You weren’t one of the people shouting ‘shoot’ were you?


2.) 29 Feb 2024 10:05:16
TB2, isn’t it tongue in cheek and specifically whenever Gomez is in the opposition half and has a clear path in front of him?


3.) 29 Feb 2024 12:10:10
Klopp has said people should stop yelling that Joey G should shoot. If he has to say that then you know that's a real problem.


4.) 29 Feb 2024 15:27:23
I also heard it when Bradley shot for Danns second goal. It's embarrassing.

The number 6 roll, I feel with Trent stepping inside and making it 2 number 6s really I think that roll now is made for Thiago. 2 great ball players starting attacks from deep. Being backed up well by bajectic and to a lesser extent Fabinho. we only need a new 6 if we sell Fabinho but then what happens to bajectic going forward!

cauli kid

1.) 21 May 2023 17:05:28
Bajcetic will get plenty of chances. Need to bring in a Fabinho replacement if we want to compete.


2.) 21 May 2023 21:14:21
We should sign the lad from Real Madrid, so we could have number six Valverde.

Not sure if anyone has seen the stats for our away form . 3 wins 3 draws 7 defeats. At home 9 wins 3 draws and 1 defeat. Against the other top 6/ 7 sides including Newcastle our record is good so what is going wrong . the ability is there but weather it's desire or instructions to slow tempo at time and we can't get going after? I don't know but like everyone I'm sure will agree the ability is there to be doing a lot better though I do believe we are a couple players short of being able to win the league again???.

OP, to add to your stats even tho I’m not a stats guy, we have 100% win record after scoring first. When we concede first? We lost ALL but about 2 games vs Newcastle in a win and Brighton in a 3-3 draw. These numbers are fanning and way too inconsistent or “Jekyll And Hyde” to aspire to achieving anything tangible in the league, imo.

I do think in addition to what you have said, there is a level of confidence and self belief that is lacking severely. Whether it be in the players individually or in the coaches and tactics which they are being asked to play. Like you, I don’t know even tho, new players will help.


2.) 13 Mar 2023 18:46:45
More and more it looks like a self-confidence thing, rather than anything else. After you beat your biggest rival (I wanted to use the word "destroy" but didn't), you would think that the players and team would be on cloud 9, and full of confidence. You would think the corner had been turned. But no, the rollercoaster ride continues.

If it's a lack of hunger, which could also be possible, then lack or full confidence is not going to change anything.


3.) 13 Mar 2023 18:21:29
It's been weird alright this season, tbh bit like how we used to play for so many years before Klopp. Hit and miss against smaller teams, but managed to raise our game in the big ones

Honestly not sure if it's a change in tactics away from the energetic, pressing, quick tempo style to a more possession based one or player attitudes - probably a bit of both.


4.) 13 Mar 2023 19:52:27
ArAy1969, I never thought we had turned the corner personally granted we have only lost one of the last 6 with 5 clean sheets with 1 goal conceded and 13 out 15 points won.

From 5,000 feet view of things that is not a bad return over a 6 game span BUT if you look at the actual internal stats like have been presented, it’s pretty grim. Over the season, it’s even worse.

I think we have confidence issues as well as a tactical setup issue cos some of tactics we have employed this season even at Bmouth beggars belief to the point that you start asking yourself what Da heck did the team work on during preparation. It’s quit maddening.


5.) 13 Mar 2023 20:01:34
When you consistently lose the first goal, especially away from home, you are asking for trouble.
And invariably it usually and duly found us.
Factor in injuries, a lack of midfielder options and you can see why the away form was so poor.


6.) 13 Mar 2023 23:53:32
Aside from the injury issues, and this change in tactics that clearly is a mistake. I think we have to question attitudes. The team as a whole seem motivated only in the "Big" games usually.

I've long said that in a lot of games we would go through periods of complacency and now it has spread into full games.

Also yes, question some decisions being made. After the first 15 minutes against Bournenouth we did not look like scoring, Salah had the poorest game out of the attackers, yet he was kept on. I know. he can in a minute do something. but sometimes it doesn't matter who the player is. if they are playing rubbish. take them off. it just has a even worse effect on the rest of the team.


7.) 14 Mar 2023 06:18:23
I have blamed the tactics for most of the season OP, but we have showed recently that the ability on the pitch is there. The inconsistent performances, I. e beating City, Utd and being unlucky v Arsenal slaughtering Bournemouth 9-0!and Utd 7-0 when the latter was the in form team in Europe, all this says to me there is a laziness and attitude problem in the squad. Klopp needs to sort it out and go back to being ruthless, axing players if they are not showing 100% every training session and every game like he did at the start I. e by selling probably our best defender in Sakho at the time for poor attitude. Ali, Robbo, Nunez and Bajcetic are the only players worthy of the shirt right now in my opinion on effort alone.


8.) 14 Mar 2023 07:32:48
I read it totally differently West. These players can raise their game at different stages and if things go their way are cable of beating teams by big scores. But on a week in week out basis the squad is nowhere near good enough and players are not as good as they once were.

If we started next season with the same squad and a better attitude, we would still be a long way off the top. Major changes are needed.


9.) 14 Mar 2023 09:56:56
I think we need to stop confusing confidence with attitude. We play well against the bigger teams, yet seem to have totally dropped off against teams we should be beating. You can't tell me we are more confident against City than we are against Bournemouth? Its attitude. The attitude in some games has stunk. Drifting around the pitch, not tracking back, letting players run past as you just stop trying to keep up. Its happen time and time again but not in the bigger games. Arrogance and attitude are causing more issues than confidence. Beating United 7-0 gives you low confidence? No it gives you a lot of confidence, but if attitude and applicatiin are not there you end up loosing 1-0 to the bottom side the next game. Give me 11 players suffering with confidence issues but have a never say die attitude and apply themselves 100% game in game out over 11 players who are confident but just expect to beat " lesser " teams any day.


10.) 14 Mar 2023 11:32:43
We have reverted back to the team that struggled against teams that sit back and counter.
I think that’s why we are doing worse away from home and against so called lower opposition teams, who are more likely to use this tactic against us.
I think with a new front 3 with a pretty awful midfield behind it we have struggled to break teams down and with Fabinho and our other defensive issues the counter has been particularly effective against us as well.
Throw in a devastating injury record and you have all the ingredients for our form dropping off a cliff.
I’m sure Klopp will address the issues before next season though.


11.) 14 Mar 2023 11:33:47
Karlos, interesting that you brought up what happened within the first 15 mins vs Bmouth. It looked like we went in there thinking we’ll just try to get it done within the first 15 to 20 mins and then control the game and start making changes for Madrid cos we did well during that time span and then everything went dead.

They seemed to be shocked that nothing had happened and looked like they had no plan to handle a scenario where we did not make the diff after 20 mins hence, the frustration, poor play and stinking attitude.

I mean, Look at Salah’s pen. He missed it by a LOT and which showed a distinct lack of focus cos I’m not sure he even looked to see where the goal was before shooting. That’s how badly he missed. This lack of focus and concentration only seems to come when playing lesser teams which explains partly why we halos to near all bottom feeders away from home. Not saying I’m right but just giving my opinion.

I think we’ve been competitive with city now for the last 4 seasons and in that period “ hopefully my math is correct😏” city has won 7 trophy’s and if we can win the champions league on Saturday it will be 7 for us also. Over those 4 years I would not swap their trophies for ours,

cauli kid

1.) 23 May 2022 11:49:27
Well the only trophy we've competed in under Klopp and not won now, is the Europa League so it's hard to be disappointed.

Last time we finished 1 point behind Man City in the league, we went and won the Champions League that season and then started the next season with a whopping 29 game unbeaten run to cruise to the title. These players react in the right way to disappointment so i fully expect us to bounce back!


2.) 23 May 2022 13:03:48
I think it's fair to say, this squad and coaching team know what it takes to win trophies now. They haven't been shy about talking about this "mentality reset" and "internal agreement" in January to spark this amazing run in 2022. That suggests they were not happy with the performance levels of the first half of the season and did something about it. I am sure they will take that into the next season.

I get the feeling that the winning culture that Klopp has instilled is running right the way through the club now and all of the players are embracing it. That bodes well for going again and again! This culture I hope, will be Klopp's biggest legacy when he leaves.


3.) 23 May 2022 14:53:45
City seem to be a little bit iffy in cup competitions. Not sure if they overlook other clubs thinking they'll blow them away or what.
They'll win a champions league at some point, they're too strong and too rich not to.
The good news for us is knockout football seems to suit us, we are very good at raising our game for that one game when we need to and finding that extra gear.

In the league its a different matter, City are a machine in the league and we have been superb keeping pace with them but I do wonder how long we can keep that up. I actually think we'll drop away a bit in the league next year in terms of points. I think we will still finish second as the gap between city and pool compare to the rest of the league is huge.

The trouble is the players we sign come with that little bit of extra risk as we have to be more shrewd with transfers. We can't afford to buy the finished article, I don't think i've ever seen Liverpool seriously in contention for a player who is deemed the best in the world in his position. (a lot of people laughed at us for signing virj) . It makes it all the more satisfying when we find those players don't get me wrong, but we can't continue churning hidden gems season after season.

Its great that we have signed so many young talents ie elliot, carvalho, jones etc but not every young player will turn out to be a world beater. Some will, some wont.

The issue for us currently is replacing the older lads and the lads who aren't going to stay.

Personally I think salah wants out, we don't know the deal with mane yet and bobby . Either way that's a lot of goals that need replacing.
People will point to Diaz and the start that he's made and rightly so, he's been mega sharp since coming in. But let's say he is the direct replacement should mane leave, that leaves him having to score 23 goals to equal manes contribution this year.

Will he do that? Maybe. For everything he's brought to the club he has put a lot of shots wide or blasted shots straight at defenders. Next year he would hopefully start to hit the target more which we would need. by no means is this a slight on the lad by the way, just an observation.

Then if salah leaves that's 31 goals we are losing (this year) . Ideally you would need to make a signing to replace Salah, but for those sort of number you need big money. We don't have that sort of money, even if we managed to bring in a fee for mane, bobby or salah its not going to be much and certainly not enough to buy a guaranteed like for like replacement. Again people will say about the lad we've signed from Fulham but he's still a kid and they're big shoes to fill. A.


4.) 23 May 2022 15:04:39
Sorry eds, pressed send too soon on my last post.

Anyway going on.

If we beat Madrid in the final that's when the real hard work starts for us. We do need signings and we have no money and seemingly no money coming in. City have bought Haaland which only looks like it will make things even more difficult next season, hopefully things don't quite click for them but then we are relying on city collapsing rather than us winning it ourselves.

All that being said we have made the best signing of the season when Klopp penned a new deal, that's more important than any of the players signing in my opinion.

This season has been tough but next year will be a real slog.

We are as big globally as most other teams on the planet, (much bigger than some of the blank cheque book teams who we won't mention) but yet money seems to come into Liverpool via one door and straight out of the other. We could of won the quad this year, signed a new shirt sponsor, sold the rights to name the stadium and we still wouldn't be paying a player half a million per week.

Whos knows how you get to that level?

Anyway, the point of the whole post is as great as we have been this season we have a few obstacles to navigate in summer and even if we win the champions league we are going to have to pull of some transfers of epic proportions should salah, mane and bobby leave.


5.) 23 May 2022 15:48:31
City have won 6 of the last 9 league cups and 1 of the last 4 FA cups.
They are definitely iffy in the CL but not sure about cups overall. That’s a fairly decent return now the league cup and FA cup are no longer Mickey Mouse cups.


6.) 23 May 2022 17:18:43
Yes JK I will correct myself on that onw, I was mainly thinking about the CL.

Thing is with the domestic cups is you can play cannon fodder all the way up to the finals.

Perhaps I should of said city are iffy when they're under pressure in Europe. Maybe its the intense atmospheres that they don't get on with.


7.) 23 May 2022 19:01:51
Ashy 100% agree mate. Not sure why but they crumble under pressure in Europe.

Reading a lot about a massive overhaul, I believe that would be a mistake we’ve not got the finances for that. I would like to see Morton replace Millie and also buy bissouma and Diaz, sell all loan players I think and Keita Phillips, Williams, divvy and also kelleher though I really like him we need the money and he could raise reasonable money and replace with a veteran. Jones and Elliot would be very unlucky to miss this amount of games again.
Would mane stay to rotate with other forwards.
I know Thiago has missed lots of games but is class when he plays as long as Elliot, Jones and bissouma are the as well we should be good and allow us to rotate.

You should also add AOC in the mix.


2.) 14 Jan 2022 18:22:42
Wouldnt be selling Van Den Berg.


3.) 14 Jan 2022 19:02:15
Replace out of contract Adrian and Karius with Pitaluga.
Replace Milner with Morton.
Bissouma to replace Keita
Fabio Carvalho to replace Ox
Luis Diaz to replace Mane (the sacrificial lamb) . Bobby gets a contract extension on lower wages
Replace Taki with Kaide Gordon
Replace Origi with another versatile forward like Bowen or Raphinha.

Premier League Manager 2023.

So happy for thiago on his wages to carry on the way he's going? No way. get him shifted.

I’m sorry but Corbyn and his little band would have put us into a communist state with everything that goes with. We never need extremists either way to try and make a society where we can all try to better ourselves.
