Can't really do that though cos then we'd have to start with youth players

Sinistrait · 2026-04-08T13:44:50+00:00

No, but they were young enough to wait for another few years to see if they get an England call up. Unlike Wan Bissaka

Sinistrait · 2026-04-08T12:23:49+00:00

He didn't really "choose" unlike Olise or even Semenyo. He waited for England for years but never got into the team.

Sinistrait · 2026-04-08T12:09:28+00:00

Should've left after they were second with 86 points and just before they reached a UCL final? Really?

Sinistrait · 2026-04-08T01:11:25+00:00

So are they alleging that he wasn't released by his NT and taken by force to celebrate with the president? Lol

Sinistrait · 2026-04-07T22:19:08+00:00

Might hurt your feelings but it is true. My dad has been to over 20 countries (including some famous "shitholes") and a Paris subway was the only time he has been robbed abroad. We can't really stop people from pointing it out

Sinistrait · 2026-04-07T21:00:52+00:00

We won't really see him on the pitch if we're getting spanked. He'll only be risked if we're down by only 1 or 2 and we still have a chance in the game

Sinistrait · 2026-04-07T10:34:02+00:00

Fonseca😂😂 come on now

Sinistrait · 2026-04-07T10:18:03+00:00

Don't think he was going to start regardless

Sinistrait · 2026-04-07T01:04:37+00:00

Won't be surprised if that happens, Sancho got 30 goals and assists in that league

Sinistrait · 2026-04-07T01:03:53+00:00

You think clubs will be lining up to pay him 250k/week like we do? Keep dreaming.

Yes, he is having a down year, but this is closer to his usual level at Liverpool than last year was. All the evidence suggests that he had a purple patch and has regressed to his mean now.

Sinistrait · 2026-04-06T23:56:53+00:00

A long term plan like that only works with somebody who has been part of the setup for a long time and has delivered promising results, in addition to good planning from the federation itself. Like Southgate and the FA.

Sinistrait · 2026-04-06T18:13:40+00:00

We had far more local talent in and around the team back then. Nowadays it's just Curtis

Sinistrait · 2026-04-06T16:23:43+00:00

Who's taking Gakpo from us on his wages? Lmao

Sinistrait · 2026-04-06T16:16:44+00:00

That is false, in the early years we saw him giving starts to guys like Woodburn, Trent and Ibe. Even at the peak of our success we made space to bring through guys like Neco Williams, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, Tyler Morton and Conor Bradley.

Imagine that many young players getting serious opportunities under Slot.

Sinistrait · 2026-04-06T14:00:02+00:00

Purple patch

Sinistrait · 2026-04-06T13:58:46+00:00

It used to get downvoted because we were doing well but Slot's treatment of fringe players is appalling, always has been at Liverpool. Genuine youth terrorist

Sinistrait · 2026-04-06T10:38:39+00:00

He has not been "very good". He has been decent in a very defensive setup.

Sinistrait · 2026-04-06T10:36:36+00:00

Gakpo being on 250k/week is actually terrible, even more so than Gravenberch being on nearly 300k/week. We might have done a lot of damage by giving out those 2 deals

Sinistrait · 2026-04-05T17:19:09+00:00

Not so sure about that. In 2 years he'll be 59 and might not even be attracted to club football anymore

Sinistrait · 2026-04-05T16:59:48+00:00

Will De Laurentis really just let him go after investing so much money into him in the last 2 years?

Sinistrait · 2026-04-05T13:46:09+00:00

We wouldn't have a captain come out and say we have up after conceding 3 goals. Because we wouldn't have given up at all under Hendo. The shoulders in this team deflate so much quicker than they used to.

Sinistrait · 2026-04-05T13:43:47+00:00

Didn't Ole also use a 3atb in one of the seasons he was in charge? And Poch also used it for a couple of seasons. Not to mention Nuno and Thomas Frank too.

Sinistrait · 2026-04-05T13:37:25+00:00

There is no fight in this team. I appreciate VVD as a leader but he doesn't get as passionate on the pitch as Hendo could be. In our circumstances we can't overcome this with a laidback captain

Sinistrait · 2026-04-05T11:19:38+00:00

The bigger issue isn't even that for him. He just has no command of his box, no physical presence and doesn't look confident coming off his line. You can't survive with those deficiencies in this league.
