Good day Ed and Reds.
BBC Sport are running an article that clubs opposed to 'Project Restart' are prepared to play at neutral venues if the threat of relegation is lifted.
If this is correct, this seems telling for me.
It sort of feels as if the multitude of clubs that have been poor all season are not prepared to accept their failings and are almost using the current situation to avoid the drop? They seem to be dictating what may happen next?
What's the point of restarting if the season's conclusion can't be reached?
Have you any take on this Ed002 please? (Presuming it did start again - a rather large presumption too) .
{Ed002's Note - Although much of Friday was spent discussiong neutral venues the idea regarding relegation has not been discussed by the PL. There is no plan as to how the season will be concluded at this time. Everything may well be much clearer in one week.}
1.) 04 May 2020 08:14:53
I thought the same to an extent.
All clubs will be playing in neutral venues, all will be in the same boat.
If the "integrity of the league can't be maintained" then what's the point?
Perhaps it's to do with finances and honouring TV contracts - I don't pretend to know that's what it is.
Everyone looking out for their own interests. Understandably.
{Ed002's Note - The arguement is based on loss of home advantage - and that is proving to be consideration for a number of sides (including two of the top six). It is unrelated to money of TV contracts. But many clubs are not concerned about their own interests only.}
2.) 04 May 2020 19:28:30
Ed002 does the home advantage thing not kind of become irrelevant with the exclusion of fans.
{Ed002's Note - A decent number of clubs don’t think so.}
09 Jan 2019 05:59:14
Media speculation today that Comacho could move on to Sporting Lisbon in this window?
Is a subsequent move for a versatile right-sided player on the cards in January?
Suggestions?
1.) 09 Jan 2019 09:11:17
The loan is not strange but the length of time is, June 2020 and that is when his contract runs out according to Talksport. Looks like Camacho is going home.
2.) 09 Jan 2019 08:55:06
Pardon me for but are sporting lisbon and sporting CP the same club?
{Ed025's Note - yes mate..
3.) 09 Jan 2019 09:54:48
Is he getting a new contract or are we effectively releasing him?
4.) 09 Jan 2019 11:53:52
I would a assume he will sign a new contract before heading out!
15 Oct 2018 20:40:37
Is Mane injured whilst out on international duty as well now?
Broken thumb?
1.) 16 Oct 2018 13:06:23
Surely he could play with a broken thumb?
2.) 16 Oct 2018 16:55:37
He has no chance of being fit for a game of Subuteo anyway.
3.) 16 Oct 2018 18:29:00
The thumbs up/ down response to this seems a little insensitive to be honest.
Eds Note: The Thread that was here has now been moved to our Liverpool Other Posts Page.

I wouldn't rule out the illuminati.
31 Jan 2014 11:36:22
The Guardian (no less) reporting that the redevelopment plans are moving forward apace.
Fingers crossed, there could be real progress this year, it all looks good to go if and when the demolition is done.
Only two owners, of four houses, still holding out.
Is that the two buy-to-let landlords that were supposedly going to sue the Council / LFC?
Maybe, just maybe, there will be spades in the ground before 2014 is out?

Absolutly brilliant not lost a set and had to qualify. One of the best Tennis matches i'be seen.
5.) 12 Sep 2021 00:06:22
Excellent match. Some of her shots were incredible. shame she won't be honoured with a boxing day like the footballers would have got of they actually won something.
6.) 12 Sep 2021 00:18:30
Always look out for one of our own, great achievement.
7.) 12 Sep 2021 00:53:06
Absolutely superb performance. Very proud of her! Hopefully in Radacanu there is finally someone to cheer on in the tennis who won't disappoint us 😂.
8.) 12 Sep 2021 03:25:04
Sensational.

Is this not a football page?
10.) 12 Sep 2021 05:50:38
I wonder who this year’s Sports Personality of the Year will be?
11.) 12 Sep 2021 07:26:17
It is a football page Mighty Reds but that was a sensational sporting moment and one which will be high on all time sporting achievements.
Footballers could learn a lot from that girl. She was fearless, composed and the way she held herself and spoke was beyond her years.
I was so proud and privileged to watch that!
A big well done from me.
Sorry wrong page but somethings can make an exception.
12.) 12 Sep 2021 08:00:22
I’m waiting for Piers Morgan - he basically accused her of bottling it when she forfeit the 4th round at Wimbledon in her first Grand Slam as a wildcard who was ranked something like 363 and n the world and as an 18 year old who was doubling up doing her A Levels at the time. I suspect he won’t be shouting the odds today.
By all accounts the girl is a Liverpool fan and deserves her spot on the page. 👏👏👏.
13.) 12 Sep 2021 08:23:56
Tennis is a boring rich sport that needs its own page.
{Ed001's Note - give it a rest, the only thing boring is your comments. I have no interest in tennis either, but that is why I would scroll past instead of acting a dick. If all you have in life is trying to bring down other people's joy then you are the problem.}
14.) 12 Sep 2021 08:52:48
I watched it and thought it was great did not know about Piers Morgan God I hate that bloke got to be one of the biggest c**ts in the world. A young kid playing in the 4th round of Wimbledon would be massive pressure but to be doing it while in the middle of there A levels one of the most stressful things kid of that age can go through.
15.) 12 Sep 2021 09:10:32
My thoughts exactly Grino.
16.) 12 Sep 2021 09:48:58
Are you watching Piers Morgan? Prat.
17.) 12 Sep 2021 09:50:34
I really enjoyed the match last night. I hope people let her breathe and continue to enjoy her tennis. It was a brilliant performance. Take a bow, awesome.

19.) 12 Sep 2021 10:48:14
Sorry for having an opinion, but I am prick cheers ed1.
{Ed025's Note - your not really MR, even though you support liverpool i think you are still one of the good guys mate..
20.) 12 Sep 2021 11:05:36
Piers Morgan was on the radio a little while ago complaining that whenever he flew first class, the caviar he was served by the air stewards was always far too salty. I for one am at a complete loss as to why that could be.
21.) 12 Sep 2021 11:10:56
Both girls, just 18 and 19 years old, were fantastic actually.
And a mention to 19 years old flying machine Keely Hodgkinson too, Olympic silver medalist and won the Diamond League 800m on Friday evening.
Refreshes the sporting palate. Brilliant.
22.) 12 Sep 2021 13:26:34
Well said ed1, mighty reds, all sorts of sports are mentioned and if u don't like it scroll on mate.
09 Sep 2021 11:44:17
On the subject of Steve McMahon, does anyone remember that pearler of an elbow he gave Gazza one afternoon, I think it was an FA Cup tie at WHL?
Oh dear, full on 💥 and he only got a booking lol.
I wonder what Macca would make of Jack Grealish, ooofff?
1.) 09 Sep 2021 12:14:23
Mincemeat is the word you're looking for.
2.) 09 Sep 2021 13:49:38
All that would be left of Grealish at the end of the game would be his hairband😂.
3.) 09 Sep 2021 19:22:33
You would just hear a Brumy voice say " Ar, ath anyone theen me teeth".
4.) 09 Sep 2021 20:37:04
Forget Macca, what would Grahame Souness make of him?
5.) 10 Sep 2021 05:51:22
Or Vinnie Jone, Fash and the boys who frightened us (including McMahon) off the pitch at Wembley too eh?
{Ed001's Note - that's nonsense.}
08 Sep 2021 10:09:15
Old skool reminder:
1. Quality article in The Echo yesterday on Steve McMahon. He never seems to get mentioned on here but he was a fantastic player for Liverpool. If he were around now, he'd go straight into the starting XI for me.
2. Ahead of this weekend's game, I watched highlights of Leeds 1-2 Liverpool from Autumn 1972 last night. That Leeds team was something else, a Mick Jones overhead capped off a dominant Leeds start and had the home crowd chanting 'what's it like to be outclassed Liverpool'.
A good turn around on half time and second half brought Liverpool a very rare win at Elland Road, in which Ian Callaghan and Emlyn Hughes stood out. Recommended viewing. 💪.
{Ed001's Note - McMahon's problem was that he wasn't as good as Souness, Case etc that came before him and then Gerrard who came after him, so he gets forgotten.}
1.) 08 Sep 2021 13:09:46
Correct Ed, also the Wimbledon FA cup final, he got accused of bottling it!, Think it had something to do with Vinny Jones assault early on. Bit unfair as the whole team weren't great that day.
{Ed001's Note - that's not true to say that, as Jones himself said (and he was left with scars for life after McMahon got him back later in the game) McMahon never bottled it. Wimbledon just went out there and got the win. They were capable of it at their best and we were not at our best. It happens, certainly not McMahon's fault that 11 players were not at it against a team that played out of their skins. We should be applauding the Wimbledon team for being good enough to take advantage and win.}
2.) 08 Sep 2021 14:08:17
Absolutely nailed that Ed.
Always liked McMahon, never left anything on the pitch, yeah he wasn’t as good as Souness but very few are (he was the best centre midfielder ever imho) . McMahon was excellent and that midfield unit were as good as any of the ones I’ve seen.
{Ed001's Note - I always liked him too, if he had played for just about any other team in the league he would be one of their all-time greats. Sadly for him, he played for us.}
3.) 08 Sep 2021 14:49:42
I actually like him as a commentator too. Very dry way of speaking, straight to the point, and no sign of mental "fogginess" like some of the others.
4.) 08 Sep 2021 19:05:09
What was the reason for him leaving Ed if you know? think he left not long after Souness came in.
{Ed001's Note - I can't remember now to be honest.}
5.) 09 Sep 2021 08:26:32
Red Duck, there’s a really good piece on YouTube from a live Radio City interview.
McMahon described Souness’ arrival as being like night and day compared to what had gone before.
It shocked all the players, especially the older pros, and McMahon was not happy.
He asked Souness for a transfer, in the belief that it would trigger a heart-to-heart discussion, and compromise. But Souness just said ‘ok, no problem’.
McMahon was surprised, to say the least, but felt he had to go through with his ultimatum.
Sourness, for his part, later said he regretted doing that but he couldn’t believe that any player would not want to play for Liverpool and so got rid.
Neither wanted McMahon to actually go but that’s what happened.
Jaw jaw not war war!
6.) 09 Sep 2021 09:49:38
Nice one Juicer-could have done with keeping hold of him during that time as well!
07 Aug 2021 16:46:48
One possible consolation of the lack of signings (so far, at least) is that it tells me Liverpool could be making much more use of the 4-2-3-1 variant this season.
Playing that allows rotation with Fabinho, Thiago and Henderson. Keeps them fresher, and protects Henderson's legs (like his England role) . We don't want him charging around every game because, as it stands, there's not a replacement as that midfield dynamo.
Play him alongside another deeper midfielder, rotate regularly, and we can still be effective.
That way, as well, Jones, Ox, Elliott and, dare I say it, even Keita can play games more naturally suited to their styles.
I think that's the way to go if there's no more signings for midfield.
1.) 07 Aug 2021 17:21:18
It’ll be interesting to see how teams play against us next season. The midfield 3 of Hendo, Wiji and Fab swamp other midfields with thier pressing and pressure but the last 2 seasons a lot more teams have sat back and let us dominate the ball. It’s hard to pressure teams when they only have 20-30% possession and they look to play it over the top to expose our high line especially when you’re missing your two fastest centre half’s. I think that’s why Bobby has also struggled a little as he’s rated as the best defensive forward out there but it’s hard to do it when the opposition allow you the ball. When we play teams that are going to sit in deep I’d love to see us vary it from the 433 as there’s been plenty of games where we have been troubled trying to break down the parked buses so 4231 could be used a lot this season and with our fullbacks it’s more like 2-2-3-3 when we are in possession.
2.) 07 Aug 2021 17:31:42
Without the crowd it was the fast starts we missed as well. The games around Christmas and 2 months after all followed the same pattern. Slow, slow and slower. With our defence back we should be far better at pushing forward and not letting the opponent breathe.
3.) 07 Aug 2021 17:39:19
Our poor run started with a crowd (albeit small) at home to WBA. The 3 months before that we had no crowds and were top of the league.
4.) 07 Aug 2021 18:03:28
But as u get physically and mentally tired and things started going against us in terms of injuries we needed the crowd. We kept starting slow and the opposition grew in confidence. Don’t forget for around 3 years we are unbeaten at home with a full crowd.
{Ed025's Note - you do realise that every other team were in that same boat dont you mark?, our home form suffered as well...we just dont look for sympathy from everyone mate..
5.) 07 Aug 2021 18:33:23
I don’t think Liverpool supporters talking about Liverpool on a Liverpool site is in anyway looking for sympathy from anyone else. It’s just discussing what went wrong last season.
6.) 07 Aug 2021 19:01:19
Nice one 25 🤣🤣🤣 I Don't think your form had anything to do with no crowd mate! You were just rubbish! Lol.
{Ed025's Note - thats a fair point marty..
7.) 07 Aug 2021 19:17:36
It went wrong against WBA when matip went of injured and Henderson dropped into the defence with Fabinho and we had Thiago out injured as well. Are midfield was weakened far to much and it took Klopp to long to play Nat there week in week out. And all so are forwards looked very tied as Origi is not good enough and we missed Jota when he picked up an injury in the champions league in a game that should not have mattered if we had wrapped the group up earlier on like we should have.
8.) 07 Aug 2021 19:20:02
I am not seeking sympathy, it’s just a fact that Liverpool have a massive unbeaten run with a crowd. Maybe Everton had the same 😉.
{Ed025's Note - we were awful at home mark, but we just get on with it mate..
9.) 07 Aug 2021 19:23:36
Only kidding 25. although agent Rafa has started well 🤣🤣🤣.
{Ed025's Note - its very much going to plan marty.. :)
10.) 07 Aug 2021 19:27:43
The game didn’t matter matter mate. We were top of the group, it was a Klopp mistake of which he made too many last season.
11.) 07 Aug 2021 19:29:04
Grino Hendo didn’t move into Centre back until the Southampton games (2 games later) . Rhys Williams came on for Matip and Hendo played DM against Newcastle the next game 0-0 which Phillips played at the bank with Fab. I agree though the loss of Matip was huge as for me Fab did really well back there but Matip was the glue that held it all together.
12.) 07 Aug 2021 19:37:57
I'd like Hendo to continue charging around, bossing matches and driving the team on. Then rotate him every now and again to protect him from injury so let him play 100% or not at all.
13.) 07 Aug 2021 20:15:13
JK Fab didn't do well. I hope we never have to see him at cb again.
14.) 07 Aug 2021 21:15:39
Mark sorry mate meant dod really well there up until Matip got injured. We were top of the league till then. After Matip was injured Fab started to struggle back there and so did the rest of the team.
15.) 07 Aug 2021 21:26:59
There were times Fabinho did really well at centre back, and other times he was exposed. Hopefully the situation never arises again where he's out in that situation, at least on a regular basis.
16.) 07 Aug 2021 22:35:57
If I never see or hear the wird variant again.
05 Aug 2021 20:29:21
I missed the friendly game today unfortunately.
Regarding the unusual shirt / shorts combo though, have a look at museumofjerseys. com - Midweek Mashup, Liverpool FC 1983-85.
Red pinstripe Umbro shirt, black shorts, yellow socks. Looks nice actually.
1.) 05 Aug 2021 22:23:23
it was caused by an unforseen clash of kits. Liverpool were going to wear their stone kit but it clashed with the white shirts of Bologna so they had to make a very late change.
19 Aug 2021 19:56:51
The US must be a huge potential talent pool?
Massive population and many awesome athletes, albeit soccer is far from number one sport out there.
But, with the game growing, I can really see the US being a future source of talent.
I’d certainly like to see FSG look at this, if they’re not already doing so.
02 Jul 2021 11:12:56
Haha I love it. 🤣🤣
Can we not send Davey a spare set of Ed025’s dentures as a well-deserved consolation or something?
{Ed025's Note - i need them all juicer, i have only got one real tooth left mate..thats why they call me juanita.. :)
28 Jun 2021 13:04:30
Philips is also limited in his passing ability and not quick, he does not fit in with our style of play at all.
The 4 remaining CBs are about the best in the PL as a collective in my view.
Phillips did well to stand in like he did but I have always felt it’s best all round that he moves on.
09 Jun 2021 22:30:38
The Amsterdam Evening Chronicle is probably more up your street there MKS?
07 Jun 2021 18:24:00
Liverpool lost in the order of £50 - 70 million during the initial lock down and around another £100m minimum last season from missing match day revenue etc.
These are serious shortfalls that probably mean perhaps 3 or 4 key new signings could not be added to the squad over that time?
The injury issues last season lead on from this situation; Klopp was clearly unhappy with his back-up and perhaps the signings that we missed out on would have played instead.
All told, do not underestimate the damage that CV has caused Liverpool.
It’s lost ready cash in hand and debt-serving funds that has gone.
20 Sep 2021 18:07:55
Don’t be so melodramatic AW 😂
It’s also quite obvious what qualities Gini brought to the team - pace, stamina, durability, flexibility, an attacking threat and a good team ethic.
You can bury your head in the sand and ignore this but otherwise it would be Liverpool being extremely successful with only two effective midfielders?
That is just not possible.
As we’ve also seen, his replacements have a habit of coming unstuck.
Thiago has pulled his calf on the hour mark, I’m starting to worry about his ability to last a full-on PL match. We saw it last season and it’s happening again.
20 Sep 2021 10:19:22
Well, as it stands Ed, we’ve got one of his replacements laid up for the season and another with a calf pull problem and it’s not even October yet.
It wouldn’t surprise me to see Liverpool dip into the market for a midfielder in January.
{Ed001's Note - why? Elliott will be back soon, Thiago's problem is only minor and Jones is there and in need of games. There is also Ox and Keita, plus with Bobby coming back there is an option to play him deeper.}
20 Sep 2021 10:03:09
Everyone is entitled to their views of course but that is an overly-harsh summary of Wijnaldum’s contribution in mine.
It’s just not possible to survive in Liverpool’s midfield 3 if he’d been so poor over such a length of time.
The team’s continued improvement over his time, and his appearances total, say that.
Liverpool badly suffered when Henderson was out injured prior to Wijnaldum’s arrival; after it, much less so and those hard yards were consistently made by the Dutchman.
Don’t forget too, that some of this period was before Fabinho’s arrival when it was necessary for the midfield to do a bit of everything week-to-week depending on availability.
If he were 28 when he’d asked for his big contract, would it have been turned down?
I’m not sure.
{Ed001's Note - you may not be so sure, but he was not going to get the obscene amount he asked for if he was 25, let alone 28, he was simply not worth it and nothing I said was harsh. I was gentle on him if anything. Hard yards my arse, the defenders would have the ball and he would be hiding behind opposition players rather than making an angle.}
19 Sep 2021 12:18:53
I wish I’d seen him play.
His goal record is amazing.
A lad in the office, 10 years older than me, always said that Jimmy Greaves was the best striker that Britain has ever had.
He looked sharper and more mobile than Kane.
He seemed a great guy too, you’re right there Ed.
Legend for sure. RIP Greavsie.
19 Sep 2021 10:59:01
I like that Kostas has got a bit of an edge to him too, he can put his foot in, no problems there.
Good to see.
