Marcelo Pitaluga is set to return back to Fluminense. His loan spells have not gone to plan and looks like Liverpool are ready to offload him.

Wishing him luck back home.


2.) 05 Jan 2025 12:33:16
Left also with a 40% sell on clause, courtesy of Fabrizio Romano.


3.) 06 Jan 2025 13:30:15
Very decent of Romano to ensure that a 40% sell on clause was uncluded in the deal.

Confirmed that Matip is leaving the club. Sad to see him leave but it is the right time.

Joel will always be a Liverpool legend, part of the journey where we won every trophy. YNWA Joel.

He was a good player for the team, legend is a a bit strong imo.


2.) 17 May 2024 10:41:57
At his very best he was decent. Thank you and goodbye
Up the pool.


3.) 17 May 2024 12:19:34
For his output, he earned way too much money from the club seemed to have the life of Riley and only play if he could be bothered. Decent player when he felt like it.


4.) 17 May 2024 13:12:15
He was a good player on his day but will always be remembered for his injuries. His wages are huge so good to get him off the books I guess.


5.) 17 May 2024 13:29:39
Good player for me, only issues were the injurys! Best of luck Joel.


6.) 17 May 2024 14:50:39
MK mentioned the term "cult hero" on the other page and I agree that it suits Matip better than "legend". A good player on his day and definitely gave his all for us throughout his time here even though it was blighted by injuries. Definitely one of the best free transfers we have ever made, almost up there with Milner.


7.) 17 May 2024 15:08:09
Was a good but not great player. Injured too often unfortunately. A good servant.


8.) 17 May 2024 16:01:07
Cult hero fits better than legend. It's more what I meant. There are only about 5 actual legends for me at Liverpool in the history of the team.


9.) 17 May 2024 16:25:05
For me he was best cb at the club rated him higher than virg . Reminded me of Hansen sometimes the way he would carry the ball out from the back. Also I Think the wheels wouldn’t have fell off if he had not got injured this season. He had an assist in the champions league final and did he also get the equaliser v city in charity shied? He is up there for me and moaning about wages, what’s that about? He earned the lucrative contract winning trophies. Love the guy gave me some great moments, brilliant player for us when he was available good luck Joel lad YNWA.


10.) 17 May 2024 16:47:40
Good when fit but made of glass.


11.) 17 May 2024 17:19:16
Good player, did his bit, pity he was made of crisps. Good free transfer whichever way you put it.


12.) 17 May 2024 18:39:01
Best wishes to him. Wasn't he a regular for our prem win season? ⚽️✌.


13.) 18 May 2024 09:39:35
VVD refers to him as a legend…good enough for me.


14.) 18 May 2024 10:50:18
Matip was superb. When fit he was an outstanding player. People who say things like “when he felt like it” are absolute whoppers.

Genuinely excellent. For large periods of his time he was as good as if not better than the best centre half in the world. You lot need a word with yourselves.


15.) 18 May 2024 12:31:53
His wages were only huge because we got him on a free transfer. Put the whole pacakage together and factor in all his injuries but also all the trophies, it was still a very worthwhile signing.


16.) 19 May 2024 01:30:22
"Better than the best centre half in the world"? That makes no sense lol

I'm only mucking about and I know what you mean. This possession style works better with a mario type in the team that can play out from the back. A bit lacking for pave when defending but mostly a very solid player. Shame he had a permanent twisted sock though!

Rumours going round from De Telegraaf that Ajax are talking to Ljinders over the managerial position for next season.

Taurus01

1.) 27 Feb 2024 18:35:17
Good luck to him.
I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea but he’s been an able right hand man to Klopp and they seem to work together well.


2.) 27 Feb 2024 18:37:42
Good, hope he does well. Obviously a man Jurgen respects.


3.) 27 Feb 2024 21:39:57
Am sure he can do a good job there even seven hag did ok there.


4.) 28 Feb 2024 10:17:50
Good luck to him. I hope he does well and the Dutch league is ready for the inverted full-back!


5.) 28 Feb 2024 18:45:17
Brummyred is absolutely right - we’re too exposed with Trent at right back and Robbo at left back. With the pair of them in team we’ll never win anything, except of course:
- the Premier League
- the Champions League
- the European Super Cup
- the World Club Championship
- the FA Cup
- the Carabao Cup
- the Charity Shield.

Dear Ed001/ Ed002

I read today on the BBC that Rabiot's situation at PSG has deteriorated with PSG refusing to play him unless he signs a new contract. It also says Liverpool have been linked with the player for a summer move.

Two questions-
1. Could you see Liverpool moving for him (if we move on a few midfielders first)
2. Are PSG allowed to not play him as he has not signed a contract?

Thanks.

Taurus01

{Ed002's Note - 1. If Liverpool want him he will want to be a starter and that would be a problem unless they move Keita on - it does not seem to be a position that needs strengthening righ now. And with PSG having accused two sides (naming Barcelona as one) of tapping him up perhaps Liverpool would want to deal with the matter carefully if they are to look to him - so I am far from convinced. 2. Of course. It happens all of the time.}


1.) 20 Dec 2018 19:00:28
Thanks for the response Ed.

All,

I was looking at the venues to host Champions League finals in the future and I was elated to discover the venue for the 2019/ 2020 final is the Attaturk stadium! Making the final would truly be special!

Taurus01

1.) 29 Aug 2018 23:24:00
Be great to win there as defending champions 😉.


2.) 30 Aug 2018 07:55:29
We will make the final.


3.) 30 Aug 2018 08:37:57
I wonder if they've done something about the transport issues from last time.


4.) 30 Aug 2018 12:37:54
there'll be enough busses back to the City center at half time this season.


5.) 04 Sep 2018 14:42:57
“I wonder if they've done something about the transport issues from last time. ”

😄 I went with the Irish Liverpool Supporters Club and I was paralytic before the plane took off from Dublin. I had no voice left by the time we landed in Turkey and then had “that” bus journey to sober up.
Greatest 48 hours I can (vaguely) remember 😄.

I'm very late on this one but I didn't realise Pako Ayesteran is Villas assistant to Unai Emery. Was great at Liverpool and it felt like we lost a lot under Rafas reign when Pako left.

To add to barrys post- if memory serves his friendship with jose was the reason he and rafa fell out. We were never the same after.

He was a flop from memory at Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Hi Ed001,

Any chance of an article about the state of fifa in a post Sepp Blatter world? Appreciate this might be hard to do as its very easy to slag off fifa for days.

Thanks.

Taurus01

{Ed001's Note - the only real issue is whether or not it is truly post-Blatter? Infantino was Blatter's protege and I have yet to see any noticeable sign of change under him. Just seems like more of the same.}


1.) 11 Jul 2024 17:14:49
Fair point Ed001. The whole debacle of the Saudi world cup feels like Infantino is no different from Blatter. Actually ridiculous how purposeful a lot of decisions were.

{Ed001's Note - he is just the new Blatter.}


2.) 11 Jul 2024 18:03:33
Still cracks me up that he was played by Tim Roth.


3.) 11 Jul 2024 18:30:24
It didn't start with Blatter either. Go back a further 25 years, to the previous Fifa President, Joao Havelange, and you'll find loads of scandals and instances of corruption. Blatter and Infantino have just kept it going with their time honoured practices.


4.) 11 Jul 2024 21:47:34
Wonder what happened to Sepp Blatter’s sister, Fanny.


5.) 11 Jul 2024 23:00:55
if you read the report about the security issues at the Champions League final in Paris, you will know that nothing has changed under Infantino. If anything he is even more brazen.

{Ed001's Note - Infantino has nothing to do with that, he is FIFA not UEFA.}


6.) 11 Jul 2024 23:30:01
That was the name given to a well hung mate of mine at Uni, Vik.


7.) 12 Jul 2024 14:56:01

Hi Ed001,

After Shaqiris belter yesterday it got me thinking to his time with us. What did you make of his spell? I remember he started so brightly and was playing really well but it kind of faded and it didn't work out.

Always felt like he had lots of talent but maybe either didn't want it hard enough or got a bit lazy in games.

Taurus01

{Ed001's Note - he was always a squad filler, could come in and change a game from the bench but never seemed to perform if starting. He just doesn't have the desire needed to make the most of his talent at club level.}


1.) 20 Jun 2024 11:07:47
A good player but one of those who really does turn it on for country, reminds me of Davor Suker.


2.) 20 Jun 2024 12:44:22
As far as I know, he got a hair transplantation in his final season (or was it the one before? ) with us, which meant he was out "injured" for at least a two month period if memory serves me well. I can't imagine this helped him getting into the team. Good player, but never able to take that step up in a big team (bayern, liverpool, inter)


3.) 20 Jun 2024 13:20:42
Suker scored a goal pretty much every other game at his peak with Seville and Real Madrid. I think you're doing him a disservice here - great player in his prime years.


4.) 20 Jun 2024 13:20:54
Talented footballer with considerable skill and the physique for it, but it always seemed like he had other priorities in life. This I know from his play for Switzerland before he joined LFC. Not always going in sync with whichever team he was playing for.


5.) 20 Jun 2024 19:24:17
He should have played a little bit more. That spell where we played Shaqiri Firmino Mane behind Salah we were fantastic.


6.) 20 Jun 2024 19:41:36
I sincerely hope the ‘hair transplant’ comment is true - it made me laugh.


7.) 20 Jun 2024 19:43:43
I always liked Shaqiri. He's got that X-Factor to light up a game that not many players possess, sort of like Origi or Litmanen, not the best all round players, but you could rely on him to come on and make something happen. We have some great players in the squad but not enough of that sort in my opinion, probably why everyone loves Nunez's 'chaos' factor. It's a bit different from the normal bore off play it safe rubbish that seems to be permeating every facet of the game at the moment. Take a risk, do something mad, when it doesn't work 9/ 10 everyone says your rubbish but when it works oh man it's great. It's that unpredictability that makes me love footy and I don't think there's enough of it around anymore.
Wow that got semi emotional, all from reminiscing about the little Swiss fella with superhero legs lol.


8.) 20 Jun 2024 20:27:35
WDW, it's very much true. In fact, I am pretty sure that during a presser, Klopp mentioned something about Shaqiri not being available because he's not allowed to head the ball. And he did not consult the club before getting it done.


9.) 20 Jun 2024 21:54:52
Shaqiri- The calves don't lie :)
He was Klopp's version of Luis Garcia. Capable of magic but didn't see it often enough.

Any chance of a special post season review podcast like the ones you have done in the past?

4.) 24 May 2024 15:05:53
Yeah, Ed01. Won't be relying on 3einstein" a. k. a Ed25 for any of that, will we?

{Ed025's Note - you wish Oli.. :)

Wathcing the LFC TV coverage and wondering if that other commentator is our own Ed025? Sounds like him haha.

Danns is 18 right? I don't expect him to be able to gel from the first game with players he does not play with. Slot has a lot of tactical instructions for how we play and those tactics change within the game. Give the lad a break and let him develop. He may not become the player we want him to as lots can change but he has the abilities and mindset to get there.

Lets not forget Ryan Grav (who is a few years older) was top of everyones sell list last season and look what happened there.

Or Harry Kane who no one every predicted to make it but he worked very hard and surprised everyone.

Kerkez is too weak defensively for me. Might suit being a wing back in a back 3 system better if he has enough help from the CBs and midfielders, just like how Marcos Alonso looked better with a back 3 and utterly hopeless when in a back 4.
