Just wanted to say thank you for keeping this free to watch. It's a staple of my week getting me ready for the reds match day. Nice one to the Wrap and the German beer fellas.
I sometimes give Gibbons some stick, but his explanation surrounding the owners and they must be doing something right is spot on, we are top of the league. Fair play
The owners are decent but with a tiny bit more ambition we'd have won a lot more. Look at real; they could wait till summer and get trent for free but 1st day of the window they're throwing 20m bids in for trent because they want to win *this* season
@DH-TV the owners have an operating model which has allowed the team over ten years or so to nearly catch Ciy through a model with pays for itself. The model is improving all the time. Three contracts in the grand scheme of the total operating model is irrelevant. Just enjoy the football and let the club worry about what goes on in the background. It is the best we have been for a sustained period for over 30 years. Enjoy it, we are not Spurs fans who are never happy with anything
@scotti81uk29 "nearly" is a massive word. I don't think- baring in mind we've had failed bids of 115m for caicedo, 50m for lavia and 50m for zubimendi - that's there's not a bit of business we could do to provide a bit of cover at centre back without breaking ffp regulations. Konate was still wearing a knee brace in training, quansah is a young lad with potential but has been a bag of nerves all season and we're an injury to him or virg away from endo at centre back. Could slot "find solutions" like klopp had to? I don't doubt it, but it could be the difference between a loss and a draw or a draw or a win and we've missed out on titles by a point twice in the last 5 or so years
@@DH-TV let's see if they won off of a fair playing field after the court hearing. If not, it just shows it wouldn't have been 'nearly'. In the last 5 years we have three of the highest points totals in PL history. The only reason we didn't get trophies is because another side played outside of the rules. Look at the big picture
This game against Man U is going to be harder than people think, when Liverpool were poor in the mid 90’s and Utd were winning everything we always gave them a game, don’t get carried away boys. But I really hope I’m wrong though.
We have to be very careful their midfield will be Mainoo Ungarte and Fernandez. They have legs. Also for the first time Amorim will have had a week to evolve when in total he has had previously 4 days in total. We must be ruthless and not complacent and work hard for the win. They will be awkward aggressive and the crowd will be toxic. Heads over hearts. Those predicting a cricket score beware. 3 points is what we need without major injury or incident and I’d be happy with any score.
What happens with the contracts happens. None of us know the details behind the scene's and what are the motivations behind each party. Everyone was made up when Edwards and co returned so we just need to trust them. I personally would be gutted losing any of them but I have decided to just enjoy the football and hopefully god willing the silverware at the end of this season.
Would love it if somehow you guys could do this post press conference on a Friday, just feel like we do miss the odd thing from Slots presser regarding team news etc!
Who do real Madrid think they are? They've been told 'no'. We are going for the prem and the ucl, putting more than 1 bid in is trying to undermine and unsettle the squad, no player is going to leave now, while we are doing so well, a part of me wants to draw them in the ucl, knock them out, and shut them up. Madrid are always getting their own way, but just like city, they buy success. A franchise business club. YnwA.
They don't give a Monkeys mate, they exist to win trophies and also want to win the league and UCL this season. In role reversal FSG would wait and get trent for free in the summer and it'd look great on the net spend table but we might not achieve our targets. There owners are ambitious and it's precisely the reason they've won 14 ucls
No too sure about many of Mo's comments like he thinks Trent has to put his cards on the table. If you are negotiating any contract that is the opposite of what anyone does. TAW like every one else is feeding the "Trent" fire by talking about it. RM comments are their usual tactics, support ALL our players till the end of the season.
I don't understand why people are defending FSG, Hughes and Edwards for if these contracts don't get sorted and we lose our 3 best players it will be all their fault combined together, Mo's and virgil's contracts should've been well sorted out by now and we don't know what's going on with Trent, FSG are cheap and tight owners.
FSG need to spend some money on players. It is THEIR FAULT we are in this position with contracts. I'm sick of hearing about it tbh. The MINGEBAGS will probably leave it until the end of the season and claim its "like new signings", so they don't have to put their hands in their pocket.
Exactly, Trent is allured by the celebrity factor, he'll have random kids all over the world adoring him just like Bellingham, these guys are going to be the next Galacticos and it's nice for them really. Trent has done everything with us and we'll win major trophies without him and he'll win them without us so literally everyone wins. he's also young enough to have a huge career elsewhere and come back when he's old and win another title, we'll see.
The players agents also have a huge responsibility as they're trying to get fat commissions so also inflate their clients heads to make them feel they're value is more than they're actually worth.
This is the most rational discussion about the contract situation. The guys were spot on the Trent. This has become the circus which he’s trying to avoid. It’s hard for fans not to get emotional about the situation, him being a local lad and going away for free. Fans also need to respect his decision if he wants to go for that ‘Hollywood’ stardom like Beckham (which I don’t understand as he has already achieved that while he’s at Liverpool; he is on the billboard of major brands already). Perhaps he wants to be part of that all-star fantasy team. Who can deny that Jude X Kylian X Vinicius X Trent is the football blockbuster Real Madrid fans are dying to see? I don’t think you need to be with the superstars to be the Greatest Of All Time because there can only be one. Why would you want to share the spotlight with 5 others when you will be adored unconditionally by your boyhood club, who will make you the local hero, build your statue or even name a stand after you. No matter what, his performance in the remaining games will be under great scrutiny. There's a league to be won!
U 'youngsters' are panicking TOO soon, we're fine as a club, even ahead of schedule if i think about it, but looking at THIS team at THIS time, it looks like we have an extra gear if we need it , LOVE our trajectory,(lovely word) also, we seem to be getting FASTER with our passing ! a bit more 'one touch ' than two ?
Liverpool is never ahead of schedule. 1st place or nothing. Sad how years of PR from the likes of these have altered expectations of what this club has always been about. Winning.
Happy New Year. FSG have definitely dropped the ball along with Hughes and Edwards on contracts. This should have been sorted before Jurgen announced his departure, but we are where we are and can only hope for the best. As for Trent, it's his choice, but beware what you wish for because it might just come true. There graveyards full of foreign players who've gone to Real Madrid and Barcelona and it hasn't worked out. That's not even including the politics that goes on at Real Madrid. Flavour of the month one day and out of favour the next. Finally if he goes, even if he wins trophies, he'll probably be thought of as another Michael Owen. I hope he does stay, but not confident he will.
Thoughts on Trent: It's his contract and life, not the fans. He's won everything with LFC and been at the same club for 20 years. He's seen Jürgen walk because he wasn't financially backed by FSG. FSG have probably been low balling him for the past 4 years. He thinks he's better than he actually is, Billy Big bollocks syndrome. He struggles to defend, run or shoot, so not the next SG8 in midfield. He's ideally suited to high possession walking football in La Liga. His boyfriend🐹plays for them. Mayeeeeed are never going to pay a decent transfer fee for TAA under contract, they'd buy a proper defender, so this is his only bridge to them. Imagine working at the same place for 20 years, in a country that's gone down the pan and a club comes in with a big signing on fee, huge wages and warm weather.........All the moaners would jump at it.
No one mentions the fact that all contracts connected. They are waiting to see what they agreed with Salah as reflects their demands. They are all waiting on Salah..... Trent's silence could have nothing to do with RM
Edwards & Hughes = 2 🤡 these contracts are taking the enjoyment out of this season for me personally cos I’m thinking is this season a one off? Are we gonna win the league this season then lose 3 of our greatest players and be scrapping for 4th or 5th next season? I want us challenging for leagues for yrs to come this should be seen as just the start under Slot not the end.
It will take one bad game for Trent to turn the fans base against him and freezing until the end of the season would be expected. On the yellow cards issue I heard that effective 1st Jan all previous yellow cards are forgiven.
Trent is a Champions league winner, he's a Premiership winner (best league in Europe as recognised by many) he's part of the National Team and can command a decent wedge by staying. He's going nowhere IMO and nor are Mo and VVD. The manager is potentially the best since the last fella and who wouldn't want to be part of the upcoming journey, unless they are just shooting up a drainpipe for the lucre ffs. Up the Reds and further up plastic madrid. f*** em lad.
@ huge difference - if trent gets an acl now and is out for 6 months who will offer him a contract ? At the end of his contract would real offer him the big bucks not knowing if he will be as good afterwards - would Liverpool give him a big rise not knowing if he will be as good?
@@marksoutham3029 if he gets an ACL now, there's no pressure on Liverpool to offer him a new contract. He could find himself "on the dole" in six months and no prospect of being signed by anyone.
Hacks stir up a circus and then complain that its become a circus. Novel idea: stop asking the same pointless sodding question every day and leave the players to sort out their own livelihoods.
Simplest and most accurate take of them all. I’ve long advocated pressers being prefaced by ‘there will be no questions on these things until we have an update to provide - two strikes and you’re out’ . This isn’t a freedom of speech / press issue it’s just fucking annoying for everyone concerned
If Madrid are so confident about getting Trent in the summer then why are they offering money for him now? Maybe they are trying to force liverpools hand on the rumour of him maybe leaving? They didn't offer PSG anything in January for Mbappe.
They've got a RB sized hole in their team right now due to carvahals injury. They are ambitious, they could get trent for free in June, but 20m now might help then win the biggest honours this season. That's what FSG lack, ambition, happy to coast instead of giving slot some new additions whilst we're on top
I hate how there’s no accountability for these owners who time after time show their lack of ambition, yet a large portion of the fanbase just accept it. Trent has every right to want to move to the most ambitious club on earth. When he sees the shit we do every summer you can’t blame him for wanting to leave. Also the fact that Virgil and mo haven’t had new contracts yet and it’s January my god.. that’s just unforgivable imo. How can you expect Trent to stay when he’s not even sure the two best players won’t even be here next year???
Has the Trent thing just become a side show and quite boring?. If he was going to stay he’d have said already?. Is it true he reduced his new deal from six to four years last time he signed?. Maybe he just wants to follow the Beckham career path?. Unfortunately my gut says he believes his own hype and I’d rather he was gone now. I think fans would appprecaite him growing some ba!!s and being honest?.
He is following the Trent path which is similar to the Salah path in wanting to be the best recognised player in the world and Real Madrid is the Mecca of visibility so it makes sense that he should go and have a go at doing that after fulfilling all his dreams at Liverpool which lot of people have taken for granted.
Wudnt trent rather stay and possibly achieve greatness beyond belief,all fans know that real won at least 5 cups before british teams were in it,more uk clubs ave won it more than any other country,wat happened to coutiniho,the spanish dont even like us so he wont get on there at all,stay trent and become a legend😂😂😂
Why can’t these 3 multi millionaires sign a new contract - even if reduced due to age ? If they love the club / how rich do they have to be ?? No player is bigger than the club !! Stop making excuses for them !
Different ways to look at it. Regardless of how we see it, it is still a job. Imagine your job - and you're the best at it - said "thanks for your efforts but we're reducing your wages now" and another company down the road said "well we'll double your wages, give you a signing on fee and you'll pay no tax". There's a decision to be made. Personally I feel the club lack respect to these players. People argue that it'd break the wage structure, I'd simply say to any future signings "if you want salah money, go and break his records and we'll happily give you it"
Nunez - will Fail like last season ( he basically avoided moving , disgraceful if you re-watch the last couple of gsmes ..- nunez has a bad attitude, Nunez cant beat a man Nunez cannot take a pass bk to cb turn , drop shoulder and move/ deceive CB and score using the Skills of Boot 🥾👢 Because He CAN'T.
I kind of like the way Liverpool do things unlike Man City and United?. Throwing money at a squad doesn’t guarantee success?. With the premier league actually looking at PSR now a “Man City” scenario can’t happen like Newcastle would like to do!.
Happy being 8th in the net spend table and 1st in the actual table (and champions league table). You lot have been fuming every day for 10 years about the owners. Just chill out and enjoy the footy, Liverpool are alright. You have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes. If Salah and Virg leave then you can kick off, but pretty sure they wont. Bringing this league title home is priority, not satiating people’s transfer fetish
FSG better have a great plan B if in particular, Mo and Virgil don't sign new contracts. This facade can't go on forever and could contribute to derailing the Anfield Express and Thomas the tank engine too.😮
I wouldn’t go that far. He was brought through the ranks, coached and paid very well, and supported when England spat him out. He shouldn’t be abused but he’ll know his legacy at the club won’t be the same.
I agree. Absolutely no need for hate towards him. Wish him all the best. We should know better as a fan base not to be sucked into the media trying to make a negative story around him.
@ He came through the academy like every other player who doesn’t make it, they owe the club nothing. Trent was chosen because of his talent, his talent, not the clubs talent or the fans talent, his talent. The club did not give him that talent and without it he never would have EARNED a contract, EARNED his wages, EARNED his trophies and accolades. The club have already profited to the tune of hundreds of millions because of his talent. The club makes more money than all of the players, NONE of them owe the club anything. He is just a man looking at changing employment, from one billionaire to another, and you think he owes them something? Come on guy.
@@FinchStreamswho hurt you? He’s a local lad and has enjoyed being the scouser in our team and a role model for every young Liverpudlian with a dream. His talent didn’t get him on a mural.
at this point I want to hear the square root of naff all about Real f+++ing Madrid...we're better than them, we're top of all the leagues, and if he goes to them in the summer it'll be a huge mistake and an eternal source of regret...wake me up when there's concrete news...until then, come on the MIGHTY REDS on the football pitches of England and Europe...
I honestly don't understand all this faux pussyfooting around the subject of TAA and whether he's leaving or not. It's more or less obvious he's leaving for Madrid! If he was staying he'd be obviously more positive about staying when asked and be looking to compromise through his representatives with respect to lowering his demand. The only question would be whether Madrid take him in Jan or the summer. It would be a major surprise for him to leave this month, and I don't think it's likely as they'll get him for free in the summer and so would be able to offer TAA better personal terms not having to dole out for even on a knocked down transfer fee. Also TAA would want to take the opportunity to win a second PL and CL as unfinished business that City and Madrid have denied him of previously. If Liverpool currently had no chance of winning either it would a lot more likely he'd be gone this month, if Madrid really wanted him asap. If TAA has nade his mind up to leave in the summer and let Madrid know his intentions he's being a real shit (no pun intended) about stringing the club and the fans along thinking there's a possibility he could stay. The only major issues are how serious the club is in retaining Salah and VvD for another two seasons max.
@@lincolnwilson8124 This. All 3 might've put signing on hold to wait to see what happened with the replacement & how the club performed subsequently. Jurgen probably deserves just as much criticism as the owners for putting the club in this difficult position.
@ nope but too many are, now they even believe the media creating drama with Musk and loads of Liverpool fans on tilt again fueling the BS and media laughs his ass off thanking them for the clicks and likes
Just wanted to say thank you for keeping this free to watch. It's a staple of my week getting me ready for the reds match day. Nice one to the Wrap and the German beer fellas.
The peloton has gone straight to John’s head, he wanted absolutely nothing to do with that Erdinger 😂

100%
Was thinking the same.
Not sure I agree. they are actually a lot worse now then we was back then
@@MrJoNeS_88 Maybe but there’s also a debate that the Man U side back then were better than the current Liverpool team which would cancel that out.
We have to be very careful their midfield will be Mainoo Ungarte and Fernandez. They have legs. Also for the first time Amorim will have had a week to evolve when in total he has had previously 4 days in total. We must be ruthless and not complacent and work hard for the win. They will be awkward aggressive and the crowd will be toxic. Heads over hearts. Those predicting a cricket score beware. 3 points is what we need without major injury or incident and I’d be happy with any score.
Where's the legs in them 3, mainoo runs with a kite on his back and the other 2 are one paced as well
They definitely don't have legs, Manioo is so slow..
Mate they are snails compared to gravenberch and szoboszlai
If he manages to sort them out in a week, then maybe he is a genius
Ugarte is a slow hatchet man, mainoo is as slow as a snail and Fernandez is lazy. That's some jump.

They are ambitious, they could get trent for free in June, but 20m now might help then win the biggest honours this season. That's what FSG lack, ambition, happy to coast instead of giving slot some new additions whilst we're on top
I hate how there’s no accountability for these owners who time after time show their lack of ambition, yet a large portion of the fanbase just accept it. Trent has every right to want to move to the most ambitious club on earth. When he sees the shit we do every summer you can’t blame him for wanting to leave. Also the fact that Virgil and mo haven’t had new contracts yet and it’s January my god.. that’s just unforgivable imo. How can you expect Trent to stay when he’s not even sure the two best players won’t even be here next year???
It must boil your piss that we’re top of the league. Unforgivable.
We are as big a club as real madrid though
There's not a single metric where we are
The city is busy, Joe Owens will tell you why lads. Wake up.
Just win
Has the Trent thing just become a side show and quite boring?. If he was going to stay he’d have said already?. Is it true he reduced his new deal from six to four years last time he signed?. Maybe he just wants to follow the Beckham career path?.
Unfortunately my gut says he believes his own hype and I’d rather he was gone now. I think fans would appprecaite him growing some ba!!s and being honest?.
Quit whining. Enjoy the best team in the world.
He is following the Trent path which is similar to the Salah path in wanting to be the best recognised player in the world and Real Madrid is the Mecca of visibility so it makes sense that he should go and have a go at doing that after fulfilling all his dreams at Liverpool which lot of people have taken for granted.
Whatever he decides, I think the Kop owes him an unforgettable rendition of the song *before* he decides.
We owe the overpaid prick fuck all.
Transfer bollox ends 16.10
That bird is a 10/10 baddie
Yellow cards rule renewal was at the last game. So no need to worry 🙃
Everton postponement has brought this game into play, got to get to 19 games for the reset.
Wudnt trent rather stay and possibly achieve greatness beyond belief,all fans know that real won at least 5 cups before british teams were in it,more uk clubs ave won it more than any other country,wat happened to coutiniho,the spanish dont even like us so he wont get on there at all,stay trent and become a legend😂😂😂
Why can’t these 3 multi millionaires sign a new contract - even if reduced due to age ? If they love the club / how rich do they have to be ?? No player is bigger than the club !! Stop making excuses for them !
Different ways to look at it. Regardless of how we see it, it is still a job. Imagine your job - and you're the best at it - said "thanks for your efforts but we're reducing your wages now" and another company down the road said "well we'll double your wages, give you a signing on fee and you'll pay no tax". There's a decision to be made. Personally I feel the club lack respect to these players. People argue that it'd break the wage structure, I'd simply say to any future signings "if you want salah money, go and break his records and we'll happily give you it"
Simpleton type thinking process. 👍🏿
Nunez - will Fail like last season ( he basically avoided moving , disgraceful if you re-watch the last couple of gsmes ..- nunez has a bad attitude,
Nunez cant beat a man
Nunez cannot take a pass bk to cb turn , drop shoulder and move/ deceive CB and score using the Skills of Boot 🥾👢
Because He CAN'T.
3 pints left sitting for 30 plus minutes and not a sip taken. Are ye trying to tell us your main sponsor is absolute piss?
😂Erdingers shite tbf
It’s not a bad drop to be fair. It’s not nearly as piss as Carlsberg.
Erdinger is an acquired taste. But I think it's class especially tho in summer
8th in nett spend last 10 years and now can't pay wages wtf is going on? It's a disgrace fsg just hoping table position stops riots.
I kind of like the way Liverpool do things unlike Man City and United?. Throwing money at a squad doesn’t guarantee success?. With the premier league actually looking at PSR now a “Man City” scenario can’t happen like Newcastle would like to do!.
@lincolnwilson8124 Rewarding top players is different to overspending on tat though
@@John-se3fm how many years contract you want to give 30+ year olds and how much do you want to give a right back? These are not easy deals.
It’s great isn’t it? We don’t sign players and can’t get contracts done. It’s the stuff of dreams alright.
Happy being 8th in the net spend table and 1st in the actual table (and champions league table). You lot have been fuming every day for 10 years about the owners. Just chill out and enjoy the footy, Liverpool are alright. You have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes. If Salah and Virg leave then you can kick off, but pretty sure they wont. Bringing this league title home is priority, not satiating people’s transfer fetish
Get Richard Hughes in front of the camera and answer questions. Feel sorry for Slot.
John not like the booze?
Nobody likes Erdinger 😊
Neil 'the idea of' Atkinson at it today. 'the idea of, I can see why'. What does that even mean?
FSG better have a great plan B if in particular, Mo and Virgil don't sign new contracts. This facade can't go on forever and could contribute to derailing the Anfield Express and Thomas the tank engine too.😮
Trent owes nothing to the club or the fans, if anything we owe him thanks and should, and I do, wish him luck. ❤
I wouldn’t go that far. He was brought through the ranks, coached and paid very well, and supported when England spat him out. He shouldn’t be abused but he’ll know his legacy at the club won’t be the same.
I agree. Absolutely no need for hate towards him. Wish him all the best.
We should know better as a fan base not to be sucked into the media trying to make a negative story around him.
@ He came through the academy like every other player who doesn’t make it, they owe the club nothing. Trent was chosen because of his talent, his talent, not the clubs talent or the fans talent, his talent. The club did not give him that talent and without it he never would have EARNED a contract, EARNED his wages, EARNED his trophies and accolades.
The club have already profited to the tune of hundreds of millions because of his talent.
The club makes more money than all of the players, NONE of them owe the club anything.
He is just a man looking at changing employment, from one billionaire to another, and you think he owes them something?
Come on guy.
@@FinchStreamswho hurt you? He’s a local lad and has enjoyed being the scouser in our team and a role model for every young Liverpudlian with a dream. His talent didn’t get him on a mural.
@ He already achieved the dream, he has a new dream, are Liverpool kids not allowed to dream outside of Liverpool?
at this point I want to hear the square root of naff all about Real f+++ing Madrid...we're better than them, we're top of all the leagues, and if he goes to them in the summer it'll be a huge mistake and an eternal source of regret...wake me up when there's concrete news...until then, come on the MIGHTY REDS on the football pitches of England and Europe...
Nunez is too wasteful to start- he's better as a SUB!!!
Mo just waffles about nothing all the time.
New word: 'footbally'...FFS.
Over analytical hyperbole just for the sake. Thinking your all philosophers
Why doesn't anyone on here come out and criticise our cheapskate owners? No wonder Klopp left!
FSG are fleecing our club!!
FSG would limit their club access.
Take away the name ManU and we should beat them no doubt it will be a drab 2-0 win to the mersey reds
I honestly don't understand all this faux pussyfooting around the subject of TAA and whether he's leaving or not. It's more or less obvious he's leaving for Madrid! If he was staying he'd be obviously more positive about staying when asked and be looking to compromise through his representatives with respect to lowering his demand.
The only question would be whether Madrid take him in Jan or the summer. It would be a major surprise for him to leave this month, and I don't think it's likely as they'll get him for free in the summer and so would be able to offer TAA better personal terms not having to dole out for even on a knocked down transfer fee. Also TAA would want to take the opportunity to win a second PL and CL as unfinished business that City and Madrid have denied him of previously. If Liverpool currently had no chance of winning either it would a lot more likely he'd be gone this month, if Madrid really wanted him asap.
If TAA has nade his mind up to leave in the summer and let Madrid know his intentions he's being a real shit (no pun intended) about stringing the club and the fans along thinking there's a possibility he could stay.
The only major issues are how serious the club is in retaining Salah and VvD for another two seasons max.
I think it's time that Richard Hughes does his job or otherwise he need to go
FSG - unforgivable if they let our stars walk.
The facts Jurgen announced he was leaving November 2023 didn’t do them any favours with bargaining position?.
We don't know the players' demands..... no blank cheque please.
@@lincolnwilson8124 This. All 3 might've put signing on hold to wait to see what happened with the replacement & how the club performed subsequently. Jurgen probably deserves just as much criticism as the owners for putting the club in this difficult position.
@@lincolnwilson8124 Jürgen leaving was down to FSG going back on promising him Bellingham.
I don’t care that theres three to sort.
I hate erdinger please get another sponsor….and if Trent is leaving he owes us nothing but playing well for next 5 months.
Imagine being top of the league and having constant negative headlines about the club. Could only happen to Liverpool..Imagine being us eh? Thanks FSG
Liverpool fans are sad and delusional, there is more in football than staying your whole life in and at Liverpool.
So the whole fanbase believes that do they…now who’s sad and delusional
@ nope but too many are, now they even believe the media creating drama with Musk and loads of Liverpool fans on tilt again fueling the BS and media laughs his ass off thanking them for the clicks and likes
