If memory serves Rafa and Pako fell out that's why he left.
1.) 26 Jan 2025 21:21:47
Rafa fall out with someone. I can’t see that Barry.
2.) 26 Jan 2025 21:38:23
Was never revealed exactly *why* they fell out, was it?
Apparently they are talking again though.
3.) 26 Jan 2025 22:04:44
Pako Ayesteran was Rafa’s best right-hand man but sadly they fell out. Both sides have different reasons for the split.
4.) 26 Jan 2025 22:19:15
Wasn’t there something about Pako talking to or leaking info to Chelsea?
17 Dec 2020 08:37:28
Good morning everyone. Really looking forward to Ed001 match review.
1.) 17 Dec 2020 20:23:29
I hope he talks about Moanrinho's living obviously in an alternative reality.
2.) 17 Dec 2020 21:34:12
I know England has a fair few bad pundits, but listening to ESPN's coverage and people like Craig Burley saying "Klopp is annoying me" and "I don't care if it annoys people, I like watching Tottenham more than Liverpool" are enough to drive me up the wall. They make the case that if Bergwijn finishes his chances its 3-1. what about all of the chances we had that went literally right at the goalie? Salah on his right foot scuffing it? Mane drilling the crossbar? 11 shots on target to 2; 17 shots to 8? 74% possession? 813 passes to 254? Sure, someone can make a comment about Klopp not making any subs, but who was he going to bring on? Ox and Keita who are literally not fit? These pundits live in Mourinho's world. I have watched Tottenham several times this year and get no joy from it. They set up to play exact as we expected and got punished for it when they took their best player off the pitch.
3.) 18 Dec 2020 00:26:04
Craig Burley and Richard Keys hate us. They are horrible individuals that get to stay on air knowing their words cause controversy.
4.) 18 Dec 2020 05:24:34
the talking heads can do my head in sometimes. well, actually, the writing fingers on here can do my head sometimes too hahahaha
each to their own tho. Some people laud the pragmatism of Mourinho's style. We were mature and lucky enough (we should admit) to ride the waves and eventually come out on top.
5.) 18 Dec 2020 14:41:07
I don't enjoy listening to football pundits. I find commentators to be really annoying. In my view they spoil the occasion. I would much prefer to watch a match with just the crowd noise. No commentator. No pundit. No idiotic and pointless statistics. We aren't we allowed to just watch the game?
6.) 18 Dec 2020 15:48:38
I just watched the game in full again and just don’t get it. Tottenham basically set up to defend and Liverpool completely dominated the game. We could have killed it off with decent finishing while they were basically limited to 3-4 key moments, while we dominated midfield and created at least a dozen good opportunities. I also think if Son had been subjected to the same scrutiny as Mane vs Everton, he would have been offsides. No question at all in my mind, the better team won.
Special mention to our midfield who were imperious, Bobby Firmino who was brilliant, Robbo who has been my player of the season so far, and Rhys who did an excellent job on Debut.
20 Sep 2020 20:45:03
Why was Henderson taken off?
{Ed0666's Note - injury
1.) 20 Sep 2020 20:59:00
Oh thanks Ed.
{Ed0666's Note - no worries mate hope you enjoyed the game.
2.) 20 Sep 2020 22:11:26
I think it was just precautionary (tight thigh they said on commentary) but also the perfect scenario to introduce Thiago’s skill set to the game.
3.) 20 Sep 2020 21:25:53
I was worried before the game I must admit but 10-15 minutes into the game I started to relax a bit. Now the sending off did of course help us no question there. I was really interested in watching Timo play and plenty of pace but would he suit our style of play? I definitely think we need more cover at CB even tho Fab was just fab.3pts in the bag Ed0666 and extremely happy mateðŸ‘ðŸ˜.
{Ed0666's Note - Yeh I said earlier I’m not sure Werner would have suited us and I stand by that. He’s phenomenal in a counter attacking side. Buying a CB is imperative mate as fab can’t be expected to pull out that type of center back display as an auxillary consistently if god forbid he had to. It was also telling that even tho Matip & Gomez didn’t play Billy the kid wasn’t picked so clearly Klopp doesn’t feel he’s ready to step up.
4.) 21 Sep 2020 07:57:14
I believe Billy was injured according to an injury update on the LFC website so Klopp may still consider him adequate cover.
{Ed001's Note - he was.}
5.) 21 Sep 2020 08:00:13
Was gomez injured? Seemed odd to not even have him in the bench if so.
{Ed001's Note - yes.}
6.) 21 Sep 2020 08:14:09
I thought fabinho was excellent at cb to the point that I’d like to see him there every week. He reads the game well makes great interceptions great tackles and good in the air. Add the fact that he can play a bit as well and I think you’ve got a perfect partner for VVD there. Held his own against a very good Werner on more than one occasion. Thiago with the exception of the challenge for the penalty looked exceptional, I’ll be honest I didn’t see the need for him as we have plenty of midfielders but in 45 minutes he proved with almost every touch of the ball that he’s a different class. Playing with a swagger of someone who has won everything and wants to win more. Liverpool at times looked in a training match just keeping possession and probing for Weakness for long stages. Chelsea miss pulisic and ziyech and will be a different prospect when they’re fit however Liverpool went to a team that want to be contenders and made them look average for 90 minutes. A very good squad developing now with cover across the pitch.
7.) 21 Sep 2020 04:15:21
So we’re all talking about a CB, but Eds, do we know of any actual solid interest in any? I’m hoping you won’t say Carlos.
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of anything different to what has been discussed I am afraid.}
8.) 21 Sep 2020 10:36:44
Fab has a mean streak in him, as a DM this is okay, but not as a CB. The risk would be too much.
{Ed025's Note - hes your second best centre back after VVD for me xpertoyin, reads the game very well and kept werner quiet yesterday which is not easy mate..
9.) 21 Sep 2020 10:49:20
I agree Ed025. Gomez is a very good young centre back but Fabinho is just better in every defensive department except recovery pace. He even holds the offside trap better.
{Ed025's Note - he has something better than speed HMB, he has speed of thought, reads the game very well which although hes young gomez fails on imo, just my opinion though mate..
10.) 21 Sep 2020 11:03:48
Was just going to say the same thing Ed. I thought he was exceptional and I think what I liked most was how well he read the game and his calmness with bring the ball out of dangerous situations. With regards to Thiago, I was also one that didn't see the need to go for him but wow, what a player. He strikes the ball so well and effortlessly finds a red shirt. I'm very excited to see more of him in midfield.
11.) 21 Sep 2020 13:25:55
As they say Ed025, the first 5 yards are in your head.
{Ed025's Note - dead right mate..
12.) 21 Sep 2020 13:39:02
I hope we don't sign a Cb think Gomez and VVD are a great pair big games like yesterday Fab can cover with the lower end clubs the young lads can cover if Matip and Gomez are both out. If I could sign one more player I would rather we get better cover for Alisson as Adrian proved last year in the fa cup and champions league he is not good enough.
13.) 21 Sep 2020 07:47:56
Think klopp said billy had a knock too.
{Ed0666's Note - thanks mate
14.) 21 Sep 2020 16:31:38
Can I ask who is Billy the kid? Haha.
15.) 21 Sep 2020 21:42:05
Gomez is far better than Fabinho at centre back.
I'm ok with Fabinho providing cover but no way would I agree with Fabinho actually being better than Gomez as a center back.
Excellent yesterday but if he playing there regularly I think he'd be caught out (lack of pace and strong but a bit clumsy so I think he would give away a fair few penalties) .
16.) 21 Sep 2020 23:14:18
Fabinho played superbly vs chelski. id be happy to see him there, maybe Tiago and Hendo infront of him. Would allow Keita to play slightly further forward. Or maybe play Bobby in a "10" role, move Mane inside, play Jota left channel and keep Salah down the right channel. Either way, and more, we've signed some great players in great deals, giving us a chance of retaining the title. Come on REDMEN. YNWA.
29 Jul 2020 11:57:38
Why did Liverpool not sign Harvetz? Was it lack of money? Or were they even interested in him?
{Ed002's Note - No money and not a player Liverpool looked to tap up.}
1.) 29 Jul 2020 13:40:13
Nice little jab there Ed, you’re quite partial to those. I’m pretty happy with the championship winning midfielders we have right now, so I guess we’ll have to look at tapping up a center back that Klopp so desperately wants?
{Ed002's Note - The statement is correct.}
2.) 29 Jul 2020 16:56:27
Everyone Liverpool look at were tapping them up. I now we’ve done it in the past but surely it’s not every transfer we’re looking into Ed . that would be worrying.
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool did not speak with RBL about Werner. Liverpool have not spoken with Bayern Munich about Thiago.}
3.) 30 Jul 2020 07:03:30
It seems apparently every player Liverpool are genuinely interested in signing is being tapped up by the club according to some people.
4.) 31 Jul 2020 10:55:53
For me I’d like to see williams play more at rb and taa in cm I’d like to see jones get more playing time too. I feel like gomez and VVD have a great partnership and would like to see sepp or hoever more involved in first team games. The biggest concern for me as a fan is our chance conversion rate. Also the lack of options outside the front 3 . Our first team is excellent I hope to see Naby play more and get more goals next season. Pressure of 30 years no league is gone I hope they can push on and play with some more freedom. LB and cf the positions I’d like cover for maybe try playing Minamino a bit more too.
05 Jul 2020 14:45:29
Victor Osimhen is/ could there be money for him if JK listens to this scout?
{Ed002's Note - No Barry.}
1.) 05 Jul 2020 14:59:30
I don’t see the fuss with Osimhen, he needs about 6 or 7 shots to get a goal and more often than not his efforts end up in the keepers hands or in the stands. Can’t see what he offers that we don’t already have in Origi in terms of being a big quick target man. Other than filling Lille’s coffers to the tune of £70m and us not getting a £70m player, surely we should learn from Arsenal getting mugged off over Nicolas Pepe?
2.) 05 Jul 2020 21:52:06
Sorry for the badly worded question Ed002 but at least you understud it mate and thanks for the reply.
{Ed002's Note - No problem Barry.}

Ed001 if you have off from all your partying and jetting off all over the world. What about doing a comparison between JK and Slot?
{Ed001's Note - partying? I wish. I will add it to the shortlist. It is done to below 5k now so I needed some new topics to add, thanks Bazza.}
1.) 07 Feb 2025 14:53:07
Welcome mate?.
05 Feb 2025 22:58:07
Macca we need a rumour please mate?.
1.) 06 Feb 2025 07:14:07
Why? The window has shut.
2.) 06 Feb 2025 08:26:32
Here’s one for you Barry. The club will definitely not be signing anybody until after the season is over?.
3.) 06 Feb 2025 08:48:15
Two rumours I’ve heard
1st Harry is considering another name change
2nd Shappy next article is almost finished titled “How getting gubbed at home by Palace is a good thing for Man Utd “.
4.) 06 Feb 2025 09:24:16
There’s a rumour that the Southampton match report might make a reappearance.
5.) 06 Feb 2025 09:39:59
Just waiting for the club to announce a new contract for someone who isn't the 3 with 4 months left.
6.) 06 Feb 2025 10:11:53
To be fair it would be pretty funny if the club anno7nced a new contract for someone else rather than the three.
7.) 06 Feb 2025 11:17:57
WDW, that just happened a couple of days ago. Jayden Danns signed new improved terms before going out on loan. I liked the idea but it wasn't pretty funny to me at the time, honestly speaking. ?.
8.) 06 Feb 2025 17:02:05
Luke Littler has been spotted in Belfast before the start of the PL darts in an Italian national team goalkeeper shirt buying a kebab.
It could be a Donnarumma.
03 Feb 2025 15:17:50
Ed001 you said a while back that Rushie didn't want to go to Juve but the club needed the money. Could you elaborate on this please mate?.
{Ed001's Note - wanted the money mate, not needed.}
1.) 03 Feb 2025 16:48:34
Did Rushie want to go Ed? Was the money for players?
{Ed001's Note - Rushie wanted to stay but was not really given much choice. It was different times and players had little real say then. Off the top of my head, I can't remember what the money was used for. I know Aldo came in to replace Rush for less, but the rest is hazy now.}
2.) 03 Feb 2025 17:24:25
The start of Moores's greed?
{Ed001's Note - I can't remember whether it was Moores then or not.}
3.) 03 Feb 2025 17:31:02
Ok thank you ?.
4.) 03 Feb 2025 17:39:25
We signed Aldridge, Barnes and Beardsley in the summer that we sold Ian Rush. They were all superb for us. Beardsley was the most expensive and I don't think we'd have made much of a profit, if any, but it was three top players for one.
The rumour at the time was that we signed Aldridge because he looked similar to Rush and we were going to send them Aldo instead of Rush.
It was a joke, obviously.
5.) 03 Feb 2025 17:50:17
Was a British record transfer fee at the time, I believe. Somewhere around the £3m mark. The whole deal was a bit strange I think. I believe he signed in the summer of 1986 but didn't transfer until the following summer in 1987. And then he came back after one year. All of which was very close to the Heysel tragedy and the subsequent ban of English clubs from Europe. I've heard it said that one reason Rush was sold was to cover the loss of revenue from not playing in Europe. Not sure if that is accurate or not (and the sums involved obviously wouldn't be anything like today) .
In the mean time Liverpool had signed Beardsley, Barnes and Aldridge (and possibly Ray Houghton) for not much more than they received for Rush (Barnes for £900,000 seems so cheap even for the 80s) and were arguably even better without him.
6.) 03 Feb 2025 17:53:43
I was wrong about John Aldridge. He signed a few months and the season before Barnes and Beardsley.
A quick check showed me that we sold Rush before the start of the 86-87 season and he was loaned back to us.
It was for big money and it makes sense that that was why he went especially when we had the European ban at the time. We also spent big on the three players and I reckon they would have cost more than we got for Rush.
When we bought Rush back, not long after he was sold, I think we sold Aldo to Sociedad (? ) and that was also against his wishes.
{Ed001's Note - yeah we sold him to Toshack and he became the first non-Basque to ever play for Sociedad.}
7.) 03 Feb 2025 18:02:48
Beardsley and Barnes. Two of my two all time favorites!
8.) 03 Feb 2025 18:12:13
The sale of Rush helped bring about arguably our greatest ever side. When Rush came back I never thought he was the same player.
9.) 03 Feb 2025 18:36:50
That was a fantastic side, Rome.
We signed Aldridge before Rush went and then signed Barnes, Beardsley and Houghton. The team got results and played fabulous football.
Didn't we have every contender for goal of the season one year?
It was a great side and it's a shame that we never got to take on the great Milan side of that time.
10.) 03 Feb 2025 19:43:26
I was going to mention Houghton - played his part in one of our best sides I’m my lifetime.
11.) 03 Feb 2025 20:15:20
If I remember correctly it was 1.9 million for Beardsley. I loved that player and then we got Barney’s as well. I grew up watching that team, was an absolute joy. Anyone remember the Forrest at Anfield game? Was total football by us and I think if I remember right we won 5-0.
12.) 03 Feb 2025 22:48:27
Yeah, it was £1.9m for Beardsley and £900,000 for Barnes, I think.
I can't remember the Aldridge fee but we made a good profit on him.
13.) 04 Feb 2025 09:38:56
I heard that the Heysel tragedy played a part in that transfer being agreed between the clubs.
03 Feb 2025 14:24:54
Lad's I'm dreading the Everton game. Look I know that Ed025 is say we are favourites but he said that last season and look what happened. So Ed025 please keep you opinions to yourself?.
1.) 03 Feb 2025 14:32:40
It's one of them games Barry that even if Everton had lost every game of the season so far it could be one of them results to upset our title challenge.
Same as playing utd and apparently forest nowadays. Everton will be well up for it, hopefully we can have enough on the day to get the three points.
Good points are, we do have the much better team, so much better we should be beating them and I don't see many teams beating us at the minute, the squad seem so focused on what they want so going on that, bring Everton on! But yeah I agree mate, it's a worrying fixture.
2.) 03 Feb 2025 14:49:02
Everyone was dreading the Bournemouth game, look how that turned out.
3.) 03 Feb 2025 14:52:04
Exactly, Salah. Everton are going to give us their best shot whether Dychce, Moyes or Pep was the manager. I really makes no difference. Like v B'mouth, our guys knew what they were going to get from them and boy, did we get B'mouth's best shot. I am not worried of what I expect and really, what I know is going to happen.
If we want to win this title then, we have to be prepared as fans, players, coaches etc. to fight for it in every game we play. That is the reality. Nobody is going to give us anything. We are going to have to earn every goal and every point to win it. That's the way I see it so if our players are as focused as they were vs B'mouth and have been lately, let's go do it.
4.) 03 Feb 2025 14:57:35
I had the misfortune of being at the game last season, and it was the most inept passionless performance of many a season. We were on a downward spiral at the time and they put the final nail in our coffin of any chance of winning PL. I'm with Barry, I'm dreading it. I keep looking at our coming fixtures and Arsenal's and theirs look far more favourable. If we have a 5 point lead come the end of this month I'll be delirious.
5.) 03 Feb 2025 15:09:36
It's Evertons cup final. I hope we smash em.
6.) 03 Feb 2025 15:10:07
*I meant to say 9 point lead.
7.) 03 Feb 2025 15:15:51
Very true EN especially me.
8.) 03 Feb 2025 16:35:54
We got a bit lucky in all fairness EN they missed an open goal and Mac should have been sent off. Everton have picked up and it will be a very though game. They bullied us last year, but we are definitely stronger than we were last season. Close game I imagine.
9.) 03 Feb 2025 16:56:38
We are favourites for the Everton game; there's no doubt about it.
A draw wouldn't be a disaster, for me, but we shouldn't take that into the next game.
We've had a few intense games recently and handled them well- Forest with two rs, Brentford and Bournemouth. You can even add the Spurs cup game where we lost but it was a game we could have won.
Play our game and not the occasion. We're top of the League and we should expect teams to get stuck into us, defend deep, hostile atmospheres etc.
Arsenal have a few London teams to play, too.
10.) 03 Feb 2025 17:25:33
David Moyes record vs Liverpool :
P 42, W 6, D 10, L 26, GF 35, GA 72 (Transfermarkt)
If we play as well as we know we can and execute the game plan we will win.
There is always the ‘X’ factor in Derby matches although the move from game to business has eroded some of the passion in the game and, sadly, the fans mutual respect for each other. It’ll still mean something to Scousers but it’s moving towards being ‘just another game’ particularly in terms of what happens on the pitch.
11.) 03 Feb 2025 17:58:10
Moyes has a record as Everton boss during merseyside league derbies 2002-12 of 3 wins and 7 losses.
We have to play them twice this season, next Wednesday half seven kick off at Goodison Park (TNT) for the last time ever, so EFC will not want that on the records, would be sweet if our last ever goodison league visit was a resounding win.
The return derby fixture at Arne-field is Wednesday 20:00 hrs Kick Off, 02 April 2025, the last time we had an april fixture at goodison we lost 2-0 that was Jurgens last derby match.
David Moyes has never won at Anfield with any premier league club/ club and long may that continue.
12.) 03 Feb 2025 18:05:08
It's a derby and anything can happen. Hopefully Everton go into game with some confidence and try to play because then I think it will be easier for us than if they sit there in a deep block.
01 Feb 2025 22:13:12
Lad's how come that sometimes the only voice of reson on here is a Everton supporting Ed?.
1.) 01 Feb 2025 22:37:01
No longer having to watch Sean Dyche football can clear your mind.
{Ed025's Note - amen to that Bob..
2.) 01 Feb 2025 22:50:17
Old and wise!
{Ed025's Note - more old than wise i would suggest Longthing..
3.) 02 Feb 2025 06:05:07
Ed025- You must be quietly confident that you can disrupt our title charge in a couple of weeks? Im dreading going there tbf.
{Ed025's Note - we have got a bit of the old " new manager bounce" Vango but to be honest you should have too much for us mate, we wont make it easy for you though and your players might need reinforced shin pads i expect.. :)
4.) 02 Feb 2025 08:25:54
Ed025, Will you be going to the game willing the Blues on to kick us about?
{Ed025's Note - no Johnny i dont go to derby,s anymore mate, the atmosphere is all a bit too toxic for me these days...i will be watching it in the pub...willing us to kick you about.. :)
5.) 02 Feb 2025 08:25:58
Shin pads don't go the knees ed25 unfortunately.
{Ed025's Note - since the return of the Moysiah Digger we are now a footballing side mate, unless we are getting beat of course then we may well resort to the old fashioned way of negating our opponents...by kicking lumps out of them.. :)
6.) 02 Feb 2025 10:43:21
Knee pads and shin pads, then?
7.) 02 Feb 2025 12:49:05
So Ed25, Everton now a legit team or is it the messiah Moyes new manager bounce?
{Ed025's Note - maybe a bit of both Mfahmee, the crunch time is when we face Bournemouth at the weekend and the reds next week mate..
07 Feb 2025 14:15:48
As they say in The Life of Brian"Blessed are the big noses"
22 Jan 2025 15:56:30
Mcgoveb you really can't pass a really old stool?.
16 Jan 2025 08:29:27
100% agree with Brummyred lad's. Yes AFC TV is very funny?.
14 Jan 2025 14:37:00
Wasn't he promised a bumper new contract and that never happened? Also there were other promises made to him which were never kept but I can't remember what exactly but I could be wrong. Did'nt the club have to give him an ultimatum because he was dragging it out for so long? Then he spouted some crap about being loyal to his boyhood club?.
14 Jan 2025 10:20:44
Macca always posts on the Rumours page.
07 Feb 2025 14:53:07
Welcome mate?.
07 Feb 2025 09:57:46
Richarlison a dirty, diving, snide, cheating prick?. Well I am shocked.
07 Feb 2025 06:44:52
There was a team playing on tv and I was only 5 so I asked my brother who are they and he said they're Liverpool. So I asked are they any good and he said they're the best team in the world and that was that.
05 Feb 2025 10:55:11
Szoboszlai he's been brilliant and was really missed against Utd.
03 Feb 2025 22:26:41
I believe that the issue was playing time or lack thereof on Liverpool's side.
