"This is the Liverpool page. Try posting on the arsenal page " 🙈.

21 Apr 2017 20:13:47
That made me lol.

21 Apr 2017 22:49:09
Dangerous game you're playing! lol.

21 Apr 2017 23:52:18
Extremely dangerous lol Ed 002 is more ruthless than my Mrs on her moon.

{Ed033's Note - What are you talking about, Ed002 likes nothing more than eating some fava beans and a nice Chianti, while enjoying the silence of the lambs. 😋

Dare I say it. Potential post of the season!

Couple of hypothetical questions on the sharkopod. Arsenals biggest deal would be acquiring Allegri. The clubs need a character and Allegri is the best. He could even persuade Sanchez to stay at club. Kolasiniac is a very good signing for Arsenal. He is a proper defender.

22 Apr 2017 18:02:48
Wouldn't mind us signing Kolasiniac a left back who can actually defend.

Hi everybody I am looking for a ticket to the Southampton game if anyone knows of one it would be much appreciated? Hope everyone has a good weekend. Thanks.

21 Apr 2017 11:45:42
Only way I no off pal is buy into the Lfc membership of which allows you to apply for match day tickets. First come first serve though as you would expect. I got my 2 v Saints this morning in Anny road.

21 Apr 2017 12:51:04
Lots of options. few lads I know do tickets. if u are on twitter let me know. I'll dm u. Cheers.

21 Apr 2017 19:36:45
Hey lfcdiamond1, I am interested in a couple of tickets as well! what is your twitter/ email if it is ok to contact? Any help would be much appreciated!

21 Apr 2017 19:53:31
Lfc. Im after two for me and my lad.

You can actually sign up for a membership mid season. Only in june and its yearly one and you get buy tickets july and novemeber for first and second half of season respectively.

Then there is just local member sales and local general sale.

Either be a member or have an l1 postcode. Pain tbe ass tbh becuase i live over the water i can't buy ticksts until next season.

So back to lfc. Is your connect all legit and that? How are the prices. Tried ticket master r what ever and there starting at like 145 each.

Hi Ed001. With Klopp saying yesterday he is happy with our goalkeepers for next season, what is your view on Mignolet's form over the last month or so? I only see highlights and he has been making some good saves, but is he also improving in the other areas that worry you? Thanks mate.

{Ed001's Note - he has been playing better, but it is difficult to judge him as the whole team has been a lot better too, so he is not being tested as much. It would still be an area I would look to improve in, but at least he is showing signs of having improved. The saves he is making now are the ones that were going straight through him before. He just has to keep learning.}

21 Apr 2017 10:07:21
Thanks ed, much appreciated.

{Ed001's Note - welcome mate.}

21 Apr 2017 11:55:57
Personally I'm happy with the goal keepers we have but would like to see a top class goal keeping coach brought in who I don't know, any idea Eds1?

{Ed001's Note - I still think bringing back Xavi Valero would be good.}

21 Apr 2017 12:13:30
ed01 would valero be open to coming back to lfc?

{Ed001's Note - not sure mate, he was open to it a few years back, no idea if he still would be.}

21 Apr 2017 14:43:29
The GK position is no longer an issue personally PROVIDED there is improved coaching from the staff, desire and drive to be the best by both Karius and Migs as well as a well-drilled defence put in front of them.

We can either get an improved GK in or improve the coaching and defence around them. Either way, improvement is needed and we are seeing it now. Long may it continue.

21 Apr 2017 14:34:10
I think mignoletagoalin should definitely go a couple of good games doesn't make him a worldy between the sticks😬Has everyone forgot how many points this guy has cost us. people saying without our injuries we'd be challenging for the league? With a tidy keeper we'd be challenging for the league in my opinion . just my honest opinion not slagging the fella off just he's not up to lfc standard. think of what we would be like with degea cortois lloris chech? if it wasn't for degea united would be fighting relegation lol🤣.

21 Apr 2017 17:04:14
Where is Valero now? I don't think Rafa brought him to Newcastle, so is he still at Real Madrid?

{Ed001's Note - I don't know to be honest.}

21 Apr 2017 19:35:31
Pretty sure he's at Newcastle with Rafa.

21 Apr 2017 19:48:06
I don't think he is Ron. He's not listed on their website as part of their coaching staff. It seems Rafa kept Simon Smith, who was there when he arrived, as goalkeeping coach.

He's not Real's first team goalkeeping coach either and I can't find any news article saying that he's at another club. Assuming he hasn't retired or isn't still at Real in some other capacity (youth team, maybe? ), he would seem to be available.

21 Apr 2017 23:11:58
I think he went to Oviedo after he left Real Madrid, but was only there for a short time before he went to a Chinese club. Not 100% sure about that though, but i think that's were he is now. Heibei Fortune China or something like that the club was called ( probably spelled different ) . I believe its the club were Pellegrini is manager.

21 Apr 2017 20:56:48
Ed01 it would be interesting to know where valero is and if he's available to see if hed come back. Thanks for the answers.

{Ed001's Note - I had assumed he had followed Rafa to Newcastle, but I can find no record of him doing so. I will see if I can find out.}

22 Apr 2017 06:51:54
I thought Mignolet put a few good punched clearances from crosses against WBA. If the team as a whole can improve the tracking/ blocking of runs to give that extea second of soace he is a big unit with a good reach so has the tools. Same with Karius.

22 Apr 2017 09:35:48
We literally do this every time to ourselves.
Migs is not a terrible keeper, he's an unreliable keeper. He will put in a few games where he looks like the beginning of the keeper we want him to be. Then 4-5 games down the line he literally throws one in the net.
If he doesn't make a stupid error between now and the end of the season then maybe he's improving. Otherwise it's the same old story.

21 Apr 2017 09:31:52
So sad to hear about ugo ehiogu from playing at youth level for Middlesbrough's i got to meet him a few times generally a really nice guy an had time for the youth teams was nice to see him actually take that route of training the u23 at spurs R. I. P.

21 Apr 2017 11:17:30
Sad news, just shows you can be as fit as a fiddle - compared with most of the population - nd still get struck down out of the blue. RIP.

21 Apr 2017 14:47:03
RIP, My Nigerian Brother.

22 Apr 2017 06:54:04
Really shocking news that is no age at all.
