Liverpool banter 5

Do we have a buyback on Kelleher and if not why the b***** hell didn’t we. I so wanted Marmadashvili to be the one but nevermind being a million miles away from Allison he’s unfortunately just not good enough. He is at times a very good shot stopper. He made a brilliant save at 1 stage last night, but only because he caused their opportunity to happen. He had a very simple catch but opted to punch & they ended up with a shot from it (which, as I said, he made a good save from).

No point in going on about his distribution, both out of his hands and with his feet, as everyone can see it’s just nowhere close to Ali, but then again he spoiled us for years; it’s just how injury prone he has become that’s sadly become a massive massive problem.

You do realise Alisson is staying until the end of next season. Jaros is a good GK as well as Pesci.

16 Apr 2026 03:45:23
None of anything is this guy's fault, fella... Dig a bit deeper is what I've done.

16 Apr 2026 07:50:44
Yeeah I would sell Marma and bleed through the other two younger keepers. In the little I have seen of Jaros, I think he has a high ceiling.

15 Apr 2026 22:10:55
Should not laugh at Real Madrid being knocked out. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂

15 Apr 2026 23:30:18
Yes we should. 😁

15 Apr 2026 23:41:37
We are in no position to laugh at any club.

16 Apr 2026 06:16:49
Fk is right. We are W3 D1 L6 in our last 10 games. Absolute s***cakes.

16 Apr 2026 07:08:34
Remember the good old days when we used to track our great unbeaten run (good old days of earlier in this season).

I miss those posts... unbeaten in 10, unbeaten in 12... etc. (no need to mention that of those unbeaten games, most were draws).

So, 6 left in the season... let's aim for another unbeaten streak. 💪

16 Apr 2026 07:36:15
Ah, you see Frode, that's missing out on one of the great joys with football. No matter how bad things go with your team, there will always be somebody else you can laugh at.

16 Apr 2026 09:23:50
Thank God for that, Wassa!!! 🤣 🙄... Hopefully we'll be laughing again on Sunday!!

16 Apr 2026 09:29:37
What little joy there is to be had this season, seeing Madrid failing is one of those lovely moments of schadenfreude. Mbappe really does have the faecal touch. Left PSG for them to become European champions, joins Madrid and they've not won a trophy in two years. Beautiful. As for Arnold Rat, how's that Balon D'or coming on? Does it mean more yet? And, as a side note, anyone seriously suggesting we look at signing Camavinga, just look at his brain dead sending off.

Completely needless and helped his own side to lose the match. Bloke is as thick as he is injury prone. Hard pass.

16 Apr 2026 09:35:18
Love it VV!

16 Apr 2026 09:38:02
I'd still have Trent back in the morning though. Not under Slot but certainly under XA. We went from him to Frimpong. Make your own comparisons to that one.

16 Apr 2026 09:53:27
Imagine wanting a player that wants to be somewhere else. Trent wanted to leave, and most likely for the lifestyle. Have more self respect for this club. I want players that want to be here. He planned his "dream move" years ago, and there are fans still pining for him back.

16 Apr 2026 10:41:06
I'm not pining for him back, Ron. I just believe that he is a good football player and one of the best passers of the ball I've ever seen. We've already gone through the pro and anti Trent arguments last year and I have zero interest in revisiting that one.

All I am doing is making a comparison and expressing my wish that he had stayed rather than gone, which was his prerogative to make after serving this club in one of our greatest ever teams with distinction.

16 Apr 2026 17:21:40
Fun fact. Arnold Rat is an anagram of 80's annoying puppet Roland Rat.

15 Apr 2026 22:07:42
Great finish to the Bayern/Real match, but what a vile club with vile players Madrid really is. Guller runs from the bench at the final whistle to confront and shout at the ref, gets a deserved red card for his penance. Vinicus Junior, what a self entitled little p###k of a human being. Delighted for him. What I will say in his defence is that Mbappe is gracious in defeat, same can't be said for most of his team mates.

Personally I'm delighted Bayern won it in the end with goals from Lucio and Olisie to wrap it up. Hope they win the whole thing out, best attacking team in Europe, but there will be nothing between them and PSG over 2 legs.

{Ed025's Note - what a game that promises to be Zippy..

15 Apr 2026 22:31:30
...And en ers Arsenal. The killers of football.....

15 Apr 2026 21:59:53
Isn't it great to see those nobs go out of the CL. Love it.

15 Apr 2026 22:19:14
Of course, but watching the two teams, you need top attacking wing players to be exciting and successful. We've zero. Rio's raw, and has plenty of time, but we need two top wingers on each side next season.

15 Apr 2026 22:27:35
Saying that all season.

15 Apr 2026 23:27:02
Agreed, Ron, bewilders me how many people on here don't think bringing in 2 wingers is a priority.

15 Apr 2026 23:53:28
Moreso now with Salah gone, and Ekitike out for almost a year. Definitely need investment in wide areas.... we will probably end up with one and then get two injuries to the forwards!
If Isak is to be the main man, then u need to service him from wide and midfield.

That's the blueprint... fingers crossed he can get sharp and stay fit.
A defensive minded midfielder, Szob move to cm mostly, and Wirtz must improve at 10. Physically and end product wise, he must elevate his game, which I do believe he's capable of.

16 Apr 2026 07:59:02
I have been saying this all season. We need to get back to 4-3-3. Isak/Ekitike to lead the line, fast, direct paced wingers who like to take on players. Wirtz in the no. 10, then hopefully Anderson and Szobzlai providing the legs/engine in cm.

You cannot play on the front foot without pace in the forward areas.

This will also benefit Wirtz, who can feed the front 3. Furthermore, it will help the rest of the team, as each player will know their role, whereas we are changing formations and tactics regularly, with players' roles changing from game to game. No wonder why it's a sham.

15 Apr 2026 21:57:18
We're all celebrating Bayern winning.
Look at Madrid's antics even after the game.
Can we get in a head coach that can get us playing quality football again?

15 Apr 2026 21:31:09
Long time reader of this site, love seeing everyone's opinions but this is my first time posting.
{Ed's Note - The Chicken Staff has posted a new article entitled, Liverpool’s Recruitment Myths Under the Microscope

15 Apr 2026 20:51:29
Munich v Madrid!! What a game of football!!

15 Apr 2026 21:31:52
100% mate, just shows you how far away we actually are from challenging the likes of either of them or PS.

15 Apr 2026 21:37:21
Quality game in fairness.

15 Apr 2026 21:42:30
Or PSG that should have read bloody typo.

15 Apr 2026 22:00:57
Bayern were the far better side. Neur had a nightmare, but the better team won.

15 Apr 2026 22:13:42
Zippy, we beat Madrid, mate, so we are not that far away from them. PSG, yes, we are well off them. YNWA

15 Apr 2026 22:20:49
Wolves also beat us and are about to be relegated. They mustn't be far off us.

{Ed025's Note - good point JK..

15 Apr 2026 22:23:37
I know we beat Madrid 1 nil, mate, but league phase counts for f*** all. You try and tell me that we'd have beaten them over 2 legs of a Q/F, different story with them when it's at the business end of things, mate. Tell me I'm wrong.

15 Apr 2026 22:34:11
LOL JK! 🤣

15 Apr 2026 23:26:36
Southampton beat Arsenal so they mustn't be far off them.

Or perhaps one game doesn't mean all that much...

15 Apr 2026 20:47:21
Hate to say it but I do think Slot will be our manager next season! This is how dynasties die. I think Slot is doing what Souness did to our club in the early 90s! Buying s*** and selling good.

By the time we get rid of this clown we'll be 5 years behind again. So I think we should all adjust our expectations for the future of our club.

15 Apr 2026 21:27:24
I think Slot deserves to stay.

We are only 19 points off being top of the league and were only 5 goals away from being in a CL semi and FA Cup semi.

Fine margins.

15 Apr 2026 22:16:45
Diaz brilliant tonight, I think we miss him more than the club would say. Olise would suit us down to the ground. YNWA.

15 Apr 2026 22:50:04
Let's not forget, we can still win the league. Despite the odd blip this season, we still remain in contention. 18 pts behind, 18 pts to play for. Still possible.

Just one more sip of Jack Daniels before I retire to bed.

16 Apr 2026 07:14:10
Also, we are now officially mathematically safe from being relegated... so progress being made.

And still title contenders with 6 games to go...

What a season so far. 👏

15 Apr 2026 20:45:42
Not LFC related but anyone watching Bayern vs Madrid wot a game.
