According to Mail online Liverpool have left behind for tonight's game the following
VVD, SALAH, TRENT, ALLI, . Mac, GRAV, DIAX, SZOB, KONATE. This in my opinion will show the quality of the squad, and please all those calling for others to get more minutes.
1.) 29 Jan 2025 11:28:01
Think Gakpo has only gone because it's his former side. I expect we'll still play a relatively strong side something close to:
Kelleher; Bradley, Endo, Quansah, Tsimikas; Morton, Elliott, McConnell; Chiesa, Nunez, Gakpo
I would expect Gakpo to be withdrawn relatively early if he does start, so that he is okay to start on Saturday.
2.) 29 Jan 2025 17:57:42
Not sure that is such a good idea playing a weakened side when we still need to get a point out of next two games to win the league part of the champions league.
3.) 29 Jan 2025 18:23:16
Is there a secret fixture im unaware of?
4.) 29 Jan 2025 18:32:36
Hello, Chaosengine
It is the final "LEAGUE" phase of the UCL tonight all 18 games will start at the same time 20:00 hrs UK time.
It's the night which every result counts, as teams battle for a place in the "KNOCK OUT" rounds or, if they are lucky a shot at the coveted top-eight spot which bypasses two extra games.
5.) 30 Jan 2025 00:38:32
God help us with fans like that!
6.) 30 Jan 2025 08:41:08
Well that aged well. Seems like Slot had it all worked out. Some of the fans may start trusting his judgement sooner or later.
31 Jan 2024 17:51:45
Ed, This must be the quietest transfer window I can ever remember. Is there a specific reason for it do you think, or is it that clubs haven't got the money to splash the cash. Has FFP got anything to do with it.
{Ed002's Note - FFP Has no more impact on this window than on others. Certainly a few things are in the pipeline for today but January is tough due to the difficulty in obtaining replacements.}
1.) 01 Feb 2024 12:28:59
The PL have shown they’re taking things more seriously now - see Everton - so I’d suggest clubs are taking things a tad more seriously.
2.) 01 Feb 2024 12:30:09
Any loan outgoings expected today Ed002? Also thanks for sticking round on the site all these years. 10 years ago I thought you would have been sick of us Liverpool fans by now!
{Ed002's Note - Billy Koumetio and Bobby Clark perhaps.}
3.) 01 Feb 2024 15:21:47
Cheers Ed002.
4.) 02 Feb 2024 19:31:12
Young players coming through has saved us having to do anything, which is great. Bradley and Quansah are priceless. And not forgetting the performances of Gomes at left back.
08 Feb 2023 15:49:47
Looks like the Quatari's have dropped Liverpool interest, and going for Utd instead. So financially we are miles behind City, Newcastle, Chelsea and Utd. They will be able to buy which players they want, and it looks like we will get into a fight with Arsenal and Spurs for what's left.
{Ed025's Note - well maybe not city elliot..
1.) 08 Feb 2023 15:58:04
Arsenal will be alright for a while i think, we’ve given them a blueprint of exactly what not to do when you get to the top of the league.
2.) 08 Feb 2023 16:24:34
Better dead than smeg.
3.) 08 Feb 2023 16:59:39
Arsenal and Spurs? I don’t think we’ll even compete with them. It’ll be back to the 80’s fighting with Everton for players. With both of us at the wrong end of the table.
4.) 08 Feb 2023 17:35:08
1. nothing has happened even remotely officially.
2. They’ve been buying every player they want for over a decade. So no change there.
5.) 08 Feb 2023 17:43:51
Fsg want a minority sale! They want to keep fsg it’s a cash cow for them!
I’d not want to sell myself!
I’d love oil rich owners but I’ll keep fsg as long as they dip into their pockets and invest in the squad! But then again klopp says he’s happy with it so maybe it’s his fault I dunno!
Or else no investment and it’s like the 90’s again and we fall decades behind?
6.) 08 Feb 2023 18:12:19
“It’ll be back to the 80’s fighting with Everton for players. ”
You mean when both teams were the best? What a stupid comparison.
I love that we haven’t got rid of FSG yet but already whoever comes in is already not going to be good enough as they aren’t the golden Middle East cash cow. Unbelievable.
7.) 08 Feb 2023 19:19:03
Boo f’ing hoo- not exactly Bolton is it - get over yourself!
8.) 08 Feb 2023 20:31:27
Let’s get our own house in order before we start having panic attacks before anyone else.
If you look back a couple of years you had City, United and Chelsea spending piles of money and for the past four or five years you had City and Liverpool evenly matched.
If you look forward two or three years you will have City, United, Chelsea and Newcastle spending piles of money - not a lot of change there really - with the only difference being that any massive amount of money Newcastle she’ll out will potentially dilute the quality of massively overpriced players that the other three sign on.
We built a team that was - for about a year - 18 months - the best team on the planet. We built it by ‘buying the right players at the right price’ (with one or two exceptions - noticeably Naby) .
The difference is we built a squad / team that worked well - the sum of the whole was greater than the sum of the parts - unlike Chelsea or United and even City. The vision to see what could be done and the skill to carry it out belonged to Jurgen Norbert Klopp, with the backing of his support staff and the owners of the club. If he still has the appetite we can do it again.
Have a bit of faith Redmen,
9.) 08 Feb 2023 20:12:19
But I want! But I want! But I want!
10.) 08 Feb 2023 21:35:53
Very well said WDW
Ffp if applied properly especially the new rules coming in should level the field even more . (again if their not exploited)
I have a feeling Wel be ok
We are Liverpool football club
Absolute powerhouse of football
We just need stability and the right people in the right positions in the club
The team needs support not more negativity.
11.) 08 Feb 2023 22:09:00
Jay Jay. Fsg did not take Mike Gordon away from running the club for a minority sale, as ed02 said they are looking to a full sale, despite what people want to believe.
12.) 08 Feb 2023 22:55:06
Some fans are happy Liverpool fc is righteous and not tainted by oil $, definitely worth sacrifice of to be out of all competitions and languishing in mid table.
13.) 09 Feb 2023 00:03:44
WSW. I didn't come here to read common sense posts from rational people. What do you think this is?
14.) 09 Feb 2023 08:25:39
Haha back to the 80's, we wish, before now that was our time, team of the decade in the 80's, watch a video or two pal.
15.) 09 Feb 2023 10:26:50
“I love that we haven’t got rid of FSG yet but already whoever comes in is already not going to be good enough“
I’m sure you’ll be saying that next season too, after another relatively barren summer, when we line up in August with the largely the same team and largely the same squad as this season, getting largely the same insipid results, only without champions league football.
FSG don’t have the money (or inclination) pto make the changes needed as their priority is getting their money back, not the success of the club, the two things not being mutually exclusive, as they’ve found with the Redsox.
Some very hard decisions need to be taken in the summer if we are to get back to the top, decisions that mean a lot of money would need to be spent. Gomez, Matip, Phillips, Williams, Henderson, Jones need to be sold. Milner, Ox, Keita released. Kelleher will probably want to leave for first team football. There’s a reasonable question as to whether VVD and Salah should both be sold given their ages. Thiago doesn’t have many more miles left in him and Bajcetic is the only centre midfielder we’ve got who is worth keeping. So that’s two good quality, robust centre halves, at least three top quality centre midfielders and a competent back up keeper, as a minimum. And that’s without factoring the possibility of selling Salah and/ or VVD as you’d then have to buy like for like replacements in quality.
I very much doubt that FSG’s £50m plus sales is going to get very far (any serious idea that there’s a £200m plus sales “warchest” when we’re very unlikely to have qualified for the champions league is somewhere between delusional and laughable) and I very much doubt that the likes of Bellingham will be considering coming to a team in such disarray and in such alarming decline, there looks to be no money to fix things and no plan to put it right.
It’s looking like mid table obscurity from this season onwards unless something drastically changes, which looks unlikely as things stand.
And yes, it’s entirely reasonable to write off the likes of Redbird, HBSE, Ricketts family and Stephen Pagliuca, as their overall track records of sports club ownership is poor at best (ask Milan fans about Redbird, they’ll soon tell you how much they’re hated) . The fact that Pagliuca, Ricketts and HBSE were binned off as not being remotely suitable for Chelsea should ring alarm bells that they’re not good enough for us.
Redbird increasing their stake in FSG would make no tangible benefit to us whatsoever. The last time they bought a stake in FSG, FSG went out and bought an NHL team. All that will happen is FSG will expand their portfolio into the NBA.
If mid table mediocrity is what you want, then you’re certainly going to enjoy watching us continue under FSG or fall under the ownership (or co ownership) of any of the interested parties listed above, as that’s all they can deliver because there isn’t a Coutinho for them to sell.
{Ed001's Note - how can RedBird's record at Milan be brought into this? How can Milan fans hate them when they only took them over in the summer? If you are going to try and make claims try not to make them nonsense please.}
16.) 09 Feb 2023 11:31:28
Jay Dub Red - but they don’t invest in the squad. Although not nearly enough to warrant where we should be.
17.) 10 Feb 2023 07:42:22
@Iggy, what’s your opinion on “where we should be” and why? I’m genuinely interested.
18.) 10 Feb 2023 08:44:10
so other clubs will be buying at the top table. Sounds like normal service resuming to be fair.
09 Nov 2022 22:21:18
If this buyout takes a long drawn out time. Will it impact on any signings this January window, or will it make no difference.
{Ed002's Note - Which signings are these? Mbappe, Bellinhgham, Rice and Felix - or others?}
1.) 10 Nov 2022 13:25:36
The others please Ed :)
2.) 11 Nov 2022 22:05:57
Anyone else noticed for the first time ever this season. because as elliot ness says above regarding buy out talks.
No poster has talked about tomorrows home game versus the Saints.
3.) 12 Nov 2022 09:13:26
After the forest and Leeds games, I'm nervous about todays game. Hate coming up against teams when it's a new managers first game in charge.

Hi Ed. Do you know whether any of the players who missed out on a parade when we won the covid PL, have been invited to today's parade. I hope so, as they deserve it.
{Ed001's Note - no idea, I know a few were there but not sure if they were invited or just went off their own bat.}
1.) 26 May 2025 19:08:25
Prays and thoughts with everyone involved in the horrific incident at the parade ?.
2.) 26 May 2025 19:11:11
Just heard about that jk23. Accident I hope.
{Ed025's Note - its no accident Magico..
3.) 26 May 2025 19:14:51
What in blazes is happening to this world?
{Ed025's Note - its gone bananas..
4.) 26 May 2025 19:20:47
Shocking ed.
{Ed025's Note - disgusting Magico mate..
5.) 26 May 2025 19:31:45
I only watched the video of the crash once, was sent by a mate. Just figured it was a nice parade video. I'm in shock. Agree with above posts, not an accidental incident.
6.) 26 May 2025 19:31:37
Hello Eds, Emerging Video evidence is indicating deliberate intentions, would it not be better to halt all other postings and solely focus on the safety of all the LFC fans at the Parade, via this one post till we all receive further clarification.
02 Apr 2025 19:10:16
Is Allison made of glass.
1.) 02 Apr 2025 19:41:16
He has a concussion, not a lot he can do about that.
2.) 02 Apr 2025 22:29:21
LFC goalkeeper Tommy Lawrence had 18 stitches in his knee cap after playing an Easter Good Friday game away at Burnley, Shankly made him play the next day Easter Saturday and also the Easter Monday Game, three full league games in four days over the easter period.
But he was from the era of Iron Men and Wooden Boats, sadly Alisson is the complete opposite of the above, and many like him all big tarts.
{Ed001's Note - he is not allowed to play with concussion, don't be stupid that is what causes long term brain damage. It is not being hard.}
3.) 02 Apr 2025 22:47:11
So does heading a fooball regularly, but outfield players still play nonetheless despite the risk, how many times does a goalie head a football in 90 minutes.
{Ed001's Note - not when they have concussion they don't.}
4.) 02 Apr 2025 22:50:43
Don't worry 007, I too want my heroes to become Aaron Hernandez.
5.) 02 Apr 2025 22:53:43
Nothing will convince me 007 doesn’t have a permanent concussion.
6.) 02 Apr 2025 22:54:54
The neanderthals still walk amongst us. ??.
7.) 02 Apr 2025 23:00:46
Or as the late and great Ed002 would say Gilfenards.
8.) 02 Apr 2025 23:05:30
Is Alisson made of glass? Better question is have you been able to function in your daily life while carrying a concussion?
9.) 02 Apr 2025 23:36:38
007 must have had a bonk on the head himself.
10.) 02 Apr 2025 23:42:44
I can't believe people are suggesting Alisson plays through a concussion. Seriously?!
11.) 03 Apr 2025 00:17:03
Even if he wanted to ( play) it’s the rules now.
12.) 03 Apr 2025 01:19:34
The last keeper we had who played through a concussion threw the ball into the net and was abused out of the club.
In all seriousness, concussion are serious injuries and will lead to more severe complications, such as coma or even death, if not treated properly.
And 007, the constant heading of balls during their playing career have led to early onset dementia on players too. That's why so many of our footballing legends pass away at a relatively young age and usually have a poor quality of life towards the end. If you'd rather players go through that later in their life just so they can be seen as "strong" now, the problem lies more with people like you than it does with them.
13.) 03 Apr 2025 02:16:53
We aren’t in the Stone Age anymore. We’ve got the some of the best doctors and sports scientists in the world explaining why he can’t play.
14.) 03 Apr 2025 05:13:23
Hey! Leave me out of this.
26 Feb 2025 18:26:30
Ed, do you think Slot being banned from the touchline tonight will make a big difference to us. Also is he allowed in the dressing room at half time.
{Ed001's Note - no and yes.}
1.) 26 Feb 2025 19:03:30
Thanks for your reply.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}
2.) 26 Feb 2025 19:27:22
Virtually full strength tonight, only Gakpo and Robbo missing out. Diaz is due a goal, should be his type of open game. Good to see Isak out though, without him they’re not quite as dangerous on the counter.
3.) 26 Feb 2025 19:29:47
Talk about on the fence lol.
{Ed001's Note - what do you mean? There were two questions. The no answers the first, the yes answers the second.}
4.) 26 Feb 2025 19:52:42
No Isak tonight, shots in tonight, soften them up for Wembley.
5.) 26 Feb 2025 22:16:37
Ed001, classic.
{Ed001's Note - I did think it was obvious but there you go.}
6.) 26 Feb 2025 22:25:34
"do you want tea or coffee? "
"no and yes"
!
I understood it the first time Ed001!
7.) 26 Feb 2025 23:14:47
My bad ed. think I had a Karius moment. Clueless.
{Ed001's Note - no worries mate.}
8.) 27 Feb 2025 12:56:00
In other leagues when the manager gets a ban, he is not allowed in the stadium when his team is playing.
17 Jan 2025 10:05:14
I have never come on this site
and said we should buy this player, or that player, but I am seriously concerned that we don't appear to even be linked with reinforcements for positions that everyone knows we desperately need. Massive amount of games still to come, and we are in danger of burning out several players if we carry on the way we are going. Be a shame to miss out on trophies because of burnout, when there is something that can be done to alleviate it.
1.) 17 Jan 2025 10:24:35
EN, we haven't been linked to anyone? Are you sure?
2.) 17 Jan 2025 10:41:39
Play the best team in the league and rotate for other games. that's the only way I think we can get the points we will need. Unless of course Arsenal can’t go on a winning run.

Mcgovern. Reported where and by who.
20 Apr 2025 11:09:56
I would rather we win the league today. Think of the reception the players would get at Anfield v Spurs.
13 Apr 2025 18:20:58
Maybe the crowd was subdued, because they were bored with the football we are recently seeing. They have been used to Klopp's style of exciting football, and when things were not going our way, Klopp would stand in front of them and gee them uo.
