I'm reading that Nunez has pulled out of the Uruguay squad with a reported hamstring injury, and also Diaz has a similar problem.

Hope neither is true, but that is what I have read.

Anyone else heard anything?

KBL

I wish he would go with Uruguay. Put him in the shop window.


2.) 19 Mar 2024 05:14:27
What you been smoking Ron?


 

 

13 Jun 2022 07:19:10
Benfica have announced to the relevant authorities in Portugal (a legal requirement) the agreement to sell Nunez to LFC.

So it is done subject to the medical.

KBL

1.) 13 Jun 2022 07:52:57
I still won't believe it's done until he s played three seasons with us.


2.) 13 Jun 2022 09:00:03
And don't forget the Liverpool lean?.


3.) 13 Jun 2022 13:05:36
He's faster than Torres according to his stats. I mean not many have been faster than Torres. He's going to be lightning fast.

{Ed077's Note - what stats? Is there even stats(video games withstanding) out there of acceleration/burst of pace?

We're offloading players to balance the Konate fee.

I really don't see any other first team ready players coming in during this window.

We all know how FSG work.

You never know Keita ight surprise is all this season as he should get more game time with Gini gone - if he can stay fit.

KBL

1.) 08 Aug 2021 12:14:12
Keita? 2 hopes there Bob and no! ’.


2.) 08 Aug 2021 12:21:10
FSG seemed to work quite well with Alison and VVD both of who cost world record fees for their positions when bought.


3.) 08 Aug 2021 12:19:50
When Keita is fit Klopp often plays him, he is just not fit often enough. How do FSG work? Last year they bought 3 players, 2 first teamers. This year they bought Konate of course they will buy another player if Klopp wants one or two.


4.) 08 Aug 2021 12:29:22
Another season of the comedy “football” stylings of Naby Keita, sigh. Hopefully the Penny will drop within the club that he’s utterly hopeless and be sold next summer after another disappointing season. £50m down the khazi.


5.) 08 Aug 2021 12:41:15
Slop slating our best player on form.


6.) 08 Aug 2021 12:50:34
No he’s absolutely spot on. Keita is not good enough and has been nothing but a waste of time and money. Also, even when on form he’s not even close to our best player.


7.) 08 Aug 2021 13:00:32
West Derby Wanderer, you do realise that Coutinho’s fee paid for Allison and VVD.


8.) 08 Aug 2021 13:01:05
Has been in every game recently.


9.) 08 Aug 2021 13:39:43
I'm going to get behind the lad - if it wasn't for his injury record he'd be a far better player than Wijnaldum by now. Hopefully he can avoid any more lay-offs, and fulfil the potential we saw before he signed.


10.) 08 Aug 2021 13:50:57
IPC12 - you took the words right out of my mouth there!

WDW obviously doesn't realise that fact.

Markp08 - let's just wait and see. What I posted above is my opinion of course, and I could be wrong. 3 weeks to go to see if I am or not.


11.) 08 Aug 2021 14:17:32
Our form player it’s embarrassing to even hear or see people say that! Friendly games they mean Notting mix b match team against the same!
Keita is a klopp dud buy as 02 has said klopped cried for him and he got him he will stick by him too most disbelief!
That lad needs a solid boot in the hole!


12.) 08 Aug 2021 14:29:21
Kieta hasn’t been on form since he signed for us. He got his big move and big pay cheque and went straight into semi retirement.


13.) 08 Aug 2021 15:12:22
He’s a liverpool player who represents the club. Maybe afford him and the manager and the club a little respect! Fans? You give us a bad name. Sometimes things don’t work out as we all hope they would. That doesn’t mean you should turn into an arsehole because it’s hasn’t gone to plan. Fan = supported not some childish boo boy who knows f all about f all.


14.) 08 Aug 2021 15:28:43
We can’t sell Keita because no one will buy him but let’s keep abusing him, that’ll make him play better.


15.) 08 Aug 2021 15:54:24
I know Keita had a torrid time with injures and never really lived up to his true potential with us. While I'm fine if he's sold, but if he's not, let's hope he finally comes good. At the rate that we're signing players this season, we really need the existing players to step up. Rant all we want, if you love Liverpool, stand behind the team. Otherwise, you're free to support PSG or City.


16.) 08 Aug 2021 16:14:01
Posters like IPC12 and KBL amuse me. Do they think that the acquisition and decision to sell Coutinho was nothing to do with the club's management.


17.) 08 Aug 2021 16:18:34
Well said DAPred.


18.) 08 Aug 2021 17:16:45
You lot are embarrassing. constantly slagging off players and the owners. Really tiresome reading it all. Its called support for a reason and you lot clearly ain't supporters.


19.) 08 Aug 2021 17:17:54
Redman and thunderbird. well said, the others are a joke.


20.) 08 Aug 2021 18:00:49
Aye, its embarrassing all right. Its like nearly willing him to fail just so some can be proved right. Weird!
Its a week until the season starts, if he stays then support. He certainly won't get any better ridiculing him.


21.) 08 Aug 2021 19:18:22
We’re in year four of the Naby Keita project and he’s shown nothing in competitive matches in the previous years to suggest he’s got what it takes. It baffles me how people can be so gushing in praise and effusive of someone who has never put even a minute fraction of the hard work and effort that Gini Wijnaldum did and yet Gini used to come in for a lot of grief. If Keita left tomorrow, the club would not miss him, however I can be sure that Gini will be missed as he was reliable, always match fit and put a shift in, all things that Naby has never done.


22.) 08 Aug 2021 19:37:42
Supporters.


23.) 08 Aug 2021 20:11:25
Red planet? What are you talking about? You sell a player, you reinvest… isn’t that what a logical team does?


24.) 08 Aug 2021 20:30:02
IPC12 and KBL. In the 2 transfer windows we purchased VVD and Allison 'with the Coutinho money', we also purchased Keita, Fabinho and Shaq.
With other sales, we actually spent £70ish net, taking into account the Coutinho fee.


25.) 08 Aug 2021 20:43:30
Just wondering how FSG work - enlighten me.


26.) 08 Aug 2021 21:28:12
IPC12 I understand that outgoings at least notionally help balance the books and fund incomings yes.

I also understand - at a basic level at least, having sat at the back of the class when we did maths at school - that FSG invest in assets when they see an asset adding to the value of the club. I also understand that some assets are purchased based on the forecast return from future revenue streams. Over the past 18 months one of the revenue streams has been severely impacted, and as of now continues to be so. So, we don’t have enough money, or certainty of sufficient future match day revenue at the moment to ‘splash the cash’. Even if we did we are also stuck because of the issue of home grown / non-home grown players. Can’t say too much about this because I dropped geography before o-levels but I think it has something to do with coming from Widnes or further away.

I think though, given FSG being a company that is keen to make a profit on their assests and with the proof of the caliber of players they have brought into the club, the state of the art training complex they have built and the upgrades to the ground which will see us with a 67,000 capacity (and more income for us to all play wannabe Premier Manager each transfer window) that they deserve a bit more respect than they sometimes get on these crass threads that people start because we haven’t bought the latest name that some hack with no knowledge thinks up.

Anyway on we go - I read a bit earlier that we are thinking of bidding for some 34 year old Argentinian who is a feee agent …….


27.) 08 Aug 2021 21:47:04
Don’t buy a Porsche if you can’t afford the petrol, John. If someone somewhere could really clarify how one of the most historical clubs, biggest names and very recently super successful with many record breaking sponsorship deals do not have a pot to p. in?


28.) 08 Aug 2021 23:08:46
They do have a pot to pee in. But it sprung a few leaks.


29.) 09 Aug 2021 00:48:16
I did this management course a few years back and they were banging on about data leading to information leading to knowledge leading to wisdom and one of the things they covered in passing was a little thing about knowledge :

There are things you know that you know, for example, your name, address, date of birth.

There are things you know that you don’t know, for example how Margaret Thatcher got elected

There are things that you don’t know that you don’t know, for example as a football fan how the finances of an international brand Premier League football club works ….


30.) 09 Aug 2021 07:00:17
More hopeful and excited for Kieta staying jnjury free and kicking on this season tha I am about new signings.


 

 

31 Jul 2021 09:48:35
No more incomings for us this year I'm afraid.

KBL

1.) 31 Jul 2021 09:52:26
Will this nonsense stop?


2.) 31 Jul 2021 13:07:14
There was a fella the other day saying there would be bids for Bissouma, Bowen and someone else ‘in a few days …… I love the transfer window.


 

 

19 Feb 2021 12:25:59
Alisson out tomorrow - and Kelleher injured too!

KBL

1.) 19 Feb 2021 13:11:55
Klopp just confirmed he's fine.


2.) 19 Feb 2021 13:19:27
Klopp just said Alisson is fine.

KBL, do you have your info from a reliable source, or is it from a site that saw he missed training yesterday (as is being widely reported)?


3.) 19 Feb 2021 13:21:43
Bum steer there people - Klopp's just said Ali's fine. My bad. Twitter twaddle again.


4.) 19 Feb 2021 13:29:18
Just because they weren't seen in the training photos? Chill out with the histrionics please.


5.) 19 Feb 2021 16:23:09
Nothing to do with training pictures JM - I had several messages from normally reliable sources.

I've suitably reprimanded the culprits though.


6.) 19 Feb 2021 16:40:12
Usual story, see a story on Twatter and of course it must be true.
Even though most folks know about Twatter by now, it never ceases to amaze me how many read this sort of crap and instantly swallow the bait.


7.) 19 Feb 2021 17:05:46
Don't be so harsh on KBL this is a rumours site! KBL you owe me wireless mouse that I threw across the room after reading your post mate.


8.) 19 Feb 2021 18:06:54
In fairness to KBL, nearly every rumour of injuries on twitter this season have turned out to be true. Usually its 99% rubbish, but all the rubbish ones seem to be true. Thank god its rubbish this time.


9.) 20 Feb 2021 12:41:05
Hey FlashTheRed - I'm not even on Twitter, and I still got it wrong.

MMR - love it. Just the kind of thing I do.

Just listened to Klopp's pre match Presser, and I don't think Konate will play on Sunday. He said they are waiting for scan results.

KBL

1.) 08 Mar 2024 16:37:22
Quansah or Gomez?

Gomez hasn’t played a lot at centre half this season but is young Quansah now ahead of him.

I think the team will be Kelleher, Bradley, Vvd, Gomez, Robbo, Endo, Szob, Mac, Salah, Nunez and Diaz.

Elliot and Gakpo the senior players on the bench then.


2.) 08 Mar 2024 16:58:10
And if the scan results say he's fine? they were always going to have a scan i would have thought.


3.) 08 Mar 2024 17:39:35
I think it will be Quansah with Gomez on the bench as cover for multiple positions.


4.) 08 Mar 2024 19:06:10
@OP, I think if Konate was out he would have said so - he tends to tell it like it is based on what he is told by the medical team. Not saying Konate will play just that it was unknown if he’d be fit or not at the time of the press conference.


5.) 08 Mar 2024 19:56:01
My issue I thought Robbo was lacking last night and I like the balance that Gomez at LB brings. So Bradley at RB and Gomez at LB for me but that means Quansah has to play CB and that is asking quite a lot of the lad so really hoping Konate is fit.


6.) 08 Mar 2024 19:32:26
I think if Konate is injured it will be Gomez at RB and Quansah at CB. You can't play two younguns on the same side of the backline against City.


7.) 08 Mar 2024 19:41:22
I'd go Gomez CB myself but I'll back Quansah if that's the choice.


8.) 08 Mar 2024 23:04:19
IronDan - I agree with you about Robbo. I thought he had a very poor game against Sparta, but I also think he should play against City on Sunday.

Gomez had played well at left back, but he isn't a natural fit there.

Whoever is selected will have a tough time against them, and I just have a feeling that we will not be good enough to take the points this time.

This is a game we need ALL our top players in I feel. Unfortunately, that won't be the case.


9.) 09 Mar 2024 02:32:09
It doesn't matter who we have on, the lads are too focused, bring City on. We'll get the job done, I have no doubts about it. I'd take a draw to be honest but I believe 100% we'll get the win.


10.) 09 Mar 2024 07:19:47
I'm sill waiting for the implosion, wheels to fall off and mid table mediocrity.


11.) 09 Mar 2024 09:40:06
Robbo has been poor for 2 seasons, yeh he's an energiser bunny. But I believe he gets caught out of position to often. He's doing the Hendo 5 yard passing to the side and backwards in his own half, but when he plays it forward it gets cut out, his crosses really beat the first man anymore and his shooting, well he may as well not bother and stick to making a 5 yard pass.


12.) 09 Mar 2024 16:05:23
His 18. assists in the last 2 seasons would suggest otherwise.


13.) 09 Mar 2024 18:59:39
Facts are unimportant @TIR. Uninformed opinion is all that counts in this glorious age of modern ‘Social Media’.


14.) 09 Mar 2024 20:36:30
He Had 8 assist last season and 1 this season. That's 9 when I went to school. So my opinion is backed by facts. I have also noticed we kept 7 clean sheets in 11 games he missed compared to 2 clean sheets in the 14 he started. If you don't agree that he as dropped off the last 2 seasons fine. You don't have to agree with me.


15.) 09 Mar 2024 22:50:58
To be fair, if Robbo was playing on his own the goals conceded could be put down to him. Is it a fact he was the only player we had on the pitch? There’s a bit of a gap between fact and statistic as well fact and opinion.


16.) 10 Mar 2024 02:39:51
Itstrue, you're speaking utter nonsense if you can't see that lads quality. Pull your head out of your backside please mate, maybe you'll see a little more clearly.


17.) 10 Mar 2024 10:28:34
Spot on, @Salah. @ItsTrue, @IR said Robbo had 18 assists in the last 2 season (21/ 22 and 22/ 23) hence, NOT including this season. Not sure what school you went to or if you ever atteneded math class at all BUT your calculation is a math trainwreck from the off. Thanks for playing, tho.


 

 

29 Feb 2024 08:23:09
So after 2 great results by Kloppie's Kiddie army, what are your thoughts on Saturday's game?

With Everton having 4 points refunded it puts Forest down to 4th from bottom, with Luton having a game in hand on them. So they are in a real relegation battle, and battle they will do.

I think we really need some of our senior players back for this one, because it might be a bit too much for the kids.

Also, anyone who might come back in will need to quickly get up to speed again.

3 points needed to keep our noses in front of the chasing Mancs and Loons.

KBL

1.) 29 Feb 2024 08:41:20
Yes I have to agree. Whilst it's been good to see the young lads do well I think some of the senior players need to get back playing if deemed fit.
We're going to have a big battle for top 5 on our hands in the coming weeks. We need to get some points on the board.


2.) 29 Feb 2024 08:54:33
Alright Walter, I'm going to but for this one ?

Utd are currently sixth spot and they are 16 points behind us with 12 games to go. For us to drop out of the top 5, we would need to lose 6 games out of the 12 games remaining while United and the other teams between us winning those 6 games. Considering we have only lost two games all season until this point, I don't see how you can see that being possible regardless of how negative you are ?.


3.) 29 Feb 2024 08:55:08
I understand what you're saying but personally I'm not concerned about this game, I think we'll annihilate them whoever we put on the pitch. I've got something in my mind now and I genuinely believe we'll go ahead and win every single game of the season.


4.) 29 Feb 2024 09:02:19
Morning Nrw - I think we are nailed on for a top 4 finish already.

There are 2 games between us and City and that is not a lot for any returning players to fully get up to speed - that's assuming any of them will be available of course.

It was clear last night, that although the younger boys did a good job, some of them are still too lightweight at this stage of their development, and I don't think are 'man' enough for the PL battles ahead,


5.) 29 Feb 2024 09:05:56
Cool - ‘normal’ service resumed. Who would you include in the battle for top 5, @Neg?


6.) 29 Feb 2024 10:00:10
Judging by Klopp’s comments after the game I think Dom, Salah, Endo and Nunez will be back for Saturday.

He said the kids have done well but asked the media to leave them alone now ‘in the corner’ as they still have a lot to learn. He also said that there would be times moving forward when they will be used but it didn’t sound like he thought he’d be relying on them like he’s had to in the last week.

Personally I think if the cup final had been City at home in the league then Dom, Salah and Nunez would’ve played but Klopp has resisted throwing them in as he wants them fit and firing for the run in.

I’d expect a much more experienced line up from here on in.


7.) 29 Feb 2024 10:27:21
I tend to agree beckers peckers - I think the kids this week have (hopefully) allowed, mo, dim, Darwin and endo the time they need to recover for the run in. I would however like to see Danns and Clark kept in the match day squads. I think those two particularly have talent and can be used as squad players whilst we’re a little light on numbers.


8.) 29 Feb 2024 11:41:00
Tbh - just enjoying the ride to the end. Am letting go of all the fine details and just looking to each game and seeing the culmination of years of work that FSG and Klopp have been doing to rebuild the club from bottom to top.


9.) 29 Feb 2024 11:42:56
Battle for top 5? In the words of John Mcenroe “you cannot be serious?! ”.


10.) 29 Feb 2024 12:00:46
Spot on, Semibythesea3. Absolute waffle.


11.) 29 Feb 2024 12:09:39
I feel he has reached a new height here with this one.
Though at least he has revised his original prediction of a top half finish being the best to hope for.


12.) 29 Feb 2024 12:16:01
Keep casting that rod Walter.

Probably the closest title battle between 3 teams for years.

We only have Klopp for another 2 and a bit months so we might as well enjoy it whilst we can.

What will be will be.


13.) 29 Feb 2024 12:57:40
I really hope Walter is a troll because if he’s not it’s actually quite sad that a person can live their life with that attitude.

Life is to be enjoyed Walter you don’t always have to protect yourself with impending doom scenarios.

If we don’t win it then we don’t win it but at least try to enjoy the ride. 99.9% of fans worldwide will never know what a title race feels like!


14.) 29 Feb 2024 13:24:31
Completely agree JK and BP.
Such a short time to reflect upon whilst enjoying Klopps tenure and what a season it has been so far.
I try to be delicate with Walter as he’s been a poster on here for so long and has always had the same sort of tone to his posts which I find hard to understand but at the same time I respect as everyone has their view of the world and all that contributes to that is our various experiences of life.
That said, I am starting to have my doubts that Walter isn't just a professional troll who commits years to the act?.


15.) 29 Feb 2024 16:25:45
I get I am not the most liked or sharpest tool in the box on here. However I only say things as I see it. Yeah I am just the way I am. I am never out to hurt or upset anyone.
To the poster asking top five it could be anyone currently in the top 6 positions. My concern is with where Liverpool finish.
I can see us loosing enough points to finish 5th or 6th. We have city utd to play both desperate to take points off us . Could lose both. We still have spurs to play could loose or draw. West Ham have gotten a result against us recently. Fulham if I recall have took many points off us in recent years. Villa spanked us recently 8.2 they will want a victory for their European qualification. Then there's Brighton that have the potential to be a banana skin.
All in I think some people believe the league is in the bag I happen to think the league is there to be lost unfortunately.
I'll be the happiest LFC supporter if we win it I just don't have blind faith we will.
To be fair the team has done wat better than my expectations this season I genuinely thought we would be around where Chelsea are so I am great full for our season so far.


16.) 29 Feb 2024 18:06:36
Always thought we’d be top four comfortably. If we can beat City I think we’ll go on and win the league. Simple as that. We’re showing incredible resilience at the moment, every game is a cup final between now and the end of the season and as Chelsea found out, we’re quite handy at them.


17.) 29 Feb 2024 18:22:02
West Ham last got any points off us back in 2021.

The Villa humbling was back in 2020.

What are you on about Walter?


18.) 29 Feb 2024 20:59:35
"Could dot this. Could do that. Could succeed. Could fail. Could lose this trophy. Could win that trophy. Could finish in x position. Could finish in first position and win the title".

Walter, you're all over the place here. Take the night off, man. It's been a long day, obviously.

And referring to things that happen in 202 and 2021 to support your point despite the teams being different from the one we have now is just proof of your erratic and negative mindset. Like I said. Sleep well. You need it.


19.) 29 Feb 2024 21:24:12
@oli cheers for the feedback. I am fully aware I am not the average supporter but I am allowed my opinion.
I hope we win every game would be great I just have the opinion we won't.


20.) 29 Feb 2024 23:30:25
Neggy, if you can’t enjoy it now you never will.
I’m really sorry to do this to mate, but there will be much worse times than this in the future of LFC.

Sorry for being so negative, but it’s true, just enjoy the moment bud.

Unless of course you’re being overly negative for a bit of fun. ??.


21.) 01 Mar 2024 00:46:17
Think we need to be near perfect to win the league which should be the priority target. Arsenal I think will stumble but City Are machines in the run in. If they beat us at Anfield I think that'll be that but every chance we can win the league. CL place pretty much guaranteed now.


22.) 01 Mar 2024 01:19:30
This trolling is boring now. "Battle for top 5".
Man Utd in 6th, 44 points from 26 games, or 1.69 ppg so far. At their current form, they'll finish on 64 points. We're on 60 already. So by Walters logic we're in a "battle" to pick up 5 points from 12 games.
There's negativity, then there's trolling. Walter is the latter.


23.) 01 Mar 2024 07:37:15
Everyone is allowed an opinion but everyone is also allowed to pick holes when your leave a gaping canyon in the logic mate and then the evidence you use to back up your points lol.


24.) 01 Mar 2024 08:45:13
It's almost Flat earther logic :)


25.) 01 Mar 2024 08:49:34
“Always thought we’d be top four comfortably”. @VV what’s your definition of always? I assume ‘always’ doesn’t extend back as far as last summer’s transfer window.

When I was a boy some things had a ‘lifetime’ guarantee which occasionally meant what it said. A couple of years back I saw some cutlery advertised that had a “lifetime” guarantee of 7 years.


26.) 01 Mar 2024 08:55:24
Too many of you are taking Walter too seriously, he's having a mess around and always does. I love his input, we all can't be this positive, he offers something different and does it on purpose. He's probably more positive then I am and that's saying something.

Keep it up Walter mate, you make me laugh every time you post lol I absolutely love it. It's even funnier when people bite!


27.) 01 Mar 2024 12:46:03
You are a decent human being @Salah.


28.) 01 Mar 2024 13:48:36
Thank you very much WDW.


29.) 01 Mar 2024 19:34:25
After we signed MacAllister and Szoszlai WDW, that improved our midfield 110%. We did enough last summer to get us back in the top four comfortably, shame we left the midfield a summer too late as it cost us a top four place last season.

So not always then.

Just sat here with a cuppa and a toasted teacake, before another boring day at the coalface. It's great having this forum to be able to call into now and again for a bit of craic.

Just thinking, with Klopp presumably being held in high regards by FSG, is it possible that he might put forward any suggestions/ recommendations for who takes his place, or is it a case of 'I'm out' and that's it?

KBL

Well if his suggestion is anything like suggesting Brandt one or two players ahead of Salah, then perhaps we just take that recommendation with a pinch of salt :D.


2.) 30 Jan 2024 09:34:29
Actually klopp never say he will not return back to liverpool, did he?

{Ed002's Note - He is never going to be the coach of Liverpool again. Move on.}


3.) 30 Jan 2024 10:30:21
Klopp said in his presser “this old man isn’t going to tell or advise the club on who should replace him”.


4.) 30 Jan 2024 10:31:24
Which stage of the 5 stages of grief are you guys on?

Me, I am still on denial. It's much easier than anger or depression.


5.) 30 Jan 2024 11:49:31
How, I gutted that Klopp is leaving but he was always going to leave soon anyway. No need for grieve, enjoy the success and the rest of the season. He leaves with his head held high and the club in the best state it has been in since I have supported them. Lots to celebrate not mourn!


6.) 30 Jan 2024 13:41:51
I'm over it now. Fantastic manager, a true Liverpool legend but all good things come to an end.

One thing I truly appreciate is what he's leaving us with, he's left an incredible squad of players with tons of potential, overall very young and a lot of youngsters there ready to step up. This is klopps doing.

Whoever comes in, it'd take one hell of a bad manager to ruin what we currently have, we're future proof and I take comfort from that.

Onwards and upwards, we can be incredible, we just need the right man for the job after Klopp and I believe FSG will do their very best to ensure we get the right person in.


7.) 30 Jan 2024 14:39:21
Spot on, Salah. I'm done with the whole "Klopp is leaving" announcement thingy as well. The man himself has clearly moed on so who am I to keep dwelling on it?

I am now focused on this season and supporting my team till the very end. That's all I can do and will do. The matters about who will replace Klopp or signings or whatever, that's stuff none of us here can control. All I can hope for is that FSG get the right appointments esp. at the DOF and managerial level and others. Personally, I choose to focus on the things Klopp asked me to do which ironically, are the things I can control.


8.) 30 Jan 2024 17:09:43
We all knew that Klopp would leave someday but I had hoped for at least one more extension to his contract so he could see the job through with this current crop. Alas it was not to be.

I will miss him massively he’s become part of the fabric and the history of the club, it’s quite hard to imagine match days without him.

That being said Liverpool FC has always been bigger than one man and we will continue to be the greatest club and fans in the world.

Nobody likes change but it is sometimes needed in order to grow. With the right people in place this could be the start of something even more special.


9.) 30 Jan 2024 17:52:33
Spot on @Salah.

Just one little niggling count for me …. The timing of the announcement took attention away from the last week of the transfer window. Perhaps it’s just a giant ruse to deflect attention from the window …….


10.) 30 Jan 2024 18:34:04
I’m still absolutely gutted. But fact is that it’s done. Important thing is getting the right man for the job.


11.) 31 Jan 2024 09:33:30
WDW3, weren't signing anyone in this window anyway and that was clear for many of us to see esp. with players coming back from injury so not sure any deflective ruse was required, IMO.


12.) 31 Jan 2024 16:25:07
Nobody asking more about the teacake?
Shame on you.
What did you put on that teacake KBL?


13.) 31 Jan 2024 19:11:02
I think Beckers Pecker sums up my feelings too, it is hard to read and listen to pressers atm but it will pass. I think that's for another day though, for now there are games to play and trophies to win perhaps.

We may finally get a penalty now the refs know klopp is off!


14.) 31 Jan 2024 19:38:47
@Oli, don’t lose sight of the fact that it’s the banter page mate ?.


 

 

02 Jan 2024 08:53:05
Well, I just want to congratulate both teams on giving us such a great game in absolutely horrendous conditions.

Liverpool came out deservedly with the 3 points despite missing a pen, and having a goal disallowed - and also despite the referee (? ) seemingly intent on trying to book as many of our lads as possible.

Great watch though, and hopefully we won't miss Salah too much.

KBL

1.) 02 Jan 2024 09:25:58
KBL, and despite us getting into our own way in the final third which is something we still need to improve upon. Apart from that, spot on, my guy.


 

 

15 Dec 2023 14:14:18
Banter page please EDs.

I'm a little bit worried about the game on Sunday. Everybody, including the press and other media thinks we will beat Utd on Sunday, and quite easily.

Thoughts like that make me nervous, and will probably work in their favour too.

What's everyone's thought about this?

KBL

1.) 15 Dec 2023 14:53:02
Nothing will have any bearing on the game as long as we turn up. If we play to our ability it’s a Liverpool win no question.

I don’t tend to worry about how a match will turn out though, it’s not healthy. I always just look forward to a game and hope for the best.


2.) 15 Dec 2023 15:13:30
It's not that I don't get what your saying, but we've gone in as favourites in the last 5 games, lived up to that tag in 4 of them and won. 3 of them really comfortably.

The one we lost was when we were having a really poor start to the season and ten Hag ball hadn't been found out yet. And that was at Old Toilet. I can't see that happening again. Especially at Anfield.


3.) 15 Dec 2023 15:56:20
OP, relax. The media have been doing this before near every Utd game making it like a circus and some big for the past 5 years like we are hot favorites and all that and bar the 2-1 at OT last season where we did not look like we wanted to be there, they get battered.

The only time the media hyped Utd up as favs. ironically (the hype their fans and the squad and manager actually believed), they got Seven-ed. For me, Klopp has done a good job with preparing the players to just play the game, stick to the plan and execute and not get caught up in the occasion and the media circus. We do that and stay focused and turn up, we will be grand. Let the media and the online fans do their thing. It's not like you can stop any of that, really.


4.) 15 Dec 2023 16:41:13
Why wouldn't the media hype up Liverpool v Manchester United? It's the biggest game in English football.


5.) 15 Dec 2023 17:00:12
Same here KBL. Can’t stand it when people assume the game is over before it’s kicked off.

They’re not going to roll over for us. We will have to fight for the win.


6.) 15 Dec 2023 17:10:55
Exactly, Thunderbird 2. Why wouldn't the media do that? Fans will say what they want and think we will Seven them again and there is simply now way you can stop that.

N btw, not sure fans talking smack on Twitter has any control over the universe cos fans don't play. Players play and coaches coach.
As long as our players stay focused and execute the game plan and not play the occasion, we will be fine.


7.) 15 Dec 2023 17:34:57
I also worry going into the game as heavy favourites might work against us mentally.


8.) 15 Dec 2023 17:37:00
LFC to win.


9.) 15 Dec 2023 17:53:45
We just need to not beat them too badly so he gets the sack. can't keep getting good united managers sacked. get to 4 nil then relax.


10.) 15 Dec 2023 18:02:57
We'll play well, and we will win.


11.) 15 Dec 2023 18:07:07
I think most United fans would take a 3-0 loss now if offered.


12.) 15 Dec 2023 18:10:07
RS, not sure Seven Hag gets sacked even if they lose heavily to us. Those guys can't be saved, at this point IMO.


13.) 15 Dec 2023 20:30:32
UTD are pure rubbish. It would be a shame if Liverpool don’t thrash them.


14.) 15 Dec 2023 21:18:55
Don’t believe Utd fans would take a 3-0 loss. not a chance. When fergie was there and we was crap I always believed we would win when we went there. Like klopp said last year was a freak. I’m just glad I was alive to see it . Also without the sh*thouse Bruno he is the catalyst for everything bad in that team wish he was playing .


15.) 15 Dec 2023 23:20:29
It will suit Utd. They’re at their best when they sit back and hit on the counter.

That’s what they did at OT last season, they went for it in the first 20 but then played like the away team for the rest of the match.

They won’t even have to try and look like they’re the home team on Sunday, that will suit them.

They’ll play the game like they did against Bayern at home for me. Hope to nick a goal, but basically play not to get battered.


16.) 16 Dec 2023 12:00:42
We have to be careful against united, everybody remembers when they were flying under fergie and let's face it we were awful, we always gave them a tough game and got some memorable wins, let's hope our head is on the game from the off.

Yeah, we seem to have a lot of players getting hamstring injuries again. A bit like when Klopp first came in. Szobo, Trent, Alisson, Salah - although his was when away at AFCON.

Not the best time right now.

Very tough game tomorrow at Brentford, where Klopp has never yet won.

Digger10 - I think the reason he tends to get injured is because he is a very physical player who never pulls out of a tackle or 50/ 50 challenge.

A lot of other players do.

Some of our other players never seem to put a decent challenge in.

I like him in the team.

Leeeeeroooooy - correct we did, but we didn't win everything losing out on the 2 biggest prizes, and finished outside the CL spots for the first time in years last season. Why? Because we decided not to invest in the midfield area.

I think most would agree that was a mistake and highlights why we are not able to compete consistently with the mega money teams.

Nothing to do with short memories, We've won 1 PL title in 33 years.

We have spent around £110 million this window. As far as I am aware we have sold players for around £52 million - so far.

To be honest this is about normal for us and that is why I don't expect any more incomings - midfield or elsewhere this month.

I do think this will leave us short and it will likely come back to bite us yet again. To me it doesn't feel like we are putting down markers to the rest of the PL that we are ready to compete hard enough.

But we have a new training complex, increased ground capacity, and a growing commercial business which has moved us up in the money league.

So we have a successful business, but right now an unsuccessful PL team.

I like our owners, but with them I don't think we can consistently compete at the very highest level.

Klopp has stated that he doesn't know if Moises is having a medical today, and has only been told that the clubs have agreed a price. So still a bit to do.

The thing is we have played them twice this season and they have come away with the results they wanted on both occasions.

That today has given them a huge boost, and they won't fear us when we go back to the sh. thole on 7th April.

Only ourselves to blame.

BP - while you are correct with us having players coming back for the run in, it will be almost April when that happens, and it will take a few games for hem to get up to proper match fitness, so that could be a disadvantage.

Only might be though.

Could the reason Klopp is going be because he knew Edwards was coming back?

Just a random thought!

I've stated on here a few times that VAR should be like the video ref in Rugby League. In the event of any doubt the video ref takes over, and everything he says can be heard so it's clear.

Sometimes it falls down when they can't see the ball, but this happens very seldom.

It is not like VAR where the ref and whoever is on VAR duty can have private conversations, so nobody really knows what is happening.

All clubs are suffering because of this, but we do seem to have been on the end of several bad calls this season.

JLC - if any of the City defenders are naive enough to give penalties away like the Everton players did, we might do, because they were both stonewallers.

They won't be though.
