Liverpool FC Forum / Re: LFC's next manager - chat and informed speculation

« Last post by rossipersempre on Today at 01:05:13 pm »

This thread is a fucking sewer.

Even Rossi, someone who normally posts sense, has lost his fucking mind.

Rossi, how on earth was Amorim 'the media-briefed preferred candidate' when every single media source said he wasn't necessarily the preferred candidate verbatim?

Honestly, the way the season's ending is shit, and it sounds like most of you want to pack it in whoever the new manager is.

Not lost my mind JP, just my enthusiasm and the be honest, stomach for it all given what has transpired, and how. Think the club handled Jurgen's responsibilities badly, then they sat on their hands with an obvious uniting successor like Xabi around Christmas time once they knew in November, all because they dragged their feet for almost a year to sort out a replacement for Ward (not to mention Mike Gordon doing his best "Homer Simpson into the hedge" impression) claiming everything had to be done in a timely stepwise data-driven process. All of which revolved around begging Laptop Eddie to return in a much bigger role, now the egotistical power-hungry German was wiped out and fucking off.

As for Amorim, check out this thread for the last month after the Alonso statement dropped. Numerous puff pieces, from Joyce to the Athletic, all discussing Amorim in a way that only him being the preferred candidate status would allow for. We even got the briefing that (thankfully) De Zerbi was flushed around the time we beat Brighton, leaving Amorim as odds-on. The clear message was nothing would be confirmed until ours and Sporting's season was done. There was no counter-briefing until a few days ago, when this thread understandably exploded again, with the change to the club's new unconfirmed choice and Slot's comments.

Been reading a few things about him from the Dutch media and they are saying that he's very like Guardiola.

The Boozer / Re: The small things in life that really hannoy

Thanks for the well wishes folks 👍

Ouch. That must have been painful!

when I was a teen, my mate had to have his spleen removed after an attempted overhead kick during a kickabout after school.

Yeah the spleen is always vulnerable to those types of landings.

Bloody hell, sounds painful - little miss Gerrard there.

Hope she makes a full and speedy recovery.

She's tough as old boots Rob.  Did the injury at 15mins into the game and played the full 90 😳

Was only when she'd stopped playing they realised how bad it was.  Her mum's having to dress her again which is not good at 14 😂

She didnt go did she Debs?

Hope she has a speedy recovery 

I've not heard anything yet mate but I'm assuming not.

Guess you are not a native speaker?

That was me describing someone's actions as pathetic, not calling someone pathetic.

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Mohamed Salah - Best in the World *

« Last post by Barryg21 on Today at 01:03:30 pm »

It's a title of the thread, which is about Salah's career as a whole at LFC, not just what he is now. Instead we get posts about him which are disrespectful from people who just cannot cope with the idea of us missing out on a league title.

I think what people are saying, and certainly what I am feeling, isnt that we need to sell Mo as punishment for not winning the league. No one is banishing someone for being a naughty boy......
People are just saying, with one year left on his contract, do you sell him now for decent money and invest in his replacement for the next 5 years+
And before now, you would never say that as the drop off to his replacement was too big
But now, for the first time, you can see that maybe its in everyone's interests. And that done with the greatest respect, and to  cherish his legacy
Vs he stays on next yr, drop off continues which is a sad end for all parties  and he then goes for a free

Lol I tend to agree.

The only major moaning is actually about how Slot opened his gob and started blabbing last night. Defo doesn’t sit well with me,

Not seeing much (if any) moaning about his ability to do the job, tactical fit, or excellent achievements at Feyenoord and AZ. In terms of personality fit, I felt so good up until his public blabbing. This now ties in a bit with how he left AZ acrimoniously. Who knows, maybe having a slightly cunty edge will serve him well in the job. People sometimes dig out Klopp for being too loyal and all that.

He can’t win either way.

If he says no comment then people will criticise him too.

People having a go at Slot for talking too much before the appointment as its disrespectful, whilst having a go at Klopp and Van Dijk for not talking enough about the appointment before it's done? Standard.

Imagine for one moment that Van Dijk came out talking about how great Slot is and how he's looking forward to being coached by him, only for the deal to then fall through.

I don't think either of them should have been obliged to answer the question with it not being official anyway. But people will always take what they want from any comment, its the world we live in now sadly.

The only moaning and whinging gits are those who want to have a go at anyone that says something remontely negative abaout Slot.

People have been called cuntbags, wankers, pathetic, having an agenda, and wanting to start a Klopp religion (that was actually pretty funny to be fair  )

It is not North Korea and as long as people are just having a differing opinion I don't understand why that scares or offends some people.

I've personally mentioned I will back anyone with low expectations that comes in and I also never slag off anyone at games and never will (Hodge included), but until this place wants to become an echo chamber of what people want to hear I don't think it should offend people so much having a different opinion for fucks sake.

Some are worried this is a big gamble and could affect the squad, doesn't mean they won't be backed if they are eventually brought in but surely we can air our worries about it.
