Yep learning process is the name of the game. Rotation and using the squad is one thing he defo has got wrong during the business end of the season. It's his first season away from Holland and im sure he won't make the same mistake again.

I said before it would be more of a surprise if he signed. Leaves a sour taste ngl but its a combo of poor upper management and Trent's ambitions extending beyond Liverpool. Those that say he's easily replaced are just lying to themselves as he's creativity and ability to run a game from Right back is unheralded. Big big miss but thats football. Wish him the best but **** you too.

‘If’ he leaves, how is it ‘poor upper management’ mate?

Not selling him? I mean you can’t force a player to extend. And you can’t force him to be sold come to that. The power is all in the players hands.

Even with Klopp leaving throwing a spanner in the works, you have ample opportunity to offer Trent a new deal during that time. Unless Madrid have been in his ear for the past 2 years which I doubt. We are not a club in a position to be letting 100mill players leave for free.

The same with the looming issue with Konate whos deal expires next year year. If you cant get him to extent then he simply has to he sold this summer and get in a replacement. Leaving money on the table might work for oil clubs but a sulf sustaining club like Liverpool cant afford that.
 
Makes no odd mate. If the player doesn't want to be sold, you can't force him to sign elsewhere. Just like you can't force him to extend. The player holds ALL the cards.

But what are we losing here anyway? He cost us nothing. 'If' he moves this summer, we break even on any fee. And given the amount of money he's earned for the club over his time here that far outweighs what we've paid him, we're up financially.

I don't see how the club's accountable here if the player wants to take care of himself?

Can anyone even begin to explain how this is not a red card?
 
It’s a funny feeling to be sat, as we have been since November, still double points clear and coasting to one of the easiest titles of all our 20. (In terms of no title challengers all season to speak of. The games have been the furthest from easy as always in the Worlds toughest league.). Having just battled our way to yet another win in the mongrels Cup Final. Ruining their pitiful little lives until the next time we meet. Bouncing into work in a City we own. Yet again …..

Yet I’m left as absolutely fuming this AM, as I was last night.😡🤬

Yesterdays admin-

Title Countdown:
22 wins down/ 7 to go.
73 points down/ 19 to go.

Current PL unbeaten run:
P 26 W 19 D 7 F 63 A 26 CS: 10
4 Straight Wins/ 1 Straight CS.

Current unbeaten home PL run:
P 13 W 11 D 2 F 30 A 10 CS: 5
5 Straight Wins/ 1 Straight CS.

Fuming at the single worst, most biased, officiating display I can ever remember. And man alive is the bar set low! Before the game, you are thinking at least the officiating can’t be any worse than Goodison. Which Sam Barrott, and that continued L’pool hting bleep Tierney, apparently took as a personal affront ….. The criminal assaults on AllyMac and Darwin were bad enough. But all game long our boys were pulled, dragged and kicked all over the park. With absolutely F all given by an official that flatly refused to acknowledge any offence against anyone in Red. But woe betide anyone even question the ineptness like Jota after he’d been dragged down by his neck for what seemed the 30th time. Straight yellow card. The Ev captain’s disgusting leg breaker, who even Duncan Ferguson …… DUNCAN FERGUSON!!!!!, called it outright assault on AllyMac, when he wasn’t even tackling him as he HE had control of the ball (‘Great Derby challenge’ what Moyes? It wasn’t even a TACKLE!)- No issue. Token booking! That PROPER danger Jordan Pickford trying to do to Darwin what he did to van Dijk ….. Not even a free kick. But let’s book Darwin for rolling back on the pitch to show up your complete incompetence! 40 notes my seasie works out at per game. 40 notes to have yet another game ruined by stunning, historical incompetence that is kettling heads at the match game in, game out. Last night in the most biased officiating display I’ve honestly ever seen in my 45 years since my first game. A game where Everton were blatantly allowed to do things Liverpool weren’t.

Fuming doesn’t begin to cover it. And this comes from a supporter of a team that battled their backsides off and won the game! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Trent and Curtis hugging the life out of each other at the end ….. there, needed that brilliant memory to calm me down. 😊 The Scousers in our team! And I hope you don’t have to be off the same streets as those two brilliant Reds to appreciate that moment together as one with them last night.

Outstanding display from Curtis. Outstanding display from Diaz. Outstanding leadership from Virgil to see us home. Typical Derby were we refused to be outfought, did our job, and sent them back to their County Road hovels knowing they’d just been beat by the Champions. One of the quitest the Blues have ever been at Anfield. I noted yesterday the apathy among them expecting a hiding and they certainly were mooted like that.

I LOVED the banner proclaiming ‘We Made This City!’ Perfect to stare back down at them. YNWA before the game was as passionate as that’s been in a LONG time. And the let off when Jota scored ….. that’s as loud and as mad as it’s been for years. The Kop floor was literally vibrating and moving under your feet again.

Excellent night ruined yet again by base ineptness from those in charge. But let’s not let them ruin just how majestic this team is and just how much better than everyone else in England we are. 12 points better. 24 on the board. It’s getting closer and closer to the inevitable it’s been all season long.

8 more massive battles to be won Reds and then the summer long party can commence in earnest!

Oh, before I forget, that’s 63 straight years we’ve finished top 8. But absolute humongous whoppers will tell you we’ll be mid-table without Mo and big Virg. Mid-table …… We’ve never finished low enough the past 63 years to even see that over our shoulders!

Up the ‘We Made This City’, PGMOL beating, best in class Redmen!

'Spurs at home then. Just like '82, '83 (WHL. But still 'clinched' it against 'Spurs. Lost but Utd got beat too), and '88.

Never an Everton peno BTW. Outside the box and dived. Yet another VAR disgrace.

Bur honestly, just like Arsenal with Odegaard playing basketball at ours, I couldn't give a flying .....

*Sings …..

‘CAMPIONE, CAMPIONE, CAMPIONE LIV-ER-POOL!’,

Funny game this when you can be starting your work week, after a defeat, with L’pool in an even better position than last Monday.

Yesterday’s admin-

Title Countdown:
22 wins down/ 7 to go.
73 points down/ 19 to go.

Yesterday felt like Watford in ‘19/‘20 when we finally lost our first game of the season with the league well won. Nobody was remotely A.

Yeah, you don’t like to see L’pool lose games of football like. But when you’re just waiting for what’s been inevitable since last November, confirmation of L’pool’s 20th league title, it leads to a really laid back atmosphere at the game as you know you can more than afford to throw one of them in on the this last 8 game title procession. Everything before sets up being sound with defeats like that.

You go from having a really good day out, in glorious weather, at what is, along with Brentford, the friendliest away in the league. With some boss watering holes that don’t mind away fans at all. To AllyMacs belter opener. Which lead to the best our end has been anywhere for the next 9 minutes. The let offs this past week when we’ve scored against the Ev and yesterday have been awesome. To the best team in the land by a Country mile, uncharacteristically falling apart with woeful defending to have the game done by half-time. But nobody remotely bothered as the defeat means absolutely NOTHING in the grand scheme of things. That’s why you have worked SO hard for the past 7/8 months since Forest to be on such a phenomenal run of 26 unbeaten in the league. (19 wins .). And 17 straight away games. (10 wins.). That form is RIGHT up there among some of the all time best in this football clubs storied history. ANY season. And has them still sat a ridiculous 4 games clear of every other team with just 7 to play. It affords you throwing ‘one of them’ in. And it doesn’t spoil your day out the match one iota. Back in the boozer Putney Bridge after the game, it didn’t take more than a half hour for the songs about winning the league/ Manchester handing it over et al to be belted out as the game was forgotten as everyone soaked in the gorgeous afternoon weather. Which lead to a totally relaxed train home.

Well done Fulham. You could make a case that L’pool deserved a point for their second half improvement. The stats would bear that out. But Fulham didn’t deserve to not take all three points in their pursuit of Europe so all credit to them. Disappointing to end our sensational run like that. But meh, it’s just delaying the inevitable.

Nothing to get worked up about. Nothing to over analyse and chat S on the manager laughably calling him and his players ‘arrogant’ et al as I’ve been reading this AM. Nothing to be nervous about. Just another week where L’pool came out on top, thanks indirectly to Everton, after we beat them first, to the ultimate end goal.

Chill out. Enjoy the continued good weather. And bounce into your week knowing the Reds are almost there to the biggest summer party we’ve been allowed to have in decades!

All about enjoying what this ridiculously great football team we are privileged to have at this point and counting down to them winning the biggest prize of all once more.

If you aren’t doing that, you are doing it TOTALLY wrong!

Up the ‘Not A, we’re winning the league lad’ Reds!
