Reports from Egypt say salah going to be left out of upcoming international games, would b great boost if true.
1.) 08 Nov 2024 11:23:38
He is being left out as Egypt have already qualified. Which is good News, he should be fresh for the crazy december!
2.) 08 Nov 2024 13:13:31
As part of his contract renewal he should asked to step away from International football IMO.
3.) 08 Nov 2024 16:07:52
That’s good news. The Lad looked shattered towards the end of the Leverkusen game.
4.) 08 Nov 2024 19:11:25
Never going to happen Gingerlfc, he needs 10 goals or so to be the all time scorer for egypt. Which is very important for him.
5.) 09 Nov 2024 03:33:12
Gingerlfc, as Fiskesprett has said, that is never going to happen. It would be a move in very poor faith by Liverpool to ever even discuss such a clause. Playing for Egypt means the world to Salah because he loves his country and wants to fight for it. It is okay to love your home, be proud of it and want prosperity for its people, regardless of how ashamed the Western media wants citizens of those countries to feel of theirs (which, to some extent, filters down into the apathy many in the West feel about international football) .

Top reply Lowe1FC.

African players like South American players, owe it as a duty to play for their country. Not every one is a dismissive of it's national team as the English are.
{Ed025's Note - it used to be like that for the English Oli, but years of corruption and it now to be no more than a money making scheme has made a lot of them not give a toss actually mate, its overkill for the players and they are playing far too many games..
04 Oct 2024 17:12:27
Hello ed2. Do u know of any interest from lfc in mason melia? plays in league of ireland, only 16/ 17 and v highly rated. word is there string of top english clubbs after him, man city being strongly linked. I don't think he can sign til he 18 anyway.
{Ed002's Note - I am afraid I don’t know and don’t know who to am. He would nee to wait until he is 18.}
1.) 04 Oct 2024 18:56:40
Thanks for response ?.
2.) 04 Oct 2024 19:03:35
Talks are arsenal and Brighton are the two with the most significant interest apparently. as a person who's a soft spot for St Pats I don't see him good enough for arsenal / liverpool.
3.) 05 Oct 2024 05:56:52
Have u watched much of him stenova? he supposedly v good prospect, possibly 1st league of ireland player to go for e1m.
4.) 07 Oct 2024 13:04:53
Most recently as Friday in a local Derby v Rovers. He's a prospect and a very good league of Ireland player. in relation to some of the players we have I think he's a fair way behind. Best of luck to him and I hope he proves me wrong as I'd prefer to be cheering on one of our own (irish) :)
30 Aug 2024 10:29:19
Hello ed2 hope u well, thanks for your info over the transfer window period, v informative.
The Saudi transfer window closes sometime in October, can premier league players be sold to there after today? I. e could salah be sold to Saudi in September.
{Ed002's Note - Yes. They can be sold until the restristration date ends in the other country. Turkey, Middle East .....}
1.) 30 Aug 2024 13:41:02
Wouldn't massively surprise me if salah sold to saudi this window and chiesa is his replacement.
2.) 30 Aug 2024 13:55:18
Salah doesn't have to go, and risking covering him with a new player in a new league with injury form would be insanity.
3.) 30 Aug 2024 14:01:43
Salah has literally said he's not leaving, Digger. None of our main 5 forwards will be leaving this window now in my opinion because Slot also said Diaz is going nowhere. It looks to me like Chiesa was signed to allow Doak to go on loan without reducing our forward options. No doubt next summer when Salah does leave (seems likely after his comments about enjoying his last year) a decision will need to be made as to whether Doak and Chiesa have done enough this season to allow Salah to leave without a further replacement.
4.) 30 Aug 2024 14:05:40
Digger 10 It’s more likely Salah will see the season and hence his contract out and leave with a boat load of cash going direct to him rather than to the club to reinvest (like McManamam all those years ago) . Might be a club legend but there’s no altruism or blind loyalty when you can bank £50 mill! ???????????. More concerned about the Trent situation stagnation if honest ??????.
5.) 30 Aug 2024 14:28:11
Schultzy, I know Salah is Egyptian but there's no need to write your reply in hieroglyphics!
6.) 30 Aug 2024 14:54:23
I am not knocking down Chiesa and he could very well be a fantastic signing, but what you are saying is beyond the realm of reality and possibility. If we are so unbelievably stupid then there is no way up for this club ever again! Sorry, Chiesa is a complete unknown, we don't know if he will take to the PL, or how his form will translate over here, nothing he did last year suggests he could replace Salah at all. My only hope is his form is on an upwards trajectory and he could become a Potential Salah replacement next season if finds the Chiesa of 3 years ago. Because the Chiesa of last seasons is not good enough to replace the best RW in the world.
7.) 30 Aug 2024 15:10:16
The forwards are set, no issues there. In fact we could argue that’s as good a squad of forwards as there is in the game. The issues remain with other areas of the pitch.
8.) 30 Aug 2024 17:08:23
You do know that Chiesa last year wasn't even playing in his best position? Allegri stuck him as a sort of 10 centrally, when his best position is playing out wide as a traditional winger running at full backs. Judging him by his form last year when his entire team was underperforming in a rather conservative setup might not be the best idea, though he by no means performed terribly even when playing a position that isn't his favored one.
9.) 30 Aug 2024 17:26:29
Is the bridge between Luis Diaz and the club still burned or has the situation been remedied?
10.) 30 Aug 2024 17:33:58
Hopefully use are correct and salah stays as I think he will score bagful this season . we definitely need him.
09 Aug 2024 17:34:43
Hello ed2 hope u well. I see Billy koumetio has left to join Dundee. Do u know if we received a fee for that transfer? I've read several reports of him leaving but none state a figure or if it a free transfer.
{Ed002's Note - It will only be known when he is registered on the TMS.}
1.) 10 Aug 2024 01:37:55
It's the SPL mate, if we received a fee it would be £200k max, but almost definitely lower.
Will keep an eye on him this season, always thought he would come good at some point.
2.) 10 Aug 2024 09:10:37
Not sure Zubi and Baj or an either or.
There are a lot of games and we’ve seen the impact of injuries before (love Curtis but he’s had his share) .
Bajcetic is not ready to start but would learn a lot by staying. Those 2 plus A Mac, Jones, Szobo, Harv gives you 6 players across 3 positions. Ryan G might go?
I think Zubimendi, Gordon and Inacio will all be landed this month.
10 May 2024 13:41:32
Hello ed2 hope u well? Do u know of any lfc interest in Colwell of chelsea? R chelsea stance on selling him? We rumoured to be interested in him both now and previously. I checked search here but anything on him is going back a year.
{Ed002's Note - There was prior interest but Chelsea have no intention of selling regardless of some remaining interest from elsewhere.}
1.) 10 May 2024 18:12:47
Thanks for response. Would prefer branthwaite myself but Colwell looked good as well.
2.) 10 May 2024 18:23:51
Ed, I've read your summary on CB options that Liv is interested. It seems like there is no clear first choice for CB. Do you know if the club have their first choice CB? Or is it still to early to know?
{Ed002's Note - Inacio would have been first choice. Hincapie would be on the list. David Hancko would perhaps be an option.}
3.) 11 May 2024 13:33:56
Can’t understand why we didn’t sign Gvardiol last summer. We missed the boat on so many great young players that moved the last few years in positions we needed players. Gvardiol, Bellingham, Haaland, Tchouameni to name a few.
4.) 11 May 2024 16:36:31
Maybe because city did ??♂️.
5.) 12 May 2024 01:58:54
@OneKiss mostly because he didn’t want to sign for us. Nice you kept it under your hat until the last but one game of the season.

Hello ed1 hope u well I'm sure u r after good win last night!
As regards team for everton match, an extremely important game with it our game in hand, who would u start up front?
Nunez, who I thought played extremely well last nite, who would go 'toe to toe' upfront against evertons physical cbs or diaz who would drop more in2 midfield and possibly pull cbs I to positions they don't want to be in.
{Ed001's Note - Nunez every time for me. He offers me in the centre. Diaz should only be used as a back up there, behind Jota. He is a left winger and best playing there.}
1.) 07 Feb 2025 19:24:51
Could not agree more Ed Nunez will never reach is potential without a run of of at least 10 games in the team. But with Diaz we are so much better with a proper number 9 up there.
2.) 07 Feb 2025 19:58:58
Why 10 games?
02 Feb 2025 12:08:41
Hello ed1 hope u well. Would like your opinion on the forwards situation for the summer. i think there fare possibility there be movement outwards and there this summer.
As regards players going my opinion would be :
Jota= missing too many games unfortunately, really like him but just injured too frequently. good offer would have to be considered
Nunez = hasn't really worked out, a decent offer in summer and he will go, his willingness to speak to Saudis also I think shows he feels he needs fresh start
Salah= looking likely he will go at this stage, I don't think club at back of it all want to offer somebody of his age longer than a years contract
Diaz = constant speculation he wants to play in Spain
No way would we sell 4 but I think 2 will go. As regards incomings do you know is gordon still of interest? Chiesa+danns they hope will step up next season I presume, but I don't think u could be banking on either of them albeit good players. We would definitely need an addition who 'ready to go' as such.
{Ed001's Note - yes Gordon is still of interest.}
1.) 02 Feb 2025 15:33:44
Ed, do you think Gordon is seen as a number 9 by us? He’s some player - but we are stacked with left wingers.
{Ed025's Note - i personally dont think hes a No9 MS, hes not really robust or physical enough to play down the middle mate..
2.) 02 Feb 2025 16:25:56
I have to say I didn't think gordon would turn out to be as good a player as he is. really dangerous u don't want him on ball when he in opposition team. I'd go for him if diaz r salah goes.
3.) 02 Feb 2025 15:38:58
Ed1, what do you think to Gordon, good enough for us or? I don't rate him and never really understood the hype. I'm hoping we can do better than him but at the same time if he comes, who knows with our team he could turn out to be fantastic but from what I've seen I wouldn't want him anywhere near us.
{Ed001's Note - he offers versatility, pace & excellent work rate which are all big pluses. I have to say & am not keen though. Technically he is decent but not great. I wouldn't want him. He lacks top quality.}
4.) 02 Feb 2025 16:51:08
Do you not think Gordon is a bit too simplistic a footballer for how we play? I think Newcastle is just about his level.
5.) 02 Feb 2025 16:49:49
Sure a gust of wind would knock him over Ed025.He definitely needs more spuds in his diet.
{Ed025's Note - hes a good player Barry but he is a bit fragile at times, a good hard right back would put him up in the air first chance he got mate..
6.) 02 Feb 2025 18:18:42
He's more versatile and better than Diaz, for me.
7.) 02 Feb 2025 19:07:52
Who is Gordon better than, in our current forwards, for us to be considering him?
8.) 02 Feb 2025 20:55:20
Diaz and Nunez, ArAy. I'm still undecided on Gakpo and I like Jota as an impact player but how much impact can he have if he is unavailable.
I like Gordon and he is versatile.
I wouldn't want to spend a fortune on him though.
19 Jan 2025 20:15:13
Is there any advantage finishing 1st in champ league group til say 7th r 8th as regards your opponents in next round?
1.) 19 Jan 2025 20:56:09
On paper yes. Top plays lowest ranked qualifying team, 2nd plays 2nd lowest and so on.
But the likes of Real Madrid and City are likely to finish in those positions this year so not sure how much difference it makes.
2.) 19 Jan 2025 23:19:32
There are financial rewards for winning champions league matches.
3.) 20 Jan 2025 06:58:24
Thanks for responses. Well then I suppose u would want to finish top if possible. Still would like to see 3r4 changes tomorrow night.
4.) 20 Jan 2025 08:31:04
To win the champs league you have to beat the top teams. We are qualified so who cares where we finish now. Rest the lads win the next 3/ 4 league games and focus on champs after that. Think everyone’s preference is that we win prem anyway.
Imagine Salah or VVD get injured in a dead rubber champs league game. Or even Grav for that matter.
5.) 20 Jan 2025 12:44:08
Agreed Brummyred, Gravenberch should be nowhere near that game tomorrow. No Salah or VVD either. Give Endo, Chiesa and Quansah the minute instead. And I’d probably change more than just those 3 TBH.
10 Jan 2025 07:34:59
I'm sure loads of changes for tomorrow.
Kelleher bradley endo nallo tsimaskas. Mconnell nyoni elliott.
Cheisa nunez rio
I presume quansah out. Hopefully szobo will be fit to play some part, really would need him playing 30-45mins to get him ready for forest game.
1.) 10 Jan 2025 08:48:32
I think the front 3 against Forest will be Gakpo, Diaz, Salah so i wouldn't be surprised to see Jota start tomorrow (as long as he's off his mega drive) along with Nunez.
Nunez should play the full 90 as he's suspended on Tue night and he was very good against Spurs apparently (i missed a lot of the game)
2.) 10 Jan 2025 08:55:33
Quansah should be sold he isn't good enough.
3.) 10 Jan 2025 09:21:10
Mega Drive. What a blast from the past. Golden Axe II was the peak of video gaming! The OG Sonic games were class too. Games were savage then. No save points, if you died 4 hours in it was just tough. Start again punk.
I also liked the FIFA equivalent back then (forgotten proper the name) as you could run away from the ref if he tried to yellow card you!
What a cracking bit of Nostalgia, JK23!
4.) 10 Jan 2025 09:32:33
Fifa 94 that was MK lol.
I had to google it mind my memory isn't that good.
5.) 10 Jan 2025 09:55:22
Quansah is just about to turn 22, how many top, top defenders can you name at that age. We seem to have lost the ability to let players learn as they play.
He has made mistakes but has also done enough to be played when needed. I don't understand comments saying young players aren't good enough and should be sold.
How many posters can say at 21 they walked into a top job and made no mistakes along the way. Football fans seem to have lost patience with players development, although it wasn't long ago people were asking for the team to give youth a chance.
6.) 10 Jan 2025 09:56:13
Pro Evo I think may be what you mean MK - an absolute belter of a game. Although talking classic games - Double Dragon was always a winner!
7.) 10 Jan 2025 10:06:36
He isn't good enough and hasn't shown he will be good enough. Cost us in to many games already this year and last. He's a liability. Go get a decent defender in to compete with konate and gomez and sell or give Quansah away. Same with Jones. Absolute no good never going to make it.
8.) 10 Jan 2025 10:17:01
Italian 90 was serious.
9.) 10 Jan 2025 10:20:50
I remember playing "tennis" through the TV. I think it was binatone. Talking mid 70s. It ruined my football career. That and years of self abuse.
10.) 10 Jan 2025 11:18:23
Nunez was very good against Spurs?
I must have missed that game, too.
11.) 10 Jan 2025 11:29:43
International superstar soccer on the snes I believe, although I was more of an Fzero fan back then.
12.) 10 Jan 2025 11:32:59
Some players have absolute swagger, self belief, application and elite talent that you just know they’ll make it. Obvious ones have been Trent, Fowler, Gerrard, Mcmanaman, Owen. Likes of Carragher even, although he had less talent. With others the weight of the shirt is a bit too much, even though they’ve got most of what we need they’re not sure themselves and won’t make it.
13.) 10 Jan 2025 12:08:26
Rigsby I was just going off what was posted on here.
As I said I missed a lot of the game due to family commitments.
14.) 10 Jan 2025 12:16:19
Nomidfielders you're talking absolute bollocks. You state Quansah cost us so many times this season. He played in 10 games we only lost one of them and he wasn't even on the pitch when Tottenham scored. I'm surprised you're even able to tie your shoe laces in the morning making idiotic statements like that.
15.) 10 Jan 2025 12:29:05
JK, I know you missed it and it was aimed at those who are saying Nunez was very good against Spurs.
He wasn't. He had three efforts saved and two were less than half chances but one he certainly could have taken.
He wasn't awful but he wasn't very good either.
16.) 10 Jan 2025 12:33:41
Tut tut, sega megadrive? Joyce has just confirmed that it's a commodore 64 which keeps Jota up until all hours.
27 Dec 2024 00:40:15
Not at our v best but good 3pts.
Joe, mac + gakpo our best men I thought.
1.) 27 Dec 2024 09:27:45
Gakpo and Gomez definitely.
02 Feb 2025 08:23:52
That huijson looks a player ed1 on the limited bits I've seen of him. Have u seen much of him urself?
Only 19 I think.
{Ed001's Note - yes mate. Purely because I misheard his name as Hysen and thought he might be Glen's son, so I watched out for him in youth footie and after he moved to Serie A. I did say that Bournemouth had made a coup signing with him in the summer. I really rate him. In a couple of years, he could be the long term Virgil replacement.}
17 Jan 2025 17:09:18
Brilliant ed25 ????.
13 Jan 2025 20:35:19
Who do ye reckon of 1st team lads will go ed1?
{Ed001's Note - far too early to say for sure, a lot can change by the summer and a lot will depend on those 3 contracts.}
09 Jan 2025 18:26:34
Thanks for posting macca.
05 Jan 2025 08:13:32
Should've went for calafiori summer past, excellent player him imo.
07 Feb 2025 16:01:25
100% ed1. If there was 1 slight flaw to vvd game threw the years I felt he could be bit more aggressive, especially for a defender. He now has that and it's made him an even better player.
{Ed001's Note - I totally agree. He was always a bit too laid back, when he needed just a touch of aggression to make him complete. Now he has that and it has made a great defender just that bit greater.}
07 Feb 2025 10:16:23
I agree livered, nunez link up play last nite was excellent, best I've seen him. He Played v well overall in fairness to him, good 3r4 great defensive headers.
07 Feb 2025 10:13:55
Vvd's arm hit richarlison in the chest and he's goes down holding his face. Didn't hit him half hard enough if u ask me.
Vvd definitely more aggressive this season than I've seen him before, and he's all the better for it.
Best cb ever to put on boots.
{Ed001's Note - he is playing like a captain and like it matters to him. That is exactly what he should be doing and I am loving it. This is probably the best season of his career and that is a massively high bar to clear.}
07 Feb 2025 07:30:01
Mid eighties started watching them can't remember exactly why but my dad a big supporter so probably because he was I copied.
Absolutely fell in love with the football produced by the 87 team of barnes, aldo etc . Completely hooked then!
05 Feb 2025 10:04:22
I think from the November international break he's been excellent. Before that I thought he OK but could be better on the ball.
His workrate, power + pace crucial to us now imo. He also covers right flank really well when needed.
