Use our rumours form to send us liverpool transfer rumours.

15 Oct 2017 18:39:24
i know there is a lot of talk about our current struggles in the first team!

BUT can we all take a moment to appreciate how well our U23's and U18's are doing, really positive in the long run showing remarkable improvement. Especially considering there are a lot of players playing above their age group in both teams.

We have a talented, raw young forward, playing really well for Wales, that should of been on the bench ahead of Sturridge.

IMO.

Believable12 Unbelievable6

15 Oct 2017 20:24:11
I got to say I'm disappointed not to have seen more of Woodburn this season. Has he played at all for us?


15 Oct 2017 23:38:16
ye throw Woodburn out to the pack of wolves that is the liverpool fans.


16 Oct 2017 00:58:44
I don’t agree at all faith. He is coming on for his country but doesn’t play at all for us. Sturridge was class but now doesn’t look like he’s trying. He didn’t burst a gut to make an impression on the few opportunities he has been given. If Woodburn was playing for other teams, spurs are the big ones I’m thinking of, he would at least get opportunities. I know if he’s played too young and gets grief it may shatter his confidence but at some point he may get pissed off waiting and bugger off to another club. I’m sure there’d be no shortage of offers either. I’d definitely give him a chance and I think he should be on the bench before sturridge and probably play after Solanke. But that’s just my opinion. After all they are left me arses. everybody has 1.


16 Oct 2017 08:01:28
I'm all for throwing wooburn out there, just as long as he is out there to develop his game. If we sending him out there to, how you say, save our supposedly lost sEason, then no. Let the dude develop as he is.


15 Oct 2017 16:23:09
Now if Lovren had just done what VVD did just now he'd be getting slated (Southampton Newcastle game)

Believable10 Unbelievable1

15 Oct 2017 16:52:40
Speaking of the same game, Lascelles is playing well again, I think we should have a look at him. He’s a very good defender, a leader and decent organiser.


15 Oct 2017 16:57:12
Vvd is bang average, we spend 75 mill on him is will become the worst but in premier league history, the lack of decent centre backs is worrying.


15 Oct 2017 17:16:57
Shelvey just magnificent passer of the ball! Another Benitez signing! Call him whatever, the lad is terrific passer!


15 Oct 2017 17:20:19
I am of the opinion that lovren and VVD are very similar players. Both jump out of defence and would be both as bad in playing a high line we play. They both make mad rash challenges when completely unnecessary and can't do as the manager has told them to.


15 Oct 2017 18:05:38
Nath

Yet Klopp is adamant on him and ONLY HIM!


15 Oct 2017 19:14:56
Their is a major difference between playing a high line and park the bus as most prem teams play now. Either buy a centre back from a team that play a high line or one that can adapt and listen to instructions. VVD isn't suited to a high line with the challenges he makes and would get caught out.


15 Oct 2017 20:00:37
We won't get him anyway, I really believe that as well. Not only will Southampton be stubborn again, Barcelona and Juve are looking at him as well. He won't be a Liverpool player. If and a big if we do get him, it wouldn't be in Jan IMO.


15 Oct 2017 20:40:45
Lascalles plays in a system where they park the bus. We don't play that way so bringing him in will yield the same woeful results that Everton is now seeing after Michael Keane played in an ultra defensive setup at Burnley. Like Nath said, we play a high line so get a CB who can play in that system or get one in who can be coached to play in that system otherwise, move on. As for VVD, I am concerned with his level of play right now as his mistakes are starting to mount. Is it cos he does not wanna play for them anymore hence he's downing tools or is he as rash as he looks? I don't know. I had my reservations about VVD last season BUT right now, he simply does not look bothered.


15 Oct 2017 22:10:53
VvD was playing entire game not interested. like the first 25 mins of Couts yesterday.

VVD would be another bad signing and would be pivotal of Klopps reign.

Yes, sad that Shelvy has good passing range decent game intelligence to go with his attitude issues. If that could be set right, he could be leading eng midfield for sure. He is bettet than most of them out there.

Was nice to see Pelligrino and Rafa againt one another.

Cheers.


15 Oct 2017 23:21:15
Harry I’m sure there’s loads of CBs that Klopp would like to sign but they have to a) be available for transfer b) want to come to us, and c) be at a price we can afford. VVD was the only one who ticked all of the above boxes of the CBs that we wanted to sign. End of. Stop using that as a stick to beat the manager with.


16 Oct 2017 02:21:17
Give him a chance,
He's been out injured since January and is definitley playing within himself,
Add in all our nonsense during the transfer window and its no wonder he's below par,


16 Oct 2017 06:00:01
Ings

Why don’t you name a few or read the post or check with the editors who we were interested! Lol!
The fact is there weren’t any! Koulibaly was the only one we were interested and that went no where!
Klop wants VVD! Either you accept Klopp is chasing a medicore, terrible, out of position Center backs, or change your opinion on the player!

Lol VVD would cost us in the excess of £70 mill and you claim he ticks all the boxes including FAIR TRANSFER FEE!

Your obsession over Klopp is a LOL!


16 Oct 2017 07:45:44
The fact a load of grown men are saying LOL is enough to make me laugh out loud ;)


16 Oct 2017 09:12:01
Napoli plays a high line and they score for absolute fun. Their defense is good if you compare it to their high line high attacking set up. But unlike us they don't complicate the midfield by playing hard core B2B players all over the pitch. They okay a specialist Holding mid which helps them to sweep the first and immediate danger thrown at to them. They also have a very good keeper ad two good full backs.

Are there any other team in Europe who plays high line? Let’s not buy anyone coz there aren't any!


16 Oct 2017 10:57:38
Harry, several teams in Germany alone, play the high line. The German national team plays the high line as well and so do Barca.

Excellent mate really looking forward to that one a player that's guts me never played in the premier league a feel he would of been a monster, would of loved him to wear the the shirt of lfc in his prime.

Hey Ed001, just reading Harry’s suggestion then and it gave me an idea.
How about a little piece on the history of the site? How it started, how all the Ed’s came to be involved, longest serving posters, top posters like macca, most memorable posts, most stressful times, biggest scoops, how the site has grown (how the hits to the site have increased etc)
I mean I know most of the answers already from numerous posts over the years but would be nice to see it all in one article.


{Ed001's Note - I have added that to the list.}

15 Oct 2017 14:34:53

One hell of idea that mikey another one to look forward to that is.


15 Oct 2017 15:57:02
We all have those players that we view differently through the nostalgia glasses as being some of the best, which of the players today do the eds think are as special as the likes of batistuta?


{Ed001's Note - Lewandowski probably is the only one. Maybe Kane could become that kind of level.}

15 Oct 2017 17:03:12
😂 "List"? Sounds more like an encyclopaedia.
Good luck with it ed👍.

15 Oct 2017 19:50:34
What about an article explaining which ed has gone to most extreme length of maintaining their sanity? Or the flip side which ed has gone the craziest?


16 Oct 2017 02:30:31
The real Ronoldo (not the current one) would be a good one Ed,

Especially if it could clarify about the health issues that apparently caused his weight gain,

What a footballer when in his prime,


{Ed001's Note - I will try and do what I can, but not sure what I could confirm on his weight. A friend of my mam's was working for Nike at the time of the World Cup (which was great as I had all the training kits etc that were never released from the national teams straight out of their allotment of kits!) and she did say a few things. However it was a long time ago and I am not sure if me ma kept in touch with her so I can speak to her and clarify what she knew.}

15 Oct 2017 13:49:30

Personally I want to see AOC starting against Maribor, this should be the game where we score lots of goals and get some confidence back, hopefully can give AOC some confidences too.

Believable11 Unbelievable0

15 Oct 2017 13:15:05
Good shout. Not his biggest fan but he showed energy and willing in his 15 minutes against United.


15 Oct 2017 13:44:38
I'd like to third that. For me against Maribor I'd like to see Solanke up top with Firminho just off him in a free role. Then I'd switch Salah to the left and Ox on the right. In the middle then I would have Coutinho and Hendo/ Can sitting. Personally I believe that would maintain our pace wide, give us more creativity in the middle with Coutinho and Firminho and make us more dangerous in attack.


15 Oct 2017 14:04:19
Spot on Jayden, I'd like that too.


15 Oct 2017 14:18:03
Let's be honest lads. 3 points is the priority and a clean sheet has got to be top of the list. Klopp has to play his strongest 11 - if he even knows what that is!

If we have a two/ three goal cushion with 25 mins to go, then great, try a few players. Not from the start though.

It's not guaranteed that wewillwon, our last fewperformances prove that.


Get the points in the bag, champions league isn't the place for giving squad player as a run out imo.


Cheers
Mr T.


15 Oct 2017 14:15:46
A midfield of Can - Firmino - Coutinho? If Can was a Fernandinho then this would beat City’s Fernandinho - Silva - KDB hands down! Can is a very good prospect but a long way off from a disciplined midfielder.


15 Oct 2017 14:36:42
Like you said Mr T a win is the priority and the midfield 3 and front 3 who seem to be untouchable have only won once in last 8 games. So if there's a need for change then surely it's now. Like you said does Klopp know his strongest 11. And considering we spent 40 mill on Ox he should be regarded as higher than giving a squad player a run out. Especially with Mane injured.


15 Oct 2017 20:43:00
We simply have to win this game, end of. I too, would start Ox on the wing and play Cou in CM with Firmino up top.


15 Oct 2017 23:33:14
Hopefully yesterday is just the start for Ox. He’s had a tough time but did more in 10 minutes than Martial, Rashford, Mickey and Lukaku put together. Hopefully he will start to settle now and kick on.


16 Oct 2017 02:32:40
Its a must win game,


15 Oct 2017 11:29:14
I posted the other day about DS needing to be moved on. And yesterday just confirmed it for me. We are playing Man U if there's one game you want the players to put some effort and fight in it's that game.
People say he needs games. But not for me. He's not going to get games if he doesn't want to run and close down from the front. Put in the hard work and you will get games. Jogging though the last 15-20 mins for me is not acceptable.
It happens to all players at some point legs have gone weather it's though injuries or age time to move on and find a striker that can score and run for the team.

Believable4 Unbelievable5

15 Oct 2017 12:02:21
Same here, show us you want to try and maybe he'd get more game time, yesterday he did nothing therefore how the hell can he be played more, you'd of thought given you've only got 15 or so mins to play you'd want to impress, but nothing was there from him. I'm not saying he should've scored, but he could've done a lot more then he did.

I'm a bit gutted to be honest regarding DS because I do think his time is up at the club which is a real shame.

Solanke ahead of him now for me.


15 Oct 2017 14:10:01
A think it time sturridge was moved on for all involved, he needs something different. Its plain to see that that the might reds and sturridge are no longer good for each other.


15 Oct 2017 14:26:23
I agree with all the comments above about sturridge he's scared to break into a sprint in case he gets injured again. for me while mane is out i would play solanke up top and drop courtinho back leave hendo or wijnaldum out the 3 CM ain't working if you watched coutinho yesterday he kept dropping back into CM to get the ball in my opinion his best position i would alo give WARD a run out.


15 Oct 2017 20:46:36
With all of you here. Studge simply no longer has it and the worst thing for me was that Origi had to leave on loan cos Studge could not be moved (per Ed01). Origi may not be the finished article yet BUT he is determined, motivated and eager to do well and shows effort every time he plays. He has scored 22 goals in 2 seasons as a 3rd choice striker. There is NO team in the PL whose 3rd choice striker can boast about those numbers. NONE whatsoever. We could have used him now cos at least he would show effort, has pace and power to burn and is a good lad.


16 Oct 2017 02:37:39
He'd be Perfect for Celtic,
The manager knows and rates him

He'd get to play in the Champs league to put himself in the big shop window,


15 Oct 2017 11:24:37
Good Morning Eds
hope your all well and to everyone else as well
Ed 01 could you please when you find the time do one of your articles on either George Weah, Marco Simone, Jean Pierre Papin or Ivan de la pena
apologies if any of these have been written about or mentioned already
also ED 25 or ED 01 could you please give me your opinion on why you feel Liverpool have not won the title for so long as we have had some pretty good managers and some dam good players in that period.

{Ed001's Note - they are all now in the list for the legends, cheers mate.

As for us, poor recruitment is the main issue. It has been appallingly bad since we lost Geoff Twentyman.}

Ed 01 Any chance of doing an article on Players who were lucky to be in the game and reasons how they actually made it. 2 that come to mind (you may disagree) Vinny Jones and Robbie Savage etc.


{Ed001's Note - I have added that to the to do list. I think that would be an interesting article to research, so I will defo do that when I can. Nice idea. You do have a point, I mean Jones ended up in Sweden, slept in a car etc.}

15 Oct 2017 12:17:24
Nice recommendation Jayden, I'd also like to read something like that mate.


15 Oct 2017 12:18:14
Cheers Ed 001. I look forward to reading the article in the future and interested to see who makes it on there.


{Ed001's Note - thank you for the suggestion, interesting idea that one.}

16 Oct 2017 02:43:50
You mentioned Twentyman Ed, another largely unsung hero for Liverpool,
He'd be a great shout for an article, to show the greats he scouted for LFC.

You must have a long list to get through now Ed?


{Ed001's Note - that is a great shout. Personally I think he deserves as much acclaim for our sustained period of success as anyone. A truly great scout.

The list was past 50 last time I counted, so should keep me going a while.}

15 Oct 2017 11:07:46
I am a little more optimistic then before about where we are going as a club and a team.
off the field things seem to be making progress sponsorship wise and on the field yes we are not where we should be in many eyes but take stock, we are in champions league currently, we now have a team that we expect to be beating man U and some of the other top teams where a few years ago we were hoping.
We have a manager who yes makes mistakes but fortunately for us doesn't just spend money for the sake of it, and will wait for the right player no matter how long it takes (Keita)
Im very happy after all this time that we can finally win matches and compete without sturridge being the main man (love him to bits) but a couple seasons ago we all felt that without him games would be tougher to win, now he is more a bonus to have then a be all and end all.
Maybe im just one of the fans who see the glass half full over being half empty.
I see plenty of room for improvement and for me that is the exciting thing, where will be be when we have all the right people in place and are firing on all cylinders? .
Now boys and girls is that not something to look forward to?

15 Oct 2017 20:50:13
Spot on, JJ. I love your optimism in the eye of a storm. YTYhat is what being a supporter is all about. It is not easy as it is a roller coaster all the way through. If it was that easy, everyone would do it. I'm always optimistic that things will get better as long as we are not out of it totally so keep the faith my friend and support the team though it all as there is always light at the end of the tunnel.


15 Oct 2017 10:49:08
I noticed Salah got some stick again yesterday (not for the first time) for not finishing chances ( even though he was our most creative player) yet Firminho is always defended for his finishing because of what else he brings to the team even though he is our striker. Similar to Hendo he is deemed essential to the team for what he brings but for me he does exactly what Allen used to do and Allen was more or less scape goated out of the club. As fans we seem to move the goal posts on what is deemed a good/ bad performance from 1 player to the next.

Believable3 Unbelievable10

{Ed001's Note - the same as Allen? Have you ever watched the two of them play? They are nothing alike. That is the most absurd comment I have ever seen on here.}

15 Oct 2017 11:14:24
How exactly are they even remotely similar? That comment is daft mate Ed001 is totally correct, they are nowhere near the same.


15 Oct 2017 11:15:57
lol I'll take that as a compliment Ed 01 as I've seen some absurd comments on here mate. For me though I stand by the comment. Hendo offers more closing down wise but apart from that 98% of the time both their passing range is 5-8 yards sidewards or backwards.


{Ed001's Note - what on earth? You never even mentioned Henderson. What are you on about?}

15 Oct 2017 11:26:24
Apologies I'm watching my son play rugby so rushed the initial comment so doesn't read great. I meant to compare Salah and Firminho for the crtitcism they receive for finishing and Hendo and Allen.


15 Oct 2017 11:23:49
Ed 01 my initial comment I was comparing Henderson (Hendo) to Allen. Not Firminho. Reading my comment back I can see where I have caused confusion. My bad English I apologise. I compared Firminho and Salah on finishing.


{Ed001's Note - ahhh now I understand. Ok but again I disagree, Allen was a headless chicken who did not understand how to press, Hendo does press. The problem is that the midfield 3 have no understanding and all just rush out to press the same usually.}

15 Oct 2017 11:42:58
I often wonder why we expect Firmino to score as many goals as a striker when he is clearly not a striker and never has been. If Klopp played Mignolet up front (don't rule it out) would we expect him to get as many goals as Rush or Fowler?


15 Oct 2017 11:47:45
No worries Ed 01 perhaps I'm being too harsh on Hendo and I do actually think Hendo is a better player than Allen and agree on the pressing. Just think when Allen had a similar pass percentage to Hendo (for same range of passes) he was lambasted and Hendo is held in high esteem. Keep up the great work on the site mate 👍.


{Ed001's Note - Hendo is not held in high esteem though, he gets pelters all the time. It is just some people will defend Hendo because he does show more at times, while Allen never offered a thing, bar huff and puff in the wrong areas.}

15 Oct 2017 12:40:19
Perhaps I am being a little bit too harsh on Hendo then Ed 001. Cheers for the replies and your views.


{Ed001's Note - I just wish he would impose himself more on games, then there would be no debate. Unfortunately he is not playing in a position that gives him a chance to really settle any argument, it is far too limited a role and the most important things it entails cannot really be seen unless you only watch him all game.

Cheers for the chat mate.}

15 Oct 2017 14:20:51
Henderson will be replaced next summer by a proper holding midfielder ( let’s hope its Julian Weigl ) while Wijnaldum is replaced by Kieta!
Don’t worry lads mediocrity will end by this season! Proper midfield on its way!


15 Oct 2017 20:36:46
If Migs played up front we'd have to tell him to aim for the corner flags.

Away to Palace last year we scored two, that's the last I remember.


15 Oct 2017 09:21:36
Fair enough a good performance yesterday but without the 3 pts it feels like a loss. Klopp or whoever is over transfers has to take a lot of the blame for the position we find ourselves in. I am not going to get into talking about centre backs as that's been done to death. An out and out goalscorer playing yesterday and the game was won easily. Some people will say Sturridge but he is the shadow of the player he once was. I really cannot see where the goals are going to come from in this team.

Believable2 Unbelievable3

15 Oct 2017 11:11:56
We've won 3 of our opening 8 league games. Yes it was a decent performance yesterday but Utd came not to play. Against a team playing for a draw then a decent performance is the minimum we should expect. We should be creating a lot more and winning these games. Where is our Stevie G or Suarez etc to grab these kinds of game by the scruff and is our match winner. We finished 4 th last season and this season anything less is regression. Fans are burying their heads In the sand saying we are only a couple of points off 4th when in fact during pre season those same fans were saying we were title challengers.


15 Oct 2017 20:05:42
How is it burying your head if you change your view with new information? Burying your head is when you don't change. As we have dropped points, too many to catch City i guess, it make sense to suggest a lower placing. I agree that anything below fourth is regression but that is somewhat self explanatory isn't it?


15 Oct 2017 21:03:03
Yarmouth, Matip hit that ball the way any CF would have hit it so not sure what a top striker would have done there. Also, Utd played with a top striker and they were pants cos parking the bus does not mean that you should be poor in the final third and not be able to put 3 passes together on the counter (Gay Neville's words, not mine) .

I thought we could have nicked it myself and we already created more chances in this game than in the same one last season so that is already a slight improvement. We just need to keep working hard on being effective in both boxes and we'll be fine. As for the title, that should be on the back burner for now as we should focus on trying to score goals and keep them out before thinking of things like that.


15 Oct 2017 08:59:12
A good performance yesterday. Not much from them. Promising for the future.

Cheers Ed mate.

After seeing the Ox come on yesterday I want to see more of him, he's got more to offer I'm sure of it, if it was up to me he'd be starting next week.

Sturridge maybe needs more game time to get more confident/ fitter. To me though I'd find it difficult starting him, if he plays like that for a full game we'd be in real trouble, he just doesn't seem interested to me. Id have Solanke ahead of him at this moment in time.


{Ed001's Note - I don't see a lack of interest from Sturridge, just a lack of pace. When he did try and close down, he was so far off the pace that he got nowhere near the player with the ball.}

Good read that ed1. Fair review. Onto the next 1.


{Ed001's Note - cheers Dom.}

In other words Ed, it was like watching paint dry.


{Ed001's Note - it was certainly close. Though there is usually a lot more movement on the walls as the paint drips downwards....}

Love the article about Germany's love-in with young English players. This is exactly why England will win nothing at the senior level. They do not invest in their youth on the grassroots to the national level.

Every successful country in the past or present has done this. From France, Spain, Germany to Belgium and Portugal. Youth football is where everything is at and with the right coaching based on a set system, possession, technique and skill, these countries have thrived. U. S football is suffering from the exact same thing BUT theirs is worse as their kids would rather play American football or basketball than play footie

As for England? Yeah, let's throw money at it and some way, somehow, it will work. %0 yrs after 1966 (where England won the WC with a goal that should have been disallowed), we are still waiting.

Another good read Ed. Must have been a hard game to write up on.


{Ed001's Note - very difficult mate. Just so little to pick out as worthy of mentioning.}

15 Oct 2017 09:21:44
LOvely read Ed1, whenever I see that sexy red shark I get excited so top notch. As an aside Lukaku did do well against us once, he scored two goals in that 3-3 game against Everton, not sure Lovren was there but just giving him props.


{Ed001's Note - cheers Welsh, I had forgotten about that. Probably hid such a distressing memory to keep myself sane.}

15 Oct 2017 09:56:59
I didn't realise until watching the hilights later on how lucky lukaku was to be in the field, a penalty missed too, it's not good to always complain about what has gone wrong but sometimes the referees don't help.


15 Oct 2017 11:16:20
Do you think sturridge has a jump in him? How many times will he pretend to go for a header and then not? This is a 6ft plus guy who I can’t remember the last time he won a header. I’d pick solanke over him every single time now. He can’t even be arsed to try and slow willing anymore.

Ed 001 is this Draxler article a hint that we could be in for him or is it just at a request.


{Ed001's Note - a request, it is more likely Arsenal sign him to replace Sanchez, if anything.}

15 Oct 2017 09:09:51
I rate the kid but Arsenal can have him for me, due to his injuries.


15 Oct 2017 10:39:58
Fantastic player with all the attributes to be world class. Reminds me of a younger Cristiano Ronaldo just entering his prime but without the fitness levels, determination and consistency. The quality is there, but Draxler needs a coach who will play him regularly (when fit) and nudge him to get better and better. The environment at PSG will not let that happen so a move makes sense for him.
A move to Arsenal could do wonders for him, especially if it is to replace Sanchez. Gives him that air of responsibility and a coach who has patience with his players to learn and improve.

Early doors, but based on our form, I think we can pip Burnley for the 7th spot in the table. Fingers crossed everyone stays healthy.

Behave coop, we played the team who were top of the league and we were the better team. It will only take two wins in a row and I think the confidence will come flooding back. No offence dude but today's result wasn't that bad, hardly deserved of mocking satire.


15 Oct 2017 06:39:49
Unfortunately Coop, We have no divine right to Pip any team lol 😆😆😆.


15 Oct 2017 07:49:49
That's right, Harry. Just ask Chelsea who got "pipped" by Palace or Arsenal who got "pipped" by Watford. Now, that is what is funny.


15 Oct 2017 07:57:54
I'm going out on a limb here but I'm going to guess that coop is using sarcasm here and is fishing for some bites.


15 Oct 2017 08:29:01
I think so too, Jayden which is why I did not respond to his comment.
