Jota will go through tomorrow morning. I reckon I’ve worked it out on my own insider knowledge:

I got my mum and dad the anfield stadium tour for my dads birthday and I’d booked it for 11am tomorrow morning. Then someone from the anfield office rang me today asking to rearrange because the stadium was going to be closed for some ‘operational thing’ - he didn’t give any specifics.

They must be closing it to the public so they can do the pictures for jota inside the changing rooms/ tunnel/ pitch etc!

Can he play against Chelsea he was signed tonight.


2.) 18 Sep 2020 23:43:26
Old school rumour right there.


3.) 19 Sep 2020 01:50:21
Jota can't be included vs Chelsea as the deadline to have players registered to feature this weekend was 12 noon on Friday. Thiago was signed in time but any player coming in since 12pm can't be involved.


4.) 19 Sep 2020 02:48:34
This has been a great transfer window, wow - the players that might not make the bench!


5.) 19 Sep 2020 03:20:47
Sorry to hear Diogo's tour has delayed your Dad's birthday tour. Many happy returns! I'm sure he'll make it up to him with some delightful goals and assists.
Maybe even starting against Lincoln! Hooray! :)


6.) 19 Sep 2020 03:24:10
Love it.


7.) 19 Sep 2020 07:49:18
Don’t think Thiago was done in time. Klopp said he couldn’t be part of the squad in his interview. Although I guess Klopp could be mistaken. Either way, I doubt he will be included until he gets some training with the team. Hope I’m wrong though.


8.) 19 Sep 2020 10:06:25
Sorry to put a negative on things. Jota is a very inconsistent player. On his day he’s right up there, but he doesn’t have many of them. He’ll be warming the bench for most of the time Nuno’s just got the deal of a lifetime.


9.) 19 Sep 2020 11:29:41
That's okay, PNA. There's always one. But if we actually deal in facts then Jota's statistics are actually very similar to Mane's when at Southampton. Klopp and his coaches didn't do too bad a job of turning him into a top player now did they?


10.) 19 Sep 2020 11:25:54
@PNA. Isn't that what Klopp and the coaching staff are employed to sort out?

You could have said the same thing about Wijnaldum when he was at Newcastle, but he's been very consistent. Also Mane was only flashes of brilliance here and there when he was at Southampton. Having better players around you brings out the best in you.


11.) 20 Sep 2020 03:34:06
Jota is only 23 yet has played a lot of football for last 4 or 5 years where it is uncommon to see players have consistency at that young age. Were the likes of salah, mane, de bruyne, son or the other best league attackers playing at a consistent level in the top leagues between the age of 20 and 23? Consistency is a trait that is demanded with more experience and young players should get less scrutiny at that age. It becomes an issue if there's no improvement over next couple of seasons. I know jota can look electric in 1 game and then be quiet for another 2 or 3 which is not good enough for our level but his output each season shows he can rack up good numbers for such a young age. His role at wolves wasn't always the best system for him to flourish and I think it's clear that his strenghts are far more likely to fit into how we set up. The energy and support that Robertson and our midfield will bring when combining from the left side and Firmino or whoever else creating spaces for him while salah or mane looking to give him options he could become far more effective and consistent. Jimenez was nearly always the only quality he had to work with in attack and with midfielders who never run beyond the ball in support. Mane was very similar in terms of going hot and cold until he settled at us where we lined up with different players and tactical approach that lifted his game.


 

 

02 Dec 2018 08:54:32
With Salah saying he ‘cant say what his individual goal is until the end of the season’ and also ‘he knows everything about the last game already’ is this a big hint that he’s gone next summer? Move on to RM or Barcelona and hopefully win the league along the way?

MarkH92

1.) 02 Dec 2018 11:04:35
Don't fall in the silly trap mate, it might drive u mad, what will be will be!, no one bigger than the club and it will be the case til the end of time!

{Ed002's Note - Suarez was bigger than the club if you recall. It got Kenny D a kick in the gonads.}


2.) 02 Dec 2018 12:10:04
I read the interview with Laura Woods, you’re reading far too much into it mate.


3.) 02 Dec 2018 14:31:36
Who confirmed Suarez was bigger than the club ed you by any chance?

{Ed002's Note - I would have thought even you would have remembered how the club continued to support Suarez. How many games was he banned for whilst at Liverpool (25 or so and then a further x month ban that was avoided by his sale). What did he cost the club in reputation? A great deal - dragging the name of the club through the gutter. And the cost in embarrassment of having a player threaten legal action and actively court other clubs? Add to that his keenness to get the club embroiled in a major racial issue with his disgusting abuse of another player. On three occasions, twice as a Liverpool player, he has bitten fellow professionals. He spent 18 months trying to get out of the club and was happy to join Arsenal. And what about how he cost Kenny Dalglish his job? A man who did so much for the club but so many of the supporters were happy to see discarded in favour of the vile little runt. He squats to piss and is a truly appalling excuse for a human being whichever way you look at it.}


4.) 02 Dec 2018 16:07:48
tell us what u really think ed hahahahahahahaha.


5.) 02 Dec 2018 17:13:59
actually ed02 it is 4 times not 3 times that he bit players. i remember ajax too had problem with his attitude. it was a mistake to stand by a player who was dragging us in ground. nothing matters more than the club. even if mr. x is a legend even if he did any small thing which harms clubs reputation action should be taken against him not protecting him. nothing is more important than clubs ed no signle player drags a club alone. unless he is messi or ronaldo. or maybe was dunno. sorry ed02 i know i might get thrashed for supporting you but its the truth.

{Ed002's Note - I don't recall four times but will take your word for it.}


6.) 02 Dec 2018 18:30:34
Haha Haha ed you are a hot head aren't ya, I was trying too say the club will always b here players will come and go in relation too salah and past players, I agree Suarez was brilliant but high maintenance and his actions were wrong and he should of got his punishment and even more and he went on too do it again proves he is a head the ball, clubs sometimes make bad decisions but at the end of the day the club is more powerful than any player and always will be, I am talking about the bigger picture here mate . I mean look at what mourinho doing at United it's all about him and his antics when I was growing up man United where class everywhere off an on the pitch .

{Ed002's Note - You are making yourself look a complete moron with your digs. Your knowledge of the situation at the time is clearly woeful.}


7.) 02 Dec 2018 18:57:47
Erm ok sorry guess I am a moron, cheers thanx for the insult have a great night .

{Ed002's Note - Thanks, you have a nifty evening as well.}


8.) 02 Dec 2018 18:59:07
And my dad supports man United no digs at all I have a lot of respect for them.


9.) 02 Dec 2018 19:15:10
Agreed Ed2, you aren't wrong, Suarez was poison and he dragged the club down to a level I don't ever want to see again. There's no two ways about it, there's the facts and the nonsense and the facts are Suarez was supported far too much whilst he was at Liverpool, he should've been dropped like a hot potato and we should've got rid at the very first opportunity, instead we stood by him which I never understood.


10.) 02 Dec 2018 19:52:01
There’s some moronic comments and some arse licking supporters on here. Suarez is one of the most exciting players I’ve seen play for the club and I’ve watched Liverpool from the early 80’s. yes he had some bad press but I for one loved the bloke for what he did on the pitch and the fact he never gave up. Don’t agree with his antics but that doesn’t take away his skill and the fact he gave everything on the pitch. The reason the club didn’t drop him was he was an asset, one that they did well out of. If salad goes I wish him well and hopefully we do well out of his transfer but I won’t worry about that until it happens.


11.) 02 Dec 2018 20:08:08
Nobody is saying he didn't have skill pegleg, that was clear for everybody to see but it still doesn't take the fact away that he was a horrible little turd who didn't give a damn about the club. I'd rather have somebody with half the skill who appreciates playing for us and who will treat the club with respect over a a great player like Suarez who didn't give a damn about anybody but himself.


12.) 02 Dec 2018 20:11:59
That's kind of what I was trying too say salah mate I loved Suarez and he did some riduculously good things but quickly realised his head was elsewhere and he would do anything too get out, I agree on salah (The real one haha) players come an go an unfortunately if we don't win things we haven't really got a leg too stand on too prevent them, as we have found out too our cost in the past, also i should of stated that in my opinion too me the club is more important above everything and will always be there for us too support and love, if players want too leave then see ya later thanx for the transfer fee and we build again .


13.) 02 Dec 2018 20:43:38
Wow Pegleg - well said mate.
There is quite a lot of "A" lickers and Mob Rule mentality on here.
Saurez had amazing skill and impact when applying himself to actually playing as a footballer should on the pitch.


14.) 02 Dec 2018 23:45:35
Yes ed, Suarez did it Ajax early on in his career.

{Ed002's Note - I know, and achieving and Ivanovic - but who us number 4?}


15.) 03 Dec 2018 11:27:28
Looked everywhere and all I could find was that he has bitten Bakkal (at Ajax), Ivanovic and Chiellini. Maybe the blatant hand ball (for a penalty and red card that was wildly celebrated after it missed) at the World Cup is being confused for a bite?


16.) 03 Dec 2018 10:51:22
I don't think there is a 4th Ed2 mate, not that I can remember anyway.

{Ed002's Note - Not yet, thanks.}


17.) 03 Dec 2018 13:43:52
I'd say let him go. He hasn't filled me with confidence this season. He looks like he can't pass and is only out for himself to score goals. There's only Mane who has shown promise in my eyes out of the front 3. Cash in on him.


18.) 03 Dec 2018 13:51:29
what has Saurez got to do with Salah.


19.) 03 Dec 2018 17:44:22
U missed his wife!


20.) 04 Dec 2018 10:39:19
The one thing I will say in Suarez's favour is that not one Liverpool player who played with him, ever bad mouthed him.

One for the Ed1, if you don’t mind: do you think we have sufficient cover at RB for Trent? I assume klopp is thinking Gomez can cover there as it doesn’t really seem like Neco Williams will be good enough for us. I think I remember Hendo playing there and probably Milner at some point too - he filled in at LB a few seasons ago and did a great job considering it wasn’t his natural position.

Has everyone seen the stat that Trent misplaced 38 passes yesterday? The most by a player in any match this season. I said it a few days ago, but he is not the same player of the last two seasons.

MarkH92

1.) 05 Jan 2021 11:36:39
Class player just out of form, it will com back, he is still young. Concentrate on how poor player like Mane and Salah were, the experience ones.


2.) 05 Jan 2021 11:56:19
Maybe don’t focus too heavily on a couple of poor performances in a blizzard season?

People have easily forgotten how spoilt we’ve been with the level our boys have delivered consistently for 2 years.


3.) 05 Jan 2021 14:13:33
Everyone is saying go full force against Villa. But the way we are playing, what is full force. I would go Nico instead of Trent, and Shaq and Mino instead of Firmino and Salah. Get Hendo back in midfield, and play either Williams or Phillips alongside Fabinio.


4.) 05 Jan 2021 15:59:37
Trent needs a rest. Get on the training pitch for 2 weeks.


 

 

02 Jan 2021 11:09:11
Ed01, if you have the time (! ), just wanted to know your thoughts on Trent’s form this season? Is it a case of he overachieved last year, or has he got a bit complacent?

I think we expect him to be providing assists and scoring free kicks every game, but for me his defending this season has been below his usual standard over the last 18 months.

MarkH92

{Ed001's Note - in what way has his defending been below standard? I really do not see what he is doing so wrong. Seems more like people are making up reasons to criticise him.}


1.) 02 Jan 2021 11:41:22
I thought he was doing OK until that injury he picked up since then he has looked off the pace and not his usual self.


2.) 02 Jan 2021 11:45:08
Here, Here ED - players these days are not allowed to EVER let their standards drop for even a second.


3.) 02 Jan 2021 12:07:36
He isn’t playing to the standards he set last year that is obvious. Andy Robbo is the benchmark for him IMO. But again it’s obvious why he is below his best, no pre season and then injury. I think Trent will be a massive part of our success going forward.


4.) 02 Jan 2021 12:21:28
I don’t think Klopp would let the players allow their standards to drop either.


5.) 02 Jan 2021 12:23:09
He seems below par after his injury! But he’ll get that back!
He could nvr defend either to be fair he needs to let others have a go at the set pieces for a while!


6.) 02 Jan 2021 13:08:34
Hang on, what are yous on about? I watch every minute of every game and must've missed the bit when Trent was poor defensively or made repeated mistakes that led to goals or struggled in a game. His crossing and set pieces have been a bit crap, but will come good again. Defensively okay though, can you give specific examples of what you're referring to?


7.) 02 Jan 2021 15:06:49
"Could never defend either"? Wow. We have some remarkably astute and shrewd observations.


8.) 02 Jan 2021 16:52:57
I can’t think of any reason to criticise Trent this season, I don’t think he’s attacked as much as usual but I think that’s in part to him having to think about who’s playing in the right sided centre back role, I think he’s holding back slightly to protect them, allowing Robbo more freedom to go forward.


9.) 02 Jan 2021 17:35:04
My only thoughts on this are that his set piece work has dropped down a notch. There were some poor corners and free kicks in that Newcastle game the other night. Other than that, still pretty darn decent. A few years ago there’s a chance we’d have lost the games against WBA or NUFC given how tight the final score lines were.


10.) 02 Jan 2021 17:42:14
In my opinion, his defending this year has been below par, but looking into his individual statistics, he is underperforming compared to the last 2 seasons.

2018/ 19 - 29 appearances
3 blocks
35 interceptions
61 tackles
39 tackles won
62 clearances
22 headed clearances
9 aerial duels won

2019/ 20 - 38 appearances
9 blocks
45 interceptions
55 tackles
34 tackles won
70 clearances
29 headed clearances
16 aerial duels won

2020/ 21 - 14 appearances
1 block
18 interceptions
18 tackles
12 tackles won
12 clearances
4 headed clearances
3 aerial duels won

I obviously haven’t included goals against, as our back 5 this year has been hammered. Some would argue that he provides more for us going forwards than at the back, but with our defence so vulnerable, I’d have thought Trent and robbo would have had to contribute at the back a little more. His creative stats are way down this year:

2018/ 19
11 big chances created
12 assists

2019/ 20
18 big chances created
13 assists

2020/ 21
3 big chances created
2 assists.


 

 

21 Dec 2020 11:45:16
Question for Ed01 if you have the time!

With reports resurfacing of Salah being unhappy and wanting to move, who in your opinion would you want the club to get to replace him?

Do you think Jota can step up? Would you be happy if Harvey Elliott was reintegrated into the squad as rotation?

MarkH92

{Ed001's Note - I would be happy with Jota and Elliott to be given the chance to replace him if he went, yes.}


1.) 21 Dec 2020 11:56:39
Are these reports based on the absolutely nothing interview he did with AS? I don't see what interview changed or is there something new today?

There's obviously a case for breaking up some of the current team in the next 12 - 18 months because they're all closing in on 30, and it's likely Jota is part of a pre-planned refresh of our first choice forwards, but I still find it odd that some people have practically been packing Salah's bags for him since he arrived here.


2.) 21 Dec 2020 12:12:26
Seen the reports this morning about him being unhappy and now another media source (Middle Eastern media) are now reporting an interview with him and he’s saying he wants to break all the LFC records. He is going to struggle to do that if he’s not playing for us lol. Personally I think he could be interested in a move away but who could even afford to buy him.


3.) 21 Dec 2020 12:22:50
I don’t think jota or Elliot laces salahs boots Ed! U look at his numbers they are 2nd to none! If he’s unhappy etc move him on but he’d a hard player to replace! I don’t think he’s appreciated enough!

{Ed001's Note - I don't expect him to leave just yet.}


4.) 21 Dec 2020 12:42:34
He must be unhappy because he gets paid loads and wins everything possible with us!


5.) 21 Dec 2020 12:46:14
This all looks more like a nice to get an improved contract with us. If the club is looking to a major rebuild this summer, it's curtains for either Mane or Salah as they are probably our best chance at raising funds. One will get an improved 4 year contract while the other gets sold and replaced with a younger player.
Reading between the lines, Salah seems to want to stay rather than move on. But he also accepts that FSG and Klopp will have the final say on his future.
I just don't see any club having the funds to pay what we would want for Salah in the first place. Mane may not command as high a transfer fee and Zidane's a big fan so he might fancy a move to Madrid.
In an ideal world, I wish we never had to sell either player and give both long term contracts but it is what it is.
Regardless, I trust the concerned people to do what is right for LFc first and foremost.


6.) 21 Dec 2020 13:51:25
It was the interview with some so called Egyptian star player. Seems to me that the media will jump on anything to stir up issues within the club. First jose mind games and now this. Wonder what next.


7.) 21 Dec 2020 13:55:14
I think there are two ways to look at this. You either keep going with Salah, Mane and Firmino until their levels start to drop (and even if they drop a little, they're still better than most other options) and accept that you won't get huge transfer fees for them when they're older, but in return you get to keep their brilliance until they start to decline with age, which isn't likely to be any time soon. In parallel, you have to develop players such as Elliott, or other relatively inexpensive, low profile players and hope that one or two of them become good enough to take over from the current front three in three, four, five years time.

Or you sell Mane and/ or Salah sooner, whilst they are still at their peak value, and then use the money to try to find their replacements, which don't have to be huge £90m+ transfers. Remember Salah, Firmino and Mane themselves, whilst not cheap, were more like mid-tier transfers in terms of price.

Sounds daft to say it but it does sometimes seem like Salah is not fully appreciated. Maybe it's because we hear these rumours from time to time about how he wants to engineer a move to Barcelona or Real. Maybe it's because he can be a bit greedy or selfish with the ball (although his assists stats might suggest otherwise) . Maybe it's the strops we've seen when he's been substituted. Carragher always goes on about Salah's "numbers" and today I saw a stat that shows Salah now has the best return of goals/ assists per match since the Premier League began. If you consider some of the players who have played in the Premier League and the fact that Salah has now done this over a sustained period of time, it's phenomenal. He's also currently on track to be the top scorer in the league for the third time in four seasons. Players like this don't come along very often. I think we should already think of him as a one-off like Suarez, Torres, Gerrard, Rush, Dalglish, be thankful that we have him and have had him for four years, and hope that we still have him for at least another two or three years. When you have a player like this, it is very rarely as simple as just saying let's sell him and use the money to rebuild, because, regardless of how much money you have, it's very difficult to find a player who has so much impact.


8.) 21 Dec 2020 13:59:39
If Barcelona have the money, I can see Mane leaving this summer. They'll have a new president and if they want to make a statement, his signing will certainly be one. And it's not like it'd be a signing out of the blue either, considering that Barcelona have looked at him and a couple of others as Messi replacements, and Messi looks likely to finally leave.


9.) 21 Dec 2020 14:43:07
Think more chance of Salah going than Mane. If I remember correctly Mo was our 2nd or 3rd choice and everyone was moaning not getting first choice ( was it Pepe? ) But klopp has improved them both and I trust him to improve whoever comes into the side .


10.) 21 Dec 2020 14:47:45
We all know he’s agent has been trying he’s best to get him a move to Barcelona or RM but that was before C. V affected the hole world financially. Am guessing he would cost around the 80 mill mark but who has big money nowadays to buy him. Not many I’d say.


11.) 21 Dec 2020 15:14:13
For me, Salah is the best in the world right now. I doubt anyone in management at Liverpool want him to leave and Mane is just as valuable to our style of play. It may be impossible to tie them up long term and we have to understand the financial repercussions of having (few to) no fans in the stands means we may have to let one or both go eventually, but until somebody can hand us 100 million pounds or more a piece, they will be working their socks off for us. Enjoy it while it lasts and pray its a long time from now because we are living a dream we never would have expected 5, 10, 15 years ago.


12.) 21 Dec 2020 15:19:58
Of course it's a possibility that Salah moves next summer, but I still think it's much ado about nothing. A Spanish newspaper interviews him and then asks if he would like to join one of the two Spanish clubs. Journalist doing his job that's all. And Salah answering by basically saying " my options are open". Which they should be. And then a former Egyptian player reinforces he's "in the know" and jumps on the chance to remain relevant. Where's the fire in all this?
We're in the most enviable position in the league (the standings) in probably the most chaotic season ever. That speaks volumes about the solidity of the club Salah plays for. He's smart enough to know this. Aside from Bayern Munich, there's no other club, at present, that can offer the same combo of wages, history, titles, stability and just winning all the time. But yes, let him keep his options open.


13.) 21 Dec 2020 17:17:58
Keep Salah until there is literally no other choice, a phemonemon. His numbers even compared to Mane are on a different planet, for me. on ability alone i would let Manè go well before Salah. Someone above mentioned taking £80m for him, that person must be on some high quality narcotics😁.

{Ed001's Note - probably missed a nought off the end.}


14.) 21 Dec 2020 18:26:15
Mane or Salah are worth around £150/ 200 million. EACH!


15.) 21 Dec 2020 20:18:09
Nothing burger, IMO. No one can afford him under these conditions and I am sure he knows it. Call me back when a bid is made. Till then, this is all just a bunch of white noise that is getting way too much attention than it needs to.


16.) 22 Dec 2020 02:00:09
Swap deal Salah for Mbappe! 😄.

For me (if funds can be found) Mbappe makes sense as a replacement.
His age and so for resale value make sense.
Like I said I fear we just can’t afford him.

Took me long enough to do it - apologies - but thanks for the reply Ed01. If Jota can improve his consistency, and in a couple of years we can rotate with Harvey Elliott (as hopefully he will keep improving his all-round game too), then I think we will have it covered for now.

I think even if mane goes a year or so later, we can even shuffle the team around and play Curtis Jones in the front 3. (I think one poster said he had Bobby-like traits in his game. I actually think CJ has the footwork and brain which I would compare to an in-his-prime Coutinho. )

I always thought the booking was because of sponsorship - the time after a goal goes in is where there is a guaranteed close up of the player wearing the shirt and hence shirt sponsors get the most air time. Maybe I’m wrong, that’s just what I thought someone told me.

{Ed001's Note - no, it was because at one time shirts had a second skin and players struggled to get them back on and it held up restarts massively. I think it was Forlan against us that was one of the biggest culprits for the rule, as he couldn't get his shirt back on and tried to play on without it, iirc.}

Ah ok, I didn’t know that - thought he was just a CB. Cheers for the reply Ed!

Atmosphere in the ground was good. Everyone was clearly excited and up for it. For 12:30 v Burnley, very good, but you can’t compare it to those European nights. That’s why they are so special!

Thinking about this, it seems everyone wants Fabinho to slot straight back into midfield when our defence is back to full strength. I do think Fab’s best position is that holding role in midfield, but do you think he would be taking up the positions to receive the ball that Thiago wants to? I’m wondering if Gini stays, Fab might be the long term partner to VVD at CB, with a midfield 3 of Thiago, Hendo and Gini.

He is our midfield man
He comes from sunny Spain
And he can play
Oh he can play
His name’s Thia-go
Thia-Thia-Thia-go
Thia-go Thia-go
Thia-Thia-Thia-go
Thia-Thia-go.
