It will be interesting to see who leave just as mush as who comes in. That may dictate who we go after.

Possibly leaving my guess would be.

Kellegher
Tmisikas
Salah
Carvalho
Philips
Van De Berg
Williams

Loans

Gordon
Doak
Beck
Clarke
Bajetic
Danns
Koumas
McConnell

Apart from Thiago, Matip and Adrian, who are out of contract in the summer, I think that all the other players will be given the chance to impress our new manager in pre-season. I can see Salah leaving and being replaced by a younger right sided wide forward. Mo has been a great servant, but he is turning 32 in June, and it is time for us to move on. Kelleher will probably want to leave and be a starter somewhere, but we can always replace him with an experienced backup. Phillips and Williams will hopefully get their permanent move (finally).

As for the younger players, like Van den Berg (who is having a great season at Mainz), Carvalho (doing great since his move to Hull), Morton, Beck, Ramsay, Bajcetic, Clark, Gordon, McConnell, Doak, Koumas, Danns and the likes, I expect them to be part of the pre-season squad, and for their future to be resolved later in the summer ...

Is it though? Raya clearly places the ball in a manner to take the goal kick and then does so. The ball is in play from that point on and Raya is in no way indicating that that wasn't a goal kick and he just wanted to give the ball to Gabriel. The latter still picks up the ball with his hand. Whether it's a lapse in concentration or whatever, that's a penalty. The explanation of not giving a penalty for a "kid's mistake" is a joke. It's a CL-quarterfinal, you shouldn't make "kid's mistakes", if you want to win one of the biggest trophies in football there is.

My feeling is that the same thing happened in our game. Taylor wanted to help out a player who had just lost his concentration and made a mistake. You can't do that though, when those mistakes (and especially avoiding them) is part of the game. You'd never hear anyone say the ref should have blown the whistle when Quansah gave the ball away and we conceded a goal as a result of that. Same should be true in an instance where a player thinks he has a freekick, but doesn't. Once Taylor realised what he had done, he was looking for a way out and just called on the physios to have a look at Areola.

I think it is poor decision by the referee but as I said it isn't clearcut unlike the Areola one.

I mean the referee awards a free kick blows his whistle and then a player decides to rotate the ball or move it slightly. Technically you could say that was handball. It would be ridiculous to do so.

I think Al's issue here is Hughes seems to have been appointed by virtue of being Edward's mate from their Portsmouth days. Rightly or wrongly, Edwards has been given almost total autonomy on football matters by FSG and yet there wasn't any hint of a "robust and data-driven process" being applied to recruitment for this particular job. He was all but given the nod the minute Edwards accepted the role of Football CEO, almost as a prerequisite. That doesn't sit well with me.

Edwards has crafted his reputation off his success here at Liverpool. Prior to Rodgers arriving there was a lot of criticism towards Edwards and the transfer committee. I very much doubt he wants to lose his hard won reputation just to give his mate an opportunity if he thinks he isnt good enough.

Getting invested in the next opposition city face.. Chris fucking woods man.... Next its wolves with half a team out.

Come on you Spurs, its football mate, Big Ange is our last chance.

Do you see now what we’ve been saying ? We’ve been near perfect for seasons and missed out by a point 3 times . Nobody cares though as the scousers have been stopped - perfect storm . We’ll no doubt drop off now post Klopp , looks like yous might take our place. Wait till refs are blowing whistles for no reason and goals given offside that are do obvious the actual VAR operator gets involved, then 2 players get sent off . This all happening days after the refs get back from the UAE .

Hopefully Klopp comes out and gets it all off his chest ( prolly served some gagging order though )

I like what I am reading, a more controlled possession game would suit this squad.

Agreed. They have good, cear patterns of play. Looks a bit like City when they had Sane and Sterling.
