Liverpool banter 6

19 Apr 2026 16:14:52
Salah …… and Vvd again doing the business for LFC.


Damn the changes are really gonna hurt next couple of seasons.

19 Apr 2026 16:31:35
But they're both bad, old, past it and overpaid players, and we should be glad to have them off the books?

19 Apr 2026 17:01:33
And yet without them we lose today.

19 Apr 2026 19:33:13
But they've been the problem all season and Slot is great.

19 Apr 2026 16:14:01
If we win all our games and Arsenal and City lose all theirs we could win the title.

Let's gooooooooo!!!

19 Apr 2026 16:44:20
We're gonna win the league!

19 Apr 2026 16:56:25
Who do I cheer on now then, am confused lol. 🤣

19 Apr 2026 17:14:52
I think we will win all our games.

We won't win the league, though, of that I'm certain.

19 Apr 2026 17:21:58
Business end of the season now. All about results. We got the 3 points, so it's a massive result.

Plastic fans who didn't have time to watch us get smashed in a quarter final against City will be all over that result today.

19 Apr 2026 18:09:38
Those who can't be bothered to even watch us from their sofa, JK, are every bit as much of a fan as those that go home and away. You're offending people with your post, mate.

19 Apr 2026 18:18:04
JK, there are some so-called fans who always talk us down and predict defeats too...

19 Apr 2026 19:35:01
Predicting defeat is not talking us down. It's based on the fact we've lost 17 games this season, been woeful in 99% of the games, and have a manager who is inept. Saying we're going to win as some form of rousing fan power or superior morals makes you look ridiculous.

19 Apr 2026 19:39:27
I didn't have time to watch us today because I decided spending time with my children was more appropriate than being bored for 90 minutes.

If that makes me plastic, then I guess I'll be chatting up Barbie later.

19 Apr 2026 23:06:18
So, if Liverpool were playing attractive football, that would have come first over family time.

19 Apr 2026 16:09:32
Never in doubt! 😅

19 Apr 2026 16:25:24
Love it.

19 Apr 2026 16:29:59
Was totally in shock, and smash and grab totally. Delighted, but this team we have has huge problems.

19 Apr 2026 16:08:16
Looks like the shopping trip to London paid off lol.

19 Apr 2026 15:40:03
All the talk of Newcastle selling a few players in the summer, are or have we ever shown interest in Livramento seeing as not willing to sign a new contract? Good full back cover.

19 Apr 2026 16:04:38
Full back cover? He'd be our best fullback if he joined.

19 Apr 2026 16:10:50
He can join Bradley in the treatment room and keep him company.

19 Apr 2026 16:14:49
More injury prone than Gomez.

19 Apr 2026 16:16:50
Maybe a massive Liverpool tax put on any sales to us from Newcastle after last summer.

19 Apr 2026 16:18:14
I like Livramento, however, he is also severely injury-prone.

19 Apr 2026 23:30:06
I think he's very good, but he gets injured as much as Bradly, so not for me.

We need someone robust like Kerkez who barely ever gets injured.

19 Apr 2026 12:28:56
When the manager has lost interest then It's hard for the players to be bothered as well. Any other manager you'd expect the players to be up for a Merseyside Derby but unfortunately it's Slot. 1 - 1 draw is my prediction.

19 Apr 2026 12:50:44
Just seen the team. 3-0 Everton.

19 Apr 2026 13:10:31
Playing Isak in a Merseyside derby, well, he's getting injured then.

19 Apr 2026 13:13:58
I've got a feeling you will not be far out there, Kim.

19 Apr 2026 13:22:31
I just don't get it, KBL. You have an exciting young talent who will frighten the defence to death sat on the bench all to play out of form players and one who is at best 30 % match fit, it's insane in a Derby game. Gakpo will cut inside and lose it constantly, Mo will miss control it and shoot 10 yards over, constantly and Isak will trot around slowly for the 45 mins he can play.

It's such a poor, weak, unfit, low confidence team. Slot has no clue.

19 Apr 2026 13:41:57
Rio will come on for Isak later on. Isak still needs fitness, so Rio will come on and Gakpo will go up top. Not saying I agree with it, but it's sensible.

19 Apr 2026 13:45:39
I have a feeling you aren't going to be far out, Kim.

19 Apr 2026 13:49:14
I'm shocked Isak is starting, recipe for disaster that.

19 Apr 2026 13:52:08
Unfortunately, I have to agree with Kim.

19 Apr 2026 14:32:50
I'll be very happy to be proven wrong though.

19 Apr 2026 16:12:00
Well, these posts aged well. 😂

19 Apr 2026 16:21:53
Realistically, we probably didn't deserve more than a point. Another poor performance.
But, as it's Everton, I'll take it.

19 Apr 2026 16:26:11
Comedy gold.

19 Apr 2026 16:31:41
Very well, ArAy1969.

19 Apr 2026 16:49:50
More so called fans whining after a win.

19 Apr 2026 18:02:13
The performance matters.

19 Apr 2026 19:37:49
I'll gladly eat crow. Any recommendations on recipes?

19 Apr 2026 11:27:08
Ed025 how you feeling today about the game I see it being 2-2. Hopefully Villa drop points today as well and we can chase them down and you can get 6th and both of us get champions league. I've just looked you do have a tricky run in though.

{Ed025's Note - i have gone for the draw in my bet Grino, i have gone for 1-1 and Sobigheadednsly to score at 35/1 mate..

19 Apr 2026 11:52:40
Thought Grealish was injured.....

{Ed025's Note - Jack is injured Digger, but he is not big headed or sly mate he is so skillful that defenders have to foul him to get the ball off him, he is sorely missed but we have some good players that can cover for him..

19 Apr 2026 12:08:49
It's got 1-1 written all over it for me as well ed025. We score first after Pickford messes up a corner coming in, then we try and hold on and obviously can't so mess up and concede a goal that Ali would have saved but Marma can't.

{Ed025's Note - i will buy into that Mikey..

19 Apr 2026 13:22:28
Sorry ed25 did you say freakish is not big headed. The lad is a total tool. I've worked on his house when he was at city. Full of photos of himself and doesn't shut up about himself. If he was made of chocolate he would eat himself. So got to disagree with you there

{Ed025's Note - it is what it is Ted..

19 Apr 2026 05:28:42
A win today and it's 7 points clear of Chelsea with them still to play and dependant on what Villa do we could go level with them on points and also have them to play.
Champions League qualification is in our own hands. Let's hope we don't cock it up!

Everton can go 6th with a win so it should be some game.

19 Apr 2026 08:54:15
Next 2 games are vital. 6 points there, and confidence is up, and we're practically there on points too. Lose today and confidence is back to square one, and slog till the end, where we could easily miss out. Time for this team to step up now.

19 Apr 2026 09:25:16
Has this team stepped up all season?

19 Apr 2026 09:30:37
Confidence back to square 1? It's been lacking all season, unfortunately.
Which is a major part of the problem why the season has been so crap.

You can see it in the players, and why the season has been a struggle since early days.

I just don't see it, unfortunately, which is awful to admit.

19 Apr 2026 09:44:24
The team will step up when the manager steps down.

19 Apr 2026 09:52:59
I think it's going to be the worst derby in decades. Two of the poorest teams I've ever seen.

19 Apr 2026 10:08:11
We will beat the blue noses 2 nil... They are favourites for the 1st time in years, pressure is on them n they're not used to that pressure... Well that's my philosophy anyway, lets home it true ha.

19 Apr 2026 10:14:32
I mean, thingo, if we win today our confidence should be in a decent place for the run for top 5.

A 7 point gap. The players won their last two games in the Premier.

And I know many disagreed with me, and I don't feel like arguing every point of the game, but I saw the midweek game as a good step forward, minus the final third where we were poor again and playing Macca, who was shocking.

Granted those are big minuses, but I could see green shoots in our play if we build on it for the run-in in areas still lacking.

19 Apr 2026 10:53:27
The least I've ever been bothered about the Derby in years.

Feels like mid July, Audi Cup semi final in Singapore listening to Jay Spearing on LFCTV tell me this is Curtis Jones's year. 😂

19 Apr 2026 11:08:39
Indeed, @Thingo. Was the confidence ever there this season? As for the game this afternoon, what will be, will be. I'm numb, and with Chelsea losing in another dreadful perf. at home, the result of the derby means very little. If it's a draw? It's "as you were", really.

19 Apr 2026 12:17:30
Derbies are always frantic - fast-paced and tough-tackling. None of these qualities have been displayed in ages.
I think we'll be very lucky to even get a draw.
I can also see a red card happening. A lazy or tired late tackle.

19 Apr 2026 16:51:41
Scouse John, you wouldn't be positive even if we won 5-0. You drain people with your total negativity.

18 Apr 2026 23:38:34
As much as I hate United winning, that gives us breathing space.

19 Apr 2026 06:22:35
Yeah, between us and UTD.

Or until we get beat today and then lose at home to Palace next week. Probably lose to Chelsea as well, and UTD.

We're stuffed the season up good and proper, and it's going to take a miracle to make top 5.

19 Apr 2026 06:30:18
Apparently, we are winning all our remaining fixtures, TIB....

We'll even secure 2nd after the greatest bottle job that's about to hit.

19 Apr 2026 06:32:38
That's the spirit, @TIB, more like your glass is empty, let alone half full.

19 Apr 2026 07:07:13
My glass is completely bone dry, WDW. Every bit of optimism has been sucked out of me during the course of this season, mate.

19 Apr 2026 08:29:13
Probably couldn't ask for a better game today.

No hiding place for anyone.

Slot and the players will either stand up to the task or fall by the way side.

19 Apr 2026 08:47:04
They have to give their all today. They should show a bit of passion and commitment. Also, a good way to bounce back after the cup exit.
Let's hope we can do it, the Blues will be fired-up for this.

19 Apr 2026 08:49:57
Bulk, if we win our 3 home games, we get top 5. I hardly think that constitutes a miracle. Personally, I'm not confident of getting anything from our 3 remaining away fixtures, but 3 home wins will be enough. What a time to be a Red!

19 Apr 2026 09:34:45
I'd love for us to win our remaining games, but the way the season has gone, it's going to be a miracle. Our recent form suggests maybe winning 1 or 2 of the games. Hope I'm wrong, which I am a lot, but unless the games are reduced to 60 minutes, so we don't look knackered, I honestly don't believe we can.

19 Apr 2026 09:35:37
The thing is, Rome, I remember the teams we lost to at home this season, then I take a look at the fixture list, and wonder where the points are coming from.

19 Apr 2026 10:00:48
Couldn't care less who wins so long as it helps us out in the long run. I was absolutely delighted to see Utd got the victory yesterday, and you'd have to be thick as 2 planks to feel any other way about it.

We've been extremely lucky with how poor Chelsea and Villa have been on the run in. Time to take advantage of it.

2 wins back to back now would all but secure 5th, with Chelsea still to play at home. I hope the lads understand just how absolutely massive today is. This is one of the biggest derbies we've had in a long time, so much at stake. I'm expecting Everton to come out swinging. The boys best best proper up for it.

19 Apr 2026 11:11:15
The amount of "If we win..." type statements I have been reading all thru this season before games, is out of this world.

19 Apr 2026 11:39:02
OliRed, the amount of delusional "We will win..." claims from a special few on here who seem to have a very poor grasp of just how football works is completely insane.

We've lost 4 of our last 5 and 17 for the season so far. Week after week the same fools keep saying "Well I think we'll beat them..." only for them to be proven wrong.

They must have the memory of a goldfish and the skin of a hippo to be coming back and making the same stupid predictions every few days.

19 Apr 2026 12:43:08
In fairness, I'd rather read posts claiming we will win or even lose over posts saying I didn't watch the game as I had better things to do.

19 Apr 2026 12:49:49
What phrase, instead of "if we", would you prefer to be used, Oli? It's a phrase that's open ended. I'd rather use the phrase "if we" than be in a position where we are saying "we need so and so to lose". It's in our hands, and I'm fairly confident we will get 5th. If we win our home games.

19 Apr 2026 16:27:23
Rome as is the norm for you, you have missed the point completely. Therefore I refer you to reponse from @Chewy where he explained my post clearly (outside the harsh/harsher words he used) on this thread at a basic level. I propose you read what he said and you may understand a lot better.
