  1. Arne Slot | Liverpool manager (Posture and/or Sack Watch)

    I don’t watch enough Liverpool to know how much in-game impact he has had, so fair play if he has. What I do think Slot has done masterfully well is to not upset the applecart and maintain continuity from your most successful manager in decades. Not an easy task - ask Moyes, albeit replacing...

  2. Arne Slot | Liverpool manager (Posture and/or Sack Watch)

    Liverpool supporting mate saying PSG rested 8 players on the weekend. Looking at the team Slot put out against Southampton I’m surprised he didn’t rest a couple more more players (eg. Salah and Gravenberch) for todays game, given their lead in the league and Southampton being as bad as they are...

  3. New Stadium | 100k Stadium to be built

    Yeah I really hope they’ve been a bit more creative than a basic bowl design - not holding out hope though! The way Gary was gushing at the end of the SJR interview gives me hope, but no idea what his taste in football stadia is like.

  4. What would be the Best 3-4-2-1 / 3-4-3 XI in world football today?

    I considered Timber as he’s very similar to Kounde - probably a marginally weaker defender but stronger on the ball. Frustrates me that we missed out on Timber under ETH, he’d be perfect for us right now.. Saka at RM is a shout.

  5. What would be the Best 3-4-2-1 / 3-4-3 XI in world football today?

    Yeah fair enough on Valverde he probably does trump Mac Allister. I’m just a massive fam of Mac Allister, think he’s an incredible player and a bit of an unsung hero for Liverpool this year.

  6. What would be the Best 3-4-2-1 / 3-4-3 XI in world football today?

    As per the thread title, who are the best 11 players that would suit Amorim's 3-4-2-1 / 3-4-3? This is entirely subjective of course but you should take into account 1) Tactical Fit, 2) Technical Ability and 3) Physicality. Below are my picks: GK = Alisson It's between him and Courtois really...

  7. Marcus Rashford | 2024/25 Performances | loan to Villa

    In hindsight, Asencio would have been a great option for us on loan in Jan. Regardless of Amad’s injury he would have provided a goal threat from the AM position, and allowed us to play Amad more at RWB where IMO he excelled more.

  8. Will Bruno achieve legend status at utd?

    Not sure if this has been asked or discussed in this thread already. But if Bruno drags us to an Europa League win this season, would that push him towards legend status for people?

  9. What do we still need? Aka The never ending story

    Still baffles me that people are continuing to direct blame solely at the manager. The squad is crap and been destroyed by injuries yet again. We’re still giving minutes to Lindelof, playing Dalot at LWB, and only have Hojlund as a no.9 for gods sake. Hes not blameless, but let’s not forget how...

  10. Matthijs de Ligt | 2024/25 Performances

    Same, I was disappointed he wasn’t even given a mention by Shearer when he chose Bruno. Bruno certainly changed the game for us but De Ligt was flawless barring a couple of passes. His switches of play and following his man into midfield was great to see too. It gives me confidence that the...

  11. Ayden Heaven | 2024/25 Performances

    Potentially very good business from the club. Give him a good amount of minutes in the league and we could save ourselves needing a Martinez back-up come the summer.

  12. Chido Obi | 2024/25 Performances

    I was worried for his first 10-15 mins where he basically didn’t touch the ball, but he really grew into the game. At a minimum he has the natural instincts of a no.9 unlike Hojlund and Zirkzee. I don’t think starting him is the answer, but he should certainly be getting 10-20 minutes regularly...

  13. What do we still need? Aka The never ending story

    Hojlund’s running out of games to prove himself and despite Zirkzee’s slight improvement, he’s simply lacks the required pace and intensity to be a top AM or ST in the prem. We should cut our losses with Hojlund and get as much of money back on Zirkzee as we can. If there’s any sniff of...

  14. Your Hidden Gems or under the radar - Wanted Signings

    Anyone watch much Ligue 1 and can share any insight about Lamine Camara and Amadou Kone (or any other promising CM/DMs)?

  15. What do we still need? Aka The never ending story

    Just signed a fairly lengthy contract extension sadly. Means he absolute won’t be cheap anymore. Shame as I thought he could be an interesting option too until I learned that.
