Edd001 is trents knee problem anything to worry about long term? Was supposed to have been a knock and he's been out for an extended period with it. Some players are never the same with knee injuries.

{Ed001's Note - not these types of knee problems.}

27 Mar 2024 18:34:54
Edd001 thanks.

Agree0

{Ed001's Note - welcome.}

27 Mar 2024 11:41:22
Hi Eds,

Hope you're all doing well?

I wondered if there was any updates on the fitness of the following and if there's any idea on when we can expect them back?

Alisson
Trent
Jones
Jota

Look forward to your feedback when you get a spare minute.

Thanks in advance! :-)

{Ed001's Note - Alisson is likely to be a couple of weeks away.
Trent and Jota should be back the week before.
Jones should be back now.}

27 Mar 2024 13:15:53
Great stuff, thank you for the prompt response! :-)

Agree2

{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}

27 Mar 2024 14:42:15
Nice one, Ed. Thanks.

Agree2

{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}

27 Mar 2024 10:37:29
Out of the 3 other top 4 sides. which players would you take and who would you replace in our squad? 1 from each.

27 Mar 2024 10:58:29
Get rid of Trent and I'd take Rice.

Agree0

27 Mar 2024 11:25:18
If I could pick one from each club, it’d be Saliba from Arsenal, Rodri from City and Douglas Luis from Villa (if Spurs were to win their game in hand and leapfrog Villa I’d go for Son, despite his age) .

Agree2

27 Mar 2024 11:28:10
Saliba, rice and one of doku / saka / foden.

With konate, Diaz and potentially endo (for rice would mainly be an age factor or slighttt edge on him), but would say endo is a tight call really. KDB is also one that only age / injuries this season wouldn’t be one - even then debatable as when on form and fit is the best midfielder in the league.

Agree2

27 Mar 2024 11:44:50
If Salah is leaving, I would take Phil Foden from ManCity. I would take Martinelli from Arsenal to replace Diaz. And again, if Salah is leaving, I would take Bowen from Aston Villa to replace him, or Douglas Luiz to replace Thiago (it's a bit cheating since Thiago is leaving anyway) .

Agree2

{Ed025's Note - i think Bowen plays for West Ham ArAy..

27 Mar 2024 13:12:12
MightyMosive - Doku? I don’t understand that one.
Arsenal - Rice or Saka (Saka is great but wouldn’t start for us while Salah is around)
Man City - De Bruyne (Rodri is useful but KDB is by far City’s best player)
Spurs - Son
Aston Villa - Probably none (Watkins is good and makes Villa a MUCH better team, but we’ve got great attackers already)

Agree3

27 Mar 2024 13:16:32
Thanks Ed025, for the public embarrassment, LOL. Further proof that I don't pay any attention to the other teams in the EPL. 😂.

Agree0

{Ed025's Note - to be fair ArAy they both play in claret and blue mate, just dont be linking any Burnley players next.. :)

27 Mar 2024 13:53:52
Lowe- tbh like the look of him and is young so with right coaching looks like he has a lot of potentially.

Added his pace and with Diaz, love him, but at times can be incredibly frustrating with trying too much or taking too many touches. Other than that was thinking more of natural positions and foden / saka both play right and salah is levels above both.

Agree0

27 Mar 2024 16:48:44
if mo Salah leaves in the summer then Bowen would be on the sshortlist.

Agree0

27 Mar 2024 17:28:59
@Kop That - Bowen is a good player but he is 28 this year so can’t see us going for him. It would be good to go for someone younger who is good but with plenty of room to improve further.

Agree1

27 Mar 2024 17:55:43
Declan Rice
Phil Foden
Van De Ven
Saka.

Agree1

27 Mar 2024 18:04:22
This has turned into some kind of joke post 😳.

Agree0

27 Mar 2024 19:15:34
Most the replies seem to fail the OP’s actual question, with some listing 2-3 players from Arsenal etc and some even choosing players from outside the top 4 😂

Wdw, do Liverpool really need another 2 CM’s in Rodri and Douglas luiz?

Agree1

28 Mar 2024 08:32:46
Rice
Kdb
Van der ven
Luiz.

Agree0

28 Mar 2024 22:38:20
@Fuser, probably not mate, but . I was treating it more as a ‘what if’ rather than looking at specific positions for the current squad.

@Lowel, KDB was a brilliant midfielder with the emphasis on attack, not quite the player he was as his hamstrings seem to have reached their sell by date and his game time seems to be something that Pep is taking more seriously. Rodri, on the other hand, still provides the City defence with a shield - great footballer in my opinion and still (just about) at his peak. City’s wobble earlier this season occurred when he wasn’t playing. A bit like Arsenal imploding at the end of last season when their defence relied on Saliba who had the injury that coincided with them blowing up in the title race.

Agree0

27 Mar 2024 09:00:20
So Robbo injured playing for Scotland and may miss the next few games . I hate international football with a passion. Dull turged predicatale and not in the slightest bit entertaining. All you can hope for is your players don't get injured whilst away and unfortunately one of our key one has. Let's hope its not to serious.

27 Mar 2024 10:18:12
Whats worse is players being asked to play both games at this stage of the season in relatively pointless friendlies.

Agree8

27 Mar 2024 11:26:51
Exactly, Semibythesea3. Apparently, you're not allowed to rotate during int'l friendlies these days. Not sure that's a rule, tho.

Agree0

27 Mar 2024 11:54:51
I am sure England would be in division 2 or lower if they played in club football so weird how bad they are. It’s actually hilarious.

Agree2

27 Mar 2024 13:17:59
Would you classify England as lower than Bayern Munich or higher? 😵.

Agree0

27 Mar 2024 14:01:45
Man City players always seem to get a ‘knock’ when international friendlies come along. Maybe we should jump aboard.

Agree1

27 Mar 2024 17:43:14
@Darwins, Walker and Stones were both injured in the friendlies.

Agree2

27 Mar 2024 07:56:42
Lots of discussions about Trent which got me thinking. I know we probably need a like for like replacement for Mo (which is probably impossible) but does anyone think Trent could do a job there with Conor behind/ overlapping him? I'd like to try it to see if it could work.

27 Mar 2024 08:38:44
Yeah let’s stick vvd up front aswell he scored a goal once.

Agree6

27 Mar 2024 08:43:38
I could see Trent playing as the 10 in a new formation but not on the wing. You need searing pace and tricky to break the line out wide.

Agree6

27 Mar 2024 10:14:37
Nah. Loke, I’m sure Trent can do a job like how Fabinho did a job at CB for a few games. But players need to be played where there strengths are and imo where they can buy in and have the biggest impact on the team. RW would be to fill a gap not a long term replacement for Mo.

Agree1

27 Mar 2024 11:29:39
I think TAA would be the playmaker as one of the two in a 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 formation. Not sure if we will ever play the formation but he might get a chance to showcase in Gareth’s side at the Euros.

Agree1

27 Mar 2024 11:30:52
Spot on, @Faith. Why would I want to play a player in another position just to "do a job" when we can play him at his best position and sign an actual specialist at the position we want him to "do a job at"? Never understood that logic, personally.

Agree0

27 Mar 2024 11:56:10
Trent is a central midfielder and that’s that.

Agree1

27 Mar 2024 18:56:39
The only person not to see it is the very successful professional Footballer manager Jurgen Klopp.

For a player who’s not a right back Trent’s done alright there over the years.

Agree2

27 Mar 2024 21:09:56
Trents a rightback, ever since he made his debut. don't think he would ever be a regular for us in the middle.

Agree0

27 Mar 2024 07:52:52
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new player profile about, Kostas Tsimikas

27 Mar 2024 09:08:32
On the point of rashness Ed, don't you think Robertson also sometimes got the same problem? He likes charging up the field trying to win the ball and sometimes didn't come close to it and left our CB exposed. Seen it quite few times last and this season.

Agree2

{Ed001's Note - yes.}

27 Mar 2024 09:28:59
You think that's down to our very own tactic of trying to win the ball higher up field or just both player's own traits?

Agree2

27 Mar 2024 10:15:47
I’m pretty sure Klopp has commented after games that players need to make the decision about when to press and how. I do think Robbo presses and misses a lot more than he is criticised for. Especially when considering the amount of criticism his mate on the other wing gets 🫶🏼.

Agree2

27 Mar 2024 11:02:41
I’m not buying the “it’s Klopp’s instructions” logic. Klopp likes his players to use their brains when playing, and Robertson’s pressing mistakes are usually are sign of the opposite. At 30 years old and with 6 years as the starting left back in Klopp’s team, he shouldn’t be making errors like that anymore.

Agree1

27 Mar 2024 17:08:12
Robbo plays with a lot of passion but he is too headstrong . too many injuries now . if we really want to win this league then we have to keep on improving the squad and first team . I do think the left back from Fulham would improve us.

Agree0

26 Mar 2024 18:49:30
This is going to go down really well but if anyone actually took the time to watch a certain style of football Lee carsley would be right up there. I'm waiting.

26 Mar 2024 21:11:54
A manager going from England u21 to one of the biggest club jobs in football. What could possibly go wrong?

Agree3

26 Mar 2024 23:07:26
You jumped too high there Acered.

I hope he takes the Irish job though.

Agree0

27 Mar 2024 01:32:32
I'll have whatever you're having mate.

Agree2

27 Mar 2024 11:37:25
Acered, these are essentially kids playing junior inter'l football. Come on, man.

Agree0

27 Mar 2024 11:37:56
Greggs are hiring.

Agree0

27 Mar 2024 18:09:58
We will see never said he is ready for LFC but certainly has something about him and Salah you couldn’t have what I’m on mate.

Agree0
