Bwahaha. Err..Amorim out?
Well, as its my scouse mates birthday and he wants to go to the pub to watch the match,
In Liverpool, or Manchester?
How’s the birthday boy Binners?
I know it's early days but it would be great to see Hearts do a Leicester.
Well I wasn’t expecting that!
I’m just savouring winding up some pretty pissed off scousers! 😂
Liverpool lose four on the bounce. CRISIS CLUB.
#SlotOut 😂
It’s like season 2020/21 when after winning the league they had a poor season. Missing Trent massively and Kerkez has been underwhelming too - delivery is poor. If that’s Isak now fit then I’ll go with theotherjonv’s theory of him being a one and a half season wonder. As for Salah - I think they’ll be hoping for a Saudi bid in January! Touch and pace has deserted him massively. Wirtz looked decent though when he came on - time to build the side around him?
United held firm and should have scored more in the first half especially.
Maguire does seem to score a lot of key goals. Maybe they should start him up front?
England’s top scoring defender! Harder chance than the one Gakpo spurned.

Big Virge (who was seriously off the pace today) does exactly the same for Liverpool at set pieces
Amorim played Slabhead as striker a few times at the back end of last season, mainly as our alleged striker couldn’t hit a barn door with a shovel
Does anyone know why Savage is getting a hard time, the beeb’s not particularly forthcoming?

I've found several articles about it - but nothing that details the chants.
Not a good look for Slot when he is blaming his woes on how other teams play - the low block and the temerity to play long balls.
Trent only played in half the games last season and when he did he was very average - its Diaz they are missing more as he chased from the front. Look at his form in Germany now.
Agree Diaz is a loss, but he wanted to go. His forms great, but the Bundesliga is a farmers league, remember 😁
Sean Dyche to Forest? Makes sense with the general trend to more direct tactics!

To be fair to him, it sounds a bit better than “other teams have sussed out how to play against us and beat us, but I don’t have a plan B”
I also loved his moaning that the game should have immediately been stopped when Mac Allister went down.
Great, so when the opposition breaks on the counter, just get one of your own players to elbow one of his team mates in the head and the ref will stop everything?
If the refs were stopping games every time a player went down, rolling around like they’d been shot, every EPL game would last for approximately 6 hours and nobody would bother watching it
#SlotOut 😂
You joke but there are lots of scousers on the internet saying exactly that, and not just on twitter where you find most of the nutters. Have to say I'm hugely enjoying Alexander Isak looking completely lost and bereft of confidence while his German replacement looks like a 6ft 6in Messi in comparison.
I always thought Isak to Liverpool was an odd move for Liverpool, it's not like they bought him to stop him going to City, Utd or Arsenal.
It has been notable in the European games this year that players are going down clutching their faces/heads for any minor contact, I am not sure what the solution is, its right that refs should treat potential head injuries seriously, but too many teams are deliberately trying to game that duty of care there does need to be some more severe punishment for simulation, maybe there can be some retrospective cards for simulation, I think it is to much to expect the ref to reliably judge it at match speed, but some are so obvious on the replays.
MOTD 2 made the valid comment that the Liverpool recruitment policy in the Summer was a top heavy and the goals against column so far would appear to confirm that. As we have noted with England managers, when you have a much larger pool of decent players to chose a team from it’s a matter of picking the best blend of players to play in a cohesive way rather than simply the eleven (or sixteen) best players. As for Man U, I’m not sure a corner has been definitively turned but up front they seem better able to keep hold of the ball and make something out of the possession.
Well, we’ll see as we’ve got Brighton next weekend and they’re a bloody good squad who’ve had a very good record against us for the last few seasons. They’ve given us a few kickings. They battered us 3-1 at Old Trafford last season.
Consistency has been our problem. We put in a good performance one week, then it’s back to being an absolute shambles 7 days later, hence this being Amorims first ever back-to-back win
So - it appears Sean Dyche is off to Forest. Do you reckon he has a plan and believes he can turn them around, or is he just thinking 'stuff this, I'll get paid a bit then get a massive pay-off when I inevitably get sacked by that idiot'.

+1
I haven't actually seen anything of him playing for Liverpool so far but it sounds like he's carried on in exactly the same way he played for us in the 10 premier league games after the cup final last season
Apparently Big Ange’s payoff for getting sacked was 7 million quid.
Not bad for a few weeks work.
Sean Dyche will probably take the job so he can get a similar sum in time for Christmas
Dyche similar style to Nuno. Organised, defensive, hoof it to the wide areas. It’s a good fit in terms of the existing squad I guess. Rumours on 5live this evening that the players told on Ange to Marinakis and got him sacked.
It's hard to see West Ham staying up, and the weird thing is I'm not even that bothered.

Dyche would seem to be a better fit for the team/system that Nuno left than Ange ever was. Looking forward to being in the office tomorrow to hear the entitled Forest fans bitching that a club like theirs deserves nothing less than Pep or Klopp.
The key question is who will throw the first punch, Dyche or Maranakis. Strikes me as being a fiery combination that might be great or might turn into a soap opera script.
Nah Dyche sounds like a brawler but he'll keep his head down & crack on.
I think the Hammers are done for - wonder if Nuno will last as long there as Ange did at Forest.
Ange will be in charge at West Ham before the end of the season - he plays the West Ham way

That is what Pep has faced for years and one of the main reasons some of City's football lacked excitement at times. Slot was very fortunate to join Liverpool when the main issue that hampered Klopp in latter seasons - aging midfielders who no longer had the legs - had been solved by the previous Summer's spending. He won the title with a points total that would not have been enough in any season bar 2017 (Leicester 81 points) and 2011 (Man United 80) since 2003.
Slot has been anointed by the media as some sort of genius and that led to him being handed an incredible war chest which may prove to have been an error. For the first time he is under pressure and his big, established players are looking their ages.
Glad to see the lozenger dodger back in the prem league but cant help feeling its not the manager who's the problem.
This seems especially fitting, given the thread title this season

Ere that Rashford looks a bit of a player - would love to see him in the Prem.
On a more serious note - delighted to see that the Spanish footballers protest at the weekend (not doing anything for 15 seconds after kick off) has led to them dropping the ridiculous notion of playing a league game in Miami.
That was a powerful display by Arsenal, if predictable. Keep it tight, score via set piece etc. But they rammed home their dominance thereafter.
Chelsea absolutely wiped the floor with Ajax.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
I see Isak's dodgy groin* has done its thing again. Couldn't happen to a more deserving player. Probably a good thing for Liverpool TBH, they'll do better now.
*or is it a chronic case of CBA?
rammed home their dominance thereafter
steady on now, this is a family website
@dazh - Isak needs to be 100% to perform. He has had numerous issues with his groin and never looks on form when coming back or just before he's off for a few matches.
Clearly demonstrated by his start to this season.
His problems are mounting as the pressure on him to perform is only going to increase.
Isak needs to be 100% to perform.
Or the reality is he's a fairly average player with a very dodgy attitude who massively benefitted from Howe's coaching which it looks like he's not going to receive from Slot. Seems pretty clear to me that Slot hasn't got a clue what to do with him and his approach is simply to throw him on the pitch and leave it up to him.
There's also lots of rumours flying around that his groin issue is a chronic condition which will likely result in him not lasting til he's 30. That might explain why he was so desperate to double his wages. Good job Fenway SG has deep pockets as it looks like it's going to cost them in the region of 150M for very little return.
Oh no poor Sheffield Wednesday -
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c1lqmmml533o
I knew they had been struggling for a while.
@Dazh - I don't think he's a "fairly average player". He's extremely talented.
However, the way the team was set up, was to provide the balls for him to knock in. Liverpool aren't going to be doing that. I agree that Howe's coaching team really brought him on as a player, it wasn't that long ago that Callum Wilson was keeping him on the bench.
The rumours regarding his chronic groin issue, there could be some truth in it, if it's true then this could of been one of worst bits of transfer business in history!
As far as Wednesday is concerned, isn’t this, rather counter-intuitively, good news?
If I understand it correctly, it means the club can now be sold, but the bastard of an owner, who’s brought them to this point, won’t now personally profit from the sale
