Marcelo Pitaluga is set to return back to Fluminense. His loan spells have not gone to plan and looks like Liverpool are ready to offload him.
1.) 05 Jan 2025 05:05:13
Wishing him luck back home.
2.) 05 Jan 2025 12:33:16
Left also with a 40% sell on clause, courtesy of Fabrizio Romano.
3.) 06 Jan 2025 13:30:15
Very decent of Romano to ensure that a 40% sell on clause was uncluded in the deal.

Confirmed that Matip is leaving the club. Sad to see him leave but it is the right time.
Joel will always be a Liverpool legend, part of the journey where we won every trophy. YNWA Joel.
1.) 17 May 2024 10:27:55
He was a good player for the team, legend is a a bit strong imo.
2.) 17 May 2024 10:41:57
At his very best he was decent. Thank you and goodbye
Up the pool.
3.) 17 May 2024 12:19:34
For his output, he earned way too much money from the club seemed to have the life of Riley and only play if he could be bothered. Decent player when he felt like it.
4.) 17 May 2024 13:12:15
He was a good player on his day but will always be remembered for his injuries. His wages are huge so good to get him off the books I guess.
5.) 17 May 2024 13:29:39
Good player for me, only issues were the injurys! Best of luck Joel.
6.) 17 May 2024 14:50:39
MK mentioned the term "cult hero" on the other page and I agree that it suits Matip better than "legend". A good player on his day and definitely gave his all for us throughout his time here even though it was blighted by injuries. Definitely one of the best free transfers we have ever made, almost up there with Milner.
7.) 17 May 2024 15:08:09
Was a good but not great player. Injured too often unfortunately. A good servant.
8.) 17 May 2024 16:01:07
Cult hero fits better than legend. It's more what I meant. There are only about 5 actual legends for me at Liverpool in the history of the team.
9.) 17 May 2024 16:25:05
For me he was best cb at the club rated him higher than virg . Reminded me of Hansen sometimes the way he would carry the ball out from the back. Also I Think the wheels wouldn’t have fell off if he had not got injured this season. He had an assist in the champions league final and did he also get the equaliser v city in charity shied? He is up there for me and moaning about wages, what’s that about? He earned the lucrative contract winning trophies. Love the guy gave me some great moments, brilliant player for us when he was available good luck Joel lad YNWA.
10.) 17 May 2024 16:47:40
Good when fit but made of glass.
11.) 17 May 2024 17:19:16
Good player, did his bit, pity he was made of crisps. Good free transfer whichever way you put it.
12.) 17 May 2024 18:39:01
Best wishes to him. Wasn't he a regular for our prem win season? ⚽️✌.
13.) 18 May 2024 09:39:35
VVD refers to him as a legend…good enough for me.
14.) 18 May 2024 10:50:18
Matip was superb. When fit he was an outstanding player. People who say things like “when he felt like it” are absolute whoppers.
Genuinely excellent. For large periods of his time he was as good as if not better than the best centre half in the world. You lot need a word with yourselves.
15.) 18 May 2024 12:31:53
His wages were only huge because we got him on a free transfer. Put the whole pacakage together and factor in all his injuries but also all the trophies, it was still a very worthwhile signing.
16.) 19 May 2024 01:30:22
"Better than the best centre half in the world"? That makes no sense lol
I'm only mucking about and I know what you mean. This possession style works better with a mario type in the team that can play out from the back. A bit lacking for pave when defending but mostly a very solid player. Shame he had a permanent twisted sock though!
27 Feb 2024 17:38:49
Rumours going round from De Telegraaf that Ajax are talking to Ljinders over the managerial position for next season.
1.) 27 Feb 2024 18:35:17
Good luck to him.
I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea but he’s been an able right hand man to Klopp and they seem to work together well.
2.) 27 Feb 2024 18:37:42
Good, hope he does well. Obviously a man Jurgen respects.
3.) 27 Feb 2024 21:39:57
Am sure he can do a good job there even seven hag did ok there.
4.) 28 Feb 2024 10:17:50
Good luck to him. I hope he does well and the Dutch league is ready for the inverted full-back!
5.) 28 Feb 2024 18:45:17
Brummyred is absolutely right - we’re too exposed with Trent at right back and Robbo at left back. With the pair of them in team we’ll never win anything, except of course:
- the Premier League
- the Champions League
- the European Super Cup
- the World Club Championship
- the FA Cup
- the Carabao Cup
- the Charity Shield.

Dear Ed001/ Ed002
I read today on the BBC that Rabiot's situation at PSG has deteriorated with PSG refusing to play him unless he signs a new contract. It also says Liverpool have been linked with the player for a summer move.
Two questions-
1. Could you see Liverpool moving for him (if we move on a few midfielders first)
2. Are PSG allowed to not play him as he has not signed a contract?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - 1. If Liverpool want him he will want to be a starter and that would be a problem unless they move Keita on - it does not seem to be a position that needs strengthening righ now. And with PSG having accused two sides (naming Barcelona as one) of tapping him up perhaps Liverpool would want to deal with the matter carefully if they are to look to him - so I am far from convinced. 2. Of course. It happens all of the time.}
1.) 20 Dec 2018 19:00:28
Thanks for the response Ed.
29 Aug 2018 21:52:07
All,
I was looking at the venues to host Champions League finals in the future and I was elated to discover the venue for the 2019/ 2020 final is the Attaturk stadium! Making the final would truly be special!
1.) 29 Aug 2018 23:24:00
Be great to win there as defending champions 😉.
2.) 30 Aug 2018 07:55:29
We will make the final.
3.) 30 Aug 2018 08:37:57
I wonder if they've done something about the transport issues from last time.
4.) 30 Aug 2018 12:37:54
there'll be enough busses back to the City center at half time this season.
5.) 04 Sep 2018 14:42:57
“I wonder if they've done something about the transport issues from last time. â€
😄 I went with the Irish Liverpool Supporters Club and I was paralytic before the plane took off from Dublin. I had no voice left by the time we landed in Turkey and then had “that†bus journey to sober up.
Greatest 48 hours I can (vaguely) remember 😄.

I'm very late on this one but I didn't realise Pako Ayesteran is Villas assistant to Unai Emery. Was great at Liverpool and it felt like we lost a lot under Rafas reign when Pako left.
1.) 26 Jan 2025 21:42:08
To add to barrys post- if memory serves his friendship with jose was the reason he and rafa fell out. We were never the same after.
2.) 26 Jan 2025 22:24:25
He was a flop from memory at Maccabi Tel Aviv.
3.) 26 Jan 2025 22:54:33
OP, yeah I already seen him on Villa's bench since last season.
18 Apr 2025 00:18:40
If we could have the contracts signed earlier and bring certainty to the club, of course you would take it.
I don't suspect anything regarding when it was done because there is no point. That is all heresay with no proof so it is not even worth mentioning.
17 Apr 2025 13:50:43
Glad they have signed but come on, it should not have taken to the point of having 2.5 months left on the contract.
Just glad it is finally done so I'll stop moaning.
14 Apr 2025 12:29:26
He's clearly not happy and its hard to motivate yourself when its ending a bit sourly. For the majority of his time here, he did give it his all and sometimes gave it a bit too much! Seems like he knows there's not much else he can do beyond that so has mentally packed it in a bit.
17 Feb 2025 10:31:06
There's this lad called Connor Bradley who can play right back. I've heard he's good.
28 Jan 2025 18:34:49
Kelleher, Bradley, Endo, Quansah, Tsimi, Morton, Mcconnell, Elliot, Chiesa, Nunez, Gakpo is the lienup perhaps.
03 Apr 2025 15:42:16
Ed0025, by a few years ago we mean about 20 years ago it wasn't a red. The rules for excessive force came in because ultimately you could get away with hurting someone so long as you won the ball.
If it leads to less injuries, I'm all for it. But do agree there should be more physicality that is allowed in general and anyone who goes rolling and screaming after being sneezed at should be booked to show the players that this play diving act is not on too.
{Ed025's Note - its all gone a bit girly goo for me Taurus, dont get me wrong im not asking for thuggery mate but a bit more physicality would not go amiss imo..
12 Mar 2025 11:06:12
Nunez started brightly when first on. It felt like we had more urgency but that was gone in Extra Time.
Jota played utterly awful. Every ball just bounced off him. So many misplaced passes or ultimately whenever he received the ball, the attack would die. I am surprised he made it to 70 mins in all honesty.
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.
14 Feb 2025 14:44:28
Firstly a refereeing body which isn't governed by your mate would be a good start. It needs to be independent.
Better selection of refereeing for matches too. I know it'll be hard to cover all bases but come on a ref from Manchester who supposedly supports Oldham should not be reffing the teams from Manchesters rivals. Does not make sense to me.
Seperation of VAR officials and refs too would be helpful. Train VAR officials to be experts in utilising the technology and if they are truly unsure, then the ref can go see the on field screen and decide.
Besides this I guess all you can do is improve training for referees.
Mistakes are always going to happen unfortunately. The games played at a very fast speed and things happen. If VAR is used correctly it can take that pressure of refs, as all the pressure does is make them mess up more.
06 Feb 2025 09:39:59
Just waiting for the club to announce a new contract for someone who isn't the 3 with 4 months left.
