Liverpool banter 3

14 Apr 2024 19:21:39
Well that's that then. Goodbye Klopp you absolute legend. Been great but I think he's spot on that there's nothing more that he can do for us based on how everything has fallen away the last few weeks. Hopefully Amorim can bring back some energy and good attacking football.

14 Apr 2024 19:54:32
It's more disappointing with the players we have and squad. Allison and virg aren't go into be here forever and we should have won more than we did and especially this season. The seasons not over yet but since the United fa cup game there's just a real tiredness to us now especially mentally. The constant going behind certainly doesn't help aided with the system. Klopp said post match trent came on and structurally we were better?! If klopp had stayed for another 4 years this inverted system was never going and the lack of width was never changing either. Robbo was fantastic today, it'd amazing when quaulty players play wide and put in some terrific crosses for players who are great in the air.

14 Apr 2024 20:46:49
This inverted fullback system does nothing against teams that sit in. We should be trying to open the pitch up. Our outball right is konate when Trent plays inverted, madness.

14 Apr 2024 21:18:20
I had made a couple of posts where I hoped that we would go back to basics tactically after trying to out-tactic the opposition over the last few weeks, but frustratingly Klopp had other ideas again.

Also, it was clear Endo/ Macca were exhausted on Thu. To start them both was surprising.

As it stands, it looks like the season and Klopp era is going to go out with a whimper - even with Arsenal's defeat.

15 Apr 2024 02:17:17
We created enough chances in the last 2 prem games to win 10 games, but if we don't have a proven goalscorer anymore what are we going to do. Mo hasn't been the same since the hamstring injury and for as much chaos as he causes, Darwin isn't that guy. We need a 20+ in the league goal machine and we need a settled central defensive partnership.

15 Apr 2024 03:02:40
100% our biggest issue. Nunez is not the answer, I think he could work on the left wing if Diaz were to leave but he is no way a striker out and out.
We need an injury free forward that can take his chances when they are presented.
I like Osmihen but probably beyond our budget.
Isla is also an upgrade.

{Ed001's Note - Osimhen misses as many as Nunez, so does Haaland. All strikers miss sitters, I can remember Rush kneeing one over from inside the 6 yard box with an open goal. That is not our biggest issue, it is the quality of chances we are creating that is the problem. Every single shot the box is full of opposition players, we no longer get in behind, we don't drag their defenders out of position, so they can get bodies in the way. While that happens, the chances of a shot finding the back of the net are massively reduced. How many 1-on-1s did we get against Palace? I think it was 1 if I remember correctly. And that fell for Jones. We are getting off lots of shots, but rarely are we getting open space to aim at.}

15 Apr 2024 06:44:13
I think it was V V in the chat who said ‘Nunez has the touch of an axe murderer’. Hard to argue with that observation.
For a £90m striker his technique is poor. It feel like he’s always snatching at chances, head down and smash it as hard as he can - the knock down from the corner being an example. 5 yards out, smash it at the keepers knee. He didn’t have a lot of time but take a second and try and miss the keeper.
He doesn’t time his runs well either, there are a lot of offsides.
For me, he’s not good enough technically but I completely appreciate his good points - pace, strength, tenacity, work rate. I get it why people appreciate him, this is no slight on them, he just needs to be better.
His transfer fee does him no favours.

15 Apr 2024 07:07:21
Who's great in the air?

15 Apr 2024 07:14:26
I'm with Ed001. I think Nunez has been incredibly unlucky to not score more than he has this season. Yes he 'smashes' the ball slot but most of the time in football those go in. No Nunez is not the problem. He's a 24 YO striker who has everything in his locker and will this year and ongoing be a 20 goal a season striker minimum. The tactics and lack of width when teams sit deep is what does us. So sick of watching us play short passes around the 30 years mark from oppos goals, all within the width of the 18 yard box. So easy to defend, press and counter against.
Klopp has been amazing but as I said 2 years ago the persistence of backing Peps style with this slow possession based inverted system is woeful. Feels like he has betrayed the original version of him to be frank. It's the right time to leave and let someone else (Amorim fingers crossed) have a crack.

15 Apr 2024 07:39:44
At some point during the international break we decided to try and become Brighton.

Neil from Anfield Wrap asked why does it seem like we continuously use the first half as a fact finding mission. Are we not doing our opposition analysis anymore? Or are we being arrogant and choosing to start with a handicap?

Ed001, is right about the chance types for the forwards. Crowded boxes, scrambles or difficult angles.

15 Apr 2024 09:00:50
I disagree with the quality of the chances.

Look at the goals we concede. They are not always clear 1-1 chances. There are a lot of crowded penalty areas (yesterday) .
I think of some of the Atalanta goals, some of the Man U goals.
How much easier does it get than 5 yards out with just the keeper in front of you?

I don’t need a striker who can score open goals, I expect them to be able to score other types of goals. Like the ones we concede.

{Ed001's Note - but we do not have bodies in the way, everyone is just stood off, no one is closing down. Our opposition are throwing themselves into the challenge, getting their bodies in the way, rather than standing off and waiting.}

15 Apr 2024 09:49:21
Well that is certainly true Ed, we have bodies all around them but they aren’t trying as hard to block the shots.

{Ed001's Note - that is a problem all over the pitch, the press is non-existent and no one is closing down and getting in people's faces. Most of the time the only one trying is Endo and it is easy to bypass one player. It is so sad to see the season petering out this way.}

15 Apr 2024 09:54:02
Robbo was our best player yesterday and terrific the first half. I don't believe if i remember he did the same second half which was a great option for us. Very poor decisions from the staff.

15 Apr 2024 17:12:39
Ed, is it the exhaustion of a long season that is now showing it's ugly face, or specifically how we have set the team up which is making is turgid?

{Ed001's Note - we have gone back to the way the team was being set up to play this season. It is nothing to do with exhaustion.}

15 Apr 2024 20:37:57
thanks Ed, so it's back to the inverted RB schtick that basically nullifies any width in play and focusses on possession?

{Ed001's Note - yes.}

14 Apr 2024 11:15:23
Who else can feel it?
Today, we replevy our charge
Today, we pummel to slash GD
Today, we show why we are LIV
Today, we bin the Mancs and Atalanta hangover. We have learnt our lessons.
Today, we roll and a rolling stone knows no moss.
Guys, it's the season, no. 20 is coming HOME. I BELIEVE! 💪💪🔥.

14 Apr 2024 11:50:35
I predict we concede in 20 minutes to some stupid goal.

14 Apr 2024 11:51:53
Yeah! let's replevy ;)

14 Apr 2024 12:05:22
Love it Ugbes mate. Nothing more I would want than to win the league. But the boys have to show their worth today.

A big victory against Palace would give us the momentum needed to bring number 20 back home.

14 Apr 2024 13:03:59
Really hope we discover our shooting boots.

14 Apr 2024 13:34:55
A clean sheet would be good to start with I reckon 3-0 😁.

14 Apr 2024 14:52:14
Embarrassing first half at home as well.

14 Apr 2024 15:03:35
Not feeling it yet.

14 Apr 2024 16:00:05
Shame the players didn’t feel it.

It’s been a rollercoaster season that looks like it’s going to end in a whimper.

The only good thing is APPARENTLY Arsenal can’t score goals and City aren’t good chasers so them pair will blink first 🙄.

14 Apr 2024 16:11:49
This post didn't age well.

14 Apr 2024 16:14:55
Today we embarrass ourselves again.

14 Apr 2024 16:36:10
We are carrying too many poor players in our squad some will never be good enough some might play well in a system that suits them better either way it's looking like champions league football and a league cup is all we will have to show for all our over achieving this season seriously think there will be a big clear out in the next 3 windows when the new manager comes in. It's a pity because the season promised so much and we just look like we've ran out of steam and ideas and that's players and management alike.

14 Apr 2024 17:09:18
Ok someone put the positive spin on that catastrophe.

14 Apr 2024 17:38:37
DeanW called it right.

14 Apr 2024 17:50:53
McG, you asked for it and here it is. Every season we go through some sort of dip in form. Ever since Klopp has been here. This is it now, for this season. 😉

And here's another one. Only the second defeat at Anfield in the last 59 games. What's all the commotion for? 😜.

14 Apr 2024 18:17:44
And Arsenal are getting turned over 🥴.

14 Apr 2024 18:21:59
All set up for us to lose the league by a point again.

14 Apr 2024 18:57:51
City are now top and have the balls to go and win every game, what an absolute cock up today was.

14 Apr 2024 19:05:48
It may even be just goal difference.

All 3 teams have it in them to lose more points after this weekend.

14 Apr 2024 19:29:03
City will not lose or draw any games they have coming, 1 absolute Fool up today. Money talks eventually.

14 Apr 2024 22:23:47
Doesn't really matter if City do drop points because we don't look like we're capable of winning one game let alone the rest of them.

15 Apr 2024 06:36:02
That’s the key Red-Willis-1 we don’t look capable of taking advantage: Everton (a), Spurs (h) West Ham (a), Villa (a)
These are not easy games even when we are taking our chances and keeping clean sheets.

15 Apr 2024 07:22:51
If Jones is the answer then what I ask is the question.

14 Apr 2024 11:10:20
Ed001 I would expect Kelleher leave in the summer think this run of games has shown he is to good to be a number 2. We should get good money for him to help the new manager bring in some players he wants. Do you know if Marcelo Pitaluga is ready to step up as our number 2.
Cheers Ed.

{Ed001's Note - as a number 2 I think so. Kelleher needs to go get regular first team football for his own sake. He is nowhere near good enough to challenge Alisson, so he would be better served moving on I think.}

14 Apr 2024 11:52:12
Such a shame for Kelleher, seems a really good keeper, but you can never have 2 amazing keepers and keep them both happy.
I guess you have to keep developing them and moving them on when they peak, shame as usually having a "normal" number 2 basically loses you games. We've been really lucky this year.

14 Apr 2024 11:59:23
That's the right call. Kelleher is rightfully No. 2 at LFC, but if he wants to start elsewhere then the club should facilitate that. He's not overtaking Alison. Not now and not in another 5 years.

14 Apr 2024 19:29:50
100% should be a buy back clause.

14 Apr 2024 21:20:51
Ed01, the fact that Ali came back today and played like he never left, should tell Kellerher and his reps that it is time to go and gt a career of his own. I mean, Ali can prolly roll out of bed and go drop a masterclass in goal, he makes it look that easy.

14 Apr 2024 09:00:37
Not a rumour but question for the Ed's and others - if Salah or diaz were to go would/ should/ will we go for Toney. Whatever system the new manager needs having a prem experienced and proved goal scorer will make the transition much more successful. Isn't Toney an LFC fan, for 50 million he would leave change for other signings and be great for us for 3 years.

14 Apr 2024 09:40:01
Wouldn’t touch him. Too lazy. Plus other issues. Got ManU signing written all over it.

14 Apr 2024 09:58:44
I wouldn’t put money on us going for Toney but he might.

14 Apr 2024 10:46:58
Unnecessary baggage, wouldn’t go near him especially not for 50mil Jesus.

14 Apr 2024 11:05:51
He’s a useful player. But isn’t he 28? Spunking the majority of your budget on a player going into a new season where he turns 29 is just stupidity.

14 Apr 2024 12:03:52
I'd go for Ollie Watkins before I'd go for Ivan Toney. Same age, but Watkins has been regularly progressing and is having his best year ever in goals and assists. Toney just has too much "baggage" as has been said.

14 Apr 2024 12:10:01
Salah will never be replaced. We need to find other solutions in our attack and in the market.

Personally, Danns seems to be ready for 1st team football.

I predict next season he will be a regular if the new coach gives him game time.

14 Apr 2024 21:22:42
Toney? I agree with 1jj. A Utd signing written all over it. Arsenal, Chelsea and Utd are welcome to him.

13 Apr 2024 14:19:13
Going into the Atalanta game I was very surprised to hear klopp describe them as sitting back and holding a low block. It genuinely shocked me because gasperini never plays that way.

I watch quite a lot of Italian footy and that's not how Atalanta have played at any point in the season.

The reason we got beat is we did not prepare properly. based on what klopp said I genuinely think we just made assumptions about the game based on the fact Atalanta is a 'smaller' club and prepared for that game.

I actually found it very dismissive what klopp said pre game. I went into the game expecting a team to press high and break with pace, which is how Atalanta played.

Perhaps it's not the players who have checked out, maybe it's klopp.

13 Apr 2024 16:04:07
I was really gutted about his comments in the interview with TNT. He was asked if he'd miss European nights at Anfield and in short, he basically said he wouldn't. I think he's ready to call it a day already. Feels like he's staying until the summer as a courtesy with comments like that.

I really hope he can find another couple of months of energy and charisma for us.

13 Apr 2024 16:21:28
Honestly think Klopp is as entitled as they come, says some ridiculous things at times.

13 Apr 2024 21:47:05
Klopp is human like the rest of us. He’s going to have his good days and his bad days as well as the days he’s grouchy.

Let’s be be honest how many of us have reacted and said something outs of turn or they regret.

Klopps a legend but he’s human.

We all need to stop taking it all too seriously. Even though it was said by a legend himself but football 100% isn’t more important than life or death and anyone who argues it is I’ll call bull s##t.

13 Apr 2024 22:08:37
Mr Bean with the most ironic post of the year so far.

13 Apr 2024 23:04:58
Spot on Jk mate.

13 Apr 2024 23:26:19
Mr Bean. What a goon.

13 Apr 2024 18:26:44
The energy has gone from Klopp and the other coaches. It was a mistake to announce him leaving as the wheels have come off after an initial boost. The players look like there walking to the end of the season were we still had everything to play for. Really disappointing.

Klopp is a legend but he’s probably stayed a season to long.

13 Apr 2024 18:46:30
I wasn’t at the game but I watched it.

Klopp was maniacal on the touchline.

Any idea that he has lost his energy or enthusiasm is bunk.

He’s probably sick to death of interviews which is fair enough.

14 Apr 2024 01:06:15
Klopp out!

Oh wait.

14 Apr 2024 08:28:01
Why is this breaking news to anyone? Klopp says a lot of dust after games esp. after a lcrushing loss that affects him emotionally hence, not in control of things coming out of his mouth in those moments right after a game. This has always been the case with him. Not sure what all the fuss is about.

14 Apr 2024 08:59:31
Yeah ok lads, you lot can crawl up mr Klopps arse, the so called legend that’s left you all hanging after signing a contract and not honouring it! Bloke thinks he calls the shots he’s not that great in my opinion, got lucky with salah mane and firmino. Since then he’s won sod all. Couple joke cups on penalties.

14 Apr 2024 09:07:24
I find it more disappointing that fans are now turning their back on the man after all he has done for this club.
Is it too much to ask to give your unconditional support for the last few weeks he has with us instead of finding snippets to criticise him for?
Maybe next season we will have something to really complain about 🤷‍♂️. It seems to me Klopp isn’t the only one who has downed tools.

14 Apr 2024 09:21:18
@Irish the overwhelming majority of fans aren’t turning their back on him.

14 Apr 2024 09:24:24
The problem is klopp has spoiled us all, the norm now is getting 90 odd points in league going deep in 4 competitions and doing it on a transfer net spend of a lot less than your rivals. This is over achieving not under achieving.
And b4 everybody has a go at me about transfer spending unfortunately the teams that spend the most win the most, that's a fact.
After every defeat it is now what we call in Ireland, a wake (2-3days mourning b4 a funeral) and the reason it is is because we ain't used to it and lot of supporters just can't handle a defeat r a bad run.

14 Apr 2024 09:29:38
Never really got the obsession with honouring contracts when it comes to football - obvs there is how you handle it, but is a v cut throat business for players and managers.

From a players perspective you can play for years and come from youth team - then get sold / dropped in an instant. Managers can get sacked after bringing a team up leagues or winning trophies after a bad run.

Main bit is how you carry yourself and respect shown when given. I never recall Klopp ever being disrespectful towards club, supporters and can’t doubt effort given - added if think is overrated with legend status, then explain anger that is leaving and being replaced?

Same with anyone’s job - it is an agreement between parties, not ownership from one party. Stress comes with the rewards so if Klopp feels his time is up for whatever reason then based on his service and effort given can’t fault the man.

14 Apr 2024 09:45:17
Mr bean I’m good with Klopp leaving me hanging mate.

In my eyes Klopp is a legend but I’ve supported this club long before he came and I will long after he goes so I’m not too sure how much hanging he has left me to do.

14 Apr 2024 09:52:56
I agree WDW 👍.

14 Apr 2024 10:41:02
Klopp has done a lot for the club and for that I'm very thankfully. He's earned his time in the sun and his status at the club but if we are being honest his reign is one of of missed opportunities more than it is of opportunities grabbed.

League cup, 2 Europa league, 1 premier league, 1 champions league

Those are what we should have won that we didn't in my opinion. We like to think of his reign as legendary but in truth it's only legendary by our standards (which were very low) .

Ranieri, dalglish, ancelotti, conte all won the same number of premier league titles (we can prob add arteta to that list soon) I doubt many of us refer to conte or ranieri as legends right?

Some - Jose, pep, fergie, Wenger all won more than klopp.

If we're talking European trophies then klopp is still lagging behind. Losing more finals than he won. He isn't even ahead of benitez on that front. You might even say our one win the champs league we because we met an inferior team in the final. Every time we meet a good team we lose the final (Sevilla, Madrid x 2, city in LC)

He has given a lot to Liverpool and I appreciate him giving us back our prestige but I do also wish we hadn't stumbled and fell over almost every time we got to the finish line.

You can say Madrid blah blah city blah blah but the brutal truth is the best beat the best and we can't quite get past the finish line 70% of the time.

14 Apr 2024 10:29:24
He’s absolutely a legend, how many LFC managers have won the league and the Champions league (European Cup)?
He deserves his place as a legend - it’s self-evident.

It would be much easier for him to stay at the club, wait to get sacked and then get compensation for his contract.
He gave the club sufficient notice.
He’s not left anyone hanging, he’s got no more to give and is going before it impacts the club.

Poor take by Bean.

14 Apr 2024 11:06:24
Mr Bean has been "Klopp out" since last season. So no surprises to me that he said what he said. On the contrary, I'm quite impressed by his consistency.

14 Apr 2024 11:26:39
You sound like such a staunch Liverpool supporter Mr Bean, why would anyone question your logic?

14 Apr 2024 12:01:52
Say what you want, low standards and all, but for me he's a legend.

14 Apr 2024 12:03:16
Nevada
Before Klopp, Liverpool hadn’t won a PL in 30 years. Let that sink in. Three generations of mainly not even close to winning. Of course I would have wanted more and maybe under different circumstances ( Man City and all they stand for) we definitely would have but the biggest thing for me was changing the culture of our “ loser” tag into a club that should be competing.
Also, should Klopp have realised the Sh#t show Karius would display in a CL final 🤷‍♂️.

14 Apr 2024 12:35:16
*decades.

14 Apr 2024 15:05:46
Y'all didn't read. I said he's a legend to us in the same way moyes might be a legend to west ham.

What is his competition? A slew of decent cup managers and that's it. By the standards of fergie, wenger, pep and even Jose klopp isn't in that conversation really.

He's not a legend. He's just a legend to us. In two seasons if he just wins one game against city he wins two more titles, that's why I said we always stumble at the finish.

The best characterisation of klopps time if we are being very honest is that it was a very good time in charge but it always fell short of being great.

Would we call fergie a legend if he won united one title, even if it was after 30 years of nothing. no we wouldn't. Is James beattie a legend for winning one golden boot? No of course not.

Klopp is our legend, but not a premier league legend by pretty much any standard. Winning a second title would put him above the one season wonders but it's very unlikely we are getting a title.

14 Apr 2024 17:11:20
He’s an Anfield legend, he doesn’t work for the premier league.

14 Apr 2024 20:11:20
If being an anfield legend is your aim then you'll be a very happy football fan. Seems like a low bar to me.

13 Apr 2024 07:39:01
{Ed's Note - Anonymous Woolback has posted a new article entitled, Is Jurgen Klopp Burnt Out At Liverpool FC?

13 Apr 2024 12:52:09
Feels like the season ended at Old Trafford tbh mate.
I gave away my ticket and glad I did.
It’s all fizzled away unfortunately, not a coincidence that all the players suddenly returned at once after the pressure is off.

But who knows, maybe the champions league hangovers kick in and City Arsenal blink.

But Personally i don’t see us capable of winning 7 games playing like this.

13 Apr 2024 13:24:45
That's the spirit LiverpoolFC8, if you have a ticket for the Wolves game at the end of the season can I call dibs on it now please! Will be so appreciative that you give me the opportunity to watch Klopp and the squad parade the EPL trophy around A field as 2023/ 24 Champs!

13 Apr 2024 14:33:36
First things first, we need to find a lineup and performance with better balance between defence and attack.

We had that earlier in the season so we know it's there.

Hopefully Klopp can find that against Crystal Palace. And that will be the basis for the rest of the season.

I get why people are a bit gloomy with recent performances and results but giving up when we are only off top spot on goal difference seems a little over the top. Let's hope for that performance tomorrow and then go from there.

13 Apr 2024 14:57:32
My season didn't end at Old trafford, my team are about to win the league.

13 Apr 2024 15:03:31
@ liverpoolfc8:Nope. How does it feel like season ended we still in with slim chance of Europa still joint top in league as for giving your ticket away? You don’t even deserve one. I got blue mates who sit through that sh*te week in week out that would call you a glory hunter, I’d have to agree with them too.

@ anonymous woolback:
Nope I don’t think klopp is burnt out. Him this year v him last year is night and day. He looks like a weight has been lifted. Like the team night and day, full rebuild people was saying . This team is just starting out, halfway through a transition hindered by injuries to our most experienced players ( Matip, Ali, Trent, Robbo even Thiago and mo) yet they still within grasp of more glory so no not burnt out/ washed up probably a bit frustrated knowing like us if he had players back and the forwards would find the back of the net with the umpteen chances we create we would be out of sight In The league probably. As for Atalanta, playing players back into form / fitness in a game we all expected to win is expected really.

13 Apr 2024 15:15:58
“If your not in the right shape, give your ticket to somebody else” - Jurgan Klopp

Following the bosses orders. If you attended the game however. Your support was dreadful, dead almost. You let the club down as much as the players.

13 Apr 2024 15:34:16
LFC8 I’ll disagree there mate. I was at the game and sung with my boy until the final whistle.

Strange how you are critical of fans in the ground giving up when you didn’t even make it that far yourself.

13 Apr 2024 16:47:12
A couple of bad results and the whining starts.

14 Apr 2024 06:18:45
HessleRed - It’s not just “a couple of bad results”, is it?
In the last month we’ve been knocked out of two competitions (one still undecided but the overwhelming likelihood is that we are out) - both of which we were arguably favourites to win - and both in rather humiliating fashion.
From so much promise, we now face the task of winning the league against a City team who thrive at this time of year (they play less risky football and opponents are too exhausted from the long season to compete with City’s technical superiority), while we aren’t playing that well.
No surprise to see our some members of the squad make a full recovery once the pressure is off as well.

14 Apr 2024 09:42:38
LoweLFC: favourites in a cup competition that still has city in the same city you just said “thrive at this time of year”?

14 Apr 2024 10:23:43
I CLEARLY said “arguably favourites”, as in some people would regard us as that.
Unlike most teams, we have the quality to challenge and beat City at any stage of the season. A safe, tired team, however, will likely lack the energy and motivation to really try and attack City this late on.

14 Apr 2024 11:08:13
Lowe, are you implying that our players faked their injuries when the pressure is on and are now returning when we are almost out of all competitions and hence, can play with no pressure? Cos I don't get what you're trying to say with that last line there.

Ed1 if Amron does come in what improvements do you think he could bring? Slower attacks meaning more chance of converting? No more inverted full backs? Playing with width?

I love Klopp and always will but it’s time to look to what happens next.

{Ed001's Note - he definitely plays with more width from the wing-backs. But is that the way he wants to play or the way he plays because of the squad he has? If he stays playing the way he does at Sporting, it will be a similar high octane press but rather than inverting a full-back to dominate the midfield, a centre-back steps forward into midfield to press high.}

Hasn’t he denied any contact with Liverpool this week.

12 Apr 2024 20:06:09
JK, hopefully it's a Bill Clinton/ Lewinsky style denial.

12 Apr 2024 22:53:55
Wouldn't you expect him to deny it jk when they're on the verge of a double?

12 Apr 2024 23:11:57
Gmil I hope so as the options look quite slim pickings at the mo.

But wouldn’t it also mean Alonso is still on the table as he’s denied it and he is in similar circumstances.

Only difference is the media who are constantly criticised of knowing nothing and click baiting are reporting Alonso is off so are they believable for this.

classy move from amorim to try and quieten the noise.
I mean he still have quite an important job to do right now.

13 Apr 2024 03:58:35
Stuie. R u saying there has been RELATIONS between lgc and amorion.? 😜.

13 Apr 2024 09:07:36
He just said he hasn't met with anyone from Liverpool which is true apparently Liverpool have just spoken to his agent where as alonso has said he is staying where he is.

13 Apr 2024 09:51:06
Imagine if he doesn't come to us? then what? god help us if that's the case. Bad timing because as things stand there's not a lot of available good managers. I believe he will come but at the same time I believed Alonso would.

Ed01, you could have a point regarding whether whether Amorim plays a back 3 more due to the players he has rather than due to his own preference. I say this cos Sebastian Coates is as we knew from his time at LFC or in the PL (with Sunderland) is as slow as a snail hence, prolly would get exposed in the 4 so he like many CB's who lack pace, are put in a back 3 to play the sweeper role so as not to leave him exposed out wide or in the middle in space.

Same here Salah mate. Just crossing my fingers, toes and anything else that can be crossed that we secure Amorim. Because both him and Alonso are the standout candidates. But If Amorim who I’m completely sold on doesn’t come, then we are in a difficult position on the managerial front. Having said that, I believe he is coming and if reports are to be believed, he was personally Edward’s first choice. If that’s the case, Edwards will do everything in his power to get it done.

13 Apr 2024 12:53:54
I trust Edwards. We’re in good hands with him.

13 Apr 2024 13:31:29
Hopefully Gmil.

Apart from Amorim there’s no other real stand out options.

If we end up with Ange or Nagelsman then YouTube highlights streaming is going to take a massive hit.

13 Apr 2024 13:39:11
Agreed Alonso, I mean a small part of me still thinks it might be Alonso incoming but I know it's wishful thinking. a lot of IDs and buts but yeah we need Amorin in, funny thing is mate, I don't even know much about him but gone on what others have said on here so I'll trust that lol. Last thing we need is a de Zerbi kind of manager. As I said earlier, we're all out of options.

I remember Rafa was an unexpected but welcome boy from the blue.

I wouldn’t mind something like that.
