I'm constantly impressed by Declan Rice, and think he will be a top top player. Are Liverpool or any others showing serious interest in him? I know we have Fabinho but I imagine he could play higher up the pitch if necessary.
{Ed002's Note - Manchester United are keen.}
1.) 18 Oct 2021 07:45:02
Why would he take a step down to go to Man U?
2.) 18 Oct 2021 09:29:43
He’ll end up at United or Chelsea, West Ham want £100m for him so he’s not in our price range.
3.) 18 Oct 2021 10:25:20
Who is better Rice or Phillips?
4.) 18 Oct 2021 11:42:36
Phillips better passer. Rice better engine and all round I reckon.
5.) 18 Oct 2021 12:15:53
Really don't get the hype with Rice. £30m player with an inflated fee IMO.
6.) 18 Oct 2021 12:45:31
Not for me. Massively hyped up by the media imo. Not sure what he brings tbh.
7.) 18 Oct 2021 13:10:27
Rice is on a completely different level than Phillips. Phillips is a fine player, but Rice is one of the best talents in England right now.
8.) 18 Oct 2021 14:34:02
Mftonjes can you explain why you think he's one of the best talents? I couldn't disagree more but I respect your opinion 👌.
9.) 18 Oct 2021 15:11:34
I personally think Phillips is too slow and not defensively strong enough, whereas Rice is better defensively, he’s also not particularly quick and is as mobile as the QE2 and I don’t think he’s as clever a defensive player as either Fabinho or Rodri.
Either way he’ll be United’s big summer signing next year and Ole’s final piece of the jigsaw #1426 and counting.
{Ed0666's Note - Are we comparing Nat Philips to Declan Rice? They play completely different positions
10.) 18 Oct 2021 15:14:09
I am impressed with Rice too.
He keeps, carries and distributes the ball excellently.
Better than Gini for sure.
Not the same kind of player as Fab.
Probably more of a Henderson replacement.
The thing is, I have been looking at midfielders in every team and see which can improve Liverpool. Ty
Despite the constant criticism of Liverpool midfield, there aren't that many better I would take.
If you consider KDB, for sure he will improve the team.
Otherwise, I think Rice will do a job (far better than Phillips) .
And we truly miss Gerrard.
If the current team has a Gerrard, we will indisputably the best team in the world.
{Ed0666's Note - Rice is a superb player goes about his work in an efficient and effective manner and would certainly be a worthy successor to Hendo. The midfield player I would take is Ndombele if Bissouma has been a naughty boy. That fella is mercurial. Lord knows what position he plays because he’s everywhere.
11.) 18 Oct 2021 17:10:32
Ndombele or bissouma Ed?
{Ed0666's Note - I think Ndombele would be perfect for us with the personnel we have
12.) 18 Oct 2021 19:25:44
Tielemans without doubt he is different from what we have.
{Ed0666's Note - inconsistent tho no?
13.) 18 Oct 2021 22:11:24
I meant Phillips at Leeds United Ed.
{Ed0666's Note - thanks for cleaning that up mate. I was beginning to think I’d lost all my faculties. For sure Rice over Philips for me. Rice is a Hendo in the making
14.) 18 Oct 2021 22:24:50
Can’t compete with Newcastle. Am sure they’ll want him.
15.) 19 Oct 2021 09:39:59
I agree I think Rice would be a great Hendo successor, it’s a pity he is likely too expensive for us.
16.) 19 Oct 2021 12:28:35
Rice miles better than Gini. I know there are Gini haters on here but get a grip. Rice is slow. Often poorly positioned. Average passer. He’s a slightly better Dier IMO and massively overhyped by the press (for a change) .
17.) 19 Oct 2021 13:07:09
But Ed Ndombele has baggage, too. He seems to have a real attitude problem that's causing issues at Spurs.
18.) 19 Oct 2021 13:11:30
Gandalf, I just love the player. First, he's highly skilled and intelligent. There's something instinctual to the way he plays, especially for a guy who is often in the defensive half. To that point, he's plays difficult positions, ones that often takes a lot of experience to master, and he's doing it really well as a very young player. Also the age is relevant too, because he's playing for a club that isn't well known for development, and he continues to improve each season and likely in a trial by fire situation. I don't watch him regularly, rather a handful of times a season, and every time I've watched him I've thought he's been better than the last time I watched him. There are few players that stand out to me like this.
No player is a perfect player, but it really feels like there is a student of the craft in him and given his base skillset, he has a ton to work with. I see him being one of the best (potentially the best) English midfielders of the next decade. There's a reason why United and supposedly City are both wanting him badly.
{Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath for Rice.}
19.) 19 Oct 2021 13:24:33
Ed002 - Ha, I agree. I don't believe there is a fit between him and Liverpool at all, I was just telling Gandalf why I like the player. He's already too high priced for Liverpool.
20.) 19 Oct 2021 20:47:03
for me Ndombele looks great in spells then you don't know his on the pitch a lot of the time for spurs. But when he does put a spell in his great on the ball I don't think the prem suits him. A better version of Naby but not a player for a full season in the prem for me. Bissouma if he has not done anything wrong would be a lot better fit. As for Rice being a Henderson replacement I think I would rather Curtis Jones do that.
21.) 20 Oct 2021 20:13:17
Ed0666 agree with you that rice is the closest thing to Hendo. Tielemans only 24 so consistently would improve don’t you think?
{Ed0666's Note - he needs to finesse and hone his game some more in my opinion and add consistency
22.) 21 Oct 2021 07:41:36
Whilst I think Rice is good I think he is overhyped because he is English. In terms of us I do not think we would be a good fit. He is not a Hendo type player as he doesn’t have the fitness or passing range of Hendo. He would do a job in defensive midfield but the lack of direct creativity from our central midfielders overall makes us quite reliant on the passing range of Fabinho which is very understated. He would be overly expensive and not an upgrade on our strongest 11 which should always be the aim.
23.) 23 Oct 2021 01:20:06
Still hating on Gini. SMH
I don't see why we would sign a midfielder. Even if you are looking for someone to replace Henderson in the future, Curtis is that player for me. If there HAS to be a premier league player out of the ones you have listed, I would like Tielemans. And not because he flukes balls into the top corner against United :)
24.) 23 Oct 2021 20:26:09
Mftonjes
West ham aren't known for nurturing talent?
West ham have nurtured some of the best talent that's played in the premiership over the past 20 years. lampard, ferdinand, defoe, joe cole are only a few.
Declan rice is a great player though and west ham would do well to keep him. tielemans has stagnated in his career considering he was considered amongst the best up coming talent in the world as a teenager though he's still only 24. bellingham is worth a mention if were talking young english midfielders.
Seen that papers are linking us for a move for sterling again now too.
Fact is we have a decent squad that can compete when the majority stays fit.
Id be much happier with a double pivot fab and hendo and drop firmino into AM and play with an out and out striker.
11 Jan 2018 10:03:38
Heard from a good source that Ceballos is 'nailed on' to join before the window closes. No idea how my source knows but works within football and simply passed it on, make of it what you will.
Personally I would be a bit underwhelmed if the de facto replacement for Coutinho was Ceballos as seems a marked step down in quality but hey ho let's see what materialises.
1.) 11 Jan 2018 10:37:30
Why are people saying he is the replacement of coutinho? What if we are taking advantage of his situation at madrid?
Although I agree that he is not a Coutinho replacement, I think he is a good player and would be a good acquisition for the squad looking forward.
2.) 11 Jan 2018 10:55:19
Yes we ain't going to replace coutihno he is a world class Brazil international, but what we can do is strengthen the areas we are weak in we lack creative spark in midfield an someone who can manipulate the ball he is a gamble but could also turn out too b real quality well worth a punt especially if we can get keita early as well suddenly midfield is lookin healthy freeing up the attack, ox, mane, Salah, firmino, lallana, solanke, sturridge, nice options, still I would like us too buy an attacker like lemar, mahrez, suso, draxler wishful thinking though.
3.) 11 Jan 2018 12:00:02
I wonder if we will hear from wonder dog sparky?
4.) 11 Jan 2018 13:53:12
Hi eds i'm going to need your email addresses, mothers maiden names and the names of your first pets. uh. for science
Seriously though I hope we can do something like this, the buzz the club had post VVD left along with Phil.
5.) 11 Jan 2018 22:02:17
Coutinho was crap in midfield. Addressing the balance there would be an upgrade.
6.) 11 Jan 2018 22:39:08
Faith, he wasn’t really crap in midfield though was he? He played most games in midfield this season and had one of his best (half) seasons.
7.) 12 Jan 2018 19:12:12
our midfield is very weak at the moment, and could be the weakness that City will try and take control over, we really need at least one top player coming in this window, the name I have is the big guy from Roma,

15 May 2022 15:57:42
If they lost it'd of been slightly better but the way I see it is, even with a draw, it still means we need Villa to do something, which we likely would've needed anyway due to goal difference, so yeah let's pray for a miracle. Insane season this.
1.) 15 May 2022 16:08:01
extremely unlikely as i just realise AV plays 2 matches in 3 days
but hey, something strange may yet happen.

Thanks Seano. Was waiting for this, hadn't seen it before. 👍🏼.

I'm with you ArAy, I've been waiting for this one as well. I'm still waiting for the Man City match review.

I think we should get the Southampton review up before we play them again.

{Ed's Note - Seano_ has posted a new article entitled, Newcastle Vs Liverpool: View From A Red
1.) 01 May 2022 10:59:58
Cheers for these, agree with almost all apart from, I feel, it under-sells the red’s performance.
Newcastle started very brightly and they were quite aggressive, with a vocal crowd and upbeat mood around them, and there was definitely a physical battle to be won to establish superiority.
No one in red backed down, one-on-ones were won all over the park, and I thought this was particularly the case in midfield.
All three were really good, Naby is getting his foot in these days and even being a bit nasty with it at times.
Henderson faced a cacophony of boos anytime he went near the ball but it was the River Wear off a duck’s back to him 🤣
Really pleasing performance for me.
2.) 01 May 2022 11:48:27
Millie was superb also. Is his contract up at the end of the season?
3.) 01 May 2022 12:46:08
Cheers for that review mate. Spot on again.
4.) 01 May 2022 13:01:46
I thought midfield trio where excellent. joe Gomez also was great, pleasantly surprised by how good he has been going forward since he has played few games at rb, didn't think it in him. always was top class defender. We did look v tired last 10mins naturally enough after a 2.5 day turnaround from last game.
5.) 01 May 2022 13:02:42
Great review. It was an excellent performance that should have been reflected in a bigger scoreline. Naby and Joe were exceptional and Robbo was the epitome of our will and desire there at the end.
6.) 01 May 2022 13:53:45
I clearly remember reading some time back that Joe Gomez was one of the fastest in the team. We saw some of it, from time to time, as a CB, but it was in full view yesterday. He's definitely faster than TAA. in that position.

Thanks again Seano .
4.) 01 May 2022 10:53:15
Thought Fabinho was poor when he came on, slipped twice letting them through midfield, off the pace, passing was too slow. This is a guy who needs rhythm to be at his best.
Gomez was amazing and helped Matip’s side look solid. They’d obviously practiced long balls down our right to target Trent and matip but they got nothing out of Joe.
Keita was also on top form especially liked seeing him tracking back.
Shooting is a concern given we should have easily had 3 but defence and pressing was awesome.
26 Apr 2022 07:39:04
{Ed's Note - Seano_ has posted a new article entitled, Liverpool Vs Everton: View From A Red
1.) 26 Apr 2022 09:29:03
Fantastic review mate. Agree with pretty much everything there. I wonder is keita becoming the new Gini. At least he’s showing more effort and has been much better the last few weeks.
2.) 26 Apr 2022 12:14:24
AOE, great to see you on here again. You okay? When's the book release?
3.) 26 Apr 2022 13:55:21
Keita certainly looks like he is a part of the group now, if he can show high levels consistently it would definitely help the team. Consistency is the key though, you can only hope the penny has dropped and he is focused and professional, we’ll need everybody in the squad firing for this seasons conclusion.
4.) 26 Apr 2022 15:31:48
I still need convincing about Keita.
He has improved but he's still fourth choice for the midfield, at best. And that's with Henderson not at his usual level.
I'd love for Keita to prove me wrong but the jury is still out. It shouldn't be after the length of time he's been here.
5.) 26 Apr 2022 16:17:04
If the jury's still out after 4 years and at the age of 27 then it has been a failure. For the amount of money we paid for him, Keita has been a massive disappointment. It will be interesting to see what happens to him in the summer as he only has one year left on his contract. Honestly I feel that third starting midfield berth is the only realistic way to improve the starting XI this summer.
6.) 26 Apr 2022 17:10:14
Carvalho may be the answer as to what is going to happen to Keita.
7.) 26 Apr 2022 18:32:07
I agree, Babbity. I don't think Keita is the answer and I'm just hoping that Henderson can find his form and legs for the run in.
It almost reminds me of Karius a few seasons ago. He wasn't making mistakes but I never thought we could win the league with him and we went into a CL final and we saw what happened.
Next season, I think we need another quality midfielder or one of the youngsters to really step up.
This season, I'm hoping Hendo can give us 8 or 9 of his performances of old.
8.) 26 Apr 2022 19:32:37
ArAy1969, the both okay diff positions, IMO. Never seen Carvalho play but based on the clips I’ve seen, he’s more of a Coutinho type player. Keita has been a disappointment since he signed in my view as well but if Klopp is happy to keep this version of Naby then I’m here for it. The RBL version of Keita no longer exists, IMO so Klopp may have to make do with this version.
9.) 26 Apr 2022 19:53:52
Heya stone mate. I’m half way through the last in the spark city series so I’m taking a couple weeks break away from the grind. I think I’ve earned a little rest at the top end of the season when every match is a trauma. Once I’m done I can semi retire. Translation- I’ll try to be back on here a little more. For now though, this site is way too wonderfully distracting for me. I’m still not fully convinced on keita but he’s doing a job I never thought he would. Honestly- I was never a huge Gini fan either but klopp rated him. That was my point about klopp playing a player who could do decent things but was a little too quiet in matches. Still- he’s better now than he was a few months back. That can only be good. Ideally, I’d love hendo to come back to his blissful best.
10.) 27 Apr 2022 00:15:23
You're right Olired, they do play slightly different positions with Carvalho being more offensive and Keita starting off further back in the field. But we've seen Klopp shift players around to suit his system (Wijnaldum the #10 playing the #8 or even deeper roles for us) . I read Klopp bigging up Keita as "having a great future" ahead of him, and I took that as setting Keita up to gain interest and transfer him out. He certainly doesn't deserve a new contract with even higher wages than he's already getting.
06 May 2022 03:27:02
Thank you ED002 for your continual sharing of knowledge, I always appreciate your contributions and we, as an online community, are lucky to have you.
{Ed002's Note - You are very sweet.}
17 Apr 2022 11:17:24
Is Gomez definitely leaving? I really rate him I think it’d be a shame if he went.
{Ed002's Note - There is interest in him but nothing definate that I am aware of.}
15 Apr 2022 10:11:51
I agree with Stuie, Gomez is our 2nd best CB and perfectly suited to our system, letting him go would be a huge mistake.

Myriad can be used as either an adjective or noun:

31 Mar 2022 00:40:29
I’m not sure if he’ll get that many games to be honest, good prospect for sure but I could envisage us loaning him out once he is signed up - if Fulham are promoted, which seems likely, maybe he’ll get another season with them?
19 May 2022 01:05:15
@TJRed - you are the person who drew that ludicrous comparison, and that stigma, that negativity, that borderline criminality (which used to be out and out criminality) is something the gay community have had to deal with for a long time. It is a terrible comparison to make and, except for both terms having connotations with regards to sex, is completely unrelated. Homosexuality is not in any way illegal or criminal, pedophilia is. Homosexuality has no relation to non consensual, exploitative, emotionally scarring experiences, pedophilia does. An objection to homosexuality has zero moral basis, religious practice is no excuse for out and out bigotry. Like many things in all religions people are very selective about what they do and don’t condone. Picking on choosing based on one’s own bigotry is flat out wrong and should never be celebrated. Hiding behind the banner of free speech does not wash.
@pegleg - free speech is not free of consequence, certain actions and publicly stated opinions will have consequences and, in a world that is becoming far more tolerant and accepting, homophobic stances will not be free from this. Do people have the right, the freedom, to have and vocalize such opinions? Yes. But then they should also understand that such publicly stated stances are not free from criticism and/ or repercussion. These effects apply to us all - If I was to publicly state a racist or homophobic opinion I would not expect to keep my job, for example. You cannot have your cake and eat it, if you exercise your freedom of speech expect others to exercise theirs as well, even if that comes in the form of condemnation of your own.
09 May 2022 05:15:09
But have we ED? Is there a game we’ve come away with 3 points instead of a point from because of a key decision? I can’t think of one but I may have forgotten. I know we have also had some strange decisions go our way but they’ve never been result defining like the ones City enjoyed.
{Ed0666's Note - mate we weren’t robbed we were naive. We let brentford score in the last minute and we’re we’re 2 up against Brighton and drew so had we won those the VAR decisions going against us wouldn’t have mattered. What about Naby stamping on someone the other day and not getting sent off that incident that went in our favor?
09 May 2022 03:22:29
It’s true Ed066, but City have been gifted sone hugely controversial decisions, in key games, that have swung those games in their favor. With competent officials they’d be what? 8 points worse off? Bitter pill to swallow.
{Ed0666's Note - we’ve had some favors from VAR also mate. I don’t feel aggrieved by City’s impending premiership victory. We should have won it this year but we’re not so fair play to city. We’ll just have to do with the cup treble.
09 May 2022 03:18:51
Pep talks nonsense. He has the most expensively assembled squad, the best squad depth, the ability to rotate more or less any position (except goalkeeper lol), and will have a ton of funds to make yet more signings in the summer. Oh and he’s frequently had a 100mil player to call from off the bench. You would expect City to win the league because their squad depth is so strong, in fact you’d expect them to win more or less everything. He’s bitter because he messed up the CL again, that’s it.
And let’s not mention the numerous, dodgy sponsorship deals City have created for themselves to give them such spending power. I mean essentially having shell companies sponsor you so you can pump up your FFP numbers is just out and out cheating but the Premier League continues to do nothing. When the truth about their financial manipulation comes out all of their “achievements” will be cheapened, and rightly so.
02 May 2022 13:45:20
On the bright side Harry you can go back to supporting your real team if that happens and proclaim then to be the best ever again.
