Just seen Slot talking to Wio Ferd, why on earth would he talk to him (of all people ) about our team n tactics and players . is this part of his job to do these things or is it a personal one that he chose. if it's the latter I don't get it lt all.
1.) 20 Jan 2025 23:47:52
He’ll be have to do it as part of his and the club’s media obligation. He probably enjoyed talking to Rio Ferdinand about as much as Thiago enjoyed tasting those Quorn pies….
2.) 21 Jan 2025 00:18:22
Slots always been very open about these things, besides he gets asked questions and he answers them. You have to play the media game.
3.) 21 Jan 2025 00:22:49
He works in the media?
4.) 21 Jan 2025 03:50:26
My word it was difficult listening to Ferdinand try and do analysis with Slot. If this is the average level of retired pros, no wonder they all get sacked so quickly.
Just ask the questions and let us listen to what Slot has to say, damn it.
5.) 21 Jan 2025 06:15:26
He doesn't work in media but his job requires him to frequently engage with people work in that field. Can't believe this needed to be explained tbh.
6.) 21 Jan 2025 08:05:51
Yes, he works in the media - it's part of the role and a part of the role that Klopp was magnificent at also.
His tactical flexibility and ability to exploit opportunity areas on the fly is such that I have no problem with him telling Wio how we did what we just did.
7.) 21 Jan 2025 09:08:49
Personally I’d rip the mic off and refuse to speak to him.
8.) 21 Jan 2025 10:05:59
Oh you negative beast @Vic.
9.) 21 Jan 2025 11:01:44
I think you can afford to be rude to Rio Ferdinand and it not make any difference. Every time he opens his mouth it’s like an assault on the English language, he sounds like Tim Westwood with a lisp.
10.) 22 Jan 2025 00:32:54
The question was why is Arne Slot talking to Wio Ferd not why wouldn't Vik not talk to Wio Ferd.
31 Aug 2024 13:21:29
I know people have already thanked Ed002 for his knowledge n patience on this site for the transfer news . but I'd just like add my 2pence worth. with all the click bait out there some fans screaming for this signing etc. it's great to come on here n read what Ed002 says so we can just all calm down a bit . he tells were interest is and when there is no interest . I only really listen to him esp over transfers. so again thanks Ed.
{Ed002's Note - Post of the day.}
1.) 31 Aug 2024 13:54:02
Well said. Thanks to all the Ed’s .
2.) 31 Aug 2024 14:37:57
Yes I totally agree with this. I sometimes read and listen to things that give me a chuckle knowing from edd 2 that's it's nonsense.
3.) 31 Aug 2024 22:21:58
You say that Stevie but when my flowers turned up the arrangement was frankly amateurish and my chimney sounds like it’s still got a few jackdaws nesting in it. Can 25 come out of retirement for some cash in hand work?
Honestly I’m not impressed.
Have to say though this is not Ed002’s first ro-deo and it shows. Need to get the florists and sweeps up to speed for January ??.
4.) 31 Aug 2024 23:14:07
Absolutely agree with this. The best thing by miles is that the information is factual - no speculation, no assumptions, just an up to date summary of what’s actually happening or not. For me, from a Liverpool perspective, it’s the only place that is consistently reliable.

I'm hoping for a perfect hat trick tomorrow .
1 Arsenal get beat .2 we win n wrap up the league .3 we send Leicester and there horrible fans back to the abyss of the championship.
1.) 20 Apr 2025 03:00:45
I prefer Arsenal win or draw today, I would love to beat Spurs at home to secure the league and then Chelsea have to give us the guard of honour at the Bridge ?.
2.) 20 Apr 2025 04:50:40
Prefer winning league at anfield in front of home crowd. It would be a moment to savour.
3.) 20 Apr 2025 07:15:59
The earlier the better for me. Would absolutely love it if we could win the league today. But I fear that the players would waltz up today, thinking the league is already won.
4.) 20 Apr 2025 08:42:19
I’m in both camps, get it done asap, party every match left, But, winning it against Spurs at home would be icing on the cake in reality.
5.) 20 Apr 2025 09:00:17
Why are Leicester fans horrible ?♂️.
6.) 20 Apr 2025 09:55:05
Irish Rover. have you not heard the chants they sing towards us over the years .
7.) 20 Apr 2025 11:04:08
@IR, go watch the EFL Cup semi final in 21/ 22 where we came from 3-1 down to beat LC on pens. Or go watch the away game vs LC in the 22/ 23 season where we smoked them 3-0 and listen to the reprehensible chants being song by many in their fan base on both occasions.
8.) 20 Apr 2025 11:09:56
I would rather we win the league today. Think of the reception the players would get at Anfield v Spurs.
9.) 20 Apr 2025 11:21:05
Oli, it was the quarter finals when we beat Leicester and if we wanted every team with horrible fans that sing reprehensible chants relegated, there wouldn't be many teams in the PL. Ourselves included.
Were you at Anfield for the quarter final and at Leicester for the League game to hear the chanting or did you hear about it on SM or on the internet, mate?
The Irish Rover does actually go to games and you don't believe what you read on SM so I'm curious as to where you get your opinions from.
10.) 20 Apr 2025 11:59:46
A few Liverpool fans threw stones at the City bus a few seasons ago.
I guess that means all us Liverpool fans are now tarnished with the same brush.
11.) 20 Apr 2025 17:13:37
Rigsby was you at the game then? . I was n heard them loud n clear . n even heard it on the tv highlights . they're one of the worst teams for chanting shiite about us.
07 Apr 2025 13:13:24
We're top of the league by 11pts but I think we need that margin to win it . we are playing at 50% of what we're playing at the start, not sure we can fix it this season . so get any win we can n bring the 20th title home . as for next season . we could possibly need 3 defenders, 1 midfielder n 3 strikers, that could be some rebuild. but hopefully the club get VVD Salah n Konate signed up to take some. pressure off us . going to be interesting.
1.) 07 Apr 2025 14:34:04
Fulham are a good side and we went into the first half complacent. That result should be the boot up the backside our players needed to focus and finish the job. West Ham at Home, Leicester Away and Spurs at Home are 3 very winnable games and if we win them, the title will most likely be confirmed. A wake up call was needed though.
It is looking like a busy summer. RB, CB, LB, CM, ST, LW and maybe even RW are all looking like positions we could be short in without making signings.
2.) 07 Apr 2025 15:17:12
I don't know if it was simply complacency mk, we started the game pressing high and scoring from winning the ball back in midfield, then when we scored suddenly we turned the dial down all the way and ceded the advantage, against psg too we pressed as hard as I've seen us since klopp for twenty minutes and then relented for some reason, leading to them finding the space to find dembele in behind. Under klopp we were always baying for blood and tried to make momentum count when we were ahead, against slot we can press very aggressively but then we go through spells of being passive or pressing halfway.
Sure the players who made mistakes shouldn't make them in the first place but we don't look like we're in control very much these days when we don't have the ball, the opposition gets through the lines when they want, wins most of the 50 50s in our half and we don't look like we have much of a plan. Berge was made to look like a man mountain yesterday bulldozing over Mac allister because we looked short of bodies everywhere.
3.) 07 Apr 2025 15:22:00
Also Fulham are a decent side but they just crashed out of the fa cup and had to manage the massive disappointment that came from that, their form in the league has also tailed off and they had nothing to play for last night. We really had no excuse, we handed them a win on a plate, slot has to take responsibility for that disaster of a first half imo. I'm one of the least negative posters on here I think but there are some things about our side, about slot's stubbornness and our pressing structure that are rather frustrating to observe, we can only hope that it gets fixed soon and in the future moving forward to next season.
4.) 07 Apr 2025 15:30:35
At tbe moment all we need for the 1st 11 is a LB and a CF and MAYBE a MF on the same level as our current starting options. worrying about anything else is a waste of time at the moment. As it stands we certainly don't need left and right wingers and even if Trent leaves surely it would be a backup to bradley being bought and not a starter.
5.) 07 Apr 2025 15:37:39
We keep talking about a big summer but how many times has that been mooted to end up being a very quiet summer after all?
Although lots of posters on here would move on half the first team players and look for upgrades, I would be very wary of doing so as we have not proven ourselves to be effective at securing deals quickly over the last few years.
Yes there have been a few which have been done early like Mac Alister but by and large we have been guilty of faffing or as the late Ed002 described it ‘flip flopping’.
Im not saying you’re wrong MK that we could do with those new signing, I just feel it’s unlikely we can pull it off based on track record. I would prefer to spread it over a couple of seasons.
Easiest way to do that is tie down VVD and Salah for 2 years (or at the least one of them! ) and then that allows us to focus on other areas this summer.
I just don’t think replacing konate, Diaz, jota, Nunez, Robbo, Quansah, Trent (as well as VVD and Salah) is at all possible.
I know you haven’t suggested we do that personally mate but they’re the names I have seen suggested on here in general.
6.) 07 Apr 2025 15:55:36
I think losing the 50/ 50's and the physical battle is all about attitude though, Patrik. Macca is the smallest and slowest of all our starting midfielders but he was the only one putting his body on the line yesterday. He actually shrugged Berge off just before he scored his screamer.
Losing 50/ 50's is all about desire and intensity for me. I think we need to have some patience with some of our younger players though because Gravenberch and Szoboszlai are still developing as players. It's effectively Gravs first season as a regular in a top 5 league. With Dom he started his career as a winger and is still quite new to midfield at this level. It's very easy to start picking holes in the tactics and players after a few bad games, but the main reason we're all so gutted is because going into yesterday we hadn't lost a league game for half a year. That doesn't sound like a team that's getting bullied in midfield every week to me.
We're in danger of setting the bar way too high for ourselves I think. We had a very bad 45 minutes yesterday but I do genuinely think that's all it is. I would like to have a few more physical players though such as Koopmeiners for example who I wanted last summer for this exact reason. You have to be able to change it on days when you are getting bullied. I'm not sure Slot agrees though and we'll likely go after someone more like Zubimendi (a deep lying playmaker) . In hindsight we really should've sold Tyler Morton last summer when multiple German teams were interested and pushed harder to get the midfielder Slot wanted. On days like yesterday when 2 of your midfielders are having off days, you need players in reserve that you trust so you can change it.
7.) 07 Apr 2025 16:17:55
I do wonder how koopmeiners would have done with us, mk, he has been pretty underwhelming for juve, but then again so has Douglas luiz and basically any player you can name except like. weston mckennie lol. I'm a fan of koopmeiners as well and wanted him to be signed last year.
8.) 07 Apr 2025 17:21:46
The midfield is physically weak . some one said Macallister is the one doing most of the tackles n i agree he is . so if we buy a powerful midfielder we can let the likes of slob n jones do their thing. but we need a presence in the middle . in fact it's crying out for it.
9.) 07 Apr 2025 20:19:09
Stromsgodset, why do we need to win by that margin secifically?
10.) 07 Apr 2025 21:27:56
Oli I meant it by, it's a good job we've got 11pts more than anyone because we're creeping over the line with our performances. think we're going to lose another 1 or 2 games in the run in with they way we're playing.
03 Apr 2025 20:10:35
ED001 If your about . all refs can make mistakes like yday for the attack on Macallister, but then it goes to VAR with all the cameras n angles n they blatantly get it wrong. but how can they. do you think it's either corruption or a ref like Tieney who everyone's knows dislikes us, does it out of spite because that was one of the easiest designs to make.
{Ed001's Note - only he knows whether it is spite, but his bias is clear and has been for years. A Mancunian should not be officiating Liverpool matches anyway. But to be so poor on the big money these guys get (I saw a claim on BeIn Sports that they are on £240k a year!) is unacceptable. The whole of PGMOL needs tearing down and rebuilding, with VAR taken out of their grubby coke stained hands.}
1.) 03 Apr 2025 20:47:35
I’m a Pepsi man myself….
2.) 03 Apr 2025 21:05:33
Is there any other league where football refereeing is as bad as ours? Other sports like rugby are definitely better, even though the game is slower and perhaps slightly easier to referee.
It all points to something bigger unfortunately. The failure to take any accountability and sort the mess out is bad enough and raises doubts about PGMOL, the fact no one is taking PGMOL to task raises other questions as well though. They’re bringing the game into disrepute and no one above the referee body is doing anything.
{Ed025's Note - maybe its because they are only on £240,000 a year JS?.. :)
3.) 03 Apr 2025 21:16:28
I see it as unconscious bias, I'd like to think it isn't corruption but understand why people make that jump.
I can accept mistakes from officials on the pitch but when someone has the benefit of replays, I'm sorry there is no excuse to miss something so blatant. On field is impulsive, but they have time to review the footage so I don't buy the whole 'people make mistakes' narrative.
The sooner it becomes independent and can stop the boys club the better for the game.
4.) 03 Apr 2025 21:37:34
The lack of transparency is what damages the game so much, I can accept incorrect calls if it’s the onfield ref genuinely missing something, the game is so fast and players are always simulating so you can’t even trust your own eyes at times however VAR officials having 3 or 4 minutes, slow motion and multiple camera angles getting decisions like last nights wrong is truely shocking. If Tierney can’t identify a red card from that tackle while watching it on a replay then surely that brings into question his ability to ref a game at normal speed? Don’t get me wrong there are times when VAR makes decisions that I don’t 100% agree with or like because they are subjective in nature and genuinely 50/ 50 decisions but getting textbook decisions wrong when in the VAR hub is incompetence at best and suspicious at worst.
5.) 03 Apr 2025 21:56:29
They always hide behind, we stuck with the infield decision. The time has come for a manger to have two challenges per half, mind you they will probably stick to the infield decision…… there are no consequences for poor officiating imo….
6.) 03 Apr 2025 21:58:13
Ps the only silver lining re JT not getting a red card is he can play against Arsenal at the weekend!
7.) 03 Apr 2025 22:18:13
ED001 definitely agree on the taking the vAR away from the boys club refs, didn't know they were on that much money by the way. who could or should be doing it, any suggestions like ex players or foreign referees.
8.) 04 Apr 2025 00:07:08
*Hops in with my usual diatribe like an irritating broken record* every top european league has been done for corruption apart from the premier league (so far) Maybe they are doing a bang up job keeping it clean? I think WE as fans should rage against the dreadful decisions across the board. Not just be aggrieved when it hurts us. Dare I say, when rival clubs like man utd get obviously screwed over- call shenanigans loudly on forums and such. Yes yes- its always lovely to see them screwed over but for the benefit of the game we should be vocal. Anyone with me? Anyone? Anyone? Maybe its just me. Oh well, whatever. Nevermind. I’ll get back in me hole.
9.) 04 Apr 2025 07:02:17
Aoe you are bang on and it's exactly what needs to happen, the Diaz offside was a perfect example of how fans don't care as long as it isn't against them.
The partisan nature of football is perfect for PGMOL as only a small portion kick up a fuss at the same time before it gets kicked under the rug and we move on.
The only way football changes is if all fans come together but continue being split (much like in politics) and nothing will change. In fact it'll most likely get worse.
10.) 04 Apr 2025 07:28:34
Wyred I’d say clubs as well mate.
Other managers only pipe up if their head or team is on the chopping block.
11.) 04 Apr 2025 09:27:30
Rugby has had video assistance for as long as I can remember and on the most part they get it right and if you’ve ever seen a game, some of them calls are harder to judge than footy decisions. It’s always good how your kept in the loop, can hear the ref and assistants speaking about the decision. You see very little if any violence at all before or after the game. It’s not a comparison of the game we love but there are things in rugby I feel are better than football for sure.
12.) 04 Apr 2025 10:25:17
Easy money, if you can get it, isn't it, Ed? Cos if these refs are on 240k a year then, what is Webb on per year? got to ask that question, as well.
{Ed001's Note - good question that.}
13.) 04 Apr 2025 10:39:33
I hear Paul Tierney got "rewarded" for being crap at VAR with being selected to officiate the Manchester derby.
Totally normal stuff.
14.) 04 Apr 2025 11:44:47
I guess it's just another day that ends in "y" for the PGMOL, isn't it Pelican?
20 Mar 2025 00:12:40
Seen a lot of chat on here about Slot not using the squad enough and I agree. surely Chiesa should have had minutes . he's been on the bench numerous times now, he mightn't be able to play the full 90 but last 15 minutes of the game should be a no brainer he does no where the net is, Endo should play a lot more, hopefully when Slot gets his desired players next year he can rotate a lot more because we look shattered esp midfield.
1.) 20 Mar 2025 03:00:46
Last 9 games will be difficult watch i tell you.
2.) 20 Mar 2025 06:45:26
Football is probably the most opinionated topic in the world so of course Slot (as well as every other manager and player) will face criticism at some point.
And whilst we can all say there's areas for improvement with hindsight he's got far more right than he has wrong and we are currently top of the league and potentially going to win only our 2nd title In 30 odd years.
The only reason we played PSG was because of rotation.
We rotated against PSV and due to them winning they then went about PSG in the league.
Without that result we would have had Benfica or Brest.
3.) 20 Mar 2025 07:20:26
As long as you keep predicting we'll lose before the game we'll coast to the title, lee.
4.) 20 Mar 2025 08:24:21

Maybe for the strange few.

Or in your case not watch us at all Oli.
16 Mar 2025 19:17:37
Question for ED001 if you're about. what is the point of putting one of the smallest men on the biggest man Newcastle had . we seen it a few times bfr he scored that is was no contest. you don't need to be a top coach to see it would never work . baffled by it . hoping you can show me some insight on what they were thinking.
{Ed001's Note - no idea, it was a stupid decision, whoever made it. We had an extra centre-back on the pitch, there should have been a spare one to man mark him.}
1.) 16 Mar 2025 19:46:48
Thought it was more of how we set-up as opposed to putting Macca on Dan Burn. like, I think they targeted macca more and we stuck to our set-up to defend set pieces.
{Ed001's Note - Macca was man marking him mate. He literally had his arms wrapped round him trying to hold him back.}
2.) 16 Mar 2025 19:56:13
God forgot that on my list of crazy decisions Slot made today. There were just too many to count.
International break coming at good time I think.
Everyone needs to some thinking time and time away. Think we regroup after and chase down number 20. We win that bad boy and this is an unbelievable season despite the aetbacks this week.
3.) 16 Mar 2025 20:01:42
Exactly Ed001.when we had a corner VVD was marked by Burn . makes sense doesn't it.
{Ed001's Note - it was very bizarre.}
4.) 16 Mar 2025 20:24:21
According to Slot as he was asked in post match press conference our best 5 headers are in the zones nearest the goal and 3 others man mark the zones furthest away from the goal. But I mean as soon as you see Burn against Macca you change it up surely. Very poor.
{Ed001's Note - exactly, you have to set up to beat the opposition, not just to do what you do every week.}
19 Apr 2025 12:52:14
ED001 I think that's Klopp name for her n all other married men . MONA.
16 Apr 2025 13:12:46
WDW. I'm not bothered that Trent is leaving its the fact he's leaving on a free . this club have supported him since he was 6 . made him what he is but you al think he's doing US a favour, plus he's a Scouser born n bred n knows people feelings about the club more than others . as for the rest of yor comment, even Elon Musk would find that hard to de-cypher.
15 Apr 2025 11:39:53
All these super fans on here wishing Trent well. he's costing us millions in a transfer fee . wait till next year when we haven't got the money to get who we need . you all will be on here moaning, we need a midfielder . a defender . a striker. deluded.
10 Apr 2025 11:07:31
Ron Keague . that an easy one to answer . if he doesn't sign . u sell him. if he digs his heels in, you never ever play him. clubs have got to take control back from these greedy pizz takers.
01 Apr 2025 12:55:14
Nah Ed 25 Doesn't matter . he is a Scouser but the worst type of Scouser in my eyes . just like Macmanaman. doesn't give a toss about the club . if he did he would have signed a short term contract so we got a decent fee . people say he been a great servant
. I look it the other way n say Liverpool was the making of him. who is to say he would have made in anywhere else or been as applauded as much. we overlook all his deficiencies in defense because he can pass a ball, n he from the city. but people esp on here say good luck to him . most. people i know are not saying that.
{Ed025's Note - players dont have the same affiliation with their club as the rest of us Strom, its just a job to most of them mate and like in every profession its about getting to the pinnacle, of course some see it differently but for me he may have stayed a year or two too long and should have moved when you could have received a fee for him, but thats not down to him its down to the powers that be at the club who should have insisted he signed a new contact or be put on the transfer list
20 Apr 2025 20:10:01
Posters still think Trent might stay n treating him like a brother going off to war or something stupid like that. he's gone but for no fee. an absolute disgrace .
20 Apr 2025 17:13:37
Rigsby was you at the game then? . I was n heard them loud n clear . n even heard it on the tv highlights . they're one of the worst teams for chanting shiite about us.

17 Apr 2025 09:36:00
Rome1971.I'm with you. I don't want any English team winning Big ears . I like that we've won it the most n it kills other teams n fans that we've won it 6 times. petty I know. but so what ha.
