Could you imagine the kop singing come on Arne let's go party

I wouldn't be surprised if the likes of Graham Potter was I with a shout and to be fair to the bloke wouldn't be a bad call. Let's face it his Chelsea record was shit but then it was never going to be good with a chairman playing fantasy football but his record at Brighton was bad at all and was working on a next to nothing budget. He'll if we are talking about wolves and Brentford managers might aswel, throw his name in the hat.

Turkish Super Lig side Galatasaray are planning to make a move for Liverpool's Dutch midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, 21, in the summer. (Fotomac)

 

Portuguese midfielder Fabio Carvalho is set to stay and fight for his place at Liverpool next season under the club's new manager, despite interest from Hull City where the 21-year-old is currently on loan. (Football Insider)

No great loss on the Gravenberch front

I think that would be sound if he was a 100k p/w 23 year old squad player, but he's on massive money and is 32 in a couple of months. I think we should take the last opportunity to get some money for him.

 

Sell Salah and one of Diaz or Nunez, then buy a forward or two who have a brain, can run, and don't require 20 chances to score.

I don't see us selling anybody other than those that want to leave to be honest. If the Saudis come in with a crazy offer then it's down to they player I personally wouldn't begrudge him the move. Other than the last few games we haven't had to much of an issue scoring its the defence and defensive midfield I think we need to look at, this season we have given away so many silly goals I've lost count.

I'm going to say Alonso does a u turn. Well we can all live in hope but he wouldn't be the first or the last manager to do so.

I agree with this, the pace has definitely gone. You'd need to be behind the scenes as to why but I thought we'd steam into Palace yesterday. Just never happened.

If we had steamed into them they wouldn't have scored yesterday we may have ended up with a draw but we would have been a point above Arsenal. Our best way to defend is attack its been proved so many times.

But surely people have been saying that to him for 2 seasons now. I actually think he would be more beneficial to us coming from the bench for those reasons. Games like yesterday, him coming on in 20 minute bursts, get the crowd going and his brand of football would potentially work better.

I agree to a certain extent  perhaps a change in management and style next season might help him. I was surprised when we signed he didn't seem our type of player in my eyes but I love him to bits because parts of his game is what we were missing. I think think Jota starts the next game without a shadow of doubt Gakpo I'm still not convinced about.

The forward line needs a shake up and it's not just about missed chances either. I'd like to see Salah, Jota and Gakpo starting the remaining games, I doubt we will like but along with the missed chances it's just gone a bit scratchy, no cohesion.

I think it's because we are playing with no pace if we played much slower yesterday we might aswell of just sat down on the pitch. It's like the intensity has been switched off and we are trying to play like an 80s Barcelona team and walk through teams

Salah did miss a sitter

To be fair Salah was hardly mentioned in yesterday's game and instead of his normal smile he didn't look happy . Nunez is just a scapegoat for many people but I much prefer a striker that tries than one that doesn't I think he just needs to stop being so pumped up and bring it down abit and he might find thd net abut more but to be fair the Palace keeper did pull off some very good saves yesterday.

I'm not fussed if we win 1-0 Arsenal will slip up at some point

I can't believe people have watched Mo for the past few years and would rather have £100m or whatever figure. He's still got it. Fuck the money. He's not a gamble; a £100m+ replacement is. 

Ultimately its not ours or even the clubs choice if he wants to move on at the end of the season time will tell on that front. It's never a case of fuck the money every player has a price and also its down to the new manager aswell if he wants Mo about (be crazy not to) but nobody knows. At some point we will have to take that gamble i wouldn't be surprised if we see a few unexpected players leaving this summer

No, its not better to sell Salah for £100m, when you need £250m to replace his goal contribution.

 

It would be as stupid as selling £50 notes for £20 each. 
 

Salah has 4-5 years left at the absolute top level.

 

 

Maybe so but with 1 year left on his contract is it not better to take 100m than to lose him for free next year? Or atleast offer him a new 2 year contract and see how his camp react. We have to accept at some point he will go and every player has a price

I assumed we’d bury them afterwards, but hey-ho…

RIP Ten hag. Ratcliffe has been arrested after saying that he had to show Ten Hag what being head and shoulders above the the rest meant when he failed to grasp the concept.

Whoever becomes the new manager will be an anticlimax they just won't be Klopp. His charisma passion and they way he brings everybody together can't be replaced and that's where the job will become a poison chalice. Us fans are fickle and I don't think will cut the next manager much slack because unlike the likes of Ferguson and Wenger Klopp is leaving with the club and team in good shape. Perhaps I'm just worn down with all this crap I dunno but I just can't seem to find a positive at the moment.

If I was Klopp and saw that name linked at replacing me I'd feel fucking insulted.

What makes you thing it’s a trade off? See that out today and they come into it with a massive inferiority complex. Now they’ll

be up for fucking us over

Today we were sloppy at times Anthony should never been allowed to score with 3 or4 players around him and how many warnings did we need about Rashford? Top that with failing to put the game to bed when we had the chances it was just a bad day at the office i dont think they played that well to be honest. It was obvious that going into extra time was going to be our downfall after playing on Thursday night we just run out of steam in the end. I'm pretty convinced it will be a different story in a few weeks time.

Bitter pil to swallow but id rather lose today but take the 3 points next time

Realistically we should be easily beating anyone we get drawn against, except Leverkusen.

Be interesting to see how Alonso measures up to Klopp though

I don't worry about the Roma teams, it's their shithouse fans.

Mate of mine was out there for the Brighton game he said they were excellent other than the couple of twats with knifes. He said the biggest issues was the police if your a Roma fan a blind eye was turned but aways fans the police didn't need an excuse to shove you about.

or Roma 

Yeah but from what I've seen of them this season they ain't the best. The 4-0 win over Brighton flattered them to be honest

Cheats v Real and drawn arsenal in semis if all get through 

Couldn't have asked for a better draw form our standpoint if you ask me especially if they both get though the to the semi finals 

Aslong as we don't lose I'll be happy
