Hi Ed001, there’s a thread a bit further down about where Wirtz will play.
I know this was discussed when he signed a fair bit, but now the dust has settled on his signing how do you think Slot will look to use him?
The idea of Salah and Gakpo playing a bit narrower and Wirtz playing just behind, with Kerkez and Bradley/ Frimpong offering the width seems to make some sense.
This would also allow the Szob/ Mac/ Grav midfield to stay intact.
What’s your view? No worries if you’d prefer not to revisit. Thanks.
{Ed001's Note - I think it will vary depending the opposition. Slot won't just play one way, we have seen that.}

Thanks for the reply Ed.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}

I would love to see Gakpo developed into more of a central attacker. Thought he would be out natural Bobby successor but it just never seems to happen for him. definitely prefer him to Diaz on the left though, and not just saying that cus of Diaz wanting out, I just think Gakpo is the more complete player of the two.

Gakpo played as a CF under Klopp and was bang average. He’s then played on the left for Holland and us, been great… has had one injury and he needs moulding into a CF? Nah he’ll be our starting LW for me next year.

I wonder if Sky will be panning to Frimpong and Wirtz in the stands at the game tomorrow. ??.
1.) 23 May 2025 22:46:44
Or Sunday even, so excited I lost a day! ??♂️.

Can’t believe how weak the EPL is this season. ?.
1.) 15 Apr 2025 22:43:46
It really is Footy. It there really any point in winning it mate ?.
2.) 15 Apr 2025 23:12:31
We really shouldn't count it in our tally, when we do win it.
3.) 16 Apr 2025 02:12:04
Not really, its quite strong on contrary because as potential league winner, we still manage to hold PSG to 1-1 draw albeit outplayed over 2 legs, conceding 20 over shots on target and finally losing in penalties, suffering so much we lost league cup final to most form team in europe now Newcastle. Its still quite strong league.
4.) 16 Apr 2025 04:12:40
I’m sure many rival club supporters can’t believe we’re winning the league again, it’s a shame for them that they’ve performed so badly this season. It’s an even bigger shame they have to come on here telling us about it.
5.) 16 Apr 2025 06:55:34
The irony is that the overall quality of the league bar a few teams is much stronger which is why we’re seeing so much inconsistency and supposed upsets.
We’re the only team to have shown any form of consistency.
I know we won’t win all of our remaining games, but if we did we’d finish on 94 points which is up there with the seasons people are slighting us against.
6.) 16 Apr 2025 07:16:06
Glad to see that Leek didn't miss the sarcasm on the OP saying the prem is weak! ??.
7.) 16 Apr 2025 11:58:15
I agree @Shaq. The chasing pack have closed the gap to a certain extent and the ‘team to beat’ have actually become bearable - at least until the sponsorships arrive just before the transfer windows this summer. I think the season has surprised people who had set expectations of what was going to happen before the season started.
8.) 16 Apr 2025 12:51:22
I think the league has been strong what people are not taking into consideration that the so called bottom half teams are beating teams from the top half which is great for the league up until this season most football fans could name the top six nearly every season and the bottom three this year we can not say for sure what the top six may be and look at ipswich fighting to stay up from bottom three . So for the people saying it is a poor league i think your wrong it has been a fairer playing field for many many seasons.

Very interested to hear your views on the ref's performance tonight Ed25? Remember you always pride yourself on your honesty.
{Ed025's Note - i thought it was a fair result to be honest FF, maybe you were the better side overall but we gave our all and i dont think anyone can argue with the outcome, it was befitting the occasion i would say mate..
1.) 13 Feb 2025 11:53:14
Thanks for the reply Ed. A very entertaining game, but highlights just how poor the officiating is in the country for me. Can’t wait for AI refs.
{Ed025's Note - the ref was poor FF, most of them are these days mate..

Have I missed something, has Trent already said he’s going? Some very strange posts on here the last few days.
1.) 03 Jan 2025 01:21:01
You know what it’s like on here. Always fear the worst and shout from the rooftops about who is to blame.
If it doesn’t happen they’ll all crawl back under their rocks until they make up something else to moan about.
If it does happen we’ll be hearing I told you so and I don’t care anyway because he can’t defend for the next few weeks.
2.) 03 Jan 2025 01:39:23
Madrid putting in a charitable offer, Lineker and Shearer pre-emptively defending him if he leaves as a headline on bbc. Looks a lot like its happening.
3.) 03 Jan 2025 05:40:12
The problem is Trent himself hasn’t come out to silence the noise, if he came out and said he is going to stay till the end of the season and he’ll speak on his future then it wouldn’t be such a circus right now, to be fair Madrid have put him in a terrible position with the fans, I’m really hoping his camp didn’t give Madrid the green light to do something so disastrous.
4.) 03 Jan 2025 08:03:12
@PB, to be fair TAA did actually say that the negotiations wouldn’t be discussed in public, which is fair enough.
5.) 03 Jan 2025 08:29:18
PatrikBurgher, that is not a problem, IMO. The guy said at the beginning of the season that he would not say squat about his contract situation nor will he personally play the whole thing out in the media and that is exactly what he is doing. Or do you think there would not have been a circus if he spoke with every word being micro analysed? Come on, you know how this work, man. The circus is here cos RM put a bid in, one they know we would NEVER accept. that's it, IMO.
For me the real problem is that people have NO patience anymore to allow things to play out. They hang on any single thing someone says in the media that suits whatever opinion they already have on the topic, sadly. This is where @Beckers and the OP are correct, IMO.
The kid ain't talking as the OP has said and in these situations, everyone now comes out and speaks for him, as if Shearer and Lineker know a damn thing about what is really happening. Im over it, personally.
6.) 03 Jan 2025 09:50:21
I disagree with the whole he doesn't owe us anything . of course he does, we picked him up as a 6year old n nurtured him n gave him all the tools to make him the player he's become, made him a multi millionaire . no born n bred scouser should EVER leave their home club out of pocket, we are going to lose millions of £££s if he goes n it's still a big IF that he does leave.
7.) 03 Jan 2025 10:40:06
Only Liverpool can make a contract renewal feel like a new signing without it actually being a new signing.
8.) 03 Jan 2025 12:43:55
Trent has said as much as he should and has needed to so far.
Not up to him to say nothing to quieter anything. The noise is out f his control. What people really want is reassurance and Trent can’t and shouldn’t give that in public.
Trent doesn’t owe the club anything. He’s won everything for the club. There are plenty of players the club has chewed up and spat out over the years so is what it is.
14 Jul 2025 10:30:07
To be fair Ron, I think the chaos reference was more to do with the chaos he caused to opposition defences, which is a genuine positive, and I wouldn’t want that to change.
However, I think you’re right, and there’s too much chaos in his own head when in front of goal.
If they could sort that out I think he’d be a superb player.
02 Jul 2025 19:46:19
Didn’t you also say there was no way at all that we would sign Wirtz mate?
Not having a go, but you do tend to be on the negative side.
28 Jun 2025 10:07:46
Thanks for sharing ASH. Please keep doing so, ignore the ITK bashers.
28 Jun 2025 00:03:07
I’m with you W0W. Surely it’s not that difficult to express an opinion about a player without being disrespectful.
21 Jun 2025 00:53:33
I’m with you Skezza. RD you’ve taken ed025’s bait.
Never change Ed.
{Ed025's Note - never likely to FF, like most people im very opinionated and will give my verdict on players when asked, you may not like it but that doesn,t bother me really, i will throw the odd grenade in to spark debate of course but generally these are my honest views mate..
13 Jul 2025 07:58:26
No, that time was about 10 years ago.
Acceptance is probably where they need to be now.
09 Jul 2025 17:37:00
Thanks for the reply Ed.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}
03 Jul 2025 00:24:00
You do realise that trying to make fun of poster’s names isn’t comedy 007 don’t you?
It’s basically bullying, really poor bullying, but bullying none the less.
01 Jul 2025 17:35:26
I don’t remember anyone saying that we will sign these players, just that they are options.
Not all players that Liverpool have interest in will sign.
I for one am glad that people share information.
30 Jun 2025 22:29:48
Hopefully he can Ron, personally I find that information quite interesting.
