There are rumours szlob isn’t happy at the club. Obviously probably a load of rubbish but I am glad it is not some of the other players. We would be fine without Szlob I even think Elliot is better imo. Szlob has been non existent for a while now.
1.) 03 Apr 2024 19:44:07
I heard the rumours last week. Szlob was brilliant when he first signed but he got played every min of every game due to injuries and suspensions of others can’t blame him for being fatigued and getting injured. Next season is the time to judge him ( if he still here) and I don’t agree on the Elliot shout.
2.) 03 Apr 2024 20:00:16
Weren't you saying the same thing about Mac Allister a couple of months ago?
3.) 03 Apr 2024 20:33:01
I’m calling bs on it all . Like when we played real in the champions league always story’s of salah leaving on the weeks prior .
4.) 03 Apr 2024 21:13:22
It was an April fools on twitter.
5.) 03 Apr 2024 21:58:46
What reasons would he have to be unhappy?
6.) 03 Apr 2024 23:36:49
Ridiculous. Szbo hasn't stood out as he did at the start of the season but he is playing well. Full of energy and pressing. I would imagine a new manager may play him as a more creative type but he is doing what he is asked in his role to a really high ability.
Elliot is also a great option to have but why does it have to be one or the other? Both excellent players to have in our squad.
7.) 04 Apr 2024 06:31:20
Spot on Z9 - he plays footy for a living so wouldn’t have any cares in the world.
8.) 04 Apr 2024 07:08:25
Still waiting for a sensible post from the "former scout".
9.) 04 Apr 2024 12:09:31
Klopp is playing him out of position and on a short leash at the moment.
For me the big question is what will happen when Trent returns from injury. He doesn't defend like Bradley and prefers to come into midfield.
Salah, Bradley and Big Mac have a good understanding going down the right hand side, creating triangles and making space, where does Trent play now?
Instead of Domo who runs up and down the pitch all game? I don't think so.
Has Trent become a rotational player for the rest of the season?
Go ahead abuse me :)
10.) 04 Apr 2024 12:33:53
I think Trent has to fight his way back into the team rather than assume he will just play.
15 Oct 2023 09:39:43
Rumours surfacing again of interest in Leroy Sane do we know if he looking to move on from Bayern? Also have we had any interest in Pedro Neto he would be my number one choice if he can have a season without any injury looks like he is ready for a step up. Obviously scratching my head about who could possibly replace Salah.
1.) 15 Oct 2023 16:21:38
Would rather rumours about a Qatar takeover talked about if I’m honest.
2.) 15 Oct 2023 18:43:42
Really, you’d want a Qatar takeover?
God some of our fans are weird.
3.) 15 Oct 2023 19:38:17
The issue with Sane seems to be attitude - sounds like Mane.
He is going to be 28.
Maybe Klopp thinks an older head is needed to help all of the youngsters? Would make sense.
Let’s see what transpires….
4.) 15 Oct 2023 22:28:12
Sane isn’t an older wiser head, he’s a disruptive influence and given his unsavoury remarks he said to Sadio Mane (which ended up in Sane getting beat down), he’s not a particularly pleasant person. I’m sure there’s multiple better options than him.
5.) 16 Oct 2023 10:52:50
Hi Victor! *waves* long time no moan.
6.) 16 Oct 2023 18:17:16
Don't want Sane or a quatar takeover tbh.
7.) 16 Oct 2023 12:21:20
£250m from the lads with the oil and sign Mbappe.
8.) 16 Oct 2023 13:24:48
@Zed, so you are saying he’s 27 ?. To put it into context, he’s 2 years older than Trent and 5 years younger than VVD.
9.) 16 Oct 2023 19:43:30
This is a really good question. If the sheik’s who pulled out of United came in for an offer to buy LFC would you be for or against a bid? And probably a? For eds2 do you know if they are still looking at buying a premier league club?
{Ed002's Note - There are no offers from Liverpool from Sheik Yerbouti.}
10.) 16 Oct 2023 21:09:03
WDW, you have cunningly seen through my numerical linguistics ?.
11.) 16 Oct 2023 22:45:14
Don’t see why anyone is weird for wanting FSG out the club they’ve taken LFC as far as they can and we are grateful but it’s time serious mo eh was invested in the squad before other teams leave us behind.
God some LFC fans are such dinosaurs.
12.) 17 Oct 2023 02:24:12
Who said it was weird @White? Are you making stuff up to add credence to your desire to spend ‘serious money’?
As it stands we are 3 points off the top of the table and we’re robbed of at the very least one point by the FA’s own admission. Again are you using fiction to support your opinion that we should spend for the sake of it?
13.) 17 Oct 2023 17:12:48
Zed, are you therefore saying that WDW is a cunning-linguist? ?
(I'm amazed you didn't catch it the first time) .
14.) 18 Oct 2023 09:00:13
the issue seems to be attitude - sounds like Mane'
WHAT?!
What on earth was wrong with Mane? literally left everything on the pitch, led the press, and became one of our all-time top scorers playing from wide. and performed at the highest level for 6 seasons. I just don't get some people.
Also, a Qatar take over would have me supporting Hull City. I would be done.
15.) 18 Oct 2023 11:41:53
Fingers crossed for a big money take over, this is the football world, not real world, we need that money.
16.) 18 Oct 2023 20:05:25
Problem being eventually the top 6 clubs in the prem will be owned by oil rich billionaires meaning million pound a week wages and 500m transfers and refs on 10m a year. Sounds dodgy? Refs in the oil nation states on mega money. Hmm yeah that won't happen.
17.) 20 Oct 2023 14:28:53
Lol ArAy, 'The Cunning Linguists' used to be a pub quiz name used by myself and friends back in the day (20 odd years ago lol, damn I'm old haha)

I think Darwin will spend his entire career in a bad patch. I think we should get Cunha or Isaak.
1.) 27 Dec 2024 14:56:26
He can't spend his entire career in a bad patch because he's already a good patch.
I can live with his bad patch if we keep on winning.
2.) 27 Dec 2024 15:00:06
Isaac is as reliable as jota for being available.
3.) 27 Dec 2024 15:09:49
I don't get why people keep going on about Isak. If he's going anywhere he's probably going to end up at Arsenal and they can have him because 1. We don't need a forward just yet and 2. We want somebody who can stay fit. If we get rid of Jota then fair enough we'll need a forward and we shouldn't be replacing injury prone with injury prone.
4.) 27 Dec 2024 16:34:35
Id love to see us take a punt on someone like Delap at Ipswich.
5.) 27 Dec 2024 16:43:27
I actually had a little look into this yesterday.
Isak has been in the PL now for 2 and a half seasons. His first season he missed 11 games from a thigh injury but over the last season and a half as far as minutes played in the league he’s played more than Diaz, Jota, Nunez and Gakpo.
Last season he missed 6 games with a groin injury and this season 2 so far with a broken toe.
That’s not me saying we should sign Isak but I don’t think Isak is this walking wounded player that is portrayed.
If missing 8 games in a season and a half is injury prone then perhaps we have a few more than just Jota.
6.) 27 Dec 2024 16:59:12
I usually stay out of the conversation, but I just don't agree with the desire to get rid of Nunez.
I absolutely love the guy. And he does miss chances. But, as has been said, he gives tremendous effort and works his butt off for his team. Frankly, I don't mind seeing him in a Firmino-like role where he can score at times, but really helps the wingers flow.
Maybe I'm too sentimental as a fan, but the guy loves the club, works hard for his team and teammates and seems to really love being a Red. I'd rather stand with him than keep going on about selling him because he's worthless.
If he does get replaced, I sincerely hope that the player that comes in plays with the same passion and love of where he is as Nunez does. That is hard to find in the business of professional sports.
7.) 27 Dec 2024 17:09:49
Dbav I’ve never really questioned the other players in our current squads efforts or love for the club though.
8.) 27 Dec 2024 17:23:07
@JK, that's fair, but the squad isn't always like that, and there have been a few in recent memory that may have seen Liverpool as a stepping stone.
Again, I'm likely far too sentimental, but I've never enjoyed fans jumping on a player unless he's showing a lack of desire or commitment. I feel like the tone should be support until they and the club decide to move on.
And part of it is that if things were different, they wouldn't be the same, so there could be an argument to be made that Nunez's performances have been more of a help than a hindrance based on the team's results so far.
9.) 27 Dec 2024 17:41:09
Dbav no worries mate. I’d say that the professionalism and efforts of all our squad (not just Nunez) is what sets us apart from other teams.
100% Nunez has had a positive effect on the team but so has every other player. Just some more than others.
Nunez didn’t start the first 7 games mind Orr leverkusen, City and spurs so there could be an argument that we do pretty well with and without him.
10.) 27 Dec 2024 17:41:21
I don't think Nunez is any better than someone like Benteke he's just in a much better team. A top class 9 has to be a priority in the summer.
11.) 27 Dec 2024 17:48:25
We are top of the league and let’s have it right Darwin has been a big part of that.
12.) 27 Dec 2024 18:00:31
let’s have it right Darwin has been a big part of that.
What kind of part has Salah, Vvd, Grav, Gakpo and Diaz had?
13.) 27 Dec 2024 19:07:56
Sometimes I wish Tris would bring back the thumbs down button.
{Ed001's Note - nothing to do with me mate. I don't see them on the edit page and I wouldn't care one way or the other about them on the page. Thumbs up and down and likes etc just don't interest me in the slightest.}
14.) 27 Dec 2024 19:23:29
Team Nunez here. Totally committed, works hard, great foil in attack, and contributes more than goals. I also think he'll find goal scoring form, he's only 25 after all.
I can almost understand the criticism, but it's not like we're desperate for goals here or that we score less when he plays (maybe someone more industrious can prove me wrong on that) . I also fear this is a grass is greener sentiment from overly critical fans.
What's more concerning is the obsession with Isak on here. I think he'd be terrible for our system. Other than being a poacher, what does he contribute? I'd love one of his fans to point out anything else he contributes off the ball. I just don't see it.
15.) 27 Dec 2024 21:20:28
And on top of that @Snuggle, Isak can go 10 games w/ o scoring and nobody will bat an eyelid. Safe to say that will NOT happen here should we sign him for the fee we are seeing brandied about (100m by some accounts) hence, more expensive than Darwin, btw. He will be getting cooked in the media and it is not clear whether he can deal with that kind of pressure. At least, we know Darwin can do it cos regardless of the dog's abuse he gets, that guy still straps it up and gives his all to hepl the team win.
Also, Isak tho a better finisher and quite versatile, will not be getting the amount of space to run into playing for Newcastle as he would playing for LFC cos well, nobody respects Newcastle that much hence, rarely gets low-blocked. I mean, Ipswich went to to toe will them to begin with.
This is why when I see a player balling out in another team, I don't just check the stats. There are so many other things to consider.
16.) 27 Dec 2024 21:49:19
Every player we have signed in this current squad has more or less balled it at another team or a team that no one respects as you put it Oli.
17.) 28 Dec 2024 00:28:16
JK, that may be true but not all teams are created equal. Macca was balling at Brighton BUT you already knew he can handle extreme amounts of pressure having played a big part in Argentina's WC win, for ex.
Darwin came to Benfica as the most expensive signing in Portuguese league history playing for the biggest club in Portugal and he was able to handle, thrive and succeed with the pressure that came with, as well. Darwin may not be doing as well in the PL but the pressure does not phase him either.
I can keep going but I think you get the point.
18.) 28 Dec 2024 02:15:08
JK, to answer your question, Salah, Vvd, Grav, Gakpo and Diaz have all had big parts to play in us getting to where we are now. Similarly, I would add Kelleher, Allison, TAA, Bradley, Macca, Szob, Jones, Gomez, Jota, and Konate to that list as well. It's a squad game and we wouldn't be first on the PL or CL if we had any passengers in the squad.
I agree with Dbav's sentiment as well. I can't get behind the hounding of players unless they show a distinct lack of professionalism or effort and thankfully, we do not have a player like that currently. Not saying that we can't criticise players or point out their faults but wishing for things like Nunez not being here next season doesn't sit right with me.
19.) 28 Dec 2024 06:58:42
Dracred I’ve not wished for Nunez to not be here next season.
I asked about the parts the others had played because only Nunez got mentioned. He also seems to be the only player mentioned for effort and running like he’s the only one that does it.
20.) 28 Dec 2024 07:05:47
Oli you’ve used two examples. What about Vvd from Southampton, Robbo from Hull, Konate and Szob from Leipzig, Allison from Roma, Jota from Wolves, Diaz from Porto (not the biggest team in Portugal), Elliot from Fulham, Gomez from Charlton, Endo from Stugart, Tsimikas from Olympiakos, Salah from Roma, and Gakpo from Psv
All surely come under the same umbrella of balling it for another team. Or in your words other teams no one respects.
21.) 28 Dec 2024 08:53:39
Sorry JK, that part about not wanting Nunez here wasn't directed to you at all but to other posters on here and on social media in general. Should have made that part clearer in my post.
22.) 28 Dec 2024 09:15:41
Drac no worries mate I thought that mate but just added it into my reply as we were having a good debate.
As it’s said many times before it’s impossible to sense someone’s tone on here so at no point was I snapping back. It’s always great to hear others thoughts and let’s be honest it’s all opinions.
23.) 28 Dec 2024 10:25:44
is that not a reason to bring the thumbs down back ed001? i don't even remember why it was removed but sometimes the thumbs down tells more than the thumbs up will, at least in terms of majority of opinions.
{Ed001's Note - does it matter? It would be better if people actually explained their opinions rather than just voted.}
23 Dec 2024 11:12:54
We get ripped off in most games and then one decision goes our way and then we are told we're getting too much help. This team is fantastic in every department and even when things are going against them, our players still have the will to overcome it and win. I think credit should be given when it is deserved.
1.) 23 Dec 2024 11:38:12
What decision went our way yesterday out of interest? The only mistakes I saw were 1) ref not booking Maddison 2) ref not booking Bissouma and 3) ref not second yellow carding Bergvall.
He gave Spurs every chance to be in that game and let them off for so many cynical fouls that were blatant yellows for stopping our counter attacks. Yet he couldn't wait to (correctly) book Szoboszlai and Gakpo for stopping Spurs counters. The ref was simply useless and clearly incapable of being consistent in front of a large home crowd.
2.) 23 Dec 2024 11:41:27
What decision are you talking about?
3.) 23 Dec 2024 11:52:59
Bah, humbug! ?.
4.) 23 Dec 2024 11:59:17
Exactly, MKS. No conspiracy here BUT this is the same ref who gave a pen to Saints when you can literally argue that Robbo's tackle was outside the box. That's the level of incompetence of all the refs in the PL.
Once again, I have no idea what the "Chief Scout" is talking about.
5.) 23 Dec 2024 12:06:57
The ref had a good game.
6.) 23 Dec 2024 12:26:11
We should all move away from Ref and VAR bashing. It is run by incompetent people and it will stay like that. Nothing is going to change.
Think Ref had a decent game yesterday honestly.
We have it in our hands now to win.
7.) 23 Dec 2024 12:48:33
OliRed, Definitely no conspiracy. He just did what most refs do every week and bowed to the louder crowd when it came to brandishing yellow cards. It wasn't anti-Liverpool, it was just the standard pro-home-team. We'll benefit from it at some stage this season at Anfield. Certainly not a good performance by the standards we should expect at this level, but above average for the sorry state of officiating that we actually have. All of the major decisions were correct, he just lacked consistency.
I'm just dumb struck at what decision the Spurs fans wanted that the OP is referencing. I googled it to see if there was a big furore online, and I found 1 article from a Tottenham fan run news page where they were moaning about a penalty Maddison should've had for an alleged push from Trent. If they're talking about the incident I think they are though, both commentators and the former ref on the Sky coverage unanimously agreed Maddison had tried to buy an penalty and gone down far too easily.
8.) 23 Dec 2024 12:49:53
I’m sure If you gave some people a bag full of money.
They would moan the bag was too heavy.
9.) 23 Dec 2024 12:50:40
I'm with Rome. I thought the ref had a good game and unlike many didn't appear to favour either team. I agree that Maddison should have been booked but I didn't have a problem with anything else. I'd be happy to see him ref more of our games and hopefully he will encourage more young quality refs to come through the system and we can offload the bunch of 'established' jobsworths at the PGMOL.
10.) 23 Dec 2024 12:51:07
Not going to lie. When Diaz scored that opener, I had one eye on the score to see if they removed it at some point after last season ?.
11.) 23 Dec 2024 13:50:15
The ref was awful. There were numerous times when he let them off with blatant yellow card fouls but couldn’t wait to card our players. Bergvall clattered Grav really late in what was a dangerous tackle, yellow all day but no card. Then 5 minutes later he’s getting booked which should’ve been a second yellow. Then at the end he’s pulled someone back (don’t remember who) to stop a break, yellow all day again and nothing! Very strange and massively inconsistent refereeing.
Then we have Mike Dean saying it was the right decision because ‘the game wasn’t going that way’. What?!
I was under the impression that if you grab someone and pull them back to stop a quick break it’s a standard yellow card. I didn’t realise the game had to be going a certain way for that to happen?!
So next time it happens to one of our players we just have to say ‘but ref, the game isn’t going that way’ and it’s all good. No yellow card.
Honestly it’s no wonder we are all pulling our collective hair out with the refs in this country.
12.) 23 Dec 2024 14:01:17
@LFC8, that was funny I must admit.
@MKS. For sure. On the big decisions, the ref got those right. Their fist goal was legit as Macca was just being an idiot trying to con the ref whereas he messed up his first touch which led to being robbed by Maddison who scored. Correct decision.
As for refs being homers, the biggest example of this is John Brooks. The guy shrinks as soon as the home fans gets on his back and then loses control of the game. A lot of them do it but he is the one that has stuck out to me the most.
As for the Trent and Maddison situation? I guess when you get hit for 6, you got to claw at whatever you can get, right?
Still waiting for the "all-seeing" @Nickel berry to tell us what he is on about.
Happy Holidays, btw!
13.) 23 Dec 2024 14:34:15
We shouldn't be surprised about the ref, it happens too often and was always going to be one of them. Luckily we did enough to not give spurs and the ref a chance. Bet he was well pis*Ed off everytime we scored.
{Ed025's Note - you lot never cease to amaze me you know, another great win with scintillating football yet your first thought is that the ref gave you nothing?..bloody hell your entitlement flabbergasts me at times, it always woe is us and everybody hates us or has it in for us, change the record FFS you are top of the league and the champions league as well as still in 2 cups so for me you dont have much to moan about...mind you it has never stopped you in the past, the ref was excellent i thought..
14.) 23 Dec 2024 14:34:35
The ref had a good game. For gawd sake, give it a miss with the ref bashing, it's getting tiresome. He's a young ref starting out. Like I said a few weeks back, every decision is looked at under a microscope, unlike ref's from 20 years ago. Merry Christmas to fellow reds and let's concentrate on the positives in life.
{Ed025's Note - spot on Rome..
15.) 23 Dec 2024 16:00:42
Most fans in the premier league are moaning about the refs ed25 mate, it doesn't matter which set of fans. Why? Because they are useless mate. Not just this game, the vast majority of games it's very rare to see them get it right.
It doesn't matter where in the table we are or what club is supported, the refs as a whole are terrible. You can't blame people for going on about them mate it's not about Liverpool it's about the league.
Plus, we all like a good moan mate, I wouldn't be happy otherwise lol ;) .
{Ed025's Note - lots of supporters do moan about refs Salah but its a lot to do with the under performing of their own team usually mate(something that cant be leveled at Liverpool), you lot just like to moan because of your sense of entitlement and the paranoia that epitomizes your fans, its also down to players play acting pretending to be injured getting supporters riled that there is an injustice done (see McAllister), and while there is a case for the refereeing being poor i thought the young guy who officiated your game yesterday was actually very good..
16.) 23 Dec 2024 16:27:15
Rome/ Ed025, He booked Gakpo minutes after letting Maddison get away with a near identical challenge and he let Bergvall off a second yellow for the exact same thing he booked Szoboszlai for. He also let Bissouma off for a cynical clip of the heels from behind, that is a yellow card 9 times out of 10 in every game I've ever watched. In my mind, being inconsistent doesn't qualify a good performance, never mind an excellent performance, but it's a subjective debate so I can accept that this is just my opinion. You two don't have the authority over refereeing assessments so stop trying to censor the discussion. You're both also dramatizing the reactions of others to make yourselves seem like the only reasonable people which is just gaslighting because nobody here has been remotely unreasonable. Nobody here made this an anti-Liverpool thing. Me and Oli both stated that very clearly, and Beckers made it clear he was questioning the overall quality of officiating with his closing statement. You both trying to rephrase our comments into being something they're not, doesn't wash with me. You're belittling others for clout on the internet from people you don't know. What do you gain from such arrogance? Funnily enough, I'm yet to see anyone specify why/ how they thought the ref had a good game. If you're so sure you are right, then why did your replies target us as individuals, instead of making counter arguments? You must have some pretty solid reasoning after all, to be calling other peoples character into question over a bloody civil discussion on football forum.
{Ed025's Note - nobody said it was set in stone MK just like most things they were opinions based on what we watched, the fact is yours and others will always be tainted by those red spectacles you wear mate, i have never heard you say that you got away with one when a decision went for you...that says everything, climbing into bed with Oli does not make you the Batman and Robin of these pages in a quest to fight for justice it just makes you as thick as thieves imo, listen im not saying the ref was perfect just that as a young man trying his best he done a very good job, but thats just my opinion and you are entitled to yours..
17.) 23 Dec 2024 17:26:59
I thought the ref was good, didn’t seem overly phased by the occasion or speed of the game. The 2nd yellow for the pull back in injury time was an odd one in that I wouldn’t want any player sent off for a technical yellow in injury time when they are 3 goals behind but at the same time it does look very inconsistent and tbh I just hate Mike Deans explanations of decisions in general because he would try tell you black is white in defence of refs decisions. In my opinion I’d like to see refs have a bit more flexibility but this is always rattled off as inconsistent and you can be sure the next match Liverpool will have a player do the same thing and get a yellow and there will be an uprising.
18.) 23 Dec 2024 17:30:28
Salah, you didn’t say anything wrong mate. When VAR was in the pipeline I heard so many people say that a huge part of football was debating controversial refereeing decisions after the game with your mates. Literally every fan base does it to an equal extent. Yet for some reason we have to listen to “LiVArpool” all the time and we can’t say anything or counter decisions that went for us by bringing up ones that went against us. Rival fans literally chant “who’s the Scouser in the black” but the moment a Liverpool fan questions a referee, people roll out the “victim mentality” card. We all know that this attitude towards us as a fan base stemmed from the Hillsborough slurs originally, but now it’s just become fashionable for rivals to pretend we all act like victims. It’s just boring reading it all the time. Ref chat is just a part of football. Sadly a small minority of Liverpool fans are starting to go along with it for an easier life and that only vindicates our rivals to say these slurs more. I’m just done reading it to be honest.
19.) 23 Dec 2024 17:44:30
Ed25 couldn't agree anymore. Let's just enjoy the football, certainly ahead of where I thought we would be at least for now anyway.
{Ed025's Note - you are having a great season Walter...enjoy mate..
20.) 23 Dec 2024 18:01:29
You are spot on, Ed025.
It's embarrassing. So much for being humble, eh?
{Ed025's Note - well i think so Rigsby, mind you im an Evertonian mate so humble goes with the territory i suppose...im a modern day Uriah Heap.. :)
21.) 23 Dec 2024 18:15:34
Ed025, I agree with every word you say, mate. I am the World's biggest moaner and am the archetypal moaning ol git, but the amount of paranoia and "everyone hates us" on here beggars belief. The reason why some supporters do dislike is because of this type of belief. We are possibly the best side in Europe at this moment in time, let's cherish it while it lasts and, please, please, please stop the paranoia.
{Ed025's Note - im with you Rome, just watch and enjoy it i say mate, it has the makings of a stellar season i feel..

Lad's sometimes the ref and VAR bashing gets a bit tedious. As some of the above posters have said it's being run by incompetent people and there's not much we can do about it just play our game and get on with it. As for the ref yesterday I thought that he had a good game so let's leave it and that and enjoy our victory with some excellent football thrown in for good measure YNWA.
{Ed025's Note - amen to that Barry mate..
23.) 23 Dec 2024 18:50:33
I didn’t even notice the ref, was a great game of football.
24.) 23 Dec 2024 18:44:13
Let's just enjoy the footie Ed0025 cause we all know that we can't fix the refs??.
{Ed025's Note - im all for that Bazza mate..
25.) 23 Dec 2024 18:45:42
Ed25 all I saw was us smashing spurs at their ground 6-3 and could have scored 10. Not sure why anyone cares what the ref did ?.
{Ed025's Note - funny enough thats what i saw 1jj, i actually thought you were going to score every time you attacked mate..
26.) 23 Dec 2024 18:59:12
If people want to see bad decisions from over the weekend look no further than VARs failure to intervene, award a penalty and send off that hatchet man Pickford! Absolutely disgraceful decision, he literally did the same thing as he did to Virg but lucklily the player got out of the way and was now to avert danger, honestly a shocking decision which inadvertently went our way with Chelsea dropping points.
Honourable mention to VAR overseeing Brighton game who deemed a two footed, studs up tackle at shin height just a yellow card?
No conspiracy here just poor VAR, I feel sorry for the refs on the pitch to be honest.
{Ed025's Note - i dont recall Pickers getting even booked for that Dow-ney, maybe because he never touched him?, it could have been a ghost challenge i suppose in which case he should have booked Jacob Marley mate..
27.) 23 Dec 2024 19:13:41
I also thought the ref had a decent game.
Not sure what others are watching to complain.
28.) 23 Dec 2024 20:08:03
My bad Pickford might not have even been booked but he couldn’t have been booked unless a foul was given and a penalty awarded.
Not being smart Ed but do you genuinely think that wasn’t a penalty for Chelsea?
{Ed025's Note - absolutely not Dow-ney i dont think anyone even appealed for a foul mate, he approached him to try and smother the ball as far as i am aware..
29.) 23 Dec 2024 20:09:43
I can’t speak for anyone else but my post was not a moan it was an observation. How that has been spun into me being paranoid or acting like a victim is beyond me.
Some will say the ref had a decent game because we won the game comfortably and there were a couple of decent decision that went our way. Trent on Maddison and Szob on Son being the two I can recall.
However if you look at his performance as a whole it was the inconsistency that was infuriating. You can’t say a ref had a good game when he was letting things go and then booking someone for the exact same thing minutes later, then not booking someone for the exact same thing minutes after that!
It’s not a moan, or entitlement or paranoia it’s just rank bad refereeing!
30.) 23 Dec 2024 20:32:47
Fair enough Ed, I don’t know I’d say have another look because after watching it back I’m at a loss to see how VAR didn’t intervene? Anyways my comment wasn’t supposed to be Pickford specific but more about how poor VAR are for everyone. To be fair I can see why refs in the moment make poor calls because the game is moving a mile a minute and these lads have to try keep up with professional athletes and then make judgment calls on a split second incident, not to mention doing it for a sustained 90+ minutes week in week out.
I think VAR hub is the big issue, this whole threshold, don’t want to re-ref a game, clear and obvious mess…. i wish they would just show the incident on a big screen, max of 30 seconds and let the on field ref decide if he feels the decision is correct, it wouldn’t be perfect and we would still have mistakes but atleast it’s the one ref making the call. Right now we have this bull of, if the ref was called to the monitor he probably would have changed his mind but VAR didn’t feel it was clear and obvious, cut out the middle man and just let him decide. I actually think it would speed things up, nobody want to see VAR review something for 2.5 minutes and then recommend whatever they feel necessary, no slow motion, no 10,000 angles and replay after replay, let the ref see it again and if he is happy then move on and if he needs more time then he can pause play etc.
Anyways rant over lol.
{Ed025's Note - if they showed incidents on the big screen Dow-ney there would be iron girder in the crowd i expect mate so thats a no go for me, its far from perfect though i agree and the standards all around must improve, its a very difficult job though and the media scrutiny is beyond the pale imo, its a hell of a lot of pressure and get it wrong and you will have thousands of supporters baying for your blood, i would personally have a season without VAR and see how that goes as for me it just doesn,t work with the idiots running it, just my take though..
31.) 23 Dec 2024 20:59:28
Beckers, they’re just gaslighting you mate. A post went up claiming Spurs fans felt hard done by. A few people (you and I included) simply pointed out where we felt the ref had made some minor mistakes that went in Spurs favour to counter it. It’s not like anyone here went out and started a thread to specifically moan about the referee. It’s just a sad Evertonian who should know better than to feed the “Scouse victims” nonsense, and some teachers pets kissing a55. Nobody ever kicks off like this when Ed001 mention bad refereeing in his match reviews. It’d be very boring on here if we all had the same opinion or were too scared to talk about mistakes from players/ refs in fear of being accused of abuse or victim mentality. Tiresome is an understatement. Funny thing is, to this point you and I are the only people on the thread who’ve actually pointed out specific moments the ref did well. Go figure.
{Ed025's Note - sad Evertonian hey?, i never mentioned the victims narrative but if you can make other things up then why not that as well?, i have always respected your posts actually but i dont know whether its your time of the month or just that you got beat up as a kid but you are totally out of order..
32.) 23 Dec 2024 21:02:27
And Ed25 you constantly criticise us for our red tinted specs but if you honestly think that challenge from Pickford was not even a foul then we all have confirmation that anything you say is hugely biased towards the blue side.
Contact doesn’t matter, that was wreckless, overly aggressive, dangerous and spiteful. Everything a red card should be. Gusto was lucky he managed to jump out of the way because had Pickford caught him that could’ve been a career ending challenge. Yet your blue tinted specs are so blue that you didn’t even see a foul?
I’m sorry mate but you’ve let yourself down there. It was a disgraceful challenge with no regard for the welfare of a fellow professional.
{Ed025's Note - you need to get a life BP, so if a guy is dressed up in a ghost costume on halloween and shouts boo to someone should they be dragged away by the police?, its the same intimidation im afraid, what a total snowflake you really are mate, contact does matter for me..
33.) 23 Dec 2024 21:35:58
I am anything but a snowflake Ed25 I am always saying how soft the game has gone and that red cards are given too easily these days.
I am also always saying that red cards should be reserved for wreckless, dangerous actions that endanger the opponent through the negligence of the perpetrator. This one from Pickford is exactly what we want stamped out of the game. It was a disgusting challenge and makes me angry just watching it. He couldn’t care less if he snaps Gusto’s leg in two, he even looks away as he jumps in so is not in control. It’s a cowardly, spiteful challenge and deserves more than a red card and a 3 match ban for me. It was that bad.
As for your analogy about a ghost, what utter nonsense is that?
If you swing a punch but miss does that make it ok? If you try to shoot someone but miss is that fine?
It’s the action that should be punished not the result and that action from Pickford could’ve had dire consequences. If you let that go and allow people to go in like that it’s only a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured.
But as long as it’s not an Everton player I’m sure that won’t bother you anyway.
{Ed025's Note - what a crock of shit, how if you dont catch the person can you be sent off FFS, lmplying to tackle, tackling with intent to get the ball?, or maybe just scaring the opponent just in case he does tackle you?, maybe before that they should clamp down on serial cheats like McAllister for rolling around pretending to be hurt but lying through his teeth? now that would improve the game..
34.) 23 Dec 2024 21:46:16
"Me and Oli both stated that very clearly, and Beckers made it clear he was questioning the overall quality of officiating with his closing statement. "
"Sadly a small minority of Liverpool fans are starting to go along with it for an easier life and that only vindicates our rivals to say these slurs more. "
"Trying to rephrase our comments into being something they're not, doesn't wash with me.
Me neither on the last quote, mate. MKS, I could copy paste your whole post BUT I think you get the point.
All we both did was speak on observations about the officiating in the game which was inconsistent not just vs Spurs and how it translates across the whole league, as an opinion. Not sure how people lost their marbles nor where all name calling and ad-hominem attacks, came from.
Keep speaking your mind, mate. Never stop.
Happy Holidays!
35.) 23 Dec 2024 22:01:51
Some of you should remember that this thread started with the words 'we get ripped off in most games'.
And some of you should remember that this is a banter site. Fans of other clubs have the right to give us stick as we have the right to laugh at City, United and Everton; as we do.
Folk are going on about Spurs fans moaning about the ref and moaning about refs themselves.
I think it's strange that we batter Spurs at home- even though their defence was decimated by injuries and they only played on Thursday night- and fans are still getting infuriated.
36.) 23 Dec 2024 22:12:32
Ed025, did you proof read your first comment on Salah’s post? You basically wrote the definition of a victim mentality out in full length and then blanket applied it over the whole fan base for good measure. That last comment you just sent to me? C’mon man, I’m not even getting into that. Not at all a proportional reaction to what’s going on here.
Merry Christmas, Ed025. It’s not the time of year for this. Enjoy the time with your loved ones.
{Ed025's Note - all the best to you and yours MK mate..

OliRed, or should I say Robin (shotgun I’m Batman), I really don’t get the reaction either mate. Should’ve been a pretty civil debate about the quality of refereeing in the Premier League. Oh well. Merry Christmas mate.

How can anyone start an argument after a thrilling 6-3 away win?
Baffling.
39.) 23 Dec 2024 22:11:29
Ed, annoying as diving is it’s not physically hurting anyone. No one has ever dived and ended someone else’s career.
People have however, jumped into tackles with reckless abandon and ended people’s careers.
You’re just embarrassing yourself in your attempts to defend the indefensible.
{Ed025's Note - not if they dont make contact BP, stop digging mate..
40.) 23 Dec 2024 23:04:40
I’ll come at it from a referee and a refs perspective if I may.
I thought it was a pen TAA on Maddison
The referee not booking Spurs players for mandatory yellow cards when preventing counter attacks with cynical pulls or fouls I cannot understand and as MK stated he did caution Liverpool players for identical fouls.
Now to the football, Liverpool scored 6 but were yet again low on the conversion of guilt edged chances. As Ed025 said we should have scored on almost every attack. I think scoring less than 8 or 9 was poor considering there were 2 1v1 chances and numerous shots from 12-15 yards out.
As for Pickford, they correctly assessed that on MoTD2 it was another lunge out of control similar to the VVD challenge that put him out for a long period. I think he was lucky he only just caught the player as the Chelsea lad jumped high to avoid it. For me if an outfield player does that then it’s serious foul play and a red card, therefore Pickford should have been sent off for endangering an opponents safety. Ed025 won’t want to admit that because Pickford is such a crucial player for Everton and so he can’t afford him suspended.
I will accept the red tinted glasses comment and conspiracy theory accusations for 2 reasons
1) I do believe the PGMOL cheat, Coote has been caught and they’ve tried to make him look like a lone wolf but he is not. I’ve worked with some of these referees in the past and I can absolutely believe they would and do cheat
2) the second is simple, I’ll accept having red conspiracy specs on when Ed025 admits his blue specs and blue Santa hat are the reasons behind him defending Pickford, as Pickford has those
deliberately trying to injure a fellow professional challenges in him and that’s indefensible
Merry Christmas Reds and Blues, here’s to the continued demise of both manc clubs. Cheers gentlemen.
41.) 24 Dec 2024 02:55:17
Well, that escalated! it's not like Ed25 to get daft in the moment but it is what it is - uncalled for. Wise posts from both MK and BP.
Many people follow suit to say what others want to hear, I like to be straight up - the refs are sh*te. I'd be one of the first people to say if a ref had a good game but unfortunately it's rare.
42.) 24 Dec 2024 09:51:08
I'll say this thread has to be bookmarked.
Really funny serious discussion from first to last.
Happy Christmas!
43.) 24 Dec 2024 10:05:15
There is no real reason @Flash - it’s weird.
The thing is there is a lot of conditioned response whenever we play. Whenever we win the majority of posts still focus on what, in the opinion of fans, went wrong. Similarly, the referee is always against us. People have a view and they just regurgitate the view based upon what they thought they were going to see rather than what actually happens.
The Spurs game was excellent entertainment. If anybody likes football they should have enjoyed that game. To me that’s a self-evident truth. The referee. trying to cheat and rob us wasn’t, for me at least, quite as self evident.
44.) 24 Dec 2024 10:28:44
Revisionism at its finest, MK?
BP said he found the referee 'infuriating'.
You don't get our reaction to your reactions but we have to get your reactions? All the emotional stuff is coming from you, Robin and Beckers.
I enjoyed the game on Sunday and I didn't feel compelled to start moaning about the referee but each their own, mate.
Happy Olidays!
45.) 24 Dec 2024 14:53:45
You may want to re-read the entire thread, Rigsby, the emotional ones are most certainly not the people you have mentioned.
Flock of sheep. Always the same posters.
46.) 24 Dec 2024 15:46:48
I've re-read it, Salah, and my opinion hasn't changed.
Who was infuriated and who is moaning about gaslighting?
Some of you struggle with posters that disagree with you. How sensitive do you have to be to talk about gaslighting for saying the ref had a decent game?
I respect your right to your views on referees but what makes you any more right than the refs? The contentious decisions were subjective. I can live with the odd yellow card going against us, especially when we are top of the League. We get them in our favour too.
Why are you making differences of opinions personal, Salah?
Surely it's good for the forum for us to hear other views even if we mightn't agree with them.
You never know, we might all even learn something ?.
All the best to you anyway, Salah ?.
47.) 24 Dec 2024 17:58:36
Lol rigsby, look how this thread went when people had opinions - because a few people had the opinion of the ref been bad, everybody jumped on Ed25's bandwagon saying he wasn't bad - hence my 'flock of sheep' comment. It appears you lot don't like to hear other peoples opinions so there's no debate here, no point even talking about it when you can't accept how other people think.
Personally I don't really care if anybody disagrees with me mate, I get disagreed with multiple times daily lol I'm quite used to it but don't expect to be able to talk about opinions when you can't handle it been one other than yours. That's obviously not directed at just you - multiple posters this thread.
All the very best to you too Rigsby. Aside from all of this we all want the same thing, we're all here to discuss a team we support no matter whether we agree or disagree - I disagree with you a lot but value your input as much as I do Leeks ? only messing mate. Have a good one.
{Ed025's Note - its just opinions Salah, its nothing to get upset about mate, just like arseholes...we all have one.. :)
17 Dec 2024 12:00:48
What does everyone make of the referees trying to influence the title race with dodgy decisions? It does feel like they would try anything in their power to try to stop us winning a football match.
Also quite funny City are crap all of a sudden, maybe some 'benefits' being sent to officials have been stopped during the court case?
1.) 17 Dec 2024 13:01:57
I do think they are corruption in some way but to all teams not just us. You could literally make an argument that they corrupt every weekend as some of the decisions and explanations and cover ups are just unbelievable!
2.) 17 Dec 2024 13:12:10
I think they're just crap and instead of admitting they are crap, they try to hide it by being even more crap.
I do think there are some inherent biases amongst refs too and that some clubs and players get worse treatment than others.
Not convinced there's a single explicit bias though.
PGMOL is a failing organisation that needs replacing. The AI ref cannot come quick enough.
3.) 17 Dec 2024 13:16:31
The financial charges hearing finished earlier on this month so it's got bugger all to do with that.

5.) 17 Dec 2024 13:43:46
Sorry NicolBecker Glory, I do not believe any of that is happening. They are simply rank in competent and inconsistent, all in the same games they do individually.
Now what I do believe is that their incompetence is being protected by the VAR cos now, the VAR seems to validate the wretched decisions they make by blatantly not interfering when we all think they should and this is all across the league.
So even tho we can see their mistakes, they will always come back with, "it does not reach the threshold of blah, blah" just to protect the howlers they make. Just my take.
6.) 17 Dec 2024 13:48:10

8.) 17 Dec 2024 14:09:20
Offences shouldn’t be allowed to be interpreted. Ball touches arm handball. If you hold onto someone ( in the area needs stamping out) it’s obstruction and a foul. If your kicked it’s a foul. If var catches you diving or simulating contact and going down it’s a foul. Offside is offside. No confusion then. Any official balls it up can be punished why should clubs/ fans be punished for a ref mistake. Stop trying to be clever and giving them rules “ interpretation “ to hide behind. Level playing field for us all.
9.) 17 Dec 2024 14:13:43

10.) 17 Dec 2024 14:43:18
I'm with you, Irish.
11.) 17 Dec 2024 14:53:31
What about if a player is tapped and he goes down? Is that a foul or simulation?. Of course there is going to be some sort of interpretation. Does the ref look at VAR for any type of simulation or foul anywhere on the pitch or just in the box?
If ex players can’t even agree sometimes if it’s a penalty or not or a sending off then what makes you think a ref can?
12.) 17 Dec 2024 15:07:34
@ Irish rover. There lies the problem. If a player is tapped it’s a foul. Simulation if an arm hits you in the chest and you clutch your face simulation. Easy init. Don’t give the cheats the option. Don’t tap them.
13.) 17 Dec 2024 15:18:30
City are crap because they go to pieces once they’re not allowed to boss possession and realise they don’t have the legs in midfield to cover the huge gaps they leave in behind. Really it’s very similar to what happened to us, but city’s entire team are deeply uncomfortable having to turn and have players run at them. Of course it doesn’t help when the entire team is totally bereft of confidence and pep sticks the one guy on the team with zero defensive acumen at left back. It’s fun watching haaland get dominated by slabhead though haha.
14.) 17 Dec 2024 15:33:15
I think they are primarily substandard with some corrupt but I also think many of the rules are also too open for interpretation resulting in inconsistency.
15.) 17 Dec 2024 15:40:06

16.) 17 Dec 2024 15:48:51
We will have to disagree on what we class as simulation then . If a player is tapped and he goes down I call it cheating ?♂️.
17.) 17 Dec 2024 16:31:20
You've changed your mind since the Spurs games last season, then, Oli?
You said they were corrupt then.
18.) 17 Dec 2024 22:00:03

19.) 18 Dec 2024 11:50:28
Rigsby, I often don't respond to your obsessive nonsense about me BUT here, I must respond.
Now you are going to have to prove to me where or in what post I said the refs were corrupt in the fallout of the Spurs game last season.
If you can prove it with actual quotes and empirical evidence then, fair enuff I will accept it. I'll wait.
20.) 18 Dec 2024 13:15:47
Oli, you said on the 1st October, 2023:
'Ed01, I guess the so called conspiracy theories about City being able to pay off whoever they want to get the result required were actually a thing, the whole time'.
Is that empirical enough for you?
21.) 18 Dec 2024 21:09:55
Nope, that was a tongue in cheek comment cos Ed01 has always said that there is corruption in English football. So all I did was feed into his narrative with that comment, if I remember correctly. Close BUT no cigar, mate.
And even if I changed my mind, what's wrong with that? Many of us thought Robbo deserved the red card only to get more information about the play and many of us changed our minds later. Or should we have kept sticking to our guns when the facts changed like you do?
22.) 18 Dec 2024 23:57:25
You were feeding into an Ed's narrative, Oli? That's not like you! ?
Why don't you just own your comments, lad? Then again, you don't even know what you said or why so why should you.
Btw, what facts changed about the Robbo red card? How did the facts change? A fact is a fact, isn't it?
Do you mean your interpretation of the facts changed?
Again?

Hahaha, this turned into a funny thread. Keep going Rigsby and Oli lol ?.
13 Dec 2024 11:55:06
Endo is a bang average player who is great for the bench but should not be starting any games unless a dead rubber. People wanting a player to play because they feel sorry for him is ridiculous.
1.) 13 Dec 2024 12:06:23
Couldn’t agree more. The only reason Klopp played him was because Mc Allister flopped in the deeper role and the Caicedo money in the bank was busy laying eggs.
2.) 13 Dec 2024 12:19:31
You have to start with your strongest team every game and make subs after that. Am sure Endo know when he joined that he was always going to be a It will be a player coming off the bench. Interesting to see who gets picked up front when jota is fully fit and up to speed.
3.) 13 Dec 2024 12:41:41
He's not a bang average player at all. That's a really poor statement to make about a guy who has captained Stuttgart and the Japan National team, and was a huge part of why we won the League Cup last season as he put in one of the best individual performances I've ever seen in a Cup final by pocketing Palmer, Caicedo and Enzo.
Endo does not suit Slot's style of play at all, and I'm all for replacing him with a more suitable player. Calling him bang average though is quite simply bang out of order.
{Ed001's Note - he dominated Rodri when we faced them last season, it is a moronic statement to suggest he is bang average.}
4.) 13 Dec 2024 13:05:20
Wow, you must have a short memory because last season he was excellent for us. Now he's not playing he's a bang average player? unbelievable.
5.) 13 Dec 2024 13:51:45
I think without Endo we would have been in a lot of trouble last season. He plays with his heart. There are many teams that would love a player like him at this time - including Citeh.
6.) 13 Dec 2024 13:53:03
Absolute joke of a post from the world class scout again, the man came with almost the entire fanbase saying he was going to be a bust and that he was going to be old, slow and immobile, he then went on to put in a few man of the match performances and showed us that he can pass the ball forward and retain possession much better than anybody anticipated. Give him some respect, he was one of the top performing midfielders in the bundesliga for years and adored by one of the most passionate fanbases in German football. Some people on here are just starving for attention.
7.) 13 Dec 2024 14:08:46
Endo will start at least 2 of our next 7 fixtures along with lots of other players needing minutes.
Slots getting criticism for not rotating the players enough but the criticism is coming from the same posters that are telling us we are top of the PL and CL.
Perhaps if we had rotated more then we might not be top or we could be even further ahead in the league, we’ll never know.
Slot seems to know what he’s doing though.
I think we might see 1 or 2 come in, in January who will be Slots buys and will allow him to rotate more.
Nothing against Endo as he did well for us last season but it looks like he won’t be starting games for Slot unless there is an injury crisis.
8.) 13 Dec 2024 14:32:25

Up the pool.
10.) 13 Dec 2024 14:50:45
Rodri must be below bang average then according to op. He probably just doesn't suit Arne as much. But we should really play him in dead rubbers like yesterday's game.
11.) 13 Dec 2024 15:30:57
Endo carried our midfield during the league cup final. He is an honest, hardworking, battler in midfield and who can play a bit as well, whilst also being strong in the air. The issue with Endo is that he is not very press resistant and is not overly quick.
He is not playing as Slot prefers a ball carrier with more creativity in the deeper role rather than an all out destroyer type.
He deserves more game time based on his quality and attitude. I think it would also be good for Grav in the long term, as I do fear we have an over reliance on him at 6. Giving Endo more time, whether of the bench or starts will help keep grav fresher.
12.) 13 Dec 2024 16:20:58
Was Wed game really a dead rubber?
If we had lost said dead rubber we would only been 3 points ahead of Dortmund who are 9th.
13.) 13 Dec 2024 17:11:32
I must admit lad's I find absolutely ridiculous to suggest that Endo is bang average.
14.) 13 Dec 2024 17:36:26
If anything he may be more of square peg in a round hole in Slot's system. He is captain of Japan so offers leadership skills and a good bloak to have around and hard worker. With Berch's legs getting a little wobbly I think we will see more of him soon.
15.) 13 Dec 2024 18:26:55
Endo owned both City and Chelsea's MF's last season. That he doesn't fit Slots style of play is an issue for him but what a player to have around.
Good luck to him, wherever he goes.

Endo is very good at what he does. It’s a case of what he does isn’t a priority in Slot’s view of how a team should be set up.
I think there is a tendency for some people to form a (slightly) negative of him as he ‘only’ cost £ 16m and not £80m plus.
He can / will do a very good job for someone if he chooses to leave. Really good call by @MKS about the Chelsea match.

I thought City at home last season were one of the best teams I’ve seen come to Anfield.
For the first 25-35 mins KDB was immense.
However we were also immense (including Endo) and it was probably the most exciting 1-1 draw I’ve watched.
19.) 13 Dec 2024 20:32:10
Problem now is that Endo will get pockets of minutes here and there and he’ll have to play like the birth child of mascherano and makelele to turn some fans around lol
Endo isn't bang average. That’s all.

@JK, I think that was the match that Klopp said was the best we’d ever played against them.
21.) 13 Dec 2024 22:58:07
Indeed it was WDW. Was a terrific match.

Bang average international footballer. I honestly think people don't understand the levels. Genuinely people watch a game and believe they'd do something that they couldn't actually do at school boy level. The worst finisher in the worst team is still way better than these people. Better than all of us but somehow only some of us understand this basic fact. Endo bang average is such a pathetic idiotic statement. People are entitled to their opinion but how some people come to them blows my mind.
23.) 13 Dec 2024 23:25:09
Those who dismiss Endo as average, despite all evidence to the contrary, are probably the same individuals who spent 5 years propagandizing a certain “tekkerz” Naby Keita, who, by the way, is now about to wind down his career in the Hungarian league.
People who think Endo is average haven’t got a clue.
24.) 14 Dec 2024 00:28:02
Tbh I don’t think he’s a starter in big games but against smaller teams who want to turn the game into a battle he should play. He should defs be bought on around 60 mins when we are winning rather than 89th min.
25.) 14 Dec 2024 06:35:34
In fairness Lowe. Klopp was one of those ?.
26.) 14 Dec 2024 13:06:41
I don't know the difference between average and bang average but is being an average PL player with the team at the top of the table so bad?
27.) 14 Dec 2024 13:17:40
He is a player who wants to play for the club, is very very very good at what he does and gives everything he has regardless of if it’s for 90 minutes or 9. He doesn’t kick up a fuss, knows his place in the squad and proved a lot of people wrong with regards to his ability. I’d take a player like him every time over a temperamental player looking for a move with a higher ceiling but doesn’t reach it as often.

Nice job, Ed25. I think both alter egos were just trying to draw a reaction.
However, it takes a special type of "Split Personality" to post as someone and then respond as someone else as if that person agreed with you. Now that, I have never seen before.
{Ed025's Note - its a first for me as well Oli..

Diaz and Salah are our best attackers I am absolutely shocked that Diaz is not starting every game - totally bizarre. Mac is kak nuff said.

Tiresome.
2.) 08 Nov 2024 11:26:49
I saw some YT videos where Eliott and Chiesa were back in training.
Are they back from injury and in likely consideration against Villa?
3.) 08 Nov 2024 12:04:09
@Sami, I think after the int'l break for both players, I read somewhere.
@Nickel, can you just make your point w/ o insulting players? Really, is that too much to ask?
4.) 08 Nov 2024 12:16:52
NicolBecker, such a shame that your username comprises 2 of our greatest ever players, when you come out with the guff that you sometimes do. That said, Nicol himself often comes out with absolute tripe.
5.) 08 Nov 2024 13:01:46
You are kak, enough said.
Obvious troll is obvious.
6.) 08 Nov 2024 18:20:06
It is a mint username though, you have to admit.

It takes all sorts Marty but thanks bro. Your posts are truly amazing and if I was you I would be looking at bringing out a book. Could do better than Pep Ljinders you never know. Also please look forward to more of my words of wisdom in the future you may learn a thing or two to add to your book mate.

Real Madrid are not even that good anymore so he would be leaving to a worse football team than he is already at? That seems a bit daft to me but have tbh Trent has never struck me as being very bright. If he leaves I can only hope he doesn’t win another trophy in his career.
07 Nov 2024 11:18:48
Hoovering up everyone’s rejects will only work for so long they have a poor squad except for Saka and Saliba maybe why they cheat throughout every match.
07 Nov 2024 11:42:48
Nowhere near good enough for Liverpool and that price quoted is ridiculous. A very inconsistent player with no notable good attributes and his petulant sending off the other week shows he is also brainless. No thanks.

Happy Christmas from St Ives Cornwall originally from Anfield but moved to Widnes Hough Green then wound up here. Hope everyone has a buzzing day.

I thought Chiesa looked good when he came on plenty of effort and pace could have had a couple of goals especially if Szlob passed to him on the break instead of Gakpo. Imo it was a brilliant performance from Enrico for his first game in months. If he stays fit he will be a real bonus for the team. He looks at home already with that 2nd half performance.
15 Dec 2024 11:36:16
It’s Liverpool what do you expect from these officials. I just love how we manage so defy all odds even if the ref is against us and we are down to 10 men. A true warrior club unlike any other out there. Absolutely love how we stick it to the cheats week in week out. Good guys do win sometimes.

Anyone that knows anything about football knows that Mbappe was a totally average player and never ever had the ability to play in the premier league. Why do you think he didn’t want to leave France.
10 Nov 2024 13:33:21
Tbh the guy on the right I think Kane-Doherty was man of the match and got his goal that was well deserved after his incredible performance was the best player on the pitch but they were all fantastic. At the moment we have the best adults in the world and the best kiddies. The best ran club in the UK how good is that to know!
