Hi Eds, this was a random name for me as well, but any truth in the reported bid for César 'Chino' Huerta, from PUMAS in Mexico?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Right footed LW - perhaps for the future. Work Permit would be difficult.}

Ed002, I just want to echo the other readers and acknowledge your outstanding leadership and in-depth, long-range views and info you continue to provide!
{Ed002's Note - Thanks.}
27 Dec 2023 16:44:11
Hi Ed002, please, is the Antonee Robinson Fulham-Liverpool rumor legit? Also, does it have anything to do with the speculated loan return of Carvalho?
Thank you.
{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any Liverpool approach to Fulham for Robinson. If Carvalho returns on would expect a loan elsewhere.}
1.) 27 Dec 2023 22:23:33
Thank you, Boss! Enjoy your week!

Hi Ed002, hope you're doing well. Don't want to ask just any random question, but I saw some reports earlier that LFC is interested in Lois Openda. Given the well-traveled RB to LFC route, I thought I'd run it by you. I don't know the player personally and have never seen him play.
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Lois Openda (S) Only joined RBL this summer and whilst he is doing very well with sides interested in talking to RBL about him, they have no interest in selling. Still seen as a potential Osihem replacement for Napoli. Wildcard could be Milan who had interest in him at Brugge but their focus is on another. RBL are losing one or two other forwards and will reject any requests for discussion. I am not aware of any approach to them by Liverpool whose focus should be on a Salah replacement.}
1.) 30 Nov 2023 10:19:52
Thanks, 002. So, my deduction from your response is that Openda may not be a suitable replacement for Salah. However, if you may, and I don't mean to put you on the spot here, but based on how emphatic you sounded, would you say it's a given that Salah is a goner end of the season? I know you've in us over the years of his agent's mover. Do you believe that Salah is definitely off to Saudi next summer?
{Ed002's Note - Openda is a striker and Liverpool's primary need will be for a versatile RW to replace Salah in the summer.}
2.) 30 Nov 2023 13:55:52
Thanks for your responses, and have a good day.
{Ed002's Note - And you.}
11 Aug 2023 01:42:25
David Ornsrien and The Atheltic are reporting that there was an auction tonight and Liverpool won the auction for Caicedo. I don't know what to believe. Ed002, can you help?
{Ed002's Note - I am not sure "auction" is the best term as Chelsea made clear they would not go above £100M for the player and Liverpool did.}
09 May 2022 12:16:12
Hi Ed002, please can I bother you for a minute? I'm just wondering if Liverpool are still interested in Bowen. I know you've written about him in the past but given his current form, I was wondering if there's anything new as far as Klopp's interest in the player. Also, do you think West Ham will do business if the player was interested in the move? Any info will be appreciated. I just think given stronger players and coaching, that guy can score 20 goals a season.
Thanks, 002.
{Ed002's Note - Jarrod Bowen (RW/LW) I am still not aware of any formal approach to West Ham by Liverpool, but Bowen is a player who would be an ideal replacement for the now departed Shaqiri and perhaps to depart Oxlade-Chamberlain or Minamino - and he is HG. Liverpool have a good relationship with his agent and have apparently spoken with him. I don't know if West Ham would be open to selling. Their focus is on other positions. So it makes some sense if West Ham are open to a sale and if the player accepts a bit-part role. Previously Leicester had an approach turned down by West Ham. Spurs want to add competition to Moura but I think Bowen would want to be a starter so any club signing him would need to convince him of their project. I would not totally rule it out.}
1.) 09 May 2022 16:35:55
I don’t see it unless one of Firmino, Diaz, Salah, Mane or Jota leave. I think we could convince him to come in and be a part of a ‘front 5’ but doubt he would (or should) accept an Origi style role.
2.) 09 May 2022 18:01:01
Unless we see him playing behind Salah on the right side of the midfield, which is a total change in position for him, then I'm unsure how it could fit unless someone significant moves on.
3.) 09 May 2022 17:27:49
Thank you for your reply, Ed002! Hopefully Salah is sorted out sooner than later. I don't mind Bowen at all. Who's is agent, if I may? I don't have any football contacts or anything, but just watching him, Bowen strikes me like a hardworker, and I've just become sick of Salah's singing to the media rather than focusing on his football! Everything you said makes sense in terms of his homegrown status and potential space (s) in the team. Not sure he'll command a huge salary at first either, so what's not to like? Salah wasn't the Egyptian King until he came to Liverpool; who says we couldn't find the next one?
{Ed002's Note - He shares an agent with Roberton and Alexander Arnold.}
4.) 10 May 2022 10:23:06
10 goals and 10 assists strikes me as a player on the up. Maybe the answer is to sell both Mane and Salah then bring in Bowen and Nunez.

Just a minute to reflect on the total electricity of Toto Salvatore Schillaci at Italia 90. Seems like yesterday watching him jump around. You'll never walk alone.
1.) 18 Sep 2024 19:52:40
Oh no, just found out about this. He was one of the stars of that tournament. Funny thing I vaugly remember as a kid was when he was at Inter and it may even have been against Norwich but Inter had an injury crisis at the time and they had to put him on the bench whilst injured. He never even got fully changed as he was never meant to play but of course the inevitable happened and he had to come on. I can still hear the commentators chuckling as a clearly annoyed Toto was putting his boots on while about to join the action.
2.) 18 Sep 2024 21:06:17
He was great, huge pressure on Italy in that tournament but Toto played with a smile on his face and total commitment.
Loved seeing him do well RIP Toto and condolences to his loved ones.
3.) 19 Sep 2024 01:21:29
RIP mate, another one gone too soon.
4.) 19 Sep 2024 04:09:44
Sad loss at too early an age.
RIP Toto.
5.) 19 Sep 2024 12:27:10
He broke all our hearts in italy 90 but he was a superstar that tournament.
6.) 19 Sep 2024 12:54:43
Toto's gone? OMG. RIP!
7.) 19 Sep 2024 14:24:27
He became a National hero in Ireland, even though he knocked us out of the world cup. He spawned a thousand Nicknames in Dublin over the following 10 years or so. we loved him.
"alrigh Schillaci? "
RIP.
8.) 19 Sep 2024 15:10:54
"Toto" was truly loved, indeed by many fans all over the world after Italia '90.
9.) 20 Sep 2024 01:20:08
I'm old enough to remember him in The Wizard of Oz.
The Germans broke our hearts in 90, aoe. The last great tournament, for me. Euro 96 was good but Italia 90 was the best.
International football will never be the same again.
10.) 20 Sep 2024 23:24:36
@Rigsby, great shout about Italia 90 - totally agree about it being the last great tournament. If I ever hear Nessus Dorma I’m right back in the summer of 90.
01 Apr 2024 08:27:00
The best news I've heard today is that Klopp has decided to stay for until 2026!
Happy April Fool's Day, Reds!
26 Feb 2024 07:09:32
What a game, what a victory. I just wonder, Ed001 and Reds, what's the thinking behind Chilwell being subbed off in that game. He was fired up and sometimes nasty, but was the most senior and experienced person on the pitch, and even if he had a yellow, they needed that level of experience and character in the game. Not that I'm complaining, but as a student of the game, I'm just curious what you guys make of that decision.
{Ed001's Note - he has been injured and was struggling for fitness. Plus he was not playing well and losing his head with his frustration. Bad choice for captain as he has a horrible attitude anyway. Off the pitch I mean. The mistake was not having a better option to change him, rather than changing him.}
1.) 26 Feb 2024 08:48:30
Chillwell really showed his class picking on the kids.
2.) 26 Feb 2024 11:22:32
Chilwell is a shallow, entitled man of small character. Other than actively vile people, like Joey Barton and El-Hadji Diouf, guys like Chilwell are the worst people to put in positions of leadership or build teams around. The Ben Chilwells of the world are obnoxious to be around but without any of the charm that accompanies leaders who may have obnoxious traits but also try to help others and have genuine conviction in their decisions.
The episodes at Anfield, where Chilwell was so unbothered about his duties as a captain he left a mascot alone in front of 60,000 fans, and last night, where he allowed his team to lose to a bunch of academy kids who are basically not even professionals yet show he is a disgrace of a captain.
3.) 26 Feb 2024 11:34:26
Seems like a horrible person the way he was getting on.
4.) 26 Feb 2024 12:14:53
Isn't that the Chilwell that started out at Leicester that we were chasing at the time?
Bullet well and truly dodged if so.
18 Feb 2024 13:20:01
Ed001 and Reds, is it just me, or did anyone notice that Bradley played significantly more inverted as soon as Salah came into the game yesterday? I don't have tactical cams or whatever, but it seems we saw Bradley much more centrally the moment Salah came in, and more so in the second half.
Just an observation.
{Ed001's Note - I thought that was more just a tactical change for the second half. But yes, he defo inverted in the second half.}
1.) 18 Feb 2024 14:50:27
I didn't think he inverted that much the whole game, IMO cos I he was a willing and always available outlet on the right holding the with high up. Prolly just me seeing things a bit idifferently in the moment.
2.) 18 Feb 2024 20:34:51
He spent half his time as a CM in the second half Oli. It does help us stop counters down the middle and it worked.
Any counter attacks are then forced wide which makes them easier to deal with.
3.) 19 Feb 2024 16:42:11
Ah yeah, Beckers. I see what you mean now cos in the second half, the GK was kicking the ball up to Toney on the right touch line where Bradley was cos that's a mismatch regarding aerial duels.
Then, I saw the switch where Konate started picking Toney up on those goal kicks and snuffed that nonsense out.
04 Jan 2024 14:04:43
Hey Eds and Reds, just a thought. I believe Curtis Jones may be having his best time as a Red at the moment. I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea, and I totally respect that. I also know Gareth Southgate has his "ways" and all that, but do you see Jones gatecrashing that England national team for the Euros? How about Elliott?
It's a slow day, so chime in as you like!
YNWA.
1.) 04 Jan 2024 18:05:07
If he actually picked on form and talent then I'd say Jones has a shout. Elliott I'd say no doesn't get enough minutes (yep I know. ) . So long as he keeps picking the likes of phillips and gallagher then I'd say no to both.
2.) 04 Jan 2024 19:07:13
I think Southgate would only pick him if he played practically every game til the end of the season, and I just don't think he's first on the team sheet when everyone's fit (although I think he deserves to be at the moment) . If he keeps up his form he'll get a call up eventually, but I reckon Southgate's already picked his squad, form doesn't seem to matter.
3.) 04 Jan 2024 19:35:30
We just need to give both the lads a couple of games at right back, they’ll be guaranteed a spot in the squad then.
4.) 04 Jan 2024 20:15:16
OP and this is just me, yeah? Nobody cares what the incompetent Waist Coat has to say or do anymore esp. after he hung Trent out to dry and unleashed him to the wolves in the media cos he did not have the guts to say to everyone and to trent's face that he did not fit the style he wanted for a RB in his England team.
I hope that neither Jones nor Elliott never get picked by that guy till he leaves his England position. After that, maybe we can talk. Just my opinion.
5.) 04 Jan 2024 22:26:08
Elliot has played more minutes than Jones this season. Southgate doesn't pick on form so it's irrelevant. Yet another reason that I don't watch or care about the national team. Our players have enough important games at it is without having to be involved in that load of tosh.
6.) 05 Jan 2024 04:30:29
Westwood I didn't know that about the mins but maybe u got my point that minutes don't matter to WW depending upon who we're talking about.
7.) 05 Jan 2024 07:29:25
Holding my hands up here as the way Jones is playing at the moment, has made me eat so much humble pie.
He seems to have matured very quickly and I *now* see what an awesome player he is/can further become.
Thought he was outstanding in the last match, and looking forward to him remaining injury free.
8.) 05 Jan 2024 09:37:48
I think he'd have to be busting in goals and assists to get himself ahead of the others.
9.) 05 Jan 2024 11:56:21
Jones is one of those youngsters who could make a lot of people eat humble pie. He's coming along nicely and hasn't reached his ceiling yet. Hopefully he can steer clear of injuries and it's all within his own grasp then.
10.) 05 Jan 2024 13:01:08
I think you guys can clearly tell how Southgate chose the players. If the player got hyped a lot, then he'll be in Southgate's team. Any of the media or TV channels hyping Jones up? You guys know the answer.
That's how great Southgate is as a manager.
11.) 05 Jan 2024 13:55:34
HaizanMSS, my point exactly.

Thanks for this piece, Ed001.
I just feel Thiago is going to become a world-class manager in the future. His understanding of the game is truly remarkable.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}
01 May 2024 15:02:04
Stop all the negativity! We like it or not, a new era is on the way, and we should embrace it with all trepidation but not doom and gloom.
I'm just going to enjoy it, and I advise you do the same! Either way, the team needs a refresh; we've been playing really badly the last couple of games, so let's sow up this season and this era and move to the next.
Say whatever you like but there were very few options available anyway for a manager to replace Klopp, so l3ts stop longing for what's not practical. Ed002 made a good call on Slot and that's good enough for me. For now. Support your team!
26 Feb 2024 13:29:37
This Wataru guy's an absolute warrior in every sense of the word. He approaches every mach in Red kit like he's going for a battle; gum shield and all. A pure Samurai! Plus, he's as low maintenance as far as low maintenance go!
I'm so glad we have someone like him in our team. Long may it continue! YNWA.
25 Jan 2024 14:42:38
Nice post Grino, and solid response, 001. What you said about the evolution of the hybrid roles particularly resonated with me. We talked about this before, but it seems Gomez's interpretation of the inversion has made it work better from a defensive solidity standpoint, while Trent's inversion has been far more defensively fraught. Gomez has played as a CB and DM in his inversion from the left and although I don't have the stats to back it up, it feels like we've conceded less and have been generally more assured at the back with Gomez on the left inverting and playing three or four positions throughout per game. It's been really interesting to watch him grow and improve so much, and could easily be one of our players of the season!
22 Jan 2024 02:16:47
It looked like Gomez was inverting a bit from the left, or did I make that up?
{Ed001's Note - no you didn't, he was very much inverted from the left.}
