Just hate that the business is done so late.

We need at least 4-5 players. Leaving 1-2 late is ok. But the others will take weeks to fully integrate.

I don’t like it either, but it is what it is. We knew this season would be essentially a rebuild anyway.

The decision to see through the season with Slot is REALLY biting us in the arse, but let’s not pretend Barcola was going to come in and be our savior, even if he had a full preseason.

Too late for me. I would love to see Barcola wearing a Liverpool shirt. I think he would be a very good player under Iraola.

I feel you.

I think we have been very spoiled by Salah, Firmino, and Mane, when the truth is that we struck a generational gold vein in those three. Now that all have moved along, we are finding that the gold mining business is a lot more hit or miss than we remember.

I think you have to give a lot of credit to Klopp too. I think a big part of it is making sure the players fit together as well as what you are doing.


Mel ready had an interview with salah and he said he was told the players coming in last year would play to his strengths and then they brought people in he had to adapt to. That type of thing is not always easy in the transfer window but Klopp showed time and again he was excellent at it.

fricking Rodgers had Frimino playing as a winger... No clue how to use him... He wanted Benteke up top..

Lots of chuckle-fricking in our recent past when we haven’t had the one elite manager we had in Klopp.

That’s on both the player and manager sides.

Iraola doesn’t seem like the type to put up with BS for very long. He is direct and moves with purpose, as far as I can tell. He’s even verbally pressuring the club about the need for more transfers to the media already.

That was one endearing quality that Klopp brought, if you ask me.
