This is for ed002. If i remember correctly we previously had interest in Tielemans. Have we moved on or are we still have interested in him?
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool were one of the clubs to have sent scouts to watch him. It went no further.}
1.) 20 Jul 2022 10:49:45
I'm finding hard Klopp doesn't want a midfielder this summer as we wanted Aurélien Tchouaméni i'm not sold on Bellingham yet and the injury records of the players we have are not great.
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool made now offer for Tchouameni as he was never going to join the club.}
2.) 20 Jul 2022 20:36:12
Did Liverpool ask his representatives if he was interested in joining ed002?
{Ed002's Note - It was no more than saying the club would meet the financial demands. This is like a joke - he was never going to join and didn't.}

Hello! I suppose many of you are watching the Champions League. Just wanted to say that most referees, even from significantly weaker leagues, seem to maintain a higher standard than English referees. Considering the Premier League is regarded as perhaps the best league, it's very strange that they don't bring in the best referees. What's stopping that? The use of VAR is miles behind how it operates in Germany and Italy. There's almost never talk about referee performance after matchens there but in the PL it's almost after every match. What has gone so wrong?
1.) 10 Apr 2024 09:21:29
Howard Webb.
2.) 10 Apr 2024 09:44:29
I mean I don’t watch other leagues closely as I’m sure many on here don’t. But I would find it very difficult to believe that there is little or no referee controversies each match week.
3.) 10 Apr 2024 10:53:06
I was flipping back and forth between the 2 UCL matches last night. And I didn't see the slightest thing that was controversial.
Is "incompetence" an English privilege restricted to the Premier League or something? I know it isn't in the strongest terms possible. But we keep seeing it in the EPL, week in and week out. That's why I tend towards thinking that there is something else going on.
4.) 10 Apr 2024 12:23:00
The saka decision was as per VAR rules in my opinion. Saka sticking his leg out gave the VAR enough doubt not to overturn it (look at the amount of debate, it shows it wasnt clear and obvious) and got to that decision quickly. That's the high bar that it should be but the Premier league run it terribly.
5.) 10 Apr 2024 12:42:37
WYred- are you thinking of that was the prem then the VAR would have intervened?
6.) 10 Apr 2024 13:01:27
What that was Wy was a great decision from the referee and the VAR were clued up enough to see that and leave it alone.
What we would’ve seen in the PL is a 4 minute VAR check whilst they tie themselves up in knots trying to find a rule that it relates to which allows them to give the decision in the way they want.
Saka obviously kicked the keeper to try to buy a penalty after overrunning the ball. Anyone who knows football could see that which means our VAR officials would’ve 100% given it the other way.
7.) 10 Apr 2024 13:20:44
Looked like a Saka dive to me, the moment it happened. And I didn't think twice about it.
8.) 10 Apr 2024 13:21:31
Faith, if that’s the prem I think they give it. However, whilst not a dive, it’s creating contact and a way of playing the rules. Kane was the master at it and I think some of ours have done it too. Some argue Elliott did on the weekend but his was more subtle.
If refs get stronger on it they’ll eventually stop and if I was Arteta I’d be livid that Saka hasn’t just continued his run, he’s tried to be too cute and it’s backfired.
9.) 10 Apr 2024 14:42:34
don't think Saka kicked t he goalie but what he did was a classic hharry claim sorry kane move as in leaving his leg behind the goalie leg, go down and scream loudly broken leg scream ., should have got a yellow card for that and his or protests.
10.) 10 Apr 2024 17:56:57
I thought Elliott dived on Sunday . Player slides in and Elliott initiates the contact with WB thigh.
11.) 10 Apr 2024 22:54:22
No dive from Elliot, also thought that he was our best player when he came on he was brilliant, did a lot more than most,
12.) 11 Apr 2024 17:28:06
The ref got it absolutely spot on. Saka like several of the Arsenal players dive a lot but the refs say or do nothing. Saka dived van WH at the Emirates and was not booked. Same for Havertz vs Brentford a couple of weeks ago. Now he cheats ti get a pen vs Bayern. Not surprised.
13.) 11 Apr 2024 17:38:14
Saka is a cheat like his team mates and his manager.
What about the arsenal center half handling the ball in penalty area after keeper had took free kick and the ref after the game said he should of given a penalty
So just as bad as other uk refs poor and people say city get the refs decisions i rather think arsenal get the decisions from ref but there again they are a club full of cheats.
04 Feb 2023 10:41:33
Woke up with a positive feeling, many players are back in training and now that we're out of the cup they should have gotten a real reality check. Many are talking about Trent as a midfielder but I think he's absolutely best when he comes up and can deliver early crosses or overlap with Salah.
But after this season's performances, I'd be happy if they just play rock n' roll football again. That would be a step in the right direction.
Hopefully Nunez can score a few goals, I'm going for a 3-1 victory with 2 from Nunez and 1 from Salah on a penalty.
1.) 04 Feb 2023 11:10:05
Fancy mo to score a couple today. 2-0 r 3-1 to us ?.
2.) 04 Feb 2023 11:13:35
Love the positivity mate, nice to hear ?
Hoping the same myself, would love to see full throttle attacking, think it may be more like the cup game, but a win would be fantastic first up.
Here’s to a win ?.
3.) 04 Feb 2023 11:17:36
New month so hopefully we get off to a winning start. 3 points now to kick start the 2nd half of our league campaign.
4.) 04 Feb 2023 11:30:31
Woaaah. Where did all this positivity suddenly come from? ?.
5.) 04 Feb 2023 11:30:49
This is a must win game today. Never thought Wolves away at the start of feburary would be considered that, but with the derby fast approaching and Madrid coming up we have to start winning. Going in to those game without a win will just further set the rot in and we will have zero confidence in those games. I think we will go full throttle and do a job on Wolves today . 3-0.
6.) 04 Feb 2023 11:49:59
Yey our supporters are out in force - let’s hope for a win to keep the moaners quiet (cue moaners moaning about me moaning about their moaning) . Ps for those sensitive folks, it’s called irony ?.
7.) 04 Feb 2023 12:27:16
New month, new start. Must win, 3-1 Lfc.
8.) 04 Feb 2023 12:58:22
Up the Reds! Gakpo to shine today.
9.) 04 Feb 2023 13:05:35
Let’s keep the positivity going, lads. Hope the team can pull of the victory today.
10.) 04 Feb 2023 13:10:48
We are Liverpool positivity is in our DNA.
11.) 04 Feb 2023 13:31:02
I will take any sort of win. A shot coming of Salah’s arse will do me.
12.) 04 Feb 2023 13:50:06
3 points today lads. I can feel it in my bones. Then we build from there!
13.) 04 Feb 2023 14:38:22
I woke up with a ‘positive feeling’ myself this morning.
14.) 04 Feb 2023 15:27:56
And we're getting battered.
15.) 04 Feb 2023 15:35:33
I like the positivity guys. Let’s see how the result goes (currently 0-2 35mins) . Will have to keep that going cos the team need it.
16.) 04 Feb 2023 15:41:41
Gonna need 3 of Salah’s arse now ?
01 Feb 2023 06:20:51
If we end up above 6th place, I'll eat my hat. The football we play now is boring and slow, and we rarely create clear chances. Our defence is as poor as Everton's. Alison has made a few mistakes, but he has also saved us a lot of points and is, in my opinion, our best player.
How can Klopp turn this around when some of the players seem disinterested in being on the pitch (Salah, Fabinho, Ox, Naby, and even VVD)? Where do we go from here? I know a lot of people are blaming Lijnders, but we played like this last season too and still managed to do well if not great.
I personally feel that losing Mane is a big reason for our decline. He had great synergy with Trent and was constantly running behind their lines, causing major problems for the backline. Now, we have out of position players like Elliot or Ox who don't make the same runs, and Salah is like a ghost and doesn't pose any threat at all. As everyone has stated, we clearly need to renew our midfield.
In conclusion, we are not bringing in the right players for the way we play, with the exception of Diaz.
1.) 01 Feb 2023 07:16:46
If you don’t end up above 6th I’ll eat my hat.
2.) 01 Feb 2023 07:53:03
I find it funny that despite being one of our better performers since he’s come into the side, Naby is still getting beaten.
I’m not suggesting we keep him, in fact I’ve been an advocate of letting him go for a few years now, but he is still 33% of the most functional midfield we’ve had all season.
3.) 01 Feb 2023 07:58:52
More positivity from a United fan than supposedly one of our own, now THAT'S damning! Thanks stand, I agree, and hope you overtake city and pep cries!
4.) 01 Feb 2023 08:23:33
Windows closed so only thing we can do is get behind the team be it you’re there on match day, watching from a tv or stream or from behind a keyboard.
There’s lots to feel unhappy about but also apart from City fans we’ve had more joy and reasons to celebrate over the last 4-5 seasons than every other British clubs fans.
It’s time for the management and the players to stand up and be counted.
On a plus note with us lingering in 9th there’s ample opportunities for fans who don’t get match day tickets or who have never been to Anfield to possibly exploit as I know the chances of getting tickets at the moment is far easier.
Every cloud and that.
5.) 01 Feb 2023 08:46:05
I'm persuaded that we will play UCL footie next season. O I won't write off our chances of winning it this season either.
6.) 01 Feb 2023 08:54:43
JK, surely you've read the posts and reactions from certain quarters that they don't give a damn about the stadium, nor its expansion, and would have preferred that the funds be used to purchase new players? ?.
7.) 01 Feb 2023 09:06:05
6th 5th 4th 2nd 15th. don’t get a trophy for any of them.
8.) 01 Feb 2023 09:06:55
I have only seen one post about not wanting the expansion. It’s a good point on tickets, there were daily posts asking how to get tickets and now it’s fairly easy. Hopefully the posters who were desperate to go to Anfield still have the same desire.
9.) 01 Feb 2023 09:13:24
Spot on, ArAy1969. There was actually a thread about this where a poster said that he would rather have a fantastic team that fantastic facilities. Now that would make sense if we did not have the example of Utd to lean into where they have spent approaching 1.5bn on players (with NOTHING to show for it over the past 5 years and counting) whereas their training ground is reportedly a dump and their stadium is leaking and rodent infested.
So essentially even after all that we have achieved under Klopp and FSG (who hired Klopp after John Henry caved to the recommendations of the Analytics team), some of our fans can be so freaking ungrateful, it's baffling.
10.) 01 Feb 2023 09:19:55
No you don’t win any trophies but 2nd or 4th are obviously better than 5th, 6th or 15th and it might just give an indicator of what the team are still capable of.
11.) 01 Feb 2023 09:20:19
Aray in fairness I’ve been away for a few weeks so I’ve missed a lot and sometimes I’ll skip past certain comments and posts after a couple of lines.
In fairness the owners have been extremely business savvy with the redevelopment of Anfield it looks good, there’s more fans in the stadium but certain seating in the stadium actually makes it difficult to watch games when the ball is in certain areas especially for children and the older generation.
The money that’s been spent on the redevelopment gets paid back to the owners and is a big part in the club going from being bought for 300 mill to being valued at 3 billion.
Not a moan but extremely business savvy from FSG. They didn’t redevelop though for the love of the club and need of the fans.
12.) 01 Feb 2023 09:38:36
I am not criticizing Nabys ability, I am simply observing that he appears to lack motivation to play football. If the team was either playing an entertaining style and losing, or playing poorly and winning, I could support them, but they are currently doing neither.
Additionally, I have doubts about the recent signings of Carvalho, Elliot, Gakpo, Ramsey, and Arthur.
Do they suit us?
13.) 01 Feb 2023 09:47:18
They were more than capable of doing up infrastructure with their own pockets. They could have It’s great that more fans can go but that upper main is the quietest part of a recently very quiet stadium. Should do a Newcastle and stick the away fans up there.
14.) 01 Feb 2023 09:50:55
No business would redevelop for the love of the club or fans though to be fair. Redevelopment of a stadium is a major financial risk and it has to make sense in terms of revenue growth, investment etc. The only reason clubs expand is to make more money or meet certain regulations for competitions etc.
Let's not pretend FSG are the big bad wolf in this regard.
Besides that, great to see you back JK, will be nice to have your posts back.
15.) 01 Feb 2023 10:12:54
OneKiss, you talk as if they had the ability to do so and chose not to just to pee off you and your ilk. They came in and said what they were going to do and how the model was going to work. They did NOT promise you and your ilk to use their funds to do a damn thing so you assumed that all on your own. Your cross to bear BUT I'm sure you'll take responsibility for that. I wouldn't hold my breathe.
Also you do remember (and I know you do cos you seem to know EVERYTHING about FSG) that when they first took over the club, we were losing 50m a year for a few seasons back then. Whose money do you think was being used to cover the short fall until we got back on our feet through sponsorships and player sales? I know for a fact, it wasn't you. They developed their asset by putting in the infrastructure we needed as a club and when they leave, these facilities will STILL be there. That's how business works and investment and Return on Investment strategies work. Take a business class for heaven sake.
I spoke facts, bro so you can take your emotional rants that are devoid of any facts based on reality, elsewhere bro. It's getting boring reading the same schstick from the usual suspects like you and your BFF named VVVV.
16.) 01 Feb 2023 10:21:23
Stuie cheers for the reply mate. I def wasn’t trying to make out FSG as the big bad Wolf but also the plaudits they get for the redevelopment is all to do with money. Some of the new seating in the stadium feels like it was “let’s get as money seats in as we can without worrying about fans ability to see the game”
FSG have grown this club and they’ve done lots of things right. Purely from a fan point of view though with zero experience I’m struggling to see how they are going to attract investors to part with their money into a club where they then have no say despite it being common knowledge FSG’s own invest investment has increased by 10 times and they are unwilling to invest more themselves.
17.) 01 Feb 2023 10:40:49
A bit of balance is needed. FSG are ok stewards. Just ok. Not good. And definitely not bad.
We have outgrown them. And with negative outlook of ESL and FFP not being what they thought it would be, they have admitted they need help (investment/ sale) to keep up with rivals. Admitting that is good thing to be fair.
My preference would be a full sale with a clean slate whereby we can do business differently/ normally rather than continuously looking for cheat codes while pleading poverty (through the press puppets) .
Let's see what happens in the coming weeks/ months.
18.) 01 Feb 2023 10:54:59
Abramovich basically done everything for the love of the club and fans.
19.) 01 Feb 2023 11:54:17
They didn’t promise that but thanking the multi billionaires for spending someone else’s money so they make a bigger profit? I think they should have paid for the it themselves it’s a personal opinion.
20.) 01 Feb 2023 12:23:53
IR, I can't say about abramovich as I didn't really follow his ownership, but I do very much doubt he did it for the fans unless you have some figures etc? Chelsea are very well run from the outside though, but questions can also be raised about the ownership and the ethical sod eof things, but that's another discussion.
JK, I get your point, unfortunately I haven't been to anfield for about 5 years so can't comment, but it's a shame if that's the case.
In my opinion, I also fail to see how they will attract an outright buyer at the price they want, I feel LFC have hit their peak in terms of financial return and any buyer would be doing so more as a luxury than an investment, as they likely wouldn't get a great return long term unless the super league kicks off.
21.) 01 Feb 2023 13:29:41
OP, can you record yourself eating your hat when we get above 6th? ;)
I still think the chances have been there, maybe not as much as previous years, but for all the talent in our front line they are just not converting. How many have we seen Salah and Darwin miss, not have saved but actually miss the goal completely? Goals that could have turned draws into wins and losses into draws. They bury some of those chances and we're right there. Don't get me wrong, our midfield is definitely a mess, but if we could score the team would be under a lot less pressure.
22.) 01 Feb 2023 14:39:50
OneKiss, what you or I believe is irrelevant from the moment they announced how we were going to be run. We were a fully depreciated asset hence, we did not cost that much to buy and they turned us into a very viable asset by using their savvy to get good sponsorship deals, investing in new installations at the club and putting a winning product on the pitch which bring even more sponsorhip and revenue. What you believe should have happened, makes no difference. Get over yourself.
And to those talking about Abramovitch and his time at Chelsea, the guy only used Chelsea to launder his dirty money he was making by being Putin's bestie cos that's the ONLY way you become an oligarch. He also used it to launder his image. Did it for the love of the fans? Yeah if you believe that, I have a swamp full of gators down there in Florida I will like to sell to you.
23.) 01 Feb 2023 14:54:10
Why should they have paid for it themselves OneKiss?
If that’s the way you want things to be you need to be moaning about who can own a club and what they are for rather than those who buy them.
The years of top level football being purely for entertainment are long behind us, they are businesses and are used to make a profit or for advertising purposes (including sports washing) .
To make football truly competitive I think you’d need to bring in wage caps, salary caps, and maybe to have all clubs owned by a central body that effectively runs as a charity, whose job is to provide the best possible experience for the fans at a reasonable price.
Never going to happen though, there’s too much money in football, and the fans of the ‘bigger’ clubs would fight it tooth and naiil, and most are more interested than counting trophies than watching competitive football.
30 Jul 2023 21:11:10
Wow do we get them on loan? ?.
01 Apr 2024 08:11:38
I completely agree with you. I was livid, especially at Gomez, but the whole team for taking extremely unnecessary risks attacking in OT. All you need to do is pass around and play out the time. We need to be smarter here.
22 Jan 2024 04:28:02
Davey - I completely agree with the analysis of Gravenberch. He runs around at about 70-80% and doesn't apply the same pressure as the others in midfield. However, he's fantastic with the ball, physically strong, has excellent technical skills, and a good understanding of the game. If we've conducted this analysis, the coaches should review it afterward and hopefully develop a plan to match the intensity of the rest of the team. At the moment, though, I think he's quite low in the pecking order. A very good match (2nd half) from both Jota and Nunez, but man of the match for me was Mac Allister. He won nearly every duel, disrupted the play, initiated attacks, and dictated the game in my opinion. Well, onwards and upwards for the next match.

Guess they talk about the Newcastle one?
06 Sep 2023 06:42:39
ineffective mane, really? He was prob the best finisher out of the 3.
200m is crazy money but Salah contribute so much more then just goals and assists. If we going to sell do it in January so we can get a replacement.
{Ed001's Note - I think he was referring to Mane's final season when he was struggling badly for us because he wanted out.}
