Man I hate the media in this country.
VVD says he doesn’t know what will happen after Klopp as it depends what the club does and which direction they want to go and they report it as he wants to leave!
To the point where Klopp has to tell people to calm down and VVD has to confirm he’s committed to the club.
I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that the media twist people’s words to form false headlines or the fact that people actually believe them.
{Ed002's Note - I am not sure what you are referring to but his agent has said there have been a couple of general enquiries this week.}
1.) 31 Jan 2024 10:35:33
Only natural some clubs may want to capitalise on the uncertainty - we have done it on the past. Big difference receiving enquiries and courting them. The other side of this may be that the new manager no wants Virgil and they may seek to move him on (although I would hope that was unlikely) .
2.) 31 Jan 2024 13:02:14
Bloke knows he's going to be negotiating a new contract soon. Was never going to say"being here is a dream come true and i want to stay here forever and ever and ever"now was he? a nothing story.
3.) 31 Jan 2024 13:37:28
Agree with Jude Nkunku. He really doesn't have any idea what's going to happen. It's a long time until his contract is up. Anything can happen.
No issue with the comments.
4.) 31 Jan 2024 15:18:14
Wouldnt worry about clubs approaching the agent- Id be shocked if there wasnt. Even coming up to 33, he would be an immense addition to any side still. All about how he feels and he seems committed.
5.) 31 Jan 2024 17:42:34
I personally think at least one big name leaves in the summer. This doesn't include the players that will not have their contract renewed.
6.) 31 Jan 2024 18:46:36
If the Edwards approach is true. That says to me we’re panicking a little about life after Klopp.
It’s only natural our best players will be wary of all this and want reassurances we plan to stay successful.
7.) 31 Jan 2024 18:52:07
Too many people worrying about the future ! Embrace the rest of the season, klopp has earned our support not our questions.
8.) 31 Jan 2024 21:53:27
lol, does anyone believe that we don't plan to be successful? lol what kind of statement is that?
We're worrying a bit too much about things we can't control and then making factual statements about things that we don't really know about lol.
9.) 01 Feb 2024 09:35:27
Ally McCoist summed it up perfectly last night when his co-commentator tried to make a big deal out of VVDs comments. He hit back immediately saying that Virg is just saying that a new manager will have his own players and he doesn't know what the new manager and the club will want to do. At no point had he said that he wanted to leave and it was just the media twisting his words.
Obviously I'm paraphrasing but it was nice to hear an 'expert' finally talking some sense rather than trying to make drama.

Arsenal 2-0 up from guess what? 2 set pieces. Stoke on steroids.
When are the refs going to get a grip on their fouling at set pieces though. That second goal Saliba literally had both hands on Hojlunds back pushing him under the ball.
Anywhere else on the pitch if you touch anyone with your hands it’s a foul. Why not there?
1.) 04 Dec 2024 22:02:03
Higher bar in the penalty area
So he would have to body slam him to the floor to get penalised there.
2.) 04 Dec 2024 22:08:08
Take it to the arsenal page.
3.) 04 Dec 2024 22:08:39
About the same time that the refs are consistent in the decision making BP.
4.) 04 Dec 2024 22:08:47
Did liverpool play tonight?
5.) 04 Dec 2024 22:10:54
Not for me. He Just bullied him about a bit. They are Stoke though, boring but effective.
6.) 04 Dec 2024 22:13:12
He nearly did! He had hold of his shirt with both hands and nearly pulled it off his back! Then to add insult to injury the ball then went in off his backside!
It’s a foul I really don’t understand how that’s not given.
7.) 04 Dec 2024 22:29:11
This is the Liverpool page
lol
but anyways, Arsenal are very good at set piece time. haven't watched their goals today but in general thing they walk the fine line well.
8.) 04 Dec 2024 22:54:10
Good to see their set-piece coach still getting some great camera time, as well @Faith.
9.) 05 Dec 2024 05:48:24
Do people honestly really care that much about Arsenal?
10.) 05 Dec 2024 06:08:39
To be fair I don’t like what arsenal do on set pieces either sandwiching the keeper with the player in front backing into him aggressively getting him off balance and both players making it so that he can’t make a move to get the ball, I’m not sure how that’s legal but if they’re going to make the most of that advantage until the league decide whether to do something about it then fair play I guess, doesn’t mean that we have to like it or call it smart football.
11.) 05 Dec 2024 10:07:24
Patrik, Arsenal can do whatever they want if the ref is allowing it. What I can't stand is their many of their whiny little fans crying and whinging when the very exact same things are done to them by other teams and claiming the refs are out to get them. That's all Im saying.
12.) 05 Dec 2024 10:35:21
What happened to forget other teams preaching malarky.
30 Nov 2024 23:56:08
I can’t wait for tomorrow I feel like a kid at Christmas.
This is what it’s all about, playing the current champions at home with a chance to go 11 clear if we win but if we lose it brings us back towards the pack.
True jeopardy. Elation for the winners dejection for the losers. This one will really get the juices flowing.
Come on Liverpool! YNWA!
1.) 01 Dec 2024 06:26:23
I'm with you BP.
Excited for this one. let's go boys.
I just want to add though, let's forget about the 11 point possibility. to me it's irrelevant, because Arsenal are now 6 points behind us
We win, then it's 9.
For me, we need to worry about who is directly below us.
The facts are simple. keep winning and we keep everyone at bay - we will drop points - everyone will - the pack will chase us, but as long as we keep focused on what we're doing, we'll be OK
It's exciting times- let's enjoy the ride.
1 game at a time peeps
Let's go!
2.) 01 Dec 2024 08:03:27
Yeah spot on BP we exactly where we want to be playing big game after big game and we should enjoy it.
Although if we 1-0 up going into 7r8 mins of injury time I don't think I will be enjoying it!
I think today's game might pan out bit different than most people expect, I think pep will go much more defensive than he ever does and will try and make it v difficult for us. If u remember few years ago klopp was constantly getting better off him and he came to anfield and he his 2 full backs never crossed the half way line, game finished 0-0 from memory.
Think today will tight but still think our extra energy in midfield will swing it for us.
3.) 01 Dec 2024 08:44:29
Really looking forward to this one.
Hoping for another electric Anfield atmosphere and the players to be as up for it as they were against Real the other night.
With 2 enforced changes to the starting 11 it will be interesting if Slot makes anymore.
Despite City currently being under their worst run under Pep they’ll still be a tough game today but with home advantage I can still see us winning this one.
4.) 01 Dec 2024 10:50:21
Great read.
Konate will be a big miss as he’s been a monster at the back so far this season. Sure Gomez or Quansah will step up. Left back is becoming an issue as Robertsons looking well past his best now.
What I’m loving about this midfield is we can swap in and out. jones has stepped up, Gravenberch has been outstanding and MacAllister is pure class. I do believe Szobozlia needs to step up a little and would still be open to Zubimendi coming in to strengthen as the season goes on. But I think our midfield is so underrated by rival fans much like it was with Henderson, Gini, Fabinho, Milner.
Gapko always looks better off the bench than when he starts and Nunez work rate is phenomenal and could cause City some issues today. Hopefully Diaz is on form and terrorises Walker.
28 Nov 2024 01:03:42
That was so good I’ve watched it again!
Absolutely brilliant to a man from start to finish.
Anyone who can’t now see what Darwin Nunez brings to this team is simply clueless. He was everywhere and their defence had kittens every time he was anywhere near the ball. He must be exhausting to play against he never gave them a seconds peace.
What a performance, so happy to be a red right now.
1.) 28 Nov 2024 03:42:13
I’m not his biggest fan but his performance last night was very reminiscent of his performance against us which had everybody raving about him. I thought he was unlucky not to get a goal (or two) last night’s get.
2.) 28 Nov 2024 04:11:55
Got to second that on Nunez. Bradley and Kelleher will rightly get the plaudits but Darwin was excellent.
3.) 28 Nov 2024 05:36:46
Not contract related, but how Bradley surely can’t carry on being a back-up for the next 3+ years.
4.) 28 Nov 2024 06:23:11
He is a bit like Firmino. He may not have scored plenty, but he is a menace. I really like his workrate.
5.) 28 Nov 2024 06:46:17
TTA watching that performance from Conor Bradley from the bench has probably helped him decide leave for RM.
6.) 28 Nov 2024 06:52:21
I thought Nunez had a very good game last night but I’d still like to see him bring more goals to the team, but that must make me one of the clueless ones.
An unnecessary yellow card for going down in the box like he was shot by an elephant gun the 2nd game in the bounce but he looked far more confident with the ball and was nice to see him running at defenders.
On another day against another keeper he could have got a hat trick.
Probably our most exciting game of football to watch this season that. Bring on City.
7.) 28 Nov 2024 08:58:41
I'm a clueless one then, Beckers! He had a good game last night, but I'm still not convinced in the long term.
Still buzzing from last night, voice hoarse and I've just got to go into meeting.
8.) 28 Nov 2024 10:32:45
Thought Darwin was good last night but thought he should have been quicker to get into the 6 yard box when a few balls were put in. Overall tho a very good performance.
I think he can be the key to beating city. Their defence is all at sea and he can cause chaos in there.
9.) 28 Nov 2024 10:36:24
So JK and Rome are you telling me that you can’t see what he brings to the team? If you are then yes you are absolutely the clueless ones!
He keeps taking more stick than anyone and yet he keeps going out there and working harder than anyone. His athleticism is off the charts!
Now I agree that his finishing can be wayward at times but is it not worth backing him for all of the other attributes he has? His finishing in Portugal was sublime so it’s in there we just have to bring it out.
I think he’s an awesome player I really do.
10.) 28 Nov 2024 11:04:24
Beckers, when his finishing stops being "wayward" he will have my 100% support. Until such time I'm not convinced. I'm not the only supporter who shares that view, though I don't need backing to air my view.
11.) 28 Nov 2024 11:16:29
Come on Beckers you can't call anyone clueless with some of the statements you come out with.
Its fine that others have a difference of opinion to you but it might come as a shock to you, that you're not always right and others are wrong.
I can't ever remember saying i can't see what he brings to the team and he gets 100% of my support every time.
Good to know that he works harder than everyone else though. That i was unaware of.
12.) 28 Nov 2024 11:18:47
To be fair @BP, he’s a centre forward who’s scored 3 goals in 16 appearances this season. It’s fair to say he’s not a good bet for the season’s golden boot award is he?
13.) 28 Nov 2024 11:30:36
To correct myself, he gets my 100% support, as does every player, but I'm not convinced. I'm simply clueless.
14.) 28 Nov 2024 14:47:12
One of them for me, his work rate is fantastic and personally yes I do find him a great player but at the same time I can completely understand people's frustrations. Should he be scoring more? Of course he should and we all know this but what I love about him more than anything is his passion, he tries his hardest all of the time. Will he turn into a goal scoring machine? I don't know anymore, we've been hoping to see it for a very long time now and we're still waiting.
People (myself included) would be a lot more pis*Ed off about him if we weren't getting the goals Salah is currently scoring every game. We're very lucky to have a consistent goal scorer.
Both sides make good points, no point in being silly about it BP mate everybody has their opinions, it doesn't mean anybody is clueless.
15.) 28 Nov 2024 21:31:19
As I say, not the greatest of his fans, but the lad deserves to keep his starting spot against City. Without Rodri to shield them, he could have a field day running their defence ragged.
16.) 28 Nov 2024 22:37:22
One of the things i really like about Nunez is he is clearly seeking to improve. his link up play and movement has improved tremendously. Watch how he draws the defender out of the way for Maccas goal. He is not perfect but any player who keeps working hard to get better is worth persevering with if possible.
04 Nov 2024 00:37:40
I’ve been away this week so didn’t see the game until tonight and I have to say reading the match reports and the fallout on here I thought Brighton had battered us and we’d scraped a win.
Then I watched it and it was nothing of the sort.
We were sloppy in the first half but they had 3 decent chances mainly from us just gifting them the ball in dangerous areas. They’re a good team with good players so they will take advantage of you offer them the impetus but we could also have scored a couple ourselves in the first half.
There were too many gaps in midfield in the first half, largely because we weren’t being aggressive enough and weren’t very cohesive in the press so they passed through us too easily.
The second half though, we could’ve had 4 goals in the first 10 minutes! Yes they always carried a threat but they have good players they will always do that.
I definitely wasn’t as bad as some have made out and our response in the second half just showed the ability and desire we have in this team.
1.) 04 Nov 2024 02:09:29
The overreaction is incredible. Yes we were poor first half and Brighton outplayed us but a fair halftime score would have been 2-1. Nunez was unlucky not to score and Kelleher made a good save from Mitoma. Second half we completed dominanted for 30 minutes and could have scored 3-4. We deserved to win the game in the end.
2.) 04 Nov 2024 03:32:28
Agree we were bad - was a proper battle of a game in the first half. I thought we were off the pace slightly and towards last season would have lost that game. Turned it round and won so got to take the 3 points and move on. Do have a worry that we aren’t controlling games very well and haven’t won many by wide margins, could run out of steam like last season.
3.) 04 Nov 2024 05:02:35
Two moments of sheer individual brilliance won us that game. Brighton were an excellent. Cut us through at will. They don’t have better players, they have a brilliant style of play.
4.) 04 Nov 2024 06:55:16
Hi @Brummyred, or we could heat into steam towards the business end and not fade out like we did last season? The shocking thing about the moaning and towel throw in on Slot is the illogical view that judges his style of play on a set of players he inherited. He has not even brought any player of his choice in yet.
His post match presser was a joy to watch where he stated clearly that the players that starter deserved to be benched for that half. We are top of the table despite not at our best in the new style, imagine when we get a hang of it. For me, I couldn't ask for more after the heart we showed in the second half. We will get better and I hope that will kick in when it matters the most. Been a difficult heal from the fade out of last season and I hope never to experience tht again. O I am a fan of the new system.
5.) 04 Nov 2024 07:49:25
Well technically he signed one. Chiesa. Or did he not?
6.) 04 Nov 2024 07:51:38
Interesting to hear Slot point out the attitudes of the players in the first half over tactics.
7.) 04 Nov 2024 11:47:22
I agree with the OP 100%. When I watched the game after reading the reports and listening to the pundits I expected it to have been completely one sided but although playing poorly in the first half it appeared fairly even in terms of chances - their goal was not a great chance, just an awesome finish. The only good chance they made was the 1-on-1 stop by Kelleher. In the second half our players stepped it up, the crowd responded and there was only ever going to be 1 winner.
It's great to see how solid our shape is this season. Even when playing poorly teams struggle to really create anything against us. It's such a welcome relief from the continuous heart-in-mouth moments of the last couple of seasons.

9.) 04 Nov 2024 21:28:28
It’s strange how every time a team gets anywhere near our goal it’s considered a great chance yet I’d argue that Nunez’s chance was a better chance than the goal they scored and Konate’s free header from a corner which he headed straight into the back of the defender was every bit as good as their one on one.
They had the other one with the volley at the back post but that would’ve been a brilliant goal had it gone in it was barely half a chance.
We allowed them impetus in the game by being sloppy in possession and they put us under some pressure but they were hardly banging on the door.
In the second half we smashed the door down and should’ve had a few more goals. It was a deserved win where we weren’t dominant for the whole 90 minutes. Nothing wrong with that at all.
10.) 04 Nov 2024 22:30:16
Brighton had us chasing shadows for first half on Saturday take you red specs off and be honest beckers .
22 Oct 2024 09:10:44
I said after the Arsenal - City game the PGMOL needs to get a handle on this blocking and grabbing at set pieces because all teams will do is have 9 blockers and 1 attacker like Arsenal do. Just clear the way for your best header of the ball.
If you are purposely moving towards another player in an attempt to stop them getting to the ball and are not going for the ball yourself it’s a foul. Always has been, always will be.
1.) 22 Oct 2024 10:52:07
I still can't get my head around the 2 shoulder to shoulder challenges the ref gave against us on Sunday (1 was Darwin can't remember the other)
2.) 22 Oct 2024 13:23:30
The other was Gravenberch on Neto which was absolutely insane. John Brooks is a dumpster fire of a ref BUT that we already knew.
@BP, I think it is okay for players to stand wherever they want during a setpiece including in an offside position. However, the refs in the PL have decided that it is now ope season regarding the grabbing and blocking people off hence, there is NO order whatsoever.
This is why we now have chaos in these situations whereas in other leagues I watch, you can do the same things BUT they have limits and the ref has the right to intervene hence, players can't just start throwing each other around cos they will get penalised with fouls and penalties actually get awarded. Just my take.
3.) 22 Oct 2024 19:40:16
The reaction to slot and his staff to that Nunez shoulder barge was fabulous.
Known for being a very calm and level headed man and he spends 8 games in the premier league with our crop of refs and he’s going mad.
4.) 22 Oct 2024 20:57:21
Wassa, pretty sure the calm and level-headed fans sitting at the ground or watching the game on TV had the exact same reaction as Slot and his staff and players did. I know I had it.
5.) 22 Oct 2024 22:04:23
I had it too Oli it was beyond belief!
On the set piece debate I totally agree that you can stand wherever you want and you don’t have to get out of the way. However, if you make a move towards another player to purposely block them from getting to the ball when you are not trying to get to the ball yourself it’s a foul.
I gave an extreme example in another thread of a team taking a kick off and just all linking arms and forming a circle around the player with the ball as he runs to the goal. Blocking all of the defenders from getting to the ball all the way to the goal. It’s a silly example but the premise is the same.
If we are now allowed to block and grab players at set pieces to stop them getting to the ball then why can’t we do it elsewhere on the pitch?
It’s like American Football with the wide receiver running to the endzone whilst his team mates just block the opposition from getting to him. In fact Arsenal’s set pieces are very much like American Football plays. They probably have names for each play in training and write them on whiteboards, who is the runner and who are the blockers.
I really can’t understand people who defend these tactics and don’t see anything wrong with it. It goes against the most basic rules of football.
6.) 22 Oct 2024 22:51:52
That referee was possibly the worst I have seen. Yes the worst ref I can remember just got literally every decision wrong. Even our players where looking at him as if he where a parody or a Harry Enfield character.
Beckers pecker's rumour replies
06 Dec 2024 10:09:27
Looks to me like people on here have been playing football manager too much.
Player X isn’t doing enough of Z so replace him with player Y. Easy.
No. Not easy.
The team and the front 4/ 5 is a unit. Not individual players and all have played their part in us being top of the league. Nunez will have bad games, bad spells but during the cause of the season he will also show his worth. He’ll score important goals like he did last season.
He’s part of a unit who all work for each other and replacing him could upset the balance.
I’ve seen him compared to everyone on this thread but you have to understand tactics to compare correctly. Clearly you don’t understand.
He’s constantly compared to Haaland who actually misses many more chances than Nunez. But city play to give Haaland chances. Their wingers stay wide and stretch the pitch to give him space. Our wingers invert so when Nunez gets the ball the fullbacks are tucked in and CBs close together. It’s much harder for a striker in that position.
I even saw shughes say Jackson is better all round than Nunez! My god if that isn’t match of the day fever I don’t know what is! Jackson has been awful in every aspect until about a month ago when he started a decent run of form. But again, Chelsea have wingers in Neto and Madueke who stay wide, get to the byline and put balls in for him to tap in.
Nunez is doing just fine I just wish people would get off his back and let him play his football.
04 Dec 2024 14:39:33
I think if we look back at Slot’s history you will see that he’s very considered in his career choices and is very loyal to his current employers.
He was much sought after whilst at Feyenoord and had offer to take over at a number of bigger European clubs including both Chelsea and Spurs which he turned down. Now if he was the type to move without sentiment to further his career then there no doubt he would’ve gone then. Both would’ve put him in the Premier League at a big club with a substantial increase in his salary.
He obviously didn’t feel that was right for him at the time whether that was for sentimental reasons or he just didn’t think they were the right fit. What it does show is that he will not take these decisions lightly and jump ship as soon as Madrid start showing him a bit of leg.
I’d imagine if things are going well at Liverpool and we are winning titles then he would just stay here. At the moment any team in Europe is a step down so why move?
It’s not like Spanish, Portuguese or South Americans who see Real and Barcelona as the pinnacle. Holland is a similar climate to the UK and people tend to grow up watching English football so the pinnacle to many is Liverpool and Utd.
29 Nov 2024 16:49:11
I thought the same Dean before the game but the second it kicked off I was desperate for us to turn them over so was very happy Slot didn’t take liberties.
Injuries happen it’s part of the game. It’s unfortunate but we have decent cover so we’ll be fine.
28 Nov 2024 11:27:48
I agree WDW they should take their time to decide how far the action needs to go.
However, they should’ve made him step down from his position as soon as he admitted that the first video of him criticising Liverpool and Klopp was real.
Whatever else they find on him (and it looks like it could be a lot) doesn’t change the fact that he simply can’t referee in England ever again after criticising a team, manager and set of supporters.
His credibility has gone.
28 Nov 2024 02:21:02
He can’t get away with it. He can never ref in England again he will always be questioned for every decision he makes.
The essential part of his job is impartiality and he’s shown he’s not impartial. Even if he hasn’t let his feelings sway his decisions it will always be perceived that way.
He simply has to go.
Beckers pecker's banter replies
08 Dec 2024 23:51:32
It was a back handed dig as us Oli. He’s trying to say he thought we were better than that. He thought we had respect for him and all he’s achieved as we are known for being proper football people.
What he needs to understand is it’s because we are proper football people that we have zero respect for him or anything he’s achieved at City.
07 Dec 2024 23:58:40
So what you’re saying is you’re not intelligent enough to have a debate so you just resort to calling me a liar about something that has nothing to do with our conversation and that I can’t prove and you can’t disprove?
That says more about you than it does me JK.
07 Dec 2024 21:47:33
And now we know the answer to the age old question.
Guardiola’s success IS built on him having the best players at his disposal and not some kind of alchemic genius.
Give him average players and he is average.
07 Dec 2024 18:00:34
And I’m probably exaggerating with the bottled it bit but they’ll certainly make a lot of the ‘reduced from 9pts to 4pts’ part.
You should never give the media any credit mate they’ll say anything to sell papers/ get clicks.
07 Dec 2024 17:07:50
Of course they will Rigsby. Anything for a headline.
Everyone knows it’s all bull but since when did the truth come before a good story?
Anyway, I’m off to negotiate a couple of contracts before tea.
