With Everton’s money problems Ed025, they will be getting their kit from the same place the pub teams get theirs. Probably be sponsored by the local building contractor as well. 😂.

If Slot were to come in are there any Feyenoord players we’d like to see come with him? Geertrudia would tick a lot of boxes one of the Ed’s mentioned him before. Wieffer, Hancko and Timber all well thought of.
0
23 Apr 2024 16:04:16
That is exactly why we are hiring him. Lack of funds for top players! Slot is a proper YES man.

23 Apr 2024 16:34:55
Good lord, grow up.

23 Apr 2024 16:42:38
Or we could be hiring him because he’s proven capable of winning league titles with clubs that don’t have the same resources as his competitors. Feyenoord aren’t PSV or Ajax and if not for C.V. he probably wins the title with Az Alkmaar. Won a domestic cup and has been to a European final and plays a somewhat similar style of football to Klopp. He ticks a lot of boxes.

I don't know slot but if we loose with him, it will be very funny.
Have a feeling, we would be laughing stock.
First City with Guardiola, next United with Ten Haag and its our turn now with Slot.
Guess?

Slot was unlucky not to win the title with AZ. He’s proven himself over a sustained period and he’s learnt from the mistake he made at AZ. From how he comes across he seems like he’d fit in well with us, he’s got experience of building and improving a squad, as well as putting his ideas into practice. Importantly he has that personality and charisma that’s needed to be a success. Was reading an article by a Dutch journalist who said Slot would jump at any chance to be Liverpool manager but wouldn’t get out of bed for a team outside the top four (well, specifically he said Brentford) . Slot seems like a good choice given all of the circumstances.

I honestly thought you would oppose Slot given how you took down every other guy bar Alonso and Amorim
Can’t you guys see it? It’s a clear indication how FSG would like the club to run post Klopp!

Maybe I've missed something but why isn't Hansi Flick considered? Bayern played some incredible football under him and won the treble. Yes, it didn't work out with the german national team, but I guess managing a club is totaly different to a national team.

SamiKewell, I actually wanted Emery to take over from BR at the time and I still rate him as a manager and coach. The amount of disrespect he gets from the English media and esp. a lot of these ungrateful Arsenal fans, is what does my head in.

Flick has been out of the game too long. Hasn’t anything to offer as a long term appointment. Plus beyond that short spell as Bayern manager he’s not really done much.
Emery has signed a new contract Sami. Not that it matters as he doesn’t seem to do well at bigger clubs. In fact he only really excels at clubs with Villa in the name. Villarreal, Sevilla and Aston Villa.

Jota injured again for 2weeks, how we juggling this one for the derby?
2
23 Apr 2024 14:05:32
We should be looking for a buyer for Jota. His injury record is unacceptable for a top club.
One of the things I really hope leaves with Klopp is our APPALLING injury record and inability to improve it. Beyond the impact on our performances, it’s just irritating that “professional” players can’t stay fit. p.

23 Apr 2024 14:07:54
Jota puts his body on the line gives every last drip but pays for it by getting injured frequently.

Fantastic goalscorer but the bloke is made of quavers. So frustrating.
1
23 Apr 2024 14:43:44
Getting silly now, always injured and a waste of wages if you ask me. I like the lad, when fit he knows where the goal is but come on, he can't keep at a club like Liverpool constantly (or almost) injured, it's stupid. I agree with you Lowe, it is irritating.
2
23 Apr 2024 14:50:10
Blimey, it's two weeks!
We've Salah, Nunez, Diaz, Gakpo and Danns. Everton will be without Beto, surely and DCL, probably 😂 so let's not get too despondent about the Derby.
I was relieved to see Beto give the thumbs up on Sunday because it was very worrying at one point.

{Ed025's Note - im glad Beto is ok as well Rigsby, but it would be more worrying for me if he played mate...i think hes terrible..

23 Apr 2024 15:10:12
Where's all the money coming from to replace all these players people want shot of? if they are injury prone then we'll not get a big transfer fee for them. So far it's Matip and Thiago, added to those is Tsimi, Jota, Grav, Salah, Nunez, today Jones as he's injury prone and Diaz coz his father is always mouthing off. Gako is being given a stay of execution after having a couple of good games so his head is currently not on the block.
Considering one of the Ed's today said that we might not be willing to pay Amorim and his staffs release clauses it's looking like money is tight again so hard to see how we afford to replace the above.
2
23 Apr 2024 15:45:14
Players get injured and I’m sure it’s frustrating for Jota as much is it is for us fans. But the guy is injured every season.
And saying he is our most clinical striker is all well and good but what good is that when he is not available? I would and expect he will be sold in the summer. One, to raise funds and two to bring in someone who not injury prone.
Btw, here is his injury record stretching back to the 18/ 19 season. I would add the fact that he joined us in 20/ 21, so the previous two campaigns below are from his days at Wolves.
23/ 24 - Knee collateral - 51 days
23/ 24 - Muscle injury - 28 days
22/ 23 - Calf injury - 116 days
22/ 23 - Hamstring injury - 31 days
21/ 22 - Ankle injury - 14 days
20/ 21 - Foot injury - 11 days
20/ 21 - Knee bruise - 84 days
19/ 20 - Calf injury - 21 days
19/ 20 - Ankle injury - 28 days
18/ 19 - Bruise - 25 days
18/ 19 - Hamstring injury - 32.

{Ed001's Note - I do wonder how much of a part his long hours playing videogames has to play (sorry bad pun) in his injury problems. It is not good to be sat still for hours on end.}

23 Apr 2024 15:48:29
I'm a big fan of Jota but his injury record is extremely concerning.
Its no good really what a player brings to the table if they're only coming to that table half the time you want them there.
I gave Nunez a bit of stick (in SF eyes was a hammering) yesterday but one of his big positives is more often than not he's available for selection.
1
23 Apr 2024 15:53:03
Ed025, I know what you mean. Beto is a big lad but apart from that I'm struggling to see what he offers.
Why is everyone so convinced that Salah is leaving? I'd be tempted to sell if a big offer comes from the Saudi league but would he want to go there and give up CL football?
I'd be disappointed in him if he did.

I did say don't count your chickens with amorim. People are overestimating how coveted the job is right now.
Despite the info coming from agents they do seem to be right about young up and coming managers viewing the Liverpool job as a negative right now.

As big the Job is it is the structure that is the issue for Amorim.

Amorim wants some control over who we sign and not to work under the strict jurisdiction of Edwards and Hughes. Plus West ham are offering more in salary. The man is capable @Johnny and is better than the dross we are now interviweing as we speak.

Who are we interviewing, as we speak, Beekeeper?
0
23 Apr 2024 14:45:34
TheBeekeeper, I watched a podcast about Amorim and what he is like as a manager and the Portuguese league specialist mentioned exactly that he wants and is fully hands on about what players come to the club. According to him, Amorim does not do compromises. He wants who he wants and will not waiver. Back then, I saw that as being a slight prob and apparently, it is.
1
23 Apr 2024 14:59:43
To be fair Johnny, he’s perfectly entitled to want some level of input and control on the squad front. I’d read there was also disparity on the salary offer and what he’s asking for, again, he’s entitled to ask what he feels he’s worth. You’ve got to remember, he has no connection to the club and he knows he’s got lots of options so we’re not the only club he’ll get an offer from, consider that Bayern, Juventus, Barcelona, Man United, possibly Chelsea among others will all likely be looking for new managers in the summer. The fact we’ve spoken to no hopers like Kovac and Fonseca is very concerning though to say the least.
