Hate when people speak in the third person, just tell us your staying and getting it over with!
2.) 09 Apr 2025 17:55:36
Joyce reporting it aswell.

Seems legit. I think a 2 year extension for him and the captain eases the pain this summer and allows us to improve the squad this summer and plan for their replacements properly - realistically to replace both in one window is very difficult financially.
Hopefully we aren't about to hamstring ourselves for incomings by committing to too high salaries for him and VVD.
I posted a few months back that I thought one of the three would go to allow the club to afford to resign the other two.
I feel this is what happened with Mane and Salah a few years ago where by letting Mane go we were able to offer Mo the big extension he got.
I think letting Trent go frees up a decent amount of wages that we can use elsewhere and gives us more wriggle room.
No insider knowledge here - just my feeling on how’s it’s played out.
{Ed001's Note - Mane went because he threw a strop and demanded a move.}
4.) 09 Apr 2025 18:25:35
What do you mean"letting"Trent go. don't think the club has had any say in his imminent departure.
5.) 09 Apr 2025 18:26:57
Mane was goosed. Went from one of the best 5 players in the world to bang average in no time bar a little stint as the striker. Bayern found out quick enough and got rid. I always remember someone saying he looked like he was playing with boots 3 sizes too big towards the end it was bang on.
6.) 09 Apr 2025 19:40:36
Great news Salah! Let's hope it's done.
7.) 09 Apr 2025 19:18:05
Hi Ed01 mate - I thought the strop was linked to Salah being preferred and him wanting similar wages?
Either way, my point was more that by Mane leaving it freed up funds for us to pay Salah more not that we let him go intentionally to re-sign Salah.
Just the way I saw it at the time anyway.
@Floriant - ok, fine semantics - not “letting him go” but him leaving. It does mean we have a reduced wage bill by not tying him to a new £150-£200k deal which can be spent on other players.
{Ed001's Note - he had been trying to get out for a while.}
28 Jan 2025 18:05:08
Liverpool players NOT CALLED UP for Girona game tomorrow night.
Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Diaz, Salah, Gomez, Jota and Jones.
Copied from Romano.
Great to see these lot having a rest ready for the Bournemouth game, get in!
1.) 28 Jan 2025 18:24:23
What about the PSV game?
2.) 28 Jan 2025 18:29:28
That would be very interesting if true. A supposed 11 then of:
Kelleher
Bradley, Quansah, Endo, Tsimikas.
Morton, Elliot, Nyoni.
Chiesa, Gakpo, Nunez
Danns
I'd hope that team would win tbh.
Also I think you meant PSV unless I'm going mad. again.
3.) 28 Jan 2025 18:32:58
Salah thanks have we arranged a friendly with Girona at the same time as we play PSV.
4.) 28 Jan 2025 18:34:49
Kelleher, Bradley, Endo, Quansah, Tsimi, Morton, Mcconnell, Elliot, Chiesa, Nunez, Gakpo is the lienup perhaps.
5.) 28 Jan 2025 18:45:30
It’s a no brainer. No point risking injury or tiredness ahead of a crucial PL game on Saturday. It’s a dead rubber anyway.
6.) 28 Jan 2025 18:57:29
Some people wow!
7.) 28 Jan 2025 19:20:33
Those players must be playing PSV while the second group. play Girona, money must be tight if we are playing exhibition matches during the season now.
8.) 28 Jan 2025 20:01:25
Hello MO, you're looking at too many noughts at the end of the contract ye won't sign, or been on the "GIN"ona!
Arne may play a full strength team (oh no! ) tomorrow at PSV, the reason is this is his most bitter, bitter dutch rival in charge of PSV Peter Bosz, will Arne want to lose face and prestige for the first time he will take his LFC side to his most bitter and hated rival.
Last season Arne managing Feyernoord finished second to PSV and Bosz by seven points, will he want to finish second to him again tomorrow with a far better side LFC than Feyernoord last year.
The incentives for Arne for revenge are massive, we need one point to finish top spot ahead of Barcelona and the "extra revenue" (thank you JK23)
PSV needs victory to secure their place in the last 16.
PSV if the winners tomorrow night will also avoid the extra knockout round next month.
Although I don't want Arne to play his full strength team. However his "honour" and "reputation" is at stake tomorrow and all his Feyenoord backroom staff who came with him also, Arne will come out with all guns blazing.
9.) 28 Jan 2025 20:02:32
Nallo at CB and Endo in MF please.
This is the only way to preserve energy for the run in, lest we not make the same mistakes as the 2 nearly quad seasons.
10.) 28 Jan 2025 20:30:08
He's practically left our starting 11 home.
11.) 28 Jan 2025 20:31:24
Sorry guys. Obviously meant to say bruges. My bad.
12.) 28 Jan 2025 20:54:06
I love the fact that @westeood corrected the op whilst naming 12 players in his starting 11! ?.
13.) 28 Jan 2025 21:31:43
Romano - HAHAHAHA - i wet myself a bit!
14.) 29 Jan 2025 03:14:43
Lol ? I was in a rush posting and didn't even realise myself that he'd said Girona!
15.) 29 Jan 2025 04:52:45
I posted? He did say?
Salah, here comes your multiple identities
Unless I’m not comprehending something?
16.) 29 Jan 2025 07:51:30
sgynwa, I think Salah copied and pasted the post from Romano's social media account. So he posted it word for word, and therefore copied over Romano's mistake.
17.) 28 Jan 2025 18:23:41
PSV. But still, it’s great news if you ask me.
03 Dec 2024 13:14:27
PSG chairman Al Khelaifi on Mo Salah links: “It’s NOT true, we are not in talks”.
“He’s a fantastic and amazing player, but we’ve never considered Salah to be honest”.
“We know every club would love to have him, but this rumor about us is simply not true”.
1.) 04 Dec 2024 19:12:08
So that’s a yes then ?. You always know when people in football are lying, their lips move.
06 Jan 2021 20:43:15
Ed2, I can't see us buying anybody this window because we're skint. Where is the money coming from for the summer transfer window? or are we going to have to sell big to buy big?
{Ed002's Note - Clubs need to balance the books - Liverpool spent last summer accumulating debt. They have plenty of players that can be sold to refresh but it is critical that they resolve their squad management issues with HG and Club Developed players.}
1.) 07 Jan 2021 03:31:44
We need to start selling fringe players for realistic prices, and we need to do this fast. Otherwise where is the money for players we actually need going to come from?
Origi, Adrian, Keita, Shaq, Milner, Larouci, karius, Awoniyi, Wilson, Ojo, Woodburn, Millar, Grujic etc.
We have been holding on to these players too long where they are either sat warming the bench eating up huge paychecks or getting fared out on pointless loans with no end in sight.
Very poor squad management imo. No wonder the club's wage bill is through the roof and we don't have money to spare for transfers.
West Ham r about to sell Haller to Ajax. Commonsense dictates we test the waters and offer them Origi for 15 million pounds and see if they bite. We need money for a CB now by hook or crook.
2.) 07 Jan 2021 07:10:07
Bang out of order to include Milner on that list IB. His contract is up this summer so you’ll get your wish.
{Ed001's Note - he is contracted until summer 2022.}
3.) 07 Jan 2021 07:57:07
Milner but no ox? No way Indian.
4.) 07 Jan 2021 09:29:01
Milner is 36, why’s it bang out of order? Yes he’s a great player but he doesn’t play week in week out and will be the same next season if he stays. There’s a time when the club need to look forward. I agree ox should be on that list along with matip and phillips.
5.) 07 Jan 2021 09:55:47
The club is a business now and I’ve no doubt they will sell any player if needed to balance the books and I have no problem with this. Players want to leave all the time and won’t look back. Life moves on am afraid!
6.) 07 Jan 2021 10:57:45
If you can’t see how IB’s message is disrespectful to a great servant like Milner, then I can’t be bothered to even debate with you pegleg.
7.) 07 Jan 2021 12:19:23
'sat warming the bench eating up huge paychecks' Pegleg would you associate this with Milner? Let's give him the respect he deserves.
8.) 07 Jan 2021 13:13:14
So by your logic the club needs 11 players who play week in week out. We don't need back up players or players for rotation?
9.) 07 Jan 2021 13:49:45
I agree with ShaqAttack. Bang out of order to put loyal and decent players on a list of people we should get rid of!
In the words of Bill Shankley: "If you can't support us when we lose or draw, then don't support us when we win"
The message is "stay loyal to the club and the team at all times"
Have faith in the club who won 4 trophies for their supporters in last 12 months.
10.) 07 Jan 2021 14:48:40
I think we should keep Milner until he retires in 2022. When he signed his contract he spoke of his desire to coach at Liverpool when he hangs up his boots. He is the ultimate role model and still a very dependable player in multiple positions.
11.) 07 Jan 2021 14:52:35
the irony of your all defending one player but happy to bash the others on the list.
12.) 07 Jan 2021 15:34:05
Origi - has effectively been replaced already with Jota and Minamino, I love the guy but it's an obvious place for us to raise some funds and for him to get the move and playing time he deserves
Adrian - Has dome well but Kelleher has stepped up well. I doubt we'd get much for him though
Keita - This is the move I'd really like to see. I've always had hopes for Keita but he hasn't settled and injuries have seen him struggle to establish himself. A move could work for best for both him to reset and to raise some real funds for the club
Shaq - Hasn't played much so I'd see if we can raise anything for him and bring back Elliott
Milner - I'd keep him until he won't have us anymore!
Grujic - I'd really like to see him return and establish himself as a replacement for Gini (assuming he leaves), but I suspect he may move on unfortunately.
The rest are fringe/ kids IMO so won't get much for them.
In short, I don't see how we're likely to be a huge pool of funds unless someone like Salah were to move on.
{Ed002's Note - Adrian is out of contract in the summer - he is not going to be sold.}
13.) 07 Jan 2021 15:34:37
In what way am I being disrespectful to Milner? He is past his best, has been getting injured recently and is no longer a first team player. He is on 100k plus a week wages.
If we want to start trimming the squad, these difficult decisions need to be made. Milner has been a great servant to the club but it's time to move on. The senior players at the club like VVD, Fabinho, Alisson etc need to step up and become the leaders of the new look squad LFC will be building in the coming years.
14.) 07 Jan 2021 15:37:32
You can also add Phillips to that list. I'd keep Ox simply for the HG quota and Matip coz I doubt Klopp wants to overhaul the CB department in one go.
15.) 07 Jan 2021 18:22:33
Milner is a role model to the youth can play multiple roles in the squad and also fittest player every pre season he's a example to everyone else.
16.) 08 Jan 2021 14:11:49
Td red, where have I said that? I do t think he meant to put Milner in the bracket I certainly don’t. I think he’s a great player who’s served us well but unfortunately at his age he can be improved on. I’m also happy to see him stay but don’t get half the fans when they’re happy to see the likes of gini leave but cry over the mention of Milner going.
17.) 09 Jan 2021 09:39:20
The way I see it, we got VVD, Gomez to return to join Matip, Nat, Rhys and the kids. I still think we have more then enough cover in the CB position unless we are going to overspend to have 10 players per position.
18.) 09 Jan 2021 21:49:36
1) we don’t when VVD/ Gomez return to full match fitness never mind if.
2) Matip is hugely injury prone. Even if he does make it back for Utd game no doubt he’ll be injured again soon.
3) Philips wouldn’t be here if a buyer coulda been found in the summer. Wasn’t even included in CL squad. Contract up in summer.
4) Vast majority of supporters didn’t know Rhys existed start of the season. Was playing non league football 10mths ago. Not ready to be starting Prem league week in week out.
5) If Philips and Rhys was ready to be regular centrebacks then we wouldn’t need Hendo starting there. And I really don’t want to see Hendo starting there again.

The Pharaoh’s Oath: How Arne Slot Convinced Salah to Stay Until 2029
Liverpool fans had spent months in agony, fearing their Egyptian King would finally depart Anfield. But Arne Slot, the Dutch mastermind, had other ideas. The moment he was officially announced as Liverpool’s new manager, he embarked on an unconventional mission to secure Salah’s signature.
It all began with a secret meeting - deep in the hidden chambers of Anfield, rumored to be beneath the Kop, where legends of Liverpool’s past supposedly whispered their wisdom. Slot had invited Salah under the guise of a tactical discussion, but what awaited the Egyptian winger was far more mystical.
As Salah entered, the room dimmed, and a mysterious glow emanated from the walls. Slot stood there in a red robe, holding an ancient-looking scroll. “Mo, ” he said, his voice echoing. “This is the Contract of the Pharaohs, a sacred agreement that binds only the greatest warriors to Liverpool for eternity. ”
Salah squinted. “I don’t recall ever hearing about this. ”
Slot grinned. “Of course not. Only those deemed worthy by the spirits of Shankly and paisley may see it. ”
Then, the real magic began. Slot produced a holographic projection of the future. It showed Salah in 2029, lifting multiple Premier League and Champions League titles, breaking every Liverpool record imaginable, and, most importantly, still looking as fit as he did at 26.
“I know Saudi clubs are offering you billions, ” Slot continued, “but can they offer you legacy? Can they offer you eternal status as the greatest Liverpool player of all time? ”
Salah hesitated. “I mean… the money is quite good. ”
At that moment, Virgil van Dijk burst through the door, carrying a golden platter with a single, perfectly grilled piece of chicken shawarma. “Mo, this is the best shawarma in Europe. And it’s only available if you sign. ”
Salah took a bite. His eyes widened. “Is this…? ”
“Yes, ” Slot confirmed. “It’s made with the same spices they used in the ancient Egyptian royal kitchens. ”
Tears welled up in Salah’s eyes. The vision of his future, the legendary contract, the perfect shawarma - it was all too much. He grabbed a quill (because apparently, this was now medieval times) and scrawled his signature on the contract.
The room erupted. Klopp - who had secretly been watching from the shadows, disguised as a janitor - wiped away a proud tear. The ghost of Bill Shankly gave a silent nod. Liverpool’s Egyptian King had committed his future to Anfield until 2029.
And so, Salah stayed. Not for the money, not for the fame, but for the legacy, the love of the Kop, and, most importantly, the shawarma.

@ Salah My dear friend if I could be negative for a moment. Mr Slot isn't our manager ??.
Other than that it was a great read big love to you. Dreading the day I have to lose my name on here for a year. As per your request I will still hold my part of the deal if we win the league.

We might not have been putting on flashy displays of dominance this season, but that’s not what matters, we’ve been getting the results. Time and time again, we've found ways to get the three points, even if we haven’t looked absolutely untouchable. The key thing is, we’ve stayed in control, steady and reliable. Whatever we’re doing is working, and it’s leading us to the top.
Arsenal might feel the same pressure we do, but they’ve got the added weight of having to chase us down, hoping we falter. But the reality is we’re the ones in the driver’s seat. While our performances might not always scream "champions, " the same can be said for Arsenal or City. The big difference is we’re getting the results when it matters most.
It’s easy to get caught up in the fear of history repeating itself, of falling short like we’ve seen in past seasons, but this time feels different. We’ve been through the ups and downs, and this team has a resilience that’s hard to ignore. We may have our blips, but so will Arsenal. What matters is that we’re ahead, not playing catch-up, and the rest of the league has to chase us.
The title race will have its twists and turns - there’s no doubt it’ll likely go down to the final couple of games but that’s just the Liverpool way. We don’t do things the easy way, and honestly that makes it all the more rewarding.
Not rewarding for my ticker though, I really thought Wolves was going to grab a late goal and we'd get another draw but we did what we do best - we won. Enjoy it and look forward to when we win the league.
1.) 17 Feb 2025 16:11:55
I have to admit if it was city chasing us and not arsenal, i would not be hopeful. But thankfully it isn't and I do believe we will win the title.
2.) 17 Feb 2025 16:54:02
Taurus01, maybe if it was City chasing us, we play a lot better and win more games than we have won due to recent history and the size of the opposition. In the end, we will never know really, IMO.
As for Arsenal, I think they play their games with one eye on our game which has led to their screw ups. Look at the Everton game at the Emirates in addition to us playing (and struggling at the time) Fulham and instead of focusing on Everton, some of their fans were rejoicing at the red card Robbo got thinking we would drop points and at the end of the day, they dropped points.
Same for the Brentford game where Partey said they were watching it only to see Darwin come of the bench and win it for us. Then what did they do? They choke a 2 nil lead to Villa and they are in the hole they're in since. The lack of focus from them is pretty jarring, IMO.
3.) 17 Feb 2025 17:01:12
We've still only lost one league game all season. The media are creating as much hype as possible to destabilise the slot machine.
4.) 17 Feb 2025 17:11:40
It’d be nice if we beat Villa Wednesday. That’s all I’m concentrating on.
5.) 17 Feb 2025 17:27:56
I agree salah. But we didn't feel in control against wolves, form has dipped quite a bit over the last few weeks imo and it is a worry even though I would think we will still win the league.
6.) 17 Feb 2025 17:44:58
That's the main thing Salah, enjoy it we have no idea if/ when we will be back in this position. But it's hard when they put in a performance like yesterday.
I am just waiting for that moment, similar to the Salah goal against United where everyone believes it'll happen. If Anfield is as tetchy as it was yesterday it's only a matter of time before we drop points at home.
We need it to be bouncing between now and season end to give us the best chance. If, somehow, we win the last 6 home games that's 78 which means 8 points needed from 7 away games. Based on an estimate of 86 being enough, that's Arsenal dropping 6 (3 of those against us, between now and seasons end) It's all theoretical of course, but Anfield is critical to this title push.
7.) 17 Feb 2025 18:25:10
We seem to be far more convincing away from home - playing with less anxiety. I am hoping this means we clear these next two significant hurdles - Villa and City - with some points, but we need our centre forwards to start scoring.
Arsenal are not going away: like us, they are extremely difficult to beat. My feeling is that this will go right down to the final day.
8.) 17 Feb 2025 18:34:14
That was not the same Wolves as under O'Neil and had the new dude been there from start of the season their league position would be far better. We weren't great but they played well.
9.) 17 Feb 2025 19:27:12
Crucially we hit 60 points yesterday, will take ArseNIL at least three games to hit 60 points. (West Ham london derby, Forest away for the runners up spot, man utd away relegation candidate and also have an appalling away record versus united one win in the last 17 premier years, who have already knocked them out of the this seasons FA Cup) .
Villa only played against ten man Ipswich for the whole of the second half and drew 1-1, but the age old enigma applies why does every opposition player we have ever faced, only play at one TRILLION per cent against LFC only and have the rest of the season off for all the other opponents since the club first began in 1892.
10.) 17 Feb 2025 20:11:43
"One win in the last 17 premier years". If you hear some Arsenal fans talk about this game, you would think they win at OT a lot more times.
11.) 17 Feb 2025 20:32:35
Arsenal won at old Trafford in 2024 and 2020 in the league and 2015 in the Fa cup.
12.) 17 Feb 2025 20:52:42
"Thank You" JK23, Still a very poor premier only away record, hoping it stays that way, even though man utd will benefit sadly.
13.) 17 Feb 2025 20:57:47
Is it just me or does it seem like every time we have a player booked everyone.
14.) 17 Feb 2025 21:00:37
I was going to say, every time we have a player booked everyone wants them sent off for their next foul?
There’s no way Bradley deserved a second yellow and there no way Konate deserved a second yellow. It’s beyond a joke.
There’s so much pressure being put on it that Slot is having to make decisions to take people off to navigate this ridiculous witch hunt.
15.) 17 Feb 2025 21:15:35
007 Utd are awful this season but hopefully they raise their game for Arsenal like they did for us.
Arsenal have a load of injuries especially in the forward line so they are going to find scoring goals even harder to come by one would imagine.
16.) 17 Feb 2025 23:37:03
I was thinking the same thing too, Robboslostlegs. Just because it was a foul doesn't mean that it's a second yellow card. I mean, if we were on the receiving end of it, I would call for a second yellow as well but I'd accept if the referee chose not to give it. I see Wolves are blaming us too for Agbadou's yellow when it was entirely his fault for waving an imaginary card to the ref. Konate was lucky the ref gave him a second chance but it isn't that big a deal really.
17.) 18 Feb 2025 01:20:16
I'd sooner play poorly and win rather than keep playing well and dropping points.
There are similarities with last season but the differences are City are well behind and Arsenal are not the same team, either.
That could still change either way though.
Maybe if we'd signed a couple of players in January we could have had two more players available and we were still dropping points.
Maybe we could have bid big money for Ollie Watkins, been turned down and still ended up without a CF.
Not knowing what happens makes it interesting.
18.) 18 Feb 2025 09:22:23
Exactly Robboslostlegs and Dracred, it seems the fans do not understand refereeing at all. The ref is allowed the discretion to not book a player right after booking him the first time by showing some pragmatism and letting the player know that is his last warning. We see this all the time and in fact, we see that thy call the player and the captain over to have the capt. calm his team mate down otherwise he'll be off. No new ground has been broken here, really.
I think They fail to understand that the ref is there to not only apply the rules but also, to manage the game with common sense and weigh each incidents on the merits even if we disagree with them. Seems all they want is for the rules to be applied "to the letter of the law" (which is rubbish) when it comes to other teams BUT not their own. Cringe stuff.
19.) 18 Feb 2025 13:02:06
"it seems the fans do not understand refereeing at all"
Coming from the person who accuses the PGMOL of corruption every time a decision goes against us.
25 Jan 2025 17:22:06
Well played Liverpool, was hoping for a clean sheet today but nevermind - a wins a win. A great performance from the lads, we really turned it on.
Hopefully we rest some of the lads against PSV ready for Bournemouth after which I think will be a real test but we can do it. Believe.
1.) 25 Jan 2025 17:59:12
We’ve picked up nicely since Szob and Konate have come back, and are now match sharp again. Bournemouth have more pace and quality than Ipswich so will give us a tough game, but we’re in a nice run of form again so we should go there looking for a win.
City are looking out of sorts against Chelsea at the moment, but have goals in them so could get a result against Arsenal. Neither of them are that convincing at the moment.

Nice one, Salah. I wanted a clean sheet as well BUT I also wanted the 3 points regardless of how we got it so Im good. We also filled our boots goals-wise as well so pretty chuffed. On to PSV (hopefully we rest some guys some rest) and then to the big one at B'mouth.

I’m convinced Mo has a clause in his contract about how he is subbed off and when lol
4-0 game and we have the opportunity to get some minutes into Chiesa and we leave it to the last 5 minutes?
Not complaining but c’mon man, what are we doing here.
4.) 25 Jan 2025 20:21:08
Szobo was awesome today. Could have had a hat-trick. I don’t understand why Salah played so long either. He should have been subbed for Chiesa as soon as the 4th went in.
5.) 25 Jan 2025 21:34:12
@Faithinworks, I think we will see next champions league game. Remember that Slot said not so long ago that Chiesa was not match fit, so maybe he didn't play him more because he is going to give him an extended run in the next CL game and FA cup game.

I see that City, who 'smashed it' in the transfer market, had two of their new players starting today.
One had a 'mare and was taken off early in the second half and the other was offside more than Darwin Nunez. But we're still going on about resting players.
Why not just keep doing what we're doing and rest them in the summer?
Yeah, we could bring in 2 or 3 players like City did but why change a winning side?
Those shiny new toys might not be what you think they are.
17 Jan 2025 16:13:14
I'm having a think at the minute. What's your best ever Liverpool team? It's 77/ 78 for me, there's no beating it. Let's go on your age as well, what's the best team you have seen in your time? Some youngsters may well say the season of 19/ 20 is their best Liverpool team, the list goes on.
We've had tons of good teams over the years but for me nothing beats the 77/ 78 team.
One thing I feel has changed over the years is passion and the determination they had, the lads back then had that passion but these days it's not there as much, it's not gone but it's nothing like it used to be because of money in my opinion. Back then it was a sport and now it's a business. I dread to think what it'll be like in 10-20 years from now but we get on with it. Lots has changed over the years but one thing that'll never change is my/ our love for Liverpool.
Lots of talk about contracts and new signings for ages now from myself and most people here, it's a weird period we're in because we have every right to be excited but at the same time we have every right to be concerned. Lots of changes are coming and I'm not too sure the changes are going to be good ones because none of us know something that hasn't happened yet.
I think when we're concerned we can easily be misinterpreted because it's online but we all want the same thing, that's what matters more than anything. We agree, we disagree, it is what it is. It'd be a boring website if we all agreed, it'd also be boring if we were winning every single game, sounds stupid I know but it would be.
Liverpool don't do things the easy way and after a few off results I find it more exciting as daft as it may sound, the gap is closing but I do fully believe we'll win the league and something else. We just have to believe and what will be next season will be.
Point of the matter is, enjoy - this is the entertainment part of our life and no matter what Liverpool will always be special to the majority of us whether we're winning every single trophy at the top or if we're 7th in the league.

77/ 78 team was obviously great but I don’t really remember that era. The early eighties teams were also top class. The Barnes, Beardsley team could well be regarded higher if they were allowed to dominate Europe as they surely would have.
2.) 17 Jan 2025 17:20:03
Can’t remember the 77/ 78 as I was only 4, my favourite team was probably the 87/ 88 team when Beardsley, Barnes and Aldo were tearing it up and we’re a joy to watch. Shame that team never got to play in Europe as they would have taken some stopping to add to European cups.
3.) 17 Jan 2025 17:20:37
Good question salah. i started supporting lfc in 1986,1st game I can remember watching is 86 cup final v everton. Best team I've seen is the 18-20 side, absolutely outstanding team who had bit of everything from all angles.
87-89 team brilliant to watch as well and maybe better squad depth than 18-20 side but I think vvd+ali in the defence swings it for me.
4.) 17 Jan 2025 17:28:20
Good post, Salah, though we finished runners up to Forest in 77/ 78. Do you mean the 76/ 77 team, which is where my username comes from?
My favourite team is between the 87/ 88 and 19/ 20 teams.
5.) 17 Jan 2025 17:49:16
83/ 84. They could play a bit, but if you wanted a scrap they could give you that too. Nearly won the lot.
6.) 17 Jan 2025 17:58:35
Not necessary the best team, in fact far from it. But something about 17/ 18 felt special. After so many false dawns you just knew this was different, the way we destroyed City in Europe and those 7-0s we dished out etc. The aura Jurgen had in the first part of his tenure
It didn’t even feel like hope, it was more than that. It felt like a certainty we were about to do something great. Losing that final the way we did should’ve felt horrible (and I did for a few days don’t get me wrong ?) . But I just knew we’d be back. Can’t put my finger on exactly what it was but it was some ride.
7.) 17 Jan 2025 18:10:25
Been a good few elite Liverpool teams . loved the 70s one but still bit young to remember clearly. but the 84 team had a bit of everything, could mix it up or play great football. then the 87 version but all these teams had desire n belief aswel as the skill set .
8.) 17 Jan 2025 18:23:20
I only have vague memories pre 1980 mainly crying when Terry Mcdermot left, but early 80’s where great teams Rush Molby Johnson etc, I agree the Barnes Beardsley Aldridge team and the Klopp 19/ 20 champions league and prem winning team on pure at times breath tacking football top it for me, and agree the Barnes Beardsley team would of dominated Europe too, but at a push those two for me, the best of a very good bunch. But as i say to my lad, life has its ups and downs but over time the redmen won't let you down…. his 15 now, so thus far he can’t ague with me……although he hasn't had his Ronnie Rosenthal. years yet.
9.) 17 Jan 2025 18:39:21
87-89 team for me. what a team.
10.) 17 Jan 2025 19:48:51
The team of Barnes, Beardsley, Aldo, McMahon etc were some outfit. The 5-0 drubbing they gave out to Notts Forest must be the most complete game of football I have ever watched. Could literally have been 10-0 . The best Liverpool team for me.
11.) 17 Jan 2025 19:56:28
Bill Shanklys team that won the FA Cup for the first time in clubs history 1965, all on the same wages of circa £30 pound a week. Played for each other and the love of the club.
12.) 17 Jan 2025 20:03:32
Yeah I'd go with late 70s team. first match I ever went to was LFC v Oulu in 1980. European Cup.10-1.MC Dermott and Souness got hat tricks. I even remember MC Dermott trying a Scorpion kick. just cracking memories from a great match. me dad said to a 10 year old me, don't expect that score every game.!
13.) 17 Jan 2025 20:15:09
I’m with Rome again. I loved both. 30 years apart. Both teams gave you same feeling when watching them. Only football can do that.
14.) 17 Jan 2025 20:41:18
Lots of great Liverpool teams, the most recent Premiership/ CL winning team would be in with a shout, having watched Liverpool since the early 70’s, I feel the league winning teams during the era when English clubs were banned from Europe really missed out on greatness, I think the Barnes/ Beardsley/ Houghton team would have won more European cups when they were in their prime. But for me, it was the team that beat Roma in the EC.
15.) 17 Jan 2025 20:52:44
Just as an aside to a great thread, which player from former Pool great teams would you love to have in today’s team?
For me, it would be one Greame Souness, what a player he was, better than Roy Keane. A combination of skill, leadership and nastiness that would be a £150m player today. Of course he wouldn’t get away today with the bone crunching tackles he used to dish out in his prime, but he would adapt to todays game.
16.) 17 Jan 2025 21:25:40
19/ 20 was our 3rd best under Klopp I reckon. We didn’t even play that well in half the games we won everything just seemed to go our way? although I think we could have won the treble if Adrian didn’t make those mistakes in the CL and Fa cup in the same week. Season before in 18/ 19 we got a point less but won the CL and played better. 21/ 22 despite not winning either of the big 2 funnily enough I think was our best under Jurgen.
17.) 17 Jan 2025 21:36:10
Joe Fagan’s team. 83/ 84 season. Unbelievable team.
18.) 17 Jan 2025 21:58:16
If we had Barnes, Nicol or Souness or Gerard we would have the league by now. Probably prime Robbo as well. Not all of them, just any one of them.
19.) 17 Jan 2025 22:07:16
Souness is a good shout, D-day. My favourite all time player is Barnes, but Souness is what's needed more in today's team.
20.) 17 Jan 2025 22:33:01
Jordan Simon, Prime Souness would be the one. He was a proper centre midfielder.
21.) 17 Jan 2025 22:51:10
Good question to pose Salah. I started following the pool in 1977. Steve Heighway was my idol even at the end of his career. European cup final 1978 was definitely a better team than 1977 IMO - the 3 Scots raised the bar for me.
In 84 Rush and Dalglish were the perfect partnership up front but the midfield (Lee, Johnston, Whelan and Souness) may not have been as good as 1978 (McDermott, Case, Souness and Kennedy) .
Finally hard to look past the 2019 side with Mane, Salah and Firmino up front and Virgil imperious in defence. Also had the best goalkeeper of all the sides in Alison. And Trent and Robbo were assist machines. Maybe it’s fading memory but the 19 side for me was the best - just about. Didn’t win as much but was outstanding.
{Ed025's Note - im a massive fan of Alisson Jonbon, and i dont know if you seen Ray Clemence play mate?...but for me ray was better than Becker..
22.) 18 Jan 2025 00:33:03
That's an excellent points about the 78 and 84 midfields, Jonbonone.
Btw, going off your name, are you a horse racing fan, mate?
23.) 17 Jan 2025 19:38:20
Ed1 + ed25 + other eds what would your opinion be on salahs question? Be interesting to hear your opinions if use had time.
{Ed025's Note - i was a big fan of the Keegan and Toshack days when i was young Digger, and then the 80,s team with the likes of Rush and Dalglish were a really good watch, its so hard to compare era,s though mate and the 19/20 season under Klopp was superb to watch, but for me the 30 year slump you had were probably the most memorable.. :)
17 Apr 2025 15:32:14
Nah I don't see it happening either FM to be fair. What a surprise that'd be though if he did. After all the rumours and then he goes and signs a new contract? We can hope!
17 Apr 2025 11:34:44
Great news, glad to see it's finally done. Now time for Trent to sign? it wouldn't surprise me, nothing is done yet.
02 Apr 2025 16:09:49
I'd love to see more from Endo but I've been thinking that all season and it's not happened much. He'd of been perfect for many of the games yet hasn't been put on, I don't get why.
With Chiesa I'm convinced the lad won't make it with us but at the same time he deserves his chance. Will he get it? I doubt it. I think we'll only use him if we absolutely have to.
20 Mar 2025 15:13:35
Haha John, as would I mate.
18 Mar 2025 14:57:48
This is a story I wouldn't say is nonsense. It may well be, who knows? But it's not nonsense for a team like PSG to be interested in a player like VVD, he improves any team. I think there might be something to this story, any team getting him on a free will be laughing for the next year or two.
This is what concerns me more than anything is the three lads are all going to be getting offers from all over the place. The fact they've not agreed anything with any other club proves what Ed1 is saying - they want to stay. Get them signed up .
Last game at Anfield were going to see the three saying their goodbyes. Absolutely shocking.
20 Apr 2025 16:32:01
Happy Easter mate!
20 Apr 2025 03:49:04
It's the british way Oli. We're not happy unless we're complaining!
19 Apr 2025 13:20:45
Nice one Barry! I'm also going. I'll be there from the 23rd for a few days, I can't wait!
18 Apr 2025 15:08:23
She died ages ago didn't she?
18 Apr 2025 03:26:07
Davey, I have the tool at the ready mate!
