Top flight 20 or something right :yk3

They will equal united and are still no.1 overall, we’re in the top 7 and could have gone past Spurs if we didn’t fumble the FA Cup.

Liverpool have been miles better than rest of teams in PL this season, on course for 90+ points and only lost 2 league games so far. So fair play to them.

NUMBER 20 !

What an amazing moment. Robbed of this five years ago due to COVID and social distances, finally a league title win in front of fans after 35 years.

Congrats mate, I found it amusing when you couldn’t celebrate in the streets but you will get to this time, just make sure you don’t litter; then again, at least it will be collected :yk
 
20 league titles, one of the best !

Players worked so hard all season, they deserve the glory .

At Anfield to bring it home, perfect .

Klopp set this team up, Slot utilised this brilliantly.

Amazing stuff from LFC. Congrats to the fans

However, I am sure they would wanted better performance in cup tournaments like - CL, Carabo & FA cup considering the form their team is in.

Thanks guys.

Not even the most optimistic Liverpool fan predicted us winning the league with a new head coach.

Despite the 15pt gap, it's been hard work with so many quality teams. Most of our games have been decided by narrow margins. In another European league, the likes of Villa or Newcastle would be challenging for the title.
 
Fair play to Slot for making tweaks on klopps team and they way they played. That's helped them massively in the league this season.

Liverpool could end up with 94 points. Yet if you look at the squad, they could get even stronger next season if they replace TAA, Trent, Nunez, Jota with quality replacements.
 
Congrats to Liverpool, worthy winners.

Slot has done an unbelievable job, to only make one signing (who barely contributed) and pretty much walk the league is some achievement.

He was helped by Klopp laying solid foundations but to take that, add his own style and win is impressive.

Whilst the Premier League as a collective is really competitive if he gets backed in the summer this provides a real opportunity for Liverpool to win multiple titles rather than it be a one off
 
Slot thanks Klopp moments after Liverpool win title

Liverpool manager Arne Slot paid tribute to his predecessor Jurgen Klopp moments after his side won the Premier League title.

The Reds defeated Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield on Sunday to clinch a record-equalling 20th top-flight title, with Slot becoming the first Dutch coach to win the Premier League.

"It feels great. I don't think I want to say a lot. The only thing now is to send my appreciation to Jurgen Klopp," Slot, who replaced Klopp as Liverpool manager last summer, told LFCTV.

The 46-year-old immediately launched into a rendition of the song Klopp asked Liverpool fans to sing after his final game last May, but replaced the lyrics 'Arne Slot' with 'Jurgen Klopp'.

"I am 99.9% sure that if I pick up my phone there will be a message from Jurgen," he told BBC Match of the Day.

"So many moments in the season the two of us have had contact. I think he showed last season what a wonderful human being he is by introducing me.

"But what mattered most is the team he left behind that was able to win the trophy."

Slot, speaking to Sky Sports, added: "The work Jurgen and Pep [Lijnders] did - the culture, work-rate, quality - was outstanding,"

Slot has shown just like a few managers in past, you can take over a side who has fallen short / needs a fresh face / new set ideas and you can get over line.

Yet at other clubs fans act like the club with cease to exist if the manager was sacked, left or moved on.

Klopp would have a also won the league season imo but it's a fair point, a new manager can change a teams fortunes esp if they are not getting over the line.

Liverpool were struggling to replace no.6 after Fabhino when he was at his best but Slot turned Gravenberch into a brilliant 6, hes been outstanding.

Slot was smart enough to do his home work and saw where Liverpool fell short last season.

Also he's changed the roles of certain players and also players workloads and expectations.

Now because Liverpool aren't pressing as much the energy levels later in season are higher. On top of that he's realised players like Salah, Diaz, gapko need to focus on just attacking and not worrying bout defending, pressing to win ball back. The other 8 players in team will do the defensive work. Also he knows players like jota can't play all time so he's used him smartly.

Liverpool should be looking at 4 signings In summer maybe 5.

New LB - kerkerez from Bournemouth would be ideal
New RB - if trent leaves
Replacement for nunez
Replacement for jota

Maybe another midfielder

Will see how ambitious FSG are in backing the manager or if they are content in asking the manager and Edwards to work magic every season.

No klopp wouldn't have win title this year, if Liverpool played same as last year, same burnout would have happened. Klopp went at right time.
 
I said it beginning of season. Liverpool were more under control under Slot than under Klopp. Less hectic and more possession based, which gave them protection in

I think klopp would have got 83+points , Slot done it with 4 games to go.

Salah and VVd are good signings for us , these two are all time PL XI players imo.

Squad is very good , but I agree those areas must be improved. Imagine if LFC had a 20 goal a season striker ? However Cody G as 9 instead of left wing can get 15 pl goals.

The party is 4 weeks long, great time to a lfc fan
 
Mamoon said:
The usual once per season fluke by Nunez. He did it last season at Newcastle as well.

Liverpool got lucky today, but these late winners are mentally taxing and will take its toll them.

Liverpool are jaded and running out of ideas. Salah as usual disappearing this time of the year.

Arsenal must be licking its lips right now, but it is important to get the job done today.

Emery and Martinez getting owned is always a pleasure to witness.

Another amazing prediction from the Peshawar Jimmy Hill :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

@KingKhanWC I'm ready for a mentally taxing trophy lift on May 25.
 
Alexander-Arnold to leave Liverpool at end of season

England right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has confirmed he will leave Premier League champions Liverpool at the end of the season.

The 26-year-old, who has been at the club since he was six, is out of contract on 30 June and is expected to join Real Madrid.

"After 20 years at Liverpool Football Club, now is the time for me to confirm that I will be leaving at the end of the season," Alexander-Arnold announced on social media.

"This is easily the hardest decision I've ever made in my life."

He was one of three high-profile players whose deals at Anfield ran out this summer, but while Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk have signed new contracts in recent weeks, Alexander-Arnold will leave.

The Liverpool-born defender has made 352 appearances scored 23 goals for the club since making his debut in 2016.

He has helped them win this season's top-flight title under Arne Slot and also won the Premier League under the Reds' former manager Jurgen Klopp in 2019-20.

His other trophies with Liverpool also include the Champions League in 2018-19, the 2022 FA Cup and two League Cups.

"This club has been my whole life – my whole world - for 20 years," added Alexander-Arnold.

"From the academy right through until now, the support and love I have felt from everyone inside and outside of the club will stay with me forever. I will forever be in debt to you all.

"But, I have never known anything else and this decision is about experiencing a new challenge, taking myself out of my comfort zone and pushing myself both professionally and personally."

Liverpool said Alexander-Arnold "will depart with our gratitude and appreciation for his contribution during a sustained period of success".

French minister apologises to Liverpool fans over Champions League chaos

France's former interior minister has apologised for the first time for the 2022 fiasco at the Stade de France which saw Liverpool football supporters wrongly blamed for a riot.

Gérald Darmanin admitted that security arrangements for the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid were wrong, and that his first public remarks – blaming English fans – were a mistake.

"It was a failure because I had not foreseen. That was a mistake on my part. I was led astray by my preconceptions," said Darmanin, now France's justice minister.

"The scapegoat was easy to find, and I apologise now to Liverpool supporters. They were quite right to be hurt. It was a mistake and a failure."

Quite a lot of boos for Trent as he came on

Quite shocking really for a club that talks about never walking alone
 
Worst fan base in the league for a reason. There is more to being a fan than singing songs.

Threatened Gerrard with life threats after he had his head turned by Chelsea in 2005 and now booing a player who won everything for them. Absolutely shameful.
 
Probably the most irrelevant champions in years. You can tell by the lack of hype and coverage in the media. Even their own social media team is dead.

Yes the engravers should carve "but but but there was a lack of media hype" on the PL trophy.

Unlike Arsenal fans obsessed with winning social media bantz trophies, or Mikel Arteta's embarrassing "we were statistically the best Champions League team" trophy - we'd much rather win actual trophies.

Anyway cheer up and dry those tears Doc because like Netflix, there's always next season !

Excellent signing at that price. Good age also

Hes the perfect right back for liverpool, excellent in decision making when attacking. He will improve under Slot too. It's less than £30m , bargain.

I prefer not to have too many new signings when the squad is pretty solid . A CB and striker will help

Frimpong is classed as a homegrown player too.

Hopefully Kerkez also gets done and that's our full backs sorted.

If we sign a CB who can one day succeed VVD and a quality centre forward to reduce burden on Salah then we've had a cracking summer. But centre forward options are limited and I don't see us paying £100m+ for Isak.

If Jota can stay fit he can score 15-20 pl goals. Nunez if he stays one day could find the net regularly but it's a risk with these two . Surely one has to go and be replaced? Isak prob wants to stay another year to see what Newcastle can achieve

Honestly you scousers have got it sorted.

Your recruitment is spot on.

Identify the Talent, fits the profile, characteristics, Bingo

tbf this is a bargain again , like salah, mc allister, graven etc . As soon as he sings his price doubles.

Most importantly he fits liverpool style of play, him and Salah will link well .

When you have a solid squad and a team which has won everything, reinforcing with quality easier because you're not desperate . This is when you huge for avg players, liverpool also have failures , it's the nature of the game but overall the recruitment from klopp taking over has been the reason for success .
 
Jeremie Frimpong completes Liverpool medical ahead of summer move from Bayer Leverkusen

Liverpool are close to completing a deal to sign Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, with the player completing his medical on Monday.

The 24-year-old, whose release clause stands at €35m (£29.5m), has told Bayer Leverkusen he wants to leave the Bundesliga club and Liverpool have met his release clause.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot highly rates the right-back, who can also play as a winger.

The Netherlands international was a key member of the Leverkusen team that won the German domestic double last season.

Celtic have a sell-on clause which could be worth about £5m.

Leverkusen signed Frimpong from Celtic in a deal worth up to £11.5m in January 2021.

Frimpong moved from Manchester City's academy to Celtic for £300,000 in September 2019.

Sky Sports News had previously reported the defender would be happy to move to Anfield if the club decided to sign a right-back to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold this summer.

Alexander-Arnold has announced he will leave the club when his contract expires on June 30.

Conor Bradley, 21, is ending the season as Liverpool's first-choice right-back as they plan for the future without Alexander-Arnold.

Arne Slot and his team tell the story of the 2024/25 season as Liverpool celebrate a record equalling 20th top-flight crown. Watch on Sky Sports Premier League at 7pm on Sunday.

Slot: It's hard to strengthen our squad

With the Premier League title wrapped up three weeks ago speculation has already begun about where else Liverpool will look to strengthen their squad in preparation for a renewed challenge from the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal.

Speaking ahead of Monday's game with Brighton, live on Sky Sports, Slot said adding to their ranks would be tricky - and admitted he also has to find a way of keeping happy fringe players who have barely featured this season.

"I've said many times already that we, as a club, are very happy with the players we've got," he said.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot discusses who could replace Trent Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool, after being asked about Frimpong

"Part of it is our decision but in some situations players that haven't played a lot are not looking forward to another season not playing a lot.

"So, there's always an ongoing process and we have to make sure that we are prepared if we can strengthen the squad.

"But it's difficult to strengthen this squad. There's a reason why we won the league - because we have so many great players.

"It's an ongoing process, what we are talking about. I think this club has shown so many times in the past that they will make the right decisions.

"And we made the right decision this season as well not to bring in a player at all - except for Federico Chiesa [for £10m] - and that worked out quite well."

That will be a real statement of intent.

With Kerkez likely.... a striker and a winger is needed with Diaz likely to leave.

Plenty of money with exits or make weights in deals as well.

A successful window wouls be

Frimpong
Wirtz
Kerkez
A winger (if Diaz leaves)
A new striker

Yeah the Wirtz news has taken me by surprise. It looked inevitable he'd sign for Bayern, but several things fell in our favour:

a) The supposed German transfer ITKs say Wirtz was more impressed with Slot's tactical presentation and AXA training ground; b) Leverkusen hate selling to their rivals; c) They may buy Quansah to replace the departing Jonathan Tah (or Elliott as their new #10); and d) His best mate Frimpong is coming here.

Honestly I haven't seen Wirtz play besides the YT compilations but if he excites the people who know more about football than me then I'm excited.

The question is where he plays ? Can replace Szobo as the #10 - but might leave us open in midfield. Could be a false #9 but is he physically robust enough for the PL to play there ?

Looking at his heatmap he's mostly played as a left forward. That possibly means either Diaz becomes our permanent #9 or he'll be sold to Barca.

Lots of questions to answer this summer.
 
Wirtz is a quality 10, there's no doubt it.

But his Transfer fee is way off the mark.

In my opnion hes not a 100 million plus player, hence the reason City pulled out.

If Musiala and Wirtz where both in the market, I'd definitely go For Musiala.
 
Wirtz is serious quality . Hes only 22 but already matured his football into one of the best midfielders in the world imo .

He can play on the left or central. Can send Diaz or Cody In the middle
 
News of Hugo Ekitike possibly signing too. Another future potential great player who will do well.

LFC have recognised even though the league was won, there is plenty of improvement to be made. With this squad , multiple winners of trophies over the last few years, this is a great chance to build a strong team which wins a few more big titles in the next few years.
