearly in goal scoring form I don't know.
Especially after two defeats, resulting in our third defeat.

Will be an unpopular opinion but who cares. Chores has started 1 PL game in 14 months which was a dead rubber v Brighton.
He’s proven he looks good against a championship side in Southampton and coming off the bench against tired legs.
I’d be more than happy to see him start more games and prove his worth but I honestly don’t think he’s the saviour that many have him painted to be.
06 Oct 2025 16:48:18
Chiesa not chores.
{Ed025's Note - yeah JK, a chore is watching Liverpool at the moment mate.. :)
06 Oct 2025 17:58:36
Always trust Ed025 to cheer my day. Forgot to even look at your game this weekend ? you're just bitter as the red half of the city are far better looking!
{Ed025's Note - im knocking on a bit now SM but when i was younger i was a stud muffin mate, the ladies could not resist me...and even a few guys tried their luck but without any success, im actually still a bit of a silver fox now.. :)
06 Oct 2025 19:11:53
I don't think anybody is painting him out to be a savior, JK, but he's proven that he deserves consideration for a start, especially since those ahead of him are struggling for form a little bit. He's not some mug or a kid either, he's a vastly experienced international with pedigree and technical ability.
06 Oct 2025 19:48:10
Spot on Patrick. What the team needs right now is someone going forward to do something, anything, make something happen. He might not be the flying winger he used to be but he's still a very technically able player who leaves it all on the pitch. A few more of them wouldn't go amiss right now that's for sure.
06 Oct 2025 19:38:24
Would love to have a beer with ed25 but feel it’s never going to happen.
{Ed025's Note - never say never Ace..
06 Oct 2025 20:10:19
Ok I will hold on to this.
07 Oct 2025 02:06:16
Going back to the OP, wow, 64 likes and counting. Not seen those numbers since Oli liked his own post over 100 times.
07 Oct 2025 06:36:26
I’m not saying he’s a mug and I’d be more than happy to see him start.
I’m just stating he’s only started 1 PL game in 14 months.
All his good moments have come off the bench against tired legs or a Championship team.
08 Oct 2025 10:26:43
Yeah but whenever he has come on, he has done more than salah his whole had started every game and been absolute dog shizzle. I’d actually drop salah and play Chiesa instead, at least he will show more willingness and desire than salah is at the moment.
08 Oct 2025 11:31:21
I believe that if Chiesa had been fully fit he would have played against Chelsea. You can't say a single negative thing about the guy so far this season and how many other players can you say that about (maybe Rio)?
09 Oct 2025 08:23:30
Shipley he’s done well mate but he’s only played 153 minutes and Rio 101 minutes.
Which is about 10% of the seasons game time.
