Is anyone genuinely fearful of being kept out of the top 4 for a few years? Interested to know.

We've had some poor transfer windows and half of the Prem will again spend more than us. City are nailed on. Do we think Arse, Newcastle will drop off next year? Chelsea will also be better.

Going to get more and more difficult to get back in especially with our owners.

We’ll be back in the top 4 next season I have no doubts. I’m not sure if anyone will touch City though for the title.

I’m just waiting on odds from the bookies for Utd, Arsenal and Newcastle all going out at the CL group stages as I think it could very well happen as none will be in the top pots and didn’t exactly set the Europa alight.


2.) 26 May 2023 20:50:31
I love how you didn't mention United, because this is just another false dawn right?

City are streets ahead of everyone, Arsenal put up a good fight but faded and let's be honest, none of us saw them being so strong. I th8nk they will continue next year and if they buy well may get even stronger.

Newcastle will undoubtedly spend and if they continue their current trajectory will be up there. However, they have ECL as well so will need a deeper squad.

Like it or not, United progressed hugely this year. A cup, top 4, and a cup final to come, but also 3 horrible defeats so work still to do. It all comes down to the quality of recruitment and the ability to shift a lot players out. If we sign a top top CF (easier said than done), then we will be very very tasty. We were flying until lack of squad depth caught up with us, but the right recruitment should address that.

Chelse qre awful, Poch will help, but it will take time to sort that mess out, same for Spurs, and Brighton will lose players so will likely go backwards.

As for Liverpool, what an odd season, I don't pretend to understand it. I think recruitment will be key, get the right players in and you will be right back up there, get it wrong and you will struggle. You have a great Manager, one of the best so that's a big plus, but trying to understand what happened this year is beyond me, and id I was you, that would worry me.


3.) 26 May 2023 20:52:32
Chelsea were meant to be better this year. no one this year has been outstanding, even city. As long as we go back to our best, we will be fine.


4.) 26 May 2023 21:03:10
FSG have two options. Spend money and lots of it, or do very little and spend the next few years outside the top four.


5.) 26 May 2023 21:05:30
Not overly so. Think there's a strong chance of a rebound season next year.

We need a few additions though.


6.) 26 May 2023 21:26:10
Not at all. I think Man United and Arsenal will stagnate due to their over rated managers. I think Newcastle will regress in the league due to Howe being new to European football. Chelsea and Spurs are in an absolute state that might take years to fix.

My predictions are a City and Liverpool title race. Man United and Arsenal probably top 4. Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa in the other European places. I think Spurs are just a mid table team now.


7.) 26 May 2023 21:33:19
AJH - To be fair, you are a good poster mate but Ten Hag was given £250m, plus all the add ons to spend on the squad ….


8.) 26 May 2023 21:48:19
Serious question MK, what exactly are you basing it on that you think we will suddenly now be in a title race with city?

Surely any argument you can make could be easily argued for any other team above is this year? Even Chelsea.


9.) 26 May 2023 21:59:54
I’m of the view that either FSG find a badly needed overhaul or sell to someone who has more ambition. If we want to compete at the top level we need owners with deeper pockets.


10.) 26 May 2023 22:06:41
Talking sense, people didn’t give us a chance last season after the 20-21 season where we had a similar drop off to this season but scraped 3rd with a good run at the end of the season. We came back fighting and came closer than any team in English history (including the great Man City) to winning the quad.

Next season will be no different. We’ve finished this season strongly and will start next season even stronger. We shown once again that there’s only one team in this league that’s capable of going on a run capable of challenging City.

We’ll be back up there I have no doubts in my mind whatsoever.


11.) 26 May 2023 22:11:58
I think Liverpools season will be defined in the Transfer Window.
We’ll know in the first 5 games where we’re heading.


12.) 26 May 2023 22:56:28
If and it’s a big if.

If City win the treble this year does that mean they were closer to winning the Quadruple than us or is losing a CL final and finishing 2nd in the league regarded as closer or better because we played in every game over winning 3 of the 4.


13.) 26 May 2023 22:59:28
AJH, our issues this season range from poor squad management over the past 4 years which came to a head this season some questionable stuff going on in the scouting/ recruitment department, moving to a new system that did NOT suit the players and Klopp's mistakes on and off the pitch. I think I've just about covered everything.

Now have Utd improved? Of course. You guys were SO crap last season, the only way to go was up, IMO. Now is your improvement huge? Nah, bro. Not really. You went from 6th to 4th with a Carabao Cup after spending 250m in the summer alone that could have risen to 400M had you gotten Darwing, Gakpo De Jong. And judging by how disgracefully you got sent packing in the EL by Seville who have been relegation fodder half this season in La Liga, I wouldn't call that a ""huge improvement.

The fact that seqpite all our issues, we will finish a measly 3 to 6 points behind you so again, "huge" improvement? Again, I don't see it. If both teams have the window they want, things could get really spicy next season. Exciting times.

15.) 26 May 2023 23:50:41
Fair play to AJH for a reasoned comment but the only player who improved that United side this season, for all the money spent, was 30 year old Casemiro, they were awful when he didn't play. I saw recently that Ten Hag's win ratio was actually worse than Solskjaer.


16.) 27 May 2023 00:55:45
Why did we have to have a bad season, bad enough every Man U fan in work us waffling away outa them now all of a sudden they're on the L'pool page? Funny how they didn't want to chat with us scousers the last few summer windows, now were all best pals??.


17.) 27 May 2023 04:03:00
Liverpool will make an immediate return to the top 4 and (probably) the title race as long as Klopp starts managing like he should and not like the gaslighter-in-chief caricature he has become. He himself needs to start doing things properly again, and not like the run-of-the-mill whiny toad he is currently looking like. Klopp is the difference in us being contenders or mid-table, and he needs to remember that.


18.) 27 May 2023 04:46:32
Interesting that no one is suggesting that ManCity will have a bad year next year, or that perhaps they have even peaked and are at the end of a cycle.

I mean, it just takes Gundogan and Silva to go, and Pep to react badly to any UEFA charges that might actually stick.


19.) 27 May 2023 06:12:41
Manchester City ll replace Gundagaon and Silva with better players. We are thinking to bring in kids to replace our ongoing players!


20.) 27 May 2023 06:55:14
Hmm, sine great points here, and some not so great ones.

Liverpool will be at least 25 points worse than last year, United will likely be 18 points better than last season. You finished 37 points ahead of us last year, this year you have less points, but United haven't made progress?

One of our biggest problems was attitude and signing players like Cas and Eriksen helps address that, as does shipping out Ronaldo who should never have been brought back. However, the best signing we made is Martinez who is a 5ft 9in beast.

As a few have said, signing the right people is key. Antony for us hasn't delivered, but I'm not convinced by Nunez or Gakpo either. The teams that recruit well will improve, as United have shown in recent years, recruit poorly and things go from bad to worse.

Here's a thought. As I said above, I think Klopp is a great Manager, but there is a view that after a period of time his methods no longer work and he needs to move on. Perhaps that time is now.


21.) 27 May 2023 08:20:02
I think Klopp will have us back in the 90 odd point bracket next year, if he does that we know it either brings the title or losing by a point to this annoyingly good team from Manchester. When he manages that it'll be up to the other teams to keep pace, if they manage that fair dues. AJH in fairness you would have been happy to be twenty odd points behind us again this season as long as yis got top 4,as it happens its gone even better than that. A thing of wildest dreams i would say but things like the 7-0 and the last coupla months are more like our real level. As the two teams stand at this point in the window i just assume to be back ahead next year. Whether we can challenge City is another thing of course because they're a different level but with Lfc's act together i just can't see Utd been able to keep up. I see yis fighting it out with Chelsea for fourth.


22.) 27 May 2023 09:07:17
AJH. United have been average all season. Only got top 4 cos everyone else was so poor. You'll be back to your usual position next season. Your squad is poor. Martinez a beast?! Right o! Hows 90 million Anthony doing? I love the way united finish above us and immediately come over to this page! Makes me laugh. City will smash you in the FA cup, different league.


23.) 27 May 2023 09:10:18
Talking sense, i don't really need to reply now. Just read Becker Peckers comment. They nailed exactly why i believe we'll bounce back into a title race next season.


24.) 27 May 2023 09:23:22
Marty, Marty, Marty, you ready for big school next year?

I've been posting for 12 years and periodically post on all other teams pages. I have a good laugh with raver on the Spurs page, Malaga on the Arsenal page, and a few on the Chelsea page.

I thought I was polite and constructive but here you are, stamping your feet.

Martinez has been awesome, as I said above, Antony hasn't.

Bang average? I've hated watching United for years, the football has been awful. This year has been completely different. Clearly we have run out of gas as the squad depth isn't there but you keep kidding yourself Marty.

Thanks for your constructive comments.


25.) 27 May 2023 09:29:06
I think Liverpools performances over the last few months give us hope for optimism for next season. Given that we are bound to add at least a couple of new players then I think we will be in a good place.

Sure City are miles ahead and it nearly seems impossible to keep up but who knows? New season, new approach, new players to freshen the squad up, New Optimism ?.


26.) 27 May 2023 09:47:04
AJH always welcome here mate.

Irish here here mate. Once Southampton is out of the way it’s a brand new chapter with a blank page.


27.) 27 May 2023 10:03:47
I don’t know how you can say you have no doubts whatsoever about Liverpool and a title challenge BP. There must be some doubts and a large part of us challenging will be about recruitment. Let’s say for Example we added Mcallister, Mount and a left cb for £50m. That squad doesn’t challenge Man City unfortunately. There are just too many unanswered questions about the squad, the coaches, manager, directors of football, physio etc.

Everything we do until the start of the season will have to be near perfect to challenge for the title.


28.) 27 May 2023 10:20:02
Saw a comment saying ten hag is an overrated manager. Have to disagree. He inherited an absolute mess of a club. A club on its knees.

Money helps- but he only got that money after the drubbing at Brentford and it came from a credit line from the bank. Not the signs of a well run club.

I posted here a long time ago, and right now still maintain Klopp will get you back to the top challenging no problem. You’ve finished the season strong and need a few players to freshen things up, but I’ve no doubt you will do that. Next season could be a corker, if we recruit properly and get a number 9 I can see us picking up another 10-15 points across the season.

Remember lads, for all the top clubs. You’re only one or two players away from being able to challenge. If things are right off the pitch, then the work their way out on it.

Cheers for a good race to top 4. I have no doubt you will be better next year, and I hope we can continue improving.


29.) 27 May 2023 10:30:20
No….


30.) 27 May 2023 10:30:50
AJH, ignore some of the childish replies. I don't often post but read loads and have seen you before so know you're not here to gloat etc but to start a discussion and talk football. This page has become more and more closed book over recent years. It's either I'm right and you're wrong 100% or it turns into schoolyard stuff. So please don't be deterred from future discussions.

It's interesting to hear your take on the season and next year predictions. I think United may have an improved few years with players like Casamero, Varane and Eriksson but also need to invest for the future as they are getting older, a problem Liverpool find themselves in now. Replacing good players is not easy and the current good older players will only deteriorate/ have to sit out more games to recover.

I agree though, United's finishing has been so poor. One good goalscorer who also does the hard yards and you'd win a lot more games.

I think Liverpool's issue has been identity. I don't know their style anymore or what a Liverpool goal looks like. It used to be heavy metal, speed and counter and high press. Then we tried to control the game more with Thiago like signings. Then it didn't work so tried this new inverted fullback nonesense that everyone is trying. All while buying players for different systems and playing styles. It feels to me like square pegs, round holes. If we get a go back to simple football and overpowering teams then I think we'll be better off but we need to make decisions in the transfer market and stick to them. If we have another poor transfer market then I can see us struggling again.


31.) 27 May 2023 10:50:59
Great post 1jj.

Is that an official quote from FSG when Klopp asks for money to spend.


32.) 27 May 2023 10:56:22
I don’t know much about footy but for me city are not the beast everyone making them out to be. Yeh they probably win league next season but they will be fighting for it. it’s not beyond the realms for Chelsea to be up there wouldn’t overlook them I reckon they will be back, Newcastle won’t even finish in the top6 I think us Chelsea and probably spurs will see to that. Utd is tricky they have improved plus they have a possible new owner looking to splash the cash will it improve or upset them. Arsenal played some great football but I hate all the time wasting crap maybe a few signings they can be up there again. As for us I seen a stat last week that said since the World Cup same amount of games played as arsenal we are 1 point off them yet they are brilliant and we are crap. I think ( hope) we be back up there. klopp will work his magic again . Happy bank holiday folks.


33.) 27 May 2023 10:59:05
More than likely 5 places as well if we are talking from point of getting champions league? That will be in effect this season right? I know it is based on European performance but odds are it will go to premier league?

I am still in the positive boat with others that we are more likely to be second than outside the top 4 or 5.


34.) 27 May 2023 11:19:35
Some good, well reasoned points Tony. Think one of the main differences in Utd this season and last is you were simply too easy yo beat last season

Credit where its due, ETH has made you a lot harder to beat. Big job was to get Maguire away from the starting 11 - Martinez and Maguire have been very good, as has Casemiro and Erikkson. Like you said, attitude was a big factor and sorting out the Ronaldo issue helped with that - it showed he wasn't going to shy away from the big issues or egos, something Ole was guilty of

There have been good points definitely in this season for Utd, I mean possibly 2 cups and a 3rd place finish is an obvious improvement- however, Rashfords form in the 1st half of the season, and De Gea's too, had Utd flying. De Gea got s bit erratic and Rashford went off the boil and you let Liverpool get a lot closer thsn they had any right too

Think a solid number 9, Rashford to the left and you will look a lot better

As for us, who knows what went wrong. Transfers in the summer were wrong. We had a midfield, big in numbers but high in injury prone players and form of a lot of players went out the window - last 10 games were more like the Liverpool we've seen the last few seasons though

Can't see Chelsea being great next season, not a big Pochettino fan tbh, Spurs will do a Spurs and can Newcastle sustain good form with European football in play?


35.) 27 May 2023 12:14:35
I’m concerned about our future as a top4 club, Newcastle and Utd will spend big this transfer window and city are streets ahead of us, Arsenal too look to improve again with a big money signing.
If we add 3 first team players this summer we will improve but not to the standard of others around.
We got what we deserved this season others invested and improved we were weaker.
It’s a big window for us and could decide JK future at the club.


36.) 27 May 2023 12:16:43
Despite not signing a midfielder when we needed one, despite not bothering to start playing football until March, despite half our players apparently being dead wood, and despite how bad F$G, Klopp, Ljinders, the tea ladies, the groundsman and every employee of the club allegedly are, we were still 5th.

So, no. I'm not worried about being out of the top 4 long term.


37.) 27 May 2023 12:28:36
Caolan_2, i stand by ETH being over rated mate. He's good and he was a huge upgrade on Ragnick. However I don't see anything from his teams so far that Van Gaal, Arteta or Sarri did at United, Chelsea and Arsenal. You've won the 4th choice trophy and fumbled your way into the top 4; taking some absolute battering's along the way from City, Liverpool, Sevilla, Brighton, Brentford etc.

He's a good manager and I suspect he'll maintain your top 4 status as OGS did. But i don't see you kicking on and progressing to a title challenging team consistently. His signings have been all over the place. Martinez did OK. Casemeiro was a great short term signing but he's 31 next season. Eriksen did OK and is also in his 30's. Anthony was a horrendous waste of money. Malacia is bang average. Weghorst was bang average. Sabitzer did OK but will not be staying. ETH showed no signs of sustaining his team at Ajax when key players moved on or aged. So why do you think he'll fair any better when Varane, De Gea, Eriksen and Casemeiro are past it?

I'm not buying into the hype. He's done nothing so far that Van Gaal didn't achieve and look how that ended. United are so desperate to return to the glory days that I think your fans cling to any sign that you might be back and look for convoluted ways to compare your new managers to Fergie.


38.) 27 May 2023 12:40:21
I'm not worried at all. We'll be challenging for the title next year IF, and it is a big if, we are smart and strategic in our recruiting. I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that this is the most important summers in a long time for the club.


39.) 27 May 2023 13:06:29
Cant EVER remember u on here AJH but im sure you just suddenly felt the need for a chat with your Lfc cousins! Me personally i couldn't be arsed going on the utd page over the last few years on the wind up, in me 40's so a bit childish and to be honest i didn't really mind what utd were doing good or bad i was too busy worrying about City and Pep.


40.) 27 May 2023 13:10:29
Not worried about top 4 at all.

I think there's a much greater chance of United, Chelsea, Newcastle and Spurs all changing managers mid-season than us missing out on top 4 :)


41.) 27 May 2023 19:50:36
I think we don't get a champions league place in 5+ years if we do it will be because of our competition being banned or a points deduction in the Premier league.


42.) 27 May 2023 20:14:47
JK you’re right, the same old whining on here gets boring - where’s the positivity.


43.) 27 May 2023 22:45:11
MK- we don’t compare him to fergie. It isn’t possible to achieve that success or even perform to that level. That might be your view from the outside.

On ETH. Look at what he has had on his plate, if we remove our bias, we would admit the job has been a damn good one. Are we near where we want to be as a club? No. I won’t come on here and tell you the league cup and 3rd or 4th is where we should be. But after the Brentford game of, if you included how we finished the previous season we were relegation form. He’s responsible for the turnaround.

Martinez- superb. Casemiro- superb. Malacia- as cover has done well and pushes shaw to another level. Antony- over priced, but due to incompetence we paid nearly double what we could have had him for weeks previous.
In terms of the January loans- we had no money due to the incompetence of how our club is run. Yes we spend money, but a lot of that is on the credit card.

Ten hag has to our fans believing again and that’s all that matters. You guys were at the bottom when Klopp came in and he got you believing again. Whether ten hag can achieve league titles or European cups remains to be seen. But from the little evidence we have of his time in charge, he’s a damn good manager with a big project on his hands.


44.) 27 May 2023 23:28:23
Viktor Vaughn is spot on. As for Newcastle, we said the same about Chelsea and City years ago. They will be in the mix. Chelsea have the resources to bounce back, it will happen.

The little dance he did to celebrate afterwards as well. Decent effort.

6.) 05 Feb 2023 02:52:25
One in a million. Lucky break. For Wolves. It's the kinda thing that posters were talking about before the game that we would take - a goal off of Salah's arse, or three - but when luck is against you everything is against you.


7.) 05 Feb 2023 05:50:48
Wasn't so much the own goal. I meant leaving the ball and giving their players 10 yards in our box to do what he wants.

Remember when we were told the summer or 2022 was the big rebuild and big signings made. now its next year or the year after.

KloppsGlasses

1.) 19 Aug 2022 13:51:03
No.
Who told us that? I remember us signing Diaz at the beginning of 2022 and breaking over transfer record in the summer though.


2.) 19 Aug 2022 13:51:52
Diaz and Nunes? two fairly big signings!


3.) 19 Aug 2022 13:54:39
Who told you that? I don’t recall the club ever coming out and saying that the big rebuild was happening in 2022. Stop whinging.


4.) 19 Aug 2022 13:55:01
Yeah, we’ve only spent upwards of 100mil on Diaz, Nunez, Carvlaho and Ramsay.

We only renewed Salah, Milner, Gomez and Jota’s contract.

When will we get off our backsides and make some moves in 2022!

???.


5.) 19 Aug 2022 14:00:02
Who told us that?


6.) 19 Aug 2022 14:00:48
It’s almost as if a team that came within 2 games of winning the quadruple doesn’t need a big rebuild yet.


7.) 19 Aug 2022 14:11:47
It's always a good idea to announce a rebuild, as well. Other clubs will be rubbing their hands together when we ask about a player.


8.) 19 Aug 2022 14:17:11
What big rebuild is needed weeks after the club nearly swept the board with all 4 trophies?
I don't recall any statements about rebuilding during Klopp's tenure either, either in the past or for the next season or two.
The desperation for transfers plays havoc with some peoples memories.


9.) 19 Aug 2022 14:39:31
it’s feeling like the days when Klopp first came in. So many people talking as if Klopp would walk in and then the next day titles would arrive. People desperate for the outcome but not willing to see the progression play out.


10.) 19 Aug 2022 14:44:05
I told My mrs I would stop going the pub every weekend in 2022. That has also been pushed right to 2023 with our rebuild.


11.) 19 Aug 2022 14:59:18
It’s always ‘next summer’ we hear but surely next summer has to be the on. Keita Ox Milner Firmino all out of contract. None of them are good enough anymore so we’ll need at least 2 midfielders and a forward. I just hope Klopp doesn’t even consider any new deals for anyone we need to move on. Milner getting a new contract last year rather than being replaced was crazy.


12.) 19 Aug 2022 16:39:48
You hear fraudsters like James Pearce implying big rebuild jobs year on year, it never happens. People saying Diaz, Darwin, Carvalho etc, they are merely replacements. Ironically we’ve had more outgoings, hence the justifiable comments about the need for greater reinforcements. With FSG in charge there will be no big rebuild where the transfer market is concerned.


13.) 19 Aug 2022 17:03:32
FK, surely rebuilding is replacing players that need replacing either due to age or ability? I’m pretty sure that it doesn’t just mean adding more and more players, we have to work to squad size limitations.


14.) 19 Aug 2022 17:03:54
Or with the current manager either Frode.


15.) 19 Aug 2022 17:09:49
Diaz, Darwin, Elliot, Carvalio, Konate, Jota and Ramsey plus some exciting kiddies.

I also have a believe that Bellingham wants to join next year.

When are we starting the rebuilding project?


16.) 19 Aug 2022 17:33:33
The rebuild is going fine - in fact, better than I had thought it would after 20/ 21 season.

Konate, Diaz and Darwin are excellent signings for the long term. Kaide, Carvalho, Ramsey along with Harvey are promising too and have all the talent to succeed.

It's the midfield where I think we are behind. We need more athleticism and durability than we have today. Perhaps if we had more confidence in Curtis and Naby this wouldn't be a debate at all.


17.) 19 Aug 2022 17:41:41
Have I missed something somewhere along the line?
Now 2 people on this thread alone claiming the club has has announced it's rebuilding the team in the past year or two.
Yet I (and apparently most others) haven't heard or seen anything about it.

Has everyone forgot there is actually this season to come . Next season is irrelevant this season we should be prepared for an assault on the prem an champs league and we are half cooked already.


19.) 19 Aug 2022 19:06:30
I think Nunez needs to play a few more minutes before we can claim he’s an excellent signing. Same probably goes for Konate. Konate has made an impressionable start.


20.) 19 Aug 2022 19:54:34
Breaking our transfer record by selling multiple players as always is the way. We are on the edge of really weakening our squad, I appreciate we can't be like the City, Chelsea, Newcastle and whoever else. But as we saw two years ago, a few injuries and we are just not good enough! Has that really been sorted this year? A young right back who is injured and has played a year of professional football in Scotland but is absolutely fine to cover TAA. Carvalho is a very good young talent but again first year playing premier league football and our squad isn't weakened?
Love how no one can dare be negative or have an opinion about our transfers.


21.) 19 Aug 2022 19:58:43
This thread is awful. Frode, you talk some absolute rubbish! Sick of the bs being spouted on here by some so-called fans of our club. All you do is whinge. Couple of off results and you jump on the bandwagon. You ain't fans, just trolls who shouldn't bother supporting our club. If you don't like it then do one.


22.) 19 Aug 2022 20:22:23
Flash the club didn't announce a rebuild. Lying journalists like Pearce did.


23.) 19 Aug 2022 20:55:55
Don't go upsetting the superfans because we nearly won the PL and CL with the same squad which isn't technically true. Nunez, Carvalho and Ramsey weren't here last season and Mane is gone. Konate and Jota are here a while so I don't see why they're considered new signings. Nunez, Carvalho and Ramsey might do great things but it's certainly not the same squad as last season as some people will have you believe.


24.) 19 Aug 2022 21:29:30
I love when someone spouts nonsense their defence is 'buh, why can't I have an opinion? "

Yeah, you can have an opinion. But if it's based on rubbish, such as a non existent statement that 2022 would be a rebuild year, expect other people to state their opinion that your opinion is tripe.


25.) 19 Aug 2022 23:10:17
Who have we sold to pay for Nunez, KloppsGlasses?
Mane? We sold him for a lot less than we paid for Nunez and we've had the best years out of Mane.


26.) 19 Aug 2022 23:23:34
ORT, So basically Mane has gone. What’s your point exactly?


27.) 19 Aug 2022 23:24:16
It's awful indeed @Marty. The sense of entitlement and desire for the instant gratification of another midfielder is pathetic. People are entitled to opinions but when it's the same old, same old everyday it's just tedious and for them to think that they know better than Klopp is ridiculous.


28.) 20 Aug 2022 05:05:49
As recently as May Pearce was saying he expected a midfielder to come in. In an Athletic Q and A, he said, "I'm not aware of interest in De Jong. However I do expect Liverpool to strengthen that area of the squad" (in addition to Carvalho by the way) . These journos just read tea leaves and lie. I will try to find the quotes he made about this being a mini-rebuild from last summer. I will probably have to look through his old tweets but I do remember him saying something like that.

{Ed001's Note - and yet people still believe anything they say which fits their own agenda.}


29.) 20 Aug 2022 06:01:18
The big rebuilt is the new stand.
We sold Mane for 30m
Neco williams for 17m
Minamino for 17m
That is £64m paid upfront for Nunez

Carvalho was 7m
Ransey was 7m.

{Ed001's Note - except none of that is remotely true. Transfers do not work like that in reality and your prices are all wrong.}


30.) 20 Aug 2022 08:14:06
Klopps done an amazing job here and for me he could have the job for as long as he wished.

My only worry over him is the guy now looks so stressed and sometimes snappy. I’ve been following all of his pre and post match interviews for the last handful of games and even if a journalist tries to have a bit of fun with him or even asks a stupid question he bites back where years ago he used to be full of smiles and sarcasm.

I totally get it must be tedious after doing these interviews for so many years but It’s very rarely now we get to see that big Klopp smile. Personally I’d love to see more of it.


31.) 20 Aug 2022 08:39:29
I’d be snappy too with FSG as owners.


32.) 20 Aug 2022 08:41:27
My point is it's not the same team or squad that nearly won 4 trophies. Mane has left and three were added. Stop using it as an excuse for bad results even if the performance against Crystal Palace was much improved on Fulham. We don't say it's the same team that nearly didn't make the CL only for Becker.


33.) 20 Aug 2022 15:30:30
I do think FSG have not funded enough transfers in recent years, I do get that C.V. has badly affected them and that’s fair enough. But to not bring in a midfielder aged 23-27 who is good already is very disappointing and deserves criticism.

{Ed002's Note - It is not the decision of the owners.}


 

 

28 Jan 2022 09:26:02
Great signing IMO if we do get Diaz.

Think he is a very similar player to Raphina at Leeds who we were also interested in.

Eds, in your view who is the better player between the two?

Thanks.

KloppsGlasses

{Ed001's Note - they play opposite sides of the pitch.}


1.) 28 Jan 2022 09:52:36
From the little i've seen of Diaz he reminds me of Pedro Neto. Exciting player for sure. His goal records stands up to any winger in Europe this season, minuz Salah. Weaker league on paper i guess but the goals are the same size in the Prem 🤷🏻‍♂️.


2.) 28 Jan 2022 09:52:43
Can only mean Mane is going in the summer i imagine. I’m glad we’re moving for a left sided attacker and not a right sided one, given Salah virtually never misses a game and Gordon provides very ample backup when taking that into consideration. Looks like a good signing and i’ll be very happy if it gets over the line, although i am surprised we’re moving for a forward before another midfielder, given the issues we’ve had in that position this season. Maybe they’re waiting to free up space and get some more wages off the books in that position before making a move.

{Ed0666's Note - you really think Gordan is ample back up to Salah mate?


3.) 28 Jan 2022 10:36:55
Question is can Diaz consistently pass the ball to one of our own players? All of our front 3 struggle with this and it’s an area we massively need to improve on. We need to get some creativity in the front 3 to make up for the lack of it from midfield without Thiago.

{Ed0666's Note - I think you’ll find Diaz is creative.


4.) 28 Jan 2022 10:50:56
For me it doesn’t necessarily mean Mane is going. After all Mane is a RW so if Salah goes (after all he’s worth the most and it’s public knowledge he’s demanding more than owners are willing to pay him) then Mane moves back to his natural position.

For me personally I’d rather lose Bobby, Ox, Mino, Origi, Kieta and Milner saving roughly 700k a week plus whatever we get for them in transfer money.

Salah wants 400k a week which is 200k more than what he’s on so we take that out of the 700k we save and bring in a midfielder or two and utilise Elliot and Jones more.

Give Mane a new contract as he’s our 10th highest paid player so clearly money means little to him and next season we have freshened up the midfield and our front 3 is any of Mane, Salah, Jota and Diaz with Elliot and Jones able to Step in with Gordon if am I’m just curse strikes the forward line.


5.) 28 Jan 2022 10:04:15
Given that Salah doesn’t really miss games, i think so. Would seem a bit of a waste to spend all that money in the position of the best player in the world, as much as i think Raphinha and Bowen are excellent players. We’ve got too many other problems in the team to do that. Gordon actually looks like he’s got it and i hope that in another 6 months time he’ll be in the position Elliott and Jones are in now. I’ve been very impressed with him.


6.) 28 Jan 2022 11:03:07
Personally don’t think Gordon is that good yet. Looks very lightweight. I would suggest Elliot would be better standing in on the right for the few games Salah misses. Think Elliot lacks a bit of physical presence atm to play in a midfield 3 consistently,

{Ed0666's Note - I think Gordan is no way ready yet. He’s super raw but will benefit from training with the first team and playing in the national cup competitions.


7.) 28 Jan 2022 11:26:20
With Gordon at the club and Salah being everpresent i would let the kid be backup to Mo, we have to give him a pathway like the way the likes of Greenwood and Saka got their chances. its what Klopp is going to do anyway, he's not going to buy a top player to play the handful of games Salah misses every year.

{Ed0666's Note - I agree. Elliot and Gordan are plenty back up for the right hand side.


8.) 28 Jan 2022 14:06:59
Gordon is a kid and super raw so let's allow the kid grow and develop in peace before people start crowning him as backup to whoever or comparing him/ his situation to whatever rival youngster that I personally, don't care about. This is the type of unnecessary pressure many put on these kids and if they are not reaching the heights we set for them fast enuff, the fangs come out and people suddenly want them gone. See Curtis Jones.

As for Diaz and who he replaces, let's wait and see what happens with Sadio in the summer and Salah's contract situation cos right now, it's all speculation. Who knows, we may just keep both Sadio and Salah and still add another forward.

Now the dust has settled and I've had a word with myself I've come to this conclusion.

Still disappointed we didn't capitalise in the market when we were at our peak of champions of everything, however.

I'd much rather have a talented young scouser in Curtis Jones and a young supremely talented liverpool fan in harvey elliott to rely on than some £60m signing that doesn't care one bit about us other than the money.

The squad although thin, is capable of winning things just got to prey for no injuries.

No use moaning about it though is there mate, the C.V. scuppered our chances of strengthening while on top and robbed us of a proper celebration too. It’s cruel but let’s just hope we can get right back up amongst it this season.

{Ed014's Note - you’re already up there.


2.) 01 Sep 2021 13:18:26
Very happy to have both Jones and Elliot, they will both be needed this season.


3.) 01 Sep 2021 13:30:47
We’ve taken 4 more points than we did in the reciprocating games last season against Burnley and Chelsea, so that’s a good start, I still think Chelsea are the favourites as they’ve got the best balance and more quality in depth than we do in midfield and attack and Lukaku is a flat track bully so he’s going to fill his boots against the lower teams which is largely where titles are won.

But saying that, there’s something to be said for being written off and an underdog…if we’re not in shouting distance of the top by January then questions of the owners can be asked, but If things in the league are going well, then it’s a risk that paid off.

I also think we have to bin off the domestic cups as soon as possible to focus on the big competitions. No point risking any of Alisson, VVD, Matip, Robbo, TAA, Henderson, Fabinho, Salah, Mane or Jota in those games.

I do still think it’s better to not spend than to waste money on players who aren’t good enough, so not buying Sanches and Traore will be good decisions in the long term.


4.) 01 Sep 2021 13:50:52
They really need to learn from the Chelsea match though we should have easily beaten them and if we continue to play like that we have no hope this season IMO. Totally toothless upfront again reminded me of our dip in form last season against Atletico Madrid and others we looked void of ideas. Sunday’s game has left a sour taste as I have seen this sort of performance quite a lot last season they just looked as if they didn’t believe they could get a goal. We have dropped so many points like this in games we should have won but somehow escape us really hope we can have a good season I just think the players need a bit more belief. Want to add that Elliot could be a big player for us this season in unlocking teams sitting back and Mané really needs to practice his finishing maybe training alone with just a goalkeeper a few seasons a week also it seems he plays better when Naby is playing as well a strange problem is Mané at the moment has just lost his way. Wow more moaning but at least it is not about transfers.


5.) 01 Sep 2021 15:03:21
Fully agree with the OP and VVVV. Arnoldoza321, there was no way we were going to beat that Chelsea team the way they were organised and disciplined and also, not all teams will be as defensively sound with 10 men as Chelsea are even tho, I agree we need to play better.

I think the game came too early cos Hendo, Thiago and Fab are still not fully fit while Bobbie got injured which kind of messed up our subs. I also think Mane played well esp till the hr mark and began to tire. In the end, we got 4 more points than we did in both games last season so that is a good positive. I’m excited for the season.

Please don't say anything negative about our owners, you will be labelled as someone that just doesn't understand.

They are brilliant and have really capitalised whilst we were on top. Hope our fall from grace affects them financially cos that's all they care about.

Depends on who and how many are brought in. We needed midfielders before anyone was sold.
Bit concerned we are losing experience and leadership. Don't see many in the squad that have that. Never been impressed when Virgil has been captain.

Like I say all rests on who comes in. Lavia and another isn't enough.

Mad how a year ago we came so close but so far to winning everything and going In the history books forever. To then what happened this season, we need to add some real world class players to this squad and that first 11. Going to get even more difficult year on year to win anything. Unfortunately I fear our owners will leave us behind.

Why is it a disgrace to buy a player, play him and then he not get in the team, how on gods earth do you know what goes on behind the scenes? Not like Klopp is going to come out and say Fabio isn't playing because he doesn't fit in our now system and there are better players than him.

And imagine the uproar if we had let him go somewhere else in January and then get a load of injuries.

He also could have turned us down.

Ridiculous post.

Is there any stability? I'm still struggling to understand why we have lost two sporting directors, data analysts and most of the medical team. Billy hogan also taken out of his role to focus on the sale of the club which isn't happening. Doesn't seem very stable up top to me. Would love to know the reasoning behind all of this.
