    Slot's true colours on display this season. Now he has put his on stamp on the team its crap.

          ah, it's the 1-2 from earlier talking...

            Its pretty factual what I said isnt it?

            1. Zalk
              • 14 Years

              You have to compare two full seasons and the team is in 4th, which by definition means it's not crap. So no, it's anything but factual.
              But you're a supporter of a team that lost so I get your frustration. And you're supporter of a competing team so I'm not surprised by the comment either.

    Gakpoo really is a one trick pony...the inverted Robben is all he can do.

  15. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    9 months, 1 day ago

    Its like we broke Liverpool back in gameweek 6 after our win, they still looking bereft of confidence.

  16. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    9 months, 1 day ago

    Nearly Gakpo OG

  17. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    9 months, 1 day ago

    Isak is dire. Invisible except missing a sitter.

  18. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    9 months, 1 day ago

    Gakpo wastes Bruno A

  19. The Mandalorian

    Liverpool look more like beans on toast.

    Klopp understood you needed a mixture of flair players supported by runners who press and track back.

    This team now looks unbalanced.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Correct

    2. Nomar
      • 16 Years

  20. FantasyClub
    • 5 Years

    I have a feeling imma regret benching Ekitike

  21. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 months, 1 day ago

    Is the Anfield crowd the baldest in the 92?

    Certainly top 19.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Or should I have said top 20

      The main stand opposite the cameras is probably no. 1

      Long wait for season tickets and prices needing a decent occupational pension to cover it?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 months, 1 day ago

        Tbf

        The Liverpool bench with the coaches etc is reflecting it too

    Guess Trent was the reason Salah kept getting chances last season. He doesn't look like he'll get a single chance this match.

    1. Cojones of Destiny

    What’s a good score this week?

    1. iFash@FPL
      • 2 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      70

    2. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Safety will be 64-ish so anything above I guess.

  28. Count of Monte Hristo

    Salah owners, when are you selling?

    1. iFash@FPL
      • 2 Years

    Would be interesting to see Salahs stats before and after the new contract.

    1. el polako
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 1 day ago

      Before - on par with in form Haaland
      After - late Aubumeyang

      1. iFash@FPL
        • 2 Years
        9 months, 1 day ago

        LOL!
        He’s historically been a consistently good player. Maybe age is creeping up on him…
