Looks like it didn't go through in the end, hopefully we get the young lad in the summer.
1.) 31 Jan 2022 23:32:19
I think it’ll happen in the summer, the lad wants to join us and with any luck there’ll be no need for a tribunal.

RIP Ed002, thanks for the unrivalled knowledge and insights that he provided to us all over the years! He will be sorely missed on this forum! Thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends today. RIP.

Just watching the press conference now, I'm very concerned. There is something seriously wrong with Klopp mentally I think. Never seen him like this. I think his head has gone. I really hope I'm so wrong.
1.) 11 Feb 2023 02:06:28
I love Klopp!
But do you think it’s just the end of an era?
(My first post here so go gently) .
YNWA.
2.) 11 Feb 2023 06:33:38
Klopp is having a tough time at the moment, I don't expect him to be cracking jokes and laughing and smiling. We all make mistakes and have tough times, it's how you retrieve these situations and learn from mistakes. I think Jurgen has deserved the opportunity to give it a go. Painful as it may be, but given time I think he can turn it round.
3.) 11 Feb 2023 07:24:37
The amateur psychologists out in force today. Maybe he’s just cheesed of with inane questions from journalists.
4.) 11 Feb 2023 07:58:37
Just a question, maybe Ed’s will know or someone here.
What happened to Klopp at Dortmund? Didn’t he go due to a huge drop in form there? I have not real idea and just wondering.
{Ed001's Note - they wanted him to stay but he resigned as he felt that he had done all he could with the team. Partly in need of a break and partly fed up of his best players being sold out from under him.}
5.) 11 Feb 2023 08:44:16
I agree op Klopp seems almost aggressive in his interviews at the moment and I understand that it’s the same questions over and over again but that’s always the case for all managers it’s just part of the job am afraid. Where has the funny, smiley Klopp gone!
6.) 11 Feb 2023 08:52:48
It's called "Pressure" he has immense pressure on his shoulders every day, particularly when results are not going your way? The LFC players are the only ones who can stop this run of bad results.
A good Derby win Monday will kick start the season at long last!
7.) 11 Feb 2023 09:20:42
I agree only the players on the pitch can ease the pressure.
8.) 11 Feb 2023 09:13:25
Who is going to be funny and smiley with the performances the team has been putting in. Who gets enjoyment out of that? Confidence is shot to pieces for the playing staff, Klopp, coach etc. Things haven’t gone well AT ALL this season and now we are in a situation where it’s a case of digging in and really trying to grind a few results together and hope for a few fresh bodies to recover from injury.
I guess anyone who has played at any level will understand how your energy levels seem to disappear quicker when you’re playing sh#t, when a 10 yard pass is difficult to achieve, when players run past you as if you’re stuck in quick sand and the forwards can’t remember the last month they scored a goal. It’s not down to a lack of trying but you can’t replicate that feeling when you’re playing well, your head is up and your first touch gives you that extra second.
That’s not to say training won’t be fun and good craic but you will still know in your head the results aren’t there and your own performance has been dire.
It is a really tough moment but what is also true is that it can go as quickly as it came and you remember that round thing is actually a football and the aim is to look after it and stick it in the net.
Just my point of view from past experiences away back when, or maybe that was just me ???.
9.) 11 Feb 2023 09:37:58
Given the fact that he is aware of our current form and situation, he keeps getting asked the same old questions and that most people don’t believe him or twist what he says what do you expect him to do? Maybe do a ten minute stand-up routine or the Fawlty Towers ‘Don’t mention the war’ pieces? I’m honestly surprised that people are surprised that he’s pi##ed.
10.) 11 Feb 2023 09:44:56
He’s a winner. They don’t like losing. A few good results and the smile will be back.
11.) 11 Feb 2023 10:36:06
Just check Guardiola’s demeanour when we were besting them.
12.) 11 Feb 2023 10:52:27
They were in relegation zone for a lot of that season and ultimately it was due to klopp not overhauling the squad and keeping faith in players over 30 as well as the points ed made.
13.) 11 Feb 2023 11:25:59
If he was smiley and jokey in PCs I bet you'll be the 1st to say Klopp isn't taking the team's form seriously. Didn't know there were so many body language experts around.
14.) 11 Feb 2023 12:29:05
Do we have to be experts or qualified in topics now to start any discussion on here? Because I bet none of us are qualified or experts in any topic so the page is going to be a right laugh moving forward.
Robbie’s made an observation and says he hoped he’s wrong. Not really sure why he’s getting a couple of haters on him.
15.) 11 Feb 2023 16:10:39
@TopG, that is patently false and Ed01 did not say what you said. The fact is that his best players kept getting poached by Bayern and the replacements like Ciro Immobile for Lewandoswski, were not up to scratch. Oh n btw, a certain Mario Gotze was poached by Bayern by a certain Pep Guardiola who took over the season after he was poached. Genius manager, of course (eye roll) . If you’re going to have a pop at Klopp then at least, come with the facts instead of making up your own. It’s only fair.
As for Klopp’s demeanour at press conferences, as always people are overthinking this way too much. No need to have a psychology degree to realise Klopp is having a rough time like ALL managers do when things aren’t going right. I don’t remember ANY top manager being warm and fuzzy to the media under the same circumstances so not sure what is happening here.
He prolly blames himself more than anything so that will definitely eat him up a bit and it does not help with lazy journos looking for him to write their headlines for them by asking the sale old tired questions everytime. It’s football. No new ground has been broken here.
16.) 11 Feb 2023 19:24:05
This is the game I’ve been dreading. We must win this game. If we get smashed again I think the in the morning will read “Klopp walks”.
17.) 11 Feb 2023 20:01:15
Klopp certainly looks like he’s sleeping poorly atm and I agree with Oli, he probably is taking it to heart, as he’s basically a supporter in the manager’s hot seat.
But I hope he gets some context when he puts on the tv news; those terrible earthquake scenes, war, strikes, energy and cost of living problems.
That is real pressure.
I’d be happy if he can just get the team playing well again and put a smile on our faces, if only for a little while.
18.) 11 Feb 2023 21:13:41
Great post Rambo. If he was all smiles, there are posters on here who would be crucifying, guy cannot catch a break and, yes, the team are stinking the place out but we have to trust him to turn it around.
The players, the coaching staff, everyone is part of the team that makes up Liverpool FC. It hurts at the moment but we cannot just give up halfway through the season, even if it is to be a season of suffering. We suffer together.
19.) 11 Feb 2023 21:35:30
think Oli is spot on here, maybe Klopp is thinking that he could have should have done better .
how he spent the money on a forward Gakpo, instead of a midfielder is beyond me .
but we have to move on now and get behind the team .
think Big Virg will make a huge difference .
20.) 11 Feb 2023 21:42:37
He really can’t win in a situation like this. If he’s moody and tetchy then we say he’s not himself but if he’s happy and jokey we say he doesn’t care.
I wouldn’t read too much into it these press conferences are a waste of time anyway I’m sure he’d rather be trying to sort out our problems on the training pitch rather than answering the same old questions from a bunch of half wits.
21.) 12 Feb 2023 04:20:53
@Jk23, no you don’t need to be an expert or ‘qualified’ to start a discussion but It helps if people have a basic idea and / or understanding of what they are talking about or what sort of responses they are like to receive or directions that the ‘discussion’ is likely to take. A sort of amalgamation of ‘think before you speak’ and ‘if you haven’t got anything to say then don’t say anything’.
22.) 12 Feb 2023 08:03:38
Thanks Jk, its just an observation.
@wdw what "basic idea and/ or understanding" do you need before you make an observation? Maybe you could ask the Eds to allow you to moderate, that way only posts with your level of knowledge and expertise would be allowed. You'd probably have the place to yourself though.
23.) 12 Feb 2023 11:39:53
Kop that on the topic of the Gakpo signing rather than a midfielder, I see why they signed him cos we were after him in the summer already and most importantly, we only hade ONE for forward in Salah at the time with Darwin being injured (not being sure the extent of said injury as well) along with the others so I understand that part even tho, I can see why people disagreed with it in isolation.
Now as for the midfield, I knew we wouldn’t get one in Jan cos I knew we more than likely were keeping our powder dry till the summer to fully evaluate that position with the departures of Ox, Naby and even Milner with Hendo stepping down the peking order and re-evaluating Thiago’s role. Just my take on things. Let’s see what happens.
24 Dec 2022 22:18:08
Just want to say a massive thank you to all the Eds for the work they put in to. this site on a daily basis, the knowledge and info on here is second to none; its by far and away my most visited site on the net (bar my private browsing obviously ?) . Merry Christmas to one and all.
{Ed001's Note - thank you Robbie. Merry Christmas to you and all who visit this site. Have a great holiday period all.}
16 Sep 2022 00:27:39
Wanted to post about Thiago, I personally think it's an honour to watch this man play for our club and to show so much passion for LFC too. He's arguably one of the most talented footballers to have ever played the game, an absolute joy to watch! Unfortunately injuries keep him away a lot but my god when he plays he's incredible!
To finish the post, I've never been as excited about us signing a player as I was when he joined. He was a ready made superstar. and we do my surprise gun many of them.
An unbelievable footballer who loves the club and city.
These are good times LFC fans.
1.) 16 Sep 2022 09:56:24
I simply love Thiago. There is a joy factor to football matches. and he brings that :)
2.) 16 Sep 2022 10:01:20
Great player and always a joy to watch.
3.) 16 Sep 2022 12:17:17
Steady on. This is far too much joy for one thread.
4.) 16 Sep 2022 12:22:21
Watching Thiago play is like laying on a beach drinking an ice cold beer while being serenaded by a beautiful woman.
YNWA.
5.) 16 Sep 2022 12:56:21
I think Wijnaldum will probably go down as the most influential midfielder of the Klopp era but Thiago is the best one of the best we’ve had in the PL.
6.) 16 Sep 2022 13:22:06
Is serenaded the new name for £%@×$€?
7.) 16 Sep 2022 16:22:12
Rigsby, mention the word "injury" and watch how the vultures descend. That's the end of your "joy". ?.
8.) 17 Sep 2022 11:33:12
The problem this season is when thaigo is out our level dramatically drops off and he misses a lot of games with knocks sadly, the level we drop of is similar to when vvd got injured that season!
Class player and what a player for carvalho elliot Jones and the other young midfielders to train with and learn from in in training every day!
Just hope he stays fit for a good run now.
9.) 18 Sep 2022 16:32:57
Sorry, Dezykid but that’s not true. How can you watch all the issues we have up and down the shop and say it’s cos we are missing one player who btw before he got injured and subbed off vs Fulham, was poor like many others around him? Would him playing have made VVD suddenly and the whole back line unterrible? Or make us a lot more compact or make Gomez send Trent not make the individual mistakes theyvand others were making? Sorry man BUT no one guy was/ will save us from all the collective issues we have. That my friend, is wishful thinking.
08 Mar 2022 23:24:19
I think we were very poor this evening, not one player was above a 6 out of 10 and some were well below. I know we created chances alright and There was effort all round but there wasn't a single one who could stand up and say they had a good game. The effort was there but it was very flat. Delighted to go through obviously but a poor performance.
1.) 09 Mar 2022 03:43:47
Id give Diaz 6 and a half.
2.) 09 Mar 2022 03:46:03
Trent played well and Diaz was lively when he came on.
3.) 09 Mar 2022 06:51:53
We were poor overall. Matip as usual passing to the opponent and TAA not bothering to track back. 3-5-2 always trouble us. Inter were well organized and took Salah out of the game completely.
These are the games where you play your best defender. Konate has pace and physical presence.
{Ed0666's Note - Konate was injured genius
4.) 09 Mar 2022 06:56:14
Trent and Thiago played well I thought. We weren't at our best but we hit the woodwork 3 times and the ref let them smash the front 3 every time they got the ball. From 2-0 up there was no point going for a goal we just had to keep possession which we did ok until matip gave the ball away and didn't bother to run to get it back allowing them to score. I know it's unusual to lose at anfield and not to score but we did enough and were through.
{Ed0666's Note - we went through that’s what matters
5.) 09 Mar 2022 05:57:52
What exactly did Alisson do wrong?
6.) 09 Mar 2022 06:27:36
The beauty of the CL league is you don’t have to win both legs to progress. We could have had our best game of the season last night and stuck 5 past Inter and it would have been the same overall result of us progressing to the next round.
There was always going to be a bad performance and a loss so it’s actually very fortunate it came in a game that didn’t really matter in the end. Hopefully this is a little kick up the arse ready to refocus us for Brighton on Sat.
7.) 09 Mar 2022 07:12:28
Do people really think we were poor? I thought we were fine. We didn’t need to be excellent. I have no doubt that if we needed to we could have went up a notch or two.
Inter barely had a sniff over the 2 legs. They needed a pretty damn good strike to breach our defence. We hit the woodwork 3 times and Vidal pulled off an incredible block against Diaz. We can’t play 100mph every game given the number of fixtures we have.
We got through to the next round. No injuries. No concerns. On to the next game.
8.) 09 Mar 2022 07:20:48
There’s no pleasing some people 🤦ðŸ»â€â™‚ï¸.
9.) 09 Mar 2022 01:57:34
It was a performance waiting to happen - 4th game in 10 days. Physically and mentally they are probably off the boil. Lucky it was in a match were we had a 2 goal lead from the first leg.
We should have a bit more about us at the weekend (relatively speaking a bit more of a gap to the next match) and, with due respect to Brighton, they won’t be the stiffest test we have faced in recent times.
10.) 09 Mar 2022 07:55:01
Brighton won't be thinking like that.
11.) 09 Mar 2022 08:04:36
Spot on Barry, the same Brighton we let a two goal lead slip and were lucky to come away with a draw. Coupled with a 12.30 kick, it’s going to be tough!
12.) 09 Mar 2022 08:07:23
Brighton have there own issues at the moment barry 1 win in 8. there form as proper fell off the last month or two.
13.) 09 Mar 2022 08:18:49
It's up to our lads not to give a toss how Brighton think. Hit the ground running and be right at it from the first whistle.
Win the physical battle and let the difference in football quality do the rest.
14.) 09 Mar 2022 08:19:44
Catch a grip! If the 3 chances that hit the woodwork went in then youd have been p. ing yourself about how it was another great european performance. Small margins. The players are nackered and will get a well earned break after Tuesday.
15.) 09 Mar 2022 08:25:31
Our record against Brighton over the years is exceptionally good.
Amazingly though over the last 3 league games we’ve drawn twice and lost once against them. Brighton will very much fancy this as they really seem to turn up against us under Potter.
I’d imagine we will be at full strength and will need to perform to get this win. But at this stage results far outweigh performances.
16.) 09 Mar 2022 10:28:07
@Barry, you’d certainly hope Brighton aren’t thinking like that, Inagree.
The thing is, it doesn’t really matter what Brighton think. If we turn up with our game heads on and play the best we can 99 times out of 100 we will beat them.
17.) 09 Mar 2022 11:36:40
They completely took Salah out of the game Harry? You mean apart from him hitting the post twice?
Inter are a good side but other than scoring a worldy never really out us in real trouble over 180 mins.
18.) 09 Mar 2022 07:48:05
Ed0666 I thought we was in control they scored a 25 yard screamer but apart from that we was not in any trouble. We played in 4th gear all night there was no need to go hell for leather we have Brighton at the weekend them Arsenal mid week winning them games for more important as long as we went through is all that matters.
As for they kept quiet Mo must have been watching in different game to me he hit the post twice and was beating his man often but they where just sat back like they was 2-0 up. It’s like some people cannot see the big picture ed only the game on the tv at the minute.
{Ed0666's Note - exactly. I actually felt we were in 2nd gear all night. No one’s gonna remember this game in years to come for the performance it was all about going through to the last 8
19.) 09 Mar 2022 19:41:37
It was up to Inter to take the game to us and they couldn’t create one decent chance in 60 mins of play. Why would we go all out against a team we were leading 2/ 0? To prove what exactly? There’s a reason managers get paid big bucks to navigate such scenarios while the rest of us sit in front of the telly. The goal is to get thru to the next stage and we did that? Does it matter how we did that? We are into the next round and that is that. Move on to Brighton.
09 Aug 2024 16:03:50
Rodrygone.
15 Jul 2024 00:25:59
I don't get the furore around this lad, he's obviously not good enough for us, best for all involved that he finds a home somewhere else at his level.
12 Jul 2024 10:28:24
£45-50m cash plus Gomez should do it so, that's assuming Gomez wants Newcastle and they want him obviously. Sad to see Joe go but I think the timing is right for everyone.
25 Jun 2024 18:04:39
Viktor has spoken.
08 Jan 2024 11:14:36
This has Manchester United written all over it.
05 Dec 2024 13:05:09
As the late great Ed002 said, this person is simply a troll.
24 Nov 2024 18:29:56
No JL I don't think he is, I think we will sign a centre forward in the summer.
08 Nov 2024 20:28:19
Best of luck with the move Ed001.
{Ed001's Note - thanks Robbie.}
07 Jul 2024 20:13:15
Your man with the head was decent as well.
03 Jul 2024 16:23:13
Thanks for clearing that up for me SR, PB and Ed001.
