Liverpool v Fulham: 💰 Not A Pound In The Ground ❌ No Flags ✋ NO To Multi-Year Price Increases 💪🏼 Unity Is Strength 👂 @John_W_Henry #LFC

@JamesPearceLFC Yeah Billy we understand your maths. This is not about that. This about LFC being unwilling to talk!

Liverpool CEO Billy Hogan has written to all season ticket holders and members ahead of planned protests at Anfield tomorrow over ticket price increases. "Liverpool Football Club fully respects the right of supporters to protest and we acknowledge those supporters who are opposed to this approach. But we would also ask one thing in the days and weeks ahead: that any protest, and any debate, is grounded in the facts - what is changing, why it is changing, and what it means in real terms."

@thisisanfield Not the first time with him either!

NEW: Dominik Szoboszlai is not ready to be Liverpool captain after Etihad outburst lfc.thisisanfield.com/TRtTsG

@Corballyred He’s not gone yet!

Salah announces he's leaving, and not one senior figure at the club—Slot, Edwards, Hughes, Hogan, John Henry, Tim Werner, or even Van Bronckhorst—has thanked him for everything he's done for Liverpool. Instead, we get a low-effort top 10 video from Carragher on the official channels. Salah has added billions to LFC's value. The least they could do is publicly acknowledge it.

@henrywinter What is all this talk of a title “defence” this isn’t boxing. We aren’t defending anything, in that sense. The season resets. Everyone has an equal chance. It’s not really a relevant point.

Liverpool’s anaemic title defence has to go down as one of the worst in years. To play with this lack of intensity, this lack of organisation defensively, this lack of pace is so poor and reflects badly on Arne Slot. Liverpool teams have identity. This one doesn’t.  Liverpool are such a difficult watch: good players shorn of energy and belief (Kerkez and Mamardashvili played well, Ngumoha deserves to come on earlier). Mitigating factors exist, including the failure to move earlier last summer and land Marc Guehi that proved very damaging.   A decision has to be made on Slot in the summer, but surely not now. Not while Liverpool are still in the Champions League  - although PS-G’s Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Barcola and Doue will take some stopping by that vulnerable defence. Not while they are still in the FA Cup - although they travel to Manchester City four days before visiting PS-G. And not while they still have a chance of finishing in the top five - although their run-in involves run-ins: Everton, Manchester United and Aston Villa away. Fulham, Palace, Chelsea (six-pointer) and Brentford at home. Forbidding schedule. #LFC

@WilcoFtbl Who says we could have got him for £40. This assumption is peddled all the time. No basis in fact at all!

Not signing Marc Guehi in the summer will end up costing Liverpool more money this season through losing out on prize money, than the £40m transfer fee they could have just paid. Pathetic.

@Corballyred Agreed that was a ridiculous idea! Took the piss. God knows what they were thinking with that one.

Knew we had serious issues with Slot when, instead of planning next season, he was partying in Ibiza before PL even finished. Imagine Alex Ferguson —the most successful PL manager ever—in a DJ booth celebrating the title before season end. Guarantee you players definitely weren't impressed. That was the beginning of the end for Slot 👍

@Corballyred We didn’t spend 440 on EXTRA players! We spent it on REPLACING players! We had to replace 340mil of players. So we spent 100. You don’t get far with 100.

@leightongates Well sack Hughes and Edwards as well so, imagine winning a PL then spending 440 million in a window and not having enough squad depth 🫢

Liverpool starting XI good enough for major trophies. Players aren't the issue – it's clearly the manager. New manager next season + a couple smart signings = major trophies again. Keep Slot and it'll be more of the same. Slotball is the worst footy I've seen from LFC – no PR or roundtables will change that. Over to Edwards & Hughes to act. If they don't, they need to go too 👍 #SLOTOUT

@Duckers56132160 It’s really weird and annoying eh! Has he always done this?

Has Gary Neville been taking voice coaching lessons, or has he decided that pronouncing the ‘g’ on the end of ‘ing’ words makes him sound more professional. Cos, tbh, it just makes him sound special

@Corballyred No! That’s not how it works ;). We can’t play both Madrid and Munich!

We will likely have to beat PSG, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich just to get to the final 🫢 Let's just concentrate on the FA Cup 😂

People fooling themselves thinking Galatasaray's a good draw. We're on same side as PSG, Real, Bayern & Man City → our chances have slashed 😢 At least Slot gets dream PSG tie if we beat Gala. And he e can bang on about it for next 12 months 😂

@Corballyred Thats true. But we can only play 2 of those 4!

@Toonimator @preterniadotcom Thanks for the info. That’s a shame. And annoying to me.

@leightongates @preterniadotcom DST was, IIRC, meant to be 1/12 scale, as if they existed in a world with 1/12 humans. NECA’s Sesame Street & these new ones are closer to Palisades Muppets, so much larger than DST… a bit bigger than Palisades, at a guess!

NECA The Muppets

@Corballyred True. Slots had a bad season. But Hughes and Edward’s set him up to fail. Endless Transfer fails! Zubimendi, Geuhi, Geertruida. If we had those in the squad we would be fine.

@leightongates I'd say Slot Hughes and Edwards, all of them 👍

Slot propaganda this week has been insane. Roundtable PR pieces + "insiders" basically leaking how great he is🫢 Reality: he's been catastrophic this season. We're 7th on pts (level w/ Brentford), 7 pts behind Villa, just 2 ahead of Everton after 2/3 of season. Results don't lie. Today is absolute must-win. Don't want another Rodgers 15/16 situation—puff pieces after disaster, then another season. 👍

@SkySportsNews Merson is so niave to business.

Paul Merson on Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz's partnership and his ''shock'' at Jérémy Jacquet joining Liverpool over Chelsea, in the summer 🔴

@AnfieldEdition @LewisSteele_ He’s played about 20 senior games! Some leap of faith that!

🥇 | @LewisSteele_: Jeremy Jacquet is seen as a player who can immediately impact the first-team.

@AnfieldEdition @GraemeBailey The pair of them have played about 50 games combined. They are prospects. We need 1st team players.

🥉 | @GraemeBailey: There is confidence at Liverpool that Giovanni Leoni could form an effective partnership with Jeremy Jacquet in the future, negating the need for another defensive addition in the summer.

@David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC “Contender”. Shambles! :(

🚨 Liverpool not proceeding with deal to sign Lutsharel Geertruida. Chance presented to #LFC, ready to advance + 25yo keen; but proved too complicated. Alternative not expected but contender for Jeremy Jacquet of Rennes as summer acquisition @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/70133…
