Reckoning

@_trip99 That same board was also remarkably unfair to Slot in selling what little pace they had on the wings and not replacing any of it.

🚨🎙️Roy Keane SLAMS the Liverpool board on recent decision 😳 🗣️“Liverpool’s board are sleepwalking into a disaster. Xabi Alonso is sitting there, a former Liverpool player, one of the brightest managers in Europe, and instead of going all out for him, they’re letting Chelsea hold talks while they cling onto Arne Slot like finishing second or third is some kind of achievement. This is Liverpool Football Club, not a charity project for managers who ‘need more time.’ Slot’s had months to stamp authority on this team and what have we seen? Inconsistency, weak mentality in big moments, and a side that looks miles away from the standards Klopp left behind. If Chelsea end up getting Alonso while Liverpool keep pretending everything’s fine, the board deserve every bit of criticism coming their way. Because years from now fans won’t remember the excuses, they’ll remember that Liverpool had the perfect manager available and were too weak to act.”

@AnfieldEdition @davidlynchlfc @bbcmerseyside Nah they just don’t care or are absurdly stubborn.

🥇| @davidlynchlfc for @bbcmerseyside: “The fact is, if Xabi Alonso was the absolute outstanding candidate as far as they were concerned at the time – he’s available now, and there’s a summer coming up where if you were convinced he was a slam-dunk and would absolutely do a better job than Arne Slot, then the opportunity to appoint him is there and all they’d have to do is pay up the final year of Slot’s contract. “The fact that they’re not doing that, and we get the sense that it’s absolutely not happening, that there’s no pursuit of Alonso ongoing, I think it gives you an indication that they’re not absolutely convinced about him.”

@Corballyred Agreed, but also note you can’t blame Slot for transfer business then.

"Alonso dream job is too manage Liverpool" Appointing Alonso as LFC manager should be a no-brainer for any competent sporting director. It would instantly unite the fanbase. So why stick with Slot??? It makes no sense — unless they want a head coach who won’t demand real managerial control. Remember this when we’re struggling under Slot next season.

@UltraDane Oh come on look who his kids are married to. He was always controlled by these ppl. He never would’ve been allowed on that stage in 2015 if he wasn’t.

Here's what campaigning looked like before América Israel PAC (AIPAC) and Preserve America PAC (Miriam Adelson), Trump ran on "no outside money" to win votes, remember that? A true outsider who refuses lobbyist funds, so no one can influence any of his decisions, both foreign and domestic, remember voting for that? Since the first election where he took about $30 million, the grand Total Estimate for the second election (since 2020): **~ $230 Million+** (mostly independent expenditures & mega donor contributions). Sources: OpenSecrets (direct PACs), Track AIPAC analysis, FEC filings via Politico/Forbes. Note: Legal U.S. citizen & domestic group contributions. Direct foreign gov't money is banned. I'll be honest, it's sickening to me.

@LFCTransferRoom @jfelixdiaz One thing we can be sure of: LFC will hem and haw until other clubs have already acted.

🚨☎️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪 - @jfelixdiaz: Liverpool have reportedly contacted Real Madrid to ask about Xabi Alonso’s work and profile as they assess Arne Slot’s future following a disappointing season. Alonso remains highly admired internally, but the club hierarchy are still weighing up their options and no final decision has been made.

@LFCTransferRoom @David_Ornstein lol one or two what happens when they both get injured

🚨ℹ️ 𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗢 - @David_Ornstein: Liverpool want to strengthen for Arne Slot this summer, particularly in the winger positions. I’d expect one or two to arrive. They believe that will be crucial and only then can Arne Slot perhaps be judged more fairly. Liverpool are expected to do more business in the transfer market.

@NickJFuentes @AutisticClip 10 years of Trump and we don’t even have a wall

Chutzpah:

@mattforney @aidannonx Wow ur ghey

You're an Armenian dual citizen and enlisted in the Armenian military, a potential violation of the Neutrality Act. You have dual loyalty by definition, whereas Randy Fine is 100 percent American. No dual citizens in Congress. Vote Randy Fine.

@LFCTransferRoom He didn’t seem concerned when it involved him putting in effort and not constantly causing distraction and disunity with his public contract-demanding stunts.

🎙️𝗤𝗨𝗢𝗧𝗘 - Mo Salah: "I want that standard in the club, it’s very important for the team to keep winning things, and this is one of the main concerns for me."

@santi_khaa @LFCTransferRoom Exactly right. LFC made his career. Never has a club tailored their tactics more to a player other than a handful like Messi and Ronaldo. And he’s never been anywhere near that level.

@LFCTransferRoom Tell him to get out, when the system favoured him we didn't hear this talks. Tell him to get lost

🎙️😔 𝗤𝗨𝗢𝗧𝗘 - Mohamed Salah: "I think personally I'm not going into details... But now with everything going on in the season without going into details it's like, you know what, it's time to go and of course there's a lot of things behind the the scenes people doesn't know about."

@DiamanntG @LFCTransferRoom Don’t listen to the replies. You’re 100% correct.

@LFCTransferRoom Behind the scenes, things were fine when you were playing well. Of course, when you play poorly, you have to stay on the bench. You tried to blame the coach for your form, but it didn’t go the way you expected. You’re simply selfish.

@LFCTransferRoom More subversive passive aggressive betrayal from this terrible teammate that LFC fans inexplicably still worship.

@LFCTransferRoom Guy who was never a leader and always a poor teammate criticizes leadership and team spirit. The chutzpah of this guy is unbelievable. Should’ve been sold years ago.

This was an assignment demanding a backs-against-the-wall display, to dig in and grow into proceedings. Instead, Slot lamented his players “not picking up the second balls” in those early passages when the chance to set the tone was squandered. It was enough to wonder just what is said in the moments before kick-off and, more importantly, whether anyone is actually listening. Even when they were invited back into the game by United’s mistakes, there was not the conviction from Liverpool that they would then go on and make the most of the momentum that had belatedly been mustered. The lack of options available to Slot clearly played a part but, instead, the tricks and flicks started again — a surefire sign of a team who think they are better than they actually are. “The spirit and character shows when it is a little bit of a challenging time”… but that was Michael Carrick, the United head coach, speaking after a victory that should render his coronation as the next permanent manager a formality given Champions League qualification has been achieved. Seven times in the league (eight overall), Liverpool have fallen behind, restored parity and then lost. That is why their season remains on the brink. As a result, there is enough cause to wonder whether Salah’s comments merely scratched at the surface of the problems facing his soon-to-be former club. When eras end, new leaders must step forward. Notwithstanding those missing, there is also a lack of quality. In defence, in midfield and in attacking areas.

No wonder Mo Salah is worried about an entire culture ebbing away - by @_pauljoyce. Read in full in replies. thetimes.com/sport/football…

@spotgamma Google earnings I thought.

What is going on

@ccmembersonly To run out the clock on white people.

@Corballyred Of course your reasoning is the fpl points and not his pressing. Selling him was fine if they bought new wide players with pace.

Selling Luis Díaz is a sackable offence. Hughes and Edwards should be sacked for that decision alone. 46 goal contributions in 47 games now this season🫢 He’s arguably the most underrated player in Liverpool’s history — an absolute world-class talent👍

@Corballyred My problem with FSG has never been how little they're willing to spend on a player--in fact they usually spend too much. My problem is how few players they're willing to buy at all.

Seriously, it would be utter madness paying £70m for Wharton👍 He lacks pace & struggled yesterday while Matheus Fernandes and João Gomes recently dominated our midfield. Get one or both instead and drop the Wharton nonsense – you'd need a whole new system to fit him in.👍

@Corballyred Virgil’s time has come too though. Not the right captain. The team’s attitude comes from him in my view. Overly confident, complacent, and no grit.

If Alisson is sold, I'll lose my mind. Injuries aside, he's still the best goalkeeper in the Premier League. We look a far worse team without him, & Mamardashvili is a massive drop-off. Whats going on with Edwards & Hughes trying to offload all of Klopp’s key players??? No wonder Van Dijk is reportedly fuming with them👍

@AnfieldEdition That’s ridiculous. Gakpo made one beautiful pass. Salah one tap-in. Both terrible otherwise. Build-up never reaches Wirtz or Isak. Manager makes no changes but has none bc FSG have left him with 11 players.

Florian Wirtz has been utterly appalling so far.
