Not just after this weeks games, but I’m double wounded for our injuries last season I reckon we’d have trounced this league.

We will do it this season.

Allison, Fabinho and Firmino to miss the Utd game after the international break. Quarantine.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

15 Aug 2021 17:00:51
Is this serious?

Agree3 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 17:01:05
Isn't it only the Leeds game? If they came back to England straight away they could realistically play a part.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 17:04:30
Dont have to quarantine if double jabbed after tomorrow.

Agree10 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 17:05:15
Apparently so. Not good if it does turn out to be true.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 17:40:45
Pretty sure that Brazil is red listed, so they’d have to quarantine. Can’t even refuse to send them, thanks to FIFA. The thought of to Old Toilet without Alisson and Fabinho fills me with dread.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - that’s why we bought Sanchez…oh wait 😱😢

15 Aug 2021 17:43:36
Is that true jkh1983?

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 17:58:31
They will not be allowed to attend their internationals under FIFA C.V. rules so it will not be an issue. Jota will be alright because Portugal has switched their game to Italy but we have 4 other players impacted, including Naby playing in Guinea. Arsenal has 4 players impacted, City has 5, Tottenham has 4 and Everton has 5. I think most bosses will take the FIFA C.V. Rules option to not allow their players to go.

Agree5 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 18:00:09
Yes but it is for amber listed and those pinged. can't see it being allowed that we can be expected to be without 3 starting players due to this there will be changes even it that means a rescheduled date for the match.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 18:04:17
And even worse news is that they will be w/ o Fred!

Agree5 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 18:11:27
Thanks lads.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 17:58:35
Ed0666, Sanches have been injured anyway…oh wait!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - yes I know I was being ironic.

15 Aug 2021 18:30:51
Reynard, FIFA have changed the rules apparently. So clubs can’t withhold players attending.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 19:05:28
VVVV - That's outrageous! It shouldn't be changed before the end of this year. If this is correct then I'd get a ruling from the government here to see if professional international players can receive a quarantine exemption based upon daily testing for the same period.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 17:22:25
Is this correct Ed’s?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Players returning from Red List countries have to follow the guidance of the country they are returning to. Right now it would be yes.}

15 Aug 2021 17:22:25
Is this correct Ed’s?

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 20:33:40
Scrap international games. Answer right there. Love final tournament football. Can live without it if damages bread and butter club football.

Agree5 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 20:39:18
Absolutely hate intl football leagues only starting back and we’ve this carry on.

Agree5 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 21:10:40
All of them can’t get in the Brazilian team. I am sure there is a way not to send them.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 23:18:07
Suppose the players want to go?

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Aug 2021 08:12:24
We always seem to play them lot after an international break!

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Aug 2021 12:43:13
Should we scrap the Champions League and world super cup? Or does that not count as international football?

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Aug 2021 22:21:55
Surely there should be a caveat in the FIFA rules for this very scenario, why should club teams who pay the players wages be missing players for important games because of international games in the midst of a C.V., it’s ludicrous!

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Aug 2021 06:43:43
Just play the internationals on FIFA 21. Or Zoom. Or not att all.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 14:51:42
With the news of Davies leaving on loan, what’s going to happen to Rhys Williams, is it still the plan to loan him out?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - I would think so - he would be way down the list of CBs for Liverpool.}

15 Aug 2021 16:06:02
Thanks Ed! Anyone registered interest?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - A loan seems likely. I am only aware of a tentative approach of Preston but there will be no shortage of interest should the club make him available.}

15 Aug 2021 22:32:33
I think it’ll be a great step up to do a full season in the championship. Think it’s a little too early for a prem loan.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 12:49:45
hi eds, any interest from liverpool in todd cantwell?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Not for a long time.}

15 Aug 2021 16:21:00
Thank god!

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - can you imagine dodging Sanchez and buying cantwell. I think this site would go into meltdown overdrive 😂

15 Aug 2021 17:06:37
I don't mind the lad he's ok and does a job for norwich but everytime his names comes up on this site for LFC its like come on lads really he's not even close to lfc level that's not a disrespect to him its just the level we are.

Can you imagine taking off a Mane or Salah to bring on Cantwell.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 17:48:42
I like Cantwell: he would make a good rotation player who can cover midfield and the wings. But he is not really a player we need right now when you consider we have Elliott, Thiago, Keita, Ox, Minamino and Jones. He wouldn't really offer anything new.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 22:46:04
Babbity: your last sentence, less the "new" 👌 I'd rather avoid Jimmy Bullard mk2 👍.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 22:43:57
Ed666 it begins. 😅.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - oh stop it young man 😂

16 Aug 2021 14:20:42
jkh1983 why would cantwell (midfielder) come on for salah/ mane?

Remind me what top teams robertson, virgil, wijnaldum, mane came from.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 11:36:40
Sarr looked lively yesterday ed1. Any interest still or has it gone? Last couple of posts not gone through for some reason. Hope you are well. Cheers.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - no idea, I am too doing articles to get into chasing up transfer info these days. The abuse it attracted has made it not worth my time to get involved.}

15 Aug 2021 12:12:42
If we sold Mane, I think Sarr would be a very decent replacement.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 14:35:26
Think saint - maximum from Newcastle would be better option.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - But Liverpool has no interest in him.}

15 Aug 2021 15:08:11
I know Ed’s just my opinion think he’s quality.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 15:17:11
Big fan of Saint Maximin. Absolute wildcard 😂.

Agree3 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 15:21:28
Ed001 and 002, I don't understand the abuse you get especially regarding transfers. Do people understand that you have nothing to do with the transfer business of the club and that you are just passing on information as you are aware? I know of several people who stopped posting on the site because of the abuse. It isn't banter, it's abuse, there is a difference and some people don't understand that. Ed025 is the king of banter btw.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It has been fine recently thanks. And to answer the Sarr question, there will still be interest as there is in Adama Traore.}

15 Aug 2021 15:32:12
Sorry, should have been more specific in my post, it was in response to Ed001 regarding the abuse about transfers.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - cheers stone, it does seem some people don't understand or maybe they just don't care and want an excuse to be dicks?}

15 Aug 2021 15:54:53
Ed002 just to ask on the above 2 players mentioned in Sarr and Traore is it possible one could arrive without the likes of Mane or Salah leaving? I only as as I thought this was the case.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 16:11:28
If you're a fan of the likes of Saint Maximin and Traoré, then it would make sense for us to go for Doku. Same type of player (blazing speed and dribbling) with very little end product. Only difference being Doku is only 19, and could be coached into adding an end product over a couple of years. But do you risk 40-50 million over that (end product) ever happening?

Agree3 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 16:40:23
He does look fire.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 18:30:49
I think Saint Maximin is underrated regards to end product ArAy. Yes he he’s lightning quick and tricky and he can be frustrating but he seems to have a better end product than people give him credit for.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 18:38:38
Sarr does have end product, that’s definitely evident. He’s got composure and knows to be in the right place at tge right time, he does look a little awkward, but that’s because he’s quite tall for a winger (he’s got to get 6’1”/ 6’2”), but he’s physically imposing, quick and does have end product. He’d be a good signing.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - I like Sarr also not sure if he can be nurtured into a top player. Personally I feel he’s lacks, composure, technique but that doesn't mean it can’t be taught. If it was a choice between Adama & Sarr it would be Sarr as I feel his ceiling is higher.

16 Aug 2021 10:42:07
Regarding players without end product I remember when cristiano ronaldo only had tricks and pace with no end product. Amazing what some good coaching and the right attitude can do. I do think whoever Liverpool sign under klopp there’s always a plan and a reason. We’ve not panic bought a ballotelli or an Andy Carroll. Even Karius helped the team to a champions league final. We’ve also had decent players like klavan to temporarily fill in. Worst signing in klopp era Caulker. So I trust klopp to get the best out of his players. Hoping keita gets a good run of games this season there’s a good player in there if he can stay fit. Hope ox can stay fit too. Ed001 people are dicks mate that’s just a fact.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - true ub you make a good point.}

16 Aug 2021 08:24:14
That’s not fair 666, just because Adama has a two bedroom cottage in Tettenhall as apposed to Sarr’s Victorian 2 up two down in Bushey Heath, doesn’t mean the earlier can’t be nurtured to equal Sarr.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - 😂

15 Aug 2021 10:17:43
Does the fact that Sanchez needs surgery end any hopes of signing him Ed002? I'm assuming that is the case. Probably means we're not signing anyone I would think.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Yes if he needs surgery that would end interest.}

15 Aug 2021 18:44:57
Ed02, are Liverpool still trying to sign someone or they sticking with what we have as they can’t find the funds through selling.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It depends on sales.}

15 Aug 2021 09:20:57
Sarr from Watford looked lively yesterday. Do we still hold an interest eds?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Yes, the problem last year was Watford wanted cash for Sarr and Wolves wanted cash for Traore so Liverpool ended up with Jota on spread payments.}

15 Aug 2021 12:51:06
wouldnt AFCON kill any interest from liverpool.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 13:40:57
Do you think we may try and get him this window ed2? Thanks 4 reply as always.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I think it unlikely that Liverpool will look to Sarr.}

15 Aug 2021 08:58:04
Hi Ed002, seen some rumours, of aurelien tchouameni of Monaco. Do you think he could be a player on Liverpools radar?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - No Davey - unless Fabinho is leaving.}

15 Aug 2021 08:41:23
Hey Ed's and reds
Is Ismailia sarr still of interest to the club
I read he was close to a move to us before jota joined last summer has the interest gone since then or is he one to watch for this or maybe next summer?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Ismaila Sarr (RW/LW/F) is possibly available regardless of Watford being promoted. Wolves have enquired after him - wanting to be kept informed just in case Adama Traore is sold. Crystal Palace have him on their list of potential Wilfried Zaha replacements, but he is not their first choice, although they could turn to him if their first-choice heads elsewhere (which he will). Liverpool are interested inasmuch as he is another player like Adama Traore that Klopp has had his tongue down the throat of, but whilst he would make a good replacement for Shaqiri consideration would need to be given to (a) would Sarr want to limit his playing time to that which Shaqiri gets, (b) he is not Home Grown, (c) he would block Harvey Elliott's progression, (d) he would cost £30M or thereabouts, and (e) like many players asked about, would depart for AFCON when it happens as he is Senegalese. I am not aware of any approach to Watford by Liverpool but they have spoken with his agent. If Mane or Salah were to leave Liverpool, it makes a great deal more sense and would provide the funding.}

15 Aug 2021 13:10:35
Cheers for the detailed response .
The lad looks a talented boy one to watch I suspect.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 08:33:19
Reports of renato sanches needing surgery so looks like that rules out a move to us wish the lad a good recovery I thought he could of made a decent player within the squad .
Seems more likely we stick with what we've got for the upcoming season

Let's have it.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

15 Aug 2021 09:07:31
where are these reports coming from can't seem to see them. If so hope the lad recovers fast but if true helped us miss a bullet.

Agree2 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 09:23:36
Neil Jones reporting from a lequipe article I think saying knee surgery it’s his meniscus.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 09:47:32
I hope we go for Florian Neuhaus. The second unit of our midfield that played yesterday needs the help.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 10:17:10
Personally I would focus on origi and shaw out and a forward in. Henderson and Thiago didn’t feature yesterday and neither did Jones. Still had 5 players get mins in the midfield 3. Not a priority for me.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 10:18:45
The lad gets injured tying his shoelaces up, bullet dodged.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 10:57:07
With Sanches injured who is the realistic midfield target now then?

Saul? Bissouma? Neuhaus? Or absolutely no one?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i would say the fourth one..

15 Aug 2021 11:07:34
Good question MonkeyMad. Woodburn and Elliott maybe? That'll send the site into disarray 😂.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 11:12:01
The midfield does need a dressing but we’ve seen the club doesn’t just buy anyone they waits for the right type of player/ certain player.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2021 14:05:15
Has Ben Woodburns preseason made him a realistic option in Klopps eyes or will he be sold?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Ben Woodman (S) Championship fodder. Sheffield Wednesday and probably others have a declared interest in taking him on loan. Apparently Olympiakos would be open to a loan.}

15 Aug 2021 16:03:56
Thanks Ed, hopefully the lad moves on then to kick start his career.

Agree0 Disagree0
