If memory serves Rafa and Pako fell out that's why he left.
1.) 26 Jan 2025 21:21:47
Rafa fall out with someone. I can’t see that Barry.
2.) 26 Jan 2025 21:38:23
Was never revealed exactly *why* they fell out, was it?
Apparently they are talking again though.
3.) 26 Jan 2025 22:04:44
Pako Ayesteran was Rafa’s best right-hand man but sadly they fell out. Both sides have different reasons for the split.
4.) 26 Jan 2025 22:19:15
Wasn’t there something about Pako talking to or leaking info to Chelsea?
17 Dec 2020 08:37:28
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.}

A very good morning all Ed's and Reds ?
Just booked the ferry and hotel in Chester. So victory parade here we come ?.
{Ed025's Note - great stuff Barry..
1.) 19 Apr 2025 11:13:21
Sorry my mistake. We are staying at the Ed025 Villa and we got the Joe Royle suite.
{Ed025's Note - you are a very lucky man Barry.. :)
2.) 19 Apr 2025 11:15:59
Yeah I’m definitely travelling up. Not missing this one after the last time was a real disappointment after all that Covid nonsense
Up the pool.
3.) 19 Apr 2025 11:19:59
No running water and the bath is a bucket outside. Luxury at its finest mate ?.
{Ed025's Note - if there is a off licence and a kebab shop then its all good mate..
4.) 19 Apr 2025 11:51:12
Hotels are extortionate, been checking for a while. Might have to just do the day trip. What time do you reckon the parade will finish?
5.) 19 Apr 2025 12:00:30
Mark, why don’t you stay in somewhere like Warrington, there’s premier inns, travelodges - 35 mins on the train, half an hour in the car.
6.) 19 Apr 2025 12:26:45
That's why I booked Chester Mark. Do like Drogie says and look outside Liverpool mate.
7.) 19 Apr 2025 13:13:58
Got to be spaces on the Wirral new Brighton etc even Southport. My mate lives in apartment by liver buildings overlooking the route he got offered £2500 for the week and my son lives facing Albert dock he got offered 2k for the weekend for the last parade. Absolutely nuts.
8.) 19 Apr 2025 13:20:42
What dates you got Bazza?
9.) 19 Apr 2025 13:20:45
Nice one Barry! I'm also going. I'll be there from the 23rd for a few days, I can't wait!
10.) 19 Apr 2025 13:31:26
When is the date/ time of the parade?
11.) 19 Apr 2025 14:22:03
From the 25th to the 27th Gazza. Nice one Salah ?. All round to Villa Ed025 for a bucket bath and a kebab ?.
12.) 19 Apr 2025 14:25:06
No official date announced but the rumour mill suggests Monday 26th May which is a bank holiday.
13.) 19 Apr 2025 14:38:21
It won't be on the 25th, surely.
We've got a game on the 25th.
14.) 19 Apr 2025 14:59:04
Out of interest baz did you pay over the odds for that date? Might stick my place on air bnb and go rough it at me mates for the weekend.
15.) 19 Apr 2025 17:12:42
A hotel with a family room 2 nights for €300 L29.
16.) 19 Apr 2025 19:02:10
Extortionate but probably a great deal to be fair considering what John says theyr charging, Chester’s a great place to be staying as well rather than Warrington or Birkenhead, much nicer.
17.) 19 Apr 2025 19:34:12
Sure that's the reason why we are going L29.Myself and Mrs. B walking hand in hand in the Chester countryside. Who needs a victory parade ?.
18.) 19 Apr 2025 20:44:06
Be careful where you walk in Chester Barry.
My hometown- plenty of places I wouldn’t step foot in.
19.) 19 Apr 2025 20:54:04
Mrs. B is better than any Rottie Paisley ?.
04 Apr 2025 11:16:36
A very good morning all Ed's and Reds. I got a lovely hug off my little man this morning as he said to me"Dad we are going to win the league"and I smiled back and said"Yes son"??.
{Ed001's Note - I so hope you are talking about your son!}
1.) 04 Apr 2025 12:18:21
You do worry me at times Tris ?.
2.) 04 Apr 2025 12:34:19
Must be his son Ed001, he said the little boy said "Dad" not "Daddy".
{Ed001's Note - good point.}
27 Mar 2025 08:24:13
A very good morning all Ed's and Reds ? Next stop league no 20 please ?.
1.) 27 Mar 2025 10:03:08
Good man Ba.
2.) 27 Mar 2025 10:03:47
Good man Barry, some positivity ?.
3.) 27 Mar 2025 10:44:51
Is Goodman Ba Demba's brother, Jimmy?
4.) 27 Mar 2025 11:48:37
?? nice one Zed.
5.) 27 Mar 2025 12:55:30
I wish Goodman had been playing in 2014, instead of his brother.
6.) 27 Mar 2025 14:46:37
Goodman wouldn't have been as speedy, Rome, if his physique is anything like his half brother, John.
25 Mar 2025 13:59:26
Look lad's if he's going he's going. Better players have gone and Liverpool still went on and won trophies. I would be more upset if the other 2 were going. It is what it is YNWA.
1.) 25 Mar 2025 14:13:41
Spot on bazza.
2.) 25 Mar 2025 14:34:52
That’s the big worry Trent is a big loss but losing the other two is a disaster. Any team losing 3 of their best 4/ 5 players would plummet down the table.
3.) 25 Mar 2025 15:38:39
Why the panic? Whoever leaves will leave.
Sometimes you lose your hunger and don't perform at the levels you initially started with.
Cannot see all 3 leaving but Virgil and Salah need replacing. It will happen. It must.
New additions means new playing styles and formations. We have become stale. It's exciting times ahead.
4.) 25 Mar 2025 17:05:14
It’s not the leaving that’s the issue, it’s the ability to replace and then sustain or improve team performance that’s the issue when elite talent goes.
Losing multiple elite players for low or no transfer fees can’t be the optimal solution for us, either financially or from a performance perspective. Particularly as there’s no oven ready replacements for any of them.
From the club perspective it’s only any good to run contracts down if the players performance level has dropped so far there isn’t a major sell on or retention value, so we’re happy for them to walk away.
In the case of the three under review we’ve offered them all something, so that’s also different as we’ve shown we’d prefer to keep them all. The fact we haven’t agreed anything so far is as much on the players in the sense they’re chosing not to accept our offers.
In terms of who to pin this on beyond the players, and why wasn’t this sorted earlier, that doesn’t sit with the current management of the club in terms of responsibility as they weren’t here when the contracts had two years left on them.
The only other thing they could have done to limit the damage financially was offload all three last summer. Imagine the fan backlash from that if a new manager and new directors had started off with that as their first move, equally at that stage the noises from the players may have been positive in terms of wanting to stay.
17 Mar 2025 09:15:03
Lad's for me this and every season it's always been about the league everything else is a bonus. The squad isn't strong enough to compete on all 4 fronts. The game was over after the second goal so what worried me from then on was getting any major injuries. Look it's not good to lose in a cup final especially in the manner they did but it's not about the cups. Anyway Happy St. Patricks Day YNWA.
1.) 17 Mar 2025 09:41:12
"It's not about the cups" - in that case, the Liverpool fans wasted their money attending.
We should be aiming to win every trophy. Especially when we're playing in the final.
2.) 17 Mar 2025 09:53:48
Adam if you read it again I said"For me it's not about the cups" I'm not saying that every Liverpool fan should or does feel the same ?.
3.) 17 Mar 2025 10:01:44
I agree the league is everything this season. We need to strengthen to be able to compete on all fronts. I believe we will be stronger next season but unfortunately so will the competition.
4.) 17 Mar 2025 10:02:12
I agree with you Barry. It's all about winning the league. Since when is a measure of our success based on winning the carabao cup or not. Come on. We judge ourselves on winning the league. We just have to win it. The boys should be angry focused on winning it now. The break has come at a great time to reset and go again. Nine finals starting with everton, whom we owe one. All tough games left but we control everything to win the league. Now, that's success.
5.) 17 Mar 2025 10:20:02
Not many teams can ‘compete on all fronts’. Cup competitions can come down to one bad game, one refereeing decision, one mistake or one moment of brilliance.
Because of that you’ll get lots more variation in who wins them. We’ve been fortunate that we’ve won more than our fair share of domestic and European trophies in our history and even our recent history but it’s not something that should expected year in year out because one moment that goes against you and your out. It doesn’t have to be a reflection of the players, team or manager it’s just how cup completions work.
I agree win Barry, win the league first and then anything else is a bonus. If the football gods are smiling on you then you might pick up a cup here and there but it shouldn’t be expected and it certainly shouldn’t be used as a stick to beat the team with when we are 12 points clear in the league.
6.) 17 Mar 2025 10:21:12
Cups are bonuses, man. The past week was a tough week BUT it's gone now. The title is where it's at this from the Shankley days till the moment Im typing this. Nothing has changed. Let's go bring the title home, now. It's about damn time.
7.) 17 Mar 2025 10:55:36
Spot on Bazza.
Yesterday was awful - but it was Newcastle’s only game that mattered. If they lose every game from here, no-one up there will give a monkeys. They could play like that, risk injury and leave everything out on that pitch.
Imagine if we’d have won yesterday, but lost Virg or Ali, or Macca to a season-ending injury and jeopardised the league? . Fans would be up in arms.
Mistakes were made (no Endo, marking at corners, Jota and Kelleher starting), but the squad isn’t exactly overflowing with viable options. It desperately needs investment.
Let’s not panic. If we can get over the line in the league, we will still have had a great season.
8.) 17 Mar 2025 11:12:48
I agree Barry. It's all about winning the league. That is the priority.
9.) 17 Mar 2025 10:08:09
A poor week TBH and i think PSG game affected us physically and mentally. what i did think about yesterday was that Newcastle played well but they are really good at the niggly dark arts especially Trippier, Joelinton and Bruno. they must have been watching how Everton stopped us playing the other week just in out muscling and making it a physical stop start game. fair play to them it worked but we need to be stronger as more teams will try to use these tactics. ANyway onto the League YNWA.

Ed025 unfortunately as you know there are nutters in every club and ours will definitely appear just to boo him.
{Ed025's Note - i really hope not Barry as for me it would sour a great day in the history of the club mate, if he does go its thanks and you move on for me, he has still contributed majorly so should be applauded just like the rest of them..
