@StevLFC I'd add one more midfielder (Wharton) if Macca were to leave. Agreed on the rest.

@StevLFC Lots of ex pros on record saying in season training isn't that intense. Preseason is where the level is set and ours was disrupted and if you think that list you posted constitutes squad depth you're dreaming.

Florian was the replacement, it’s just his manager decided to try and pigeonhole him into a system that didn’t suit him for the rest of the team Positional wise, the manager would’ve been gifted everything he asked for. This is all on the head coach

Hughes and Edwards should be blamed before they blame Arne Slot . We sold Diaz for a good amount they couldn’t bring in a new winger . We sold all Klopp kids (we left Bradley because Trent left ). They couldn’t bring in a proper Dm . I’m sure it wasn’t slot who got those players it was Hughes and Edwards.

Imagine valuing a £50m player at double and expecting any bites.

🥇| @LukeEdwardsTele: Anthony Gordon could leave Newcastle United if the price is right this summer, with the winger valued at over £100m. The suspicion is that he has had one eye on the exit since a move to Liverpool fell through in 2024.

@Watcher372 Nah. Never playing a player will cause more damage than using sporadically. Some are just pro Slot. Some think not training his players so he dosent have to use fringe players is fine. I look at the table and the performances, plus the absolute lack of playing time for some.

@StevLFC Ramsay isnt good enough. Couldn't get games at much lower level. Harvey made that decision, wanted to push for a wc spot with regular ball. Endo was an emergency under klopp, chiesa has never been fit, Joe is made of glass. As likely to ruin Rio n trey playing em too much

With elite level clubs There’s failure and then there’s abomination The current head coach is the latter
Anfield Edition | æ@AnfieldEdition

John Barnes speaking to @ptgorst: "We won the league with Arne Slot and all of a sudden we want to sack him? "If he then goes and Alonso comes, suppose Alonso fails in his first six months or first year, are we going to say sack him and bring somebody else in? "I always support the managers, whoever they are, because they come to the club because of their success, because they're good managers, and they have to be given time."

@Watcher372 Nah. Doesn’t use his squad. At all. Then moans. And doesn’t train properly. Utterly ridiculous and very disrespectful to the fringe players. Chiesa, Harvey, Endo, Ramsay, Joe, Trey, Rio. A raft of youngsters. Flat refuses to use those tha should be playing.

@StevLFC Not sure about that, I think we had designs on progressing using frimpong, kerkez and our centre mids but it took months for wirtz n kerkez to settle and the rb position is cursed. I think they left slot a little short on personnel tbh

Which actually means. We have to stand by him now as an interim could be nasty. Especially as we have a squad that trains as much as a pub team. We will fuck him off in May.

🥇| @Simon_Hughes__: For the time being, Arne Slot has the backing of both Richards Hughes and Michael Edwards. They think he has been dealt a rough hand for all sorts of reasons, and if he gets through this period, he should, in theory, be better equipped to take Liverpool forward. Whether that stance persists if Liverpool are knocked out of the FA Cup and the Champions League and fall away from the Premier League top five over the next few weeks remains to be seen.

Nah. How opinions can change in a year. Plans shelved on MCM, they will resurface. Getvthe next head coach appointment right and the on file progression will make everyone happy again. He’s been back less than tw seasons an overseen a PL defence. Chill.
Anfield Edition | æ@AnfieldEdition

🥇| @Simon_Hughes__: With FSG having made such a big deal about rehiring Michael Edwards because of unprecedented expansion plans, it seems incredible how clumsily his second tenure has been handled. If things continue on this road, it is difficult to see him remaining beyond the expiry of his contract in 2027.

@Watcher372 Progression from deep and ignoring it was a major oversight by slot. Arrogant. Basically dismissed what a Trent brought.

@StevLFC He was signed to replace trents creativity. He has history when it comes to taking time to settle and the high squad churn hasnt helped anyone. Look at salah, might as well be a new signing, every player hes close to is new. Wirtz, Strikers, rb.

Because we have the weirdest training regime, with the physical capabilities are so sporadic muscular injuries become more likely, especially when he goes with his National country and the manager actually gets them to run.
Anfield Edition | æ@AnfieldEdition

Jeremie Frimpong's injury record since moving to Liverpool: 🚑 Hamstring (2 games) 🚑 Hamstring (12 games) 🚑 Hamstring (5 games) He's gone off again tonight. Before signing for us, he'd missed 7 club games through injury in his career. You can't write it.

They appointed him for tournament qualification and more importantly the latter stages. Didn’t realize there was even a game. It’s a friendly. He won’t care. It’s all about the big stage for him.
