I really need someone to find that article written during the summer/start of the season, that was just a puff piece for how much smarter Liverpool's owners and executive team were (iirc the insinuation being that they're smarter than ours specifically). Another wonderful example of football not being played on paper.

The “prices” for those sales are hilarious, every one of them. Just absolute delusion. Be lucky to get £100m for the lot

Vain Dick, £40 million? Gakpo, £80 million? FFS! We live in the real world, not in some fantasy world, some cuckoo-cloud land inhabited by pixies and gold dust.

Spot on, PSG were head and shoulders above in both legs. They had poise and the flair to show up all the deficencies.
You could say they got us at the right time, but then practically every week is the right time at present. So many players off form or injured, but that cannot be an excuse when any team in the PL plays continental opposition. The league is rich enough and clubs make huge amounts so there is little credence to clubs claiming they have too many injuries.
So much is down to inconsistency along with the dilly dally over Guehi & Semenyo. Only "Eccles Teacake" (superb) and Szoboszlai have played consistently well with flashes from the others and down right rank form for many others....most notably IMO, VVD.
Still, always try and take a positive, that Ekitike will get better soon, Isak may actually manage to find form and we creep into the top 5.
You look at that PSG team and you hold that to be the standards we should be aiming for.


I have to say I am torn. Part of me thinks it is too fast and we dont want to go down the Chelsea route of sacking a manager for one bad season. That said, his odd selections and continued belief in the one trick pony that is Gakpo beggars belief.
As much as I may like the idea of Alonso coming in, that old ex player thing can never be guaranteed. Perhaps finding replacements for VVD & Gakpo would be a better move than giving Slot the chop.

If the dippers had really gone at them in the first leg they might of had a chance, but they didn't

Sack Slot now is the only way. They wont do it but that is the thing that HAVE to do.

Otherwise they are going to keep him, sack him early next season, then next season is lost too. Then Liverpool have to start the whole journey again getting a good set of players AND manager together.... How long did that take even Klopp?

Snooze and lose, tough decisions need to be made when you think about the consequences. Though I suspect FSG dont see it like that.

Its the money that's the problem. They have paid for Wirtz and co on the drip over 5 years. At some point they will be getting knocked back for the A and even B class players because they can't meet the selling clubs requirements.
