Reports that CR7 may take the reins from Ole?
1.) 16 Nov 2021 08:49:37
After last night it looks like he'll be taking them from the Portuguese national team manager as well.

Good luck to ETH! can't say I want you to be too successful though but you fans deserve to be entertained and the league will be a better place with a bit more competition.

Read some posts on here recently saying Henderson should get the gloves ahead of DDG but having watched many of your games this season you would be in a far worse position without him.

We’d be ****ed without De Gea.
2.) 19 Jan 2022 23:39:52
Henderson is at a point where he needs to be playing weekly. He has 4 years on his contract perhaps a long term 18 month loan deal can be agreed somewhere.
Then the club have time while the player develops and his wages are off the books while hopefully his asset value increases.
Ddg has been great again this season so his chances have been limited.
But ddg has gaps on his skill set that a new coach may deem him unwanted despite his shot stopping.
Is Henderson the answer in that regard? I'm not so sure.
Dave at his best is hard to beat imo but with him in goal it does make playing a high line more difficult.
Pep would never have ddg at city or klopp at Liverpool but conte or tuchel would love him for example.

Nobody can get close to De Gea's shot stopping.
He has easily been United's player of the year.
4.) 20 Jan 2022 06:52:33
Agreed Ken, 18 month deal would keep us in control just in case!
07 Jan 2022 19:27:32
Did any of you guys hear Roy Hodgson on Sky Transfer Talk tonight?
Made some great points regarding your issues.
1.) 07 Jan 2022 21:16:04
Im sure he did, like the ideas he used to have about your issues, how did that go?
2.) 07 Jan 2022 21:24:46
Touche Dbrooks :)
3.) 07 Jan 2022 21:35:47
Maybe just have a listen and make your own mind up Dbrooks :)
4.) 08 Jan 2022 16:33:38
Not defensive there dbrooks90, lad was only pointing out an interview.
03 Jan 2022 20:53:12
It was all Ole's fault and they clapped him off last game. Sadly its an accumulation of very money minded players too big for their boots (mercenaries)
1.) 03 Jan 2022 21:00:03
Not often I agree with a Liverpool fan but you’re spot on. Think the myth of us having a good squad has now been debunked. Maybe the names on paper look good but they are all massively underperforming, don’t compliment each other and they don’t fit a style of play. Too many signings based on name and shirt sales rather than building a squad. Problem will be getting rid and building the right group to go forward. Give this lot to ten Haag and we will be having the same problems.
2.) 03 Jan 2022 21:05:21
It needs a mass clear out but will never happen. Too many wannabe’s on ridiculous wages. Thanks Wooden Top. The first to be gone would be Rashford so overrated it’s laughable
At least we’d get some decent money for him because there’d be some mug who’d pay it.
3.) 03 Jan 2022 21:48:50
We might actually fall lucky in the summer, more by accident than design . Martial, Cavani, Pogba, Lingard, Mata, will go .
VDB, Matic, Jones probably joining them. Hell of a lot of salaries saved there and space freed up.
One of Bailly/ Lindelof and Henderson and maybe Telles could be leaving.
Few decent kids coming through as well. Not finishing top 4 could have an effect on who comes in of course.
Dont know what's gone on at Everton but i'm a fan of the full back Digne - he will soon get snapped up somewhere.
4.) 03 Jan 2022 21:55:06
A collection of player not a team. Have to say that Phil jones had a decent game that was the only positive.
5.) 03 Jan 2022 23:14:58
It is more than evident now that no manager could turn this collection of players into a proper footballing team. We are severely lacking in many areas. Our central midfield is devoid of creativity, our full backs are inadequate and our wide players appear to be afraid to go at the opposition. I feel sorry for Rangnick. He clearly thought he had inherited a team which just needed tweaking. It certainly needs more than a tweak.
6.) 03 Jan 2022 23:33:33
I disagree Jodler. We had found a platform. We had our limitations, we played crap for large periods the last 2 years but one thing was for sure: When we had to attack we overturned matches for fan. It was clearly that this team was better at the front foot and someone (coach) hold them back. I said at the time that we will see the intentions of Ole (and if he wants to be proactive) if he makes a number 6 absolutely necessary-that would give us the platform to play on the front foot.
Instead we buyed two more attackers to "win us matches" and instead of improving we regressed. We now are the Ronaldo show, Bruno can't play as talisman because his role of finding space next to attacker is Ronaldos role lately, we have not 3 quick players behind the striker interchanging and we no pace. Then we have an average (at least for now) player in Sancho who must play to find his feet. A front six of Nevez Scott Bruno Greenwood Kavani Rashford would be a far better team with far better balance and a lot cheaper.

I think it's becoming clear just what sort of limitations Ole was working with in terms of the squad he had.
On paper it looks good, but on the pitch they just can't hack it.
Too many players with poor attitudes and weak mentalities.
It means if they aren't "up for it" then they can't perform.
Being an elite athlete isn't about just training your body and turning up. It's about training your mind and developing good habits. It's about being able to make yourself "up for it" regardless of other factors.
You and your Mrs have an argument fine, but you don't bring that to training and you don't carry it on to the pitch.
You learn to put that aside and focus on your game.
8.) 04 Jan 2022 10:30:48
Rashford seems more worried his looks these days with his silly new blond haircut and new body art (tattoos)
He's been absolutely crap for about 18 months now and his body language whilst playing on the football pitch is shocking.
I don't know where Ralph goes from here, there are so many players at that club just are just taking the p*ss if frightening.
If i was a top flight manager i wouldn't go near the place, it's toxic from top to bottom.
9.) 04 Jan 2022 11:27:52
sim players can have lives outside of football, the hair cuts ect don't bother me they have a life.
what does bother me is the lack of work on the pitch, the lack of effort, the body language of not being bothered, which then makes people question there outside football life.
rr isn't daft we have already seen players dropped, he knows we need players but players need to also leave.
10.) 04 Jan 2022 12:08:07
Hate to say it but Ronaldo has completely changed the dynamic of the team, whether it be everyone in awe of him to the detriment of the team, others feeling less confident or marginalised, copying his focus on the individual and not the team, etc, etc,
Ragnick must be brave and use him as an impact sub, as well as Cavani as a sub, focus on youngsters such as Greenwood and Elanga and ruthlessly prune the bloated squad asap.
23 Nov 2021 19:45:36
Not best performance, De Gea made some great saves but bet that felt good guys?
{Ed014's Note - I loved it mate!
1.) 23 Nov 2021 20:03:12
Decent result we are through, no one has beaten them at home outsode of spain for years, sancho scored. that's about it for positives.
2.) 23 Nov 2021 20:44:40
Had control of the game from about 15 mins onwards. We had a little more intensity, better passing and bit more structure. Nice to see Telles and DVB start, Sancho did well, got a goal and I thought Fred played well too. Maguire always looks like he has a mistake in him and A few hospital passes.
3.) 23 Nov 2021 22:30:55
Solid, professional, and a win. Something we have not seen in ages. Was good to see. Enjoyed it.
4.) 23 Nov 2021 20:40:49
Ed,
You’re confusing, I know you’re gutted Ole has left but as they say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
Decent last 30 minutes, Carrick got the subs right, obviously he’s not going to be the manager but good that he’s got something out of them that quickly.
{Ed014's Note - and you’d 100% know all about sarcasm and yes well done Carrick although in reality it just shows how weak he was as one of Ole’s “world class coaches” as he described them.
You’ve been decent under Ole too but that’s about it, decent.
19 Feb 2022 00:20:23
You already have the Fifa team Ports but unfortunately the guys in charge weren't told about the importance of fifa chemistry :)
21 Nov 2021 11:27:43
After some of the performances of late those players need to take a long hard look at themselves. Maquire and Fernandes were unbelievably poor yesterday and no matter how bad the tactics/ instructions are its no excuse. i'd be worried as a fan when so many internationals can be made to look like clowns by such a poor side.
Happy that you all have your wish and Ole has gone. Will be interesting to see what the club decide as a solution moving forward. I know many of you don't have much faith in the guys upstairs and that's concerning. Carricks bemused face on the bench yesterday was a picture and I don't see him inspiring much of a change but Fletcher at least had a bit about him when he played and might get some fight into the players.
Surely thing can only get better.
29 Oct 2021 11:16:44
Gordon Ramsay Ed?
09 Dec 2023 21:23:30
Manager of the month?
19 Sep 2023 16:42:39
You have a very kind list of fixtures coming up after the Bayern game with the majority at home. That could give you some confidence and momentum if you get the right results.
09 Apr 2022 19:44:01
As a Liverpool fan I appreciate the rivalry and banter between our clubs/ fans but find it hard to understand how players wearing your shirt can turn up week after week collecting their wage and turn in performances like that!
No fan of any club should be expected to pay good money for that in return.
16 Jan 2022 18:48:40
6th? Are you for real?
{Ed014's Note - what you thinking Jonesy, 8th?
16 Jan 2022 18:35:29
Did you not watch the Chelsea game Derby?
