The only established world class player Klopp signed was Thiago. For all the rest, they were making their first step up to an elite level club (and in the earlier years, a club climbing back to that level).

But obviously Klopp and his reputation and record were a huge factor for Liverpool that will be hard to replicate at first. Luckily there is a high level squad there now and the opportunity for the next man to get a good head start. Outside of replacing Matip this summer, are there any obvious holes to be filled? The biggest talking points will be the contracts of Salah, Van Dijk and Trent.

Do we need to replace Matip? Quansah (the odd stray pass aside ) has been excellent this season. We have VVD, Konate, Gomez, & Quansah. You bring someone in, you talking about 40 + mil no doubt to take minutes away from Quansah. I think I'd rather promote another youth player to 5th choice.

Yeah, that's fair on Quansah. Can they rely on Konate though? He misses a lot of games. They're also due a decision, either way, on Sepp van Berg. Is he going to be given a season with the squad to make his mark after all these loans?


I'm assuming Phillips and Williams will be sold.

No chance Klopp will stay on?

He will be thinking come September what am I going to do with myself. 

I'd say he'll be in the Germany job by then.

Probably suit him fine away from the intense pressure of a job like Liverpool. Days off, do a bit of punditry on the side if he wants.

Haven't seen the Saka penalty incident yet but it definitely wasn't a penalty.

Most blatant, bordering on comical, attempt by an attacker to engineer contact I've ever seen!

I know! Anyone that leaves/drags a leg into a defender/keeper to engineer a penalty needs 60 lashes 

Yeah, lots of them do it these days, but that was taking it to a whole new level.

And for what? He made such an exaggerated detour that it was never going to pass VAR review, even if the ref had initially given it.

Curb finished very strongly all right. Absolute genius of a show, and yeah, it will be rewatchable for years. Same as Seinfeld I guess.

Bruce Springsteen's cameos were hilarious. Tracy Ullman too for the past two seasons. But what an addition DJ Smoove was when he joined in season 6 or 7 and never moved out of Larry's house!

Amorim in talks according to talkport to replace Klopp. Not sure how I feel about this, Man United went down the route of getting a manager who has won trophies in one of the lesser leagues and hasn't really worked.  De Zerbe could be another Graham Potter if got a " big job" no real stand out candidate at the moment for me. Would take Ange over De Zerbe given choice. 

Wouldn't compare what has gone on with a poor ran club like Manchester United, even Klopp would have struggled there. If you want a manager with high vibes with a big focus on attacking and little focus on defending which the media love in choose to ignore then Ange Postecoglou is your man however I doubt that style of play will be good enough to retain the Premier league title for Liverpool next season.

Another two points off for Everton, this time for last season.

Should have took them off them last season.

The timing of the penalties in relation to the offenses is a weird one for me, but I'm assuming it's all in the league rules.

Will be great to see Jota back. Hopefully he won't need much time to get up to speed.  The amount of chances that are being coughed up is crazy, while the opposition get one sniff and score!  Mo is off it completely.  Looks like he's lost his sharpness and burst of speed. But that doesn't explain why he's ballooning clear shots on goal. I saw online reference being made to him fasting for Ramadan.  That didn't seem to affect him too much in previous years!

Is he the only Muslim player Liverpool have? Most team would have Salah playing, he's scored 21 goals in 32 games, granted, a handy penalty here and there but you still have to put them away

Konate is Muslim too.

Nailed on penalty.

There we go, Arsenal or City's to lose now

Technically it's Arsenals to lose.
Looking forward to Captain Obvious confirming as much soon.

Arsenal won't let United off the hook like Liverpool did.

Thank you wan Bissaka. Stupid tackle!

Seems to be a feature of this Liverpool team, not a bug. Should have beaten City and Arsenal at Anfield, United in the cup, and now this. Not clinical enough.

Is that this seasons Stevie G slip moment for Liverpool

Unbelievable.

FA Cup all over again.

Cruising, not taking chances, defensive idiocy.
