Liverpool Thread - 2023/24

They’ll be riding a wave of emotion all the way to League Cup glory and a heroic runners up spot in the league. Which will be a fitting finale for the gurning ****.

I would love it to break that they went for Mbappe and got pipped to his signature by you, so thought no point carrying on. Just to watch the fume.

He's taking his teeth on tour

Unexpected

I would say I don't know why they announce it now, but information always gets leaked anyway, so I guess its better to be open.

Big boots to fill for whoever comes in next, and they built a squad very suited to him. If they get a manager coming in wanting to play a different style then it could be a real struggle to be the second best team as they've been for the most part.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Actually, with the timing etc I do hope he is ok and nowt wrong.

I also hope this is a result of realising City arent going to be punished out of the league.

I also hope he goes to Saudi Arabia, that would seriously fuck lfc fans heads up

 

[youngbob]

Didn't we do it at exact same time with pellegrini and just scraped 4th

Pellegrini announced it himself without the club's knowledge if I remember rightly. Was just in the middle of a standard pre-game press conference and blurted it out.

Klopp this summer and Guardiola next summer..

The PL is going to have a wild couple of years coming up!

Give it a rest will you... ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠⊙⁠_⁠ʖ⁠⊙⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Hope Xavi Alonso doesn't end up as his replacement.

Was my immediate thought.

Sales of candles will soar.

Can only think that the unfairness of the City situation plays into this. Why continue to waste energy when others cheat their way to beating you?

Honestly I think City being there is part of why Klopp has stayed so long. I could be wrong like. Just feel like he's an underdog type of manager and it's why he ended up at us in the first place, loves the challenge.

I do think last season took a lot out of him though, in fact, he said it did. That's the tough part for me.

They're taking it well on squawk.

 

[Tolmie scores]

Anges next move.

I'd love Ange here, he is a winner, very calm, very very good tactician, makes players play his way who he hasn't bought....wins everywhere... Im hoping he's our next manager

 

[The blue phantom]

Hope Xavi Alonso doesn't end up as his replacement.

Already backed off the boards and down to even money.

 

[ColinBellsjockstrap]

I wish him well. Very good manager, friend of Pep and seems like a genuine nice guy.

The pressure at the top must be tremendous every week to deliver.

 

[Stato]

Alonso seems the obvious choice from their point of view.
Hope this doesn't galvanize them for the rest of the season

 

[Coljj]

It might motivate them to push for a trophy, but who knows?

The players or the ref+var?

 

[Tricky_Trev]

They are going to get Alonso and he is going to be Pep levels of brilliant as a manager.

 

[M18CTID]

Please let it be a shite final season for the cunts.

I'd almost take them winning the league this season if it meant they went back to being mediocre for years and we carried on winning plenty of trophies.

Actually, scrap that - like you, I hope it's a shite final season and shite for the next decade!

 

[DisturbedSwan]

Mad news, never liked him but can’t doubt he’s a class manager. Nowhere near Pep’s level though ultimately.

 

[Iassel]

Who said Pep is leaving next year?

Lu Martin, who via his closeness to Pol Ballus should be considered as reliable as any third party could be.

Of course the hope is Guardiola gets a hunger for another extension, but winning the league by 20+ points next year with Klopp gone isn’t going to help!

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Anges next move.

Xabi Alonso
