Liverpool rumours 6

25 Jan 2026 13:17:16
Hi all,

Called around today and wanted to get a better understanding if the Slot situation has changed in regard to seeing out the season.

Things at the club have reached an absolute boiling point, and as per Carra said the club is on an information lockdown at the moment at least at the very top level. However, there's nothing that can stop an agent from gossiping.

Now, I'm not making promises here by any stretch but I'm willing to say with a certain degree of confidence that Xabi Alonso will be the Liverpool head coach before the season finishes.

25 Jan 2026 13:46:29
A win on Wednesday would be a fitting farewell, for better or worse with Alonso waiting in the wings a change seems the best option.

25 Jan 2026 13:48:46
Hopefully sooner rather than later mate, ta.

25 Jan 2026 13:51:26
@eds - Do you believe the players are not on board with what Slot is trying to do and he has lost them?
I get it may be obvious to some but i'm not sure what to think, we're a mess from Edwards, down. Some even say Slot doesn't want to be there.

{Ed001's Note - not so much lost them as not got them invested in what he wants to do. He does not have the charisma.}

25 Jan 2026 13:58:31
We have now lost more games this season than the whole of the last. It hasn't worked out.

25 Jan 2026 14:03:32
hopefully u are right we can't miss out on champions league next year and I am sure u would see a happier team on the pitch.

25 Jan 2026 14:20:36
With the Alonso news hitting the press, the club has really messed it up.

1. If he doesn't leave now, the whole club looks like that they don't care about the results and will maybe set us back for years to come.
2. Slot has been handed an excuse; the club didn't support me.
3. The players are waiting for the change and have no reason to trust the head coach.

How the he** did they mess this up so horrendous.

25 Jan 2026 14:25:59
It's a tough job Ed!
Coach holds the flack for everything unfortunately! Players need to hang their heads in shame. They have been horrendous this season.
Slot just cannot get a tune out of them though. He's been terrible this season, seems to have lost everything that worked last year.

We are really lacking individual quality and a bit of pace too.
Massive clear out needed in the summer with some quality coming in.
Hopefully, with Alonso at the helm. Within the week! 🤞.

25 Jan 2026 14:37:59
We have 3 home games in a row. if there was a tine to change now would be great. . home comforts. power of anfield. both for our players and the opposition.

Surely now the risk of sticking with Slot outweighs getting in Alonso/ interim.

Even the spreadsheet surfers numbers should be seeing that.

25 Jan 2026 14:41:45
Personally, I think Alonso needs to convince Hughes (and Edwards) that he's a better choice than Iraola.

I think Hughes likes Iraola - they have a working relationship and he has premier league managerial experience.

I think that's the hold up, choose between Alonso soon or Iraola at the end of the season.

That's why the preference is to make the choice at the end of the season.

25 Jan 2026 15:27:51
Alonso was 1st choice before Slot.

Not sure Iraola has done anything to leap frog Alonso to be 1st choice now

But I think any one of those 2 would be a good choice.

The million dollar question is when.

25 Jan 2026 15:28:01
Watching the game yesterday, I could certainly see the players are not invested in the tactics - it seemed quite clear in their demeanour generally and lacked belief - they almost looked bored / sick of it.

Ed01 said lack of charisma by Slot, agree on that and saw Slot said team to blame, injuries, wind and fixtures - I mean honestly, no words unless taken out of context (didn't hang around for post match interviews - understandably).

Come on, it's time.

25 Jan 2026 18:09:57
"Alonso needs to convince them he's a better choice than Iraola"

Well, we have heard it all now. Like Liverpol haven't paid top dollar for Wirtz, who casually thrived under Alonso. Not to mention Xabi was their first choice originally, his conection with fans, having Frimpong/ maraunding full backs in the books, ect.

Some posters here are just unbelievable. can't defend the baldie fraud anymore, but happy to go against all common sense just because.

25 Jan 2026 18:23:48
Ron Keague - Sorry but that's delusional mate, everyone knows Alonso always was and still is the clubs first choice. What exactly has Iraola achieved? Noting. There's no chance he's being considered over Alonso. Edward doesn't get final say on appointing a manager anyway, and the way things have gone he should be the first out the door come June.

25 Jan 2026 18:50:12
I'm not sure Alonso needs to convince Richard Hughes of anything, that's a joke surely. Richard Hughes and Edwards need to convince Alonso why he should join us.

Set aside the club connection for a minute look at the squad, huge holes in it. Alonso is surely a good coach, but he can't be successful without centre backs and wingers. If I was him I'd want assurances about that before joining us. I'd also be asking the what if question, if we don't qualify for the CL what does that mean for the summer rebuild.

25 Jan 2026 19:24:07
We're talking about unemployed Xabi Alonso recently sacked by Real Madrid right? Never managed in the premier league. He couldn't manage or engage or convince superstar players.

Whereas Iraola is employed in the premier league and has made chicken chasseur out of chicken sh*t at Bournemouth. And Iraola has previously been headhunted by Richard Hughes.

I'm not sure which one is the best choice but it not as clear cut as some seem to think.

Maybe open your minds and look at the manger, not the ex-player?

25 Jan 2026 20:24:12
I mean he did win the Bundesliga Ron, a league which Bayern have won 13 out of the last 14 years. Possibly a tick in the plus column?

25 Jan 2026 22:28:29
Sorry Ron but Xabi had a 70% win ratio at Real and we are talking about a club who boycotted awards ceremonies as one of their players wasn't going to win it. Not what I would call a fair test environment. I'm not saying Xabi will get the job or if slot will even go. I like Iraola, but you can't judge Xabi on Real.

25 Jan 2026 23:57:14
I absolutely do judge XA on Real and on the fact he turned us down once before and then jumped at the chance to go to Real.

Shows a distinct lack of judgement in my book.

26 Jan 2026 08:45:00
How would people react if Alonso replaced Slot now and things didn't improve?
Pitchforks?

25 Jan 2026 12:20:22
Seeing sky news now discussing van de ven swap for robbo? Does this have any substance ed?

Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - I dont know sorry.}

25 Jan 2026 14:14:04
Hope not.

25 Jan 2026 16:04:18
Couldn't shell out a record fee given his injury record. He's very quick and physical which is what we want, but his hamstrings are a problem.

25 Jan 2026 19:52:44
If it was a swap I'd take it for sure.

25 Jan 2026 21:37:34
Good Heavens Irish Rover?

I "FULLY" agree with you for once?

Amorim was the "Man" not Carrick?

All Amorim's signings scored the goals today Mbeumo, Cunha, Dorgu was also his first ever Signing for man utd!

26 Jan 2026 06:05:00
When was the last time you saw a swap deal?

It ain't happening.

25 Jan 2026 12:57:47
I had a conversation with a club legend yesterday, still works for the club. He told me the club has been a mess since Klopp left. There has been a lot of broken promises and second guessing going on behind the scenes. They don't like Edwards or the STC, apparently they are rather cold towards him. Which I find astonishing, considering who he is.

Anyway, he seems to think Slot is on borrowed time, not just down to his incompetence this season but with those who should be helping him out as well. He didn't get what he was promised in the summer and has been hung out to dry by the lack of activity this window.

There is nothing concrete to go off at the moment in regards to him staying or going. That to me says something is going on and its not beyond the realms of possibility Slot doesn't see out the season.

25 Jan 2026 13:07:23
Forget seeing out the season, he shouldn't see out the weekend.

25 Jan 2026 13:15:21
What's the STC? Sorry if that's a very silly question I've seen it wrote a few times and don't know.

25 Jan 2026 13:17:54
Thanks, fields.

25 Jan 2026 13:24:36
It wouldn't surprise me if there's a cold feeling about the place. We replaced the Big Smiles and Big Hugs with technocrats.

25 Jan 2026 13:29:12
Silver tongue charlatan. aka hughes.

25 Jan 2026 13:32:27
Speaking as a fan SK, I fully agree. I've had enough of him and his excuses.

Red, the STC is the Silver Tounged Charlatan aka Hughes.

25 Jan 2026 13:37:24
Thanks fields.

Cold towards them?. that's pretty much where the club is isn't it. run by analysts on spreadsheets loving statistics.

Have zero time for what's happening on the field or in the stands. we had 80% possession and passed 759 times. yay we are amazing. actually watch the game.!

Zero character or connection to anything other than numbers.

25 Jan 2026 13:38:13
Hughes the Silver Tongued Charlatan.

25 Jan 2026 13:54:24
Thanks Thefields, much appreciated.

25 Jan 2026 13:55:33
Thanks TheFields.

If he is being hung out to dry. then van that indicate that Edwards and STC possibly get the boot as well?

If they look over Slot, who looks over them?

25 Jan 2026 14:26:46
Thanks lads.

25 Jan 2026 14:38:21
Personally, I'd use another C word for Hughes. Any talk of STC leaving as well?

25 Jan 2026 14:45:32
Pretty much MightyRed but you would expect them to not be like that when they sit in the mans stand.

JLC, I suspect the STC more so than Edwards will be under pressure.

25 Jan 2026 15:04:05
Cheers Thefields for your updates.

25 Jan 2026 15:17:08
Aren't they close friends though TheFields?
Ed1 has constantly reminded us of how Klopp did not get on with Edward's, and we are seeing why that was the case.

From what has been posted on this forum, LFC could be better off without Edward's, Hughes and Slot

Appreciate the time you take out to respond to some of the posts.

25 Jan 2026 16:10:50
It's a shame if the legends don't feel as valued, but I also remember times when we were super nice as a club but were better at that than winning trophies. Think Roy Evan's era as an example.

The main issue now is what goes on on the pitch and on the training ground, unless that changes for the better no one will feel good about the vibe at the club.

25 Jan 2026 18:14:24
I said this on another post that Edwards is a fraud and shown up for who he is now Klopp has left.
We should be pulling out blind to get klopp back as director of football.

25 Jan 2026 19:05:44
Klopp as DOF. now that's interesting.
Good shout that Bazzinga.

25 Jan 2026 12:31:15
The news about Alonso is on the headlines everywhere now. Also that he wants the job. If Hughes and Edwards don't act now, I believe they will also be gone in the summer. Disgraceful to let this parody go on.

25 Jan 2026 13:01:21
We waited to sign Semenyo and Guehi and that worked out well didn't it…?

25 Jan 2026 11:00:50
Morning Gents,

Nothing has changed in regards to slot being sacked, Plan still remains the same, new manager in the summer.

25 Jan 2026 11:53:16
Hope your wrong this time Robbo we are sleepwalking to no European football next season at this rate.

25 Jan 2026 11:56:17
I think that might backfire :/ i don't think we are winning the CL, we can't win in the league vs some of the absolute worst teams out there. I predict a 6th place finish getting knocked out in the CL's quarter final at best with our form, injuries and fitness. He needs replacing yesterday.

25 Jan 2026 11:56:45
Shocking how much longer can this go on playing terrible football we are a laughing stock.

25 Jan 2026 12:03:01
The bearer of bad news. Thanks Robbo.

25 Jan 2026 12:09:23
Id rather Stevie Me than Slot for the rest of the season. He will connect more with the players at least.

25 Jan 2026 12:09:46
If we don't qualify for the CL next season off the back of winning a title and spending what we spent in the summer then more than one head needs roll.

The owners, Billy Hogan (CEO) and his CFO should be asking the sporting hierarchy (Edwards and Hughes) what actions they are taking to secure CL qualification right now.

25 Jan 2026 12:31:10
Mid-table mediocrity here we come.

25 Jan 2026 13:01:39
Hardly surprising. Last night was No different than anything been served up in the months gone by

Carbon copy of Fulham away. 4th Jan
Carbon copy of Leeds away. 6th Dec
Carbon copy of Chelsea away. 4th Oct

Should've been sacked ages ago.

25 Jan 2026 13:26:42
We may win Champions league and finish outside top4, next season we can still UCL football.

25 Jan 2026 13:58:41
Win the CL.
All our opponent has to do is setup with a low block and we're done.
And we'll have to hope that its not a windy evening, or the that the other team have players that can run for 90 plus minutes.

Look, I keep joking about winning the CL. but id rather us try and qualify by obtaining top 4 than trying to win the CL.

25 Jan 2026 15:10:20
Honestly at this point I wouldn't mind Hodgson back. At least we would be able to defend better. Before anyone jumps on me, it's a joke. Or is it? 😃.

25 Jan 2026 10:52:28
Hello all,

Getting nothing back from my people, the club is on a a full scale lock down with info right now.

Only Edwards, Hughes, the owners and Slot know what's going on right now.

That normally means only one thing, we will see.

Sorry I can't be a of anymore help.

Ta.

25 Jan 2026 11:53:16
Thanks for the update Carra.

25 Jan 2026 11:59:08
Cheers, Carra.

Honestly, if Hughes (and even Edwards) is not also feeling the heat, I would be disappointed.

While I think Slot's time is up, half of the reason is down to the recruitment.

In 6 years, we have now written off 3 seasons due to taking unnecessary risks on the squad management (20/ 21, 22/ 23 and now 25/ 26).

25 Jan 2026 12:00:50
Cheers carra, sounds like it's coming to an end for slot. Thanks for last season but time to move on.

25 Jan 2026 12:32:09
Thanks for the update Carra 👍.

25 Jan 2026 12:49:31
Carra have you heard anything about Salah going to Neom SC in the summer? Apparently a few companies that Salah is connected to are looking at buying sites and properties in that area. It could just be business but it could also be an indicator of him planning a move.

25 Jan 2026 12:50:36
Am not sure they have got the balls to sack him and that says everything. Hughes and Edwards are clearly not the right people to take us forward. We are in trouble and we are relying on the two who decided that not signing Guehi and Semenyo was a good idea.

25 Jan 2026 13:11:42
It means nothing is happening and Slot will be in charge until the very last moment possible.

25 Jan 2026 13:20:59
Thanks, Carra.

25 Jan 2026 13:29:25
Thanks Carra, any update is worth having.

25 Jan 2026 13:37:00
Cheers Carra for update always looking for your updates.

25 Jan 2026 10:45:58
The 'Reds' have already contacted the entourage of the Tolosa native to find out if he's available.
@jfelixdiaz, Editorial Director of
@diarioas, tells you everything.

From Twitter. The official Liverpool page also follows them.

Make of it what you want.

25 Jan 2026 11:59:42
Tolosa native? What does that mean?

25 Jan 2026 12:06:06
It's where he was born.

25 Jan 2026 12:06:14
I still think that's for the summer given what carra and robbo say on here.
Crazy situation though. Have we really only won 4 of the last 18?

25 Jan 2026 12:10:04
Just say Alonso,.

25 Jan 2026 13:34:41
Someone mentioned the other day his reps were putting feelers out about properties. I can confirm that is correct but means nothing at the moment.

25 Jan 2026 08:53:26
Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes are leading Liverpool FC's football operations.

Our sources say they are fully aware of the crisis at LFC and plans are being put in place to stop the rot. A short-term plan is being discussed this morning.

25 Jan 2026 09:19:13
They are part of the problem.

Mismanagement starts at the top. Slot should have gone after PSV / Forest. A deal for a starting CH should have been ready on Jan 1st. We have needed a class DM since Fabinho left in 2023.

All of these things fall on the people leading the football operations.

25 Jan 2026 09:23:05
Copy/ paste from Indykaila. They'd be fools to not be aware of any crisis, oh hang on.

25 Jan 2026 09:23:16
everytime i see your name i miss our rodeo clown more.

25 Jan 2026 09:28:59
The rot started 10 months ago.

25 Jan 2026 09:39:33
A short term plan. what's that, not play for a few days and hope it's okay?

25 Jan 2026 09:50:08
Indykalia or whatever their name is cut and paste.

25 Jan 2026 10:24:33
Some detectives on here. Of course its cut and pasted. Its a rumours site and im passing on a rumour.

Thanks for your positive input Frode and Willo

Feel free to support the rumours page. I'll await patiently to see both of you supplying information.

25 Jan 2026 10:33:21
Short term? I'll give them a plan starts with centre backs and a proper cdm!
1 cb in 4 years is as bad as you'll get and horrific from a so called big club!
Waking up this morning absolutely fuming! 5 wins in 4 months sweet baby Jesus in crib!

25 Jan 2026 11:26:17
Something something something unbeaten run, something something something we're in the top 4, something something something we can win the champions league… that's the usual defence to this dross. Slot out.

25 Jan 2026 11:27:31
If you're going to pass on a rumour, at least credit the original source.

25 Jan 2026 10:53:56
A good short term plan would be winning league matches. That would be my advice to the experts running the club. Typically involves scoring a couple and not conceding more than one. Hopefully the meeting this morning covers the basics as we seem to have forgotten it's a simple game.

24 Jan 2026 22:07:07
The fields/ Carra/ Victor please can you shed some light on the Slot situation, are we going to pull the trigger or give him more time?

Is he definitely gone, have we or will we pull the trigger next week? If not then surely hughes is being held accountable for the unbalanced recruitment?

24 Jan 2026 23:29:57
Carra is waiting to receive a green flag.

Whether that's a digital green flag, physical green flag or metaphorical green flag is purely speculation at this point.

What that green flag means is anyone's guess but I believe Slot will be hoping the flag is not green.

24 Jan 2026 23:31:48
Cant see Slot surviving beyond the City game unless the Lord throws a miracle his way! Edwards will soon follow, and likely bring his buddy with him.

24 Jan 2026 23:42:13
Calm down, it'll get sorted.

25 Jan 2026 00:02:37
Will Slot be sacked? Is Xabi just biding his time? Will Robbo go to Spurs? Is big Joe made of wafer? Will we win a game again? Will Skippy rescue little Joe from the deserted mine? Will Flash finally defeat Ming and save Earth from destruction? Tune in this time next week to watch the final terrifying cliffhanger of. LFC.

25 Jan 2026 00:05:31
I'm equally disappointed in our recruitment team, surely it's a few heads that will roll.

25 Jan 2026 00:36:49
Did anyone consider that Carra is waiting for green flag because his car broke down?

25 Jan 2026 00:44:33
Maybe Carra's car has broken down.

25 Jan 2026 02:38:14
Can't help thinking that the substitution farce was down to the players ignoring the coach.
If that's true, he is done.
(also, clucking Endo man. Is he the CB solutio? Clucking kill me. I will pay u)
Len.

25 Jan 2026 06:13:05
Surely being a scorer Cara would be using the AA. calm down!

25 Jan 2026 08:42:07
RobbyRoll I'm humming the SOAP theme song now thanks.

25 Jan 2026 08:45:45
I'd be shocked if he was sacked.

There's no difference now going into February, from anything that was being served up in November

The club already look like complete idiots for sticking with him, I reckon they die on their sword and we just limp to summer without finishing in the top 7.

25 Jan 2026 09:01:41
The only ones who know what's happening are not on this site. And that's if they know anything. It seems a bit driver less like Oles last days.

25 Jan 2026 09:32:05
We've got Spurs and Manchester United vibes this season. They've been through so many coaches we could draw Arne parallels with a few of them, it's only after rinse and repeat multiple times someone realises the problems are also higher up the chain.

The game was slightly better to watch last night but unfortunately when we play a more attacking style we haven't got the right personnel to defend.

Ironically, after spending on a lot of attackers we don't look right in attack at the moment either. We aren't clinical enough in the key moments.

25 Jan 2026 11:23:03
The players look to have down tools missing out on the champions league would be a massive backwards step slot needs to go asap.

25 Jan 2026 11:35:31
Hugo that was not slightly better at times it was like watching kids football in the school yard . It was that bad the camera man has put in a claim for whiplash forward, backward, sideways his neck must be killing him.


The players want slot out you only have to look at the body language of the players there is only Sboz and Hugo that look interested .
As for the goals against i would be disappointed if a kids team conceded them AWFUL PERFORMANCE.

24 Jan 2026 20:03:34
Hello all,
Well that display was nearly as dire as my last few posts! lol!
Jokes aside and back to reality. So i have quite a bit to get through but i'll start with the one that is big. Arne Slot has lost the backing of the Liverpool players annd I expect something to happen soon. Alexis Mac Alister has received numerous offers from Liverpool but turned them down, due to wanting a release clause in his deal. The news around Jones to Spurs is true, however Liverpool would be reluctant to sell him due to homegrown issues.

Wharton remains a summer priority and Liverpool would be willing to pay for him, however we wouldn't go above 70mil.
As we all know Xabi is waiting in the wings for Liverpool. I've also been told that certain staff are unhappy with Alisson Becker and his recent performances. That's enough for tonight if anything big happens I'll update later.
Liverpool are in trouble it's simple.

24 Jan 2026 20:34:35
Crash bang wallop. what an update.

Thanks for the endless banter Neily, hilarious posts mate.
Curtis to Spurs was particularly funny! 🤣.

24 Jan 2026 20:38:12
Jones definitely has the Spurs DNA.

24 Jan 2026 20:45:47
Neilyd666 I've just read the exact same post word for word from a guy on twitter.

24 Jan 2026 20:52:43
Unhappy with Ali? Yeah he has the odd moment, but he was keeping us in games recently. Utter rubbish that. Mind you it wouldn't surprise me as they continue to employ the likes of Hughes and Slot.

24 Jan 2026 20:52:46
Alisson has been pretty solid tbh and he'll always have my absolute backing. It's most of what is in front him that is letting him down.

24 Jan 2026 20:56:43
" Wharton remains a summer priority and Liverpool would be willing to pay for him, however we wouldn't go above 70mil. "

So is he a priority or will we only buy him on the cheap?

24 Jan 2026 21:05:38
What has Alisson done wrong?! Best keeper we've ever had and still one of the best on the planet. Not his fault our defenders are shocking.

24 Jan 2026 21:12:11
This has gone beyond a joke.

24 Jan 2026 21:12:31
I'm amazed a personal trainer has such high level access within Liverpool football club.

24 Jan 2026 21:15:27
@Neilyd666 That's twice you have straight up copied Wilson Cox LFC on Twitter. You do know Wilson Cox has actually posted in here before?

24 Jan 2026 21:18:15
Liverpool are willing to pay for Wharton, as opposed to getting him for free. Thanks for the update, and please keep us updated.

24 Jan 2026 21:25:58
Are you Wilson Cox on twitter or he just reads here and post what that is written here?
He tweeted the exact same thing as you wrote, word for word.

He is the new ITK troll on X this days.

24 Jan 2026 21:49:08
Not a lot, but like many as they get older he's slightly on the wane. The quality in front of him is seriously lacking though so he's not a priority to replace right now, and the Georgian doesn't look to be at his level.

24 Jan 2026 22:06:11
For everyone wondering this is MY Twitter update and I don't know why someone is taking it.
Wilson Cox LFC.

24 Jan 2026 22:15:27
We're bang in trouble under this manager. I simply could not believe that Line Up and Formation.
How can you change from worked so well in Europe? He's lost the absolute Plot.

24 Jan 2026 22:18:43
Nellys packed his trunk with too much amber nectar me thinks…. Booze is bad mmmkay.

24 Jan 2026 22:32:34
We're being linked with Fulham's Robinson tonight. Unless his contract is running down surely that's a reflection of our poor decision making. He's a good enough player but why buy Kerkez.

24 Jan 2026 22:58:42
HERE WE GO

Second line of sniff.

24 Jan 2026 23:33:11
Neilyd has been rumbled more times than the San Andreas fault, I'm sure he gets a good chuckle out of it though.

25 Jan 2026 00:19:36
He would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you pesky kids.

25 Jan 2026 00:32:13
Oh my days this lad is hilarious 😂😂.

25 Jan 2026 02:43:08
Alison was different class v Marseille.
He has lost some my personal confidence recently but we have MUCH bigger fish to fry right now.
Plus he's the last line. It shouldn't co. e to the point where he's the difference.
VVD acts like everything is someone else's fault.


I really don't know anymore.
Maybe the gaffer is killing confidence.
We have a good side (kack squad but good 11).
I can't help feeling that these players would excel, given a change of boss.

25 Jan 2026 08:20:27
Ah the old copy and paste job, maybe try a new user name and go again Neily.

25 Jan 2026 09:46:04
theres soo much wrong on the above post
Allison has been fantastic, his form should not be questioned

I don't agree why we are trying to extend Mcallisters contract, he is very much missing in most games, i prefer Jones over him, mccalister can go to Spurs, Jones we keep.

Stop using players as CB's or Defensive Midfielders, when they are midfielders (Gravenberch, Endo)

25 Jan 2026 11:13:07
Jones is awful at defending, He runs around a lot and can pass 5 yard balls all day long, but he can't tackle or get in shape to stop crosses or through balls. You can pass through his line all day long. Macallister is not the same player but I think it's a mental thing with him at the moment.


Let's be honest Virgil was defending on his own yesterday and he had a nightmare.
We need to buy a proper unit who can tackle and defend. not just run into a position and stand still.

25 Jan 2026 16:12:20
This is hilarious, really needed this after that result! Nice one Neily 🤣.

24 Jan 2026 19:45:47
For those ITK, will today's bad defeat change things. Top 4 going to difficult and surely that should now warrant a change of head coach now?

24 Jan 2026 20:32:35
Top 5 get UCL this year so he has to get that at least.

24 Jan 2026 20:37:31
Yes.

Waiting on someone to green flag, looks like it's the end.

Ta.

24 Jan 2026 20:44:29
For what it's worth, after watching this game tonight it seemed clearer, if we play offensively in the prem even against average sides we will concede because our defence just isn't good enough.

Arne is struggling, that much is clear. I don't think he's out of his depth exactly but there's no doubt it's difficult times for him and he can't do right for doing wrong.

The players aren't helping though. And for someone to say the likes of Macca aren't playing for him, well how about he plays for the supporters then, or for his personal pride. The reality is he's just not a good enough player, and using Arne as an excuse for his poor form is laughable.

24 Jan 2026 20:44:57
No guarantee that 5th will get CL @keegan.

24 Jan 2026 20:48:02
I can't take it that United may have a chance to leap frog us! Wtf.

24 Jan 2026 21:06:02
Our next fixtures are awful. We aren't getting top 5 with slot.

24 Jan 2026 21:14:18
Not a hope of finishing in the top 10.

24 Jan 2026 21:20:56
Keegans Perm - We likely drop to 6th tomorrow, with Newcastle up next and City to follow there's every chance we drop another 6 points and end up 10th or worse. There's no chance Slot can survive that, never mind the end of the season. He's going to have to pull some rabbit out the hat now.

24 Jan 2026 21:30:05
Beyond a joke now. Excuse after excuse. Slot clearly lost the team's support some time ago. Anyone checked if Edwards, Hughes et al are still alive. Run out of reasons why nothing is being done on or off the pitch.

24 Jan 2026 22:05:18
Is this the real Carra can we confirm? I'm really hoping it's the end.

24 Jan 2026 22:22:36
Cheers carra, it's more than slot that needs to go, i was hoping he'd turn it around but doesn't appear like he can but he's not the only one, whoever thought we didn't need guehi needs to go too.

24 Jan 2026 22:28:19
Top brass ain't happy, so I've heard. Dunno if that means they will over rule Edwards and the STC tho.

24 Jan 2026 22:31:05
Ta Carra. Here's hoping it happens I'm not sure I can watch the work Klopp did be undone and ruined anymore.

24 Jan 2026 22:44:07
No one responding to Carra? Looks like we all have ITK fatigue.

24 Jan 2026 23:08:10
Carra, they should green light getting rid of Hughes as well.

24 Jan 2026 23:21:40
Not that I agree with it, and I'm just a fan with nothing to substantiate this, but my gut feeling is that today's result changes absolutely nothing and that Slot continues until the end of the season. If he doesn't make Champions League, he might be replaced at that point like King Kenny was in 2012.

24 Jan 2026 23:41:26
Its a bad watch, like how have we become so bad.

25 Jan 2026 00:00:45
I'll be genuinely sad if Slot leaves, because I think last season he proved he can take this team to a very high level. We played great football and we won the league.
I don't know what happened, but this season with the signings we made we should've been better on paper. Instead the performances and results have been atrocious, and honestly, a change might be the best thing for everyone at this point.


I'm sure Jota's death affected the whole group, and we probably should be more patient. A manager who won us the league last year deserves at least that. But that's football — patience is always short.
Hopefully, if Slot does leave, we bring in Xabi Alonso. He would bring fresh ideas and a new atmosphere, which might help everyone.

25 Jan 2026 00:48:15
I thought first 20 minutes we were playing some brilliant football with grav finding wirtz in space but as we've seen too many times we conceded a soft goal again and with vvd being at fault and I also lay some blame to him for second goal for not seeing the space kerkez left behind him, we showed character to get back in the game, this defence is as soft as the Rodgers defence where every corner or set piece we dreaded, even under Klopp there was a period where we were soft and gave away silly goals, not buying a CB is criminal and if it weren't for other teams being so poor we could easily be 10.

25 Jan 2026 06:20:03
Thanks Carra.
The way in reading your post. is that we are waiting for Alonso to say yes (the green flag)

Enough is enough.

25 Jan 2026 08:06:36
Liverpool's form reeks of arrogance, epitomised on pitch by Virgil (great servant though he has been) and not playing a proper 6 in this league is something you can get away with for one season, tops.

Grav was everywhere last night and more often it was Macca quarterbacking; this disrespect to EPL opposition is killing us. Look at our GD conceded 18 more than Arsenal, 1 more than Spurs.

25 Jan 2026 10:40:27
Cheers Carra, it's about time. I saw a stat elsewhere on this page saying we'd only won 5 league games in 4 months. Dreadful form.

24 Jan 2026 12:11:04
There's interest from Tottenham for Curtis Jones, Liverpool will want upwards of £25m plus, nothing concrete yet, just a few enquiries.

24 Jan 2026 12:16:34
Be absolutely stupid to sell Curtis for that kind of money in my opinion. he's a perfect squad player who loves the club and is happy to play when required. he's also on low wages and a scouser to boot. Keep.

24 Jan 2026 12:27:30
This window?

24 Jan 2026 12:28:34
And the rest!

Anyway, I'd be amazed (and gutted) if we sold our Curtis, he's a lifer.

24 Jan 2026 12:43:26
If that's true along with Robbo Gakpo that's going to leave us very short on number surely

Thanks for the info though Robbo.

24 Jan 2026 12:45:13
I really hope this doesn't happen.

24 Jan 2026 13:02:20
Potentially 2 outgoings at this stage in ths window, maybe 3 if the Gakpo rumours turn into anything without any noise on incomings is a bit worrying to say the least.

24 Jan 2026 13:15:24
Should never been selling a local lad who is happy to be a squad player. Always need a scouser in and around the team.

24 Jan 2026 13:22:35
Lol £25m 😂.

24 Jan 2026 13:23:45
I'd want more than that. £25m just about covers the homegrown tax.

24 Jan 2026 13:25:59
Current climate in players. He's worth 35 to 40m. Anyone who says more is deluded. Don't think they'd sell him and he doesn't want to go by all accounts. But if they accept a offer he'll know he isn't valued anymore and might change his mind. Personally opinion is we get offers 40m we should take it.

24 Jan 2026 13:33:15
Thanks robbo.
I'd keep him.

24 Jan 2026 13:33:19
Really hope they don't sell CuJo we're running out of scousers. And he's been playing really well. We're better with him in the team atm. Thanks for the info Robbo.

24 Jan 2026 13:34:44
If Jones was at Spurs and we were interested, they'd be looking for £40m at least.

24 Jan 2026 14:01:20
Nyoni steps up and gets the game time he's been wanting and in summer Wharton/ Camavinga joins, possibly maybe.

24 Jan 2026 14:03:00
Jones will not be interested, he's a die hard, £25m is a lowball offer anyway. We'd have to pay nearly twice that to get somebody of the same calibre in.

24 Jan 2026 14:13:55
Jones isn't good enough for liverpool scouser or not

25m is probably too low but definetly don't think we shouldn't listen to offers.

24 Jan 2026 14:34:46
Might as well sell them Alisson and Van Dijk while we're at it.

24 Jan 2026 14:40:21
I can confirm interest in him but he has no intention of going anywhere. Nothing has gone further than contact with his agent.

24 Jan 2026 15:01:03
As others have said - we're better with a Scouser in the team.

We're also better with a Scot in the team, wouldn't sell Robbo until we have a Scot to take over.

24 Jan 2026 15:10:04
Tell ye one thing Magico if he's worth no more than £35-40m then the figures been bandied around for the likes of Anderson and Wharton are totally ridiculous. Curtis knows what its like to play for a global club, the pressure the scrutiny.

Every mistake you make for a club like ours is magnified whereas your only seen the likes of Palace and Forests highlights on MOTD. Kerkez's struggles when he first made the jump should show us that.

24 Jan 2026 15:12:00
On the one hand some think Cody, Curtis and Robbo aren't good enough to be first teamers, and there's also a group of supporters who criticise because there's no route to the first team for the likes of Trey.

So long as we get reasonable value I'm not against selling any of those three. I'd like to see some of the youth get blooded a bit first but we've been playing poorly so that wasn't necessary the best time to play Trey or others.

It's increasingly looking like a major transition season, so it's probably best to carry on and clear the decks, get back into the CL and go again next season with a refreshed team and squad.

24 Jan 2026 15:18:39
You NEED players like Curtis Jones. Squad players of a certain quality who are happy to take the minutes as and when they come, without kicking up a fuss. You also NEED home grown players, and players with a longstanding connection to the club.

If we sold Curtis it would be worse than all of the other idiotic transfer choices so far. I'd be calling for Hughes' head, and i've already not calmed down after the moronic blunders with the home grown targets of Semenyo and Guehi.

Does this guy understand any of the basic practicalities of squad planning? Numbers, quotas, mid season international tournaments? The fact we are even considering this has made my blood boil.

24 Jan 2026 15:32:17
I suspect the real issue is the contract negotiation and his salary expectations.

He is getting plenty of game time so I don't see any issue there.

He knows he's home grown and the only Scouser in our team, so he's playing the game.

I very much doubt Spurs are going to pay him more than we are willing to unless they are changing their existing wage structure.

Bottom line - it makes sense for us to keep him and I suspect he wants to stay and that this is just his agent using Spurs interest to strengthen his hand.

I would be shocked if they are willing to sell him given our home grown numbers and the fact that he's the only remaining Scouser in our first team squad.

24 Jan 2026 15:59:49
Jones should not be sold don't get any of what's going on. We need to make sure on the home grown numbers.

24 Jan 2026 16:25:37
Id take this with a pinch of salt, in a few hours Neilyd will have had a few sherbets and provide a real update. Granted Spurs will be Barcelona and Jones will be Ronaldinho by then but a update will be coming.

24 Jan 2026 17:30:13
That's confirmed your lack of credentials I'm afraid. few people being found out recently.
Firstly there's no chance he wants to leave, certainly not to spurs, not this window, would be double that price, we need to keep hold of British players especially with Robertson leaving soon. Total load of BS I'm afraid, I'd put my house on that not happening.

24 Jan 2026 17:38:14
WhatdoIknow - Jonesaldinho to Tottalona for 250 million jaffa cakes.

24 Jan 2026 18:07:37
Are we just not bothering with Home Grown players?

24 Jan 2026 19:43:37
I'd sooner have a wool in the team who can play. As for a scouser in the team, I'd sooner have scousers who can watch their local team play, particularly the kids.

24 Jan 2026 19:56:27
I wouldn't want him going at almost any price but at 25/ 30 would be scandalous. Great squad player capable in all the midfield roles. Has been one of the shining lights during our worst of worst earlier this season. Not to mention loves the club and can be counted on to give his all.

24 Jan 2026 20:08:07
Skezza11 I didn't say he was interested in leaving, what i said was, there's interest.

24 Jan 2026 21:06:46
If Jones, Gakpo and Robbo leave, all potentially. we will have lost 14 players from the 24/ 25 season's squad.

24 Jan 2026 22:02:57
Harvey was worth 35-40m before the season started. No way Curtis is worth less than that with the English/ HG tax.

25 Jan 2026 00:57:17
Greg, if Harvey was worth 35-40m before the season started, a club would have paid it and he'd have been sold surely?

25 Jan 2026 09:00:09
If the only reason to keep Jones is because of the location of his birth then there's no reason to keep him. Quite frankly he's not good enough, I don't even think he flatters to deceive, defensively he's brainless, his usage of the ball in possession isn't very good, he has a bad habit of hanging on to the ball too long and takes too many touches, doesn't offer much going forward and offers even less when defending.

Him and Mac Allister can both be easily upgraded. And don't mention Jones in the same breathe as Anderson or Wharton as they've both dog walked him this season. Jones is as spursy a player as I've ever seen. Take their money and move on.
