{Ed033's Note - Which Ed is w?

31 Jan 2016 20:23:32
He's the unspoken one!


31 Jan 2016 22:20:18
Edward Woodward.


31 Jan 2016 18:04:42
I know Klopp isn't happy with all the fixtures piling up but the real silver lining of the hectic schedule and replays is the entire squad (especially the inexperienced players) getting first team time for the new manager before he really decides the shape of his squad next summer.

Believable13 Unbelievable6

31 Jan 2016 18:28:31
I don't think Kloppo is too fussed about it, I think he's just frustrated because he wants to spend some training sessions with the squad.


31 Jan 2016 19:43:02
Spot on, Ron. He hasn't had a full week of training with the squad since he got here or almost none hence, the players can't work on things the way he would like. The amount of games don't bother me because as a big club, it's normall to have a lot of games. If people want us to play less games. They should go support Leicester who only play one game a week.


31 Jan 2016 20:40:47
The positive for the number of games is the youth getting a chance; although Klopp might not get the training time he would like at least it gives him a good look at all the players and the ones he see's can take us forward.


31 Jan 2016 17:46:34
Eds i'm not sure why everyone is asking about Cheryshev today. Have i missed something?

Believable0 Unbelievable7

{Ed001's Note - no idea, I haven't looked at anything today as I am in bed sick.}

31 Jan 2016 18:05:53
Ok mate no probs. That old chesnut ay, Preparing for a day off sickie tomorrow lol.


{Ed001's Note - I will be doing this anyway, the site is my livelihood now. So the last thing I want is to be ill tomorrow!}

31 Jan 2016 18:25:43
Great stuff mate. Get ya self a whisky and keep warm buddy. Keep us up to date mate as always please.
Hope we can get one in but doubtfull like youve said.


{Ed001's Note - I don't drink mate, but I am going to grab another kip as I can't keep my eyes open. Fingers crossed tomorrow surprises us all.}

31 Jan 2016 18:48:35
You Kniw ed surprises can be bad too? Long on a five year contract for 20 million pounds.


31 Jan 2016 18:51:58
Hot lemonade a very old Irish remedy works a treat.


31 Jan 2016 19:32:12
Hope you get well soon Ed.


31 Jan 2016 22:12:16
Tad bit personal but how come you don't drink ed? Not a UFC fighter/ boxer on the side are you?


{Ed003's Note - 001 is so unselfish that he leaves more for us to drink Ruth.}

31 Jan 2016 22:53:48
You would think being an editor of this site and dealing with Harry would drive you to drink. Lol.


{Ed033's Note - Ed001 is known in UFC circles as, Nightshade.

31 Jan 2016 23:33:27
nah i don't drink either ed003, i prefer erm, herbal remedies.


{Ed033's Note - oh, Magic plants

31 Jan 2016 19:02:17
Ed001 . Sorry to here your poorly, what wrong .


{Ed001's Note - nothing new mate, just got a long term problem which is why I do this full time, as I can't get a normal job. When this flares up I literally just can't keep my eyes open any longer.}

31 Jan 2016 20:30:28
Ed001,
Get yaself to Old Trafford.
Guaranteed to sleep for 90 mins there mate.


{Ed001's Note - I could take your jokebook with me, then the football would not seem as bad!}

31 Jan 2016 23:22:49
Get well soon Ed001.we need you fighting fit :-)


{Ed001's Note - thank you mate.}

31 Jan 2016 17:35:20
Ed001, do you think Marko Grujić has been signed to come straight into the squad for next season? He is only 19 so wonder what the plan is for him?

Also, do you see Lucas and Allen being moved on in the summer?

Believable0 Unbelievable5

{Ed001's Note - I have no idea, I have never seen the lad play so can't give any kind of opinion on him. There is a very real possibility of that happening, at least the Allen part is extremely likely right now.}

31 Jan 2016 18:28:18
Thanks Ed, reason why I asked about Lucas is that if Grujić is going to be thrown in straight away, Can already being a key figure in the starting eleven under Klopp, Henderson fully fit and pending new arrivals it will leave Lucas down the pecking order. We all know Lucas is not a moaner but he will want to play regular football and let's face it, he will find another club without any hassle which makes it easier for LFC to move him on in order to raise funds for new purchases.


31 Jan 2016 21:09:49
Grujic will not replace Lucas as someone said me the other day, The kid was told he would play between Lucas and Coutinho.
A CM I guess.


31 Jan 2016 21:17:39
He said his role was between coutinho and Lucas, as in his style, not which personel he will play between.


31 Jan 2016 17:44:13
How come there are double standards with most of the fans, countless posts when a young player does well, but when that player isn't performing week after week then that player is young and shouldn't be criticised, CAN is case in point. When do we draw that line with using youth as an excuse?

Believable0 Unbelievable6

31 Jan 2016 18:29:40
There are no excuses, but by the universe dictates that less experienced players will be more inconsistent.


31 Jan 2016 19:47:59
Where you as wise as you are now when you were much younger? If the answer is no then don't know why you think there's a double standard, really. Saying players are young hence inconsistent, is not an excuse. It is fact. We must persevere with them knowing full well that some develop quicker than others.


31 Jan 2016 17:10:39
Hi eds is there any interest in this Russian winger from Madrid? Sorry not attempting to spell his name thanks.

Believable0 Unbelievable6

{Ed002's Note - RTP.}

31 Jan 2016 17:21:59
I've seen some daft rumours about a loan, but other than that it's lazy paper talk. Personally I don't think he's ever kicked on and the money Madrid want is ridiculous. Personal opinion is that Markovic is a far better player.


31 Jan 2016 19:48:44
Marko ain't coming back here and frankly, can't blame him.


31 Jan 2016 16:04:45
Think we'll bring anyone in ed? Anything being lined up today or tomorrow?
I'm not too bothered about this window as I believe the league position is completely gone, I'd be delighted with a trophy but completely rethinking the squad in the Summer.
I'm hoping Klopp will put his stamp on the team in Summer, a few Big signings some top players. this squad Can't finish top 6, never mind champions.
I completely trust the manager, the style and fight is there to win the Prem, the personnel is not.

Believable4 Unbelievable5

{Ed002's Note - I cannot sensibly answer that DBol - January is tough and it is hard to tie dates down at any point. Just don't wish for a knee jerk reaction or panic buy. A couple of fringe outgoings would be more sensible.}

31 Jan 2016 17:51:00
Cheers for the answer Ed. Busy day ahead tomorrow. Good luck haha.


{Ed002's Note - Not for me.}

31 Jan 2016 16:20:20
Think Cam Bran and Emre Can could form a top partnership in the coming years, although I wouldn't want to see Hendo fazed out. The two seem to be more complimentary of one another as a central midfield duo for me than Can with Hendo.

On a further note I just have a hunch that we might pull something right out of the left field tomorrow: the pursuit of Teixeira suggests we do have a reasonable amount of money and Kloppo isn't completely satisfied with our attacking unit. His interview yesterday, telling us to wait and see what might happen was also quite intriguing. But I've gotten meself all excited for deadline day before only to see absolutely nothing of interest happen with us!

Believable3 Unbelievable9

31 Jan 2016 16:28:17
Wait and see toddy;)


31 Jan 2016 17:34:29
If we were why would we wait and try and rush it? We probably won't offer what they want so negotiation will take time. We're done for in comings this window I think.


31 Jan 2016 15:56:36
So we still can't put the ball in the back of the net for some reason.

But for a team of essentially youth and reserve team players, they played exceptionally well against an experienced west ham side.

Clyne had his best game for a long time offensively, more of the same in the future.

Smith, brannagan and allen all definately are continuing to stake their claim for more first team involvement, teixiera not far behind. Ibe looks lost but maybe he just needs a break. Stewart was pretty decent but maybe not offering enough to be considered for the first team just yet.

I seriously think that playing smith and flanagan on a more regular basis, along with gomez still to come back, will make out defence much more solid. The presence of mignolet will always be a burden but in the meantime it will help enormously.

Teixera, brannagan, ibe, allen and smith cannot possibly do a worse job than the likes of can, benteke, milner, lallana and moreno right now. I think klopp has to seriously consider putting them in the team. Brannagan played more good set pieces in one game than our first team has managed all year, that has to count for something. Ojo and sinclair should also be looking at game time too.

Its not all bad, its just up to the manager to cull the underperformers for more games, we have nothing left to lose in the league now after all.

Believable6 Unbelievable8

01 Feb 2016 02:47:12
Woolback
Agree completely about the youth. However I feel lallana is finding form and Milner is a workhorse. For me they stay and play as part of the squad.
Also thought Caulker did ok. Maybe can turn out to be a new Kyriakos. ( don't remember how to spell his name) I remember how he came in and played the more physical sides and filled in with injuries.


{Ed001's Note - Kyrgiakos was truly awful though. No wait you have a point there, he could well be the new one....}

31 Jan 2016 15:43:01
Hi Ed's

Do you see big outgoings with players in the summer to generate funds? Surely Klopp will look to bring some players that he can trust from the Bundesliga?

Believable0 Unbelievable3

{Ed001's Note - I don't know about it being Bundesliga recruitment but I do expect a lot of outs.}

31 Jan 2016 16:31:28
I can't wait for the summer! It's going to be so different to the ones we've experienced lately and at the end of it we'll begin to see Klopp's team taking shape.


31 Jan 2016 16:53:32
Ed001 would you like to say who you think will be moved on or s it impossible to say.


{Ed001's Note - it is impossible to say as it will mostly depend on who we can sell.}

31 Jan 2016 17:33:15
Ok fair enough, I think we will struggle to sell a lot of them, a lot of em aren't setting the premiership alight, if we do get buyers can't see us getting much back on the money spent on them, Lalana or even lovren if klopp decides to sell, lucky to get 50% of the cost back.


31 Jan 2016 17:36:18
Benteke
Sturridge
Courtinho (if no champions league)
Skrtel
Sakho
Moreno
Allen
Balotelli
Markovic
Enrique
Toure
Sinclair
Bogdan.


31 Jan 2016 17:51:39
I can see it being really hard work, I'm not sure there is a great deal of value in our fringe players and god knows what we will do with balotelli. It will be disappointing watching players we paid good money for leaving for essentially nothing (balloteli, Alberto, llori I'm sure there are more) . I assume markovic will make his loan permanant and I doubt wether tex will sign a new deal at 23 and still not a regular.


31 Jan 2016 15:19:15
I always dread coming on here the day after a disappointing result because there is always too much negativity.
Personally I thought there was a lot of positives to take from yesterday, the defense played well for the majority of the game and I was very impressed with all of our youngsters. Granted in the final third we lacked a cutting edge and probably didn't have enough quality to finish off a lot of good play.
The few downsides of the game were the lack of enthusiasm and willingness from Benteke and the nerves Migs still gives us all.
On a whole though I think we played well and Tex, Brannagan, Stewart, Smith all showed great promise.

Believable3 Unbelievable5

{Ed001's Note - some people think we are not allowed to be happy with performances unless every one played like Maradona. Especially the youngsters, they are apparently no good unless they are Messi level at 15. It is quite sad that some people have so little idea about youth football, but then it has always been thus, which is why Geoff Twentyman lost his job over the signing of Ian Rush, when he wasn't performing immediately.}

31 Jan 2016 16:11:53
It was a better result and performance than the last couple of times we have played the hammers at least.


31 Jan 2016 20:16:17
Spot on Ed001 what we would we give now for a Geoff Twentyman, I wish our current scouts would read his book!


31 Jan 2016 21:47:30
Some of fans are the worst after a draw or loss, slating a team put together for the first time made up half the time by inexperienced youngsters. With fans like them, who needs opposition fans slating us? I thought our boys played very well and dominated a first choice WH team. They played much better and gave a lot more fight and determination than the so called first teasers showed in the two other losses against them. I wouldn't be celebrating yet if I was a WH fan because the same team that dominated them here will be at Upton Park with nothing to lose. Be careful what you wish for.


31 Jan 2016 14:34:37
Hi eds
Sorry to ask but have any of you guys heard of Sule for Hoffenheim. May be my football manager brain speaking but this guy sounds amazing . Are Liverpool or any clubs interested in him?

Believable0 Unbelievable3

{Ed001's Note - I don't know much about him other than that he is a defender. Sorry.}

31 Jan 2016 16:09:14
Sule plays for Hoffenheim; The team bottom of the Bundesliga. If we got linked with a 19 year old from Aston Villa all hell would break lose but because he's foreign and has a weird name, people won't bat an eyelid.

Sule is a big lad who's great in the air and loves a tackle. He is not an instant improvement though despite his long term potential and I have a vague memory that Ed002 mentioned he could be attainable if we were to pay way over the odds.

Gomez, Wisdom, Ilori etc are equally good prospects. Because that's all Sule offers; potential.


31 Jan 2016 14:29:13
We have 8 games to play in Feb. 9 in 30 days depending on the outcomes of these games. Every game (depending on the confirmed date of the west ham game) is 3 or 4 days apart.

We have a healthy balance of youth primed to step up and injured players coming back to help but it's looking like a pretty harsh month for klopp to deal with.

Believable4 Unbelievable3

31 Jan 2016 15:28:28
West Ham are announcing the replay as 09th February so if that's true we have 9 games in 27 days (2-28 Feb) . A top level game every three days. No wonder Mr Klopp is commenting.


31 Jan 2016 15:56:44
Stop doubting 😡

I believe a couple of wins in the next 2 games and the momentum that generates will have us surging up the table 😎.


31 Jan 2016 17:01:29
Ron

I totally agree.


31 Jan 2016 21:52:09
I love Klopp to death but he really needs to stop whining about the fixture list. It makes him sound like he's making excuses before games should we lose. We are a big club with aspirations for success. As Ron said we win the next two games, that will be a big jolt of confidence to the point that our team will be playing off adrenaline and not physical strength. Play one game at a time and try to win it and don't worry about the rest.


31 Jan 2016 14:10:55
Hi Eds
Do u think nolito will be a good signing in my opinion we could wait and buy in summer than buying a player who is ready to be a substitute for Barcelona (I know Barcelona are interested) . Would like to know your opinion.
Thank you
Always ynwa.

Believable0 Unbelievable3

{Ed001's Note - I have answered this, but I think he is a good player, it is just that he is 29 and it might be too late for him to adapt.}

31 Jan 2016 13:56:59
It's frustrating at times from a fans perspective when Liverpool don't increase their bids for players like teixeira and its easy to say its only 5 million more just get him. But, if you calm down and think about it, its also nice that Liverpool are willing to stick to their guns and not be pushed around and forced to pay inflated prices. I say its good for the club and good negotiating to refuse some of these deals. Would I like to have teixeira this window, yes. But, can we afford to wait to buy him, yes. And if us playing hardball now means we get him at a lower price in the summer or discourages other clubs from driving up the price because they know we won't negotiate, great.

Believable2 Unbelievable10

31 Jan 2016 15:07:16
Honestly, why didn't we stick to our guns with the likes of Christian benteke, markovic, lallana, firmino etc. Before anyone slates me for adding firmino, I added him because there's no way in hell he was ever worth £29m. That's testament to the fact no German club wanted him at €25m as ed2 has said. There's also many other examples of Liverpool not 'sticking to their guns'. Liverpool tend to overspend on the average player, but not budge on the more top quality players. It's an enigma I'll never be able to understand, and I hope one day this transfer committee is abolished.


31 Jan 2016 22:00:46
Don't know what people want really. We stick to our guns, fans say just pay the money if we need him. If we don't and pay what the selling club wants, they say why didn't we stick to our guns. Make up your minds, people! I know Marko, Lallana, Firmino, and Benteke weren't worth the money but you forget to mention who openly lobbied for said players. That would be the head of the TC, BR. BR has poisoned the well when it comes to our ills in the TW because he has been lying and been dishonest in his commentary yet we all know he was in charge and he even said so at the time. Klopp worked with a DOF and is head of the TC as well here. The Caulker and Grujic signings were his and he has said so. People need to stop blaming the TC for all our probs because it's starting to get old, stale, and annoying.


31 Jan 2016 13:19:52
Apology/ confession

I have a 7 year old son who has had the joy of coming to4 games at Anfield with me. Only problem is . Every time he comes it is 0-0! hull, Bolton, Blackburn and now West Ham!

I know I should stop taking him but I am desperate for him to see a goal ( so is he)! With 10 mins to go against Bolton he looked at me with big eyes and said "will I never see a goal" at which point I was nearly over the hoardings to try myself!

But at least yesterday I made £100 on backing 0-0! Would be up £100k if I had backed that for each of the four games and rolled it over.

Will let you know next time he comes, firstly so you can avoid watching the game, and second so you can put your mortgage on 0-0!

But, as a dad as much as I fancy rolling the £100 over I would love for him to share the excitement of a good game and a goal!

Believable5 Unbelievable3

31 Jan 2016 13:32:02
Good stuff mate, you made me smile. And sorry for the kid, is he still an LFC supporter?


31 Jan 2016 14:14:17
I had 4 2-0 wins in a row once back in the day.
But the last 2 times have been 0-0 for me as well actually. : (
Really want a mad one like that Norwich game.


31 Jan 2016 15:20:46
Your lad must be Mignolets lucky mascot 😂.


31 Jan 2016 13:12:10
Hi eds just to try get of the transfers for a bit I was just wondering has it ever been taught of or will it ever be taught of regarding players wages so say pay as you play packs for everyone like give them a basic wage a week wages and everything on top to do with how good or bad you play and sort out the players that injured as well just food for thought do you ever see anything like that happen.

Thanks.

Believable0 Unbelievable2

{Ed001's Note - George Graham's Arsenal used to have that, a lot of people believe that was a part of the reason their play was so stifled, as they were scared to lose bonuses, so didn't play with freedom.}

31 Jan 2016 13:28:43
Thanks for reply I personally think it should be looked at very strongly kills me to see all these greddy and injured players happy to sit round getting paid stupid money and therefore have zeor motivation to get of the backsides and go again.

Thanks again.


{Ed001's Note - I do think there needs to be more of a move over to performance related pay too.}

31 Jan 2016 14:01:02
The league should impliment a structure like the bundesliga. Clubs are obliged to pay full wages only for 42 days of injury or illness. Most players take out their own personal insurance incase of injury. Obviously you don't want players being foolhardy with returns from injury. But it certainly incentivises. And it doesn't drain the club.


31 Jan 2016 14:15:49
Think I get 3 months sick pay.
Can't see why players can't have the same.


31 Jan 2016 13:04:22
I am going to be devils advocate here but would klopp be getting such an easy ride if he wasn't so well liked? I personally find his personality infectious and he is like a breath of fresh air but apart from the odd game our football and tactics have been very poor. I find watching us very hard at the moment and I get we have so many injuries to our forwards but I have to say I expected more from the team thus far. I am not going to truly judge until klopp has had a summer and a transfer window to start building his team, as that would be unfair but at this moment I do not see it being much different from when rodgers was in charge performance wise. Either way I'll always be fully behind the team. Thoughts guy's?

You have us all worrying now in regards to your last reply I'm presuming you at the moment can't comment any further on that statement 🤔.

31 Jan 2016 12:48:18
Hi eds been a while hope you guys are doing well anyway is there any development regarding dennis praet as you've said he's the replacement for Alex teixeira.

Believable0 Unbelievable2

{Ed002's Note - That is not what was said.}

31 Jan 2016 13:08:43
Ed said that Klopp likes Praet very much not that he's a replacement deal for Teixeira. You said Praet would probably move this window (not necessarily to us) so is there any developments on that fronts?


{Ed002's Note - None. I think I explained that Fiorentina has stepped back after they signed Tello?}

31 Jan 2016 14:14:14
Excuse my ignorance but can you explain his situation please as I've misunderstood I guess.


{Ed002's Note - Try the search engine.}

31 Jan 2016 17:11:27
I thought Anderlecht bringing in Duricic on loan was interesting. Seems a very similar player to Praet.


31 Jan 2016 12:36:16
Well for a start everyone on here is a far far better crowd to discuss everything LFC than the whinging set on the official site!
Yes we have a moan on here too but not like that, if you read their posts on last nights game youd think they all stank the place out and all the kids got a slagging off too!
I thought we did brilliantly well and we got a proper look at the kids in our squad against some top players,
Stewart is going to be top drawer as is Brannagan, Tex should be at least a decent squad player for us and Smith should be in the first team now over Moreno, I also thought Allen put a really solid shift in and should be commended for his attitude and performances in a red shirt lately, he could become a real cult figure round here if he carries on the same,
negatives are and will be till rectified, No striker whatsoever, Benteke gets undue criticism as he was never going to be shoehorned into our squad and until he's in a side that play the way that suits him then he's going to look awful, we need a striker, we can't just be hoping for the return of the unproven Origi or Ings who in all probability won't be back till next season, we need a man now who can bag us goals goals goals until the end of the season or else every game is going to have the same problems, we can see that by and large we have a squad that can rotate and create chances but around the box we are so ineffective its untrue,
Just a small mention for Caulker, I thought considering he'd been thrown in he did really well and if he improves for us might be someone that stays beyond his loan, I suppose we shall see.
Window closes soon fellas, I don't see any signings coming but i'd give anything for two top drawer strikers right now!

Believable1 Unbelievable2

{Ed001's Note - did Caulker's passing not worry you? His passing was probably the worst part of our performance. At one point he was missing 2 yard passes by a 5 yard margin!}

31 Jan 2016 12:47:15
Hey Ed001 hope our ok buddy, it did to be honest but I thought considering he'd never played back there for us he showed glimpses, no more but just a wee bit of promise,
Ive no doubt we could do with a more solid backline but i'm still in the camp of solid goalkeeper would solve many many issues, what do you think?


{Ed001's Note - goalkeeper would help, but Caulker would not be one I would want to keep, there were a few occasions Lovren was having to cover his errors.}

31 Jan 2016 12:56:40
He must have caught that of Couthnio not being able to pass 5yrd ;-)


{Ed001's Note - is that meant to be funny? Makes no sense to me, just a sly dig at one of the few decent creative players we have.}

31 Jan 2016 13:38:04
AKOB, your post is disgraceful and pathetic. It is fans like you the confirm Ed02's notion that LFC fans are the best at trashing their own players. Stupid post, really. Regarding Caulker, his passing was dreadful atimes but he wasn't the only one. In the first half, our passing was so wayward, it looked like our players pass the ball blindly without looking to who they're passing to. That's my only criticism of the boys because they were solid and dominated WH who fielded their first eleven.


31 Jan 2016 13:44:33
Finally a decent post.

Well said on all accounts really. I went last night and Exeter at home and enjoyed both games.

Just to add to it I think Firmino and Coutinho would have thrived up front in the team last night. Was so impressed with the boys mentioned Tex, Stew, Branno and Smith. Clyne, Allen and Lovren too played well.

Don't want to get into slating players as Caulker has hardly played so he must've been nervous. And your analysis on Benteke is bang on. I don't think people appreciate how hard it is to play up front on your own and add to that he's at a new club with high expectations, and a very unsettled starting 11.

So I think judge him when things settle a bit and if it doesn't work out then move on. One thing for sure is he won't get better listening to all the moaning about him. Lovren, Allen, Clyne, Lucas and Hendo are proof of what can happen. Fingers crossed.

I've seen the Sturridge fitness debate has reared its head again on sky sports with one journo saying klopps latest update has left him out to dry and the other stating klopp has lost patience with him and is looking to get rid in the summer. Just wondering if the eds have any other insight into any plans for studge.

It's fustratating to think someone with his talent, with an upcoming euros is unwilling to play through the pain barrier.

I know players returning from long term injuries tend to get niggles but this is kind of getting ridiculous. I mean I've seen players some back from double leg breaks quicker than this. I think what is more fustrating than anything else is that we don't actually know what his injury is just that he hasn't been able to train for meager 10 consecutive days. Kind of supports the argument it's more mental than anything else.

{Ed001's Note - I would suggest you ignore anything Richardson has to say on this or any other subject concerning Liverpool FC, for starters. Guy is clueless.
Sturridge has a few months left before any decision is made.}

31 Jan 2016 12:51:32
Just a few months ed? Is that what's its come to with him? So get fit and playing or he's gone?


{Ed001's Note - no, it is a few months before the next window, so the club are not going to do anything until then either way.}

31 Jan 2016 12:54:12
Cheers for the reply ed!


{Ed001's Note - you are welcome.}

31 Jan 2016 13:12:15
My understanding of the Sturridge situation:

Sturridge has his own perception of when he's fit to train and fit to play.
Klopp is not satisfied taking Sturridges word for it as it is unpredictable and leaves him with too many uncertainties.

Klopp has said to Sturridge - when you have completed 10 consecutive training sessions to Klopp's satisfaction, then you will be considered fit for selection.

I think Sturridge and Sterling were indulged by the last regime and it has not helped them. Sturridge has to realise that old regime is over and he has to knuckle down and dance to a different tune now, or leave.

I don't see any problems, just DS getting used to a new way of working.


31 Jan 2016 13:43:06
You are spot on, Ron. BR used these players as a shield to cover for his blunders and that is one of the reasons Sterling left. As for Studge, BR made him the savior in the eyes of the media knowing full well this guy is not fit enough to play games in a row. Now, Klopp has come in and assessed the damage and he must be seething at the way the incompetence of the former regime has treated Studge and his fitness issues. Now, no one knows if Studge will ever play again and if Klopp doesn't know, then Studge is in real trouble and do is the club.


31 Jan 2016 14:19:03
Can't wait to see studge dance again :)


31 Jan 2016 15:18:37
I posted last week on sturridge situation but was not published needless to say it was on the lines that he won't be dancing for liverpool again.


31 Jan 2016 12:28:16
Just listened to the discussion about Sturridge on the Sunday supplement, what I can't figure out when people say "sell him", who on earth is going to buy him. His wages alone would make it a financial burden with his injury record and if he proves his fitness I don't see us letting him go at a price other clubs would nibble at.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

31 Jan 2016 13:13:15
Plenty of teams would buy him, he's a goal machine when fit, there are not many of them around.


31 Jan 2016 13:47:40
Exactly, when fit which judged on the last eighteen months, is NEVER.


31 Jan 2016 14:02:32
Hypothetically, would you buy jack Wiltshire for over 25mil on 100k plus a week wages, of course not because he's never fit surely the same applies to Sturridge.


31 Jan 2016 15:29:40
True so LFC would have to lower the asking price.


31 Jan 2016 16:21:04
lower it to what? A free transfer? Because if he dosnt start stringing games together no team that can afford 100k+ a week are coming in for him.


31 Jan 2016 18:33:50
Teams will have a lot more money next season mate, 100k will not be that rare.


31 Jan 2016 12:17:16
Quick question to Ed01 and reds, lot of debate on here regarding Ibe today. As i have already stated, i think he is a brilliant talent and believe he will fulfil it. My question is, given a lot of people keep comparing Sterling and Ibe, do you agree that he would be a much more confident and complete player if it was Ibe rather than Sterling that was fortunate enough to have a full season playing in a front 3 of Suarez and Sturridge with a fired up Gerrard behind them?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - defo. That took all the pressure off Sterling, just like playing with Silva, Aguero and De Bruyne is now. He can just play his game without it all being put on his shoulders if he has an off day.}

31 Jan 2016 12:41:28
I think it is as simple as some players just peak at an earlier age than others. Look at Harry Kane for example. 2 years ago he wasn't even deemed the best young player at Spurs. Then out of nowhere he's now their best player. Jamie Vardy has only just peaked at 29 years old.


31 Jan 2016 12:49:08
Just my opinion but I think one of Ibe's biggest problems is his decision making, often times when he has time and space to put the ball in the box he opts to take extea touches and dribble closer to the defender, dribbles inside when he should stay wide, but I do think he's got all the attributes to become a very good player, he just needs time and coaching and this time next season we should see a massivley improved player.


31 Jan 2016 13:15:04
He's going through that difficult 2nd season that most players do plus he's got a new manager to adapt to.

I have no concerns about him, we just need to adjust our expectations for him this season.


{Ed001's Note - he is doing the right things off the pitch, so I am with you Ron, give him time.}

31 Jan 2016 14:37:26
He's doing ok. We've hyped him up, he's just a boy and isn't as good a sterling. We just need give him time to improve coming off the bench ect playing cup games.


31 Jan 2016 11:11:27
Morning ED's and Reds!

First visit to Anield for over a year yesterday due to work and the 5 hour return car journey gave me plenty of time to think about the game.

First off, I though Stewart was man of the match. He was confident on the ball, strong and worked hard. I'd then go for Brad Smith, who now has to start for me, maybe even push Moreno in to a more attacking role, what do you think on that Ed1?

Ibe looks lost. I feel for the kid. I just don't think he knows what his best role is and is trying to do too much.

Mignolet didn't have much to do but somehow made me feel nervous, how?!

Benteke just needs to go and play for a team that will build their whole team around him. He doesn't offer anything for us.

I do think we need to get our midfield running beyond the ball a lot more and when we received the ball high up, we seemed to go back instantly, one of the few times Brannagan turned and went forward, he forced a good save from Randolph.

I'm not complaining though, I thought it was decent performance and I have total faith that we are on the up under Klopp.

Cheers guys.

Believable7 Unbelievable4

{Ed001's Note - I have been saying for a while I think Smith should be at left back in place of Moreno. Moreno simply can not defend. Personally I would say Brannagan was arguably in the running for MOTM though with Stewart.}

31 Jan 2016 12:38:45
Great post smplfc totally agree, I think too many players in our midfield squad are only average, for me I would get rid of Lallana, Henderson, Lucas.

Lallana offers nothing whatsoever, Henderson whilst having a good engine, for me does not actually do anything, he doesn't tackle, he often just shadows, he does not get forward enough and when he does his shooting is awful and he is not creative.

Lucas a few years ago was awesome, but since his injuries he has gone down hill, yes he does tackle and breaks up play but gives far too many fouls away and is too slow and often either gives the ball away or gets caught in possession.

We need more pace in there and more creativity who can get forward, score goals and tackle, just wish we had Case, Kennedy, Souness and McDermott now that's a midfield, ok not much pace but a midfield who got stuck in, who were very creative and who scored goals.


31 Jan 2016 12:53:48
Henderson is a class player, he is just trying to gain fitness, Liverpool fans nowadays are simply to inpatient, give the guy time.


31 Jan 2016 13:12:46
Cheers for the reply Ed, I know you've stated you'd start Smith for a while, but my question was meant about the part in maybe playing Moreno higher up?

I feel like we would have another option if we had a left footed attacking player as opposed to someone out there who is always going to cut inside.

Yeah, Brannagan would have probably been 3rd on my ratings list. I have to say although he had little to do, Lovren looked more confident than previously. I hope he turns out to be the player we thought we were buying.

Also Ed, did you no think that could have been a good opportunity for Ward to get a game?

Cheers!


{Ed001's Note - I did say that was how I would do it mate. Moreno would then help out Smith to ease in, as you would hope he would offer cover. I hate the fashion for wingers cutting in at every club, that only works if you have Cafu or Dani Alves, so you need to give them space to charge down the outside. If you have a normal fullback, then you want width to come from elsewhere.

It would have been a good opportunity if Migs had not just played well, you need to give him the chance to develop on a good game for confidence reasons.}

31 Jan 2016 13:15:42
Brannagan MoM for me. His dead balls were the best we've seen since Gerrard by a quite substantial margin, and his movement and play were very impressive. Kid's got a lot of potential.


31 Jan 2016 13:21:56
Get rid of Henderson, are you deluded?


31 Jan 2016 13:51:53
Branno and Smith are the best crossers we have. Now that is saying something about how poor the senior players are at this. Our kids played well and dominated a first choice WH team.


31 Jan 2016 10:30:00
Ed001 of you Have time could you do a Jordan Ibe season assessment be very disappointed with him especially in 1 v 1 situations hoping its a learning curve.

Believable1 Unbelievable3

{Ed001's Note - he just needs to stop slowing it down and looking to be clever. Use your pace, not your acceleration. He is looking to burst away from players, but it allows others to get over in cover, so even if he does get past, there is others in place. What he needs to do is burst onto the ball, to use his pace in behind. If the opposition drops deep to counter that, then that is good for us, as it gives us more space to operate in and then he can look to play short one twos, to use his acceleration, rather than just facing people up and trying to burst past them. Also, he needs to learn to just take his foot off the accelerator slightly before crossing, as that would allow him to be a lot more accurate. It is impossible to control the cross while sprinting. He looks frustrated with himself, because it is not working, so stop trying to do the same things every time.}

31 Jan 2016 10:53:32
He's only just turned 20 for Christ's sake.
People would moan if we signed Messi on here
Last season it was the same story about sterling next season it will be about ojo.


31 Jan 2016 11:16:55
I just wonder if he was playing centrally he wouldn't have the options he taking now. If he is up top he would be making runs in behind and being direct not playing like a guy who has all the dribbling skills in the world and failing. It might be with such a lack of width in the team Klopp sees him as the only wide option.
If he was in Bentekes position he wouldn't even be a false 9 because hopefully he would be looking for balls to run on too. Our abundance of attacking mid fielders are constantly looking for a playing in behind as well only to see Big Ben loafing about coming short.


31 Jan 2016 11:22:32
Liverpool fans heaped too much pressure on him saying he was better than Sterling ect.
He never was. He's a great impact sub like Adam Lallana.
But to be honest, he reminds me of a Striker and I think he'd excel upfront. He's only young but I'd stick my neck on the line and say Ojo will be better as a wide man than Ibe.


31 Jan 2016 11:54:45
Best thing to do is watch some John Bames videos. The man could put quality crosses In, had great vision, could take on a player or 2, score goals, including free kicks. Most of it he could have done in his sleep when at his peak.


31 Jan 2016 11:43:24
Im sorry but its true. its so frustrating. I've lost count the amount of times I've shouted at the telly for him to use his pace. The difference in his game from bein a kid and now has changed so much. i'm not knocking him at all he clearly has what it takes he's just thinking too much instead of just using what god gave him pace and power!


{Ed001's Note - he is trying too hard, that is all it is. It will come in time, we just need to be patient with him.}

31 Jan 2016 13:32:19
I am not slating anyone he is playing poor at the moment and I was looking for other opinions as to why
Trying to hard is a good reason to play bad as it can be fixed he's young learning and playing in a team that need a striker

If he had a striker banging them in then you play more free.


31 Jan 2016 13:57:11
Spot on, Ed. Even the commentator yesterday said the same thing. He's doing the same thing every time and it isn't working. He said Ibe should learn to know when to shoot, slow down, whip a cross in or do a give and go. On several occasions, his speed got him clear but he always made the wrong decision. He's young and is learning so better coaching and management is required here, IMO.


31 Jan 2016 09:53:38
I remember one if not all the eds saying that benteke was not the kind of player that suited liverpools play, and that was obviously when Rodgers was in charge, I guess even more now that klopp is in charge.
Could this dramatic loss of form be down to the fact that klopp is trying to change benteke into a different kind of player and it's going against benteke's natural instincts and because of that he's currently in some kind of limbo where he's doing neither what his instincts or what klopp is trying to teach him.
Almost as if he's trying too hard or maybe even forgotten how to be a striker and that's why his confidence is shot to pieces?

Believable1 Unbelievable6

31 Jan 2016 10:31:41
Benteke gets so much stick from most of the so called experts and pundits and it's not his fault at all, Liverpool football club paid 32 million pounds for a striker that feeds off balls into the box.

At the time we had one of the lowest crossing stats in the leauge, how stupid is that?


{Ed001's Note - how is it not his fault when he is hiding behind defenders? If he is constantly hiding behind them, rather than trying to get in front, there is little point crossing as it has to be perfect for him to get it.}

31 Jan 2016 10:42:18
Old news this mate (although you are right) .

One thing I have noticed though, is that the younger players show more of the Klopp mentality than the senior ones.

Either it's down to egos, mature minds or simply bad habits, but I feel that the two young cup sides put out from Klopp has reflected his strategy more than any other game.

If it is a keen willingness to work and conform to the managers requests, then I see many young players have more premier game time, and I suspect that Klopp thinks the sane.

Imagine how good that young West Ham side will be with a couple more competitive games under their belt?

Call me optimistic, but I see a resemblance to that young Utd side, and personally, I want to see even more of it.


31 Jan 2016 10:46:29
Well villa managed it ed, he isn't doing anything different now to what he was then.


31 Jan 2016 11:56:28
Davey great post btw. How you get a disagree i font know because you are spot on mate!


31 Jan 2016 11:52:17
I hate being negative but again ed001 is spot on. The lack of effort i see him give is embaerressing. When we played exeter at home he let the youngsters down so badly. They ran there socks of just for benteke just to not give a s**t. I genuinely belive he is a gret footballer when he acctually tries and puts effort in. Unfortunatly he doesnt. if i had a member of staff working for me with his attitude they would be gone. But because of they way football works with his contrct etc he gets paid a lot of money with very little return.


{Ed001's Note - just to answer Hopeless - we are not Villa, we are not a crappy side with only one player with any ability at all. So we are not just going to sling a 100 hopeful balls in the direction of some half-arsed player in the hope one will hit him and go in. He needs to make the effort to show, then you can start feeling sorry for him. If he is not making an effort, which he isn't, then he deserves contempt not pity.}

31 Jan 2016 13:20:33
Can anyone remember the last time Benteke *attacked* a ball in the box? Talented player, plenty of ability, seems gun-shy right now. And, shame for him, definitely not the type of player who suits the style we have.

He's a solid player on the wrong team. His game isn't based around work-rate, rather it's being the target. We just don't play that way.


31 Jan 2016 13:43:54
I can't wait to see Ings healthy playing again. Talk about someone who attacks the ball, he's going to excel next season, in my opinion.


31 Jan 2016 14:32:10
Exactly nobody wanted ings when we signed him except for a handful of us. INGS has desire and was willing to bide his time for his chance. and took it. We'd be a lot better off in the league but for injury.


31 Jan 2016 09:11:26
Morning all

Been looking up Nolito. He looks decent and his goals/ assists are there for all to see. His best position seems to be left wing.

The only thing i would question is his age at 29 he is most probably at his peak now.

Yesterday was another clear indication that we miss that spark at top end of the field.

I for one hope we get him? But with time running out i suspect we will wait until the summer.

Ed001, what's your thoughts on him please and do you think our inteterest is serious enough to pudh for a deal?

Believable0 Unbelievable5

{Ed001's Note - same as you, worried about his age but think it is probably too late for him to adjust now. I am not convinced we will buy anyone now.}

31 Jan 2016 11:35:11
He's 30 this year and I think we'd be better off not buying him as its too late for him to adjust to the premier league.


31 Jan 2016 16:12:44
didn't a certain rvp not win man u the title one year with all his injurys and at te age of 30?

31 Jan 2016 09:06:49
What are your thoughts in regards to Ward Ed, seems a little baffling to bring him back from what was a reportedly successful loan stint, when we are even yet to see him play. It seems very strange and seems to point to our continued misuse of our younger players, it seems as he would have been better off staying at Aberdeen, at least he would have been playing week in, week out. Maybe I am jumping the gun a little, and there is a plan for him to play in some coming games or the EL. Thanks in advance.

Believable1 Unbelievable5

{Ed002's Note - The fans have massively over-reacted to his return. They see secret messages in everything that happens. Nothing more.}

31 Jan 2016 09:34:46
Hi Brisbane,

I'm very surprised by this too but can only imagine klopp trusts bogdan that little that he wants to have ward waiting in the wings and Jan would have been the only time Aberdeen would have let him go mid season?


31 Jan 2016 09:38:05
Every team had a reserve keeper on the bench. Clearly Bogdan wasnt good enough so we bring Ward back in.

He's been playing well so that seems very logical.

Why is that misuse of a player?

Hes contracted to Liverpool, just had some experience at Aberdeen and done well so has now forced his way up the pecking order.


31 Jan 2016 09:56:40
Sorry Ed, I'm not really sure what you mean by secret messages and massive over reactions. I was ask for your thoughts on whether it may have been better to stay on loan where he was playing, than sitting on the bench not playing is all.


{Ed002's Note - You asked for my thoughts in regards to Ward. My thoughts are based on the surprise given to me by the collective orgasm of the Liverpool fans when this reserve player was taken back from having played a few games in Scotland. Since then I have seen hundreds of posts proposing Ward as the savior of the season - and there is zero basis for such weird thoughts by the fan base. He is simply another kid that the manager has decided to end the loan of in order to provide a vastly bloated squad and an increased wage bill. He has gone from getting good and useful experience to hanging out in Liverpool. Makes some sense if Bogdan were to be released from his contract tomorrow or Liverpool find somewhere that he is happy to go on loan to. But that is not why Ward's loan was ended early.}

31 Jan 2016 10:45:01
Everyone was raving about Llori as the saviour to Liverpool defensive woes, until he was given his chance and struggled to run after ten minutes.

Not everything is a solution.


31 Jan 2016 13:17:42
Difference is Davey, Ward was playing well, albeit in the Scottish leagues, whereas Ilori wasn't even playing, so not getting match fitness! Why bring Ward back to have him sit on the bench, especially for an FA Cup match where there were other youngsters playing? I appreciate he'll be understudy to Mignolet in PL and EL matches, but why bring him back for bench work in FA Cup matches, when he could have had much more in Scotland with Aberdeen and so gain much needed experience? I know the answer in a way and that will be if Mignolet gets a bad injury on Feb 5th, he'll be around to step in rather than the other option of Bogdan! Trouble is, Bogdan was at least getting a few games, even if played badly in!


31 Jan 2016 08:49:20
Eds and Reds:
Has anyone heard whether Kloppo has changed the Europa League squad and when do those changes have to be submitted by?

Morning eds and reds

Just wanted to say well played to the lads last night. Better result than we managed in both premiership matches this season and providing we continue using youngsters and fringe players i can't see much damage in an extra fixture.

Moving on to my next point, Jordan Ibe, i think he is a fantastic player who could become world class. I think he's taken a lot of pressure on himself since Sterling left, trying to prove he can fill his boots, and i believe he will do and more, just needs to ease up on himself, when he doesn't have the best of games, you can see him beating himself up about it so he is more than aware.

I read posts on here with certain posters slagging him off, not constructive at all and personally don't understand it. Teixerra, Stewart, Smith, Randall, Brannagan, everyone is saying how good these players are and i agree, they are bright prospects, out of those 5 players, only Brannagan is younger than Ibe and i think sometimes we forget hoe young he actually is. He's still going through puberty for Christ sake and people complain that he isn't tearing up the premiership and that he's inconsistent. He, as well as some of the other youngsters mentioned will be excellent going forward but they need our support more than our criticism, especially since this is their social network age so they probably see the majority of rubbish written about them.

This isn't a "let's all get along together" post, more of a support the kids because they will get abuse from away supporters when they make mistakes, they don't need it from us as well, and at that age, confidence is key, so if we're responsible for denting their confidence then we're also responsible for their inconsistent performances.

Not all will agree but wanted to say my piece. Take care all and fingers crossed for a win against Leicester.

Believable13 Unbelievable6

31 Jan 2016 08:46:50
Great post WelshScouse, sums up my feeling exactly. We need to get behind all the kids, hopefully they will prove they are the future of our club. Eardington I be whilst I agree hus final ball and decision making needs improving, I am also sure both will if he us given time. Unlike some of the kids who lose their heads when they are thrust in the spotlight, I've appears to have a great attitude.


31 Jan 2016 08:48:36
A good post mate, and some good points. I am one who criticises ibe, quite a bit. It's because he has all this talent but isn't using it. Time after time he tries to square up his man and take him on, and more often than not he gives away the ball. I'd like to see him either set, and deliver into the box, or if he's going to take someone on, then not stand them up first. He has pace to burn, but it's no good when he let's the defender get set and then tries to race them from a standing start. He needs to be more clever and direct with his pace, as what's good pace if you don't know how to use it? It reminds me of Ryan Babel. Think he needs to work on his mental game a bit more. But yeah, good post mate I'll try and lay off the lad.


31 Jan 2016 09:56:41
I agree that Ibe is still young, my point is that he isn't good enough at this time and if we had a full squad available and some new signings he would be no more than a bit part player. We do expect to much from him and can all see he needs work to make the step up. I don't think a lot of the supporters who are slagging the lad off are bothered about his age. He has been given an opportunity that some of the older lads in the academy likes of Tex has not. If we bring anyone in Ibe will be getting less time off Klopp. He has not taken his chance, because at this moment in his career he isn't quite good enough.


31 Jan 2016 10:23:20
Nice to see there are two non supporters as usual. The ops post was about showing support to own own players and it got disagrees. I despair and no wonder ed02 slags us off it seems with justification.


31 Jan 2016 10:26:08
Benny don't you think its more of a deficiency in klopp and his coaching team for not getting the best out of his abilities. Some footballers need more guidance in how to maximise their game rather than hugs and high fives. Before anyone starts i am a klopp lover but he is not beyond criticism.


31 Jan 2016 10:37:44
Ibe just isn't that good, come on let's be honest here. Sterling was at his age much much better.


31 Jan 2016 10:59:32
John do you think klopp has control of the players as if he is playing Fifa? They think for themselves, and ibes decision making awful.


31 Jan 2016 06:45:57
Great thing about Klopp, is his selection of youth players I keep hearing about that should be given a chance. Well done.

What this has done for me as a fan, who often wants us to spend out each window, is show us we have players already and they hold their own against teams which we face in the bread and butter competition - The league. Brannagan, Stewart, Smith and Ojo have me thinking, actually we don't need to sign a LB, a pacey winger, midfield cover and we don't have to pay over the odds for Tiexera as we already have one.

There are players who will improve our 1st team and players which can push us to win titles, finished articles, proven international players, of course there are. But unless we can get them and on our terms, we have players already here.

I'm not suggesting any of these are at the level yet or if Reus, Hummels or Messi wanted us and could come in for a fiver we should say no way. No pressure or unrealistic expectation, just a feeling I didn't have under Rodgers, a feeling that we'd be ok if we didn't sign anyone this window, that if we had an injury or two, Stewart or Ojo could come in and do a job and not just wonder if they'd be able and a feeling that if we truly have a quality kid (although most out there were over 20) he'd get a chance and have a really good coach who will get the best out of them. I also know that if a name I hear as the next best saviour, like Ilori, dosent get any game time then it is because they are not good enough (not saying he is or isn't)

It might only have been Exeter, or its West Ham but it's the cup etc, but we had moments of complete control, scoring opportunities and having to defend against a team which beat our first choice twice.

I'm sure we will buy in the summer, we need to improve areas and if we do want titles and CL football, the team yesterday and vs Exeter won't do that, I understand this. I just feel more confident we have a couple who could make it under this type of manager. We have the right manager. If we don't get plan a. b, or c we don't need to be mugged into over paying for plan d.

I tend to agree with you, I think. For me a solid core of 18 or so well established players is about right with the remainder being the better players from the Academy so that they can actually get some games and feel they might actually have a chance. The fact that we have 7 CBs and 6 strikers is a bit ridiculous.

Ed01, what do you make of Nolito?
Seeing as a bid "isn't out of the question" I'd be very keen to hear your thoughts.

{Ed001's Note - good player, has been on of the best in La Liga over the last couple of seasons, at least. Only problem is that he is 29, so probably reached his peak and so will only get worse.}

Ed1 a couple of questions . 1 : Is Stewart highly regarded at Liverpool . I think he has looked a class above in the games I have seen him play . 2 : I was just wondering who is the most highly rated youth/ u21 player we have at the moment .
Cheers
Jamesee.

{Ed001's Note - 1. yes, very. 2. probably Ojo, but it is difficult to put any kind of ranking.}

31 Jan 2016 05:24:27
Klopp should play Ojo as false 9 rather than benteke. Not sure y Ryan Kent.


31 Jan 2016 08:09:02
Ed do you know of any particular reason why at both Wolves and Liverpool Ojo tends to play only in the last 30 minutes or so? I can see he's a dangerous impact sub, but I'd love to see him start some games.


{Ed001's Note - because he is just a kid who is still learning his way. He should be watching the game and figuring out where he thinks he could get at the opposition, then coming on and trying to see if those weak points he thought he identified are really there.}
