If it's true about Alonso and possibly Thiago and Gerrard, then who would be the defensive specialist coach? After our defensive frailties this season, think one is necessary. Would you be interested, Carra?

03 Apr 2026 13:18:35
Where have you heard this, Lancaster?

03 Apr 2026 16:04:40
Hendo or Milly as no2 for me.

03 Apr 2026 20:07:07
Gerrard seems absolutely determined to be involved on an assistant manager/manager level with the club. The recent Sky Stick to the Script program was pretty insightful of that. Of course, we already know this first hand through the various posts from Carra.

03 Apr 2026 11:48:16
Morgan Rogers anyone ? We'd probably end up with Ted Rogers.

03 Apr 2026 16:22:35
No thanks. One paced and not a winger.

03 Apr 2026 23:48:40
Or, worst still, Dusty Bin. ?

Question for anyone who can work out complicated situations

And I will say now it’s only very tenuously Liverpool-related (through us having Isak).

How did Sweden qualify for the World Cup when their campaign was truly awful? If I’m right they only got 2 points.

02 Apr 2026 20:05:13
Nations League route, I believe, does seem strange when they got 2 points from 8 games in the qualifiers.

03 Apr 2026 09:10:09
Maybe they opposed the whole USA taking over Greenland, but Trump pushed some buttons and now they have qualified and have given Trump their blessings for his Greenland takeover....

Jokes aside... could've done with Isak staying home and getting a good pre-season in....

02 Apr 2026 11:29:09
We are apparently pushing hard for Archie Gray plus our plan is to have Olise and Diomande on the wings and if Olise is unavailable then Gordon is our other option….

02 Apr 2026 15:05:13
Jesus, I really hope we do not end up with the headless overrated Gordon at any point. Stick with Rio every day of the week over him.

02 Apr 2026 18:46:40
I think Gordon would be a good signing for us if it was a reasonably sensible fee. Can play in any of front 3 positions, LFC fan by all accounts, and comes back with something to prove having been released as a youngster. A bit of much needed aggression and determination added into squad.

02 Apr 2026 19:06:43
Yeh I like Gordon, for a lot of the same reasons Digger said.

02 Apr 2026 19:37:18
Agree. I'd like Gordon but not if we play the way we do now.
It would stifle him.

02 Apr 2026 19:55:25
Don't forget Gordon played alongside Isak so knows his game. YNWA.

02 Apr 2026 23:41:47
Gordon is shite against low blocks, brainless footballer.

01 Apr 2026 21:49:03
Any hint if truth to our interest in Jueventus R winger Francisco Conceicao? I watch a handful of Serie A and I've always been impressed with him. I know it is Serie A and he might not have the assist and the goal stats. But he's a tidy little player, r, plays on the right, young. It would not cost an arm and a leg.

01 Apr 2026 22:58:07
3 goals and 3 assists in 20 odd games is not impressive. Whenever I’ve seen him, he’s easily bullied off the ball, lightweight, weak and no end product, he’d get battered in the Premier League. Literally bounces off defenders. Would be a piss poor signing.

02 Apr 2026 08:46:07
Don't just take stats at face value. Technically and tactically, as well as work rate, I think Kavicha Kvaratskhelia is one of the best players in the world. He draws centrebacks wide, knows when to go central to receive in space, spots danger as well as Bobby used to for us, and sprints back 70m.



He's scored 4 goals in 22 games and has 3 assists in Ligue 1.

I hate that judging players has become so stats based.

02 Apr 2026 13:00:32
Difference is, Kvaratskhelia can beat a man and is physically very strong. Conceicao doesn't often beat his man, and is very often knocked off the ball by opponents because he's so small and weak.

31 Mar 2026 22:16:56
Frimpong comes off injured after 14 minutes for Netherlands.

Season done.

31 Mar 2026 22:56:12
Beyond a joke at this stage.

01 Apr 2026 18:29:30
Better news. The Netherlands doctor said they took him out as a precaution.

01 Apr 2026 18:54:12
Probably his hamstring again, that's his 5th time to be sidelined this season with a recurring injury. 120 days and counting. Get him fit, flog him off, cut your losses, get in a reliable RB. Get a second while you're at it. I refuse to watch Dom play in defence anymore.

If he has to do the same nonsense again next season, he'll be gone to Madrid next summer. We could have done something about it in January, we refused. If it's not resolved by August, then we're just not taking ourselves seriously anymore, and I won't blame anybody who wants to leave.

01 Apr 2026 22:39:08
Chewy, I would sell him anyway, he ain’t no right back, and he is nowhere near good enough to play right wing. Don’t think he is even good enough to be cover for right wing, would rather sell him and bring Harry Wilson back as cover for the right wing for free.

02 Apr 2026 02:07:06
Grino75, Agreed, have to say I'm pretty annoyed with the whole Frimpong situation. Injuries aside, what was he brought in as? At the time it seemed like he was going to be RB, which would be a reasonable move, but he's played more games at RW. The fact that he's been on the pitch whilst Dom plays RB is completely unacceptable. If he was brought in as a RB, then play him there.

If he was brought in as RW, then I'd be furious, as he's nowhere near good enough to cover Mo. If he was brought in to cover both roles I'd be even more pissed. We're talking about 2 positions that were occupied by 2 of our greatest, most influential players under Klopp, and we're replacing both of them with a £30 million go between?? It's really not on, and not talked about enough.

02 Apr 2026 09:28:39
I'd sell him. Think Hughes was trying to be clever with his signing.

02 Apr 2026 11:36:39
In fairness ye'd a guy at RW that had had the season of his life, won every award and misses a tiny amount of games and a young talented but injury prone RB. Then a guy who'd excelled in Germany, young, full international and a big LFC fan available for £30m. Makes perfect sense to me, would compete with Bradley for RB while covering the few games, usually the early domestic cup rounds at RW.

Also on Frimpong, for all the talk of him been a poor defender, I've yet to see anyone give him a real roasting. Leaves room on that wing for Abe to come through too and we all want academy guys coming through, don't we?

02 Apr 2026 12:22:21
To be fair, Florian, if you take emotions out of it, Bradley is a good back up, but he is not good enough to be first choice.
He does not offer anything like Trent did, attacking wise, and he is not much better defensively, one on one.

So Frimpong, as much as I like him because he comes across as a really nice guy, he is not good enough and between him and Bradley are not good enough. And we seem to be trying to fill square holes with round pegs, ok for the odd game, but not most games.

02 Apr 2026 16:11:03
I agree, Grino. But this time last year most on here were prepared to let Bradley have a go when Trent left, including meself. He's a good player, it's just we're used to 8 years of Trent. Personally I'd be buying a RB this summer, as both our players there can't stay fit.

02 Apr 2026 18:28:50
Worry is, Florian, that if Slot is still here - we will end up with Dumfries.

02 Apr 2026 19:12:07
Oh cos he's Dutch and Dumfries is Dutch. I see what you did there. I don't really mind signing Dutch players. I like the ones we have at the club, although some mightn't be having their best seasons. I also always liked Wignaldum, think he'd walk into our current midfield. Also hope the club follow up their interest in the kid Smit. A baller.

31 Mar 2026 19:33:36
Serious question. Can I ask what people would say to Jarrod Bowen? He's only 29 and is decent in a pretty bad West Ham team. We have Isak and Ekitike and Wirtz so I think Bowen would be a great bit of business. I don't think an out and out replacement is a) required and b) possible.

31 Mar 2026 20:56:19
Love Jarrod Bowen. Just don't see us giving what West Ham would demand for a player of his age.

31 Mar 2026 21:00:08
Only 29? He's not got many miles left on the clock and would come with English tax. Hard pass.

31 Mar 2026 21:23:00
If West Ham go down and he's available on the cheap I'd take him as a squad option to replace somebody like Chiesa. He would be a decent option off the bench and it's obviously a bonus that he is homegrown.

01 Apr 2026 00:41:04
I'm with Vik. He would have been great 5 years ago, but now, at 29, I think we should look for someone who is just entering their peak instead of exiting it.

01 Apr 2026 07:30:27
Would rather have Kulu from Spuds.

01 Apr 2026 16:35:49
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Danny won't let him leave. ?

02 Apr 2026 02:12:14
Good player, too old, not quite good enough for us, certainly not good enough to replace Mo, not to mention he'd be exiled from the Dyer household. He committed to being a lifetime Hammer when he put a ring on that finger.

31 Mar 2026 15:44:55
For those in the Xabi-in camp, do we think a back 3 can succeed in the Prem and if not, does he have the flex to adapt and be successful?

The squad maybe looks better suited to a back 3, along with flicking those without the required dynamism.

31 Mar 2026 16:46:09
I'm sure a 3 can. Not sure the squad looks better suited to it though. We would need as many signings as if we stuck with a four for me. Then there's always the players it doesn't suit, like Rio.

31 Mar 2026 16:49:32
Xabi has played a back 4 plenty of times. He plays the formation that best suits the players that he has available.

31 Mar 2026 22:04:12
I think starting shape is secondary to tempo, pressing, passing rhythm, aggression etc.

So I don't see why it can't work.

01 Apr 2026 10:10:21
It can definitely work but depends how it works.

One man's 3-5-2 can be very, very different from another man's 3-5-2.

We play 4-3-3 now, which was amazing under Klopp and first 6 months of Slot, but it's a very different 4-3-3 today to that time in how it is played.

Formation does matter, but pales in comparison to tactics and principles.

02 Apr 2026 02:22:55
Good point Davey, fully agree, tactics are everything. I'd be very wary of a 3-5-2 with this squad in its current form, it would want to be heavily leaning towards a 5-3-2 to begin with, considering our leaky defence and weak midfield. I also worry about width coming purely from wingbacks, for me, it limits options on the wings in comparison to a 4-3-3.

It could work, if you had the right personnel, which we don't really have right now. The summer will be very telling of what to expect come next season.

03 Apr 2026 07:44:06
It can succeed and has done in the past with Chelsea.
I really like the idea of it and whilst we would need to sign a couple of CB's (we likely do anyway), I really think with our current wide players and abundance of attacking midfielders we would be well set up to play the 3421 XA utilised at Leverkusen.

31 Mar 2026 10:35:10
I am very confident you will not have anything confirmed regarding Slot until the season is finally finished for Liverpool. There will be loads of rumours, some true, some conjecture, some guesswork, but the owners are very careful, and while there may have been informal contact with Alonso etc., owners will not compromise how the club is professionally run in undermining Slot.
