Atalanta in Europa League quarters. Hopefully on of easier opponents we could face.
1.) 15 Mar 2024 12:53:14
Atalanta are no mugs.
The only team I wanted to avoid is Roma because of their ultras. Not worth the trouble. It actually annoys me that they are allowed to continue in the tournament after consistent issues.
2.) 15 Mar 2024 12:54:57
Jürgen V Alonso in the final could have a great story behind it.
3.) 15 Mar 2024 13:14:04
Be good to see how alonso does against wet spam.
4.) 15 Mar 2024 13:27:36
Liverpool should be destroying this competition, no matter who we face. Atalanta are not the tricky, sleek team they were from 2018-2021 when they had Ilicic and Gomez causing chaos. They also can’t defend.
As the Sparta Prague manager classily pointed out yesterday, Liverpool are a high-level Champions League team playing at a much higher level than the other teams in this competition. No excuses for not winning it.
5.) 15 Mar 2024 13:34:37
Leverkusen are not getting to the final they barely beat Qarabag, reckon West Ham will beat them tbh.
6.) 15 Mar 2024 14:20:21
@Kloppers, i do share your view point. Leverkusen could actually underestimate west ham. West ham is playing top football by the way they crush Freiburg. Will be real test for Leverkusen.
7.) 15 Mar 2024 15:26:30
Leek, top football? West Ham? Have you seen their last several games in the PL where many of their fans wanted (and still want) Moyes gone? Miss me with that stuff, man. Top football and WH in the same sentence is the stuff of pure comedy.
As fo Atalanta, we could have gotten Milan or Roma so I'll take it. We play up to our potential, we beat them and go thru.
8.) 15 Mar 2024 15:36:44
Agree with everything you've said there, OliRed.
9.) 15 Mar 2024 15:53:51
OliRed watch West Ham closer, when Paqueta plays they play. No coincidence their form dropped this season whilst he was unavailable.
Some feckless performances this season no doubt but any team with Paqueta, Bowen and Kudos playing can cause teams huge problems. Leverkusen have been superlative all season but are not infallible, West Ham I believe have won 26/ 28 of their last European matches. Highly unlikely it will be a procession and should be a good tie.
10.) 15 Mar 2024 16:31:33
Any of the teams left could beat any other on a given day.
Over 2 legs though is there anyone left that could beat Liverpool? I don’t think so.
11.) 15 Mar 2024 16:47:37
Big Jorg, I fully agree with you on the Paqueta being absent and all that BUT to say that WH has been playing top footie is just porkies, man. Have they had good performances? yeas. Have they had wretched ones? ABsolutely. Vs Arsenal (6-0), Nott. Forest (5-0) and at Fulham (5-0). Did I also mention vs LFC (5-1 and 3-1)?
That ain't top football by any stretch when you get battered by near tennis scores once in a while. Vs Leverkusen? It will be a great tie and Im looking forward to him.
12.) 15 Mar 2024 16:56:21
I agree with that BP, I don't think any of teams left will beat us over 2 legs but a final a different story, 1 off game anything can happen. Good draw for us overall, although as far as winning it goes we probably better off playing leverkusan in quater final rather than a final as they be possibly distracted with closing out bundesliga title win. By time final is on they probably have it won.
13.) 15 Mar 2024 17:17:46
We’ll win this Europa League with ease if we want.
Only way we don’t, is if we literally Chuck it because we focus on other competitions.
14.) 15 Mar 2024 17:58:17
I'd quite like to see us hit double digits against Rome, just to teach their ultras a lesson.
15.) 15 Mar 2024 18:56:52
@Lowel, I totally agree with you - what’s the need in playing any of the games ? We are far, far better than any of the other teams left in it. I’ve actually just written to UEFA pointing this out and have asked them just to send the trophy over to Anfield as early as possible next week.
16.) 15 Mar 2024 19:28:26
I can see a Liverpool vs West Ham final tbh. Paqueta is back fit and they’re pretty resilient in European matches.
17.) 15 Mar 2024 19:33:36
Leverkusen with batter West Ham this way and that way.
18.) 15 Mar 2024 20:37:33
Agree with Lowe. I take nothing for granted, but I think I will be a bit disappointed if we don't add this to Klopps trophy haul.
19.) 15 Mar 2024 23:13:46
We'll win this trophy, I have no doubts about it. We're so strong this season, no team will come close. Leverkusen deserve respect, they've done very well this season and I think they'll have enough to get into the final vs us.
20.) 16 Mar 2024 06:30:04
Salah - Agreed on all points. Liverpool have coped quite remarkably with the injury crisis that would have ruined the seasons of pretty much every other team in the league. A lot of that is down to Jurgen Klopp, but it must be said our squad is packed with amazing technical quality. Though I doubt Alisson will play again until August, I think the injuries we have sustained in 2024 may turn out to give us the vital energy boost we’ll need to win 2 or 3 trophies this season.

Salary cap anyone?
1.) 26 Apr 2023 19:16:31
In theory yes it's a good idea but anything that is implemented by UEFA is doomed to fail, weather that's due to incompetence or corruption.
One draw back of a salary cap though would be u end up with very average players commanding even more of a fortune than they are already on. Sort of like minimum wage, before long a coffee maker will be on £12 an hour, in which case why learn a trade.
2.) 26 Apr 2023 19:30:51
What sparked this idea?
Love the idea but then who keeps/ where goes all the money not spent on wages? Sure as hell wouldn’t be fans or down the pyramid.
Also, Capped at what? Transfer fee cap as well? I don’t think you’d ever reach an international consensus and FIFA/ UEFA definitely wouldn’t impose one.
{Ed002's Note - I think you rather minsunderstand the situation.}
3.) 26 Apr 2023 20:13:25
Not for me I’m already struggling to fill the car up. Could do with 10 grand a year more at least.
4.) 26 Apr 2023 20:42:45
Who does he play for?
5.) 26 Apr 2023 21:46:10
Is a salary cap basic pay say 200,000 a week. But still extras added say like goals assist performances ect or just 200,000 a week for instance.
6.) 26 Apr 2023 22:29:19
Why bother just have the Arab owned clubs giving big "gifts" out to players.
7.) 27 Apr 2023 00:03:43
I think I misunderstood as well. Didn’t see that be coming…but then I never expect them to do anything proper for the sake of fairer competition. So then, that makes me think, why now? What’s their angle?
8.) 27 Apr 2023 04:01:07
A salary cap is an appalling idea and absolutely not the way to go in order to ensure more sporting fairness. If footballers are paid more than they are worth, it is because clubs like Man City and PSG pay utterly obscene salaries to their players using funds sourced from variables with no relation to the game, meaning proper market forces are not organically limiting remuneration like they do in almost every other industry. If the finances of football were actually regulated properly in an environment where administrators were not utterly corrupt, there’d be no need for a salary cap as remuneration would largely reflect a player’s worth towards a club’s success.
It is also immoral to artificially limit the earning potential of actors in a one specific industry. The likelihood of bankers, managers and scientists ever being subject to a salary cap is almost nil. A lot of footballers come from poor backgrounds, and would likely still be there were it not for their inexplicable talent.

Really.
11 Mar 2024 15:32:16
Neto has a recurring knee problem according to club sources.
05 Feb 2024 17:16:37
That's right, let's give him the respect he's earned by bringing success to the club but at the same time peddle any scurrilous rumours that we come across.
14 Aug 2023 18:46:47
Oh, how I wish I had access to so much inside information.
14 Jul 2023 10:20:40
Not always the case Kew17. The digraph 'll'is sometimes pronounced as a soft 'j' or even as a 'sh'. Today's remedial lesson over.
03 Apr 2024 11:01:42
Good points MK. I think the analysis of players' motivation in the article was far too simplistic.
01 Mar 2024 22:10:31
Ideally there would be two-way communication so that those who see themselves as best qualified could off advice on treatment.
27 Jan 2024 11:23:27
Jurgen Klopp is a great manager and more importantly an even better man and we are luck to have had him with us for so long. Some posters have alluded to ulterior motives for his departure but I believe it his integrity that has lead him to his decision to leave when he could still enjoy the accolades that someone driven by ego would find hard to resist.
By leaving now when he feels he will not have the energy to keep going at his current intensity allows us to recruit a successor who will inherit a team is excellent shape rather than on that has gone into decline. Although some of us posters find it difficult to imagine a life without LFC at the centre of it I wish him well and am sure there will always be a special place in his heart for the city, the club and us fans.
26 Jan 2024 13:59:11
I suspect that Jurgen made his announcement today because FSG are approaching replacements and could not gaurantee that other clubs would maintain confidentiality.
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of FSG approaching any replacements.}
26 Jan 2024 11:00:11
Hope not!
