@sarhsheg They always have a choice. Most Irish players aren't brave enough to go further abroad than England, they are happy enough to sit on the bench and take a handy wage. Going further afield, getting different experiences and playing regularly is better than being a bench warmer.

@SmileySmithers I’m always curious with these opinions, who would you have playing over those lads? Quite a few of them would have very little control over where they ply their trade.

English

Kieran Smithers@SmileySmithers·9h

Harsh reality is we didn't deserve to win that game, a very poor 2nd half cost us. Some players need to look at themselves and the decisions they make with their careers, we cannot afford to pick players that aren't playing regularly and aren't fully fit. #COYBIG

@NotSlotaClue Yeah but we cannot allow this man to see his family until he's solved everything wrong with Liverpool in the next 4 days...... God forbid he gets some support from his family or merely clears his head and is refreshed to tackle the issues we face 😮‍💨

@SmileySmithers @HendrickD82 @JM1720_ At this point, I don't know why people are even arsed. He will be back by Wednesday.

Joel@JM1720_·5d

He'll be going to Amsterdam, to his family, don't really see any issue with it

@HendrickD82 @JM1720_ His family might not want to take kids out of school, might not want to leave the Netherlands etc, there's a million different reasons, heaven and earth doesn't move because he became the Liverpool manager.

@SamuelAdams89 @SmileySmithers @JM1720_ Exactly this. If he was, his family would be in Liverpool and he'd be at the Academy seven days a week trying to figure shit out.

@HendrickD82 @JM1720_ He's taking a few days, probably less than a week, with his family. Spend a few days with his family, clear his head, come back motivated and refreshed! The analysts are still working, it's not like everything grinds to a halt when he leaves.

@SmileySmithers @JM1720_ There's loads of work to do. We have plenty of players who haven't been called up. He's got a team of analysts. He should be planning for the remainder of the season, reviewing tape to pinpoint the issues and working on solutions.

@HendrickD82 @JM1720_ That's ridiculously cold. He has young children that he doesn't get to see often and he's getting a few days with them. Not like there's much to work with at Kirkby anyway, anyone not called up for a national team is probably rehabbing.

@TaintlessRed I think they'll look at different markets, they seemed primarily focused on UEFA based teams to circumvent the effects of Brexit, but it's right not to buy until UEFA provide clarity on ownership regs. Might see them invest in the MLS or South America instead.

English

Red@TaintlessRed·6d

Edwards said buying a 2nd club was one of his main reasons for coming back. Edwards hired a number of additional staff to pursue this so number of those need to be re-assigned or leave the club as they're on big salaries.

James Pearce@JamesPearceLFC

Exclusive: Liverpool owner Fenway Sports Group has shelved plans to buy a second football club. Around 25 clubs analysed in depth over past two years with strong focus on Spain, Portugal and France. But multi-club project now regarded as “dormant”. nytimes.com/athletic/71317…

@CouchNish I think as soon as UEFA provides some clarity on the multi-club ownership model, FSG will be looking at it again. Right now it's hard to justify spending £100m+ on a club and not have the control over it if you have to place it in a blind trust.

Couch Nish 🛋️@CouchNish·6d

Wasn’t this the whole pull factor that brought Michael Edwards back to the club… the fact we would have a multi-club project and he would be leading that?

@HendrickD82 @danlfcynwa_ Arne to Ajax, Spurs to the Championship (they'll probably try for Robbie Keane at that point). Chelsea will let Rosenior run for a year before appointing someone like Southgate etc.

@danlfcynwa_ Hoeness to us. Kompany to City. Alonso to Bayern. Maresca to United. Slot to Spurs. And Chelsea do something silly.

Daniel🇱🇧@danlfcynwa_·18 Mar

Getting Hoeness and not getting Alonso would mainly disappoint me from the POV where I really want Alonso, and seeing him potentially go to a rival after all these months would suck a bit. But Hoeness individually I'd be very happy with. #LFC

@HendrickD82 The Gordon opportunity did highlight that we were looking at wingers though and the fact that we've not gotten a proper winger is another issue. Hughes will have a lot of work to do this summer with us needing LW, RW, DM, CB, RB & a LB.

English

Minnesota Sports Fan@HendrickD82·17 Mar

@SmileySmithers I don't believe Gordon was ever a target. Just an opportunity that was presented by Newcastle. Thankfully it fell through. Not getting a Zubimendi alternative was a big mistake.

@HendrickD82 The inability to adapt to a back 4 at Madrid does in a way highlight his limits as a coach. He had plenty of quality to work with at Madrid and couldn't manage it. I don't think Liverpool will go for him to be honest.

English

Minnesota Sports Fan@HendrickD82·16 Mar

@FTorreselnino9 @AnfieldEdition @AdamCrafton_ Well that wasn't his decision and ultimately was part of his downfall. He should play a back 3 with us no matter what.

🥇| @AdamCrafton_ on Xabi Alonso: "I'm not sure it's as an obvious fit as people might think. "It feels weird to me to imagine Liverpool with a three man defence. It's just not something we are used to seeing and there's not too many teams that have had huge success in the Premier League with a three at the back."

@LFCvain @HendrickD82 Tbh we're in a situation where we need both Anderson and Wharton. That's why I'd look at cheaper options elsewhere.

English

Vain🐦‍🔥@LFCvain·12 Mar

@SmileySmithers @HendrickD82 Then Anderson for Wharton But personally think he is city bound

English

Vain🐦‍🔥@LFCvain·11 Mar

Let this be man

Vain🐦‍🔥@LFCvain

Summer 2026 Salah - Akliouche Gakpo - Diomande Chiesa - Mane Macca - Wharton Curtis Jones - Hackney Bajcetic - Bouaddi Konate - Vuskovic/Schlotterbeck Solves many issues except maybe fullbacks and CB depth Yirenkyi would be my ideal pick Geertruida for Gomez could work too imo

@LFCvain @HendrickD82 Adeyemi is going to cost around £20m. Mane is going to cost over £40m. Gotta decide whether or not you want to have decent depth or have Mane. Anderson might not be City bound, apparently they've changed tact & are pursuing Nmecha from Dortmund as he's cheap,HG & Academy trained

English

Vain🐦‍🔥@LFCvain·11 Mar

@SmileySmithers @HendrickD82 Anderson is city bound No to adeyemi mane is the way due to being HG Mane is versatile too

English

Kieran Smithers@SmileySmithers·11 Mar

@HendrickD82 @LFCvain What would you change? Personally I like the idea of getting Akliouche & Diomande, wouldn't bet against getting someone like Adeyemi as a Chiesa replacement (purely because he's quick, versatile and potentially very cheap) Mane would be expensive. We've got to get Anderson imho.
