Hi Ed002, is Firmino also leaving Liverpool?

stg

{Ed002's Note - Robert Firmino (F) Could make way but I doubt any decision has been made.}


1.) 04 Jul 2022 20:50:46
If he did go he would have to be replaced and anybody coming in would have to be up for the challenge of a serious fight for minutes. That Salah, Nunez, Diaz looks strong candidate for front three with Jota too.

Would someone of gakpo quality take the risk. I doubt it personally.

Think so many forwards have left, think we LL be best served to keep Firmino this year.


2.) 05 Jul 2022 00:32:15
Can't see Bobby leaving. Though if a big club comes in for him, he's clearly dropping down the pecking order here. Could see klopp using him behind jota or Nunez more this season. He has the awareness, quality and is better at defending than many midfielders so don't see why he couldn't play that attacking mid role with 2 of Thiago fab or hendo in cm.


3.) 05 Jul 2022 03:22:11
I’d hang with n until we’ve played a few games next season before we decide what the pecking order is.


4.) 05 Jul 2022 07:02:47
Thanks Ed002.


5.) 05 Jul 2022 08:25:27
He is the one who's suffered the most from heavy metal football (imo), and whilst his career path may be best suited to a slower league, he will continue to have something to offer us and is still world class at times. Get him a new contract asap.
I'd sooner loose Jota than Bobby.


6.) 05 Jul 2022 08:52:06
hi spaceman, first time ever don't agree with one of your posts. At this present time i would rather lose Bobby than Jota, just look at goals scored last year for the two compared to the same games played. Also consider age difference Jota is the future, Bobby was the past.


7.) 05 Jul 2022 12:53:03
Give bobby a new contract my arse. he stays till end of this season and that's it. Who would want him now? And if a decent offer came in he'd be gone for me. Great player great person but his time is here 2 years overdue. A centre forward that doesn't score anymore. no thanks.


8.) 05 Jul 2022 16:27:36
He’s one of my favourite ever players but i’d get rid now for something rather than 12 months for nothing only if it meant Gnabry could come in now. Diaz Nunez Salah front 3 Carvalho Jota Gnabry as cover all 3 quite versatile. Selling just to get something but still waiting 12 months to bring someone in not a chance.


9.) 06 Jul 2022 08:40:09
Who would want Firmino now?
Plenty of clubs is the answer to that. Just because fans have transfer fever and are desperate for transfer activity doesn't mean that players like Bobby are ready for the scrapheap.
He's obviously got limited time left here, but nobody else would want him?
There are some deluded people on here.


10.) 06 Jul 2022 10:20:08
I like Bobby for what he has done as much as most on here and in fairness to him his goals to mins ratio last year wasn’t bad. Considering he doesn’t press or link the play even half as well as he used to though he role would have to be as cover only until we replace him next year with someone more versatile. I get that people defend him etc but we were all laughing our asses of the other day when Ed001 made the joke about Arsenal replacing one froward who doesn’t score with another (Lacazette - Jesus) . So yeah, maybe some internal self reflection is needed.

Ed002, did you came across recent article of Maddock? . FSG is in talks with Billy to buy the club. Billy beane wants to buy group of clubs similar to Redbull in Europe. Do you got any news on it? If so, can you explain us and also all its pros and cons of such deal.

stg

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you are referring to. I think you have perhaps misunderstood what yopu have read. Billy Beane is a self-confessed Liverpool supporter and owns much of the Oakland As and is the "moneyball" guru. But whilst FSG would like an investor to sell part of Liverpool to (particularly given their major financial issues at the moment), it is questionable where any of the high-profile expensive EPL sides has the growth potential of other sides across Europe. Clubs like Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea will see growth potential flatten out whilst the chance of growth remains elsewhere - and remember these folks are investing other people's money - not their own. As such they have a plan to merge with FSG rather than invest in it. Noteworthy is that the former Premier League chair Richard Scudamore has joined the board of Billy Beane’s RedBall Acquisition Corporation who have guarantees from investors circa $500M. That mean they have the investment funds to beyond a merger and look to buy a decent club in mainland Europe or the lower end of the Premier League as well.

Obviously clutching at straws to make the club get a boost in terms of financial growth before potentially selling out id Project Bigfoot (or whatever it is called).}


1.) 14 Oct 2020 08:08:36
Lower end PL club? Perhaps we could buy Man U as a feeder team.


2.) 14 Oct 2020 15:11:01
Thanks for correcting me. Merger should be the word I should have used.
Thanks for the info.


3.) 14 Oct 2020 18:01:07
Ed002, I thought "the growth potential flattening out" would be due to the c. v. environment prevalent everywhere now. But since you say growth prospects elsewhere in Europe are better, despite the c. v., it means that growth potential of the EPL is actually flattening out. Have I read it correctly?

{Ed002's Note - No, it is due the the sucfcess the club has had and the significant increased gross that has already happened. So the value of the club has largely peaked and will grow slowly. For investors that might well be the time to get out and invest where there is more growth potential so there is a better return on your investment. It is not the EPL, it is Liverpool. There is growth potential in the likes of Newcastle who would cost less than 20% of Liverpool, for example.}


4.) 14 Oct 2020 20:57:36
Ah, I get it, Ed002. The rate of growth is lowering. The S curves in all businesses and cycles. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - So you look for better returns. If you have £100 in the bank earning 1% interest and someone else is offering 5%, what do you do? The 5% growth has slowed to 1% but there is a new opportunity that if managed well might give 5% back.}


5.) 14 Oct 2020 22:42:54
Ed02, I know this is a near impossible question to ans, but is there many out there now with the capital to buy a club like Liverpool. The club currently valued at around £1.7bn pounds. And as you say the growth potential is flattening out, it doesn't seem like the wisest investment when you can buy other clubs at 20% of the cost.

{Ed002's Note - Institutionally, yes. Individually there are folks who could afford to buy but the attraction of the investment is not great - as FSG has already had the big time changes. The option would be a flotation, perhaps in New York. But you are right, the growth potential of the likes of Newcastle is clearly as an investment better than the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea etc..}

Cheers ed👍.

We have signed Joe Hardy from Brentford. He is number 9 and 21 yr old. Ed001, do you know about him?

stg

{Ed001's Note - not a lot mate sorry.}


1.) 06 Jan 2020 12:32:56
Ok Ed001. Welcome to the family Hardy.


2.) 06 Jan 2020 12:44:25
Originally on Man City books but did not progress and moved to Brentford. He has done okay at Brentford but needed to move in order to progress (he wasn't making their first team) .
It is thought that with Brewster going out on loan, Critchley's Under 23s needed someone to come in and develop. Hardy is thought to be that person.

{Ed025's Note - i heard laurel is on his way too mate.. :)


3.) 06 Jan 2020 13:04:04
Scored 40 goals in 80 appearances for Brentford B.


4.) 06 Jan 2020 13:28:38
Think we have signed him for when we next play Everton, would make sense. young, inexperienced.

{Ed025's Note - thanks for that SR its just what i need.. :)


5.) 06 Jan 2020 13:48:33
We probably had his file after the hack.


6.) 06 Jan 2020 13:59:28
Apparently laurel turned down a move to the toffees, didn't want to wslk into amother fine mess.

{Ed025's Note - good stuff wiltshire..


7.) 06 Jan 2020 14:01:14
Isn’t Laurel currently playing in midfield for Everton?

{Ed025's Note - if he was he would be our star man thunderbird..


8.) 06 Jan 2020 14:02:40
Will the purchase of Hardy prevent Liverpool from pursuading Mohammed Daramy, or are they not sort of in the same position?


9.) 06 Jan 2020 17:24:02
Great to see you back 025 .

{Ed025's Note - cheers mate..


10.) 06 Jan 2020 19:16:34
He comes from The Wirral, so he can't be bad.


11.) 06 Jan 2020 20:02:11
I heard we have signed him instead of Mbappe.


12.) 06 Jan 2020 20:12:18
Sorry ed can’t help myself. At least you know your floor, can only be up.

{Ed025's Note - the floor is up for us SR, we are in the basement mate..


13.) 07 Jan 2020 04:45:45
Does he have an older brother named Frank?


14.) 07 Jan 2020 06:52:29
Another one to sell to Bournemouth for 20m in 2 years time.


 

 

09 Aug 2018 17:23:46
Hi Ed, does Ings got Southampton move?

stg

{Ed002's Note - On loan.}


1.) 09 Aug 2018 17:53:00
Cheers Ed.


2.) 09 Aug 2018 19:02:44
Is there on option or obligation to buy Ed?

{Ed002's Note - That won't be known before tomorrow or perhaps Monday.}


 

 

09 Jun 2018 19:40:09
Can Ed002 shed some lights on fekir deal? If you felt that it will create hate then we understand it completely.

stg

{Ed002's Note - This is the social media generation we are dealing with. It will get done when it is all concluded. If it is not all concluded it won't get done. I understand that Liverpool fans have constantly trolled the club's social media and that is really unacceptable - and I imagine Fekir's social media accounts will be taking a bashing now as well. My understanding last night was that the financial aspects were not finalised, and I said that lhere - I didn't keep it away from you all - that was how it was. I am not aware that anything has changed. It will continue to be work in progress. If Liverpool remain keen, then there is plenty of time to sort something out. If there is interest from elsewhere that matches the desires of the player and the club, then that is possible with plenty of the summer left. The trouble the Liverpool fans, seemingly uniquely, have is they believe the fat kid from Bolton and they get the Kleenex out and get their rocks off as soon as he says "done deal". The situation is very, very simple and no more or less than has been explained. There are no minute by minute updates to be had, although you can get those on Twitter or whatever.}


1.) 09 Jun 2018 20:16:21
Ed2 was correct once again!


2.) 09 Jun 2018 20:15:26
😂😂😂😂
****ing loved your reply ed002. You are absolutely correct.


3.) 09 Jun 2018 20:19:45
Thanks ed002 for again clarifying the situation. I personally think this is lyon just trying to get more money out of us.
And if we can't get it done we will move on.

{Ed002's Note - Aulas will do the best that he can for Lyon - and frankly there is nothing wrong with that. You can build relationships with him and he will do what he sees as fair. If you are an English side he will want some of those English shillings you have so many of. If you screw him around you get the Gallic shrug - he is in a controlling position, why should he give you the bargain. How would Liverpool react to a £68.6M offer for Salah from Real Madrid - "well he hobbles a bit and he keeps holding his shoulder, and he whimpers like a pre-pubescent schoolgirl a lot, so we need a cheap deal".}


4.) 09 Jun 2018 20:22:31
With you all the way there ed 02 us Liverpool fans get way too invested an carried away with media I swear I don't believe anything til they wearing the jersey.

{Ed002's Note - Jersey? Cow or potato?}


5.) 09 Jun 2018 20:25:57
Thank you Ed002, appreciate the info. We are all very fortunate to have you and the other Eds providing us with such information.


6.) 09 Jun 2018 20:29:55
You’re right Ed. Things will happen if and when they happen.


7.) 09 Jun 2018 20:30:41
There you are folks. Ed002 has given us the info. Forget Twitter, Facebook and Graham Kelly ( who everyone seems to bow down to ) .


8.) 09 Jun 2018 20:31:06
Thanks Ed002 as usual the voice of reason.


9.) 09 Jun 2018 20:32:46
Just out of curiosity ed02, do you not in fact find it strange that Lyon would be so public about this/ their business? Why feel the need to issue a statement? They never announced that they were negotiating with LFC, so is it necessary to communicate this "ending of talks" publicly?
Liverpool haven't said anything, as well they shouldn't.
Kinda weird that by Lyon.

{Ed002's Note - Aulas has always been keen to say things to the press, and pretty much anyone who will listen. Who would have thought that the American President would be using Twitter to blurt out nonsense? I haven't seen him for perhaps three years but I would think he would love Twitter."


10.) 09 Jun 2018 20:40:19
sensible, rational reply ed02. It seems as though both parties are close to an agreement. Why these fans need to go on social media and get abusive over a transfer deal is beyond me. I have never been on twitter, clearly I am missing nothing.
I will just relax with a nice cool beer and see what happens. Hardly a life or death situation.

Thanks for the update ED02.


11.) 09 Jun 2018 21:01:04
Has anything happened since your reply ED?

Kidding 😁.


12.) 09 Jun 2018 20:44:52
I'm with you there Ed. If I was in Aulas position I'd be holding out trying to get the most I could, any businessman would/ should, I'd hope we'd be the same, can't blame the man for that. If we want the player enough we'll pay what they want. If not, we move on and they keep their player, it's as simple as it gets imo.

{Ed002's Note - It woas never going to be easy - and this has always been the case with OL.}


13.) 09 Jun 2018 20:47:05
Hahahaha the Liverpool football top sorry, I more of a Irish potatoe kind of guy an more partial too Devonshire cream.

{Ed002's Note - Do me a favour, Google Dan Quail and potatoe please. There will I am sure be a video.}


14.) 09 Jun 2018 20:50:15
What a legend Ed002 is! I'm just so wowed by your style! Take a bow, boss! We're really lucky to have you tell us as it always is!


15.) 09 Jun 2018 20:51:29
Sorry ed002, didn't mean to word it like i was whinging about it. Any selling club would want the best deal, if we are willing to pay great. If not we move on.


16.) 09 Jun 2018 21:02:37
Thank you very much for all the information you’ve given ed2. Let’s hope it eases the flow of desperate posts you are receiving. Obviously hope it happens. Would be a wonderful time for the club to do the deal right instead of messing around another club.


17.) 09 Jun 2018 21:10:45
So many people on here loosing their minds over a player they have never seen play or even heard of until recently lol.


18.) 09 Jun 2018 20:49:50
Cheers for your thoughts ed. Spot on as usual mate. Makes it sound very open still its just Aulas stating its over sounds quite final to us. Pinch of salt then?


19.) 09 Jun 2018 21:28:53
Mother Fekir, atleast the boxing on to cheer me up! Could see this coming, seemed to taking a long time and kind of strange the noise from their predefined, hopefully we continue to pursue the player and up the offer a bit YNWA.


20.) 09 Jun 2018 22:00:10
Ed, you are sparkys Owner aren't you, he speaks just like you ;)

{Ed002's Note - I taught him English.}


21.) 09 Jun 2018 22:01:29
Sky news just reported that fekir deal is now off.


22.) 09 Jun 2018 22:02:04
Dan Quayle potato, I remember that Ed002. How did he ever make it in politics? How did he ever leave the house unaided?


23.) 09 Jun 2018 23:47:49
Could anyone please clarify who ed02 means when he refers to a fat guy from bolton?
Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - “The Firm” on Twitter who I am repeatedly told by Liverpool fans is the only source who is ever correct. #WonderDogSparky, a little sweetie, has been banned by him for not giving him the personal gratification that many do. Sparky will be recruiting supports for his #The Farm (Fat Kid From Bolton) vs #WonderDogSparky (Artist, Racing Driver, Diplomat, Psychedelic Warlord and Great Lover) campaign.}


24.) 10 Jun 2018 00:13:20
The firm is a joke and always has been. Not looked at it for a while and don't plan on doing so anytime soon. In the Eds I trust.

I kind of don't want to look at #WonderDogSparky anymore though either. The Mrs saw the picture of him sat behind that chair, she didn't care about poor old bugger sparky, she was more bothered about the chair and wants one like that! Please no nice furniture in the future pics sparky, I'll end up bankrupt.


25.) 10 Jun 2018 01:51:37
Ed002 I think Salah should be worth twice the money for holding his shoulder, the wobbling, the dribbling and nutmegs and for scoring 40+ goals. Tell that to RM will you?!?

Thank you for putting the Fekir hysteria to rest. for now.

{Ed002's Note - And the crying must get the sympathy vote as well.}


26.) 09 Jun 2018 22:56:57
Hi Eds! Will Liverpool wait till the world cup ends and keep trying for Fekir, or will they start looking for alternative options? Thanks in advance!


27.) 10 Jun 2018 05:26:35
Hi Eds! From my own opinion, i think Liverpool fans get overhyped of this deal mainly because the way how Fabinho deal works out and the news whereby Fekir has passed his medical. After reading your view on this potential deal, I would like to ask whether undergoing medical before reaching an agreement between the two clubs is a way of how a potential transfer will go through?

{Ed001's Note - every deal is different.}


28.) 10 Jun 2018 08:11:08
Regarding this potential Fekir deal- Fekir passed his medical before agreement was reached and Ed0002 said financial aspects were not finalised. Therefore, I would like to ask Fekir passed his medical beforehand foe the sake of the upcoming World Cup, or it is due to news on the web where he undergo the medical after an agreement in an initial fee, just that Liverpool try to negotiate for a lower fee in the end?

{Ed001's Note - because of the World Cup a lot of stuff was done in advance so that he could just concentrate on playing for his country.}


29.) 10 Jun 2018 08:40:22
If an agreement was reached during the World Cup period, can both the clubs announced the deal? Due to medical was passed and interviews (leaked) was done beforehand.

{Ed001's Note - of course, that was the whole point of getting everything ready. Now he can just leave it all in the hands of his agents. I wouldn't hold my breath though. It could be done in seconds, linger on for months or never happen at all. May as well just relax and forget about it and hope for a pleasant surprise later.}


30.) 10 Jun 2018 09:07:21
Big thanks ED001 for your answer.
This has helps me clear up rumors floating on the web regarding this deal:
1)Fekir failed his medical
2)Initial fee was agreed and Fekir passed his medical, talks broken down as Liverpool try to lower the fee due to past injury concern.


31.) 10 Jun 2018 09:45:27
Eds if the fekir deal can't be concluded who, with your knowledge, would you say we'd try for?

{Ed001's Note - I don't know.}


32.) 10 Jun 2018 10:32:00
Rush to get everything sorted before the WC has backfired.

From a purely business perspective, this is not the way to do 60 million pound deals, anyway. Due diligence are the key words.

If Aulas wants to be difficult, he will be difficult. The player is contracted to Lyon - they hold the cards.

Important now for the club to act professionally. We have had enough problems with previous transfer fiascos (Southampton and Fulham come to mind) .

And let's hope the LFC trolls on twitter don't now go on to discredit the club, the way they have done in the past in their behavior the owner and his wife.


33.) 10 Jun 2018 07:04:19
Ed002 people ask if your Male or female.
I ask are you really a talking labradoodle?


34.) 10 Jun 2018 04:48:06
Thanks Ed002. So all these deals are nonsense. Now I can have good and calm Sunday.


35.) 10 Jun 2018 11:38:19
Only been on twitter once found the darwin awards they are pretty good.


36.) 10 Jun 2018 19:05:05
aussieMARK: WDS is the talking Labradoodle, Ed002 is a gentleman rodeo clown.

Ed 001, Who will be the right one to manage Liverpool. Xabi, Flick or somewhere?

stg

{Ed001's Note - can only be Xabi.}


1.) 26 Jan 2024 11:56:39
Alonso should be the only candidate. Ancelotti would be fine on a two-year deal in my opinion, but he’s just renewed with Real Madrid.
Whatever happens, we need to accept we are losing a truly titanic figure in both the club’s history and the football world as a whole. The worst news we have had as a club in a long, long time.


2.) 26 Jan 2024 11:58:27
Nagelsmann would be an interesting option.


3.) 26 Jan 2024 12:02:22
I might be putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5 here but I strongly suspect that the club has lined up Klopp's replacement already, or at the very least has had positive talks with at least one potential manager.

There was no reason that Klopp had to make this announcement now, it could have waited until closer to the end of the season, especially as a number of support staff are leaving too. I think the only way it makes sense to announce it in January is if the club are pretty confident that they know who the manager is going to be next season already.

Would you agree Ed001?

{Ed001's Note - not really, I don't think him going or announcing it is anything to do with the incoming. I think it is more likely someone had found out.}


4.) 26 Jan 2024 12:07:59
Hi Ed01 - is Xabi a realistic appointment. Will he come?

{Ed001's Note - yes, yes.}


5.) 26 Jan 2024 12:09:02
Absolutely gutted. Do you think Klopp will have the thought of leaving the door open for Alonso ed? Striking while the iron is hot, so to speak. Also, what is with the timing now? A rallying cry for the end of season push, something happening behind the scenes or just no other good time?

{Ed001's Note - I doubt him going has anything to with that.}


6.) 26 Jan 2024 12:11:09
Surely it has to Xabi.


7.) 26 Jan 2024 12:11:39
Ed01 and by some accounts, they are saying that should LFC come knocking for Xabi, Leverkusen may not be able to keep him. Nor will they stand in his way should he push for it.


8.) 26 Jan 2024 12:11:48
Klopp brought not just the fans together but the club as a whole. He deserves everything. Hopefully he wins title again this season. Thanks Klopp you are the normal one but not to us.
P. S. if we win title on last day, it will be mixed emotions for me.


9.) 26 Jan 2024 12:14:34
Xabi 1st choice and De Zerbi2nd choice for me.


10.) 26 Jan 2024 12:34:48
Hard NO on DeZerbi.


11.) 26 Jan 2024 12:46:59
Michel seems worth a look as well.


12.) 26 Jan 2024 14:11:46
Never heard of the guy till this season at Girona.


13.) 26 Jan 2024 12:14:21
EDs, are you aware of any discussions on going about a replacement for Klopp. As the owners knew since November and the announcement today I wondered if there has been any?


14.) 26 Jan 2024 18:12:16
1. Alonso 2. De Zerbi 3. Michel in that order.

{Ed025's Note - De Zerbi would be my 50th choice Tom, i think hes awful and has taken a very good Brighton side backwards mate..


 

 

04 Feb 2023 18:43:20
Hi fellow reds, more than our problems I am more curious on why Pearce was shut down by Klopp in press? . Anyone know the reason?

stg

1.) 04 Feb 2023 18:49:08
Maybe Klopp thought he was talking crap?


2.) 04 Feb 2023 18:52:44
As a reward for putting Pearce in his place I’d give Klopp a new 10 new year contract.

On what had been a thoroughly crap day that was the highlight.


3.) 04 Feb 2023 19:04:10
I love Klopp but I think he’s feeling the pressure. You Only have to look over his pressers or interviews the last few months to see the change in him.

Let’s not forget he’s human as well and I’d imagine the pressure this job brings is an extremely heavy burden to carry.


4.) 04 Feb 2023 19:16:53
If Klopp has taken his eye of the ball and hasn’t been giving the job his full attention it’s his own bloody fault. He needs to grow a pair, dust himself off and prove he is a world class manager. If it means upsetting some players and some coaches or even the owners so be it.


5.) 04 Feb 2023 23:37:21
We happily slam players when they under-perform especially when they’re on big wages. The same applies to Klopp imo. He earns an absolute packet yet seems incapable of influencing the glaring errors that the average fan can see a mile away. His man-management skills are legendary yet we get beaten for motivation and tenacity all season by teams in the relegation zone. I wonder if a lot of the players have been there so long now that his words have very little impact anymore because it’s obvious there’s not much fight in the team (until Milner gets subbed on with 3 minutes left) . Performance drops, confidence issues, schoolboy errors happen in every team but the bare minimum that should be expected is that we fight like hell to get ourselves out of the mire yet game after game we concede to the will of the other team, we’re second to the loose ball, we fold like a soggy tissue when the chips are down. We are not driven and inspired as we once were and I lay the responsibility for that solely at the feet of Klopp. We all love his infectious personality and connection with the fans and he deserves at least until the end of the season to sort this shambles out but right now he is personally overpaid and under-performing and he needs to start showing why he is so highly rated before he starts tainting his legacy. He needs to create a dramatic turnaround before the summer otherwise, in my opinion, it’s time to refresh the management.

Hi Ed001, Pep Ljinders gone from being fan favorite of replacing Klopp to replacing him in summer. He looks like Brendon Rodgers to me who don't adopt and believes whatever he does is best. He won't succeed with Klopp I guess. He need someone who can put him in place every time he acts smart.

stg

{Ed001's Note - the problem Lijnders has is that he wrote a book to cash in on things going well and it has coincided with the form dropping off a cliff. He has taken all the credit for how well it went, pretty much, so what can you expect when things go badly? You have to be big enough to accept the blame too. Klopp is in overall control, so the ultimate blame lies with him for not changing Lijnders or for allowing him too much leeway. However, Klopp is a different animal and shares the credit for success, usually trying to give it all to others. It is never him talking about what he won, it is always 'we' with Klopp. The team is everything to him, and he includes everyone at the club, whether they clean the toilets, make the tea, coach the players or play the matches. For him it is a team game and the team wins and loses together. That is why Klopp deserves our backing to sort this out, even if the fault ultimately is his.

He is not perfect. But he is right for our club. Liverpool has always been about the team. He gets it. He may not win everything every season, but he is the best fit for our club and gives us the best chance to remain Liverpool in spirit as well as name.}

Couldn't agree more Burkey.


2.) 17 Jan 2023 07:26:23
Well said eds1 that is absolutely spot on and has just lifted my spirits. Thank you.

{Ed001's Note - glad to hear it mate.}


3.) 17 Jan 2023 07:26:37
Wow ed01, your insight into the character (Klopp) deepens my love for him. What a man! Most treasured post I have read from you. Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - I love Klopp and seeing his pain right now hurts as much as, if not more, than the actual defeats.}


4.) 17 Jan 2023 07:30:11
Spot on Ed1, we need to back Klopp, he has earned that right and he understands and respects what Liverpool is all about.

Everyone can see that injuries have had a serious impact to us this season and that the midfield does need a rebuild, and on the latter, i would rather wait for the right players than take unnecessary risks and buy right now on someone who is available but who ultimately may not be right! The only other thing that worries me is the potential change in approach/ tactics, which if is the case has clearly not worked. But, i trust Klopp to put that right, particularly when he has the full resources available.

Stay with the team and continue to believe. It will pay dividends.

YNWA.

{Ed001's Note - I know Klopp has always said that the fans should not chant for him, but I agree totally with the calls to sing his name loud and proud throughout the rest of the season to show the fans are behind him.}


5.) 17 Jan 2023 07:31:05
Here's a topic for all to discuss as we see more and more teams being fined by the FA for failing to control thier players when surrounding referees why do t the referees just grow a set and just yellow card the players in question.


6.) 17 Jan 2023 07:28:36
Well said ed1. No doubt klopp the man for us, I really do hope he gets great reception at next home game, he deserves it.
As regards lynders I don't think our bad form is all on him, I think at a big club like liverpool people always try and get a scapegoat when things going wrong, trent 1st, fab next, salah contract, lynders book etc etc. Utd was the same fred 1st, maguire next.
Where lynders has done the harm for himself is the book and with it coininciding our downturn he's took it all on himself. Write the book when he's finished in the club.


7.) 17 Jan 2023 08:14:48
what was evident from the start, nobody believes the team could have done a repeat of last season. everyone is just so burned out. the morale os and was incredibely low. not really an "excuse" but it's just how it is. it will be rebuilt.

people don't like to hear it, but FSG model made sure that if we fall, we can be buikt back up. even though it was not perfect.

it's easy to forget from where we came from.

Arsenal have the vigour and fair play to them. Man Utd is seemingly refreshed yet still making same mistakes. Chelsea is in fortune limbo with no identity.

NOBODY had the continuity like us that was needed to compete with City, and still doesn't.

Times are tough, but there is a lot to build on.


8.) 17 Jan 2023 08:24:12
Hopefully Klopp and the team pull some results because I have no faith in the match day fans sustaining their support for him.


9.) 17 Jan 2023 08:31:30
Lijnders talks way too much, whether it's in a book or in the media. I think he irritates people (he irritates me anyway) . When that happens people will be much quicker to point fingers at you when something goes wrong.


10.) 17 Jan 2023 08:32:27
I didn’t like Lijnders before it was cool to not like him.

It all started with the change made on the right hand side in 20/ 21 that saw our best wide player, Trent, tuck in and the ageing Hendo play further forward. We tried to copy City without buying the personnel to do it and here we are now.

Klopp will and should take the blame of course. He’s in charge and accountable.

{Ed001's Note - I think everyone complained about that chance. No one likes it and it certainly made us less effective imo.}


11.) 17 Jan 2023 08:38:43
I completely agree about Klopp, Ed001. I don't know anything about Lijnders so I can't really comment on him.


12.) 17 Jan 2023 08:41:38
Thanks for this Ed1 ?

I'm sure like me, many of us needed to hear/ read your words regarding Klopp

He is the best thing that has happened to us in over a generation, and we need to remember that

He is the one to lift us out of this current mess!

{Ed001's Note - let's face it, if he wasn't our manager right now and we were looking for one to come in, he would be the one we would all want.}


13.) 17 Jan 2023 09:15:18
Klopp is a generational leader. He's the best and only person for the Liverpool job and we are the best club for him.

He has his flaws, some of which happen to be his strengths too.

Adding some fresh new voices/ talent around him is what he and the club needs right now.


14.) 17 Jan 2023 09:25:57
Great words ed1. Klopp is a huge character and definitely the man for the job. let's hope we get the ownership sorted ASAP and they back klopp. Love klopp. I'm so glad Jurgen is a red! YNWA.


15.) 17 Jan 2023 11:09:01
100% guys. There isn’t a manager I could think who I’d Really want. Good to hear him saying he’s going nowhere??.


16.) 17 Jan 2023 11:21:21
Great words, my dear ED01. I said it once before. Lijnders is taking profiting from and using his position as an assistant to Klopp to enhance his image via the hard earned clout Klopp has earned thru out his career. And you are right too. Klopp never takes all the credit for himself cos he said it himself in his first presser when he was asked about the so called Transfer Committee, "Im not a genius so I need others around me and their input". Same with his Dortmund bros Kravietz and Buvac. He gave them a lot of credit for his successes at BVB cos it's all family with him.

Lijnders seems to love the limelight and talks way too much for an assistant coach. Never heard an assistant coach talk as much or thrive on the media exposure as much as he does BUT it is what it is. He is the direct opposite to Klopp, in a sense. For me, Lijnders can be easily replaced. Klopp can NOT. We need to support him now more than ever before. Regardless of result, we need our Kloppo back.


17.) 17 Jan 2023 12:05:25
The time my dislike Ljinders originated was in the touch line fracas with Lampard, when he was Chelsea manager.

I know tempers were flared, and this can happen during high profile games (Conte and Tuchel) but Ljinders was far too gobby and Klopp had to actively calm him down. Instead of Ljinders just going “yes, boss” and sitting down. Klopp has to remonstrate with him before he stopped.

Not a great example to set to the youngsters on the bench from our assistant coach. Luckily it was during lockdown and there were no fans in attendance.


 

 

02 Jan 2023 11:52:26
Hi Ed001, can you explain us about Ian Frodsham? . Have read about the article on his disease but not much about him. Because of the article found about the awards named after him. Surely that means something.

stg

{Ed001's Note - I don't really know much about him mate. I know he was seen as a quality youngster and died while still a teenager. However that is all I know about him sorry. Probably something I should learn about, thinking about it.}


1.) 02 Jan 2023 19:26:14
Thanks Ed.


2.) 02 Jan 2023 19:27:46
He supposedly was as talented as Gerrard and if he wasn’t struck by the terrible disease, would have been a WC CM.

Seemed like he has ability and character.


3.) 02 Jan 2023 20:44:38
I found a fantastic in-depth article on him 3-4 Google suggestion.

Was everything Gerrard turned out to be at 18/ 19, Heighway rated him alongside God, Owen, Gerrard and Cara in terms of ability, determination and character. He was 5 years older than Gerrard so could’ve formed an unbeatable CM partnership. Could even have got an Evans team over the line in the mid-90s.

But it’s all ifs, buts and maybes.

So, so sad.

On a positive note from yesterday's win, Nunez was great apart from finishing too. He started to link up play better with Salah, his passes getting improved. Soon finishing will improve.

stg

1.) 31 Dec 2022 07:45:51
Among the players in Europe's top 10 leagues with 500 or more minutes played this season, Nunez ranks first for shots per 90 minutes (6.0), but 99th for goals per 90 minutes (0.57).


2.) 31 Dec 2022 08:05:34
one of the most unconvincing and undeserved wins I’ve seen under Klopp’s tenure at Anfield.

A performance that highlighted just how inadequate their midfield options are outside of Fab and Thiago.


3.) 31 Dec 2022 08:10:52
Salah missed a chance far easier than any Nunez had. Not sure we’ve heard anything about that…

Whether Nunez can iron out his shooting woes who knows (I think he will) but I do think his overall play shows that if he can - he will be a force to be reckoned with.


4.) 31 Dec 2022 08:18:41
15 big chances missed this season for Nunez. But the great part of that is even if he only improves his finishing by 50% that’s 7 more goals for him and the club.


5.) 31 Dec 2022 08:23:00
Gary Nev thinks that Nunez will be world class in a couple of years.
I can wait for that whilst Mo and the rest do the scoring.
Gakpo is going to add more chaos up there, defenders won't know what hit them when Diaz and Jota are fit and playing.


6.) 31 Dec 2022 13:09:56
Salah is still stinking the place out Wassa. I have no idea what has happened to him a shadow.


7.) 31 Dec 2022 14:45:44
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville is confident the goals will soon come for Nunez and that within a couple of years he will more than justify the initial £64m Liverpool paid Benfica to secure the Uruguayan last summer.

"He is a handful, " Neville said on Sky Sports. "If he scores the goals he is world class.

"I have a feeling he could be that world-class striker in a year or two.

"I think he will get bigger and stronger in this league the more he plays and I think it will start to happen for him in front of goal. "

Red bird investment is in FSG and not Liverpool I guess. So their investment mean they can spend that amount elsewhere.

Actually I liked Asensio in his early years. But he didn't develop as he was meant to be. He should have left after his big injury 2-4 years back. Can't remember the year. Last season is his best in Real colors I think with respect to G/ A. Will be cheaper and better impact sub. If he signs then we have Bobby, Jota, Nunez, Diaz, Salah and him for front 3. It might block Elliott some game mins. If in AM then Carvalho might get less mins. But its going to be long season. Everyone will get game time IMO.

Klopp brought not just the fans together but the club as a whole. He deserves everything. Hopefully he wins title again this season. Thanks Klopp you are the normal one but not to us.
P. S. if we win title on last day, it will be mixed emotions for me.

Ed001, you forget to mention he assisted that offside goal. No matter at what part of the ground he is in, we can expect him to produce a top class pass to start the attack. That pass to Salah was too good. He is like combination of Gerrard and Hendo IMO.

Do you think Szobo will be there? . In Jude's level?

stg

{Ed001's Note - close, yes. He works hard, has the physical side of the game and the technical, plus vision, he just lacks that final piece. For me it is the driving into the box to score that Szoboszlai lacks. Bellingham has that.}

He is yet to sign dotted lines and our fans are crying. Milner lasted more than Keita. Give this guy a chance. I haven't seen so was most of them here. Let's see how he performs in PL. The way Stuttgart fans react looks like it will work out very well.
