Like I said before. Difference between Slot and Klopp is in Transitions. Slots team are not frantic in possession, and are not total Gung - ho like Klopps Liverpool. Hence better alround stability

Astonishing they won't give vvd and salah new contracts.
If vvd , salah and trent end up going free after this summer
Serious questions need asking about this board it's not like they spent a huge amount anyhow how many big signings as slot even made ?

When have your owners ever really shown ambition?
They pretty much depend on your DOF and manager to get the best out of signings and the team. At one point a few seasons ago you had a better team and squad than City. But didn't build on that.
Most of these American owners don't give a **** about going thar extra mile to be dominant over a sustained period. They are happy to win occasionally trophy here and there. (Kronkes are same with their lack of ambition)
Listening to salah speak its almost as though he's rightly insulted by lack of an offer, so he probably will be going as well TAA. VVD, not sure what big clubs are currently showing interest?

So your now favs for PL and CL
Acc to bookies, LFC are favs for both. My personal opinion is LFC favs for the league now but CL is wide open, its a cup comp and form can change by April/May.
9 points clear but for me the way LFC are playing their football, its very impressive. This is title wining form.

Will Salah get one too?
====
Liverpool have offered a new contract to captain Virgil van Dijk, it has been reported
That is according to The Athletic's David Ornstein who has said on X, external that following an opening proposal, a contract offer has now been made.
The report also suggests that talks are ongoing with Trent Alexander-Arnold and a new deal for Mohamed Salah will also be proposed soon.
All three have contracts currently set to expire at the end of the season.

3-3
Hectic & intense game .
Liverpool poor in the first half . 2nd played brilliantly but a shocking decision by the keeper .
2 points dropped but newcastle were incredible, deserved a point .
Fair result.

Draw snatched from jaws of victory but truthfully we didn't deserve more. We looked leggy after Real Madrid and Man City, especially in the 1st half.
Fatigue is no excuse for Quansah and Gomez though. Always feel there's a mistake in us when both are in the same backline.
Our passing and pressing was much improved second half with good chances created. Nunez was guilty of a couple of criminal misses.
Draw not worst result at St James Park. Newcastle took points off Man City and Arsenal. However Everton takes on even bigger importance now.

Liverpool’s choke might have been activated from today, but Slot isn’t a certified bottler like Klopp yet, so we shouldn’t be harsh on him. He is a better manager than Klopp for sure.

I thought LFC were done and dusted, it’s not easy to claw back at St. James Park; but Salah did what ATG’s do, what a special player, he has to be in the conversation for the greatest of all time imo, especially in the EPL

Liverpool 'expecting' Salah to continue, says Slot
Liverpool boss Arne Slot says the club expect Mohamed Salah to "continue for a long time" after his stunning performance in the 3-3 draw at Newcastle.
Salah, 32, is out of contract at Anfield at the end of the season and said last week he was "disappointed" by the club's failure to offer him a new one.
The Egyptian again highlighted his worth at Newcastle, creating Liverpool's opener for Curtis Jones and then scoring two excellent finishes before Fabian Schar's late, late equaliser.
Slot told Amazon Prime: "Every time we need Mo Salah he scores a goal.
"We are hoping and expecting he can continue this for a long time. He was outstanding in the second half, he did many special things for us."
'Incredible stats'
Robbie Fowler scored 128 times in the Premier League for Liverpool and was in no doubt about how the club should handle Salah's future.
Speaking on Amazon Prime, Fowler said: "Salah's stats and data are incredible. We talked about him getting that new contract and his agent should be there first thing in the morning to get him to sign that contract.
"He is that player who can change a game. He has moments and he is exceptional in those moments. He is a match winner."
Salah's stunning second half means he has now scored and assisted in 37 Premier League matches, overtaking Wayne Rooney (36) as the player to have done so on the most occasions in the competition.
Salah has scored in each of his past seven Premier League matches, with the Egyptian becoming just the third player to have two separate runs of seven or more consecutive games scored in a row in the competition along with Jamie Vardy and his new Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Salah has 325 goals and assists in 370 games for Liverpool since joining from Roma in 2017, and only legendary captain Steven Gerrard (92) has more than his 76 assists for the club in the Premier League.
Salah's total of 168 Premier League goals for Liverpool puts him comfortably top of the club's list - add in the two he got for Chelsea and Salah is eighth in the all-time charts, just five behind Arsenal great Thierry Henry.
'They have to keep him'
Speaking on Match of the Day, former Manchester City defender Micah Richards said Liverpool have to retain their forward.
"We keep talking about him - he is unbelievable," said Richards.
"He doesn't even play well for 60 minutes but he's world class. We talk about his contract, is he staying or is he going?
"They must keep him because he can do so many things others can't do. He doesn't have to be at the top of his game - not many people can score goals like that.
"Mo Salah is immense."

Time will tell, but both should have a better PL legacy than Klopp by the time they are finished.
Last Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park tomorrow (unless weather forces a postponement) so expecting an emotional atmosphere to spur Everton on.
A win would be massive but suspecting another draw.
Need a better defensive performance, conceding too many goals away from home at the minute.

Mohamed Salah 'has agreed a new two-year contract at Liverpool as talisman and the Reds board reach an agreement to extend his stay' with forward's deal expiring at the end of the season
Liverpool have reportedly reached an agreement with Mohamed Salah over a new contract.
There has been much speculation regarding the future of the winger, whose current deal is set to expire at the end of June.
As reported by The Mirror, Salah is now on the brink of signing a new two-year contract to remain at Anfield.
Salah's agent Rammy Abbas told Liverpool that he wanted a three-year contract for his client, with Fenway Sports Group having initially only been prepared to offer him a one-year extension.
However, a compromise has now been reached, with the 32-year-old set to prolong his stay at the club who he has represented since 2017.
Salah already earns around £400,000-a-week at Liverpool, with money having not been an issue with regards to him deciding his future.
Liverpool are also looking to tie down Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold to new deals, with both players also in the final year of their current contracts.
Salah remains a player of key importance for Liverpool, as shown by the fact that he has scored 13 goals and provided eight assists in 14 Premier League games this season.
In total, the Egyptian star has scored 226 goals in 370 appearances for Liverpool.
He has won the Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup and two League Cups during his time at the club.
The news regarding Salah will be a huge boost for Arne Slot, whose side are currently top of the Premier League.
Last month, Salah had revealed his disappointment at not having been offered a new deal by Liverpool at that stage.
Speaking to a small selection of reporters after Liverpool's win at Southampton, Salah said: 'We are almost in December and I haven't received any offers yet to stay in the club. I'm probably more out than in.
'You know I have been in the club for many years. There is no club like this. But in the end it is not in my hands. As I said, it is December and I haven't received anything yet about my future.
'I love the fans. The fans love me. In the end it is not in my hands or the fans' hands.'
Asked if he was disappointed about the lack of progress, Salah added: 'Of course, yeah. I'm not going to retire soon so I'm just playing, focusing on the season and I'm trying to win the Premier League and hopefully the Champions League as well. I'm disappointed but we will see.'

@KingKhanWC What a weekend for Liverpool, and we didn't even play a minute of football !
Derby gets called off giving us a much needed rest with so many players injured, City draw at Palace and Arsenal draw at Fulham.
As Javed Miandad said after being wrongly given not out in the 92 WC Final, Allah smiles on us today.

It’s worked out well . After Madrid , City & castle , the players have so much energy , the legs need a big rest .
We need Konate back asap . Goalscoring is no issue for the mighty reds but without a solid defence , dropping points is possible in any game .
Chelsea are playing well but when the new year arrives it will test them .
If Salah keeps playing at this outrageous level , everything is on the table !

Liverpool's Andy Robertson sees red as VAR confirms two crucial decisions in Fulham clash
Liverpool's Andy Robertson saw red just 17 minutes into the game against Fulham after an earlier incident that had him writhing in pain, prompting a VAR review. The Scottish defender was on the wrong end of a high boot from Fulham's Issa Diop at Anfield, leading to a lengthy check by officials, but no red card.
The Premier League's Match Centre X account clarified the situation with a statement: "The referee issued a yellow card to Diop for a challenge on Robertson. VAR checked for a potential red card and confirmed the referee's call of reckless challenge and yellow card."
Despite this, Fulham managed to snatch the lead with Andreas Pereira nailing a goal past Robertson, who couldn't stop the ball at the line.
Things went from bad to worse for Robertson when he fouled Harry Wilson, resulting in a direct sending off by referee Tony Harrington.
The decision underwent a VAR check for possible offside and to determine if Robertson was the last man, as Virgil van Dijk was nearby, but the red card stood firm. The Premier League later stated: "The referee issued a red card to Robertson for a foul on Wilson which denied a goal scoring opportunity. VAR checked to confirm the red card and that Wilson was in an onside position."

Andy Robertson was shown a red card just 17 minutes into Liverpool's Premier League clash with Fulham, with the decision checked by VAR before the Scotland left-back was given his marching orders

Good point in the end . 10 men for 80% of match , twice behind is acceptable.
But a big opportunity wasted to really get away from the chasing pack .
Chelsea are in this .. no doubt

Good spirit shown having played mostly with 10 men. However the number of goals we've recently conceded in the PL is alarming.
Time to go for Milos Kerkez in Jan. It's better Andy Robertson loses his legs on someone else's pitch.
He's looked vulnerable in a few 1v1s this season and has conceded several penalties. Trent was poor defensively too - Fulham got so much joy down that side and we were fortunate they weren't very clinical in most of their counterattacks.
Opposite of Newcastle where this feels like a point gained instead of two points dropped - but with Arsenal drawing at home it's frustrating we couldn't capitalise.
Play the kids at Southampton and give the rest a week to prepare for Spurs which is a massive fixture now.
