Match Thread: Everton v Liverpool

[justme]

Going back to Slot. I think most would agree, Glasner has been tactically better than him over the past few games.

I wonder if Slot will be able to do something for Saturday's game differently to help us overcome Palace.
One thing is for sure, The Palace manager will have his team fired up for the match

[Red October]

Worrying. Ties in with what Steveo was saying yesterday. Basically Arsenal from a few years back, skim the cream off the top by just meandering around the CL places.
One year left is pretty much saying to him, you have to earn your extension,any manager worth his salt would tell them to do one.

I'm still hoping that the past few weeks have just been the "dreaded vote of confidence" and that Slot will still leave in the summer. It's unlikely that the top brass would leak that they're getting rid of him. If they do keep him for next season:

1. He'll be a lame duck as the players know he's only got that season
2. We're less likely to attract any top players (if we have any budget left) as who would want to play for us right now
3. Players we have will be questioning why they're here. Dom, Wirtz, Isak, Ekitike, Grav, Frimpong. All these players are a big part of our side now and will be wondering what direction the club is taking.
4. Fans will have about as much interest in the new season as in watching Everton vs Spurs

[Steveo]

It's the hope that kills you

We have to remember that Klopp wasn't just a manager ... he was a political shield for FSG. He was the one who convinced world-class players to stay for lower wages than they’d get at City or PSG - he turned relative budget signings like Robertson and Wijnaldum into genuine superstars. The current crisis is that Slot ... 'H'edwards' (Hughes and Edwards) are trying to run the club like a cold ... data-driven corporation. But we know that football isn't just data - without Klopp's charisma to paper over the fact that FSG won't spend their own money ... the buy-to-let nature of their ownership is fully exposed.

Is this positioning for a sale? In a way ... yes - even if there isn't a literal for sale sign in the window. By clearing out high-wage veterans like Salah and Robertson and replacing them with younger players who have high resale value ... they are simply re-optimising their balance sheet. For an investor ... a club with low debt - a young squad on long contracts - and a modernised stadium (just the 2 stands we paid for) is the perfect asset.

For a fan ... genuine ones at least and not bedroom dwellers who never go to games... Liverpool FC now starts to look like a club that has traded its competitive soul for a healthy yield.

Amazing weekend, most LFC fans out celebrating the 1st of many epic wins at the Dickinson,
Then a good jolly laugh at the gooners.

Tough weekend for the fam down souf

[Steveo]

Oh right …the cup final..?

Stick to the Dickinson highlights on your laptop - because you clearly haven't got a clue about the M6 or the reality of what's happening at Anfield ... you're so busy being an FSG apologist that you've started seeing "Gooners" everywhere just to avoid talking about the fact that we're being run like a cold - corporate asset flip.

It’s easy to be a "happy clapper" from a bedroom in Ireland where the only thing you’ve ever "leveraged" is your TV remote ... actually - your mouse, you probably don’t even pay to view… but some of us actually put the miles in and see the "buy-to-let" model for what it is.

Keep polishing John Henry’s boots from across the water - the rest of us are interested in the club’s soul - not its spreadsheet.

[CCTV]

No one should pay sky/bt/tnt etc to watch sports

You seem really mad that Arsenal got beat...

All you've done is come on here and moan like fuck about all things LFC after a great derby day win for LFC, followed by a jolly good laugh at the gooners....

Brighton beat chelsea last night.... a well run club

[Steveo]

So you don’t go to games – you don’t pay for the TV – and you’re lecturing me about being a fan from a bedroom in Ireland? ... You’re a digital ghost – a parasite living off the atmosphere and the funds provided by genuine match-going fans you’re trying to mock ... You’re happy to watch the "yield" grow as long as someone else is paying the bill.

And the Brighton shout is pure comedy... Tony Bloom is a fan who puts his own money in – FSG are asset-flippers who use our history as leverage to buy American hockey teams and golf tours ... If FSG ran Brighton they’d have sold the pier for scrap and charged the fans for the privilege of watching it sink.

The Arsenal obsession is a treat – it’s embarrassing now even for you without the jokestrap persona in tow... Keep polishing John Henry’s boots for free like the GIMP you are while watching your dodgy stream that;s always about 10 minutes behind.. as mentioned... some of us actually put the miles in up the m1/m40 and the M6 and care about the soul of the club – you’re just a shill for a spreadsheet you don’t even contribute to.

I can see it now, Steveo proudly watching the BBC at home, I paid for this.... #OnlyFans

I'm pointing out how bitter you are after a great weekend of sport.

Salah scores the 1st goal in the derby at the Dickinson, a hilarious goal given their celebrations moments earlier.

VVD seals the deal in the 100th minute.

Then Arsenal bottle it v cituae.

Yet your on here bitter as fuck

[CCTV]

Brighton have net spent €28.99 Million this decade, over the last 6 seasons.

Less than €5 mill net a season over the last 6 seasons.

Since 2009 the clubs valuation has increased significantly.

[Steveo]

Must be something in the water? Bitter as fuck? :lol Even a year 7 could see I was the most ecstatic of posters on this thread as we beat the BS.. The time stamps and the comments speak for themselves.

But even more hilarious is that you think quoting Brighton’s accounts is a thing ... you’ve literally confirmed the point that you’re a shill for the "sell-to-buy" model - celebrating mid-table accounting on a Liverpool FC forum... it’s the ultimate "top fan " behaviour.

Keep up the weird Arse obsession. Something to get behind. You’re not a Liverpool supporter by any means - you’re an unpaid accountant cheering for a spreadsheet ... I’ll take the win - you can take the Net Spend trophy home for data ANAL’ysis

And after Arsenal lost.....

● Moaning about 2010 purchase price.
● Moaning about tbe coutinho fee.
● Moaning about buy to let which ended after 2020. LFC & Cituae having similar net spends since.
● Moaning about Klopp the miracle worker, failing to appreciate Klopps outlook on football.

And yet, still chipper in Rice fashion, its not done yet

"Brighton are a well run club, so fucking what" was your take before using a very selective presentation of Data to suggest Arteta overtook Klopp.
This a few months after Klopp left, around the time you posted Slot had a more complete game of football than Klopp.

Big wins for steveo alright, dumbest plank on the forum

All for Arsenal, All for Arteta, All for Kroneke.

[Steveo]

Who is "Kroneke".?

Keyboard a little mucky? Glasses a little steamed up?

Was it the 'obsessed with the Arse' narrative that did it?

Apparently misspelling Kroenke is the only rebuttal

You got very sour after Arsenal lost at cituae

[Steveo]

Yep and I'm bullish that my team will pip them to the title As the forum knows - this represently my nature perfectly... This must the reason why I was so down... Darn it - if only I had known.

..there I was thinking that ...along with 9/10th's of the Liverpool fan base I was simply dreading the future with Slot and H'edwards steering the ship.....

I'd never put 2 and 2 together... well now I know. Thanks for the heads up. All this time I'd just assumed you were shill for Henry and co... What could it have been that made me think such a thing?? silly me..

There is some very good ‘next level’ football developing under Slot. Yes I know it’s only Pre season friendly etc… but still.

It is a different approach to Klopp’s. Not massively but it is different - dare I say it, a more compete form of the game. It would be magic if we could become adept enough at it to mount a title challenge with this style. Not expecting that at all this season.

But the early signs are very encouraging

Twas all good shit talking Klopp with Slot's next level football and more complete form of the game.... when you didnt expect Slot to win...

As soon as Slot won the league for LFC last year, you were raging.

You were convinced arsenal would win it

Like you are again this year
