Yep a pretty pathetic 15 minute showing by Endrick, his head was gone from the minute he got out thereUgly play from a player that took a couple of cheap shots at him. Fuck Real Madrid.

I think you’re right about Trent & Mo both waiting on the other. And likely VVD, too, as he’ll look to slot in at the next salary tier on a short term deal. If Mo hits £500k/week for 2 years, Virg has to be thinking £350k for 2, right?There's some thought that a lot of this also has to do with the other contract situations and the different progression paces. Trent's is probably the holdup for both sides. He could blow up the wage structure.
Seems less than ideal. Good grief.Liverpool’s staff Christmas party at the city’s Anglican cathedral had to be shut down early due to fears over drug-taking.
The Premier League leaders had rented the cathedral, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, for around 500 staff to attend on Thursday night.
But the party was cut short after searches by venue officials — triggered by an unrelated medical emergency — revealed suspected drug paraphernalia in the toilets.
The emergency saw a staff member receive medical treatment after collapsing at the event, but was not drugs related.
As originally reported by The Daily Mail, the club then decided to bring the party to an early halt, around 30 minutes before the bars were due to close.
Football staff including Arne Slot and the club’s players did not attend the gathering at the 120-year-old cathedral, which provides its own security for events.
Probably a bad idea to set up the Robbie Fowler goal-celebration booth.Liverpool staff Christmas party shut down over fears of drug-taking

Yup not sure how I saw that as Citeh when it was clearly a red logo. Time for new glasses and also that's a good point I forgot about Endo potentially in that spot. I wonder if they start Quansah and have both Endo and hopefully Konate on the bench.United and yes probably. It’s either him or Endo in a pinch I guess
I forgot Gravbenberch filled in when Robertson got his red a couple of weeks ago and looked pretty great. But I think it would be Quansah so they don’t mess with the midfield unless absolutely necessaryYup not sure how I saw that as Citeh when it was clearly a red logo.

Bruno should be out with his red, but if Amorim stays true to shape, he’ll still find a way to get an extra man in the midfield. Point being, Grav should have a busy day and we’ll probably see Quansah marking Hojlund so that Virg can sweep the gaps.I forgot Gravbenberch filled in when Robertson got his red a couple of weeks ago and looked pretty great.

They appealed his previous red and had it rescinded so he will only miss the one game and will be back Sunday. But agree with your larger pointBruno should be out with his red, but if Amorim stays true to shape, he’ll still find a way to get an extra man in the midfield.

Is this unprecedented for a club as big as Liverpool? Letting 3 players hit free agency (or whatever its called in EPL terms) that are this important and potentially losing them for nothing? Seems really crazy that it got to this pointRumor going that PSG are interested in Mo, which makes a ton of sense. FSG are on track to fuck up this squad. Sigh.
Not saying this rumor is false. But if I were Mo Salah's agent, and I wanted to put pressure on Liverpool to raise its offer, I would definitely start a rumor that PSG are interested.Rumor going that PSG are interested in Mo, which makes a ton of sense. FSG are on track to fuck up this squad. Sigh.
I think if makes sense for PSG because Mo is still a world class attacker and he’s the most famous Muslim in the world. PSG has lost a lot of star power in recent years, so getting Salah on BeIN sports every week is at least a good brand investment if not financial one.Not saying this rumor is false.

From PSG’s point of view I think it’s more of “hey! look at me” thing in the event the LFC negotiations break down - as opposed to them sticking there noses in.I think if makes sense for PSG because Mo is still a world class attacker and he’s the most famous Muslim in the world.

Wouldn't the answer be that PSG provides both? It's not like PSG won't be a contender for every trophy in Europe.If Salah prioritizes money, he'll take the insane Saudi offer that is probably already on the table. If he prioritizes winning big trophies and his legacy, he'll stay at Liverpool.
I have a hard time seeing the calculus by which he goes to PSG. He's not going to move to Paris for an extra 100k per week if he could move to Riyadh for an extra 100m per year.
I don't think PSG is much of a CL contender at this point, at least beyond the "any decent side could have a luck run" level of contention. And I'm not sure Salah would put much value on any of the domestic trophies in France.Wouldn't the answer be that PSG provides both? It's not like PSG won't be a contender for every trophy in Europe.
Slot’s presser today indicated Jota is out for a few weeks … sigh , the lad is made of glass. Strictly guessing it’s a muscle injury of some sort - which would be predictable given he was returning from the long term injury. He had said he “felt something” in his Forrest cameo.Jota will not enjoy his body’s response to being 40 where “slight discomfort” will be the best he ever feels.
As far as I can tell, there really isn't any difference between first and second. The teams you potentially face in the R16 or other non-seeded teams in your side of the bracket are all randomly determined. For example, they'll use some kind of random draw to decide whether the 15 or 16 seed plays the 17 or 18 seed in your part of the bracket whether you are 1st or 2nd.Slot rotating heavily for PSV - the traveling squad doesn’t include Salah, Trent, Konate, VVD, Alison, Grav, or Macca.
Liverpool have secured a top-2 finish regardless of result and Slot made a point in his last presser that finishing first vs second might not result in a better machine up given the quality squads scrambling to quality still. Top the table and end up playing PSG in the next round? Some reward. The rest for star players is more valuable.
Slot has said he regretted what he said. If it was for the handshake, this is going to get even uglier. There’s video going around of Pep shaking Oliver’s hand even more aggressively. If the manager of the team that helps pad Oliver’s bank account gets away with it and Slot doesn’t, well… Yeah. Uglier.The story is going round that Slot’s red card was due to an overly aggressive handshake. Really?
