Rio deserves a song.
His name is Rio,
and he's got Anfield in his hands,
His name is Rio,
and he only earns twenty-five grand.
21 Oct 2026 01:29:11
Or,
His name is Rio
And he dances down the wing
He shoots, he scores
And he makes us Koppites sing
20 Oct 2026 20:47:17
Sign Ronnie up! Rio is fantastic.
20 Oct 2026 20:57:54
This is why we need to keep Rio at all costs.
20 Oct 2026 22:00:26
We need a midfield revamp.
20 Oct 2026 20:31:27
Tsimikas is so bad, having a decent delivery does not outweigh how bad he is elsewhere.
20 Oct 2026 21:59:33
The Greek Scouser! Of course he's smiling. He's stealing a living mate.
21 Oct 2026 00:06:19
Loving it, another win signalling the end for Tsimi, VVD (on the transfer board) and the entire midfield.
Played 11, won 7, drawn 3 and lost 1. A new head coach turning the club around and still without Bradley, Leoni, Ekitike (and today Dom.) We are improving, we are nowhere near the finished article but 12 goals in the last three games would suggest that one or two of them are doing something rupight and some of the others are starting to join in. Why not, for once, highlight the positive stuff that we can build on - Nyoni, Ngumoha and the first signs of the real Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola showing up, rather than searching out some of the stock phrases to wrote players off.
I can't see the point in watching if it isn't fun and all people look for are faults and wheeling out destructive criticism game after game.
21 Oct 2026 00:52:49
Agree WDW.
Starting Nyoni, Rio and Koumas in a Champions League game and keeping them on the pitch until we fought back from a 2 goal deficit to 2 goals ahead showed absolute confidence from Andoni. It will have done them the world of good to be part of that comeback and proved they are as much as an option for the starting eleven as anyone else.
There were hiccups initially as we made 6 changes from Brentford but that was mostly due to established players like VVD and Tsimikas making poor decisions than anything.
Enjoyable game, great result and a superb showing by the younger guys. What's there to complain about?
21 Oct 2026 06:59:56
Go back a couple of seasons, take all the posts regarding TAA, swap TAA with Tsimi, and back to that whole situation again.
Great deliveries but can't defend.
Its the same BS all the time.
Just have to accept that we'll never be happy with what we have. until its gone.
20 Oct 2026 19:14:39
Would have liked to have seen Wirtz start tonight just to see if he can continue his slight upturn & form & confidence?
Either way I fancy us for a 3-1 win.
20 Oct 2026 19:37:52
Good to see Nyoni, Ngumoha and Koumas all getting a start.
20 Oct 2026 19:39:55
Forgot to add Danns on the bench too. Be interesting to see if he get# on for the last 10 - 15 minutes.
20 Oct 2026 21:01:26
Would love to see Danns get some minutes. Unlike Koumas he"s got talent.
20 Oct 2026 23:13:46
BR I thought Wirtz changed the game. brilliant 45 from him, dictated the tempo, found pockets and linked the whole thing together. Rio was excellent but for me that was what we need consistently from Florian.
{Ed666's Note - agreed on all points
20 Oct 2026 14:38:45
On the subject of new tunes. Got one for Isak - to the tune of Peggy Gou - it goes like (nanana)
I can't explain, I got a feeling that he's going to score again
He told the geordies that he's going to go on strike
Cos he wants to be Liverpool's number 9
I guess it goes, like na-na-na
And his name is Isak, it's Alex Isak
Na-na-na-Isak, Na-na-na-Isak
Na-na-na-Isak, Na-na-na-Isak.
20 Oct 2026 16:15:11
Jesus, o hope that isn't the best you can do 😅.
20 Oct 2026 16:57:48
Rather we sung que sera sera and waved him off.
20 Oct 2026 18:05:56
I was thinking the same thing about you.
20 Oct 2026 18:44:28
Don't have to sing to me mate a little wave will do.
20 Oct 2026 08:28:56
Hi all
With Florian starting to hit some form what are your thoughts about a song for him? Well known that the singing from the stands gives the lads a little extra. Last couple of games he has been great and I hope he continues to improve, song for me would be:
Florian Wirtz is on fire!
Your defence is terrified!
Florian Wirtz is on fire!
Na na na na na na na na!
I have doubted him in the past but really hope he makes it with us, fantastic little player.
20 Oct 2026 09:16:27
Which form is it he is hitting.
A decent performance against LASK?
20 Oct 2026 09:47:57
You missed the Brentford game? He was decent there too and even had an assist, I know shocker 😅.
20 Oct 2026 09:50:15
Exactly shughes55.
20 Oct 2026 10:17:01
I won't quit my day job but here's my effort.
To Around The World by ATC:
"He comes from Germany,
he joined The Reds and said **** off to Man City,
Told Bayern Munich that you're not the team for me,
The only club I want to join is LFC,
Oh Flo you make me go na na na na na"
Ta.
20 Oct 2026 10:17:18
Let's not get carried away now lol. I wouldn't say he's found his form at all. I like the optimism though.
20 Oct 2026 10:58:19
No shock to me, couple of weeks with Jurgan and he's already slightly improved.
20 Oct 2026 11:27:42
I actually like that tune any way Carra. I think a guy used that some tune to do a song for Isak too but not heard it sung at the ground yet.
Banger either way!
20 Oct 2026 11:28:52
Love it Carra.
20 Oct 2026 13:16:56
And why does he need to hit form to get a song? This part of fan support, I don't get. 🤔.
20 Oct 2026 13:30:18
If you don't wait until they hit form you could end up with a great song that can't be sung. The Chiesa song is a great recent example.
20 Oct 2026 13:33:00
How did songs even come about prior to this site and the absolute gold its members produce?!
The 0.0001% gang have hubris enough for the whole club.
20 Oct 2026 14:26:32
The pubs and terraces, WtGS.
20 Oct 2026 14:39:50
Agreed, RedHorizon. I think Flo hit rock bottom vs City because it was that bad.
Now, he is slowly improving so let's take it one game at a time and hopefully he keeps improving.
He is by no means out of the woods yet. Not even close, imo and I love the guy to bits.
20 Oct 2026 16:33:50
Doesn't need to hit form to get a song, if he did he could wait for ever. Chiesa's had one for ages. I'll say no more. Barcola had one straight away. Folk don't like to hear it, but up till now, Wirtz hasn't won over the support.
20 Oct 2026 17:02:42
You hit the nail on the head, Rome. People don't seem to like him for some reason. Maybe because he's reserved and not overly expressive with his mannerisms?
20 Oct 2026 17:02:50
Ive made up my own song to the tune of Orinoco flow by Enya and will be singing it to him from my sofa tonight. 🤣
He can pass, he can score he can do it F'ing all.
He can pass, he can score and his name is super Flo.
Florian, Florian, Florian.
Florian, Florian, Florian.
Florian, Florian, Florian.
And repeat.
{Ed025's Note - i thought that first line said "he cant do F*** all" RW, which to be honest would be more apt.. :)
20 Oct 2026 17:16:13
While i'm feeling creative..
Dom would run 500 miles and Dom would run 500 more.
Just to be the man who ran 1000 miles to score for Liverpool

20 Oct 2026 17:27:16
For the record, have any suggestions created on here actually made it to the terraces?
If not, please leave it to the plethora of guitarists we have in the pubs of Liverpool to keep us entertained.
20 Oct 2026 18:17:43
Certainly not to my knowledge, Avitohyes.
20 Oct 2026 19:02:07
I liked RED-will-is1. Only because I recognised it lol.
I made one up for Ryan Giggs once, to the mancs tune.
Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs running down the wing,
Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs what a f'in minge,
He shagged his brothers bird, what a f'in turf, Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs.
I had another verse but it's far too rude.
I'm taking requests. I've got a Paul scores one?
21 Oct 2026 08:15:18
Chrisy please do one for T-rex arms.
21 Oct 2026 09:49:54
Loved the Szoboszlai one Red-willis 🔥🔥🔥.
20 Oct 2026 08:02:13
I know highly unlikely, but does anyone think that vvd has a battle to keep his place when Bradley (who frees up Araujo) and Leoni are back?
20 Oct 2026 08:09:42
JB12, no.
20 Oct 2026 08:16:07
Not this season but maybe next. I doubt we will see much of those two this season and no point rushing them back.
And might work out to be good timing for all, with Virgil into his last year of his contract and 36. So he might be getting less playing time but still there to help the youngest come along.
20 Oct 2026 08:21:15
No. Walks into the team.
20 Oct 2026 08:25:18
Ai decided to continue with Vvd as club and match day captain. He will continue to be one of the first names on the team sheet this season in my opinion as line ups to date confirm.
Sadly Looking how long and serious the injuries were I think Bradley and Leoni are the ones who face a battle this season to get a place.
20 Oct 2026 09:42:29
Not a chance in hell. Also, a big reason both Araujo and Jacquet are playing so well is because of VVD's presence and calmness that is felt throughout the whole backline. Ali, as well is such a calming influence.
Again, not a chance in hell.
20 Oct 2026 09:56:05
Maybe VVD is playing so much better than last season because of Jacquet and Araujo beside him?
20 Oct 2026 09:11:55
Not convinced araujo will sign or be signed as yet, as much as I'd like it to happen. Ed001 do we hold the reins on this with the proposed fee or can he head home again if he feels he's resurrected his career enough to get a game at Barca?
{Ed001's Note - it is not about getting a game there, he was unhappy and needed a fresh start. He is currently keen on a permanent move from what he says himself. Though obviously, it is hard to know if he is just telling people the right things while instructing his agent to look for a return.}
20 Oct 2026 10:22:31
I hope we keep Araujo, one of those players you can't help but love.
He is honestly, the only loan signing for Liverpool in my lifetime that has actually turned out well (so far.)
20 Oct 2026 11:40:37
VvD isn't back to his stellar previous one man defence best. But he has found form again this year. much more what I expect from him. i thought he may be on his way out but the man still got it IMO and if he has a good game playing 8 or 9 out of 10 still the best CB in the league. if he plays 6 or 7 he still walks into everyone else team bar Arsenal's.
And the semenyo race proves he can still mix it with the speedsters. although I don't think he would want too many of those in a game!
And on that note I can see all our players starting to claw back fitness and the ability to run and pass it forward. even Alison looks like he is no longer scared to move out his box. give it a couple more months and I'm confident we will be scoring goals at a healthy rate again.
20 Oct 2026 13:22:51
For me, Araujo is the next natural leader if VVD decides to leave. Having said that, I think VVD is good for another 2 years, possibly more, and would love it if he stayed. Experience (which is mostly mental) can't always replace physical ability, which the younger ones have plenty of.
20 Oct 2026 15:11:31
Mcgoveb, that too.
20 Oct 2026 17:05:56
Sorry. I wrote the opposite of what I meant. Experience (which is mostly mental) can't always be replaced by physical ability, which the younger ones have plenty of.
21 Oct 2026 08:18:04
Thanks all, pretty strong and universal support for our captain even at his age! Good to see.
20 Oct 2026 07:39:02
{Ed's Note - Big C has posted a new article entitled, Everton Need Stability Under Moyes
20 Oct 2026 01:14:25
Ed025
I see you are already a big admirer of JJ
I think he has been our best signing so far, although I see Barcola getting better with time, smooth, great at reading the game, great tackler.
What you think? Already better than Branthwaite and Tarkowski 🤣.
{Ed025's Note - i think JJ a very good player Hughesy, was very disappointed with the cheating against Brentford though i must admit, he has a long way to go to be better than Jarrad and Tarks though mate even though Jarrads injury record is a big worry for me, im reserving judgement on Barcola..
20 Oct 2026 09:43:07
Flo, I thought he was going to mention David Unsworth for a second there.
20 Oct 2026 10:58:59
One's injury prone and the other one's a plodder. my grandma is faster than 'Tarks' and she died in the mid-1970's.
20 Oct 2026 06:33:52
Cheating, Ed? How does being essentially headbutted constitute cheating? I understand that what happened to Jacquet is very different to a headbutt assault that might occur outside a pub, but Brentford probably thought "let's rile this naive kid up and see his reaction", only to find their silly player fell victim to their own trick.
Violent conduct, or even behaviour threatening/simulating it, is a red card offence, period.
{Ed025's Note - come on Lowe he hardly touched him mate, they were both at it but only one of them rolled on the floor and stayed down as if they had been hit by a truck...so yes he cheated, he is hardly a kid either he is a 6ft 2in bundle of muscle so dont start with all that pony, you might think thats fine for a player to get another professional sent off for something so trivial...but i dont..
20 Oct 2026 11:35:45
He hardly touched him hasn't been a defence since the 90's. One hit the other with his head, and there's a history of it not being punished if JJ doesn't go down. It sucks that it's the right thing to do in that situation, but it's on the refs and the rules for making it that way.
{Ed025's Note - so you admit that he cheated then Alvy?..
20 Oct 2026 13:42:54
JJ got a 2 hand shove to the chest and then squared up with a smile on his face as if to say what are you doing. The Brentford player then tried a sneaky side swipe with his head whilst keeping his eyes locked on the ref in an attempt to feign a non violent action.
He knew what he was doing and fully deserved the red.
They started the housery and then took it too far and got punished for it. That's the way I see it anyway.
20 Oct 2026 18:50:31
The big issue is that players need to feign injury or being hurt in order for the refs to actually make a decision and follow the rules, honesty is not rewarded whatsoever. Look at Haaland last season, blatantly butted by Gabriel but didn't make anything of it and red does nothing, similar with penalty decisions where a player is clearly fouled and impeded but gets a shot away and refs happy to play on however if they throw themselves on the ground for minimal contact it's a pen! In my mind we need to punish diving, simulation and play acting while also awarding pens and sending offs etc when they are merited even if the player doesn't make a meal of it.
20 Oct 2026 19:14:02
Big Bob Latchford wouldn't have fell over eh Ed?
Ever remember big Dunc when he played for Ragers? Now that was a head but! If memory serves he got sent to jail for it?
{Ed025's Note - Big bob would have headbutted JJ into the stands if he started all that lark Chrisy, and if he was confronted by Big Dunc he would have shat his kecks mate.. :)
