Very, very impressed with today's performance. Disciplined, and most of the players looked really happy. Intriguing interview with VVD, by Sky, after the match. Wouldn't be surprised if he moves to Real Madrid, after this season, for one last hurrah. It would probably suit him and I think that he would do really well under Ancelotti. Fingers crossed for our future under Arne.
1.) 25 Aug 2024 20:48:16
Think he wants us to make him an offer.
2.) 25 Aug 2024 20:58:01
You’re almost egging him on to leave. If he’s good enough for Real we should be keeping him.
3.) 25 Aug 2024 21:03:56
John Henry at the game today. Not sure if we can read too much into that.
Hopefully he’s over to get the 3 contracts sorted otherwise there’s a lot of capital walking out of his door for free.
4.) 25 Aug 2024 22:14:59
Isn't it a case that Ancelotti leaves Madrid end of the season?
5.) 25 Aug 2024 23:10:07
Negative, he is signed on till 2026.
6.) 25 Aug 2024 23:15:55
Real Madrid is bigger than Ancelotti though no matter who is in charge.
7.) 25 Aug 2024 23:40:14
Looked like he couldn’t control a smile to me, maybe like something may already be in place and just dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s - would do Branthwaite good having VVD as a mentor for 2 years ?.
8.) 26 Aug 2024 00:30:25
Salah VVD and TAA's contracts are up, what do you want to happen? We can't make them stay or move on.
Would there be all this hysteria if Salah and VVD retired at the end of the season?
They could even retire and come out of retirement and sign with another club.
We don't own these players.
9.) 26 Aug 2024 00:37:23
Did you buy John a pint jk?
10.) 26 Aug 2024 01:48:23
Trent's attitude is actually ideal provided he respect's Slot's decision and accepts that the latter is in charge. Players being annoyed to come off is a good thing, never bad, provided they are mature enough to understand why it happened.
11.) 26 Aug 2024 02:40:58
I still can't work out if we've not offered Salah, Trent and VVD contracts or they've chosen not to sign them. Maybe a 3rd option of us not offering because they are unlikely to sign.
Either way, it hurts my head to think about it and not have an idea which one it is.
12.) 26 Aug 2024 06:57:35
No, Frode, not egging him on to leave But Virgil is an intelligent guy, who will be thirty-four, by the start of the 2025/ 26 season. I imagine that his goal will be to play in the 2026 World Cup, in the US.
The Premier League is a particularly physical one and I am sure that he knows his body better than anybody. He is at an age, where he will likely become increasingly susceptible to major and minor injuries and there is more risk of this occurring in the Premier League than La Liga, imho.
Ed002 previously suggested some interest from Real. I could imagine that VVD would be driven by the new challenge at a team like Madrid and he is definitely an Ancelotti type player. I think that he would be completely wasted in Saudi, at this stage and I think that he is too intelligent for that. Maybe an option after the World Cup, if he is interested in pursuing that path but I can't see that it makes sense before the World Cup.
I would love him to stay for at least a couple more years but whilst he spoke positively about the coming season, there was no hint that his thoughts went beyond this, in contrast with what Allison said during his interview. Perhaps I am reading too much into things and I hope that I am, as I think that he is one of the best players that we have ever had. Time will tell.
13.) 26 Aug 2024 08:10:05
I think VVD will leave at the end of the season.
14.) 26 Aug 2024 08:41:50
Everything in life has an expiry date. No different in football.
15.) 26 Aug 2024 09:08:51
No I just gave him yours.
16.) 26 Aug 2024 11:37:54
At 34 come the start of next season, is it a good footballing/ business decision to keep him and at what wages? When you frame it like that then, I doubt the sense in that on the face of it.
19 Nov 2023 08:27:15
Assuming you've read it, what do you think of Roberto Firmino's new book, 'SÍ SEÑOR: My Liverpool Years'?
1.) 20 Nov 2023 13:25:32
Apparently no one reads around here Kloppite! :D
Have you read it? What did you think?
12 May 2019 18:05:07
Incredible season, one of the very best in the 45 years that I have been following the club.
Just hope that we can seal it with a victory in the Champions League but it's going to be really tough. If we play to the best of our ability, we will win it but it's a big if and if we fail, then it will be much more disappointing than today's result, as it will have been in our hands.
In terms of next season, I really think that this will be the one, especially if we can hold on to the current players and bring in Brandt from Leverkusen.
Was expecting to feel downcast after today but, in fact, have not felt more optimistic for a long time. Allez les rouges!
1.) 12 May 2019 18:23:32
Agree with all that Kloppite.
06 Jan 2018 19:08:12
Just posted on the official LFC site:
'Liverpool Football Club today issued the following statement regarding the future of Philippe Coutinho.
Liverpool FC can confirm Philippe Coutinho will be leaving the club after a transfer agreement was reached with FC Barcelona, subject to medical and agreement of personal terms.
The player now has permission to complete the usual formalities to conclude the transfer immediately. '
Onwards and upwards, I say. Should be a fun ride with Der Kloppmeister.
1.) 06 Jan 2018 19:14:14
400 million pound buy out clause. And we've sold him for 140 pathetic.
2.) 06 Jan 2018 19:18:10
hahahahaha liverpoolfc8 is that a windup? the player wanted to leave, and we just got the 2nd largest fee for a player ever, behind neymar. He's a good player but he was a wantaway and was being a total tit. I say good business by the club and so long farewell.
3.) 06 Jan 2018 19:23:06
Good luck to him we will miss him but I’m sure we will survive just wonder why the change in stance midway through the season.
4.) 06 Jan 2018 19:24:30
They’re not going to buy for £140 million and put a buy out of £100 million are they?!
I see the FSG bashing has begun!
5.) 06 Jan 2018 19:39:22
Be glad when the talk on pipco stops and we can concentrate on players and challenging top 4.
6.) 06 Jan 2018 19:32:00
Tj red, what about mbappe?
7.) 06 Jan 2018 19:53:33
Liverpoolfc8 we paid around 8 million. And sold for 145 million. Which is roughly 18x the price we paid. Barcelona brought for 145 MIL and would release at 360 MIL, roughly 2.5x what they paid. What is pathetic about getting a huge re sale profit on a player that has 0% interest in pulling on the shirt again.
25 Oct 2017 14:22:14
Academy player, Rhian Brewster, has just scored a hat-trick for England against Brazil, in the semi-final of the under-17 World Cup in India. Let's hope that he has a very bright future with us in the years to come and good luck to him and England in the final.
1.) 25 Oct 2017 14:28:22
I'll go with that kloppite. Sounds promising.
2.) 25 Oct 2017 14:38:38
Scored a hat trick in the quarters as well. He has a lot of potential.
3.) 25 Oct 2017 14:46:53
He's on fire at the moment, well played kid.
4.) 25 Oct 2017 14:49:00
Consecutive hat tricks and been playing well in u23’s too. Looks a very useful player with good pace and movement, with the knack to be in right place at right time, create a half yard on his market and a clinical finish.
Hopefully his development continues.
5.) 25 Oct 2017 15:20:37
Best thing about him is he plays like Firmino. As in he presses from the front, links up in deeper positions and can play some deft passes and flicks in and around the penalty area. Difference is, he seems to be naturally sharper in front of goal.
If he carries his goal scoring record into senior football it'd be amazing but I'm holding off on being hopeful of his future for now. He has only played at youth levels thus far and you only have to look at Mellor, Nemeth, Morgan, or Sinclair to know that it is a whole different kettle of fish when you step up to play with men. Hopefully he gets a chance to prove himself over the next 12-24 months because he is a class above nearly everyone in his age category. He's been playing u23's since he turned 16, so the u17's WC was always going to be easy picking for him. It is beneath him to be honest, but fair play to him for being grounded enough to just want to play football, regardless of the level of opposition!
6.) 25 Oct 2017 15:40:57
Sinama pongolle got the golden boot at the U17 wc once.
7.) 25 Oct 2017 15:54:11
Very good point Benny. Men's football is just so much harder. That's why i have faith in Arnold, Woodburn, Solanke, Gomez and Grujic though. They've shown signs they can cope with it.
Arnold has looked assured on the ball, lethal from set pieces, and physically capable since stepping up into the first team on a regular basis. Though he is no right back, long term.
Woodburn has already scored in competitive senior games, and against top opposition in pre-season.
Solanke has scored goals in the Dutch first division at 18 and also against top opposition in pre-season for us.
Gomez was Charlton's best player by 18 and is already our best centre back in my opinion.
Grujic led Red Star Belgrade to the title, and has also performed well against top teams in pre-season.
So far there is no evidence to suggest that Brewster will cope with the step up. So whilst i would love it if he did, i will avoid any hype so i don't disappoint myself if he can't adapt! Does he deserve a chance though? Definitely.
8.) 25 Oct 2017 15:59:19
Well done to him but remember he might just have developed quicker than others. Let's not hail him as the greatest starlet just yet. Leave him to his craft and keep a quiet eye on him.
9.) 25 Oct 2017 16:37:49
Good point sbout those players Mk but sadly none of them except Gomez will get enough games to show their talent.
I feel Gurij is the next Markovic.
10.) 25 Oct 2017 16:47:05
Sounds like he has that instinct that can't be taught. That killer, goal scoring instinct that fowler had for example. Let's hope he has that professionalism that is just as important. He does sound promising though.
Does anyone know how that youngster we bought in the summer is doing? I can't rememberhis name but he looked like a little boy in the press conference. From eastern Europe I think. Was quite a big thing made of it so I thought he must be good.
11.) 25 Oct 2017 17:12:36
Good news is Woodburn signed a new long term contract :)
12.) 25 Oct 2017 18:43:17
Great news about woodburn. Hopefully he gets a few mins soon.
13.) 25 Oct 2017 20:16:19
England under 17s are managed by Steve Cooper who use to be liverpool under 18s Coach/ Manager left two years ago. Think Jurgen kicked him out of the door he also lost on penalties in European under17s FINAL this summer to Spain, who they could face in Final .
14.) 26 Oct 2017 01:35:36
Superred you may be talking about Tagseth? He’s playing no.8 for u18’s and doing well by all accounts.
In the u18’s/ u19’s I really like the look of Adam Lewis (converted from midfield and looking like an excellent LB now, and Camacho too. Jones and Millar look useful too.
U23’s have a few but I reckon Wilson, Dhanda, Virtue, Masterson, may all get a shot at some point.
We have a lot of talent at the academy but clearly there are only so many slots available and the step up is huge. I hope we arrange some strong loans next summer to get some of these kids some professional football at a place that will actually play them.
15.) 26 Oct 2017 05:49:23
Owen burst on scene too at 18yo. So it can be.
24 Feb 2024 09:54:45
I wonder who else may be under consideration, besides the ones mentioned above? Surprised that Unai Emery and Diego Simeone's names do not seem to be in the frame and whilst highly unlikely, given his current role, somebody like Luciano Spalletti would be an interesting option.
{Ed002's Note - The club has taken advice and is down to a short-list - they will not want to look further unless they have to.}
23 Feb 2024 08:43:22
It's a bit of fun, I think, VV. All valid points that you make, although I disagree regarding Ancelotti. I have no issue with the links to Everton but then I am from an era, when there was no animosity towards our neighbours and I still hold true to those values. Life's too short.
23 Feb 2024 07:37:08
Interesting article on the BBC (don't think that I am allowed to post the link), which posted the results of an analytics company into who would be most suited to take over from Klopp. In order of suitability, the results were:
Amorim
Nagelsmann
Tuchel
Postecoglou
Alonso
de Zerbi
Maybe if Madrid are so keen on Alonso, a deal can be done, with Ancelotti taking over at Anfield? Just joking, I think but I have always wondered how Ancelotti would have done as the Liverpool manager.
02 May 2018 15:58:26
Welcome back, Ed02. Hopefully your return is permanent. Let's have a virtual glass of red to celebrate your return! I am sure that you will be cheering us on tonight, so all's good. Take care.
18 Jan 2025 07:42:59
Actually, need to add a third. Can't believe that I forgot it. Origi's and Liverpool's fourth goal, in the 2019 Champions League semi-final. The quick thinking of TAA, at the corner, and then Origi's clinical finish, together with the culmination of the comeback must make this one of the greatest ever Liverpool goals!
18 Jan 2025 07:37:48
Two for me. Gerrard's long range scorcher against Olympiakos, in the 2004/ 5 Champions League winning season, which took us through to the next stage, when it looked like we were going out. The Andy Gray commentary was iconic.
Second one is Tommy Smith's header, in the 1977 European Cup Final, rising like a salmon, to take us into a 2-1 lead, after being under the cosh, following Allen Simeonson's equaliser for a very strong Borussia Mönchengladbach side. Great commentary from the legendary Barry Davies, too. What a night that was!
18 Jan 2025 07:18:43
No, WDW3, went from Huddersfield to City, then Torino and then United. Don't worry, I thought the same as you, too, until I read the tribute on the BBC website.
I only saw him play in highlight reels but what a player and always came across as a decent and generous man, when interviewed. He will be missed.
12 Nov 2024 18:31:46
Not sure that it's a position that we're desperate to cover, at the moment but I really like what I have seen of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Unfortunately, Napoli are a nighhtmare to deal with, so I don't expect to see him here anytime soon.
20 Oct 2024 19:23:07
I actually thought that it was a great watch, played like a game of chess. Two tightly matched teams but Liverpool shading the finer margins. I like watching games, where I don't feel like I am at risk of a heart attack, several times throughout the game. This was our first real test in the Premier League, against an excellent Chelsea team, who will finish top four, I believe. Great result and great performance.
{Ed025's Note - i thought it was as boring as hell to be honest Kloppite, your analogy to a chess game was about right i would say mate, very slow and laborious game with passing for passing,s sake...most of them backwards, a win is a win though and i suppose thats the aim even though it was a very hard watch for the neutral..
