General Football and Sport / Re: LIVERPOOL TRANSFER THREAD - 2023 (FSG posts = get muted) - No Mbappé

Would love Nkunku, massive fan of his for years. Aren’t Chelsea more pressed to sell homegrown players though in how profit is is viewed within FFP?

Makes Colwill more interesting to us for sure. Maatsen too.

I think we need a new left back, though admittedly it’s further down list than a CB, new CM and forward(s).

That's right, who was Salah before "they" made him?

Sorry for going off the superfan line giving FSG the green light for another fire sale in the upcoming window, which undoubtedly will happen. Salah deserves also respect.

Salah has been a better player and more loyal than fan favourites like Henderson, Alonso, Torres.

As for the Chelshit "reject" comments, he is in the same list as De Bruyne, Havertz, Pulisic and so many others who did alright after the left the london shit.

Klopp is a great Manager and very loyal.

There is no guarantee that he would have succeeded elsewhere. Some of our players that got "big" moves flopped miserably e.g Coutinho, Mane, Wijanldum, etc.

He joins another club or manager and he's unlikely to be where he is today so he could show more respect because respect is a two-way street. We've had so many legends that have won a lot more than him and they've come and gone.

Him being a legend doesn't mean he should react like that when rightly dropped. This is Liverpool FC not Mo Salah FC and some need to understand that.

Think it was this thread (jumping about a lot) that spoke of Ferguson, Wenger and Klopp and the power they wielded by the end of their time at their respective clubs. But they didn’t start off with that much control. That came about by the success they gave and gradually took on more and more responsibility. When Ferguson and Wenger left (different circumstances as Wenger had already dropped off a bit) you could tell it would be difficult to replace such strong personalities and a drop off felt inevitable.

From the outside, people will be expecting ring the same thing with us once Klopp leaves. As said above, I think changing the structure does probably take some pressure of Slot, while also making him more replaceable if things don’t go well.

If everything goes as well as Edwards and co hope then we have an impressive young coach, a decent squad with room for improvement and can probably hold our own on the mind of level we’re at now. Obviously there’s potential for things to drop off a level too. Everything is a bit uncertain.

The only club who are geared to chopping and changing manager/head coach and not having a drop off have been Chelsea. Although their last few years have been fairly barren. But they could previously change a coach and not seemingly have a proof of rebuilding. For the clubs who have had an all powerful manager it’s not been that easy. It’s a double edged sword. When they’re that successful, why wouldn’t you give them more control. But that just seems to make the drop when they leave more daunting.

That’s a lot of waffle really to say, let’s see what happens. I think I’m generally quite pragmatic. While I always hope for the best I think it’s fair to say Klopp had us over achieving and a failure to keep doing so shouldn’t really pinned on any new manager unless he’s a twat like Hodgson. But at the same time a new man, new ideas, hopefully backed with some new signings, that all feels potentially exciting too.

Salah is obviously a club legend. He was disrespectful to Klopp yesterday but I can get that emotions are high when our season is capitulating so I can forgive that. However, if you are thinking with your head and not your heart, it's time to move Salah on this summer, get some money while we still can and build for the future with Slot.

He’s kicked Klopp in his big teeth when he knows he’s leaving and can’t do anything about it. Makes me wonder now about his rows with Mane. When he came back into the team our performance dropped and it could be he’s taking confidence away from our younger strikers acting the big man behind the scenes. The Egyptians turned on him after Afcon so he probably wasn’t in a great mood coming back, maybe he wanted to stay and play for Egypt. We won’t know but we’ve all seen a different side to him which makes you wonder.

General Football and Sport / Re: Arsenal: Top of the divers league

A dad of my kids’ mates is an Arsenal fan and was pissing himself about Everton beating us the other night and also told me he took the piss out of my son about it. So as a petty person I am fully wanting a Spurs win today so he knows how it feels to lose a local Derby at this time of year.

Oh when the Spurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs…

What a gobshite

After Taylor basically killing us off with that outright piece of cheating, I'm doubling down on my wish to see the cheats win this now. to be honest, I despise this Arsenal anyway due to the diving cheating handballing head injury faking fuckers that play for them and the Mysteron who manages them, so its not like I'd want them to win anyway.

If it was Wengers prime Arsenal, it'd be tougher to want them to lose out.

The question is do you think Taylor cheated?

He certainly broke the rules. And then he tried to cover his error by persuading the goalie that he was injured. This was pointed out on the BBC. Shearer couldn't believe it.

What will happen now is that PGMOL will refuse to release the audio and Taylor will go unpunished. They have a consistent record of closing ranks and protecting referees when they make mistakes.

The incident was similar in some respects to the Arsenal v Bayern match where Gabriel picked up the ball when it was 'live' in the box. It ought to have been a penalty, but the ref bent the rules and allowed Arsenal to take the goal kick again. Yesterday the West Ham goalie was hoping to waste time. He also made a stupid mistake. The ref bailed him out too. Same thing. Both incidents are unusual (but will surely become more common as time-wasting becomes more and more sophisticated). But it's not the referees job to react to bizarre mistakes by erasing them.

This is a horrible window into the next few years isn’t it? …. If we don’t win the lot they’ll be endless press briefings about who signed who, who wanted who etc etc etc

The only way for it to be avoided is that Hughes MUST be a public figure whose accountable for recruitment decisions
If that’s what it says on the job spec then Slot can’t be the one in the firing line for it

Most interesting thing about Mo from the west ham game is that cover attack when he showed he's still got his blistering pace. Shame the pass to Nunez wasn't right, but I actually think that could have also been largely down to Nunez' position and line he was running.

Anyway, was good to see him running with the ball like that.
