With a negative hat on, I do worry how we ultimately replace some of our generational talents over the next few years. It took 25 odd years to adequately replace Barnes at lw (with Mane), Souness/ McMahon at dm (with Fabinho), Hansen (with Virgil, though Hyppia was pretty good) . And left back was a disaster until Robbo arrived.

I'll bet you anything you never leave your house ever, for fear of everything that could possibly happen to you.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Take that first step forward. ?.
2.) 01 May 2025 20:28:59
To be fair mate them guys were the buck cats.
3.) 01 May 2025 20:35:55
The op has honest fears for the future of the club nothing wrong with that.
Short memories fans have. For 30 years we mucked it up and it could happen again.
4.) 01 May 2025 20:44:47
We definitely had players before the Klopp era who were good enough to win the league. Hyypia and Carragher were probably a good enough first choice CB partnership to win the league, for example. Hyypia and Henchoz probably were too.
I think they weren't matched with a coach who could win the league (Souness, Rodgers, Houllier, arguably Evans and Rafa) or with ownership who could provide a stable enough platform to win the league (H&G)
{Ed001's Note - there is no way Hyypia and Carragher were good enough, they were far too slow.}
5.) 01 May 2025 20:56:18
Was waiting on that ?.
6.) 01 May 2025 21:17:21
With certain fans around, there's no chance we can have short memories, because they always make sure with reminders.
7.) 01 May 2025 21:31:42
I am pretty sure we are not going to go and dominate world football for the next 30 years. But I am also pretty sure that we are in a much better place to remain competitive over the coming years due to how we are run.
8.) 01 May 2025 22:24:53
Exactly Faith. We just need to enjoy winning the league.
It’s a bit sad if people can’t enjoy the present for fear of what might happen in the future.
One thing is for certain, we will endure bad times in the future. We won’t win the league every year until the end of time which makes it all the more important to enjoy the here and now.
We are Champions, breath it in and enjoy it because it definitely won’t last forever.
9.) 01 May 2025 22:45:16
How do you replace Gerrard, how do you replace Torres, Suarez, Coutinho.
Players come and go.
We’ve always replaced them. In general you improve the squad, you adapt the tactics and move on.
I’ve no concerned, the club is stable, the coaches are doing well. Complete opposite to ManU.
10.) 01 May 2025 23:37:34
Hyypia would be within a shout he was brilliant, carra on the other hand was dreadful bar Istanbul were the Milan side were aged so once the game entered the later stages qe had the advantage.
Honestly one of the worst defenders we had on a par with the likes of biscan and traore and only wasn’t sold because he was a bully he thought he ran the dressing room, henchoz for example was much better as was Finnan at Rb.
11.) 01 May 2025 23:52:28
Bjornebye wasn’t a terrible left back. Ziegle was solid until he got injured, as was Mr Glass (Aurelio) but none were a patch on Alan Kennedy.
12.) 02 May 2025 01:38:24
Fabio aurelio was a brilliant player, if only he could stay fit. No love for momo sissoko in the 6 position?
Also I would say that at one point we had the best midfield in Europe with masch, Stevie and xabi, with the deadliest striker in Europe up top.
13.) 02 May 2025 06:30:13
I mean two of our biggest worldies have literally just signed on for another 2 years, Christ ?
Wtf is the point of worrying about what state we’ll be in in 3 seasons time?
Enjoy them whilst their here and have those fears if we haven’t adequately replaced them a smidge closer to the time.
14.) 02 May 2025 07:39:50
That is some post, L29.
Well done ?.
15.) 02 May 2025 08:29:01
Rafa was close to building a title winning side, just a little too negative in his approach at times, particularly at Anfield.
16.) 02 May 2025 09:32:40
Terrible human and terrible player who “ran” the dressing room during our worst period in the modern era, just my opinion of course I know others say he was on of the all time greats I fail to see it.
17.) 02 May 2025 10:15:38
Monstersouness, why are you wearing a negative hat in the midst of all this positivity, to begin with?
26 Apr 2025 18:34:03
Fascinating semi-final. Wharton really does look like a player.
1.) 26 Apr 2025 18:49:00
I know he missed the pen, but for me Mateta is putting in a real striker's performance.
MOTD's fever, call it what you will, but I wouldn't mind seeing him in a Liverpool shirt. A shame he is 27, if he were younger, there would be a pile on for his signature.
2.) 26 Apr 2025 18:44:48
Cracking game in fairness.
Crazy how the other semi kicks off at the same time tomorrow as what could potentially be the PL title decider game.
3.) 26 Apr 2025 19:33:33
Back in the day the FA Cup semi final had the weekend to themselves (I think ?) . You would hope a bit of common sense would have the games at different times at least ?♂️.
4.) 26 Apr 2025 23:04:12
I’d of thought for the fans sake City v Forrest would be the Saturday as they have to travel further, with the Villa v Palace on the Sunday given the geographical distance.
25 Apr 2025 19:05:45
I think it has gone a little under the radar how incredible our midfield unit has been this season - particularly so, given our issues at CF and LB. Grav has rightly had a lot of praise, but Mac and Slob have been astounding. Our midfield has bulldozed teams and controlled games. Not easy in a league which in my view has never had such strength in depth.
I think that trio is now a step ahead of the Jordan-Fabinho-GW outfit. Which is saying something. They remind me of 80s Liverpool midfield - horrible to play against, and always on the front foot. Slot may like a more measured approach, but there has been little aimless side-passing during this campaign.
1.) 25 Apr 2025 20:05:34
You wouldn't think it with all the doom and gloom on here. Apparently all those midfielders you've mentioned aren't good enough so who knows how we've won the league?
A big part of how good they've been is because of how much effort they put in. They press, hassle and run their socks off. It might not always look great but it is effective.
2.) 25 Apr 2025 21:41:07
Szob hasn’t been great. The whole midfield need to score more goals but especially him.
3.) 25 Apr 2025 21:59:12
Think szob has been pretty good myself. A bit more self belief and to shot more often, but overall he's a good player. Great engine.
4.) 25 Apr 2025 22:38:30
People were slating Szob at the start of the season, then when he was out for a few weeks people released how much we miss him when he's not there.
5.) 26 Apr 2025 08:05:25
Tô be honest it's a midfield dependant almost entirely on running. There's little guild or finesse in it. Szobozslai is the perfect example. It is purely his stamina that is useful because he's not particularly good at anything else.
For some reason when the player is foreign and has one attribute (running) we call him world class, when he's Scouse and is only good at running we call him jay spearing.
Mac and grav are both technically gifted players who can run with the ball, pick out a pass. Dom is stamina really, which is why when his battery runs low he doesn't offer anything else and becomes a hinderence.
6.) 26 Apr 2025 09:03:52
Nevada - comparing Szobozslai with Jay Spearing just makes you sound like an idiot.
7.) 26 Apr 2025 09:44:06
This season I've read on here that MacAllister is crap and Szoboszlai needs replacing. Yet both players are a part of the midfield that's just about strolled the toughest league to win.
Is it that we are so good that we can cruise the hardest league by 13 points while carrying 2 players and effectively just playing with 9 players every game, or is it just that some can't recognise a quality player when he's right in front of their eyes?
You simply don't win this league with passengers in your side.
8.) 26 Apr 2025 12:14:10
Brommers, exactly. As much as I agree with the OP's comment, could have fooled me with all the abject hate this title-winning midfied gets on the regular.
Now even on this same thread, we have someone comparing Szobo with Jay Spearing. Seriously you may not rate Szobo or the midfield BUT what are we doing here?
23 Apr 2025 23:08:09
We have just won the title. Arsenal can now only match the points we already have - and they are wildly behind us on GD.
Time to celebrate.
1.) 24 Apr 2025 02:24:09
4 behind us on goal difference chief but never catching us and never where they going to.
Next season will be Liverpool and City top two!
2.) 24 Apr 2025 04:58:47
The goal difference is 10 actually. Can’t you do basic maths?
3.) 24 Apr 2025 07:02:07
The goal difference is all but irrelevant now. If we lose all four games and Arsenal win all four then they most likely better our goal difference.
4.) 24 Apr 2025 12:39:44
Correct kimos.
20 Apr 2025 18:38:26
Delighted for Trent. He's handled this whole tricky situation with dignity, and it is clear how much he wants to deliver another title before heading on. He's achieved so much for us: he may just want a new challenge. Like Souness moving to Samporia.
1.) 20 Apr 2025 18:52:53
Theres no tricky situation. He's chosen to leave us in his prime to go to Madrid. When he goes, he's gone. That team needs serious investment. Too many dead performances but the quaulty or lack of upfront is really eye opening now. Salahs been poor for several games now for his standard but what have the others offered? Imagine if arsenal were a lot closer. We need two attackers, lb and possibly 2 midfielders. Sobosli does not offer enough either. There's a good few areas we can improve.
2.) 20 Apr 2025 19:00:04
Could not agree more mate. Wonderful player and bloke in my opinion. Couldn’t be happier for him, he’s leaving of course, but in the end so what, every player does. 100 goal involvements in 350 games for a right back, absolutely sensational. We may not see his like again for a very long time. Except we have Connor, that’s the bar lad…. gulp. Yet somehow I think he might just get there and that’s the brilliance of being us right now.
3.) 20 Apr 2025 19:01:42
Souness was slowing down when he moved to Sampdoria.
4.) 20 Apr 2025 19:05:12
Trent has 3 goals and 6 assists in the PL this season. Bra.
5.) 20 Apr 2025 19:05:28
Bradley can better that.
6.) 20 Apr 2025 19:05:48
Didn’t souness move because he didn’t like being dropped?
7.) 20 Apr 2025 19:15:49
I would imagine if Arsenal were a lot closer then you might see a more focused Liverpool. The team has played really well for most of the season, they are now trying to coast to the finish line.
8.) 20 Apr 2025 19:17:01
The Souness comparison couldn’t be more wrong if you tried. Souness moved on at the end of his career and we got a very good fee for him. Arnold is in his prime and he’s going for nothing. I don’t wish him well if he leaves. If he stays, great, if he goes then I hope it goes badly.
9.) 20 Apr 2025 19:37:31
I couldn’t care less about Trent, I only want players who want to play for the club and I gather he doesn’t, otherwise he’d be more definitive in his answers. He’ll keep quiet until the end of the season to avoid any adverse reactions and then give us some rubbish letter. It’s also nothing like Souness leaving for Sampdoria.
10.) 20 Apr 2025 19:38:16
That is a very jaundiced and bitter view. In view off that I hope you have a terrible nights sleep.
11.) 20 Apr 2025 19:47:17
The team one win away from winning the Premiership at Easter needs serious investment.
Can't quite get my head around that one.
12.) 20 Apr 2025 19:50:51
VV, that’s awfully mean-spirited. Trent has played around the same amount of games Souness played for us. He wants an easier league, and one which helps his international chances. Good luck to the lad - he is a class act (on and off the pitch), and I wish him well.
13.) 20 Apr 2025 19:56:45
Agree Irish and VV.
14.) 20 Apr 2025 20:08:42
@Batman, what’s the point in imagining Arsenal being a lot closer to us? They aren’t and the reason they aren’t is because the team you are slagging off have only lost 2 out of 33 league games this season, have scored more goals than anybody else in the league, have the 2nd lowest number of goals conceded in the leagues and have the best goal difference in the league.
15.) 20 Apr 2025 20:10:01
Posters still think Trent might stay n treating him like a brother going off to war or something stupid like that. he's gone but for no fee. an absolute disgrace .
16.) 21 Apr 2025 00:16:42
TAA going off without the club getting a fee, is more on the club's management, than on TAA. They knew the expiry date of the contract the day it was signed. They had easily 2 years to take care of the issue. But couldn't. End of story.
17.) 21 Apr 2025 09:36:28
Souness never left to play in another league he left because his wife inherited millions and would be taxed heavily on her money .

Other signings as exciting as Wirtz? Only Bastoni and Isak tick that box, and I can’t see either happening. I think Gordon is a smashing player - horrible to play against. And I do wonder if we actually see him as someone ready to play as a 9 in our system? Would explain why we were in for him last year when we were - and still are - stacked with left wingers.
We are in need of pace on the break, and Frimpong will help hugely on that front. So, Gordon would seem to make sense.
30 Apr 2025 18:49:19
Is the scouting of a cf the most difficult job in football? Since Suarez and Sturridge (who pushed to bring them in? ), we haven’t signed a successful cf. Bobby was an attacking midfielder; Salah, Gakpo and Mane wingers.
And apart from the Sturridge, Suarez, Torres blitz have we made a successful cf signing since Aldrich? Cisse, Nunez, Benteke, Morientes, Keane, Collymore, Saunders, Carroll all looked great - but less so with us.
Feels to me that banking down on anything but a proven cf rarely works.
20 Apr 2025 18:59:25
Szobo’s form for 75% of the season is why we are 1 win away from the title. His hard running style means he burns out in the final third of a season - which is something we need to address if we want to win Champs League.
14 Apr 2025 16:26:58
The frustration is that there is clearly a player in there. His 2 goals against Newcastle were superb, and his lunacy was endearing. I just feel we didn’t factor in that he was going to struggle learning a new language, and he consequently ended up being an expensive Origi.
28 Mar 2025 19:08:17
Huisjen is very young, no? As Quansah - and many other young cbs - have shown: one good season doesn’t guarantee true greatness. It’s such a tough job, mentally and physically, that it’s often hard to get a handle on who is great until they are 25-26.
Not sure Virgil had clubs pounding after him in his early years. When it comes to cbs, it’s the one position you need to pay big for when they are mature, and they know exactly what player they can be.

If Mark 08 is what this club has become, then I am done with it. If being a fan is now about anonymously abusing one of our greats, then good luck to you. I just can’t align myself with such values - which, frankly, I think are totally alien to this city’s heritage.
11 May 2025 20:53:06
Ed 25, Everton was never an option as my oldest brother already supported them, and he was, still is, quite an unusual character.
{Ed025's Note - looks like you missed out big time MS.. :)
11 May 2025 20:42:09
So what if they did? Doesn’t mean we have to do the same to a lad who has been a true legend, and just wants to try himself out in a different league. It’s a total stain.
As an Irish lad, it was always a choice between United, Arsenal and Liverpool - but my Dad told me that Liverpool fans always gave ex-players a huge reception, so my mind was made up.
That has been blown asunder today. Genuinely heartbroken.
11 May 2025 20:10:15
The United fan is right. Absolute stain on the Liverpool fans today. Have supported the club for 40 plus years, and this has tarnished the season for me.
Do these twits boo Klopp when he returns? I mean he also left having given a decade of success when he just needed a fresh challenge.
If this is what the fanbase has become, then I will no longer feel so sentimental about the emotional connection the fans have with our players.
The twits today were not in the minority - loads of people rich enough to secure a ticket booed one of our greats when the game was in the balance.
Bet those fans can’t wait to get home and tell their kids / parents how they stuck it to Trent today.
Absolute trash merchants.
10 May 2025 19:10:10
My issue with Arteta is that he looks identical to Ted Bundy - but his team doesn’t have the same killer instinct. Eddie Howe plays the same cynical football way more effectively. I would worry if Howe went to Arsenal - he’d be the one to turn them into grindhouse winners.
