Liverpool Banter 3

02 Apr 2026 10:35:03
So Paul Joyce has said FSG will continue to back Arne Slot into next season.

He said the very same about Brendan Rodgers in September 2105. A month later he was sacked.

Showing public support to a manager under pressure before a huge few weeks of football is pretty normal.

02 Apr 2026 13:22:59
If Slot stays, then I imagine it could be the end of the road for Curtis, Harvey, Endo, Chiesa, Gomez, Ramsey.

If Slot goes, then some of the above players might get a chance and Gakpo could be the one sold to further raise the transfer budget.

02 Apr 2026 14:15:29
Him staying next season seems more likely "to me" than what he's survived already this season.

We've seen him be Backed through this complete Dross already, so anything is possible.

02 Apr 2026 14:51:17
Have the club confirmed planning on cryogenically freezing Brendan Rodgers so they can thaw him out and give him to manager's job in 79 years' time?

Or, are they planning on cloning him with leftover hairs from Melwood?

02 Apr 2026 14:52:16
JK23, I think it's the end of the road or most of them anyway, bar Curtis and Ramsey. I've no issue with the other 4 being sold off.

02 Apr 2026 15:02:25
Retaining Salah and waiting for a fee becomes nett negative over a short period given salary, bonuses, image rights etc even commanding a suggested 30 million.

We save that same figure by not having him on the books over the course of next season.

The man has earned the right to leave on his terms and I truly don't understand why anyone cannot grasp the numbers being of sense to a business.



These are men who deal with millions of pound contracts daily; they know when an asset offloading makes financial sense.

Allow him the elongated and deserved exit he has earned and the plaudits he will get.

02 Apr 2026 16:19:57
Think there's a good chance all on that list could be gone. Maybe Curtis will stay whether Arne or Xabi/Ireola is manager, but the Curtis of the last while will struggle to get minutes no matter who the manager is. Shame because when he works and moves the ball quick he's a top player.

{Ed025's Note - at his absolute best hes a bench warmer for me FM, but thats just my opinion of course..

02 Apr 2026 16:52:06
"Showing public support to a manager under pressure before a huge few weeks of football is pretty normal."


This! Let us wait and see what happens at the end of the season re/ objectives. If we get nothing achieved at that point, then we will see how much support he will be getting from the board. imo? Slot will be out the door.

02 Apr 2026 16:56:12
No, not a starter for me either Ed but a good player.Easily good enough to be a squad player in a top team, aside from recent form.

{Ed025's Note - a decent Squad player maybe yes FM, but will seriously have to up his game if he is to figure much mate..

02 Apr 2026 17:34:22
I can't see Slot here next season. We as fans are patient, but there will be a revolt if he stays and serves up the same dross.

02 Apr 2026 17:40:52
JK23, those 6 players you mentioned, none, apart from Jones as maybe a squad player, should have no future at Liverpool. If a new manager comes in and keeps them, we have appointed the wrong man.

Endo, Chiesa, Gomez and Ramsay should be nowhere near a Liverpool squad, unless you want us to give up competing for the major trophies. They would not get on the bench at any other top 10 club.

02 Apr 2026 19:47:07
Tsk, I don't pick the squad, mate, and correct me if I'm wrong, they were all in the squad last season when we won the league, which I think is a major trophy.

I can't see anywhere in my original comment where I've mentioned I would keep them.

02 Apr 2026 20:55:03
Why would it not be the end of the road for Ramsey?

02 Apr 2026 22:27:00
Chewy obviously believes he's good enough to be part of a squad trying to win titles.

02 Apr 2026 22:47:17
Irish Rover, Ramsey has youth on his side, and if we get a new manager in, he could possibly turn things around. We're massively short on RB's at the moment, and we've already been warned not to expect a big summer in terms of transfers, so he may be deemed suitable for service by whoever comes in. Only time will tell.

02 Apr 2026 23:01:29
Jones is not a top player FM. Never has been. Never will be by now.

02 Apr 2026 23:26:05
Who warned us, Chewy?

02 Apr 2026 23:29:15
I also said he's not a starter, Shanks. But he is good enough to be a squad member in a top team.

03 Apr 2026 09:21:48
He's a squad player now, and we are not good enough when we play him. At times, squad players are needed to play a lot of games. Jones and Chiesa have both been given the opportunity to break into the first eleven. Robertson declined in consistency. Gomez can't stay fit. The club virtually signed replacements for these 4 players and are now relying on them to do the job the coach didn't think they could do in the first place.

We keep hold of the wrong players to use as squad players. We need hungry players on the bench, not resentful ones.
Jones is Marmite, but surely he shouldn't be an option for right back. He can't defend.

03 Apr 2026 09:57:48
I was of that opinion too FM, but in reality Jones has now been at the club under the tutelage of both Jurgen and Slot. He's started some games, a sub in others, but there's not one game that I can remember where afterwards I've said 'that Jones had a great game today. He really changed the game today. He needs to start the next match for sure.

He's given the manager an issue with selection for the next match.' etc. etc. etc. He's a filler. That's about it and this season isn't even a very good one of those. He hasn't progressed in any way, shape or form. West Ham or similar might give him first team football. That's his level. imo of course.

03 Apr 2026 10:54:38
Jones is a liability wherever he plays. He's too casual, switches off too often, has no positional sense or awareness and cannot defend at all, and for a 6ft lad he has zero physicality.

Doesn't get stuck in. You look at Milner the other week for Brighton, he put the boot in, made a nuisance of himself and set the tone. He was a good squad player because of that kind of effort & mentality.

02 Apr 2026 09:41:56
This might be an unpopular topic of conversation, and apologies if it's been covered elsewhere, but can someone ITK please explain to me why we are letting Salah go for nothing in the summer?
Don't get me wrong, I do think it's the right time for him to move on. I also don't begrudge him being allowed to leave as he seems fits and on good terms given everything he's done for the club. Taking emotion out of it though, this is still a business and Salah is still a contracted sellable asset that would command at least £30M in today's market, and that's being conservative.

Even if we let him go for almost nothing so he can go to where we wants, why would we not get something, anything for him? Even £5M would offset the wage bill for a couple of weeks so why not? Really don't understand that one.

{Ed025's Note - i have been saying that since it was announced Westwood..

02 Apr 2026 10:17:39
How much money is the increase in ticket prices going to generate over the season? Could that have been covered by the possible small transfer fee?

02 Apr 2026 10:21:28
A host of things I imagine, the club get him off the books immediately. If he's on £330k a week post tax, you're paying NI on this, you're also paying a loyalty bonus if a bid comes in for him, you're requiring a club to pay £30m if that comes in at the end of the window, you're paying an extra 8 weeks' wages and national insurance. We probably think he's disrupted the team a lot with his attitude at times.



It gives a pathway to immediately sign someone or promote, with the idea that the space out there is available to play in.

(I am thinking of when Real Madrid kept Ronaldo on when they bought Bale on the proviso they were moving Ronaldo on).

I think the time to sell Salah was when Saudi clubs were offering stupid money for him and we didn't renew Bobby and Mane instead.

02 Apr 2026 10:37:46
If we would have sold him then Phil, we probably wouldn't have won the league last season.

02 Apr 2026 10:45:39
At the end of the day he has proven to be exceptional value for money. He has more than justified the money spent on him in fees and wages.

02 Apr 2026 10:45:43
I am certainly not ITK, but from a business perspective, I would imagine Salah has agreed to give up some portion of bonuses, image rights etc, basically something the club would be entitled to cover.



I'd imagine it's more of a mutual agreement whereby the club won't go through a sale process and Salah agrees to minimise additional costs to the club. I'm sure the finance egg heads have crunched the numbers.

02 Apr 2026 10:46:50
I look at it as a testimonial, let him reap the rewards of a free transfer for services rendered.

02 Apr 2026 10:56:04
At a guess, the club realised in January they couldn't engineer a Saudi sale. Without Saudi, there's unlikely to be any club that would pay a fee and take on his salary. So they probably chose certainty of mutually agreeing to cut his contract short, so they can avoid a disruptive saga over the summer, and can plan with clarity now.



It's difficult to put a price on certainty in the Game of Transfers.

02 Apr 2026 11:04:13
I'm pretty sure the financial eggheads know what they are doing, and this was the best, and easiest, way forward for everyone involved.

02 Apr 2026 11:25:47
Given his age and form this season, nobody's going to be willing to part with more than £20 million for Mo. Covering his wages and bonuses for the next year could cost considerably more than that. Considering his service to the club and the breakdown in the relationship with Slot, getting him off the wage book asap is definitely the best business move.

If you keep him on the books and fail to engineer a move, you're down another 30 million next season for a player who's adding very little, taking up a valuable space, and possibly disrupting the squad. It's a no-brainer really.

02 Apr 2026 11:32:10
Any chance that the 2 year deal he signed was always going to just be 1 year but the '2 years' was to avoid the incessant questions to Salah and the club all year (like last year with VVD TAA and Salah) about 'what happens next year blah blah?'

Maybe an off-book agreement to avoid the media circus?

Maybe total nonsense, as I know nothing about contract law etc, but it certainly has stopped all the questions.

02 Apr 2026 11:56:22
I may be wrong, but club has just said they accept his decision to leave at the end of the season and value his contributions. There is nothing about him going for free to other clubs.
I don't know any clubs around that can match 400k a week, so my belief is he is moving to America and FSG are probably co-purchasing a club in MLS after the WC and he will be the star player signing.


FSG were trying to buy a team in Europe and were not able to do so. They probably shift focus back to America.

02 Apr 2026 12:11:55
Cafu, I believe the contract is terminated at 30/6/26, and therefore Salah is a free agent.

02 Apr 2026 13:11:45
It's a strange 1 alright.

02 Apr 2026 13:14:52
Maybe there was a clause in the contract he's signed last year where either side or both could back out after a year?

02 Apr 2026 13:23:27
From what I have read, if true, he has a £20m loyalty bonus that he has waived if he can go at the end of the season.

02 Apr 2026 13:31:21
Also, we save 20 on his wages alone, so apparently that is like getting a fee for him. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

{Ed025's Note - just getting shut of him is a reward in itself JLC, but he has year to go on his contract so why not put him up for sale mate?..i thought that was the whole point of giving him a 2 year deal last season..

02 Apr 2026 14:45:01
The thing is, you can put all your players up for sale but that doesn't mean:
1) you'll get any offers
2) the offers will be acceptable
3) the player wants to go to 'acceptable offer club'

It's much more complicated than any of us pretend to understand.
Maybe Salah has said, "I'm not going to another club under any circumstances".



Answer this: why would any other club pay even £5 transfer fee this year when they will have to cover his contracted wages and probably offer more, when they can wait 12 months and he's out of contract?

02 Apr 2026 14:49:19
I do not believe for a second that Mo has a desire to play for a Saudi club, so the temptation of a mega-offer is a red herring and has never been on the table.

It is a lazy assumption that because Mo is from the Middle East, (and highly sought after by Saudi clubs), he will sign for one of the Saudi clubs.

02 Apr 2026 15:24:16
Just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons, maybe it's been handled this way and announced now to take the burden off an incoming manager.

Not an easy thing to deal with as your first act as manager, selling a club icon, but if it was mutually agreed between Salah and the club already, we might as well announce it now so that no negativity can be attached to a new manager.



Just a theory, of course.

02 Apr 2026 15:36:06
The club was saving on his wages regardless with a sale. It benefited Salah more than the club. We should have got a fee, he was paid more than enough since he arrived at the club. Salah will get a handsome signing on fee elsewhere.


Hughes and Edwards are journey men and have fleeced the club. Wages, fees, new contracts. Then the Salah announcement. I'm sure Salah and his agent were more than satisfied.

{Ed025's Note - doing hand stands and break dancing i would suggest Ron..

02 Apr 2026 15:01:53
Ed025, he's not worth anything though, by comparison, the wage bill, bonuses and loyalty bonus is probably worth twice what you'd get for him. Saudi are the only ones willing to pay anything over £20 mil after the season he's had and I don't think he has interest in moving there.

If rumours of a £20m loyalty bonus are true then why not let him go now rather than waste time spending the summer trying to make a deal where you're only going to break even anyway, and have to pay his wages the whole time? Cut your losses now and it gives you one less thing to worry about.

{Ed025's Note - i can see what you are saying Chewy but i thought his new 2 year deal was to stop him going for nothing mate ala Trent..

02 Apr 2026 16:55:50
Ed25 as soon as the whole Salah outburst happened esp. with him saying the club were trying to sell him behind his back, I knew he was outta here. It had become untenable. For me, i'm fine with it.

As for his final year, players have done that multiple times in the past so again, I don't see what the fuss is about esp. with the amount in wages that will be saved by him foregoing his final year.

{Ed025's Note - i just thought you would have got a fee for him Oli, otherwise why offer a 2 year deal?..

02 Apr 2026 18:48:18
It's a terrible decision by the club. We must be very very comfortable financially.

They're not bothered about losing players like Trent, Salah, Ibou on frees.

They're not bothered about sacking a sinking manager mid season to save the European places.



They're not bothered about signing players in January for problem areas like right back or defensive mid to attempt to save our downfall.

We must be absolutely shedded, simple as that.

02 Apr 2026 19:18:15
Spotmon Ed25

I said the other day that it would be nice for players, and some players that is, to be allowed to leave on their own terms, then I had a re-think, and thought, fuck'em, these guys are paid handsomely, so much so thatbtheir great great grand kids will be sorted financially, so yeah, the club should actually get a fee for them, whatever that fee is.

We pitched about TAA leaving for nothing last year, and now its like because its Mo, its OK.

What if Konate doesn't extend? What if VVD hangs around for a year and then then leaves? Alison too. Robbo could go on a free as well.

Its just not good business sense.

Lime i said above, I was more peaved that TAA was leaving for nothing, than him actually going. At least we squeezed 10m for him from RM

Mo has been fantastic, and we could easily get 30m for him, easily.

{Ed025's Note - i dont suspect any of these players will be pushing trolleys around the Tesco car park to supplement their pensions JLC, if you can get money for them then thats the way to go mate..

02 Apr 2026 19:22:25
Ed25 indeed, that is a valid question BUT if he doesn't want to go to Saudi and we can't get what we want for him because no one will pay that then, what can you do?

Also, remember that it could also be a case of both parties recognizing what they have done for each other and just have a clean, mutual breakup. That also happens all the time.

It is not always about money or transfer fees. Sometimes, it could be a lot more complicated than that.

{Ed025's Note - there is not much in life that happens without money being involved Oli mate..

02 Apr 2026 20:45:49
Ed025 when someone decides to support a successful super club thousands of miles away on an illegal stream then it's all free mate.

02 Apr 2026 22:39:57
E2025, you're 100% correct, that's definitely the reason for the 2 year deal, unfortunately, his unbelievable dip in form has completely wiped out any chance of turning a profit off that contract though. Best to just cut your losses.

{Ed025's Note - i can see both sides of the argument Chewy, i just think you are being rinsed on this one mate, player power along with greedy agents are taking the piss if you ask me and these contracts they sign are not worth the paper they are printed on..

03 Apr 2026 09:09:42
Thanks all for responses. Certainly some interesting ones there.
Just his name and pulling power alone is enough to justify a fee, even if his form isn't, and let's be honest, his season has only been bad by his own standards. He's still got 27 goals and assists in all appearances so far this season. If that was an English player, you'd be looking at £100M.


Personally, I'd have just said he's free to go where he chooses and just put a nominal figure out there that pretty much anyone could pay, even if it was just £10M. Anyone that could cover his wages could also cover that, and likely make it back in short sales anyway, so everyone would win.
Just seems very amateurish from the club.

03 Apr 2026 09:14:45
Salah's career has shown he is one of the top players to ever grace the PL.

One bad season does not decide that nobody will pay.

Yes, we won't get 80M, but that's more due to his age than his ability.



He goes to a slower league, and he'll be the "old" Mo again.
Class is permanent....

We could easily get 30m to 40m for him...

Maybe some serious questions should be asked about this decision.

04 Apr 2026 05:22:59
Perhaps it was just out of respect for everything he has done for the club. Maybe it's the exception that proves the rule and, for this particular player, not about finance from the club's point of view.

02 Apr 2026
New image uploaded to the
Liverpool Player Sightings page entitled, Wouldn't it be brilliant if, to replace Iran, FIFA appointed a manager to oversee this bunch of players who didn't qualify for the world cup? They could be the 'rest of the world'.

02 Apr 2026 09:19:09
No. I'm ecstatic that Kerkez and Szobo get the summer off. I'd be even happier if teams pulled out in protest and the whole thing was cancelled.

02 Apr 2026 09:35:53
I think it's a massive shame both our Hungarian full backs aren't going to the World Cup.

{Ed025's Note - i like that JK..

02 Apr 2026 14:45:54
Teams are not pulling out in protest.

02 Apr 2026 19:23:22
Pulled out in protest of what?

02 Apr 2026 19:19:04
Probably cause Trump would bomb them and then sanction them Ron.you get loose cannons and then you get Trump!!

03 Apr 2026 09:11:25
Because U.S leadership singlehandedly throwing the world into chaos on an annual basis is very annoying.

04 Apr 2026 05:27:35
Not sure "leadership" is the right word, @Westwood, more like random, ill thought out, half baked ideas from a self absorbed narcissist with a deranged God complex.

02 Apr 2026 08:01:53
Stevie G on The Overlap Podcast with Carra, Neville, Keane, Weighty, Jill Scott. Can be found on YouTube for free. Very interesting on his thoughts for this season and some great stories. Something to have on in the background if your busy today.

02 Apr 2026 09:42:55
Can't stand Neville. People keep calling out Carra, but Neville urggghhhhh.

02 Apr 2026 16:56:36
Cafu, they're both the same.

02 Apr 2026 07:58:37
Just my reopened worth in future signings.

The most important signings we can make is the coaching set up and back room staff. All signings player signings are irrelevant unless you have the right set up to improve them as individuals, and the whole squad.

I’d happily argue that Klopp and his team added value and increased the ceiling of virtually every player they had - granted a few exceptions, not just those they signed but those they retained from former squads.

I think that’s why I would want to see wholesale changes in the entire football set up.

Edwards and Hughes chose Slot, and either knew his family would stay in the Netherlands or didn’t do their homework, allowed him to choose the coaching set up, and have taken us under their watch to this dire way of playing.



Injecting new signings into this won’t work. We are all, I think, hoping for a new manager and coaches but we also need to restructure the whole playing side of things.

My worry is that unless this happens, we could again have those with little prior top flight experience of success (Hughes) heavily influencing our future direction.

To sum up a somewhat rambling post- the most important outs, and ins this summer, need to be made by those above Edwards, Hughes and Slot.

02 Apr 2026 09:24:09
First 3 out the door for me, but if I had to keep one just for consistency it would be Edwards only because he should have taken some knowledge from when Klopp was here. Get the stat man back too.

02 Apr 2026 11:35:00
Don't forget Ruben Peeters, lead physical performance coach, chap should be receiving a prison sentence.

01 Apr 2026 21:58:37
I really can't see Slot staying, with the vast majority of fans really not happy, and the team being booed off the pitch, the owners will have noted all that disquiet. Plus his refusal to use the academy will also feed into the feeling he isn't right for the club.

It may well be he thinks he will be at Liverpool next year and the club probaly haven't dispelled those thoughts but the writing is on the wall for him.

02 Apr 2026 04:36:11
Where did Ngumoha and Nyoni come from. Slot should have been gone a while back, but making stuff up and presenting it as fact doesn't add weight to the argument for getting rid of him.

02 Apr 2026 07:56:36
Ngumoha and Nyoni came from our youth teams as any proper fan knows.

{Ed001's Note - no they didn't, they came from Chelsea and Leicester's academies, nothing to do with ours.}

02 Apr 2026 08:51:37
Yes. But played in our u23s, for example.

02 Apr 2026 09:19:08
Klopp gave Nyoni his first team debut, not Slot.

02 Apr 2026 09:21:16
I must have imagined them playing in our u-18's.

02 Apr 2026 09:24:42
Alwaysred, when you say you don't see Slot staying, do you mean beyond this season? Or till the end of the season.

If the later is what you mean, then I see him staying till season's end. Been saying this for months esp. as soon as that window to sack him (9 losses in 12) passed.

02 Apr 2026 08:51:53
as a point of clarity Ed001. How long would a player need to be at your academy to say that they're a product of your academy?

{Ed001's Note - it is more than that. It is the fact that both of those were pretty much straight in and around the first team squad, which is why they chose us. You can't really sign a pro footballer and then claim you developed him through the academy, especially when the contract you sign them on promises they will be in and around the first team squad, rather than working in the academy.}

02 Apr 2026 13:13:14
Thanks for Clarity Ed, so a case by case nuance depending on e.g entry into first team, time at club, time at previous club?

{Ed001's Note - yes mate, life is never as simple as one size fits all, as it actually fits no one.}

02 Apr 2026 16:26:13
Yeh, but as far as the 1st team manager of a club is concerned, they're the two most promising academy or reserve players we have. He doesn't care how long they are at the club.

01 Apr 2026 20:11:59
Gotta say I'm watching slots tribute to Mo and I really don't get the impression that he's someone who's in the final weeks of his job! He looks to me like a man who's confident of his place in the club! It'll kill me if he starts next season as our manager.

02 Apr 2026 08:11:27
What if we win the CL and then Slot for the players he wants and changes the style so more attacking?

02 Apr 2026 09:25:06
He could attack now, but it's not his style.

02 Apr 2026 09:25:24
It's all posturing, imo. He's been doing that all season. Just wait and see.

02 Apr 2026 16:30:09
We certainly attack. Apparently, we create the most chances in the Premier League depending on where you read, but we are in the bottom 5 for converting them.

01 Apr 2026 18:36:54
Isak back in full training tomorrow.

01 Apr 2026 19:23:14
Ah, you almost had me, man, best April's Fools yet.

Fairplay, now that is creative.

01 Apr 2026 20:21:28
It was past 12 so Florian is the fool but with the way he has been sticking up for Slot it does not come as a surprise. 😜

01 Apr 2026 20:35:07
Slot said he's back but will still be a while before he can start games. Could be an option off the bench fairly soon though. Salah and Chiesa are back too, Ali still out, and Frimpong needs more assessment, but came off more as a precaution last night.

01 Apr 2026 20:40:11
Yay Isak is back. Hopefully it's Isak coming back and not Temu Origi. I'd take the OG Origi over whatever version of Isak we got before his injury :D

Florian - keep doing you, man. There are more than enough Slot haters on here, so it's nice to hear from the other perspective as well.

It's not going to change the outcome, so I kinda like that there is a dissenting voice amongst the masses. And that "dissent" is largely supportive and positive, lol who would've thought, aye!?

Let's go Isak. Bit of a Cisse-esque comeback I hope!!!

01 Apr 2026 20:48:04
Am I in some twilight zone reality here or sumting? 😆

01 Apr 2026 21:10:31
This is turning into the Florian Musiala Banter site.

01 Apr 2026 21:37:56
What if Slot keeps his job? There is plenty saying he will? Even the great John Barnes says keep him, he deserves next season. 🤔

01 Apr 2026 21:52:18
Does Slot want to stay?

I'm not convinced.

There will be a comprehensive review of all football operations.
It won't involve the opinion of ex-players regardless of how great they were.

He should have gone months ago, plain and simple. Nothing has changed in terms of the team's performances, and in fact, we are getting worse game by game. And as for Barnes, what do people want him to say? These ex legends always back the manager, for the most part, in public, so not surprised.



They were backing BR despite his nonsense, so I would take these ex player takes with a pinch of salt. They have No influence on what the club will do re: Slot. imo, if CL doesn't happen, Slot is outta here, and the ex players backing him will give their opinions and, eventually, get over it.

Fact is, unless someone much higher up pulls the trigger on a number of posts, Edwards and Hughes will want to keep their man.

Can't ever see FSG sacking Edwards.

ED001 or Ed025, if you're about n can remember, What was your opinion of Terry McDermott, I always felt he doesn't get enough credit for us or mentioned in the same breath as any of our golden era. scored some very important goals for us n won loads.

{Ed001's Note - I loved Terry Mac, though I only heard him on the radio in those days sadly. Never got to see him play live. I loved him because he won me a family sweep by being first scorer. I only won about a quid but it was enough to cement a place in my heart forever for Terry Mac!}

Before my time, but he seemed to have been a brilliant player and scored a lot of goals, including a few sensational goals.
Agree with Strom in that he doesn't seem to get enough credit, considering he was a mainstay in the team that dominated Europe at the time.

Seen Terry on many occasions, the goal that stands out for me is the one in the Anfield Rd end. Grob rolls the ball to Kenny, who hits it to Johnson on the centre circle. He hits down the left wing and Heighway crosses on the run. Terry Mac, from the top end, made the run into the Spurs box to head it in, pure poetry.

Yes Tc77, that was a great one.
I remember one he scored against Everton from the edge of the box. It was that good it became part of the opening for Match of the Day.

01 Apr 2026 20:51:26
Willo, is that the goal where he chipped the keeper from the edge of the box with his left foot?

01 Apr 2026 23:13:06
Was Clem in goal though. Not Grob.

ED001 I remember him playing, my Dad had started taking me the games in the 70s wh3n i was a kid n he was the one my Dad always praised, his goal in the European cup against monchingladback, ( spelling), the Spurs one in the 7-nil n the one about the blue noses in the semi final of the FA cup, lil chip from outside the box.be worth a fortune now, he was overlooked many times by England for some reason

Terry Mac was a great player, never stopped running, gave everything.

02 Apr 2026 04:42:35
@Strom, Spot on - a great player who played in a team of great players. I think he was underrated in his time at the club, as there were so many other superb players in the team at the time and he'd definitely be worth a fortune these days.

I remember the Monchengladbach keeper (copied and pasted the spelling!) thon night... The best goalkeeping display I've ever seen, Alison away to PSG, comes close.
Brilliant days. What a side we had in those days! Some great footballers. And some proper hard men!!

02 Apr 2026 09:04:03
Yes @Digger10, that's the one!
