Good morning everyone. Really looking forward to Ed001 match review.
1.) 17 Dec 2020 20:23:29
I hope he talks about Moanrinho's living obviously in an alternative reality.
2.) 17 Dec 2020 21:34:12
I know England has a fair few bad pundits, but listening to ESPN's coverage and people like Craig Burley saying "Klopp is annoying me" and "I don't care if it annoys people, I like watching Tottenham more than Liverpool" are enough to drive me up the wall. They make the case that if Bergwijn finishes his chances its 3-1. what about all of the chances we had that went literally right at the goalie? Salah on his right foot scuffing it? Mane drilling the crossbar? 11 shots on target to 2; 17 shots to 8? 74% possession? 813 passes to 254? Sure, someone can make a comment about Klopp not making any subs, but who was he going to bring on? Ox and Keita who are literally not fit? These pundits live in Mourinho's world. I have watched Tottenham several times this year and get no joy from it. They set up to play exact as we expected and got punished for it when they took their best player off the pitch.
3.) 18 Dec 2020 00:26:04
Craig Burley and Richard Keys hate us. They are horrible individuals that get to stay on air knowing their words cause controversy.
4.) 18 Dec 2020 05:24:34
the talking heads can do my head in sometimes. well, actually, the writing fingers on here can do my head sometimes too hahahaha
each to their own tho. Some people laud the pragmatism of Mourinho's style. We were mature and lucky enough (we should admit) to ride the waves and eventually come out on top.
5.) 18 Dec 2020 14:41:07
I don't enjoy listening to football pundits. I find commentators to be really annoying. In my view they spoil the occasion. I would much prefer to watch a match with just the crowd noise. No commentator. No pundit. No idiotic and pointless statistics. We aren't we allowed to just watch the game?
6.) 18 Dec 2020 15:48:38
I just watched the game in full again and just don’t get it. Tottenham basically set up to defend and Liverpool completely dominated the game. We could have killed it off with decent finishing while they were basically limited to 3-4 key moments, while we dominated midfield and created at least a dozen good opportunities. I also think if Son had been subjected to the same scrutiny as Mane vs Everton, he would have been offsides. No question at all in my mind, the better team won.
Special mention to our midfield who were imperious, Bobby Firmino who was brilliant, Robbo who has been my player of the season so far, and Rhys who did an excellent job on Debut.
20 Sep 2020 20:45:03
Why was Henderson taken off?
{Ed0666's Note - injury
1.) 20 Sep 2020 20:59:00
Oh thanks Ed.
{Ed0666's Note - no worries mate hope you enjoyed the game.
2.) 20 Sep 2020 22:11:26
I think it was just precautionary (tight thigh they said on commentary) but also the perfect scenario to introduce Thiago’s skill set to the game.
3.) 20 Sep 2020 21:25:53
I was worried before the game I must admit but 10-15 minutes into the game I started to relax a bit. Now the sending off did of course help us no question there. I was really interested in watching Timo play and plenty of pace but would he suit our style of play? I definitely think we need more cover at CB even tho Fab was just fab.3pts in the bag Ed0666 and extremely happy mateðŸ‘ðŸ˜.
{Ed0666's Note - Yeh I said earlier I’m not sure Werner would have suited us and I stand by that. He’s phenomenal in a counter attacking side. Buying a CB is imperative mate as fab can’t be expected to pull out that type of center back display as an auxillary consistently if god forbid he had to. It was also telling that even tho Matip & Gomez didn’t play Billy the kid wasn’t picked so clearly Klopp doesn’t feel he’s ready to step up.
4.) 21 Sep 2020 07:57:14
I believe Billy was injured according to an injury update on the LFC website so Klopp may still consider him adequate cover.
{Ed001's Note - he was.}
5.) 21 Sep 2020 08:00:13
Was gomez injured? Seemed odd to not even have him in the bench if so.
{Ed001's Note - yes.}
6.) 21 Sep 2020 08:14:09
I thought fabinho was excellent at cb to the point that I’d like to see him there every week. He reads the game well makes great interceptions great tackles and good in the air. Add the fact that he can play a bit as well and I think you’ve got a perfect partner for VVD there. Held his own against a very good Werner on more than one occasion. Thiago with the exception of the challenge for the penalty looked exceptional, I’ll be honest I didn’t see the need for him as we have plenty of midfielders but in 45 minutes he proved with almost every touch of the ball that he’s a different class. Playing with a swagger of someone who has won everything and wants to win more. Liverpool at times looked in a training match just keeping possession and probing for Weakness for long stages. Chelsea miss pulisic and ziyech and will be a different prospect when they’re fit however Liverpool went to a team that want to be contenders and made them look average for 90 minutes. A very good squad developing now with cover across the pitch.
7.) 21 Sep 2020 04:15:21
So we’re all talking about a CB, but Eds, do we know of any actual solid interest in any? I’m hoping you won’t say Carlos.
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of anything different to what has been discussed I am afraid.}
8.) 21 Sep 2020 10:36:44
Fab has a mean streak in him, as a DM this is okay, but not as a CB. The risk would be too much.
{Ed025's Note - hes your second best centre back after VVD for me xpertoyin, reads the game very well and kept werner quiet yesterday which is not easy mate..
9.) 21 Sep 2020 10:49:20
I agree Ed025. Gomez is a very good young centre back but Fabinho is just better in every defensive department except recovery pace. He even holds the offside trap better.
{Ed025's Note - he has something better than speed HMB, he has speed of thought, reads the game very well which although hes young gomez fails on imo, just my opinion though mate..
10.) 21 Sep 2020 11:03:48
Was just going to say the same thing Ed. I thought he was exceptional and I think what I liked most was how well he read the game and his calmness with bring the ball out of dangerous situations. With regards to Thiago, I was also one that didn't see the need to go for him but wow, what a player. He strikes the ball so well and effortlessly finds a red shirt. I'm very excited to see more of him in midfield.
11.) 21 Sep 2020 13:25:55
As they say Ed025, the first 5 yards are in your head.
{Ed025's Note - dead right mate..
12.) 21 Sep 2020 13:39:02
I hope we don't sign a Cb think Gomez and VVD are a great pair big games like yesterday Fab can cover with the lower end clubs the young lads can cover if Matip and Gomez are both out. If I could sign one more player I would rather we get better cover for Alisson as Adrian proved last year in the fa cup and champions league he is not good enough.
13.) 21 Sep 2020 07:47:56
Think klopp said billy had a knock too.
{Ed0666's Note - thanks mate
14.) 21 Sep 2020 16:31:38
Can I ask who is Billy the kid? Haha.
15.) 21 Sep 2020 21:42:05
Gomez is far better than Fabinho at centre back.
I'm ok with Fabinho providing cover but no way would I agree with Fabinho actually being better than Gomez as a center back.
Excellent yesterday but if he playing there regularly I think he'd be caught out (lack of pace and strong but a bit clumsy so I think he would give away a fair few penalties) .
16.) 21 Sep 2020 23:14:18
Fabinho played superbly vs chelski. id be happy to see him there, maybe Tiago and Hendo infront of him. Would allow Keita to play slightly further forward. Or maybe play Bobby in a "10" role, move Mane inside, play Jota left channel and keep Salah down the right channel. Either way, and more, we've signed some great players in great deals, giving us a chance of retaining the title. Come on REDMEN. YNWA.
29 Jul 2020 11:57:38
Why did Liverpool not sign Harvetz? Was it lack of money? Or were they even interested in him?
{Ed002's Note - No money and not a player Liverpool looked to tap up.}
1.) 29 Jul 2020 13:40:13
Nice little jab there Ed, you’re quite partial to those. I’m pretty happy with the championship winning midfielders we have right now, so I guess we’ll have to look at tapping up a center back that Klopp so desperately wants?
{Ed002's Note - The statement is correct.}
2.) 29 Jul 2020 16:56:27
Everyone Liverpool look at were tapping them up. I now we’ve done it in the past but surely it’s not every transfer we’re looking into Ed . that would be worrying.
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool did not speak with RBL about Werner. Liverpool have not spoken with Bayern Munich about Thiago.}
3.) 30 Jul 2020 07:03:30
It seems apparently every player Liverpool are genuinely interested in signing is being tapped up by the club according to some people.
4.) 31 Jul 2020 10:55:53
For me I’d like to see williams play more at rb and taa in cm I’d like to see jones get more playing time too. I feel like gomez and VVD have a great partnership and would like to see sepp or hoever more involved in first team games. The biggest concern for me as a fan is our chance conversion rate. Also the lack of options outside the front 3 . Our first team is excellent I hope to see Naby play more and get more goals next season. Pressure of 30 years no league is gone I hope they can push on and play with some more freedom. LB and cf the positions I’d like cover for maybe try playing Minamino a bit more too.
05 Jul 2020 14:45:29
Victor Osimhen is/ could there be money for him if JK listens to this scout?
{Ed002's Note - No Barry.}
1.) 05 Jul 2020 14:59:30
I don’t see the fuss with Osimhen, he needs about 6 or 7 shots to get a goal and more often than not his efforts end up in the keepers hands or in the stands. Can’t see what he offers that we don’t already have in Origi in terms of being a big quick target man. Other than filling Lille’s coffers to the tune of £70m and us not getting a £70m player, surely we should learn from Arsenal getting mugged off over Nicolas Pepe?
2.) 05 Jul 2020 21:52:06
Sorry for the badly worded question Ed002 but at least you understud it mate and thanks for the reply.
{Ed002's Note - No problem Barry.}
29 Aug 2019 23:20:29
Is Lovern all but gone Tris?
{Ed001's Note - all but gone? No, he might well leave but nothing has been done yet. No offer has been acceptable so far. Plenty of time yet though.}
1.) 29 Aug 2019 23:54:31
Looks like Roma have got Smalling instead.
Lol?
2.) 30 Aug 2019 00:39:51
With Roma seemingly looking like they are getting smalling I'm guessing they have ended their interest in lovren?
3.) 30 Aug 2019 06:30:26
Jeez, they must have been desparate, Smalling is an awful footballer.
4.) 30 Aug 2019 17:00:46
I'd suggest Lovren is staying after what Klopp said today i. e. we had four CBs last season and still had to have Fab do it due to injuries and that they will ALL be needed again this season.
5.) 30 Aug 2019 18:55:25
If we want to challenge for all the top honours you need 4 capable CBs over the course of maybe 50/ 60 games. Be a huge risk to let him go, just 1 injury immediately leaves us bare at the back. Lovren is far from perfect but as squad player for backup with his experience there aren't many CBs around with better quality as a 4th choice. 1 more year and then let him choose his next club if he can't hold down a regular spot for us.
This time last year matip was in his position but took his opportunity to claim 1st team spot. Competition is strong in CB and let the young lads have another year of development before we prematurely rely on having to use them.
6.) 30 Aug 2019 20:42:13
I really don't understand all of the negativity about Lovren. I know he's had a few bad games but he's a very good defender.
If we get an injury or two and he gets into the team, I'd put money on him doing a Matip and keeping his place (injuries permitting, of course) .
When he gets his chance, he knows what he needs to do to keep his place. He's seen it with his own eyes.
{Ed025's Note - hmmmm..
7.) 30 Aug 2019 21:35:49
One thing that has been clear is lovren looks much better beside VVD, as does matip and Gomez. Yet matip and lovren are poor together. The key is when they have a leader, someone to organise and talk beside them they look much better. Lovren and matip don't show those qualities.
Like Ferdinand and vidic were such a good pair as they complimented each other's strenghts.
Henchoz looked good with hyypia leading but put henchoz beside matip for example and they would struggle.
You need the right pairing to suit your players strengths. Lovren and matip have had a much better performance level over the last 18 months with virg than anytime previous.
8.) 31 Aug 2019 23:46:28
For once I’m with Ed25 on this. Lovren is not a very good defender. He’s a decent 4th choice but one that you hope you never have to use.
9.) 02 Sep 2019 00:34:12
{Ed025's Note - hmmmm.
======================
why hmmmm, what are you insinuating ed025 . He is a Liverpool player so must be very good . an earlier post put Matip as one of the best CBs in the world, Lovern is not far behind if not even better, world cup and champions league finalist . The red shirt automatically turns you into the best in the world, remember Djimi Traore, a champions league winner.
{Ed025's Note - you sound like redwolf roy, now i know your very tongue in cheek here but matip has done very well to be fair to him mate..

Can't wait to read your review of this match Ed001.
{Ed001's Note - you mean have it read to you by the missus surely Bazza? We all know you can't read.}
1.) 24 Nov 2024 19:00:52
Exactly Ed001 it's the full stops that throw me and any word with more than 3 letters in it?.
2.) 24 Nov 2024 20:20:25
As someone that finds it hard to read it's never too late to learn.
Don't give up.
3.) 24 Nov 2024 20:28:07
It just felt like “what is he waiting for” with the subs… it just seemed so obvious we needed to change it and after he finally did, we took the game away from them.
4.) 24 Nov 2024 20:11:02
Hi Ed, really curious on your view on Robertson, would you keep him going into next season, doesn't feel like we a position we have much cover in! probably a priority for next season for me!
{Ed001's Note - I love Robbo but he is struggling badly. I think I would look to replace him in the summer - unless Beck is seen as the answer (or someone else coming through), in which case it would be worth keeping him to ease them in and help them in training.}
5.) 24 Nov 2024 21:13:11
At 30 years old, surely Robbo has plenty left in the tank, and this is just a period of poor form and consistency. He has however been absolutely rinsed by Klopp's machine, which seems to take years off players legs.
He will be back to his best at some point, although due to Slots tactics, it may have to be elsewhere.
6.) 24 Nov 2024 21:33:55
Chambers would be perfect in our system if he can step up to the required level after he returns from loan. He can play LB, CB and LM due to his technical ability and defensive qualities. With the way Robbo is playing, his skill set seems perfect. However it’s a huge step up from the Football League to the Prem. A step that’s often too big. Fingers crossed, cus like Bradley, Quansah etc he could save us big bucks.
7.) 24 Nov 2024 22:38:33
It was a foul due to his slow reactions. but why is more not being made of the decision to give a penalty. The replays did not show it was in the box. If his foot is not touching the line (as replay couldn't show) then is that not evidence it was in the box. So why uphold the decision. it looked outside the box. replays showed it was outside box. ?
Just imagine if that was at the other end? Big club decision I hear.
Ollie Watkins dive is called controversial penalty decision. yet this is just accepted? At least try and adopt the same standards.
Whilst I'm on my high horse. Lallana tackle. did they actually review it? All clubs will give examples of lesser challenges being pulled up.
Oliver normally likes it to be about him, but maybe he just a coote.
8.) 24 Nov 2024 22:44:59
Thank you Walter your support means a lot to me?.
9.) 24 Nov 2024 22:58:08
I thought it looked outside the box too sirshanks but I have to confess I’m not completely sure of the ruling.
Robbo’s foot was planted and possibly was touching the line. The attacker was outside the box and not anywhere near the line.
Where is the foul deemed to have occurred? Is it from the outside edge of Robbo’s foot as that’s the foot he fouled with which was arguably touching the line? Or is it where the contact occurred which was undoubtably outside the box?
It was a huge decision as it gave them a foothold in the game so it would be interesting to hear how they came to that decision.
But you know they’ll just say ‘referee’s call’ as it gives them as easy way out.
10.) 24 Nov 2024 23:17:21
ref called pen, and then I guess from there it needs to be clear on review that it was outside. I thought it was close so was ok with it but chuckled a bit at the explanation.
Thought Robbo was alright.
Not a criticism but was having a laugh watching Bradley working his ar*e off to cover ground for their second goal. He's busting a gut like an 8 year old just running to where the ball is going, meanwhile leaving acres of space behind him lol. Could have prevented the goal had he just jogged back in a straight line down the middle of the field to the top of the box :D.
11.) 24 Nov 2024 23:36:31
I wonder if we have any interest in 18 year old left-footed right-winger 18 Tyler Dibling? Thought he was outstanding today.
12.) 25 Nov 2024 00:04:28
The reasoning they have for the penalty was that contact may have started outside the box but they weren't certain if it continued until inside the box. So they didn't overturn the decision by the onfield ref.
Tbh, I wasn't sure if this is an actual ruling tbh. But no doubt the mistake was Robertson's. There was no need to lunge in there. Should have just slowed him down and ushered him out wide while the rest of the defence recovers.
13.) 25 Nov 2024 01:12:50
This Tyler Dibling was their best.
The tall 32 striker showed good fancy foot work but nothing much else.
One of the defender had good ball carrying skill but nothing else.
Jones is a confused merchant. He himself is not sure what he is doing with ball and that helps as the opposition is also kept guessing as us. ?.
14.) 25 Nov 2024 02:32:00
The classic "there was no conlusive evidence that the referee had made a clear and obvious error" has been used and posted on twatter.
In other words, "we can't decide if the ref has mucked it up, so go ahead and continue playing, and let us get back to our coffee, it's cold and chilly out here" .
15.) 25 Nov 2024 04:58:28
We should actually be thankful that VAR, or the clowns operating it, are as inept and clueless AF.
Their pen will be debatable, then they wave away the Armstrong one, which I thought was a clear pen as Kelli wipes him out without touching the ball.
You win some. You lose some.
Things would've been very different had the Armstrong one been given.
16.) 25 Nov 2024 07:08:11
I actually thought it was a pen, by the rules regarding VAR anyway. It was so touch and go I actually think VAR did the right thing by not getting involved. Looking at positions of the feet, I would be pretty annoyed if that wasn't given for us.
17.) 25 Nov 2024 07:37:39
It looked like his big toe was on the line but it was that marginal that once the ref gave it then it wasn’t going to be overturned.
18.) 25 Nov 2024 08:22:43
It was actually a foul on Robbo.
The ball is going away from the attacker, either due to a poor touch from him or Robbo just nicking it away, the attacker then studs Robbo halfway up his shin.
Of course Oliver gives the penalty.
19.) 25 Nov 2024 10:24:38
Penalty was inconclusive even with VAR looking at it?
In rugby, with bodies all around they can tell if the ball is grounded for a try. This is down to many camera angles and competent referees. P/ L need to catch up.
17 Nov 2024 18:25:13
Tris I just want to say that even in your darkest hour I will never leave your side. I will be your Laurel to your Hardy your Scooby to your Shaggy??.
{Ed001's Note - that just made me groan in despair. Talk about making a bad day worse Bazza!}
1.) 17 Nov 2024 18:34:59
Deep down Tris you know that you would be lost without me by your side?.

16 Nov 2024 17:13:28
Well didn't expect to be typing this post today but such is life at times unfortunately. Anyway my deepest condolences to his family and all the Eds. When I first joined the site in 2010 I remember asking a question and Ed002 replied and to this day I still cannot spell nor pronounce the words that he used in his reply but that was Ed002 after all. I also believe that as a mark of respect to Ed002 the word GILFNARD should be added to Collins Oxford Diconary, I really believe he would chuckle at that. Anyway I'm going to miss you and trying to pronounce those big words.
Respect Ed002.
1.) 16 Nov 2024 18:07:10
Well the news of ed02s passing came as a shock tobus all, , never mind to his family and friends and the rest of the eds. i've been on the site for over a decade and have tonsay his football knowledge was second to none, he called slot as manager when nobody was even mentioning him. When sky were reporting we could be signing the velancia keeper to loaning him to Bournemouth ed02 quickly pointed out you couldn't do it. Sky ( whom I'm convinced read these pages ) quickly followed suit . His quick wit and ability to shut down idiots as he called them was second to none. RIP ED, And condolences to all his family, eds, friends and his colleagues in the rodeo clown circuit?, you will be missed .
2.) 16 Nov 2024 18:07:48
Here here Barry. Wishing the best to his family and loved ones.

Ed001 you around mate?
{Ed001's Note - no Bazza, not around if you are asking!}
1.) 07 Sep 2024 13:28:21
Just for a bit of fun would you do a review of Roy Evans 1st squad/ season please?
{Ed001's Note - Roy Evans and the Spice Boys are already on the list for articles mate. So yeah no worries I will just add that into it.}
2.) 07 Sep 2024 15:28:36
Perfect thank you.
3.) 07 Sep 2024 15:50:22
Loved the Roy Evans era. Disappointed that he wasn't given the support he needed above him. Bergkamp, Desailly, Sheringham were players he really wanted. Giving him Paul Ince as a cure for the soft centre was the beginning of his end.
4.) 07 Sep 2024 16:25:17
Didn't he want batistuta aswel?
5.) 08 Sep 2024 10:06:24
And Batigol was open to coming apparently.
13 Nov 2024 21:35:40
100% agree mate either VAR or just plain old refereeing the standard for both is shocking.
13 Nov 2024 20:49:09
Family all good thank God Billy. I remember Ray Lewis and Joe Worrel mate as decent refs.
{Ed025's Note - there have been a few good ones over the years Barry but the standard has really gone down the pan over the last few years mate, for me it coincided with the introduction of VAR and the referees using it as a crutch as any mistakes will be overturned at Stockley Park...supposedly..
13 Nov 2024 20:33:28
Thank you Ed025 hope you're all good? I really can't see Coote coming back from this. A referee is always meant to be impartial no matter what. Unfortunately nowadays IMO there isn't a decent ref out there. There was a ref in the 80's whom I thought was brilliant I must find his name and post it here Ed025 and see if you remember him.
{Ed025's Note - the standard is very poor Barry, i hope you and the family are well mate..
13 Nov 2024 20:07:07
Sorry lad's BUT I'm the No1 advisor at the club?.
{Ed025's Note - i wouldn,t doubt that for one minute Barry mate..
29 Aug 2024 11:17:47
In your opinion Ed002 what should the club have done differently? I totally agree Daniel?.
{Ed002's Note - Sold Endo when a decent offer was made and not screwed around before offering him to the same club. They should have addressed the DM issue and then a CB to replace Matip after letting can den Berg leave.}
06 Dec 2024 23:47:43
I agree with Thunderbird 2 I really couldn't care less what they think or say.
06 Dec 2024 21:11:53
Very true Ed001.
06 Dec 2024 16:06:49
Your views on Utd are top class Ed014 because you really go for the jugular?.
{Ed014's Note - hence why I’m banned from their page Barry ?
06 Dec 2024 16:04:21
You Just had to do it Ed001 you just had to jinx any chance of Cunha joining us?.
{Ed001's Note - Hughes is in charge of signings, do you really think there was any chance of it happening?}
04 Dec 2024 22:13:54
I'm not happy?.
