Im more curious to see how slot will cope this season, he had it so easy last year with everyone taking a year off and zero injuries, the only time he faced a tiny bit of jeopardy was when everton equalised and he completely and utterly lost it, if thats what happens when he is under no pressure and something minor goes against him, it will be interesting to see what happens when he is under pressure and something doesnt go for him.

Slot could with Wirtz have his Nunez moment, now he has got the chequebook out he'll be judged on the players he buys.

Pressure will be right on him.

You mean the same press that keeps touting that Liverpool is breaking the English transfer record? The same press that keeps saying that Liverpool may break the record for a second time shortly?

Sorry, bro, but you really seem like an idiot when you post stuff like this.

No the same media that say "manchester city smash the transfer record yet again", waste of money, Kevin de bryune isn't worth 50m ever..... sterling is greedy, haaland is worse than nunez.

Its reported on differently and city fans know that, see it, live it every day for the last 10 years. (Its not even just City fans tbh).

Seriously m8 you seem to have a lot of love for Liverpool.

Annoyingly, Kerkez is a tremendous buy. I'd take him for £40m over Ait-Nouri for £31m every day of the week, has a much higher ceiling imo. Improves them a fair bit already and future proofs them. Disappointing to see.

Repeating as Champions is more about character than talent. Something they haven't done for 40 years. They are there to be shot at now and we'll have to wait and see how they deal with that. Their signings look good on the face of it but time will tell, just like our signings.

The issue is they are built up in the media to such an extent, that some teams are beaten before they play them, similar to the hard shoulder shitters rag bastards.

Then there is City - Tell me any other side that the media give hours to showing how they can be beaten, weaknesses etc.

I wonder how you estimated Rodri's ceiling after watching him for a whole season.

Time will tell who is the better fit. Ait-Nouri seems better in small spaces, a level above Kerkez technically wise. The Hungarian might be better at defending, can't say, but this doesn't make him a better fit wrt City.
 
Liverpool are thinking about life after Salah, so they went after Wirtz and want a top striker.

That's good planning.

Whether it will be enough to win them the league/CL only time will tell. Wirtz might flop relative to the expectations. He's undoubtedly a very good player, but is he better than Marmoush? May sound like a silly question to Liverpool fans (and some on here), given the hype, but it's not a forgone conclusion.

And their scarcely-concealed joy when reporting on a loss for us. How every single game we play the collective costs of the first team players is not only mentioned but scrutinised over, time and time again.

This is a media who tremble in fear at the prospect of printing a negative word about the red cartel.

its the allison ederson debate. allison is probably the better shot stopper (although ederson has improved hugely) but ederson is perfect for what we need.

I don't believe that the media perception has much influence on the players although it is annoying for us fans as I don't think we get the credit we deserve.

But if the don't hate you, they don't rate you. So bring it on
