Most enjoyable, least stressful game of the season. Thank flip for the Liverpool Legends game! Still want the win though! C'mon Reds. And thanks goes out to everyone involved!

Only a draw at home. Kenny out.

28 Mar 2026 15:59:13
Watching the legends on TV, Thiago would walk into the first.

Agree6 Disagree0

28 Mar 2026 17:15:10
He's been brilliant.

28 Mar 2026 19:08:58
He'd have to walk because he can't run with those legs.

29 Mar 2026 09:34:46
We walk at the moment anyway.

27 Mar 2026 21:40:54
Good night for Wirtz, 2 goals and 2 assists!

Agree5 Disagree0

28 Mar 2026 04:34:41
Yes, agree. Seems a different player for Germany, and they clearly know how to get the best out of him. He hardly ever shoots when he plays for us, but has got it in him. Just hope we see the best of him, maybe when we have a different manager who will play a system that is more suited to his game.

28 Mar 2026 06:39:33
Since he's not Dutch, he's not allowed to shoot when he plays for LFC....

Only Grav and Coady have the freedom to shoot.

28 Mar 2026 08:48:23
Delighted for Wirtz tonight. But it's one game, he's been the same player for Germany all season as he has been for Liverpool. Which is grand, by the way, he's been getting better as he gets stronger. But he hasn't been pulling up trees for Germany all season.

28 Mar 2026 10:09:48
Flo, take a seat, mate. Are you ok? A half complement from you. Wow, are you feeling ok?

28 Mar 2026 10:33:47
Oh right, I never compliment the players, only criticise them to make my mate Arne look better. No, Albey, I just like balance. A sharing of blame or acclaim. When we won the league last year I believe Arne and the players did incredibly. This year I also believe they are all in it together.

Why it probably seems like I over criticise the players is because ye get tired of seeing Slot being blamed for the bad weather and the price of fuel. Praise or derision has to be shared among all involved in my opinion, but that's just me.

28 Mar 2026 11:48:52
I'm with you, Florian. Going back, a poster asked whether we were one of the same person!

I'm not a Slot apologist, and he has to go, and no doubt will in the summer. However, like you say, Florian, the players have to accept responsibility for how muck we've been all season. It's not all on Slot, though he will pay the price.

28 Mar 2026 12:30:44
Keep going, FM. I disagree with almost everything you say, mate, but you're a good poster!

I do agree on the players having to take some of the responsibility - it's not been talked about enough. Their lack of professionalism this season has been shocking.

28 Mar 2026 14:19:34
I love the way posters feel the need to say they disagree with nearly everything I say as they agree with me or they think im "alright", even though everyone else doesn't. ? Oh to be one of the in crowd. Your 2nd paragraph is all I have been saying all season, Salah. And everyone sees it as it's been said more and more on here everyday, just for most of the season people preferred to bury their heads in the sand and blame it all on one person.

Then you see all these lists of people's preferred ins and outs for the summer and the outs are as long as your arm. ?

28 Mar 2026 16:28:38
Agree, Rome. I don't agree with everything Florian says, but he's been one of the more reasonable and brave posters this season imo.

28 Mar 2026 19:17:22
Do you agree with everything anyone says, Funky?

27 Mar 2026 13:06:09
Have any of "In the know" heard about an extension to Slot for three years?

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Mar 2026 17:14:58
Yes... along with the next 450m as well.

27 Mar 2026 17:35:04
There's a bit of a sticking point in that the club have offered him a trailing 4-way gang which is individually switched but Slot is holding out for one with USB C ports too.

27 Mar 2026 18:41:32
My mate Wonky Bill works at Rymans in Manchester and he told me an interesting story. Arne himself came into the shop and asked what was the best wall planner around.
MMWB replied something along the lines of "You want it for 2026?"
And Slot, cool as you like, said, "No, I need one that covers three years...

in Anfield red, mate. Don't spare the moolah."

Proof of proof be needed that Slot has lined up an extension. I don't know about the yearly 450m summer spend, but Arne is here to stay. Good news for short haul flights between MCR and The Netherlands I'm sure.

26 Mar 2026 18:55:29
Does anyone else feel the diamond would work really well for us next season.

GK - ali, mama

RB - fimp, Bradley
LB - kerkez, new player
CB - vvd Gomez
CB - jacket, leoni

DM - grav, endo
CM - mac, trey
CM - sboz, new player
AM - wirtz, rio

ST - isak, fede
ST - Hugo, gakpo

Just my opinion.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Mar 2026 19:17:42
I think 532 or Diamond works well, but Rio will be the one who suffers as not a natural fit to that system.

26 Mar 2026 19:54:20
I think we might end up with 3 cbs, 2 wing backs, 2 cm, and 1 am behind 2 strikers. Something like Leoni, Vvd & Jacquet; Frimpong & Kerkez; Grav & Sobzo; Wirtz; Ekitike & Isak.

27 Mar 2026 11:43:37
Gomez can't be relied upon because he's so fragile, would be daft going into next season with him still in the squad.

27 Mar 2026 13:17:54
I think if Real or any other make any sort of reasonable offer for Macca, we should let him go. He has lost a yard, it seems, and, with the PL getting more physical, he looks completely out of place.

27 Mar 2026 16:36:21
Looking at Xabi's Bayern, it's 2 att mids, 1 up top.

If rumours are true, and he uses that system, think big money will go elsewhere and an option come in for the wing.

27 Mar 2026 18:54:04
If Alonso brings his Leverkusen 3421, I would be very excited to see this team in that set up, with a couple of reinforcement in midfield and the backline.
Dunno why, but iv always really liked the 3 at the back with wingbacks set up.

28 Mar 2026 00:40:42
I'd be very underwhelmed if we start playing with 3 centre backs and 2 strikers.

28 Mar 2026 15:46:37
I do and I don't. We don't have sufficient backup for a 2 striker system right now. Isak and Hugo are not 90 minute men and both pick up injuries too easily. If we got stuck with Chiesa and Gakpo up front for any extended period, you can write off a title challenge.

Also, we've had monstrous success with wingers. We've lost some serious tenacity out wide. Mane, Diaz, now Salah's gone, Rio's too young to pick up the slack by himself, and as good as Hugo and Isak are, they just don't bring that same energy.

I think we need 2 wingers to bring some of that explosivity back. We've desperately missed it this season.

Zero interest in 3 at the back, that's for sure, we can't even cope with 4 at the moment. You could chuck 6 back there and we'd still struggle, never mind 3.

28 Mar 2026 22:49:32
Agree with Chewy, I am not a fan of 3 cbs generally, it takes away an attacker or midfielder. Generally the best don't need 3 cbs, and if a team plays 1 up front, u have 3 marking 1 player...
One of the biggest issues in Amorin's team at United was the lack of attackers. And more defenders doesn't mean better defending either.

26 Mar 2026 12:11:31
PSG are an utter disgrace… Hope we are more motivated now to put them to the sword.

Agree4 Disagree0

26 Mar 2026 18:00:49
They asked and it was granted. I don't see an issue.

26 Mar 2026 19:19:27
I think what makes it wrong is that Lens are battling with them for the French title, and it hands PSG a big unfair advantage.

Pretty sure if we were battling with Arsenal or City for the title at this point next year, and we weren't in Europe, everyone would go mad.

26 Mar 2026 21:50:56
Its also wrong because one team is going to have to play a tough champions league quarter final then an ultra competitive Premier League fixture in between before the return quarter final 6 days later.The other team gets a week to rest up in between the games.in a sporting sense its unfair.

27 Mar 2026 09:24:42
They asked and it was granted. Liverpool didn't ask, so we can't moan. If we beat them then it will be all the sweeter.

27 Mar 2026 10:35:59
Liverpool wouldn't bother asking. They already know the answer. The TV companies rule in England.

27 Mar 2026 11:04:05
So, PSG took advantage of not being at the behest of TV companies. Unfortunately, SKY and TNT own the PL in all but name.

{Ed001's Note - PSG are owned by the guy who owns the TV company that shows Ligue 1.}

27 Mar 2026 12:38:38
They didn't though. It was their league's decision. Should have asterix's over everything they win. ? They have gained a competitive advantage over both LFC and Lens in this instance.

27 Mar 2026 11:47:06
PSG took advantage because their chief executive is on the board of Ligue 1, no doubt he filled a few pockets with non consecutive unmarked readies to make this happen, in a brown envelope of course. As is tradition with these things. Not that it matters, Slot's incompetence will get us knocked out regardless of whether they played or not that weekend.

28 Mar 2026 15:53:45
WD40, you'd want to go to Specsavers then, mate. Not only does rescheduling help them in the Champions League, but it also gives them more time to prepare for a domestic game during a title race. How do you not see an issue with that? It's corrupt.

End of. They might not be breaking rules, but they're benefitting from an incredible level of favouritism that puts them at a huge advantage both domestically and in Europe. It's a complete joke. If Lens asked for a reschedule I bet they wouldn't get it.

26 Mar 2026 11:54:00
Thoughts on summer signings?
For me

Ins:

Harry Wilson on a free.
Minteh
Gordon
Schlotterbeck
Wharton
Barrios (Atletico Madrid)

Out:
Gakpo
Macallister
Salah.

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Mar 2026 14:12:15
Harry Wilson? He wasn't good enough when he left, and that still remains the case. He is having an excellent season, alright, but he is nowhere near the level of player we should be looking at.

26 Mar 2026 15:13:03
Agree with Robbie, I would rather have Harvey as an option than Harry Wilson - Wilson is OK, but Elliot is better both as an AM and RW.

I've liked Minteh for around 18m now, and he is growing into his early promise. Would still lean towards Diomande than Minteh, on balance, I think he has a higher bar.

26 Mar 2026 15:50:34
Is Harvey better than Harry Wilson though?

{Ed025's Note - not for me..

26 Mar 2026 18:48:24
In my view, and I've seen much more of Harvey in previous seasons than Harry, I would say most definitely.

Harvey has much more pressing in my view, and that's not Harry's game, from what I have seen. We will need to build his confidence back, though, after languishing for the last season.

Harry is better at set pieces, but we already have that covered with Dom.



I would love to see Harvey back, probably as first rotation rather than a starter as I see his best position in the Wirtz role, and he's nowhere near that.

Also Harvey is 6 years younger and would probably cost less in wages (as he's not coming to us on a free).

26 Mar 2026 21:53:39
Wilson has probably the best left foot in the league and can pull out a cracker or two. I like the two players but if I was playing a final 2moro and had to pick one it'd be Wilson.

27 Mar 2026 11:52:57
Minteh & Gordon are underwhelming, to say the least. End product isn't their strong point, just a pair of headless chickens running about aimlessly. Not at all sold on Wharton either.

If, as it seems, we miss out on Champions League football, we'll have a very reduced budget and will probably be back to taking punts on dross like we did with Assaidi, Borini & Allen.

27 Mar 2026 12:40:40
Why does it seem we'll miss out, Victor? Are we not in the spots as it stands? Who would you go for this summer, Victor?

28 Mar 2026 17:20:31
I'd be very disappointed if that was our window, we'd be right back to battling for 4th again next season. Minteh and Gordon are not the level we need, definitely not top of my list, not even close. Wharton gets the nod, I'd rather have Bastoni over Schlotterbeck, but would be pretty happy with either.



Viktor, completely agree. Not up to par. We've already been warned not to expect big money spending this summer. Seems the club is already preparing us for the possibility of not qualifying, which means they've fully accepted the possibility, absolutely insane, nothing short of disgraceful.

28 Mar 2026 19:16:35
Very simple Florian. We don't win many games. The so called "easier games" against the likes Wolves, Spurs & Brighton we took a measly one point out of and there's no reason to think we'll get any more against Fulham, United, Chelsea, Villa, Everton, Palace and Brentford.

You're delusional if you think otherwise. Who I want us to sign is irrelevant fact is that without champions league football there will be a reduced budget and it's been widely reported that there will be no repeat of last summer, so it will be back to the dross.

26 Mar 2026 10:17:46
May I just say; 'COYBIG!' tonight! ??????????.

{Ed025's Note - im with you all the way mate..

Agree8 Disagree4

26 Mar 2026 13:45:14
COYBIG ??, massive game, my nerves are shot to bits.

26 Mar 2026 09:53:11
Read something today on BBC I found interesting. Three of the top 6 in Chelsea, Villa and Lfc are in the bottom five for distance ran this season. Chelsea have been outran in every single league game. Only two of the top 6 are in the top 5 for distance covered in Man City and Arsenal.

Leeds are actually 2nd for distance covered. When Liverpool won the league last year, they were 16th in the table for distance covered but only Spurs, Newcastle and Bournemouth done more sprints than us.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Mar 2026 10:11:06
I think it's a case of a lot of teams trying to copy Man City's pass pass pass style of play over the last few years. It works grand when u have world class players all over the pitch, like City had for a long number of years.

When lesser teams do it, it just a v poor watch. Just a pity Klopp's LFC didn't get the upper hand over City as I think teams would've copied that style, far, far better to watch.

26 Mar 2026 10:32:15
Yeh agree with that, Digger. Man City also had real blistering pace on the wings for that cutting edge. Klopp's team certainly got the better of City in head to heads, just not over full seasons. Maybe that's why Klopp went away from that way of playing.

28 Mar 2026 17:31:53
Worth noting that the Arsenal and City are doing the legwork and still in form, whilst us, Chelsea and Villa are all struggling. I don't take much from distance covered as a stat, by itself alone, it doesn't mean anything, as it depends entirely on the style of play. What does concern me is when you see a low stat for distance covered coupled with the fact that the team is clearly unfit for most of the season.

If we're not running on the pitch, we damn sure better be putting in the work off it, and it's obvious we're not. That's beyond unacceptable.
