Hi Edās
Do you have any info about kesiktas wanting to cancel karius loan?
{Ed002's Note - There may be a possibility of it happening but it is complex.}
1.) 28 Oct 2019 20:31:41
I thought he was performing ok recently?
Or are there other reasons.
2.) 29 Oct 2019 08:08:40
The new Besiktas President has his own views on balancing the books and what shape success should take. What is the penalty to Besiktas for canceling the loan, Ed002, if they go through with it?
{Ed002's Note - Without seeing the contract I don't know - but rules are much stricter than they were.}
11 Jun 2019 18:14:21
Hi eds1
Is Danny Ings still joining Southampton after heās loan is now finished?
{Ed001's Note - as far as I am aware it was all done before the end of the season.}
1.) 11 Jun 2019 18:58:59
Was the fee already agreed before the loan eds1.
{Ed001's Note - yes.}
2.) 11 Jun 2019 19:42:45
I know people will disagree but i still think Origi should be joining him. don't think he's up to competing with the front 3 over a long season.
3.) 11 Jun 2019 19:59:02
Little Naby I agree. Not knocking the lad for how he finished the season but heās not good enough.
4.) 11 Jun 2019 23:38:10
Cue the fume when we don't bring in a Ā£70 million front man to sit on the bench and instead give Origi a new contract.
5.) 11 Jun 2019 23:54:25
Little Naby not sure what more you want from the guy he was excellent in the close season and earned his place in this squad. You won't get top drawer players happy to sit on the bench and frankly it causes more problems than good, look how many want to leave city!
6.) 12 Jun 2019 09:17:27
He wasnt excellent Never, what player were you watching? Peoples minds are being muddled by the fact he scored a couple of goals on our way to number 6,oh and let's not forget the derby goal my granny would have put away. There was a time i really wanted it to work out for Origi but he's not good enough. How many teams were beating down our door to sign him last summer and January? And this isn't about wanting a shiny new Ā£70-80m player to replace him, i would honestly rather see an academy player like Woodburn or Camacho play ahead of him because at least one they they MIGHT be good enough.
7.) 12 Jun 2019 12:36:35
It isn't a long season to Origi - along season playing every game then yes! When asked to do a job, he's done as best as poss.
8.) 12 Jun 2019 14:19:31
If he gets a new contract and sticks around i'll support him as a Liverpool player. I just don't think he should get that contract and we should sell him now while his stock is at its highest. We should be at a stage now where we have better than Origi on the bench. he'd struggle to get in a matchday squad for most of the top half of the table teams.
9.) 12 Jun 2019 14:35:49
He's the only natural finisher out of our front three, that said, I wouldn't start him over Mane, Booby or Mo but he can offer something different if we rotate him.
10.) 12 Jun 2019 15:04:01
I like having Divock as an option.
I liked his performances on the left the few times he played there.
IF he stays it will be because the club see his utility and he thinks he can do it.
That's all you can ask for.
11.) 12 Jun 2019 16:14:20
Little Naby and Pegleg, could you please tell me how many teams were beating down Andy Robertson's door when we signed him? And how on earth are you able to determine that Origi's stock is at the highest right now, at 24 years of age and coming back into form and reckoning?
You guys epitomize the exact thing that's wrong with modern fans, but I'm particularly disgusted because this kid has done everything he's been asked and has just played a major, major part in maintaining our title pursuit last season and winning us our first trophy in almost a decade.
To justify your nonsense you suggest that it might just be better to play Camacho or Woodburn. ahead of Origi, because, as you implied, they might just be better! It is truly pathetic that you feel the only way to measure our progress or readiness to win major trophies is by having better players on the bench than Origi. There was a time Machedo won Manchester United the league; John O'Shea; Felipe Anderson; list goes on.
I don't think we deserve anything with "fans" like you! I see now why Ed002 loves Liverpool fans! Keep it up!
12.) 12 Jun 2019 16:52:44
Noski wind your neck in lad. No need to bite their heads off. If you disagree that's fine but chill out man. People are allowed to have different opinions to you.
13.) 12 Jun 2019 16:56:39
I donāt think Origi is up to the task really, but I donāt think Bobby is either. Before everybody shoots me down, if you took him out of our side last season and replaced him with peak Torres, Saurez or Fowler, we win the league, I have no doubts about that. I love Bobby, heās a fantastic player but if everyone thinks back to before we signed him, he was an attacking midfield player, not a forward. I would love to see him move back into midfield. Everyone seems to think we need a āFekirā type player to open defences and score goals from midfield, I think Bobby can do that no problem. Sign a world class out and out striker would be my preference.
14.) 12 Jun 2019 21:02:17
Noski i don't epitomise anything, im supporting LFC 30 years and usually hate criticising one of our players but the lad is not good enough. IN MY OPINION. if you think he is then fine but i know most L'pool suppoters i know agree with me. if we hadnt completed a miracle comeback against Barcelona there would be very little people on this site in favour of keeping Divock.
15.) 12 Jun 2019 21:49:03
We beat West Ham away 3-2 Divock scored
We beat Everton at home 1-0 Divock scored
We beat Barcelona at home 4-0 Divock scored
We beat Spurs in CL final 2-0 Divock scored
He played 673mins and scored 7 goals and has a goal average of 1 every 96mins in 2018/ 19
He will sit on the bench and wait his chance and doesn't sulk.
When we needed him this season he was there.
Jose Mourinho speaking on RT said after the CL final that players like Divock are like gold dust. Jurgen it seems wants to offer him a new contract and people on here want rid of him?
He cost Liverpool Ā£8mil, would people prefer we sold him and spent Ā£50mil for someone else to sit on the bench and disrupt the squad because he's not getting a game?
{Ed025's Note - sounds like a brilliant player polecat, so if he had of played more maybe you would have won the league?, does that mean that klopp picked the wrong team at times?...maybe jurgen is not as good as i thought mate..
16.) 13 Jun 2019 00:11:55
My neck has truly be wound in, Campbell. I'm waiting for your Campbocopter to deliver the flashiest signing yet! Clear all the deadwoods and splish and splash!
17.) 13 Jun 2019 01:04:45
Divock is worth his place anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded and frankly wrong.
If Klopp sees him as good enough for the best team in europe then none of us are qualified to disagree.
18.) 12 Jun 2019 22:26:22
jurgens good enough to try and get rid last summer Ed025 but he wouldn't go to Wolves. For me if everyones fit he's not even 1st option off the bench i'd have Shaquiri on ahead of him, Ox too if he's on the bench.
{Ed025's Note - hes a different option i suppose naby, but if he does stay i cant see him starting many games mate..
19.) 13 Jun 2019 19:14:28
ED025,
If Everton had a few players as good as him maybe they wouldn't have finished 43 points behind LFC?
{Ed025's Note - your right polecat....it would have been 53, its yet another case of liverpool supporters over hyping one of their players, hes bench fodder and no more mate as next season will prove ( that is of course if they cant get shut of him)..
20.) 15 Jun 2019 09:01:21
I love what origi has done for us and his attitude has been great. His goals have all been instinctive which bobby lacks around the box. He's never one to grab a game and produce something out of nothing, all his goals have come from 6 yard tap ins apart from final.
I'd have no complaints if he stays. But I actually feel origi himself might want to leave. His latest quotes suggest he's deciding his next move. He's 24, another season of 700 minutes can't be what he wants.
02 Jan 2019 19:55:41
Hi eds
Is Solankes move to CP not going ahead now?
{Ed001's Note - for now yes.}
1.) 02 Jan 2019 20:23:48
Apparently, there are concerns over his fitness.
My opinion is that it may be difficult for him to go on loan because teams would need him to start playing immediately.
A permanent deal however may be different, because he may be afforded more time.
But that's just my opinion.
{Ed002's Note - That is not the issue - someone making unreasonable demands is.}
2.) 02 Jan 2019 20:54:07
Player looking for Guarantees no doubt then.
{Ed002's Note - No, that is not the issue.}
3.) 02 Jan 2019 22:09:32
Probably us demanding an excessive loan fee or insisting Palace cover all his wages.
4.) 02 Jan 2019 22:11:55
Am dumping itās the clubās demands of playing time and feed.
5.) 02 Jan 2019 22:46:32
*assuming.
6.) 03 Jan 2019 01:52:31
Maybe we are trying to get some sort of agreement about Bissaka.
7.) 03 Jan 2019 05:55:10
Havent seen it asked yet, so here goes. ed2 who is making the unreasonable demands and what are they?
{Ed002's Note - It is unimportant. He will go elsewhere.}
8.) 03 Jan 2019 15:19:52
Doesn't Solanke have a very demanding father that was also part of the problem @ Chelsea?
9.) 04 Jan 2019 00:33:05
Is it not about CP signing too many loan players this season?
10.) 04 Jan 2019 00:38:46
Like where?
25 Apr 2018 06:55:46
Hi eds. do you know when Lallana it due back. After the injury to the ox we need him ASAP. ?
{Ed001's Note - he is not expected back this season, unless we make the final in which case he could possibly make it. Not sure we 'need' him, good player as he is, we have not missed him at all this season and look better without him. He does not fit the way we play any more.}
1.) 25 Apr 2018 07:06:41
Ok thanks eds
Maybe time for him to move on then.
2.) 25 Apr 2018 07:46:10
I think we are all panicking over Midfield options ed mate. what's your thoughts? We have 3 fit options only now. Anyone from U21 or U23 that might be drafted in?
{Ed001's Note - maybe time to give Trent a run in his natural position?}
3.) 25 Apr 2018 08:14:07
Be a good chance against stoke at the weekend maybe and play Gomez at rb.
4.) 25 Apr 2018 08:19:41
Good shout Ed to be fair. Gomez back to RB. Hendo probably needs a rest? Can you think of any youngsters he might call on or should the 3 senior fit CMs be able to play all remaining games in your opinion?
{Ed001's Note - there is plenty of rest after next week's game. So they should be enough. If not maybe we could give Williams a chance, at 22 he needs to get a game or two just to see if he is capable of raising his game. You only know for sure when they get a go. Sometimes a kid can stand out a mile but then shrink mentally and fail miserably in the adult game. Other kids look average in youth football but they get a lucky break and suddenly grow as players to look like they belong there. It really shouldn't be an issue to cope for 4 games with the three we have and then they get two weeks to rest before the final (hopefully).}
5.) 25 Apr 2018 08:28:14
Just made a post on another thread saying the same ed, I think it is time to push him up to the midfield, let's see how he handles it, I think he'll do really well plus there's no better time then now.
6.) 25 Apr 2018 08:40:46
Cheers ed. You make so much sense. I would have far less stress and grey hairs if I could talk to you everytime I get a little flustered or concerned in life lol. Have a good day mate.
{Ed001's Note - I would say that is the good thing about getting older that you get less flustered but me ma is blooming ancient and she still gets overly stressed about every little thing.}
7.) 25 Apr 2018 08:44:43
In terms of having enough in the tank it shouldn't be a problem Ed001. But we are also one errant kick from not having enough fit midfielders for the biggest game of the decade.
{Ed001's Note - then you give a youngster a chance and you never know you might unearth a future star. If we aren't going to give them a chance when injuries strike because of panicky fans we may as well scrap the academy altogether.}
8.) 25 Apr 2018 09:09:43
Iād like to see Hendo, Gini and Woodburn against Stoke and maybe Milner coming on last 30mins to rest Hendo for a bit.
We need TAAās delivery from out wide against Stoke IMO.
9.) 25 Apr 2018 10:42:31
Fully agree ed001, but I'm dissapointed that we have to give them a chance now. I questioned at the time, and continue to question, why they are not as a rule present in every match day squad so they could have gotten some chances in a few of the 16 (yes that's right, 16) games this season where we have won by 3 or more goals? It does get annoying finding ourselves repeatedly unprepared for this.
{Ed001's Note - I expect the Prem will follow Serie A's lead and increase the number of subs available soon enough. Serie A did it because they wanted to help the Italian national side by giving youngsters more chances in the first team. Whether it would actually do that or not is arguable but it would certainly mean managers would have no excuse for not giving kids a chance. Though it would probably just see Guardiola demand another half billion to spend to fill the bench with expensive first team players....}
10.) 25 Apr 2018 13:07:47
Ed001 do you know has Jordan Williams been training with the 1st team? I know he played a bunch of games for Rochdale, but not since October and he hasn't been playing for the U23s. I'd imagine it's more likely Gini will play as the deep mid and one or two of Woodburn/ Jones/ Kane could get a start. I know they're younger but age doesn't seem to be a factor for Klopp if you're good enough.
{Ed001's Note - a lot of the young uns train with the first team and it swaps about, to get them used to being with the group.}
11.) 25 Apr 2018 20:54:55
Jordan Williams is currently on loan at Rochdale so I imagine he wouldnāt be an option unless recall was an option.
{Ed002's Note - Of course not.}
12.) 26 Apr 2018 09:06:41
No Gordo, it was only a loan until January, but he suffered a knee injury at the end of October and hasn't kicked a football since.
13.) 26 Apr 2018 12:16:15
SGRED, Iād argue that Trentās positioning would still find him out wide when playing RCM, just look at the positions Milner and the Ox take up throughout a game. Means he still gets to put in killer deliveries but also experience a game in midfield at the highest level. Also means if we play Gomez at RB that we can shift to a 3-4-3 when needed without having to bring an extra centre back on like we have been lately.
Cheers (3rd attempt at this post)
14.) 26 Apr 2018 12:17:51
Gordo - I believe his loan finished back in Jan. I just checked the Rochdale website and there is no mention of him (although they do have a Jordan Williams out on loan to Lincoln which threw me for a tick) . But he isn't injured AFAIK so Im guessing he needs to work harder to convince Critchley because he isn't getting into the U23 atm.
10 Nov 2017 11:03:01
Is there a Liverpool sharkpod yet edsšš».
{Ed002's Note - Right now my plan is to do them all next Thursday. I am either travelling or busy working until then.}
1.) 10 Nov 2017 12:29:45
Ok mate thanks.
2.) 10 Nov 2017 23:14:10
Looking forward to this, roll on next week, any chance when you get a spare moment next week Ed002 you can start the intergalactic legends team? Thanks mate.
{Ed002's Note - It may need to be the week after.}
3.) 11 Nov 2017 16:59:13
Silly question. How do you gain access to the old sharkpods? I've tried the search engine but for me it just brings up comments that has the word sharkpod in there.
{Ed033's Note - old sharkpods

Morning eds
Iāve been made busy for a few days. So not Been on much.
Has there been a match review for the Darby yet?
{Ed001's Note - if you bookmark this site then you can look for yourself. I haven't got time to keep posting up the link time and time again because people can't be bothered to look.}

{Ed001's Note - I am working on it mate.}
10 Nov 2019 08:09:12
Just been looking at the fixtures and although we are clearly stacked from now until Christmas. Man City will play Chelsea, Leicester, Man U and arsenal (the last one is a gimme I know) before Christmas now thatās not easy!
1.) 10 Nov 2019 09:30:35
No game is easy mate, you can only play what is in front of you. We all play the same teams the same number of times in a season, sometimes you have good days and others you have bad. Let's just concentrate on our own games, winning them is all that is important to Liverpool football club.
2.) 10 Nov 2019 09:31:21
Saw this last week as well, might explain why pep has reverted to the mind games trick for this weekend. They canāt afford to be 9 points behind going into those fixtures. He will know the next month is massive for city, not just this weekend.
Cheers.
3.) 10 Nov 2019 09:32:59
Depends if Unai Emery is still there. If he is gone it could be a tough game with the new manager bounce and all that.
4.) 10 Nov 2019 10:18:40
Istanbul you say no game is easy but they are for city most teams turn up knowing that there going to lose they roll over for them. . Thatās why I pointed out Chelsea, Leicester, and Man U (Darby) Because they will turn up on the day.
5.) 10 Nov 2019 10:50:56
Longthing, against the '' top 6'' how many points did city drop last season, add the season before that too if you care to. Then look at the points the dropped against the rest of the league. No game is easy on paper, every game is unpredictable.
6.) 10 Nov 2019 11:50:04
Out of those fixtures I've got my eye on Brendan to snatch a few points off city.
7.) 10 Nov 2019 20:16:24
OP, I am still fully weary of this City team regardless of the result today. I mean, we were 3-0 up and it looked like City could score 3 goals and really, they could have were it not for their lack of lucidity and good decision-making on their side. This team had rattled off 14 straight wins (won 18 of their last 19 games) last season to win the PL by a point. What did we do? All we did was (with a 5 point lead) draw three of our last 14 games and we lose the PL by a point. These are the margins (and team) we are dealing with. If any team can catch us, it IS City. We are 9 points ahead. Great. That's City's problem now. We move on.
8.) 11 Nov 2019 04:52:08
I'm also not going to ever rule out city but this isn't the same city you say won 18 of their final 19 games last season. This is a city side who've lost 3 games this season and have dropped more points at home already than they have over last 2 years. They've had arguably the easiest on paper first 12 fixtures of anyone and have dropped points in 4 of those, tougher fixtures will only cause more issues.
We're now the team who don't lose games. city are far from the dominant team of the past 2 years who rarely dropped points, they're showing they have more weakness than ever under pep while our current run of results over last 20-30 games suggests even a dip in form would not see us dropping points for too long a period.

{Ed001's Note - he hasn't decided from what I can tell. Might be waiting to see if Leeds get promoted, as he has always said he wants to go back. But I am guessing as it is in his own hands, Klopp would like him to stay another year.}
