I know asking to hear the audio is a little bit sour grapes and close to bullying the officials...but I really want to hear what they were all saying around the Gakpo- Areola thing late on. Cos it looks like the ref just waved play on and Gakpo was well entitled to slot it in the net, and then the ref basically calls on the physio and tells Areola to go down as if injured. Feels like he's dropped an absolute clanger there.

Let's hope so re Nunez. Got progressively worse as season has gone on where you would expect him to improve. Similarly as above Szoboszlai has been very poor as has Salah. Others for a small1 month spell very costly for Jurgen.The goals drying up has ultimately cost us our chance when sat alongside our fairly porous defense.
Anyway the reason I post for first time in a while is to pay tribute to the finest. Most fun, most passionate, successful manager I've enjoyed as an adult LFC fan. An absolute joy. A phenomenon.who I feel we may very much struggle to replace. Look at Utd, Arsenal for examples. Absolutely loved Klopp for the majority of his tenure. Wish him well in absolutely whatever he chose to do. My own small criticism would be his loyalty to players clearly not good enough at begining of his tenure, and possibly similar at end of his tenure, maybe dictated by Fsg not wanting to compete with City financially. Which somehow Klopp managed without similar funding. A bit frustrating to see them repeatedly sign the right player. The best player while Klopp tries to find another lower cost gem. There depth of squad is what has cost us a number of further trophies during Klopp tenure. With similar backing he could've doubled his haul imo.
The club seems to have there ducks in a row behind the scenes which is very very encouraging, some very impressive appointments and structures now in place. Can the new manager refresh and allow us to go again without a huge rebuilding phase?
Let's hope so. Farewell Jürgen. Get the statue built please......

Jurgen inherited a very poor Liverpool squad and transformed it into one of the best squads in the world Pep inherited Aquero , Silva , De Bruyne, Fernandinho and a PL winning squad Klopp inherited Mignolet, Sakho, Skrtel, Moreno
It took him from October 2015 to the 2018/19 season to transform the squad and it was only the sale of Coutinho and being able to reinvest in Van **** and Allison that took the squad to the next level
At the same time Cheaty were investing heavily in their squad and competing with that was an incredible achievement based on the lower budget he had
For me the fact that Liverpool were able to compete from 2018/19 at the top level and back in the Champions league was all that you can wish for as a supporter, His style of football was so entertaining and energetic and I have some fantastic memories
He and his family understood so well the citizens of Liverpool that even bitter Everton supporters admired him
He will be an extremely hard act to follow and we may need to be patient with the new manager and staff as i suspect there will be comings and goings but i remain optimistic that the younger players coming through are good enough
Agree about the statue

Cheers Vidou. Bit sad no posts on Klopp on here. Back in the day there would be dozens just arguing over a team selection or loss.
Thought Klopp carried himself magnificently yesterday. A legend of a man. Vvd Trent Salah needs addressed.

I'm generally quite a positive person. I don't get too down-hearted by bad results. Just tend to brush them off. I view footy as entertainment and have taught myself not to get too embroiled where a defeat will leave me devastated. And I'm genuinely looking forward to Slot coming. Change is exciting. It can be good. I'm a big fan of Edwards et al and I want to see it given full rein to have a go.
However, the last few days has just seen me wallowing in sadness.
I love that man.
He's just the utter personification of everything we could ever want a Liverpool manager to be. His passion, his ability, his whole worldview. We had great moments in the decades before he came. Sure we did. But I can't think of any period with as many great days and nights. And he built a team that can genuinely stand shoulder to shoulder with the best put together by Shankly, Paisley or King Kenny.
I'm too young to remember when Shankly left but it feels like that kind of moment. Hopefully the next guy is half as good as Sir Bob.

Farewell to JK it's been a brilliant rollercoaster with far more ups than downs. He's probably been one the greatest leaders and man-managers in the history of the game and I have to admit I'm devastated that he's going. Hope I'm wrong but I fear Slot will have the same problem that MU have had since AF moved on with all their subsequent managers finding the job too much, remember Moyes after about 3 months had aged by about 10 years. One big difference is that JK has left us with decent squad and plenty of young talent. Anyway welcome Arne and good luck

All them videos last few weeks reminiscing klopps time here were good and entertaining, but was a bit like after you’ve split up with the mrs, and you keep watching the wedding video over and over. Agree with above concerns , and we’ll just have to stay focused and hope it’s a smooth transition, Edwards is a good timed return for us, squads good and full of potential. A couple of good signings and who knows. We’ll miss Jurgen big time, and good luck to him.

Think it's worth recording the fact that Thiago has now retired from footy. Probably one of the most gifted players to wear the red shirt but clearly ruined by injuries. So sad really even if he has won so much and earned millions no doubt. Can only imagine he'd be in Slot's team with its emphasis on short passing and defence splitting balls.

Bit of a worry no signings. Even more of a worry it looks like Trent may stitch us up and walk for free to Real Madrid next summer.
Same Virgil looks like he will leave for free in a year.
Don't want to sign a contract, then sell them or leave them in the reserves. Bradley can be given the starting position.
Heard Kudus from West Ham is on the radar, think he is quality.

Seemed pretty good yesterday. Players look refreshed and re-energised. Big question over whether we get this Spanish midfielder. He seems torn and could well decide to stay. And watching Diaz yesterday (and in the summer) I'm again left wondering why we're so interested in Anthony Gordon.

Shame about the Spanish lad but doesn't feel overly surprising. He's obviously settled and maybe only wants to move if to one of the Spanish giants.
Lot of fans getting antsy at the lack of movement but I'm fairly comfortable. Slot made a comment about the standard being very high and so any new signing needs to be exceptional and I'm fully on board with that. If we're playing 2 deep midfielders, and therefore don't really need a specialist Fabinho type, then surely MacAllister, Jones, Bajcetic and Gravenberch is enough to cover that, and then try to lock down the guy we want rather than buy another Endo.
Main focus for me is tying down Trent, Mo and VVD to new deals. Far more important than bringing anyone else in right now.

its always good to freshen the squad up with a couple of new signings although I take the point about new talent coming through
I see Clarke has signed for Salzburg although I thought he was one we would keep with Thiago and Matip going there are a couple of spaces in the squad

i agree and a few freash faces to liven things up wd be good thing. defence was far too leaky lasy year.

Yeah, I'd say a young up and coming left back as well as a left sided centre back should be our main targets. Though neither need be £50m type first team players just yet, more that they are part of the squad and will need to force their way in.

First half was as I'd feared. We were about three weeks from being proper match-ready with some players not quite at it and the new tactic of passing it round in dangerous areas coming perilously close to pissballing about as my dad would call it.
Second half though like a completely different team. Using Salah and Diaz as third man runners, 3 great passers in midfield with Trent then better than any of them. A bit more composure in the box and we'd have had six.
Promising start.

Majority of the team have only been back a week. Cant go busting a gut early doors, or they'll be knackered by Christmas. 3 points is all that is required at the moment.

Rumours that Madrid are trying to do what they did with M'Bappé (shovel him the transfer fee instead of the club) to both Trent and Alfonso Davies. We'll find out soon enough.

Thought is was about time we resurrected the thread - plenty of positives just now, Grav, Szob, Mac, Lucho, the defence and we've even got Salah passing and scoring. There's a player in there with big Nunez and Gakpo unlucky Lucho is in such good form. Hope Chiesa isn't another in the Kewell/ Keita/Carroll/Aquilani mould. But main point is AS, really pleased on how its gone so far, apart from the obvious blip we've been pretty impressive and so has AS in all his interviews and his tweaks of the system were just what we needed. Looking forward to a season of consolidation and anything else will be a very welcome bonus.

We're brilliantly boring right now. Just really efficient and getting the job done with no dramas. Centre backs are the best around, midfield is purring with Grav the missing link and the attackers are all chipping in with goals and assists.
Long may it continue.

Sir Alex Ferguson, who knows a thing or two about winning the Premier League, once said that "attack wins you games, defence wins you titles".
He may have managed Liverpool's greatest rival of the time Manchester United, but those are words that will feel encouraging to Reds fans right now.
Their side has effortlessly transitioned from the post-Jurgen Klopp era into Arne Slot's reign and go into the international break top of the Premier League, with their fantastic start to the season having been built on the back of a near watertight defence.
Following Saturday's 1-0 win at Crystal Palace, they have conceded the fewest goals after seven games with just two and have kept five clean sheets.
While there is a long way to go, they are right where they want to be in the title fight.
"We keep going and we keep working," Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said.
"We are never satisfied. Everyone is contributing to clean sheets."

Not playing that great and winning is a good sign, wolves game a bit nervy when we kept giving the ball away, and Bologna had us on the ropes for 20 odd minutes, shows there’s plenty of room for further improvement, even though we seemed to sort it it 2nd half. So far, so good. Tougher period of matches coming up now though for the red men

Gone a bit under the radar but we went favourites for the league last night. City are really missing Rodri. They'll probably just go out and buy that Bilbao lad in January but if we keep this form up there's a chance of building a gap between now and then.

Another top weekend for us, something going on at city behind the scenes. They’ve lost Rodri, but they’ve always coped with injuries. The players know something we don’t, maybe it’s leaked that peps off his pop.

I'd rather us not all be Arsenal fans about this Coote thing.
I imagine most refs hate most managers given the grief they're constantly getting. He was silly but that's enough surely.

Alright loui and Lat. Good to see you lads are still well! I've been in Columbia with Lucho sourcing David Coote's gear
Get what you are saying PoP, but there have just been so many with this fella. You tell yourself there cant be a conspiracy, but he was always the one you couldn't shake off wasnt he..

I always thought cos klopp was at the 4 th official so much, the refs association decided to give him a hard time. Everton’s non penalty v city and Diaz goal wiped out as good examples

With Jurgen no longer our manager suppose he can say what he likes now, maybe this is what he means when he said he’ll never manage a premiership team again.
