Thank you to everyone for the texts checking up on us, the cards and flowers and the outpouring of support we've received. This is by far the worst pain we have ever felt and the only consolation is that Blake is at peace now.
As some of you are aware, the last 3 weeks have been the worst of our lives and I apologise I've not got back to you all to thank you for checking in on us but here is why.
Thuram = unproven in the PL
Macallister = outstanding
Fabinho = exhausted
Jones = wildly inconsistent
Thiago = world class but injury prone
Hendo = shite
Bajetic = too young to rely in, not physically ready
Elliott = not a midfielder
It's not just about numbers.
The idea Liverpool need 3 new mids on top of what we have is insane. The best 3 teams in the world rotate 4 lads and have a 5th doing not much.
If we sign Thuram, we have Thuram, Macallister, Fabinho, Jones, Thiago, Hendo, Bajetic & Elliott.
It would be ridiculous to sign more

I don't think either of the other two will really care *that* much tbh.
@ybees3
No idea why he's being held up as some sort of genius - the only reason to do this is because he knew at some point there'd be a divorce and a chance he'd lose half his assets. Why bother getting married in the first place?
@MirrorFootball
£90M on Pogba
£80M on Maguire
£75M on Lukaku
£67M on Di Maria
£53M on Fred
£50M on Martial
£50M on Wan-Bissaka
Think we'll ignore what United say tbh. 😂
@IbkSports
What absolute bollocks, you shameless little weirdo. He has been adored since his first game, his name sung every single game since and HE asked the club to not celebrate his AFCON win out of respect for his friend and teammate.
Grow up. 🖕

Personally I do still hold a "peace on both sides" stance but with a big caveat - peace cannot possibly exist until "Israel" acknowledges it's illegal occupation, withdraws and it's government is made to pay for countless war crimes. It all starts with them.
He's not worth £20M by any metric:
33.
Legs gone.
Neither defensively or offensively good.
Couldn't direct traffic.
Take £10M to get his £140K off the books.
@markgoldbridge
You've spent £1.4bn since 2005 and have the highest wage bill. Spending hasn't been the problem, it's that it's being wasted on dross or declining players... like spending £60M on Casemiro and paying him £350K a week.
Nobody is to blame for

Take your pick from those.
@wrestlelamia
In time that would be great but why not first build a relationship with TNA, have some crossovers and swap talent. The reception she got was great and her performance in the Rumble was brilliant. Her against Bianca or Jade has unbelievable potential.
@CityReportPodOK
Last summer, just have a look seeing as you obviously did zero research before mouthing off and trying to be a smartarse.
You see clubs who aren't bankrolled by countries have to sell players to recoup money and also report correct figures rather than cooking the books. 🙄
Thiago is injury prone.
Henderson is Henderson.
Bajcetic is 18.
Elliott is 20. And a winger.
Jones is 22 and wildly inconsistent.
People need to stop focussing on the number of midfielders and look at the quality.
@wrestlelamia
To be fair you imagine a lot of this was post-pandemic people still being a bit unsure about going to mass gatherings like this but it's still great to see.
I've been an
#LFC
fan all my life, been going to the match for 35 years and I want to see the team I love win trophies. At the end of the day that's what matters - winning.
As it stands we've won 2 major trophies seasons under Klopp and that simply isn't good enough.
@jckkkmorv
Especially when Ronaldo (A) admitted it (B) avoided the US for fear of being arrested and (C) has his legal team trying to make sure all the court documents stay secret.
All the actions of an innocent man.
If I was a cynical person (and I definitely am) I'd say Henderson's recent "look how fit I am!!" posts are a PR move to look relevant with Liverpool having signed two players who immediately knock his arse to the bench.
Wasted a year of Salah, Alisson, Thiago and now subjected to a second rate European competition because our staff waited until about ⅔ of the way through the season to make a change which was glaringly obvious for the world to see. Laughing stock.
@MarkyMBryans
So he's a moaner who needs to get on with it, right? That's what Klopp was always told.
(Fact is he's right, scheduling is an absolute joke and it's no wonder there's so many muscle injuries this season...)
@Watch_LFC
Klopp's XI in his first Liverpool game versus Guardiola's in his first City game.
Gtfo if you think Klopp inherited a better squad, he's had to gut an entire squad and hope that every signing is perfect because we can't just sign another £50M fullback when one is shit.
@NotoriousJOS
@AndyTheRed83
Never seen a single person say this. What many are annoyed by is our sell to buy, net spend focussed business model which is dependent on Klopp working miracles and milking every drop of potential from each player.
This was a turning point in Klopp's time at
#LFC
1. Renew Gini's contract
2. Let him go but sign a replacement
3. Let him go and do nothing
Boy did we fuck that one up.
Klopp: "About four performances were okay. The two midfielders, Hendo and Fab, worked a lot to try to close gaps. Cody, especially in possession, and Ali of course. That is very difficult if you want to get something from here."
@TheAnfieldTalk
This isn't even controversial but so many people seem to deny it: if we'd properly replaced Wijnaldum in summer 2021 we'd have won the quadruple in 2022.
"But those midfielders barely played so we don't need to replace them."
They barely played meaning those who DID play were overplayed and got knackered. That's why we lost the quadruple and that's why we were so dogshit last season.

@foot
I had to read this a few times to make sure I understood it 🤔 Rooney has done plenty of questionable and stupid things in his life but he's given absolutely everything to Derby to help them out and now he's paying people with his own money and being investigated for it?
Put peak Henderson in the 2005
#LFC
squad and we'd have lost the CL final.
Put peak Gerrard in this Klopp team and we'd have three league titles, at least two European Cups and a bunch of domestic cups.
The two are not comparable. At all. Ever.
@StoolFootball
Absolutely nothing weird whatsoever about what he's said, he's being honest and realistic. Talk about trying to whip up a story over nothing. 🙄
@EPLIndex
@JCuzzy1
This sums it up pretty well.
One central midfielder to replace Gini last season and we'd have one more PL for a start. Football is all about fine margins now and we're too safe.
