awesome if we are after allison. He looks confident and assured. to be honest, goalkeeping skills aside, I feel that those kinds of characteristics are missing from our team. we come across a bit of a front-running team that performs at peak when the cards fall our way. be nice to have some guys that ooze class and confidence to play their game no matter what is in front of them. that's also what I like about shaqiri.
keep up the good work everyone. we've been trending in a positive direction for the last couple seasons now, it's really cool to see the growth of this team under Klopp and FSG.
1.) 18 Jul 2018 03:14:21
Its not happening. Another false dawn.
2.) 18 Jul 2018 04:07:42
The Alisson Becker seems too good to be true to me honestly. The club had made some great signings and strides towards the future. However, I find it highly unlikely after Klopp stating that Ward would have an opportunity to be the number 1 keeper. Some of you might say who cares, but that type of rep of not keeping your word can deter players from coming.
I can't see Roma letting their best player go either, especially since they are not under any financial restrictions anymore as when they sold Salah to us. They would not let Becker go with no replacement lined up either.
Why would the club sign another keeper don't we have three on the books already. Four if you include Bogdan even though he is out on loan.
3.) 18 Jul 2018 05:42:07
I think Alisson will be leaving Roma this window regardless. Whether that is to us is a different matter. But I think he wants to go.
4.) 18 Jul 2018 06:04:52
How can people be certain that klopp actually said this to ward and it’s not just paper tosh? How can people be so certain that ward so he’d rather move on and be no1 somewhere else?
People always find something to moan about even when they might finally be getting what they’ve been asking for 🙄.
5.) 18 Jul 2018 06:31:18
HarrytheRed, TBF its not the first time Klopp has lied to one of his players. Seems to be a pretty regular thing.
6.) 18 Jul 2018 06:34:09
Totally agree Faithinworks, the fact that we are making offers for players of this calibre are signs that the club is making massive strides forward in the transfer market. An area in the running of the club that has been a bit doubtful until recently.
If we got Alisson and Fekir, what a fantastic window this will have been. Can't wait to finally see Keita in action too - what a season this could be!
7.) 18 Jul 2018 06:48:24
Harry, this is Monchi we’re talking about.
You really think he won’t sell a GK for £60+ million?
Every player has a price for Monchi. He will definitely sell, it just depends on whether the player can agree with the successful bidder.
Monchi will sell, don’t worry about that.
8.) 18 Jul 2018 07:02:54
Klopp had plenty of previous with telling a player one thing and doing another, Ward is particular already knows about it. Either way, both Karius and Ward now know for sure that Liverpool will replace them if we can, they both know they're replaceable.
9.) 18 Jul 2018 07:14:21
Didn't ED001 confirm contact had been made? If Klopp and FSG weren't serious about wanting the lad, why bother contacting? This isn't a game you know. Karius, Ward and Migs are all still on the books, why upset them even more if you don't think you've got a realistic chance of doing a deal?
10.) 18 Jul 2018 07:17:35
Let’s be honest. lots of players have no loyalty to their managers and clubs either. They say one thing and do another. ( Coutinho! )
11.) 18 Jul 2018 07:40:40
@87Red
Spot. on!
12.) 18 Jul 2018 08:24:06
Surely all managers tell all players they have a chance of playing don’t they? Unless they want to get rid of them. Otherwise the players will have zero motivation.
13.) 18 Jul 2018 08:26:27
The “Ward opportunity to be no. 1” story just seems to be unfounded supposition. There seems to be no attributed or even unattributed source for this, just someone guessing. Until there’s a credible source for this, just ignore.
14.) 18 Jul 2018 09:07:48
Let’s be honest lads do you actually care who plays for the club and doesn’t and how much they cost cos I don’t we could play Kamil grabara in goal next season as long as he performs and the team do well who cares . It’s about the team not the individual . The board have obviously decided that with the keepers we have we aren’t strong enough to compete for the end goal .
Let’s just support the team and club no matter what 👌🏻.
15.) 18 Jul 2018 09:19:03
Dawkins i’m assuming it’s because klopp said he'll play longer than 45 minutes in the next friendly, the media put 2+2 together and got 5 as always lol.
16.) 18 Jul 2018 10:21:04
Brisbane LFC, why are you always so quick to accuse the LFC manager of lying? Please share any actual evidence - not hearsay or gossip - of when he has lied.
17.) 18 Jul 2018 11:15:45
Wirral, cos I don't think klopp is all that and I haven't fallen under his spel like many have.
18.) 18 Jul 2018 11:49:01
Brisbane, fair enough that you don’t rate Klopp but I just think repeatedly calling him a liar is going a bit far without the evidence to back it up. But I wouldn’t like to fall out with a fellow Red over it.
19.) 18 Jul 2018 13:34:18
This is a stupid thread.
26 Feb 2018 17:10:34
regards Jorginho - is that a rumour that has been verified?
Regards any type of player coming in to play that role in midfield. ACE! and honestly, I don't think it would matter who that player is. Anyone who is a little bit more tactically aware and can pass a decent ball will do wonders for the balance of our midfield allowing Hendo, Keita, gini etc to be the legs in the midfield. so whoever that player is, get him in! heck, bring lucas back to play that role!
1.) 27 Feb 2018 12:22:39
Faithinworks, we are looking to move forward with our progression towards trophies, bringing Lucas back in a starting role will hinder that. I trust whoever Klopp picks for midfield will be a great choice, his track record for signings is pretty impressive, he seems to know the exact type of player that suits his system!
19 Apr 2017 09:56:36
Eds, what's the play with young Allan Rodriguez. What are the chances he gets his permit next season. Are the club wanting to fight to keep him?
{Ed001's Note - the club would love to keep him, it is most likely he gets another loan move next season.}
1.) 19 Apr 2017 12:39:57
How good is he eds? Not seen much of him. Cheers.
{Ed001's Note - he is highly rated by the club and in Germany.}
2.) 19 Apr 2017 22:00:11
i know i was surprised that he managed to get loaned to a german team in the top league.
What would you say is the reason for him not getting much game time is it literally a case of him just not what the manager wants in his starting 11?
{Ed001's Note - he is young, still getting used to the country and not really ready to be a regular starter.}

eds - just regards Mane's yellow card for diving at the weekend. Can you clarify how they give these cards out? I thought it was for when a player simulates contact (i. e., dive) but is it more just to do with any instance of play-acting / exaggerating contact?
The replay showed clear contact, but just wondering what the framework is for judging simulation. thanks in advance!
{Ed001's Note - it is for simulation, so it can be for exaggerating contact or play-acting, just as much as for simulating contact. It is the down to the referee's interpretation.}
1.) 04 Nov 2019 09:52:41
ah k thanks ed1
must be a hard one to get consistent aye.
{Ed001's Note - I am not sure they are trying to be consistent.}
2.) 04 Nov 2019 10:37:44
then how in the world does Harry Kane not get booked every week?
{Ed001's Note - because he is English and that means it is clever play when he cheats. You must never have heard a pundit explain it.}
3.) 04 Nov 2019 11:25:28
It’s ridiculous to be honest - I’m not saying there’s any conspiracy theory as it’s gone for us as well as against, but Ed you’re exactly right that Kane trailed a leg to force contact against and win a penalty then went down easily and was hailed as ‘smart’, likewise Lamela went down easily against VVD and people said ‘why give him a chance to go down’ like it was the defenders fault.
It needs to be consistent whether either
1) any contact = a penalty or whether
2) regardless of contact the issue is all about if there was simulation
At the moment strikers also are also incentivised to go down on any contact because otherwise it’s too easy for the referee to play on. When Salah had arms wrapped around his neck on the weekend and didn’t go down, nothing was blown. What would have happened had he gone down? At least a VAR review.
4.) 04 Nov 2019 11:54:19
It's a no win situation a complete farce and the VAR ref should be sacked or maybe a post game card system for the VAR refs or some sort of penalty for ridiculous decisions for clear and obvious errors as they have technology and time and are not making split second decisions on the pitch.
5.) 04 Nov 2019 12:21:10
You're right Ed. I'll try to pay better attention in the future. The rules are really hard to follow.
{Ed001's Note - and you wonder why the refs keep getting them so wrong!}
6.) 04 Nov 2019 12:33:58
So VAR was double-checking the referees call on simulation NOT whether or not it was a penalty? Im guessing they slowed down Mane’s facial expression a few dozen times and micro-analysed the trajectory of his fall before backing the refs decision.
Meanwhile, the defender stepped on Sadios foot causing a tumble which should have been a penalty but because the ref couldn't see that in real time, VAR cannot call the foul?
I wish i could say this a little more eloquently but the way VAR is currently set up is utter b0ll0cks.
7.) 04 Nov 2019 16:42:44
Against Liverpool Kane went down under a challenge from lovren holding his face right in front of the linesman. The replay showed Lovren's hand touched his shoulder, nowhere near his face! Incidents like that are never mentioned and free-kicks or penalties dubiously won are called 'clever play' - others are called divers and cheats.
8.) 04 Nov 2019 17:17:52
Agree that VAR is a farce. However the whole situation around fouls and diving is a farce.
There is an argument that players should go down when touched to force the referee to make a decision because they are otherwise reluctant to give penalties on fouls where the player stayed on his feet. But that lends the players to over elaborate their falls, and hence the farce caused by Richarlison, Son, Mane and Salah with their over elaborate falls.
This is essentially a problem of ethics, and when there is an ethical dilemma, it's best to revert to the higher form of ethics and criticise people for their deception or ineptitude and it is important to not justify one wrong with another. So at this stage I feel it is best that we unashamedly bash cheats and dramatic divers as well as referees who don't give fouls when the player made an honest attempt to stay on his feet. Also we should not get tribal and justify Mane's pathetic fall with what Kane or Lamela or Dele Alli did 2 seasons ago.
Trust is the most important part of the society and we cannot accept cheating for tribal reasons. But it should be said that it's the referees who were first to violate the trust because of the lack of transparency in their decision making and dubious explanations. We need somebody with some balls at the head of the refereeing associations to come out and appeal to the footballing fraternity that trust needs to be rebuilt from all sides: from referees in their transparency, from players in their theatrics, and from fans and pundits in their criticism about immoral or inept behaviour.
9.) 04 Nov 2019 19:26:47
For years referees have failed to give fouls/ penalties when the player stays on his feet. And that is why they go down easily. A foul is a foul. And a foul in the penalty area is a penalty.
Players go down to make sure that they get one.
10.) 04 Nov 2019 19:27:33
Stone, it is simple. English pundits see English players as sacred lambs who cannot nor must not be held accountable for their actions. When Kane/ Sterling, Alli etc cheat, they are actually hailed as clever players. When foreign players are clearly fouled and decisions not given, they literally blame the victim.
Kane dives the moment you do as much as just look in his direction and his acolytes will call it smart/ clever play. When Origi is clearly fouled by Lindelof and went down, they said "He was looking for it" or "He had lost his touch so was trying to con the ref" hence, blame the victim. Go figure.
11.) 04 Nov 2019 23:43:23
Reds VAR works perfect it is the gobrubbish who is watching the screen bobbies goal VAR showed onside the person in the room said his arm pit offside the system is right the so called ref is wrong but saying that the ref in question is known to do something to out shine the footballers as I said a go rubbish.
12.) 05 Nov 2019 10:12:33
Why do we not complain so much about players claiming for a throw when they’ve clearly just kicked it out themselves? It’s cheating yet goes unpunished and unmentioned. Pulling of shirts, blocking and grabbing at set pieces. Cheating yet widely accepted and very rarely punished. Time wasting, foul throws, Fernandinho fouls (other know as professional fouls), these are all cheating yet don’t get mentioned much yet someone goes down too easily and we go mad! Why?
18 Aug 2019 12:36:17
in any given game when we are up 1-0 we alwqys want the second goal to 'kill' the game. well we got the second goal and it did the job. nothing is easy in this league but you deserve everything you work for.
well done lads. too early to be calling things an acid test. Don't know how much I can put up with reading acid test and must win for the next 8 months hahahaha
just keep racking up the points lad in anyway. YNWA.
1.) 18 Aug 2019 21:07:17
Faith, I fully agree BUT as they say, "2-0 is a very dangerous score line" and that was again proven vs Saints. That game could have easily ended had Ings not fluffed his lines. Our boys did do a lot of graft in the 2nd half and scored the second goal (could have score more) BUT all that can get undone with one error leading to a goal and then, its 2-1 with 10 mins to go and the nerves go apes**t. All in all, we got the 3 points and I'd rather be us than be City who had 30 shots (10 on target) vs Spurs and only got a point.
2.) 18 Aug 2019 23:56:31
lets not forget the sitter bobby missed before he scored and the chance salah passed up, plus Gunn made good saves from Mane and Robbo, given the circumstances and the fact that this was Southampton's first home game of the season, I am more than happy with the result.
I agree that we have plenty to improve on but 11 consecutive wins in the premier league is something to be pleased about, once all the factions of the side click into gear, we will take some beating.
Not bad for a team with a crap midfield and a even worse defence! how do we keep getting away with it? becoming European champions, getting 97 pts, winning the super cup, 100% start this year, long may it continue.
We all would have taken the result before the match, now we can freshen up before the arsenal match.
This is a good time to be a Liverpool fan. let's enjoy it.
3.) 19 Aug 2019 02:17:20
Good post kingkenny7. Winning 3 points is the objective for us to achieve before each game and as long as we keep getting them wins I'm happy.
4.) 22 Aug 2019 09:56:14
fair redwolf. altho I always felt lile that saying about 2-0 was driven by people who want guarantees lol. 2-0 is better than 1-0 altho subjectively they probably feel about as dangerous as each other lol.
09 Aug 2019 06:25:10
Bit surprised we haven't seen anyone ask Ed's about the free agent market and who we might sign.
Window shut. League opens tomorrow. can't wait!
1.) 09 Aug 2019 08:27:27
Hahaha. Yes we really need Balotelli, Sturridge, Ben Arfa, Bony, Ribery and Markovic. They would save our season!
2.) 09 Aug 2019 07:15:37
Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought the window is effectively a window to register new players rather than a transfer window as such. Therefore we can’t sign free agents?
{Ed001's Note - free agents who became free before the window shut can move outside of the window.}
07 Aug 2019 12:18:05
how much revenue do you think Liverpool fans generate for online media just by sheer traffic . . . lol
on a more serious note, bring the new season on! I'm in the camp that fully believes we have more than enough players for the season.
the way I see it, we have about 11 players for the 6 positions from midfield to attack. and in that group of 12 there is enough flexibility to make necessary adjustments, rotate, fill in for injuries etc etc
fullbacks are the one area I think we still need cover but maybe our youngsters will provide that. and to be fair, I am ok promoting from within versus spending millions for the sake of it.
7am Saturday morning kick-off is perfect here in new Zealand and with 5 and 1 yr old boys! can't wait!
1.) 07 Aug 2019 12:56:48
We haven't signed a single player and I bet the Liverpool page on here has still been the busiest page of the clubs 😂.
2.) 07 Aug 2019 14:00:44
Apart from the three we have signed that is.
3.) 07 Aug 2019 14:03:56
That's just people looking to get the RTFP replys.
14 May 2019 22:48:56
just read the article and seen the video of the city players singing their version of Allez. actually gross man and have lost a lot of respect for them. Would have lost all respect, but there is a bit of me that reflects on them being brain dead footballers fueled up on alcohol probably having no concept of the words they are singing. hope we slay em next time out!
onto other news, super proud of our team. Guttered to miss out on the prem and my feeling is that if we can look at one area where we lost the title, then the fair games to look in this season are the match ups with City where we picked up just 1 point vs their 4. Fine margins aye!
THe champions league final is so far away and so much could happen by then. We may have confirmed Greizman's signing by then! lol, I know I know ed2, we'll ahve to seel salah or mane and rah dee dah, but perhaps for once we could have a luxury player on the bench y'know!?
Anyways, big ups to everyone best of luick to the site and hope you get the funding you need. For simply sharing your time, knowledge and experience with us, you deserve to be supported and kept afloat.
Nga mihi (with blessings)
1.) 15 May 2019 00:09:42
Totally agree with you mate sorry but city have got no class they scraped the the league by one point and dies anyone think sterling might want to rejoin the Liverpool I mean he's got no chance of winning the champions with city 😁😁.
2.) 15 May 2019 00:15:25
Swear I heard it during villa and West Brom too.
3.) 15 May 2019 00:26:10
Would’ve taken Greizmann back when I think we were linked with him in his sociedad days. But wouldn’t want him at the club now. He for me is what is wrong with footballers now adays. He’s an extremely talented player but seems more concerned with his stupid hair videos about which club he’s going to be at. How much arrogance can one person contain. He’s basically come out and said he’s joining Barcelona now. But guessing that could be reliant on them selling Coutinho or getting a few heavy wages off their bills.
4.) 15 May 2019 01:36:15
Im sorry its just that being in alcohol nd flying in plane is bad so i lost my all of respect there.
5.) 15 May 2019 02:20:32
Saw that as well. Pretty dissapointing. I don't get the gloating either, be happy yes but you got by with one point and you got the boot from the champions league so.
Let's get that trophy!
6.) 15 May 2019 02:55:05
I don’t like that song and this episode confirms my view.
Anytime we adapt another team’s song it always ends up 💩
We have better songs than this, just singing “allez” 🙄😴.
7.) 15 May 2019 06:25:34
Imitation is the highest form of flattery though. Just shows a lack of imagination from other fans whilst our lads keep churning out belters.
8.) 15 May 2019 08:16:30
Catchy tunes have limited life spans these days before being copied. However some just stick with the original club. The Allez song came via Porto if I’m not mistaken and YNWA wasn’t original. Both songs stuck with us.
I’m not sure where the Si Señor (Bobby Firmino) song came from but Wolves have already copied it.
No doubt Tottenham fans will be copying our Madrid song next.
Have to keep changing. Anyone heard Mane’s new song?
9.) 15 May 2019 08:47:59
The madrid one is really catchy.
10.) 15 May 2019 09:01:36
What Madrid song? I sure the wife keep's sedating me so I don't learn anymore song's.
11.) 15 May 2019 10:46:59
it just goes to show that you can't buy class.
{Ed002's Note - The class that led to a very significant pay out by the club for a coach smashed up by fans and a second one for a driver injured by fans?}
12.) 15 May 2019 19:14:13
There's always a small percentage of fans, at every club, who behave like arses. It is, however, unusual to see players, especially at the very elite level, display such boorish behaviour so openly, especially by singing a song with both connotations to a fan being put in a coma, as well as links to the infamous 'always the victim its never your fault' chant which is a thinly veiled reference to the Hillsborough incident.
I don't expect any better from moron fans, and there are just as many idiotic morons supporting Liverpool as there are others - incidents like the bottle throwing one, the pushing of people into fountains in Barcelona, like lighting and chucking flares - these reflect badly on the club and I hope these morons are held to account and banned if legally allowed.
However, it was not Liverpool players doing these sorts of things or, to relate it to City, singing these vile songs about another team. Surely, as ambassadors of the club, and role models for the community as a whole, these players have a responsibility to behave better than the fans who follow them? I respect your opinion a lot ED, but I do not think that the poor behaviour of Liverpool fans is comparable to the the actions of City in this case. I'm not saying one is worse than the other, simply that what City did was not only in very poor taste but also completely unnecessary. I don't expect fans to stay classy in victory or defeat, but I thought players respected their opponents? Apparently not. Very unsavoury and it does reflect very badly on them. The response from the club was also very lukewarm and seemed to fail to understand why such behaviour should of been condemned.
08 Nov 2019 09:30:16
but you're secretly hoping one of the eds verifies this in the positive aye. lol :p.
03 Nov 2019 21:57:56
jut watch the last one. l doubt anything has changed!
25 Oct 2019 10:08:35
Ox will be good for some games, hendo for others . . .

Whatever the number is it will be matched by the disclaimer "havent been here for a while. "
24 Sep 2019 14:44:46
Ages ago when this came up my view was that it'd be good to stick with Nb, who came in board when we were avg and have steadily increased each renewal. I like their kits, if they can match the money then I'm ok with them. Not sure about the whole global reach thing, but that feels a bit like we're squabbling of pennies somehow. Anyways, hope we keep good relationships whatever we do.
12 Nov 2019 08:26:36
well it would be truly historic if we kept this run up. we're on pace for a 107 point season. but reality and law of averages would suggest we are sue a dip at some point. May just come down to how manage those and not drop points in bunches.
11 Nov 2019 01:23:27
true, and he did alright really. Had one of Europes biggest threats speeding towards him and managed to do a job for us. Well done I say.
08 Nov 2019 09:31:31
remember when Klopp use to exhort the fans inside the stadium and then in the pressers to stay with the team right to the last second? looks like after all these years that is finally starting to bear fruit. it's pretty cool to see it play out.
04 Nov 2019 09:52:41
ah k thanks ed1
must be a hard one to get consistent aye.
{Ed001's Note - I am not sure they are trying to be consistent.}
04 Nov 2019 09:38:54
well, at least he won't be behind the monitor.
