Confirmed that Virgil requires surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament. I expect Everton fans are happy at least. Wishing Virgil a speedy recovery.

What's your source Jeffinho? As far as I know he is still waiting to see a consultant.
2.) 18 Oct 2020 18:23:51
Club have confirmed the surgery kbl.
3.) 18 Oct 2020 18:37:31
Cheers Jordz - yeah just seen it on the website.

Info on website says knee ligament injury - not necessarily ACL.
5.) 18 Oct 2020 19:06:58
Well it'll be one of the crucial ligaments around the knee.

I honestly feel sick to the pit of my stomach at this news of VVD’s injury.
One of the world’s best footballers injured by an awful challenge from Pickford, absolutely terrible news.
7.) 18 Oct 2020 21:05:18
What was pickford thinking, although I think that's a question Everton fans ask most weeks. Abs inexcusable what he did, but it's done and we have to get on with it now. We are an awesome team, made a bit weaker by vvds absence, but we need our lads to step up now, I think they will too.
8.) 18 Oct 2020 21:21:40
Everton fans i know feel bad about it. It's the Man United fans laughing because they don't have a lot to smile about nowadays.
9.) 18 Oct 2020 23:54:40
Wouldn't be like them MK.
10.) 19 Oct 2020 17:21:25
Barry, I’d tend to the the vocal idiots on twitter don’t represent the Everton fan base, but someone like Ed025 does.

Hi Ed, Jason Burt (Daily Telegraph) says LFC contacted Monaco re Thomas Lemar, fee up to £60m. Have u heard this? Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - If they have it would have to be since I left them on Friday morning.}

What about gelson martins? Does interest remain?
{Ed002's Note - As a Salah replacement? Or Mane?}

Hi Eds and Reds
I've been a Liverpool supporter for a good 40 years and been privileged to have seen many top class players and some great teams. Arguably our best ever league side was from 1978-79 which broke records for number of points, goals scored, goals conceded etc. I recently saw some footage of a match from that season which was made up of the following midfield; Jimmy Case, Terry McDermott, Graeme Souness and Ray Kennedy. Drool. What is evident is that all of them could tackle and put themselves about, all of them contributed defensively and they all contributed to the attack. All of those 4 players scored brilliant goals for us and I think they would walk into any Liverpool side of today. We used to attack as a team and defend as a team, the midfield players were fundamental to this ethos and they were coached to cover for each other in different areas of the pitch. The modern way of coaching seems to think that you have to have a defensive midfielder, a deep lying playmaker, an attacking midfielder etc. Do you think the game has improved tactically from the era of our great side of the late 70s or do you think tactics have become too complex? The Liverpool of today is vastly inferior to the Liverpool that I grew up watching week in week out. I can't help but feel that if we had really good coaching we could go forwards by going back to the Liverpool way of old i.e. pass, move, create space, move the ball quickly, doing the basic fundamentals and doing them well. Shankly, Paisley and Fagan were not complicated in their thinking and methods; they just kept it simple, bought or nurtured good players and coached them to do the simple things well. I was hopeful that our current manager had a philosophy of playing that would be applied at every level of the club, but there doesn't seem much cohesion from one season to the next, with too many changes in personnel and tactics. If we could coach the first team squad and u21s to play the same way it would make the transition for our talented youngsters into the senior squad much easier, keep continuity in the squad and probably save a lot of money on expensive transfers. A new player would come into the first team because he is better than the player currently in that position, not because you have decided to change the way in which we play. It's not exactly rocket science. Do you think it's realistic to go back to how we used to do things, or is this just a bit naive and the Liverpool way of old is merely an outdated way of thinking?
{Ed001's Note - some is outdated, but the basics do apply.}

Jeffinho, Great Post in fact that good I read it a couple of times, you're old school like myself and have seen all the great Liverpool Teams, I first started going with me dad in 1963 stood on a stool at the back of the Annie road (aged 8)
Feel sorry for all our younger supporters who have never seen them lift the league or European cups , as I have said before the premier league has never been out of the cities of Manchester or London ( bar Blackburn 1995) and I can't see that ever altering unless we get a Billionaire and a Good Manager, in fact I think the next time we win the league I will be in Allerton Cemetry and there will be millions with me !!! as I said its going to YO-YO between LONDON and Manchester for many,many,many Decades to come.
MANY THANKS FOR A GREAT POST BROUGHT BACK MANY GREAT MEMORIES

didn't leeds win it?
3.) 07 Sep 2015 22:25:49
The defensive midfielder is a trend in football
I remember the good old 4-4-2.
Memories.

I have seen every Liverpool side since the sixties. I would challenge your opinion regarding the 78-79 side being the best. Certainly they were probably the most clinical and efficient, but the best for sheer quality, swagger and entertainment has to be the Dalglish squad when he was player/manager and manager.
That truly was a magic red army.
5.) 07 Sep 2015 23:21:09
Sounds like I'm in the same boat age wise ;-). Without weighing in about the best side (i'm internally conflicted on that matter lol), i'm with Red Lenin about entertainment value of the 87/88 side. Unbelievable.
The 78/79 side was though more of a physically stronger side, that could also grind out a result, even when the champagne football didn't happen. Especially away from Anfield.

Leeds was the last winners before the premier league

Just wanted to express my sympathy and best wishes to Brian Hall's family following his passing aged 68. One of Shankly's unsung heroes and a wonderful, charming man who served LFC with class and dignity. A true ambassador for our club. RIP Brian.
1.) 17 Jul 2015 13:15:54
Absolutely echo the sentiments. RIP Brian Hall.
{Ed001's Note - he was a lovely man who made all visitors to the club welcome. That is over and above his ability as a player for me, a sad loss.}
2.) 17 Jul 2015 13:25:09
I knew Brian was unwell recently but didn't realise it was so serious. Gutted he was a real gentleman a player who made a massive contribution to the cause and his passing should be recognised as the loss of a legend and a model professional. As you say a fantastic servant and ambassador who loved the club and its supporters. RIP Brian Hall YNWA
3.) 17 Jul 2015 14:06:10
RIP. Condolences to his family.
4.) 17 Jul 2015 14:17:35
Brian hall was around when I took my son on his first an field tour seven years ago such a nice friendly man as well as a lfc legend. God bless.

Just read the momentous news today from the Hillsborough inquest. Hoping that this will be a huge step forward towards justice for the 96 and a degree of closure for their families. Love and peace to all those affected. YNWA.
15 Apr 2014 10:57:33
On this momentous day, much love to the bereaved, traumatised and everyone affected by the Hillsborough disaster. May you find comfort in your distress and justice at last. I love Liverpool FC. JFT96, YWNA.

Would there be any possibility that LFC could negotiate a deal to sign Doku next year and let him stay in Belgium for this season (similar arrangement to Keita and RB Leipzig three years ago)? Just a thought.
07 Sep 2020 19:05:08
Why do people think Ojo isn't making it at LFC? He has raw ability - is it just an attitude that he doesn't really want to work hard enough to make it? I would be interested to know your opinion, as he was so highly rated 3-4 years ago.
30 Aug 2020 20:45:51
Wow, £40m is €44.9m. Most of the reports suggested Bayern wanted only €30m, which is reasonable. I wouldn't be keen on LFC paying what you have quoted Ed!
{Ed002's Note - It should have been Euro not £. They quoted Euro 30M to another side.}
29 Aug 2020 12:04:50
Hope not, I would be gutted if he left, no amount of money could replace his ability. Mane is one of our key players and he should not be sold under any reasonable circumstances, no matter how much another club bids for him.
16 Aug 2020 14:06:27
I think it is unlikely that any agreement between the clubs will be agreed and publicised until Bayern complete their CL campaign. So nothing is likely to happen for a few days at least. Personally I would love Thiago at LFC - he is class and would improve our team.
28 Nov 2020 16:22:10
Completely agree with you Virgil. I don't think either incident today was a clear and obvious error and yet LFC have got the wrong end of both VAR decisions. It's hard to take.
22 Nov 2020 21:49:14
Best team performance of the season so far, taking into consideration the players missing through injury. Well played Red men!
16 Nov 2020 15:06:48
I second everything said about Ray, our greatest keeper and a proper legend, as well as being a charming man. RIP Clem.
12 Nov 2020 10:40:16
Here is one good reason why Sami Hyypia is not a good reason to cover at centre back. he's 47! Apart from that I agree - Sami of 15-20 years ago was a great player.
04 Nov 2020 16:35:10
Rome 1977 you are right. Losing against Chelsea meant it was no longer in our hands, so even if we had beaten Palace 0-3 City would still have won the league on goal difference. Gerrard's slip was pivotal as it contributed to the loss, when only a draw was needed to keep it in our hands.
