Is Lovern all but gone Tris?
{Ed001's Note - all but gone? No, he might well leave but nothing has been done yet. No offer has been acceptable so far. Plenty of time yet though.}
1.) 29 Aug 2019 23:54:31
Looks like Roma have got Smalling instead.
Lol?
2.) 30 Aug 2019 00:39:51
With Roma seemingly looking like they are getting smalling I'm guessing they have ended their interest in lovren?
3.) 30 Aug 2019 06:30:26
Jeez, they must have been desparate, Smalling is an awful footballer.
4.) 30 Aug 2019 17:00:46
I'd suggest Lovren is staying after what Klopp said today i. e. we had four CBs last season and still had to have Fab do it due to injuries and that they will ALL be needed again this season.
5.) 30 Aug 2019 18:55:25
If we want to challenge for all the top honours you need 4 capable CBs over the course of maybe 50/ 60 games. Be a huge risk to let him go, just 1 injury immediately leaves us bare at the back. Lovren is far from perfect but as squad player for backup with his experience there aren't many CBs around with better quality as a 4th choice. 1 more year and then let him choose his next club if he can't hold down a regular spot for us.
This time last year matip was in his position but took his opportunity to claim 1st team spot. Competition is strong in CB and let the young lads have another year of development before we prematurely rely on having to use them.
6.) 30 Aug 2019 20:42:13
I really don't understand all of the negativity about Lovren. I know he's had a few bad games but he's a very good defender.
If we get an injury or two and he gets into the team, I'd put money on him doing a Matip and keeping his place (injuries permitting, of course) .
When he gets his chance, he knows what he needs to do to keep his place. He's seen it with his own eyes.
{Ed025's Note - hmmmm..
7.) 30 Aug 2019 21:35:49
One thing that has been clear is lovren looks much better beside VVD, as does matip and Gomez. Yet matip and lovren are poor together. The key is when they have a leader, someone to organise and talk beside them they look much better. Lovren and matip don't show those qualities.
Like Ferdinand and vidic were such a good pair as they complimented each other's strenghts.
Henchoz looked good with hyypia leading but put henchoz beside matip for example and they would struggle.
You need the right pairing to suit your players strengths. Lovren and matip have had a much better performance level over the last 18 months with virg than anytime previous.
8.) 31 Aug 2019 23:46:28
For once I’m with Ed25 on this. Lovren is not a very good defender. He’s a decent 4th choice but one that you hope you never have to use.
9.) 02 Sep 2019 00:34:12
{Ed025's Note - hmmmm.
======================
why hmmmm, what are you insinuating ed025 . He is a Liverpool player so must be very good . an earlier post put Matip as one of the best CBs in the world, Lovern is not far behind if not even better, world cup and champions league finalist . The red shirt automatically turns you into the best in the world, remember Djimi Traore, a champions league winner.
{Ed025's Note - you sound like redwolf roy, now i know your very tongue in cheek here but matip has done very well to be fair to him mate..
02 Oct 2018 13:57:03
How ya Ed hope your ok mate? Ed002 have you heard any rumbling's transfer wise about Liverpool in January?
{Ed002's Note - Nothing explicitly about January Barry, but I have explained elsewhere that the club has been showing some interest in players.}
1.) 02 Oct 2018 20:04:54
Ok thanks a million Ed👍.
12 Jul 2018 19:46:54
Hello all! I really do believe that we have a squad to be at least in the top 4 every season but for me what we really need is a cup win. Yes I know it's the league we want but a cup win would I believe would really get the ball rolling for us.
1.) 12 Jul 2018 20:05:34
Agree Barry, it's time for us to win a trophy.
2.) 12 Jul 2018 20:12:40
Make you right BIL about winning a cup will give us that winning mentality which we sorely miss.
3.) 12 Jul 2018 20:26:57
Totally agree, we've got to break that ice somewhere along the line.
4.) 12 Jul 2018 20:34:38
Good point but I really think we will win the league this year. After the strides we made last season I think we’ve recruited far better than any other team. I really think city are going to be caught out big time this year. I think there will be far less of a fear factor.
5.) 12 Jul 2018 20:41:42
This is the longest trophy drought I remember,7 seasons a season longer than the last. Any trophy will do me this season. In 13 years we've won 1 trophy for me that's not good enough. I hope we can juggle the squad enough to compete on 4 fronts. That means staying in the cups so that our young players can get a run in the team and be ready when called upon. Towards the end of last season we had Camacho Woodburn and Jones on the bench but I can understand Klopp's reluctance to use them especially after the Chelsea match when every game was a must not lose.
6.) 12 Jul 2018 20:58:45
When we win the league, the flood gates will open methinks.
7.) 12 Jul 2018 21:08:35
It’s fair to say we are hopeful of a win this year. Perhaps silverware is highly possible. But iwe our unrealistic pressures on ourselves by saying we will win this year. The players haven’t set foot on the pitch, transfers aren’t over the line, injuries could happen or hopefully not. I really do think the Premier League has evolved into such an interesting league! We now have a top 6 divide which rests on a knife edge, underdog teams like Leicester possible of winning the league with pure grit and now teams like Wolves who have the potential to re-establish themselves as a force in the league from a lower league. Sadly a lot of this is down to spending power in my opinion but who wins the league each year is not so foreseeable!
Whether we can get silverware or more depends on how we play game to game (obviously) so let’s keep on backing our team for a tasty season of attacking football and hope we’re rewarded at the end of it!
8.) 12 Jul 2018 21:24:11
We have a champions league finalist in our team.
9.) 12 Jul 2018 21:28:28
Plus a World Cup finalist as well. Good DL.
10.) 12 Jul 2018 22:06:54
Spot on aoe, me too mate.
11.) 13 Jul 2018 00:02:14
Agreed. Let's forget the league title and go after the league cup.
Seriously what difference does it make!
12.) 13 Jul 2018 02:20:35
Let's go after every game next season.
13.) 13 Jul 2018 09:40:51
I saw a post from MKS the other day relating to our "success" and nearly responded stating "how have we been successful? we've not won anything since Klopp's arrival! ". then I realized success is "the accomplishment of an aim or purpose".
We aimed to improve our squad - accomplished (and still improving! )
We aimed for top 4 - accomplished in back to back seasons
Now our aim has to be to get that silverware! - I'm aware we have tried and failed on 3 occasions in finals : (
Let make 2018/ 2019 the year for silverware!
14.) 13 Jul 2018 16:32:33
It's going to be a long season with lots of games. It is important to remember we won't win them all. So please do not rip the team / club to shreds when we do loose.
{Ed033's Note - What should Liverpool FC do if there are any loose shreds? :)
19 Mar 2018 12:09:02
What's the chances of Ndidi Ed001?
{Ed001's Note - very slim Leicester are not interested in selling him.}
1.) 19 Mar 2018 15:19:20
I like Ndidi and think he would be a good replacement for Emre. I would still like to see someone of Jorginho's ilk come in as well though. Someone to pull strings from deeper when needed. With Naby Keita arriving too I think those three would be an excellent mix and would allow us to take our time finding someone to replace Phil without getting desperate.
2.) 19 Mar 2018 18:04:33
I would take Ndidi tomorrow as he is very good and LFC fans will have a good chance to assess him as he will be on duty with Nigeria at the WC. Now will LC sell? That is another issue as Ed02 has said.
3.) 19 Mar 2018 21:32:15
I want both Ndidi and Jorginho to join Keita at the club. Yes, that means 3 new first choice mids in one window but Klopp knows very well that the above 3 can help the team dictate play and take our game to the next level.
I'd give the GKs and defenders another season and concentrate on strengthening the midfield for now.
4.) 20 Mar 2018 10:19:49
finding someone to replace phil? he's a good player i get it, but id say that his role has already been replaced by another role.
its not about replacing him anymore next window, its about taking the club to another level.
19 Nov 2017 11:54:47
Morning Ed's and Red's. Can anyone tell me the name of the young CB Ed025 was talking about on the Sharkpod please.
{Ed002's Note - Perr Shuurs.}
1.) 19 Nov 2017 15:54:53
Thanks Ed.
{Ed002's Note - You are welcome Barry.}

Can I just say a big best of luck to Stephen Kenny the new Ireland manager. He did a fantastic job with my local team Dundalk and hopefully he'll do the same with the national team (This is how bored I am but I do mean it)
1.) 05 Apr 2020 19:08:12
I feel a bit sorry for Mick, I think had there not being goings on at the FAI that resulted in a need to completely sweep out the old guard, they would've found a compromise to keep him in charge until the playoffs, and ultimately the Euros had we qualified, rather than saying "welp, Kenny has a cast iron contract from August, better put him in now. "
But at the end of the day Mick was only marginally less of a dinosaur than O'Neill, so I reckon this quadruples Ireland's chances of qualifying.
Hopefully the League of Ireland bashers will give Kenny a chance, but I suspect many are sharpening up their knives already.
17 Mar 2020 08:52:04
A very happy St. Patricks Day to all the Ed's and Red's where ever you are☘.
1.) 17 Mar 2020 10:29:42
Same to you Barry, it’s going to be a strange one. Stay safe mate.
2.) 17 Mar 2020 13:46:49
Happy St. Patricks Day Barry hope you have the buntings out.
3.) 17 Mar 2020 15:05:21
Hiya lad's I wish I'm on night's all week. Shower when I get to work, shower before I leave and then shower when I get home the wife said I was never as clean but need's must lad's. Hope all your families are safe and healthy YNWA.
10 Mar 2020 17:26:53
How is Joe Hardy thought of in the club?
1.) 10 Mar 2020 20:28:08
Hey Baz, Hardy wasn't in Brentford's first team squad. Very very little chance of him getting near our first team. We bought him because we had injuries to our your centre forwards.
2.) 10 Mar 2020 21:03:22
How did you get on at the weekend bazza?
05 Mar 2020 14:46:14
Just want to say lad's how very disappointed I'am of my fellow brethren that I mentioned on here a few time's that I'am attending the Bournemouth game and yet no one want's to meet me for a bevvie. I've had my shots and all charges against me have been dropped so I'am safe to be see with in public so no excuses😁.
1.) 05 Mar 2020 16:11:40
Even still Barry. You are just too handsy and you are so stubborn with your refusal to wear pants.
I won't be at the game but a great time :)
2.) 05 Mar 2020 16:53:32
What about the Corona thingamebob Barry nobody wants to shake hands or have a pint. Sure some stray dog will have a pint with you especially over in liverpool.
3.) 05 Mar 2020 17:52:26
Davey I've upped my game I'am now wearing"Dasiy Duke"cut off denim shorts👍.
4.) 05 Mar 2020 19:38:35
Barry have fun my friend if I'm over in liverpool will meet up but getting there during game time is a nightmare.
5.) 05 Mar 2020 19:48:59
Barry
Pick up my flight from Florida and the pints are on me.
Matt in FL.
6.) 05 Mar 2020 20:15:19
I'll swap ya Liverpool for Florida mate😁👍.
7.) 05 Mar 2020 20:40:11
I’ve just seen this mate, if it wasn’t for the early kick off I would have met you mate! My lad has football Sat morning and I’m about 40 mins drive from the ground so it’s a bit of a rush for the 12.30’s.
I will definitely meet you another time you get a ticket mate!
{Ed001's Note - just seen it or just thought up an excuse to avoid it?}
8.) 05 Mar 2020 20:57:44
Bring me a ticket I'll meet you, even buy the drinks!
9.) 05 Mar 2020 21:32:32
Fair play Drogie I appreciate that mate. See Tris you put positive vibes out and you get some back. Specialk you know them tickets are as rare as hobby horses💩.
{Ed001's Note - Drogie spent all day thinking up an excuse and when he did it was p poor let's be honest! I understand though, I only emigrated to get further away from you.....}
10.) 05 Mar 2020 22:08:41
Haha, rumbled again. That bloody ed001 😬.
{Ed001's Note - oops sorry mate, but I don't want Bazza getting ideas above his station and thinking he has friends. Last time he thought he had found a friend he set up a tent in their garden.}
11.) 05 Mar 2020 23:13:40
Drogie I know that your my friend, aren't you? Tris he really was my friend even though he never spoke to me or knew my name we had something special and only for that judge granting that restraining order we'd still be friends🤪.
12.) 06 Mar 2020 07:07:32
You are the special one Baz mate, as everyone wants to be my friend now I’m second in the posting ranks 🤪🤪.
03 Mar 2020 13:38:26
Well lad's hope your all keeping well after the Watford game? For me lad's it's really not something that I'm bothered about in all honesty. The only thing that I'm really bothered about is picking up that trophy after 30 year's. Now don't get me wrong I was pissed off after the game but it was coming in the few game's previous. So its how we respond is what's important right now. I'm not even talking about the game tonight but I'm talking about the Bournemouth game (Which I am going to and if anyone wants to meet up for a bevvie please let me know😁) we need a massive performance. We need the other teams to say"Watford was a major blip but Liverpool are back with a vengeance"So hopefully they will and I do believe that they will YNWA.
1.) 03 Mar 2020 15:21:35
Completely agree Barry, whilst the scoreline hurt the performance level was awful and a defeat has been coming. We've prob not played as poorly but other games a moment of cracking play has bailed us out. The most important game is def the next league game, but I'd like to see the team go out and play like they can against Chelsea. No records or unbeaten stigmas, just play and show everybody what you can do.
2.) 03 Mar 2020 18:01:55
The worrying thing is, if we have been performing as poorly as some say, whos to say it is easily turned around. I don't think we've been playing that bad. Yes Watford was poor and West ham wasn't brilliant. I think it's been a long season and our relentlessness is taking its toll. But we've done enough surely. And we have some wc players who will win us games even if we're not playing brilliantly.
3.) 03 Mar 2020 19:32:18
Robbie, you are spot on that the relentless approach we have had esp. in the PL may have taken its toll on the boys cos just think about it, winning 26 out of 27 games (one draw) is just mental madness. As a result it was clear that at some point, our boys would go thru mental fatigue and sometimes, the body will no longer follow what the head wants.
Now is it something that can be turned back on? Of course, it can. All the boys have to do is refocus their energy on the task at hand esp. free from all the "undefeated stuff", they can go again with new energy and a new type of motivation to finish the PL strong and give it a full go in the CL. Just my opinion.
14 Jan 2020 21:38:48
I have to agree with Ed025 only one team I care about and that's Liverpool. Sure When we are about to meet them then yes get the banter going but as soon as the game is over they are consigned to history. Its all about us lad's so enjoy it cause it's been to bloody long YNWA.
{Ed025's Note - i will have that barry mate..
15 Nov 2019 18:58:13
Tell Joe that we ALL love him ST.
16 Aug 2019 18:15:29
King of Skiffle mate.
27 Jun 2019 09:28:31
Forde Kippe that name strikes fear into many Liverpool fan's but not in a good way.
16 Jun 2019 13:24:23
Have to agree with Ed001 regarding Sir Bob Paisley. He wouldn't have lost a second of sleep moving a player like Salah on but there would have been a replacement lined up well in advance. I honestly don't have a issue with Salah moving on if he really want's to as Ed002 has always said players are transient they come and go and that's football lad's.
05 Apr 2020 16:19:18
Signed
Stay safe folk's
YNWA.
29 Mar 2020 12:02:57
Seriously Ed and lad's could you just imagine a John Barnes in his prime playing for Liverpool there would be no modern day defender that could live with him.
{Ed001's Note - he was strong as an ox as well, so defenders trying to tactically foul him would just bounce off him in the modern era or get themselves sent off trying to bring him down.}
26 Mar 2020 18:23:26
How is it still frustrating Ed?
{Ed001's Note - because we are so close yet so far from the title.}
17 Mar 2020 15:05:21
Hiya lad's I wish I'm on night's all week. Shower when I get to work, shower before I leave and then shower when I get home the wife said I was never as clean but need's must lad's. Hope all your families are safe and healthy YNWA.
