Im at work but a mate just told me Adrian is not fit to play on Saturday and our new keep Andy L is going to play instead please tell me he is pulling my leg Ed001.

Johncrow Junior

{Ed001's Note - I have not heard of any injury to Adrian.}


1.) 16 Aug 2019 11:53:00
He injured his ankle during the after match celebrations, and is indeed a doubt for tomorrow.


2.) 16 Aug 2019 12:33:18
Adrian was injured by a fan who was being chased by security. He slipped and 2 footed Adrian. Doubtful for tomorrow.

Looks like we won't see Keita until after the international break.

{Ed025's Note - typical..


3.) 16 Aug 2019 12:34:05
a fan ran onto the field and hit his ankle while sliding. Video is on the Echo.


4.) 16 Aug 2019 12:43:52
That’s correct, fan ran on and slipped into Adrián. His ankle is swollen, might make it tomorrow.

{Ed025's Note - or...typical liverpool drunken thug flouts security by invading the pitch and injures goalkeeper..


5.) 16 Aug 2019 13:41:28
The fan who ran on and 2 footed him had a Ed025 T shirt on.

{Ed025's Note - not guilty JK....i cant run that far mate..


6.) 16 Aug 2019 14:31:20
You could play in Everton’s midfield then Ed025. They don’t run that far either mate.

{Ed025's Note - your not far wrong there JK..


7.) 16 Aug 2019 18:04:44
Those ed25 fans are a disgrace.

{Ed025's Note - if they thought it was me shents...they might arrest george clooney, im his doppleganger mate.. :)


8.) 16 Aug 2019 18:28:40
It was actually a Southampton fan.

{Ed025's Note - its a wonder that pep has not been cited, he usually gets it in the neck on these pages amerigo..


9.) 16 Aug 2019 18:50:45
Adrian will play with a slight booboo to his ankle no need to panic.

Matip getting a new deal?
that would be a very brave one from Klopp if true.

Johncrow Junior

1.) 24 Apr 2019 19:05:46
I don't see why, honestly don't know why he gets half the stick he does. He's perfect for what he is, a back up centre half to the main pairing which, when Gomez is fit is Joe and Virgil. I also think we as Liverpool fans compare our other centre halves to Van Dijk now which is unfair as he's the best defender i've ever seen in the Premier League. Matip would comfortably get into the likes of Man U's and Arsenals first 11's and he's never kicked off when out of the side. Obviously we'd all like a De Ligt or a Alderweireld buts its very hard and unrealistic to expect to have four world class centre halves at 1 club.


2.) 24 Apr 2019 19:15:23
Not old ”give them a new deal just prior to punting them around” scam?

I like the kid but wouldn't be confident starting a season with him as 3rd choice CB behind JG and VVD.


3.) 24 Apr 2019 19:22:48
agreed little naby. can't have 4 1st choice CBs and Matip has done a job for us no doubt.


4.) 24 Apr 2019 19:32:55
Unnecessary hate, on the verge of trolling. We are on our biggest winning streak since Klopp took over and he’s started every game bar one. The Hendo bashers obviously have a new target. I agree he’s better than any of united and Arsenal’s defenders. Definitely an excellent third choice cb.


5.) 24 Apr 2019 20:02:20
Lerchy, I'm a HUGE Hendo lover and I think Matip is not good enuff for us long term.


6.) 24 Apr 2019 21:29:18
But he hasn’t put a foot wrong since January? Who would you replace him with? Realistically not fm.


7.) 24 Apr 2019 22:06:08
I don’t rate Matip and believe he is someone we can improve upon.
BUT

Where are the fantastic centre backs who will be 3rd choice? I doubt they’re out there and it is responsible to protect the squad in this way.


8.) 24 Apr 2019 22:44:11
Well said Ron.


9.) 24 Apr 2019 23:06:46
Matip is 3rd choice at centre half, and yes, he is not good enough for the 1st team, but I am happy enough for him to be a back up,
its Lovren who needs replacing, cos the man just can't stay fit, its a long hard season, and we don't need passengers if we want to stay as a top side,
we def need to keep on adding one or two class players, this will keep us at the top .


10.) 24 Apr 2019 23:12:50
he's perfect for us. unless he wanta to leavto be a regular starter then ok fair enough. but other than that as 3rd or 4th choice, he is experienced and steady enough.


11.) 24 Apr 2019 23:18:01
There are not many great centre backs in football anyway, Joel Matip has been a great back up in my opinion. As Ron said there are no fantastic centre backs happy to be third choice.
Even if Liverpool bought a so called top centre back, where would that leave Gomez.
Matip is not as terrible as he is made out and gets too much stick here. He has definitely made a positive contribution to the team so maybe he deserves a new contract as a backup defender.


12.) 24 Apr 2019 23:39:06
Ron, I rate Matip higher than you do but I agree 100% with the rest of your post. Well said.


13.) 24 Apr 2019 23:58:11
Maybe not longterm Redwolf but even having him as backup allows Jana-Hoever to learn his trade as back up to Trent at rightfull until he moves inside. What does it say to him if we keep buying big names to block his path because this kid could be our very own De Ligt. At the end of the day we have two world class centre halfs and two top end defenders in reserve. Show me a team in this league that's better stocked at centre half.


14.) 25 Apr 2019 01:51:01
Lerchy you say he hasn't put a foot wrong since January? How do you come up with that assessment? He's been exposed in the majority of matches. he so often gets dragged out of position and commits to challenge unnecessary tackles. If he gets a foot in everybody cheers and claps, but most of the time he shouldn't even be putting himself in scenarios,! You don't see virgil sprinting out to wide areas 50 yards from goal with little threat on just to make an unnecessary tackle, he often needlessly risks us being left wide open when he should focus on maintaining shape. You can see VVDs frustration with him many times during games.


15.) 25 Apr 2019 07:50:56
No axe to grind with Matip and believe he's a better backup than Lovren, but I really think Gomez needs to be back in the team asap as I think he'll be a better bet for these last 5/ 6 games we're about to play!


16.) 25 Apr 2019 07:56:02
All these experts who want Matip gone - are you really a better judge of player than Klopp?


17.) 25 Apr 2019 08:06:46
FlashTheRed. Not at all, just stating my personal opinion of him through watching him play. I don't have an axe to grind with him for no reason, he's just the one player who I really don't rate. And your point with klopp has no basis anywat. When all CB were fully fit and available he was the 4th choice clearly.

I just don't rate him personally, and I hate having to criticise any of our boys.


18.) 25 Apr 2019 09:57:43
If Matip is meant to be fourth choice then he is way ahead of Klavan before him, and marginally behind Lovren, if at all.


19.) 25 Apr 2019 10:05:11
Matip was getting brickbats in the first half of the season because he was clearly playing poorly. His second half has been a clear improvement, and as good as the first year he joined. So it's all relative to player form and performance, as it should be.


20.) 25 Apr 2019 13:15:32
I think he's a decent choice for a 3rd or 4th choice defender for Liverpool, but as I keep saying any time this topic arises, our 3rd and 4th choice CBs (in most people's eyes) are earning over £200k a week in total, and that's not sustainable, especially when you consider that big Virg will no doubt be after a rise, and Joe's wages are only going to go up as soon as he cements himself as a first choice.

Fair play to Matip, he's played his part in our fantastic season more than Lovren has, which probably puts him as 3rd choice, it's just the financials that I have an issue with.


21.) 25 Apr 2019 14:07:56
I think right now, going by improvement shown and fitness consistency, I'd be more inclined to let Lovren go and maybe get a younger CB (not world class, but decent) to compete with Matip for 3rd and 4th place.

Joe and Virgil are our clear top pairing. Someone who can compete with Matip (and potentially improve
a little) would be good. Lovren earns a big wage which might be a bit too much now for a 4th choice CB that's injured quite a bit.

I mean, he did well with Croatia and LFC getting to the WC and CL finals, but it might be time for him to move on now for his own good too if he's dropped to 4th choice.


22.) 25 Apr 2019 14:24:24
Matip's done great these past few weeks, Klopp got him for nothing and obviously rates him.

I'd rather we ca$hed in on World Cup Finalist Lovren and spent that money on a tried and tested as backup to Gomez and Matip (if we can find one) or promote one of the yutes. Looks like you can put anyone next to VVD and he'll play well.

Gotta trust in Klopp, Shirley?


23.) 25 Apr 2019 15:06:21
By far the biggest issue I have with Matip is he’s a big lad, very tall, but he seems scared of the ball in the air. He loses far too many challenges in the air but also, if a ball is going over the top, he let's it bounce behind him!
That is the number 1 cardinal sin for a central defender. Never, ever, EVER let the ball bounce behind you! Matip must have missed that basic principle. It’s easily rectified and to be fair it’s a good few months since I’ve seen him do it, but it used to happen almost every game.
Other than that infuriating trait, he’s as good a back up as we’ve had for a while and it makes sense to keep him around 👍.


24.) 25 Apr 2019 17:31:41
Look im not a big fan of matip personally, but he's wearing our red liverbird upon his chest and I'l always support and back him when he does so and he does try his best but his ability is limited and it frustrates me that some overlook his match performances as a whole. He's a very weak link and has got away with a lot of incidents which could easily have had many fans calling for his head.

I know this is ifs and buts. but in about 4 weeks there were 4 clear incidents which he was very fortunate to get away with. Against United the offside flag saved his blushes as he swiped a clearance with his wrong leg into our goal. It was correctly offside but matip didn't know that and defended the situation poorly.
In the same week he attempted the exact same clearance with his wrong leg against bayern. The ball hit Allison's chest fortunately, no one spoke of this ever again, he was at fault vs Southampton goal then.
Against spurs his rash decision to lunge desperately at Kane on halfway line directly led to sissoko going 1v1. If he slots that in which he should then the title dream was probably vanished then.

Now I'm not bashing the guy completely I'm just pointing out moments which could have cost us dearly, they haven't though so he's been excused from criticism. He has performed slightly better lately but is always vulnerable in any moment. It's also clear to see how Trent has struggled much more with matip beside him. I know it's all ifs and buts. but he does make many errors which go unnoticed by many. If we win silverware this season he's earned his medals and has played his part but if we want a CB who may need to slot in for months at a time in the future then I feel matip needs upgrading. Feels harsh saying this as we're in a purple patch but the fact remains he is 8 or 9 times out of ten our weakest performer and most vulnerable.

Just clarifying I'm not bashing the fella, he's just not the standard of defender we should settle for as competition in a world class defence.


25.) 25 Apr 2019 17:21:43
Isn't it time Masterson stepped up 20yrs old now.

Oh and don't call me Shirley.

Was that airplane or naked gun?


26.) 25 Apr 2019 17:26:26
This move surprised me, because I expected Lovren to be cover to Virgil and Gomez next season. I'm fine with Matip though. Like a backup QB in the NFL, the plan isn't to go into the season with him as your primary option, but you also don't want your season derailed because he has to play for a stretch of games because someone is injured. I like Lovren more, but it may be a better use of resources to sell Lovren (and his contract) and go with Matip. Lovren is too good to sit in long stretches too, so maybe it's just time to move on so he can go get more playing time elsewhere.


27.) 25 Apr 2019 18:29:18
He hasn't been offered a contract yet and there has just been a mention of talks opening. He may well have the ambition to ask for playing guarantees (a beast that the Eds have said is a key element of a players contract nowadays) and I can't imagine a huge financial increase so he may look for sureties elsewhere and turn down a bit part role.


28.) 25 Apr 2019 23:33:00
If im not mistaken we have conceded just 20 Goals this season, less than any other team in the PL. Some of you need to get a grip. Matip has been a part of that and if you look at the stats when he has played I think you will all find that he is a valuable member of the squad not on a huge wage either and bought for peanuts. As a player that will never be first choice he is more valuable than you think.


29.) 26 Apr 2019 13:23:25
I'm pretty sure he is on a huge wage.


30.) 26 Apr 2019 13:31:03
I doubt any of our centre backs will look to leave this summer, realistically its their best chance of a prem title, assuming we don't win it this year.


31.) 26 Apr 2019 18:19:17
I'd assume the contract talks will involve a pay cut. You have to remember that he's on higher wages than normal due to him being signed on a free.


 

 

06 Aug 2018 13:25:08
Just wanted to know if any of the eds had the latest info regarding clyne
Surely he can't be staying here for another season but if he is I will support him as per usual but really hope he gets a move somewhere else as he really hurts us attacking wise when he plays.
Decent enough player but I think our style of play and tactics don't suit his strengths.

Johncrow Junior

{Ed001's Note - there has been little interest in him due to his injuries last season.}


1.) 06 Aug 2018 13:49:23
A bit late now to get a good right back in, I don't see him going anywhere. As poor as he is offensively, he's pretty good defensively and we need that more than his attacking attributes.


2.) 06 Aug 2018 14:19:37
personally I see Clyne as 2nd choice RB this season with Gomez being an option for CB. Matip will likely spend a lot of time injured so I reckon they'll be enough games for Gomez at CB and Clyne is decent enough to play a few cup games at RB.


3.) 06 Aug 2018 18:28:19
I agree, I don’t think he’s that bad as a second choice, as long as his hearts in it. Worst comes to worst and he plays a few games, he’s experienced and hopefully can hold his own defencively.


4.) 06 Aug 2018 19:23:37
There's been nothing wrong with him defensively so far, just his fitness. If is heart isn't in it, he won't get game time. Simple as.


5.) 06 Aug 2018 21:40:34
I don’t think he’s good enough as a back up RB, Trent is still young and will need to be rested now and again, that means your going to need to have to rely on Clyne for several games a season, I don’t think I have ever seen him have a good game for us, he would be the weak link and opponents will exploit that.


6.) 06 Aug 2018 22:24:14
Exactly mikey, he's not good enough for this level of football, or even close imo. Defensively he is terrible, Trent is a young lad and is already 10 x the player Clyne is. I'd put Fabinho, Milner or Gomex before Clyne.


7.) 06 Aug 2018 22:34:03
To say Clyne has never had a good game for us is rubbish. Yes there are better attacking full backs out there but I believe he has a big part to play this season. Trent has made the position his own but there
Aren’t many right backs out there better as a back up.

If u think there are then name them. The likes of Walker and Valencia are hugely overrated. Azpilaqeta (excuse spelling) is prob the best about but no chance of getting him.

At the end of the day we need squad players as well as starters to be successful, they can’t all be world beaters.


8.) 06 Aug 2018 23:21:37
You can easily name several better right backs from Liverpool alone.


9.) 07 Aug 2018 06:04:49
I like Clyne. Between him and Trent we have RB sorted.


10.) 07 Aug 2018 06:45:53
Go ahead then Mikey. and remember, Fabinio wAs bought as a midfielder, Milner has proven himself in midfield and only played left back for one season due to necessity.

TAA and Gomez who will spend more time at centre back this year.

Think.


11.) 07 Aug 2018 07:34:27
if Clyne plays a bad game, we’ll just have to score more goals 🤔.


12.) 07 Aug 2018 08:11:14
How long has Clyne been here now? And Klopp too?
If Klopp thought Clyne wasn't up to the job, he'd be gone.
Ask Balotelli.


13.) 07 Aug 2018 08:21:45
Problem is FTR who would want Clyne? that's why we're stuck with him mate lol.


14.) 07 Aug 2018 10:09:12
Try saying we're stuck with him if Trent Arnold gets injured or suspended.


15.) 07 Aug 2018 11:39:13
I will do mate because he still won't get a game, Milner or Gomez will be before him maybe even Fabinho.


16.) 07 Aug 2018 12:56:44
Don't see that happening at all. Clyne still has a role to play this season, he'll play more at right back than any other player except TTA. Providing he's not injured of course.


17.) 08 Aug 2018 04:13:00
Clyne and Camacho have played at RB. I don't think the other players will play there. Gomez hasn't been used much there lately so I think Klopp has moved him to his favoured CB position.

TAA and Clyne as second choice. That's the RB position for this season in my view according to preseason. Klopp has been playing everyone where he'll use them during the season I believe.


 

 

27 Jun 2018 17:35:52
Bobby Duncan signed for 200k
Gerrards cousin I think.

Johncrow Junior

1.) 27 Jun 2018 18:08:29
Welcome to Liverpool lad. Anybody actually seen him play, if so any good?


2.) 27 Jun 2018 18:14:39
He's 17.


3.) 27 Jun 2018 20:57:57
Only seen highlights of one game against Liverpools kids, Salah. He scored but it was as much bad goal keeping as a great finish. Don't remember anything else as it was over a year ago.


4.) 27 Jun 2018 21:14:50
Did he play for man city.


5.) 27 Jun 2018 21:23:13
Remember the last left footed striker from Liverpool a one Robbie Fowler a. k. a god, step forward bobby Duncan maybe an omen, I hope so!


6.) 27 Jun 2018 21:28:33
Folks calm down he's 17.


7.) 27 Jun 2018 22:23:47
Hahahaha I am just playing he is a kid with a lot too prove and his whole career in front of him, you don't get called god for nothing and Fowler stepped immediately up too the plate, if the talent is there lucky us and hopefully he fulfills his potential.


8.) 28 Jun 2018 11:58:49
He’s got big boots to fill for being the next bobby in Liverpool.


9.) 28 Jun 2018 16:17:09
Only English player to score a hat trick against Brazil at any level. At U17 level I believe.


10.) 28 Jun 2018 16:32:42
Bobby played in the same school team as my lad. He’s a fantastic finisher, who can score any type of goal.

Saw him last year or so for City against Cackpool (Blackpool) and he’s motivated solely by scoring goals, which is an obvious must for a striker!

Reminds me a little of Aguero, similar stature, huge thighs and truly deadly if you give him a chance!

Going forward, I don’t know if he suits our current way of playing, but I guess it’s up to him.

Hope he forces his way through!


11.) 28 Jun 2018 18:06:05
We should have signed Ricky Bobby instead

‘If you ain’t first, you’re last! ’.


12.) 30 Jun 2018 14:06:10
“Bobby Duncan signed for 200k
Gerrards cousin I think”

Seems consistent. They both went for 2 first names instead of a proper surname 🙄.


 

 

28 May 2018 23:30:41
I know we have been linked very hard with Fekir but a little birdy tells me it is Malcolm we really want
not sure how this will turn out but it is malcolm more then Fekir according to the little birdy
just passing it on lads.

Johncrow Junior

{Ed0333's Note - over to Ed’s 002


1.) 28 May 2018 23:42:04
Malcolm is a talented player.


2.) 29 May 2018 03:45:08
Malcom is a winger, Fekir a CAM. It will be both if Malcom is the winger Klopp wants, not one of the two.
The UCl final was a clear indication we need another wide player in case Salah or Mane cannot play and Fekir is a CAM that will bring more creativity to our workmanlike midfield.
Fabinho, Keita and Fekir! BOOM! Bet Harry will be the happiest LFC fan alive if that happens.


3.) 29 May 2018 05:34:27
Wait so what's going to happen to Hender (backpass) en, Mil (not that boring) ner and Gini?


4.) 29 May 2018 06:12:07
Regardless if any wife player coming in, if Fekir does come it would signal to me Klopp switching to a very attacking 4231 starting formation next year, with Fekir behind Bobby. This would leave Fabinho, Hendo, Wiji, Milner, Ox, Lallana and Keita vying for the remaining midfield positions, although Ox and Lallana could be cover/ rotation for Fekir I suppose. All opinion and guess work of course, but if true I would imagine at least 2 will leave.


5.) 29 May 2018 06:55:42
I hope we haven’t resorted to signing wives now 😲.


6.) 29 May 2018 07:20:45

you welcome Salah mate
it may turn out to be crap but thought I would share
albeit now Lemar seems to have come back into the frame as well according to Lequipe
So my little birdy looks like he may have given me duff info lol.


10.) 29 May 2018 12:50:19
Well for now we know we are looking for a coutinho replacement (Fekir, Lemar), cover wide (Dembele, Malcom, Lemar, Pulisic), Goalkeeper Cover (Navas, Butland) or First choice (Alisson) and Centerbacks cover (Tarkowski) .

klopp has said he is pleased with keita progress this season and hopefully we as fans will support this notion and the player
I saw some say it is wrong to hammer neco williams but are happy to constantly harp on about keita
if klopp supports him then why won't you?

Johncrow Junior

1.) 26 Sep 2020 15:00:15
But at the same time mate he's not going to turn around and say 'Keita is doing really bad'.


2.) 26 Sep 2020 15:02:08
Difference is that Neco is a youngster learning his way in the professional game who has come through the ranks, Naby is a seasoned pro by comparison who cost a lot of money and who makes zero effort and is more concerned with BS outside of the game. If he could pass a nightclub or a bit of skirt as well as he is able to pass a ball, he’d do a lot better for himself.


3.) 26 Sep 2020 15:22:48
Hi John. You raise a good point about players like Neco being hammered - he is at the beginning of his career and very much learning his trade, so he deserves plenty of leeway, and abusing him (or anyone else) on social media is completely unacceptable. Naby has had a long time since a very expensive move to start showing on a consistent basis why LFC paid so much money for him, and I have wanted him to succeed as much as anyone, but he just hasn't produced consistently, and comes across on the pitch as being timid and lacks the conviction to take the game by the scruff of the neck as expected for a £50m+ player. I just don't see Naby doing what we all thought he would do, hence the frustration with him. Nothing would please me more than to see him do it week in, week out, instead of the odd glimpse of his talent every now and then. The level of expectation with Naby is far greater than others based on the amount spent on him - perhaps he just isn't as good as we all expected. If Klopp picks him we should all be willing him on, but after 2 years how much longer do you wait for him to finally consistently produce the goods based on his high transfer fee? Let's hope he proves Klopp's judgement to be right.


4.) 26 Sep 2020 16:19:25
One rule for all though, god forbid anyone says anything critical of Hendo or Bobby on this site but with Keita its grand. The blokes being doing well since lockdown so ease up a bit. Popular opinion is "he doesn't do what he did at Liepzig"but when Gini doesn't do what he does for Holland its because"thats the way klopp wants his midfield to play". So come on people, try and support all the players not just the ones you like. And will people stop banging on about off field things as if they "know"the players, you don't so just stick to the football pitch.


5.) 26 Sep 2020 17:23:54
Jadon for me post of the year mate well said.


6.) 26 Sep 2020 17:29:50
Williams has only played 5 times and has already shown as much promise as keita. Keita is a big money signing.

When is he going to do something? He hasn't been good since the lockdown at all.

It's frustrating.

Gini actually tries to defend and plays with intensity, though. Keita does not.


8.) 26 Sep 2020 18:18:48
Has he been bad then Robbiesline? because if he's been bad I would love to hear what you think of d other midfielders performance since football started back up. Something tells me though their performances won't be judged as harshly.


9.) 26 Sep 2020 18:30:01
Just more bias toward keita but expected sadly
A few have not been great but are never mentioned.

{Ed001's Note - it is not bias, it is that he has never performed and so deserves to be criticised. The sad thing is people like you trying to make it a personal thing, rather than actually trying to see that he has been letting us all down with his half-arsed lazy, weak performances. If you want to support someone so cowardly he bottles out of challenges, go right ahead, but I expect my players to at the very least give their all.}


10.) 26 Sep 2020 18:54:41
In fairness I don't think anyone had to bottle out of a challenge in that league 15-20 years. At the end of the day everyone has their opinion but when fit, Klopp who is the best manager on the planet will start him more games than not so he can't be that bad.

{Ed001's Note - and I don't think he will, that is why he bought Thiago, because Keita failed to be that player.}


11.) 26 Sep 2020 19:00:50
Agreed Robbie. We have a full team out there who work their socks off almost every single game so when you see a player like Keita not working as hard as they could/ should, it's noticable and this has happeneded far too often now, he comes across as not giving a damn about the game. He's getting his big money now, which is all he's gone on about so he's happy. I can't support a player like that anymore. I was hoping for far too long that he'd change, he hasn't and more than likely won't.

People can say what they want about Bobby and Hendo, atleast they try their hardest every single game.


12.) 26 Sep 2020 19:09:59
Not really sure about the people like me comment but once again you have had a pop at me
so hopefully this post get through and it is not ignored
first up not sure how I made it about a personal thing I just said it is bias if enough people like you ED001 bleat on about how poor keita has been then sheep will follow along and say the same thing
my original post was that Klopp has come out and said he is happy so maybe we should support keita also
If a coach with the pedigree of klopp can say he sees progress then im happy to go with that.
Im not sure how many years of coaching you have done in the premier league but for now I will go along with klopps comments as he just has the edge over you.

{Ed001's Note - Klopp is saying what he has to say, he is not going to come out and tell the media that Keita has been crap is he? You are the sheep and have admitted so by saying you won't make up your own mind but will instead just listen to nonsense media soundbites and follow what is said in them. You are the one slagging everyone else off and making it all personal, why keep giving it out and then complaining about the replies you get? You started a thread to attack other fans, now you are whining because they are not all agreeing with you. What do you expect?}


13.) 26 Sep 2020 19:12:22
In fairness Thiago starts EVERY game in ANY team on the planet when fit. In any big game we play from now on it'll be Thiago, and two others. And I think keita will still get a fair few appearances in that circumstance. i think everyone is still working off the assumption Gini will be here come transfer window end. I hope he is but don't be surprised if he's not.

{Ed001's Note - everyone knows Klopp is happy to sell Gini, so no idea why that is relevant? Keita has already been shown up by Jones, if he does get games, it will be to the detriment of a player who actually wants to try for us.

I just don't get why you keep trying to drag other players into this? This is about Keita. It doesn't matter what other players have or haven't done. Keita has been poor, barely tried and spent most of his time injured.}


14.) 26 Sep 2020 19:53:36
ED001 THAT IS PATHETIC FROM YOU IM SORRY
everyone has the right to comment and give their opinion the problem with you is that you attack people when someone disagrees with you
keita has not been great agreed overall and needs to get his act together but to give up on him and call him a coward is not on imo
you have sheep like salah now saying he is happy he is getting money and that is all he goes on about
DOES SALAH KNOW HIM PERSONALLY IS HE WITH HIM 24/ 7
If someone can say he doesn't care 100 percent without actually knowing the player then they should go and buy a lottery ticket straight away
Im attacking no one on here btw but some of the comments towards him is beyond a joke now and go beyond football imo.

{Ed001's Note - don't worry I won't bother giving an opinion again. You have made sure I won't bother as you are the pathetic one, you constantly attack people and call them sheep. Yet you admit you are the sheep. Sad. You even start threads to attack people who have different opinions from you and then accuse others of attacking anyone who disagrees with them. Look in the mirror lad. You are obviously just not worth wasting my time on. Bye bye. My time on this site is over. The problem with precious people like you is that you can't abide anyone disagreeing with you and call that an attack on them. You accuse them of being sheep etc, but yes it is everyone else attacking poor little johnny junior! You are a hypocrite. No point anyone talking to someone who is so hypocritical, they don't have the sense to see that they bring it all on themselves.}


15.) 26 Sep 2020 20:34:00
Spot on, Ed01. Seriously, what are the Keita defenders on here, expecting Klopp to say? That he is crap? I mean, Lampard was asked about Kepa and if he would persist with him before we played Chelsea and he said the exact same thing, supporting Kepa even tho we all knew including Kepa, that his time was up and a new GK was more or less signed. The fact that E01 and others have to point this obvious reason out, is baffling to begin with.

As for those saying we are biased towards Keita, I will say that I (like many others) watched Keita play at RBL a tonne and he was bossing games for fun and was and still am a HUGE fan of his. I did not see him pull out of any challenges, being lazy tracking back and all the other stuff he is actually doing at LFC right now.

I was one of those supporting Keita until I started really watching him when Ed01 said in a podcast that he has been poor for us and then, I saw what he was saying. All I ask is that people watch Keita after he loses the ball or when we are are being counter-attacked and you will see what we are saying.


16.) 26 Sep 2020 21:40:19
Red Meister you have managed to give an opinion about kieta without resulting to insulting the lad and calling him a coward maybe you should be an Ed
Nah seriously I don’t attack people on here and maybe owe an apology if I have
Buti do feel that keita is singled out
I feel the stop start injuries have not helped him and I think we all expected better from him
I think he will prove a lot on here wrong and if he doesn’t then I will hold my hand up and say I was wrong
But calling someone a coward not my style and never will be
Ed001 should not of called your opinion pathetic and I apologise for that I will leave this site as it is great and I don’t want you to stop doing what you do and being who you are which is a great writer and someone who makes someone like me understand football tactically a lot more then I did before
So no hard feelings and I’m sorry for upsetting you tonight.

{Ed001's Note - you have not upset me, I have no problem with you having a different opinion from me or thinking my opinion is wrong at all. My problem is that I can't give an opinion because anyone who agrees with me is then just called a sheep by anyone who disagrees, rather than people explaining why they disagree. It becomes an easy get out and is not conducive to debate. So it is best I keep my opinions to just articles and reviews. It is not just you, it has been a regular recurring theme on the site since it started. I very rarely bother to comment these days anyway, as I have little time. I read through thousands of posts a day for the sites and, unless asked directly, I comment on maybe 1 every couple of days. So it won't change much if I just stay out of things. I can express my opinion in the articles just as easily, particularly match reviews, so there is no need for me to join in the conversation. Then no one can accuse anyone of just following whatever I say and can actually start explaining why they disagree.}


17.) 26 Sep 2020 23:54:09
I've learnt more about football in the years I've been on this site than the previous 50 easy,001 for tactics and playing and 002 for the grown up stuff. First stop every morning.


18.) 27 Sep 2020 03:25:06
lol 'you have sheep like salah' I never had you down as the type to be a gobsh*te John, shame really. You act like you aren't a sheep yet copy off what a small minority (about 3 people) have already said in the past hahaha. I don't think you have realised how silly you have come across mate but we live and learn don't we?

'Im attacking no one on here btw' You call me a sheep but you aren't attacking anybody on here. How silly are you? re read your comments before posting them lad because you have made yourself look pretty damn daft. Stop pointing the finger and take a good look at yourself, you may learn a thing or two.

I hold nothing against you, I mean that, it's bugger all to me, just words on the internet but try and be a little more wise next time.

Finally for the record, I do agree with a lot of what Ed1 says, why? because he's a bloody football genius and it's as simple as that but I haven't agreed with EVERYTHING he has said, who can? I just appreciate his opinion on things and take it on board what he has to say because he knows a ton more than I or anybody on here will ever know about football. Tell me, am I wrong? .

Ed1, I do hope you reconsider and we see posts from you still, you are by far THE most interesting fella in sport on the internet that I have come across and we appreciate your input. Second to none mate.


19.) 27 Sep 2020 07:01:32
Personally I'm still backing keita because we know he has the ability and klopp seems eager to get it out of him. Yes he has been a frustration for 2 seasons but I'l believe in him to get going right until the moment I see that our manager no longer wants to play him.


There is one thing that bothered me from the post above and it is that some posters write up a bit of info about a players personal life as if it's factual when it's actually incorrect nonsense.

6times you criticised keita as a football player while suggesting his careless wild party lifetyle has led him to not giving a toss about liverpool.

Most people who read that will then form an added negative to bash keita with when it's 100% crap. You are aware that he's a devout Muslim and is definately not suffering from any party lifestyle that you hint is the reason behind his slow start.

Its ok if you dislike him but it seems like your trying to force everybody else to turn against him too by speaking negatively of his character that's completely made up when the only thing we should be debating is the football reasons. AOC is a more likeable guy so we never see his personal information being questioned despite spending as much time as keita disappointing in nearly 2 full seasons excluding his year out injured. Carragher spitting at people, Gerrard drunken assaults, firmino drink driving never come up in conversation about their ability or achievements despite actually being true.

It's like how so many people bring up the fact that Gareth bale plays a round of golf regularly in his own time as if that's any sort of negative reflection that people seem to believe affects his career. Every player spends a few hours each day doing a bit of work at the training base and the rest of the afternoon and evening they need to be human beings. The likes of Spanish media never liked him as he never fitted in so created an idea that bale was choosing golf over football. I very much doubt he was skipping club involvement specifically to play golf. Michael Jordan the greatest man alive to dedicate and push himself to sporting success played 36 holes every day, 2 rounds of golf but if bale isn't settled at his club it must be whatever he does in his private life to blame. I'd much rather that a player on my team is spending a couple of hours walking about and keeping his brain working competitively playing golf instead of most of the younger lads now sitting down infront of the PlayStation for hours where they don't receive attention from the public view to pick faults from.

{Ed001's Note - this isn't my opinion, so I will say this, Bale's career was negatively impacted by playing golf against medical advice while injured. That is fact, it is why he is so disliked by the Spanish media, who did not create the idea, it is simply what he did. When he should have been doing rehab work or resting, he was out on his private golf course instead. There was no agenda against him at all. It is utterly unrelated to what Michael Jordan did or does and that is a bizarre comparison. They play completely different sports requiring completely different types of body movements, it is not comparable at all.}


20.) 27 Sep 2020 08:41:28
I didn't realise there was an injury problem involved actually, it's funny that I've heard so many different mentions of his golf being an issue but never heard anyone elaborate to what you've cleared up which would obviously make far more sense to what I thought was just a nothing story being dramatized.

The Jordan comparison obviously is unrelated now that I know it was never just a case of people upset that he spent so much time on a hobby. If he was medically advised by his club who pay him ridiculous wages to stop then he is certainly in the wrong.

Would clubs ever have grounds to terminate a players contract if he actively ignored an instruction and his actions led to longer unavailability. They must have an element of power over the players in situations like that.

{Ed001's Note - I thought it was well known that was why Madrid were so unhappy with him playing golf, I didn't realise it wasn't mentioned as the issue regarding his golfing. Strange as him just playing golf would never have been an issue with the club as most of his teammates are keen golfers too, so you would think anyone reporting it would explain why it was an issue.

They could terminate a contract if he actively ignored medical advice and it can be proven it caused unavailability. However it would mean they would have to pay up his contract, in essence buy him off. No club wants to do that often and it is only in extreme cases involving a player who fails to contribute or who has reduced any potential transfer (plus marketing) income to nothing. For instance when Chelsea fired Adrian Mutu due to failing a drugs test, they had to go through a long and expensive court battle over it, even though Mutu was clearly in breach of contract. Footballers get a little too much protection these days.}

Ed001 just want your opinion on if you had to sell one would you have sold Neco Williams or the lad wolves just bought from us.

Johncrow Junior

{Ed001's Note - how can you make a choice without knowing whether there was interest in both and if so from who and for how much? It might have been a case of not getting Jota without letting them have Hoever. Transfers aren't always as simple as saying A over B.}


1.) 20 Sep 2020 16:41:03
Just wanted you opinion on who maybe you thought was the best long term prospect etc
But no worries cheers anyway.

Been flooded with messages teasing me saying we have signed borini mark 2 from wolves
Please tell me he is better then that.

Johncrow Junior

1.) 19 Sep 2020 08:02:31
Do you not have any faith at all in Klopp?


2.) 19 Sep 2020 08:02:42
JJ I love the banter with rival fans mate but trust me they will be saying this through gritted teeth. Jota isn’t going to displace Mo or Mane but he is a fantastic back up to them from the bench and allows them to rest and not have to start every game. I also see Mo starting games through the middle now with Jota starting on either wing with Mane. I still give UTD lads digs over Fernandes only being able to take pens when really he is a fantastic player. It’s all part and parcel of the game mate.


3.) 19 Sep 2020 08:19:07
I think Jota is a long term replacement for either mane or salah, he is only 23 and while inconsistent there is definitely a player In there. Getting him in before they leave allows him to adjust to Klopps methods and we don’t pay the replacement tax (overpaying when clubs know you have received big money, Carroll for instance) . I Think this is a great move.


4.) 19 Sep 2020 08:31:57
Can he play number 9?


5.) 19 Sep 2020 09:23:59
He’s far better than that, really good winger, can beat a man with skill and pace, knows where the goal is and has good technique. Clever signing if you ask me.


6.) 19 Sep 2020 09:43:12
OP, Borini is now playing RB at AC Milan or was for a moment there so the comparison does not even begin to reach the level of the utmost ridiculousness.

As for Jota, he is a brillian player on his day. Pace, power, dribbling and finishing ability. The isuue is that he is inconsistent and a bit rough around the edges, something Klopp thinks he can fix and if he can do that, we have a DAMN good player on our hands.

Will he be able to replace or displace Salah or Mane right now? I don't think so. IMO, were either Salah or Mane to leave next summer, LFC will sign another top class talent to replace either of these guys cos Jota won't be good enuff yet by next season, IMO.

Hope this is not a silly question but how do you feel shankly and paisley would of feared with managing in this generation
With pep and klopp and different types like mourinho about
Interested in your opinions please mate
Cheers
Sorry that was to edd 001.

Johncrow Junior

{Ed001's Note - difficult to know, but you would expect them to adapt as that is why they were the best. They were always improving and, particularly Paisley, were ten years ahead of their time tactically and in terms of coaching methods.}


1.) 08 Sep 2020 11:07:29
Do you think the 442 still would have been used by them or maybe another formation?
Really appreciate the feedback by the way thank you.

{Ed001's Note - I think it would depend. Paisley mostly used 4-4-1-1/4-4-2, which would switch between 4-3-3 and 4-5-1 during play anyway. His formation was extremely fluid, so I think he could well have done so. It is not far off the way we are looking to play with Minamino behind Bobby to be honest. It was very much about great players being able to adapt to the situation as it unfolded, so it would probably depend on the players he had available to him. I don't think the formation is actually all that important really, other than for defensive purposes, in the modern game. Too many people get hung up on them, when they are only really relevant below the top teams.

If you look at Man City for instance, Pep will use, on the face of it, a fairly standard formation, but then he will give different instructions for different opposition. So in one game they will defend as a 4-5-1, but going forward the full-backs will often move inside to become the holding midfielders, rather than play wide, to free up the likes of de Bruyne and Silva to play with more freedom all over the pitch. With our lads, you will often see Mane pop up on the right or Bobby overlap him on the left or the three just swap around. The formations are not set in stone.}


2.) 08 Sep 2020 11:45:56
And there is why this site is the best bar none
The answer I just received is just superb
I fully understand now mate cheers
Thank you for taking the time to Educate me
I will take this away and now put some Man U fans in their place at work lol.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate.}


3.) 08 Sep 2020 12:12:11
Excellent response Ed - both City and Liverpool have played 4-3-3 on the face of it, but in completely different ways.

{Ed001's Note - I was actually in the middle of working on the next in the series of articles on tictacs about a 4-3-3 and Pep's use of it, so it was good timing. I will have to hurry up and finish it.}


4.) 08 Sep 2020 13:33:55
Ed do you see minamino becoming a permanent fixture in the team this season?

{Ed001's Note - I don't think anyone will do that this season, the games are packed tighter together so there will be an increased need for rotation. Plus there are likely to be times when players have to self-isolate etc.}


5.) 08 Sep 2020 14:04:22
You're one interesting character ed1, bloody love the way you see things.

{Ed001's Note - usually when someone uses the word interesting, it just means they are too nice to call you weird! ;-)


6.) 08 Sep 2020 14:34:52
It’ll be an interesting article

I think rather than formation, it’s better to think in terms of
1) who provides the creativity and the assists (city = midfielders De Bruyne/ Silva, Liverpool = Firmino + fullbacks)
2) who attacks the box (city = mostly Aguero/ Jesus, Liverpool = mostly Mane and Salah)
3) who provides the width (City = wingers, Liverpool = fullbacks)
4) who provides cover in case of losing possession (City = CDM + fullbacks, Liverpool = CDM + midfielders)

Contrasting the two 4-3-3 systems is like chalk and cheese! Main difference is perhaps that we had the better CBs and our midfielders provided more cover against potential counterattack than City’s FBs.


7.) 08 Sep 2020 18:47:51
I thought the way they used de bruyne and foden to negate Trent and robbo in the last time we played was impressive. They cut off the supply lines well, something we may see others try this season.


8.) 09 Sep 2020 08:37:22
Well Ed, i mean weird is quite fitting for you ;) I was just trying to say it in the nicest possible way. Lol.

How's it going mate, you well? How's Dubai life these days with all this bs going on? I haven't heard much about Dubai throughout all of this so I can only assume it's not that bad over there?

{Ed001's Note - it was named as the safest place in the world at one point, so no, not really that bad, but people often wear masks here anyway so it has not been that difficult to get the vast majority to do so now. Other than that, it is just a bit difficult financially, though hopefully it will sort itself out before I run out of people to borrow money from!

How about you? How are things there? Have you all coped ok?}


9.) 10 Sep 2020 10:39:18
Well that explains why I never hear anything about your end Ed mate, good news that it isn't bad over there, whens the next flight out of here? Haha.

Yeah all sound here mate, where I am we really haven't had it that bad to be honest. I know nobody who's had the virus, I know a few who have had a cold and got paranoid about it lol naturally but nah, can't moan mate to be fair, it could be worse I suppose. All I want to see is everything back to bloody normal but what's normal nowadays?

I feel your pain mate in regards to financial difficulties, my income never changed because we worked throughout but it's been one hell of an expensive year. I don't like going from being comfortable to not so comfortable you know? But it'll work out, things always do :) .

Stay safe my friend.

{Ed001's Note - why has it been expensive? If it is ok to ask. Little really changes here as during the summer people only go out at night anyway, so everything is set up for people to stay indoors all door, such as food delivery etc. In fact some of the food you can get takeaway/delivered/eat out is cheaper than you could make it at home here, so you lose nothing really by being indoors other than overworking the AC. Luckily my AC is part of the rent, so it doesn't matter if I hammer it or leave it switched off all the time, it costs the same.}


10.) 10 Sep 2020 14:02:17
So the ac Ed (understand I have no idea about it) if it weren't involved in your rent, I can only imagine it'd cost an absolute fortune?

The divorce kind of buggered me up mate, she got pretty much everything, she has the kids so you have to do what you have to do, you know? I left the house with my gear and my pc, that's it. But in the end the way I look at it is, do I regret it? Do I hell. I'm in a happy place and that's what matters to me. It just set me back a bit but we always bounce back mate :) .

6.) 07 Sep 2020 12:40:43
Never really liked Jamie as a commentator and more so a pundit. I am not sure Punditry requires one to make sweeping comments without an ounce of logic. And to cut him a little slack, most Pundits probably do the same. Often times, there analysis is based on a very small sample size and robustness is not something they excel on or understand, in my opinion.


7.) 07 Sep 2020 13:08:39
yeah I don't like Cara as a pundit or commentator to be fair him and Neville are like Hale and Pace of Pundits awful pair. Is there any good ones out there I can't think of any good pundits. any body name any good ones reds and eds?


8.) 07 Sep 2020 14:07:35
They have to say what they have to say mate, I wouldn't look too much much into it and to be fair if he is being real then who gives a damn? His opinion is irrelevant.

Have you ever heard Micah Richards? He is on Michael owen level, Richard's doesn't have a clue.

11.) 07 Sep 2020 15:19:13
I read Richards' analysis once in BBC. Wow! (sarcasm)


12.) 07 Sep 2020 15:27:46
Yeah Micah Richards has transferred seamlessly from player to pundit, he hadn’t a clue what he was supposed to be doing on a football pitch and he’s the same as a pundit.


13.) 07 Sep 2020 18:59:56
Everyone knows that Carra is a LFC fan. I think that in order to make people believe he is being fair he goes too far at times in almost promoting an anti-LFC or pro-opposition argument. I don't think he makes a good co-commentator, particularly alongside Martin Tyler, who I find intensely irritating in his general lack of enthusiasm towards Liverpool. Carra should stay in the studio as a Liverpool pundit, nothing to be ashamed of in supporting your own team and nailing your colours to the mast, as Gary Neville does with Man Utd.


14.) 07 Sep 2020 19:03:47
Why are people all bent outta shape about punditry in England? Ever heard of the expression called, "If it bleeds? It leads"? Come on, guys.

We all know how it works for the most part. They are told what to say. who to go after and how to stir controversy in order to get those clicks and get people to go on their employers' website. They stoke these flames to get clicks on SM and all that.

Also, a lot of these pundits don't even watch football, you know? Us fans watch way more football than these "experts" do hence when they talk rubbish, you are easily able to debunk and challenge them. Carra is doing what he is told to do so why bother?


15.) 07 Sep 2020 20:30:48
I love carra and G. Neville. Never thought I would like Neville ( always hated him to be honest) must be going soft.

When fit on and fire
Dembele is class
If klopp could get hold of him and sort out his lack of maturity and focus we would have one of the best players potentially in the world on our hands.

You have to respect the thoughts of all fans
Don’t ridicule these types of fans educate them on why it is probably best not to have these types of players coming back to our wonderful club.

Red Meister you have managed to give an opinion about kieta without resulting to insulting the lad and calling him a coward maybe you should be an Ed
Nah seriously I don’t attack people on here and maybe owe an apology if I have
Buti do feel that keita is singled out
I feel the stop start injuries have not helped him and I think we all expected better from him
I think he will prove a lot on here wrong and if he doesn’t then I will hold my hand up and say I was wrong
But calling someone a coward not my style and never will be
Ed001 should not of called your opinion pathetic and I apologise for that I will leave this site as it is great and I don’t want you to stop doing what you do and being who you are which is a great writer and someone who makes someone like me understand football tactically a lot more then I did before
So no hard feelings and I’m sorry for upsetting you tonight.

Johncrow Junior

{Ed001's Note - you have not upset me, I have no problem with you having a different opinion from me or thinking my opinion is wrong at all. My problem is that I can't give an opinion because anyone who agrees with me is then just called a sheep by anyone who disagrees, rather than people explaining why they disagree. It becomes an easy get out and is not conducive to debate. So it is best I keep my opinions to just articles and reviews. It is not just you, it has been a regular recurring theme on the site since it started. I very rarely bother to comment these days anyway, as I have little time. I read through thousands of posts a day for the sites and, unless asked directly, I comment on maybe 1 every couple of days. So it won't change much if I just stay out of things. I can express my opinion in the articles just as easily, particularly match reviews, so there is no need for me to join in the conversation. Then no one can accuse anyone of just following whatever I say and can actually start explaining why they disagree.}

ED001 THAT IS PATHETIC FROM YOU IM SORRY
everyone has the right to comment and give their opinion the problem with you is that you attack people when someone disagrees with you
keita has not been great agreed overall and needs to get his act together but to give up on him and call him a coward is not on imo
you have sheep like salah now saying he is happy he is getting money and that is all he goes on about
DOES SALAH KNOW HIM PERSONALLY IS HE WITH HIM 24/ 7
If someone can say he doesn't care 100 percent without actually knowing the player then they should go and buy a lottery ticket straight away
Im attacking no one on here btw but some of the comments towards him is beyond a joke now and go beyond football imo.

Johncrow Junior

{Ed001's Note - don't worry I won't bother giving an opinion again. You have made sure I won't bother as you are the pathetic one, you constantly attack people and call them sheep. Yet you admit you are the sheep. Sad. You even start threads to attack people who have different opinions from you and then accuse others of attacking anyone who disagrees with them. Look in the mirror lad. You are obviously just not worth wasting my time on. Bye bye. My time on this site is over. The problem with precious people like you is that you can't abide anyone disagreeing with you and call that an attack on them. You accuse them of being sheep etc, but yes it is everyone else attacking poor little johnny junior! You are a hypocrite. No point anyone talking to someone who is so hypocritical, they don't have the sense to see that they bring it all on themselves.}

for me I don't see lampard lasting the season as manager
just another example of a former top player getting a top job because of who he is and not what he has actually achieved in the game coaching wise
lest not forget he actually failed at derby
whilst a manager like scott parker achieved.

Not really sure about the people like me comment but once again you have had a pop at me
so hopefully this post get through and it is not ignored
first up not sure how I made it about a personal thing I just said it is bias if enough people like you ED001 bleat on about how poor keita has been then sheep will follow along and say the same thing
my original post was that Klopp has come out and said he is happy so maybe we should support keita also
If a coach with the pedigree of klopp can say he sees progress then im happy to go with that.
Im not sure how many years of coaching you have done in the premier league but for now I will go along with klopps comments as he just has the edge over you.

Johncrow Junior

{Ed001's Note - Klopp is saying what he has to say, he is not going to come out and tell the media that Keita has been crap is he? You are the sheep and have admitted so by saying you won't make up your own mind but will instead just listen to nonsense media soundbites and follow what is said in them. You are the one slagging everyone else off and making it all personal, why keep giving it out and then complaining about the replies you get? You started a thread to attack other fans, now you are whining because they are not all agreeing with you. What do you expect?}

Just more bias toward keita but expected sadly
A few have not been great but are never mentioned.

Johncrow Junior

{Ed001's Note - it is not bias, it is that he has never performed and so deserves to be criticised. The sad thing is people like you trying to make it a personal thing, rather than actually trying to see that he has been letting us all down with his half-arsed lazy, weak performances. If you want to support someone so cowardly he bottles out of challenges, go right ahead, but I expect my players to at the very least give their all.}
