Bradley injured again and also Wirtz. At least they can't be blamed by some people on here like they usually are when things go wrong.
21 Nov 2025 10:30:43
Well great, now all our right backs are injured it means Dom has to play there again. : (.
{Ed025's Note - i have never seen such a fall from grace PB, after walking the league last year and purchasing some of the most sought after players in the world it now seems none of them are very good at all, the ones that are good are injury prone and the manager couldn,t run a raffle it seems?, its a good job you have the "best supporters in the world" or you could be in real trouble mate...unbelievable Jeff..
21 Nov 2025 10:44:23
Just you wait @25 - we win our next four league games and we shall resume our rightful place as the best team there’s ever been anywhere, ever!
{Ed025's Note - i hope you do WDW..it might stop all the moaning mate.. :)
21 Nov 2025 10:45:32
Are you being sarcastic, ed025? I'm not panicking about this team.
{Ed025's Note - not sarcasm PB..realism, it seems that according to a lot on here that Kirkez and Frimpong were bad buys, Isak is a croc, your main man is over the hill and Macca and Gakpo should be sold, Konate is gash, VVD is coming to the end marmalade is not good enough and Bradley cant do the job asked of him...plus the managers job is hanging by a thread mate!, im not making this up this is comments im reading on these pages my friend..
21 Nov 2025 10:53:40
Sounds like Wirtz is very minor and will only miss the one game.
Having no recognised RB available for the next 7 games though is a major blow. Gomez also missed training yesterday and has played 90 mins twice in the last 11 months so he is not very likely to be of much help. As a result it is unfortunately likely that Dom will end up playing RB quite a bit. He was excellent when he played there last time but hopefully Slot can find somebody else to fill in (Jones or Endo? ) because for me we need both Grav and Dom in the midfield.
On a positive note though I'm ecstatic to have Ali back. Hopefully he can add a little bit more calm to our back line.
21 Nov 2025 11:15:47
Sadly, it is not surprising that Conor Bradley broke down again. This has been the story of his career to date.
Sounds like Frimpong is out for a while yet too.
So, Arne has some choices to make.
Sign two defenders in January please, Dickie,
21 Nov 2025 11:16:41
Going to presume Ramsey is not even Slot's thinking for RB, was far from the poorest player vs Palace.
21 Nov 2025 11:10:01
Couldn’t agree more 25 mate, some of our fan base these days…. Embarrassing.
{Ed025's Note - spoiled i would say Drogie mate..
21 Nov 2025 11:16:49
Bradley can't do the job asked of him, Ed25 because the lads always injured mate lol.
{Ed025's Note - get rid of him then Salah, another one out the door mate.. :)
21 Nov 2025 11:28:44
Considering everything you said ed it has been a fall from grace. Excellent players, a seemingly excellent coach (by last years standards at least) but not the results or performances to match.
That makes it all the more confusing.
The players have obviously not all become terrible but something is clearly wrong.
{Ed025's Note - there has been a lot of changes Mic and some will obviously take time to settle, but dont throw the baby out with the bath water mate..
21 Nov 2025 11:33:34
I do think Ramsay deserves some time coming off the bench at least, he looked right at home against Palace and looks to have good delivery out wide and progressing the ball in the build up.
I feel like Dom is going to be an absolutely massive miss in midfield if he does end up playing full back, he is the most crucial player in our press from the front.
21 Nov 2025 11:51:46
It's clear that we need Szobo in midfield, so I would be rotating Gomez, Curtis and Ramsey in that position over the next month. Horses for courses.
We shall see what Arne chooses to do.
21 Nov 2025 12:37:19
This is the sort of moment where Klopp would put in a kid and give them a chance. He did it multiple times with the likes of Trent, Bajcetic, Phillips, N. Williams, R. Williams, Jones, Elliott, Kelleher, Quansah, Bradley etc.
We need Slot to show that same level of bravery. Ramsay has to play. Stop disrupting the whole team just to avoid trusting a youth player. The best young talent will soon stop coming to us if Slot / Hughes persist with selling them all off and putting midfielders out of position to cover injuries.
21 Nov 2025 13:36:47
Bradley just can't string any sort of run of together at all. plays 3/ 4 games then out for 3 weeks with muscle injury, rinse repeat. So disappointing as he great potential but his injury problems are serous concern at this stage.
I'd like to see Ramsey get a rattle at it, certainly in the home games.
21 Nov 2025 14:04:01
I think Slot will take a punt on Ramsey at some point in the next three weeks tbh. Can't see him rotating Gomez and Szob there for the duration.
21 Nov 2025 14:06:31
Although now that I think of it, is Ramsey registered to play in the PL?
21 Nov 2025 14:38:05
If he decides to go with szob over Gomez or Ramsey at rb well he me aswell leave now.
21 Nov 2025 16:48:28
Coming up against, supposedly the best MF in the league means we need our very best MF at full tilt.
21 Nov 2025 17:02:47
I think he will play Curtis right back.
21 Nov 2025 17:56:13
Gomez should play RB.
21 Nov 2025 18:35:04
I agree with MK, Slot needs to be more brave and give young ones some chance.
21 Nov 2025 19:47:46
Spoiled for calling awful awful? The manager seems clueless and his tactics can’t be defended. None of those players have turned bad over night.
{Ed025's Note - no spoiled for lack of support when your team is going through a rough patch FK, a rough patch where you beat Villa and Real Madrid i may add, being in 5th at this stage is not a crisis imo mate..
21 Nov 2025 20:47:31
@MK, of your list if you take TAA out how many on the list established themselves as regular starters for the club? Love the optimism but have concerns about the likely outcome.
21 Nov 2025 21:39:54
Ed025 you nailed it in your summary. but even a blue nose can see the ineptitude of this team n manager this year . we sailed the league last year n added 400 mill worth of top quality players.
so in reality we should be top of every comp we play in. But the reality is we are awful n that's being generous. 7th in the league n hardly played well in a quarter of those games . now that's the reality.
{Ed025's Note - im not saying its great Strom but its not easy trying to integrate new players and for them to just seamlessly fit into a project mate, but you stick by them through thick and thin (not that your lot know much about thin), it will come good i can assure you..
21 Nov 2025 23:19:37
There’s a joke there somewhere about knowing the ‘thick’ …….
22 Nov 2025 00:19:47
Hoping that it's curtis Jones at right back, we need Szobo in midfield he is that important, if Szobo is at right back I will be so disappointed, plus Slot will get even more bad press.
22 Nov 2025 00:27:42
That brings me to think about moving Bradley further up the pitch even taking over from Salah, doesn't he play there for his country,
We need to bring in a solid and bigger right back, that would give Kerkev the opportunity to bomb up and down the left side just like he did for Bournemouth, isn't that why we brought him in, not passing back to Big Virg most of the time.
We really need to beat Forest,
Give us more confidence and win a few more games.
22 Nov 2025 08:41:42
For me we shouldn’t play Gomez at right back today we need to keep cover for virg and konate as we are entering the busy period and need to be mindful of that . But Gomez should be starting to get minutes in his legs for when he is needed via a rest or suspension so me personally think the best options are either jones right back and go with dom in the 10 or dom right back mac in the 10 and jones sitting . Grav needs to be playing the box to box role as he’s brilliant at carrying the ball forward wastes sitting deeper .
We do have some very good youngsters aswell . Endo can fill in at centre half and defence also . We do need a centre half in jan and I would argue a right full back also .
Bradley is a good player but he seems to break down way to quick frimpong with his pace will always have hamstring issues . The lad from Brentford Kayode looks a real decent talent and on to he looks a physical specimen . Something we are lacking . Kerkez just needs time and better tactics to see best of his game . If Kerkez was under klopp same with frimpong having an out and out 6 in midfield to drop in we would be raving about the pair I’m sure . Attacking full backs playing conservative just enhances their weaknesses not their talent . I really like slot but he needs to address the dm role and play to squad strengths IMO.
{Ed001's Note - Kayode can play left-back as well and has a long throw - would be an excellent signing, should have signed him in the summer really.}
22 Nov 2025 09:00:45
You would swear no other team strengthened this summer. Yes we spent the most but we also recouped the most. We bought some top very expensive players but we also lost the likes of Trent, Diaz, Jota nd Nunez. players who knew the league. its not a given that just because we opened the chequebook after winning the league (in a season where no one gave our squad a hope of winning it i may add) that we should walk it this year it doesn't work like that.
We've hardly had a player who cost 125m of that on the pitch for starters. And calling a manager who delivered No.20 inept, i just don't know anymore.
22 Nov 2025 09:50:32
For many it’s not all about the league position, it’s about a style of play that you can have hope about and look forward to watching. that's been missing most of this season, and parts of last season despite the success.
In phases of the Real Madrid match we were very good, the intensity and quality got the crowd going, and the crowd also helped the players sustain it. We’re not going to get that every week, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect something approaching that in more of the home games at least.
For me that’s the biggest missing piece under Slot, he just hasn’t harnessed the energy of Anfield and pushed the intensity when we play at home in the way that he could have done. Our results have mainly been good, but it’s often very slow and conservative football.
22 Nov 2025 10:50:14
Just crazy to me. The bloke wins the title in his only season and he hasn't harnessed the energy of Anfield? Who knows what we'll do this season teams have won the league from further back than we are. More than two thirds of the season to go.
22 Nov 2025 11:11:31
I’m not saying we can’t do it and play with real intensity and get the crowd going, I’m just saying more often than not this season we don’t. That was often the case last season as well. We were slow and measured first half, conserved energy and then stepped it up second half in a lot of games.
It worked in the sense our injuries were reduced, got by without much rotation, and we won a lot more than we lost and it was obviously great to win a title. That was last season.
If we can get Isak and Wirtz ticking and tighten up a bit we’ll start winning more frequently, and then give it a real go after Christmas when players start coming back from injury. Also if we can do it with more intensity and style even better because that’s what we’re capable of.
22 Nov 2025 11:07:50
Ed025.I also think it will come good eventually. but at the moment its not acceptable, there doesn't seem to be anything good to shout about. the boring slow football getting served up is shocking . we fans do stay through the thick n thin as you say.
iv supported us when we was winning everything to when we had to wait for Klopp to arrive . can't call the fans for not accepting this football esp after what we've spent n with us being champions the year bfr. anyway end of my lil rant.
22 Nov 2025 11:49:01
Thats the spirit Hugo!
22 Nov 2025 16:55:25
3-0 loss at home to Forest. Not good enough is it Ed025. For me Slot has to go. 8 defeats from 11 is shocking.
{Ed025's Note - that was poor Tom and i was looking for a response after last week mate but it never happened...the manager has to go im afraid mate..
22 Nov 2025 17:54:03
Really Ed? i get the normal frustrated heads saying that but surprised u think so. why do you mind if i ask do you think that (apart from obviously the horrendous run of form) . Do you not thi k he's shown enough in his career to deserve a bit of time?
{Ed025's Note - i dont really think so you know FM, because i dont see it getting any better anytime soon mate..
22 Nov 2025 19:03:59
I get what you mean Ed i really do but when do the players stand up. Liverpool should not be losing 3-0 to forest at home.
{Ed025's Note - unfortunately you cant sack the players FM..
