What's new

Liverpool FC 2025/26 Season

Konate clearly not in the right mindset , clearly contract issues have affected him. Hes a smart guy , he can win more with Liverpool and has to prove himself like Salah and VVD before they were extended with good pay. I’m sure if he stays he’ll vastly improve.

Wirtz showed magic at times but now realises what the premier league is . Some strength and conditioning training he’ll be incredible.

Ekitike was superb for his debut with a cool head , he’ll get plenty of chances in this team to score plenty .

Salah the king 👑 was very good , a little unsure of his new attacking teammates but was always in the game to change it . Opening day goal again , if this man gets close to last season Liverpool have a great opportunity to miss it 21.

We just have to get through and win by Xmas , this team will then be at it’s peak

Konate was Pathetic. Looked as if he's been watching Porn all weekend. Was on all 4's regularly.

Wirtz was ordinary bro. Agree, his lack of physicality drained his confidence. Needs to bulk up.
 
Getting a win whilst not being at your best is a good sign.

More worrying than Konate was Arne Slots changes at 59mins- Endo at RB was a disaster! Terrible subs.

Gravenberch as a shield and at base of midfield would make a huge difference, look at the 2nd goal, terrible positional play, no one sat, all charged forward- even Endo and Jones- both fullbacks pushed on, in that scenario, a quick break spells danger.

The first goal was just terrible RB play from a NON-RB without the proper cover in behind by the RCB or the CDM.

Wirtz showed glimpses, he will be just fine, laughable that some are questioning him, let's see come Christmas....

Priorities are still Guehi and another attacker (would prefer someone that can play all 3 positions and keep Chiesa or a striker and wide player).

Still 2 to 3 to round the squad. Tonight was a night where Jota was missed also.

Rodrygo would be fit.

I would rather him than Isak.

He can play all 3 attacking positions and be the long term Salah replacement on the right flank, about half the fee of Isak, combined with Chiesa would mean only Guehi is left.

I'm hoping Bajcetic gets some game time this season, he is a quality prospective.
 
topspin said:
Well at least Ekitke (captain) and Gakpo are in my fantasy league team.

Very impressed by both team this evening.

Liverpool need to turn their focus on signing Guehi because defensively they look a little supect. Having both Isak and Ekitke is overkill.
Click to expand...
Why is slot going for that overkill a year after winning the league?
They want the CL this year.

City needed Haaland to do it, Slot thinks he needs Isak.
 
First of many stinkers by Wirtz. The sickly-looking German is going to be the biggest flop signing of the season.
 
The signing of Isak will ruin the team balance even further. You can’t him have him, Ekitike, Wirtz and Salah in the same playing XI without impacting the team structure and cohesion.

Liverpool have overdone it, and they will pay for it (pun intended). The got a little too excited this summer.

Gravenberch is a big miss. When he's back whose getting benched

Szobo would be benched. For all the athleticism and running power he provides, a bit like Gerrard he lacks the positional discipline to play as a deep lying midfielder.

Last night and against Palace, he tried some risky passes that brought on opposition counterattacks - including one that led to Bournemouth's first goal.

Apparently Frimpong felt his hamstring at HT and with Bradley injured - Slot didn't want to take any risks.

However what didn't make sense was Endo playing RB instead of Gomez, and he had to fix that soon after.

We all like Endo's tenacity but I'm afraid he lacks the pace and physicality needed to play regular PL football. He simply isn't an adequate replacement for Gravenberch. You know Gravenberch would've been at least 10-15 yards deeper for that second goal - Endo trying to hare back after Semenyo was painful to watch, so we need to buy a #6 next summer.

I agree let's keep Chiesa, whatever his flaws we've had enough churn this summer. We sign Isak and that's five senior forwards plus Rio which is more than enough. We definitely need to sign Guehi as frankly Konate should be benched after that performance.

If Liverpool are sensible they will back out of signing Isak and shift their focus on signing Guehi and a LW (Rodrygo, Barcola or Malick Fofana).

It's either Writz or Szabo, both cannot play essentially the same role.

Slot ball quickly turned into Ange ball last night.

Konate was horrendous, he needs to be benched or sold preferably.

Wirtz can play off the left or as a false 9.

Szobo in the bundesliga played well at times from the right flank.

There is versatility there

Let's see how this ages..... 1 game....

Or if this is on par with your usual (lack of) footy knowledge.

Prefer to give someone at least 18 months before making a final judgement.

No they are essentially the same player, looking for those risky champagne passes and ended up giving away needless possession in very dangerous areas. They even got in each others way at times. Wirtz was running around everywhere to get on the ball and then playing very risky triangles, round the corner passes or through balls in the middle. Guardiola would have a fit with this much positional ill discipline. He needs to learn to be patient, doesn't have to do something great every time he is on the ball.

The fact that you call football “footy” shows your age. I bet I started watching football before you were even born.

I think this is where you being based abroad further highlights your ignorance

Up and down this country it's perfectly normal to refer to it as footy

I don’t care about teenagers or uneducated fans languishing in pubs.

No educated, mature or posh person will call football “footy”.

I don't frequent pubs

The term is used by those with and without an education, both young and old, those that are working class

Posh people maybe won't use the term but they make up a tiny percentage of those that watch footy

Hahaha ha. You have zero idea! As GA said, it's a term used from young'uns to OAP's in the UK and the 'football culture' in the UK- again, you have no clue, better upgrade your highlights package overseas.

It isn't the game that you just don't understand, your glaring shortcomings are more apparent each day!!

No idea! Lol
 
And for your reference, I was watching footy since the early 90s..probably before you even had a stable Internet connection and were reliant on international newspapers

First you exposed your age and now you are exposing your low IQ. No one uses Wikipedia as a reliable source of information.

I think I have forgotten more about football than you would ever learn. No more replies unless I see something intelligent. Don’t waste my time.

Hahaha haha

You've forgotten more than I know, sure sure son, not quite...

I repeat, you're from circa 2010 onwards, I'm circa 1992 onwards and the cruyff total football and (early) Milan era, youtube them to expand your repertoire.

I repeat: I know more about football than you can dream of, and everything that you mentioned here is on my fingertips already. I’m passionate about the things that I like, and I have studied football history and evolution very extensively, so please spare me the lectures.

For the record, I started watching football in 1998-1999 period. It’s a shame that even though you claim you started watching football in 1992, you fail to offer any real insight on this forum.
 
Back on topic — it’s pretty evident that Liverpool’s £100m German is going to get outperformed this season by a Cherki who cost City only around £35m.

IMO, he is one of the top three signings of the season in terms of value for money along with Gyokeres and Zubimendi. Wirtz is the complete opposite of value for money.

After one game you've jumped to a conclusion. Jeez. Wirtz is undoubtedly a quality performer. For some players, it can take time to adjust, or align in Chemistry with team mates. You do get over excited.

I know a flop when I see one.

This guy looks weak with zero athletic ability and no power in his shots. It’s like watching Ozil in an Arsenal shirt and he drove me crazy. I detested him.

I think Arsenal, Chelsea, City, United and also Real have dodged the bullet that has hit Liverpool right in the skull. He doesn’t have the chops.

Why will I disappear from 0 IQ football fans on this forum?

I back Arsenal to win the league whether Wirtz performs or not, but I don’t think he will. I think Liverpool have made a very costly error of judgement, and it’s not the first time they have done so.

To be honest, I do agree. You Gooners are the team to beat and will win the Title.

Over the last few years when you've failed. It's been a collective failure or meltdown, rather than pick out one or two to hang out to dry. I'd include Arteta in that as well
