Havertz being linked again via bild. Nothing changed I presume Ed? Still looking likely to going to Bayern.
{Ed002's Note - Kai Havertz (AM) Bayern Munich will likely move for KH if the option on Philippe Coutinho not taken up, but interest from elsewhere - particularly Barcelona (if Coutinho leaves), Manchester City (as a David Silva replacement) and Juventus. Interest of Milan will likely not go anywhere. Dortmund and PSG have both certainly spoken with his agent. Numerous other clubs have had scouts watch including Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid who have watched him on a number of occasions but either don't see the value in the price now or have other targets (where Chelsea and Real Madrid are concerned). Whether Liverpool wish to throw their hat in to the ring is another matter.}

Wow that was fast, thanks mate. So unlikely then. I just can’t see us spending that amount of money on a player. €130m is what I read. Seems with this Nike deal, klopp extension and how well we are performing we are going to be linked with everyone! Were articles the other day on us going for neymar. I mean come onyou couldn’t get further away from a Liverpool / klopp type player.
{Ed002's Note - Bild wrote an article citing interest from Manchester United, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid - and then went on to write another saying Manchester United and Manchester City have spoken directly wth the player - which they have not. Somewhere down the line an English paper added Liverpool as one of these clubs. Right now Liverpool has not made any approach to Bayer Leverkusen regarding the player.
The reality is that all four clubs want an AM player - and he is Bayern's preferred recourse assuming they decide not to take up the option on Coutinho. Manchester United are looking for an AM player and have been baulking at the price being asked for Bruno Fernandes (AM) and have not lost sight of Christian Eriksen (AM). They have certainly looked at him but I am not aware of more than that and I am sure they have not spoken with the player directly. Real Madrid are also looking for an AM player and have been attracted by the low cost option of Eriksen. Finally, Manchester United do have the need to replace David Silva but it would be a very significant investment in a youngster.}

how good is he ed only see him play the for Germany v Argentina and if his value is £100m+ for me its a big risk on these young players even Sancho when ever I have seen him play for England or the odd game for Dortmund still think at that price looks a big risk.
{Ed002's Note - He is well thought of but the asking price is pretty extreme, hence some clubs are stepping back. There are few clubs who will take that financial risk on a young player.}

{Ed002's Note - He is very well thought of but also young. As you say, he is expensive and it is risky - and if he is to move at that sort of price then there are not an enormous number of clubs who can afford that risk. And that can be seen from the clubs who have stepped back because of the price.}
5.) 21 Dec 2019 12:31:33
Ed002, with the addition of Minamino, do you think Liverpool may still add an AM in Summer?
{Ed002's Note - If they can move Shaqiri yes.}
6.) 21 Dec 2019 15:44:22
Do you see Shaqiri moving on in the summer then Ed? He no doubt wants mote game time.
{Ed002's Note - He might decide to sit tight.}
7.) 22 Dec 2019 02:33:45
I think that if keita and/ or OX can progress and play an important role in the 2nd half of the season we'd have no need to add an AM.
They have shown they can be a great fit in that role and klopp is more regularly using them in advanced attacking roles. If they can perform that role we mightnt need to recruit.
I see minamino being a better fit than shaqiri and versatile enough to play much more regularly. AM is not a position I see as needing addressing as we are not lacking threat from midfield this season and many important goals and assists have come from our midfield.
Minamino will only add more strenght from wide and central areas but we are not suffering from weakness in midfield lacking offensive output to demand we break the bank to sign another.
8.) 22 Dec 2019 08:54:58
i thought guardiola and everyone else was expecting foden to replace silva? can't seen PG taking that risk and will spend yet more money on his threadbare under resourced squad.
{Ed002's Note - No, you are mistaken. Ilkay Gundogan and Phil Foden are seen as the two central midfield player Manchester City has in the first team and Davide Silva and Ken DeBruyne the two attacking midfield players. They will be losing Silva, and the likes of Sane and will need replacements. Unlike Liverpool they do not have a mass of Central Midfield players to pick from. They are wary of price as they have never paid that sort of money for a player before - the most they have paid being a little over half the asking price. So perhaps your attempt at sarcasm fell on stoney ground.}
9.) 22 Dec 2019 13:23:06
Fair enough Ed, keep hearing it said that’s his role. He barely plays so I’m not quite sure where he fits in, they also play Bernardo, Rodrigo and Fernandinho in mf All in front of him so it’s not like they’re short as they only play with 3. I get most of their buys occurred before the market went crazy but relative to what was being spent at the time they were spending a lot more. 8 of the top 25 in PL history.
10.) 22 Dec 2019 14:22:56
I really like what I have seen of Foden, definitely looks like he could be top class. I'd be surprised to see City pay that much for Havertz when other areas of their squad (defence) seem in greater need of investment. Perhaps they can afford it all but, even for a club with their spending power, I'd think it unlikely they could get the defensive quality they need and fork out for Havertz. Info is interesting though ed, thanks.
11.) 22 Dec 2019 15:18:55
If KH is worth 127m, then Grujic is worth 35/ 40 at least. I also wonder if the Naby role is being reconsidered after a very slow and inconsistent start .
The type of fee being mentioned for Kai doesn't surprise me in as much as if he genuinely is a world class talent and good for 10/ 12 years at the top, its not so outrageous.
12.) 22 Dec 2019 22:47:05
Personally I don’t get the furore that surrounds Foden. He looks decent enough but for me is another overhyped English player who’s done nothing to warrant the hype that surrounds him.
We’ve seen loads over the years, Barkley, Lingard, Townsend, Winks, Rashford. All decent players but all not getting to the heights that were initially expected.
13.) 23 Dec 2019 17:31:14
Absolutely no chance of us spending the kind of money being talked about for Havertz or Sancho or anyone unless one of our stars leaves. Can see Zielinski replacing Lallana and maybe a young CB or DCM to deputize but not a big name or big money, and that's only right. We have the best team in the world, if it ain't broke etc etc.
14.) 26 Dec 2019 11:14:52
Still think we could do with another striker, love Origi as an impact sub, but I think we could do with a plan b for Bobby who is on fire at the moment but also has spells where he is flat
Difficult to say who though as whoever we went for would know that appearances will be limited. I would personally spend a significant sum on Vardy despite his age as he works hard and fits in to Klopp team ideally for me.
{Ed002's Note - Maybe they will take Brewster and £50M for someone to sit on the bench at Liverpool? Would he be behind or ahead of Mbabbe in the pecking order?}
15.) 27 Dec 2019 10:18:27
Who mentioned Mbappe I had an opinion and voiced it Ed002 and I believe our team could still improve despite being strong already with a proven striker who could be used when we are struggling to break teams down. Maybe not Vardy he was my personal choice but there are others out there too.
16.) 27 Dec 2019 15:32:44
Between Wilson, Grujic (who the Ed's have said does not fit tactically with JK's model) and Shaq, plus Lallana's wages, we can free up enough to afford a top notch MF player. I'd be ok with those 3 being sold to raise funds for Kai.
08 Nov 2019 07:45:25
Wow great rumour (aka nonsense) from the express this morning . Liverpool plan £215m bid for Mbappe which will see salah go to Real Madrid. Quality. I thought you only had to come here for made up rumours .
1.) 08 Nov 2019 09:30:16
but you're secretly hoping one of the eds verifies this in the positive aye. lol :p.
2.) 08 Nov 2019 10:11:28
I'd hate to see Salah go to be honest, been outstanding for us.
3.) 08 Nov 2019 11:04:20
But if he did leave this guy would surely be an upgrade which is hard to come by.
4.) 09 Nov 2019 07:17:40
Upgrade is a bit harsh, Salah has been quality for sure, but if he is set on leaving then we need a replacement that is at least as good.
Who knows what FSG have planned. Didn't they just off and buy Alisson without the club's involvement. I know any spending needs to be reconciled under FFP but if they shelled out what could be over £60m for a keeper then perhaps they will go big for a striker. But £200m+? I'd love the likes of Mbappe, but I'm not sure how I feel about the club/ owners spending that sort of money.
I know getting a world class CB and keeper was much needed but I would argue that those were special cases that were needed to complete picture - the missing pieces of the puzzle.
I hope we don't have to spend crazy money on outfield players in the future. I don't see how it's sustainable.
5.) 09 Nov 2019 08:16:07
You can't say the club won't spend that money but the 200m would be offset by any Salah sale so.
wont happen anyways!
6.) 09 Nov 2019 12:29:41
His wages would blow our wage structure out the window, which would have a massive knock on effect, yer living on abs cloud cookoo land if ye think this has any possibility what so ever.
7.) 09 Nov 2019 16:03:40
There is no question we are interested. Who wouldn't be? I think the wooing began a long time ago.
Klopp's comments probably to avoid annoying PSG, as Real Madrid appears to have done.
If Mbappe comes, it will doubtless be financed by players leaving. Or by sponsorship. At any rate, I would leave the money aspect to others.
8.) 09 Nov 2019 20:29:11
I agree port red, he’d want astronomical wages and then that really does open Pandora’s box.
9.) 10 Nov 2019 03:50:06
Mbappe is not coming to Liverpool.
10.) 11 Nov 2019 07:49:58
Spot on Reynard, klopp himself has killed this rumour before it gets out of hand.
He will join Real Madrid for the 2020/ 21 season and no we won't be signing Bale either.
29 Oct 2018 09:25:37
Read a rumour that there is an agreement between Liverpool and Salah that he will be allowed to leave at the end of the season if Barcelona or real come calling. Any truth to it? I'd imagine it's a Spanish paper trying to stir things up.
1.) 29 Oct 2018 10:10:31
I seen that yesterday mate annoying isn't it I would like too think he wants too stay with us.
2.) 29 Oct 2018 10:30:31
So as soon as he's back in the goals more regularly he gets linked with a move by newspapers? Shock horror. I wouldn't worry about it mate.
3.) 29 Oct 2018 10:44:38
Liverpool may sell to "anyone" should "anyone" make an unbelievable offer, why limit ourselves to Real and Barcelona only? I think we are getting ourselves into a position that players would want to stay as we are starting to look like the real deal, whereas Real look like a bloody mess. Does Modric want out?
4.) 29 Oct 2018 12:36:05
When will people learn about reading this tripe and believing it enough to ask if there’s any truth. Let’s see if either club can raise the 150-200 mil to make an offer before we start hitting a panic button. Besides weren’t most of the press reporting him as a 1 season wonder last week?
{Ed002's Note - It will be based on his efforts to move to Spain and having his agent speak with both clubs. I have explained that the package being asked for saw RA laughed out of the building.}
5.) 29 Oct 2018 13:37:43
Players come and go, they are transient. Very few will have genuine loyalty to 1 club, especially it seems, when Barcelona and Real madrid come calling.
I do not believe this story, but even if it were true, find a replacement and move on. It happens all the time in football.
6.) 29 Oct 2018 17:28:45
i know it is annoying mate isn't it. I normally wouldn't pay attention and assume that its a spanish paper trying to unrest the player as they want him at RM / Barcelona and using the lack of goal celebrations as an indication he wants to leave.
7.) 29 Oct 2018 19:00:16
The end of the season is a long way away ðŸ‘.
8.) 29 Oct 2018 20:08:13
Why would he leave the Champions of England and Europe to join Real Madrid in the Europa League?
9.) 29 Oct 2018 20:56:31
I like the optimism MK, but you're jumping the gun a little there lad. Still 28 games to go in the league.
10.) 29 Oct 2018 17:44:57
RA Ed002?
{Ed002's Note - His agent.}
11.) 30 Oct 2018 07:25:00
Cheers Ed002.
12.) 30 Oct 2018 09:32:54
I was replied too as being paranoid for mentioning the salah Barcelona thing also Madrid wanted him and paul merson spouting out in press salah looked unhappy, but ed 02 has been telling us for a long time salah and his agent flirting with the club's mentioned and we have seen this thing before with coutihno, Suarez, mascerano, Alonso etc so nothing surprises me with players loyalty too staying with us.
13.) 30 Oct 2018 11:53:48
Will be surprised if Barcelona can afford Salah this summer.
Maybe they will offer Suarez and Coutinho in part exchange but I don’t see us going for that.
Barca have some rebuilding to do.
Think both Barcelona and Madrid see several EPL clubs coming up fast and Champions League maybe between Juve LFC and Citeh over the next couple of seasons with Chelski back in the frame next year.
14.) 30 Oct 2018 12:17:14
Don't worry about it Hailstones, some people do overreact when you mention a star player could leave the club. You and TOM27 only mentioned you read a newspaper article.
None of us can say for certain that Salah, Mane, Firminho etc will be Liverpool players next season. The better they play the more stories we will see of Barca, Real, Psg looking to buy them. The 2 spanish are allegedly the dream for nearly every player, for whatever reason.
15.) 30 Oct 2018 16:41:12
ed002 do you see it getting harder for to many big galactico signing now with the price of players madrid need a few new signings and to take the best players of teams now would mean one hell of a summer spending spree. I do think the Neymar transfer caused a bit of a merry go round of transfers that has set a bit of a president that can't be kept going. soon there has to be a breaking point.
16.) 31 Oct 2018 12:49:59
Grino75, there are no signs of it stopping just yet. When you look beyond the insane £100m marks, the actual cost in percentage of revenue, cost of players (even the insane ones) are on average less than before.
Pogba was in reality cheaper for United than Veron was, based on percentage of revenue.
The revenue is still on a rise, albeit especially in the Premiership. But as long as revenue keeps rising, and the money made in Europe are increasing. the transfer fees will follow.
But to reply to the top one. I believe Salah is a great player, in so many ways, and will be hard if not impossible to replace if he leaves.
Yet, people seem to forget that Klopp have altered his attack to maximize Salahs effect. Adding another top quality, yet cheaper player, I trust in Klopp to adjust again. and it will be like CoutinWho. We didn't really miss him after the fact.
Just my two cents for the eds to blow wide open :)
{Ed002's Note - "Percentage of revenue" is of no relevance and comparisons between the likes of Veron and Pogba are of no relevance.}
17.) 01 Nov 2018 16:40:43
Of course he'll go, it's the owners Modus operandi. Why do you all torture yourselves, even though the coutinho money helped fund the last few windows, they'll still be mortified to have spent a hell of a lot more than they ever envisaged even tough it's a fraction of city and united's spend. Oh and they'll take nowhere near £200 million for him, if they can get anywhere near the couthinho money, BANG he's gone.
22 Jul 2018 12:31:28
What is likely to happen with Meyer? Who has shown serious interest / opened talks with his agent (Asking here as he has been linked to Liverpool).
1.) 22 Jul 2018 13:22:47
From what I've heard his wage demands are too high for most clubs to be interested.
2.) 22 Jul 2018 14:42:16
was his wage demands £4m a year if so does not seems too high in this day and age. about £77k a week or is that just paper talk like that's why people don't want him.
3.) 22 Jul 2018 15:07:24
Think it was double that last i read grino. 8million his demanding.
4.) 22 Jul 2018 15:53:40
Never seen him play so no idea if he's any good or not but if he's a £30m player then getting him on a free with high wages doesn't seem too bad. If he's just a £3m player then it's a bad deal.
{Ed002's Note - What do you men by "free"? Signing on fee, 5% of valuation to The FA, agent fees, payment to compensate Schalke, tax due on the transfer fee – typically this will be VAT (at varying rates across Europe) some or all of which should be reclaimable, tax due on the agent fees – typically this is VAT at the local rate where the agent bills from – it is not reclaimable, Intermediary fees – this may be to one or more sponging leeches (what do you mean you have a super agent?), legal fees, VAT on legal fees which is reclaimable, moving/relocation costs for the player, VAT on moving/relocation costs which is reclaimable. And then there are his outrageous wage demands.}
5.) 22 Jul 2018 16:33:13
If these are the costs involved for a so called free transfer, then the amount Can must have cost to Juventus is beyond my imagination.
Let alone be for signing a player from certain club.
{Ed002's Note - They don't have to pay all of these costs but ceratinly signing on fee, agent fee, legal fees relocation costs - but his wages are far lower than what is being asked by MM.}
6.) 22 Jul 2018 19:39:28
I still expect him to sign for a premier league club, but I'd think it'll be more along the lines of West Ham or Palace. I also think it happen late as he'll start to learn that he'll have to drop his wage demands if he wants anyone to sign him.
7.) 22 Jul 2018 20:59:22
Do we see us going for him if he reduces his wage demands (in case nobody is ready to pay high wages)?
{Ed002's Note - To replace?}
8.) 22 Jul 2018 21:09:58
Ed002 by 'free' I meant that we wouldn't be giving a club £30m or so just to buy him. I'm well aware of all the other stuff that accompanies a so called free transfer.
{Ed002's Note - So who will be moved on to make room for him?}
9.) 22 Jul 2018 21:50:20
No idea Ed002, my only musing on the matter was whether he'd be a decent acquisition on a 'free' if you go back to my original comment.
10.) 23 Jul 2018 07:33:59
No transfer fee say 20 million.
Maybe sell one day even for 12 mil will negate most of those costs.
So eventually be a free is what it should be called.
11.) 23 Jul 2018 07:37:45
Why would a player be a good addition, if he's not replacing anyone in the squad? That's just stockpiling for the sake of it surely and will lead to more club debt and unhappy player/ s.
12.) 23 Jul 2018 09:07:40
Love how hot under the collar ed2 gets when people talk about frees and transfer fees in general- Iv learned a lot from you though mate. I didn’t realise about all the hidden costs of every transfer. Even been passing on the knowledge to one of my mates who saw an article and based purely on official transfer spend and all income it reckoned we had another 200mil after Allison to spend on transfers. I informed him it was utter bullsh*t but some people actually believe that shit! Dread to think what we’ve spent on agent fees alone this summer- never thought I’d type these words but I agree with Gary Neville (sorry- give me a second) agent fees should be limited and the FA should impose a tax on them as a way of getting money back into game from these thieves!
{Ed002's Note - Last season Liverpool paid £27M in agent fees.}
13.) 23 Jul 2018 12:24:41
Sport agent to established players must genuinely be the best job in the world.
14.) 23 Jul 2018 14:21:02
Meyer is not good enough for us anymore. He would not get in ahead of Fab, Naby and Hendo anyway and for a squad player, we already have Gini, Milner and Lallana.
15.) 23 Jul 2018 23:53:52
He wants 8mil a year apparently that’s just silly money if he was that good Madrid, Barca, PSG etc would have snapped him up.
16.) 24 Jul 2018 08:44:08
Kloppsboss, how do you work that one out? You say he might cost 20 mil, then sell him at a later date for 12 and it negate most of the costs so he really becomes free?
I mean you’re already 8mil down that way and the fact even after 1 year, you'll be another 8mil down with his wage demands xD
The word "free" is made up to give people false hope. Nothing is ever free in life! (Unless you steal it and never get caught xD)

Mo Salah - get that man a statue. It would already be an outrage if he didn’t get one now!
1.) 27 Apr 2025 18:48:42
Best attacking player of the premier league era bar none. Not having any of this Henry shout, quality player but salah is better than the va va voom.
2.) 27 Apr 2025 18:51:26
In fact after I wrote that I thought van dijk and Allison should have one too…. Maybe a Mount Rushmore with Salah, Allison, van dijk and hendo …. those are the players I’ll remember For this recent period of success. A lot of honourable mentions though ….
06 Mar 2025 09:18:39
How on earth did we win that game? Was a painful watch. Alisson man of the match without doubt.
Looked like we sat back and was content with a draw but hoping to catch them on the counter. Salah was way off the pace.
1.) 06 Mar 2025 09:28:53
Think we wanted to counter and break as we did in the second half, as it takes tons of pressure off you. Instead we just pissed the ball away at every opportunity, with diaz/ djota/ salah/ grav losing the ball immediately. Basically making it relentless.
2.) 06 Mar 2025 09:46:18
The midfield got totally dominated. We couldn’t string 2 passes together. The win is unbelievable though, absolutely incredible.
3.) 06 Mar 2025 10:16:03
Salah had one of the worst games I can ever remember him having Tom.
So many promising situations ended as soon as he got the ball. You can normally rely on him to produce that bit of quality but he couldn’t do anything right last night.
If ever there’s a player that’s earned our trust over the years though it’s Mo. We can forgive him one poor game.
4.) 06 Mar 2025 10:22:11
Obviously PSG had their chances first half, but second half I actually thought we had them well contained and a better final ball may have provided us one or two more clear cut opportunities.
They'll want to fly out the traps next week to get an early goal, hopefully we can pick them off again.
5.) 06 Mar 2025 10:23:47
Think it's hard for the attacking players to keep the ball when they have been defending for long periods. PSG were fantastic but if when Krvat went off they didn't create many clear chances, equally if we had strung a few better passes together on The counter we could have created a few more for ourself.
Let's hope for more of the ball at anfield.
6.) 06 Mar 2025 10:55:00
We'll take it, of course, but I agree - not an enjoyable watch, other than marveling at Alisson's brilliance and then the joy of the late winner. I was glad to hear Slot coming out with honesty after the match and saying we were lucky (can think of many managers who wouldn't be that honest) . After the win at City, which was a similar performance, there was a general consensus that it was some sort of tactical masterstroke or a perfectly executed plan. Maybe it was, but I didn't completely buy it; I just felt we got outplayed, defended resolutely but also relied on wastefulness from the opposition, rode our luck and then grabbed a goal against the run of play. It's not a sustainable model or approach for success.
Can't complain too much I suppose having won both of those matches but it's not really how I want to see us play; you just don't expect to see the team that is top of the league and widely referred to as the best in Europe currently being so utterly dominated and outplayed.
It could just be that PSG are absolutely red hot at the moment (just look at their recent run of results, smashing everybody by 4, 5 or more goals) and would have played any team off the pitch last night. If they play like that next week, we'll need to be way better than we were last night, and it still might not be good enough; I can't see that we'd get away with another clean sheet if the match unfolds in the same way next week.
{Ed001's Note - I am sorry, but if you can't tell the difference between a tactical ploy against City and a team that just outplayed us in PSG, you really are not understanding what you are watching. That was a world apart from the City game. We tried to press PSG, we didn't with City. We got forced back against PSG and dominated, City it was a case of let them have the ball in front of us and to the sides because they won't hurt us. We were desperately trying to win the ball back against PSG because they were ripping us apart.}
7.) 06 Mar 2025 11:05:48
A really tough game. Great result.
Alisson - the big beautiful bearded yellow bear of a man!
PSG pressed like maniacs. We tried to control and found ourselves unable to live with their press. We kept giving the ball away and that forced us into a low block. Frustratingly we didn't make use of the few times we could attack them.
Unlike the City game, the outball to Mo was not working. Perhaps Mo is feeling the fasting at the moment as he was as poor as I have seen him this season. Mendes dealt with him too easily.
Thought Trent (especially 2nd half) and Robbo did a relatively good job. Ibou (couple of dodgy moments), Virg and Macca put in a shift. Lucho seemed to lose his confidence as soon as he made that cross field pass that was cut out early in the game. Not convinced Jota is fully fit. He was knackered by 30 mins. He also made some poor decisions when given an opportunity to break on PSG. Gravy struggled at times and wasted a few build up opportunities. Not sure about Szobo's game overall. He wasn't good when he had the ball. However, he may have still put a shift in off the ball.
Anfield beckons. Where it will be our turn to press like maniacs.
Allez, allez, allez will be something!

How on earth did we win that game? Simple. it was a typical european away performance, one we have seen countless clubs (LFC included) put out for generations.

I think tactically we were set up completely wrong, inviting their wingers and trying to narrow the play, which was a mistake in my nonexpert view!
I think Salah had an awful game but so did many others, Grav, Robbo, Jota to name a few. Our passing accuracy was embarrassing, simple sideways passes going out of play, needless free kicks being given away, the list goes on.
Apart from Ali, I thought Trent was excellent, he defended superbly at times and played some dangerous balls forward only to find no one bothering to do anything with it.
Probably one of the worst performances I have seen in a long time from a Liverpool team.

I think that was the plan alright, sit back and play on the counter but PSG were just so good last night that we couldn't get out at all, they were spectacular last night but so was our goalkeeper thankfully. I've never seen a goalkeeping display like that before and probably never will again. Without him we'd be dead and buried. Unbelievable how we came out of that with the win. Our front 3 were non existent, we will improve on that at Anfield and should go through now. All thanks to Ali. Best in the world!

Missus asked me pre-game for a score prediction and my answer was "I'd take a 1-1 draw right now because this is going to be our hardest game of the season". Boy did they batter us!
20+ games unbeaten and 45 goal in their last 12 games. That is a serious PSG team. As Arne Slot pointed out, they had some very hard fixtures in the group phase but they're a different team now with the signing of Kvaradonna and a few more months of gelling together.
Getting out of Paris with 3 points was a robbery. I'm confident in our teams ability to (as a minimum) avoid defeat in the 2nd leg back at Anfield. So hopefully the hard part is over and we can enjoy some better football next Tuesday!

Allison did his best Gordon Banks impression, that's how. But we also kept most shots (in 2nd half to the outside) and then scored on our one chance. That chance was not just luck, it was 47 passes in a row against a team that perhaps was getting a bit fatigued and strong play from Darwin to set up Harv.

The unlikely heroics of Nunez and Elliot. Excited to grab that one.

as everyone has said we actually had chances to move up the field easily and punish them but the team just couldn't pass to each other.

That was one of the best defencive performances i have seen from LFC in europe.
Everybody going on about psg well a game of football is to put the ball in opposition's goal psg had 24 shots at goal, did not score we go up there end and put the ball in their net that whether they like it or not is what happened it was LFC fault they did not score with defence and our keeper outstanding. psg players wanted to score worldies never once got second ball in our area. well done red men YNWA.

I can’t see Newcastle splashing that on a striker when they have FFP issues. Someone must be going. I’m hoping Isak but could be Gordon to replace Diaz.

Such a shame, puts life in perspective. Rest in Peace Diogo.
I saw a great suggestion in a comment on a video i was watching that the number 20 jersey should be retired at Liverpool. We signed him in 2020, he won number 20 with us and wore the number 20 shirt
Would be a fitting tribute to a player that gave everything.

Whilst I’d obviously prefer the club to get some money from his transfer we can’t really grumble too much. He’s more than paid us back whilst he’s been with us. What did we pay - £35m?
If he wants to chase one final big pay day we can’t really begrudge him that.

Surely the cost to the player to buy out the contract would be tax deductible?

Got to love the stance on this one. I'm not trolling or trying to wind you up Ed002 but i'm genuinely interested. You seem to have a real dislike for Klopp. Is there a particular reason for it? The tapping up perhaps or something else. He wouldn't be the first manager to say someone isn't being sold and then they go. If you came out and said player x could leave publically it could affect your negotating hand.
{Ed002's Note - I have explained. It is perfectly clear or do you want me to keep spelling it out.}

In fact after I wrote that I thought van dijk and Allison should have one too…. Maybe a Mount Rushmore with Salah, Allison, van dijk and hendo …. those are the players I’ll remember For this recent period of success. A lot of honourable mentions though ….
