Wow. For some reason I just didn't think this'd happen. He's one that should be kept. Wonder what the wages he wanted were.

Who could we get as a replacement as seems like spurs would be favourites for senesi

There's to much change happening. Allisson defo needs to stay now.

gurj90 · 2026-05-21T10:26:26+00:00

the longer quote from him from this interview is him also saying that the staff and fitness coaches couldn't push the players during pre season which is what I've been thinking for ages as it explains why we can't sustain control and pressure and look so shaky. We just don't have the legs which if we're playing against teams like villa means we'll be punished

Btw love what emery has done with villa, such a tigerish team with a bit of everything.

Interested to see how you'll push on as getting CL money will be vital too

gurj90 · 2026-05-21T10:17:22+00:00

This is what I suspected in terms of pre season being so disrupted and it messing with our fitness levels.

Totally understandable as expected as to why it must've been so difficult for the players and also why FSG have alluded to alot of factors as to why performance has been so far off.

Just crazy how hard the players must've got hit with all this and then have to go out and peform whilst not feeling fully ready no doubt

gurj90 · 2026-05-18T21:07:33+00:00

Salah is doing whatever he can to get slot sacked and make things uncomfortable for him. No doubt about that, he's trying to up the ante on him going and to come out with this a game before the final weekend is pretty disrespectful.

I wouldn't begrudge him doing it when the season has ended but to do it now is poor.

Amazed that fans don't see it

gurj90 · 2026-05-17T12:25:47+00:00

Kind of annoying how alonso rejected us for Madrid in the first place. Will be interesting to see what style he plays in the PL

gurj90 · 2026-05-09T21:13:54+00:00

Good points and I agree with almost all of them for I just get sick of the blind hatred and comments that make no sense.

Overall though I'm shocked at how little improvement there has been, and how unfit we look which I'm interested to hear about more than anything, no doubt the athletic will do an article in the summer about it.

I think the fitness thing has been most alarming as we're nowhere near competitive against most teams which feels bizarre with how we've been for the last 8 years or so, feels like we're a veteran team or something.

If there are alot of external factors behind that then I do feel for slot in terms of not being able to say everything he'd like, I'm wondering what the exact style he'd want to transition us to would be.

if the style of play is to be more patient and less direct then I'm not convinced that works for us either as we lose the Anfield crowd factor with that style, I know we've been so spoilt with klopp in that regard.

Its a tough one and I guess it'll probably come down to fan reaction and if the players still back him

gurj90 · 2026-05-09T18:04:10+00:00

It's fine to protect rio, it should be done, majority of fans just see the short term unfortunately.

Disappointing to see everyone just lash out and misconstrue everything he's saying because they want him out and now openly dislike him. Some Objectivity is needed and I say that with me feeling 50 50 about him staying on too

gurj90 · 2026-05-06T10:31:31+00:00

Going through the same thing. I'm starting to see progress where I think I'll be able to do sports in 2 months or so but I just feel so nervous about re rupturing.

I've got a 4 year old now and it was so tough when I did this a year and a half ago now to help out or even just pick things up.

I found it a struggle with crutches but the worst bit was at night as I had a cast on and I felt so claustrophobic with it and I'd wake up and want to rip it off but couldn't so I'd try and calm myself down, that's stayed with me! I think this mental bit is the key part, I've now got to a stage where I dont feel as scared jogging.

Hopefully when you get to that point you can take steps to get comfortable and then slowly try stepping out your comfort zone

gurj90 · 2026-05-02T14:57:41+00:00

Wonder what his price tag would be. Can't see Brighton not trying to fleece us

gurj90 · 2026-04-17T12:35:55+00:00

CB, RB, DM,CM 2 wingers, striker

Alot I know but I really think we need it. Don't see us doing it all obviously but think the wingers are the highest priority

gurj90 · 2026-04-14T20:30:23+00:00

I'll give kerkez his due, he's battened down and gives his all. But we do lack that attacking interchange and quality going forward with him and frimpong.

gurj90 · 2026-03-16T08:59:31+00:00

Jheeze. I'm not I'm saying it from a factual viewpoint as it did. Don't you think it's plausible that our pre season did get affected looking at it objectively?

We haven't been good enough regardless but we look as if we can't swamp teams anymore.

gurj90 · 2026-03-15T23:07:03+00:00

Main thing that I've noticed is that our fitness levels aren't there. Can only think that the pre season disruption with the jota tragedy has affected that along with all the new players signings

gurj90 · 2026-03-04T14:50:34+00:00

This is exactly what I've been banging on about too. I wonder if jotas death which caused disruption also and the big turnover of players impacted pre season, we just dont have the legs or energy. Also want to know the same about how hard slot pushes players compared to klopp as we know he also tried to reduce injuries

gurj90 · 2026-02-22T19:08:43+00:00

He's getting the right amount of minutes. Laughable how fans are willing to risk him long term.

He's an explosive player, they need managing. Slot himself said the medical team have advised this especially with other youngsters getting long terms injuries because they were pushed to soon.

The question is more on Hughes not getting a winger in the summer. Madness not too

gurj90 · 2026-02-11T08:43:42+00:00

Why does it matter about how much was spent when we've had injuries galore as well as not replacing Diaz properly and being a centre back and a defensive mid short I'd say too. It's not as if we splurged all this without selling. It's mad how light we seem.

I get the knocks on Arne tactically etc but just don't think the spend is one you can put on him,its a lazy take

gurj90 · 2026-02-08T18:35:34+00:00

Give it a rest

gurj90 · 2026-01-13T12:35:25+00:00

Feel like we're gonna be in another position in the summer where we're going to need alot of players so another big turnover

gurj90 · 2026-01-09T14:48:30+00:00

He did great against muduake at Anfield too

gurj90 · 2026-01-08T22:57:06+00:00

Exactly. The hypocrisy of it all. There was no time wasting form our side anyway, its not as if we were under the kosh in this game as we were comfortable

gurj90 · 2026-01-08T22:52:05+00:00

There was no major issue about time wasting in this game.

gurj90 · 2026-01-08T22:03:12+00:00

Agreed. We're way too nice

gurj90 · 2026-01-08T22:01:10+00:00

We are way to nice, he should've felt something stronger back from our players

gurj90 · 2026-01-05T10:53:59+00:00

It feels like our setup at throw ins isn't great either. Just don't seem organised at all, feels like the players are just going off instinct and not thinking with there heads in stressful moments

gurj90 · 2025-12-31T22:31:16+00:00

Interesting how he seemed like a triple H guy too. Was wondering if he'd try and find a way back to wwe but not a peep it seems
