Liverpool FC Premier League Champions 24/25 - Talk /Gossip/Rumours

I don't know how many would accept but I'd love to see the class of 2020 involved in the celebrations.

Bobby, Naby, Gigi, Henderson and Milner never got their flowers in front of a crowd, would be lovely to see.

Would be happy enough to sell Konate if he’s not signing a new contract and I hope we go all out for Huijsen.

For £50 million he could be the signing of the summer.

I wanted it to be over Wednesday, but that was a little selfish. I understand now, even with the title won already, that it is better to win in on the field yourselves in front of your fans. We were robbed of this in 2020 so getting a chance to do it Sunday is the best even if it not what I wanted initially.

We should beat Tottenham handily, they will be focused on the Europa League and we have been trending upwards with our own play recently. So perform on the day and the fan in the stadium will have a great day!

My only problem with all this hype about Sunday is that I remember for the first leg of the semi-final against them everyone was saying Spurs were so bad we would beat them 4 or 5 nil and they suckered us 1-0.

Factors for that being the guy who scored the goal should have been sent off and we only had ten men on the pitch when they scored so the game should have ended 0-0.

Why would players that are contracted to other clubs come back to celebrate a season they had no part in?

Forget about the last time round, that’s done. Would we be impressed if any of our players went to celebrate their previous clubs lifting a title, while still being contracted to us? I don’t think I would.

sure we may bring back Gerrard and Xabi Alonso for it while we're at it , Roy Hodgson too

Bottom 5

Imagine Gerrard will definitely be at the game. Klopp too.

Xabi would have been a great addition but not sure his fitness would keep Grav or Szoboszlai out. Amorim wouldnt even make the bench

I think it is a little unfair on Amorim if people think he would have had us relegated or bottom 5. Our squad is better than United's so think we would have finished maybe 8th or so with him and the transition to his style with players that does not suit it. United just isn't very good and add in a new style is a recipe for disaster.

Ah yeah I was being glib rather than serious.

I genuinely think Klopp would have won the title this year with the City fall off.

Not sure what Alonso would have been like as a manager. Might not have gotten the performances out of Grav but potentially could have gotten more out of some of the others.

I honesty feel it's hard to know how Amorims tactics would have worked

Very unfair on Amorin is correct. I think he is trying to implement a semi-klopp high intensity plus wing back system and they don't have the personal for this. We would have been quite well suited to his style if he came to Liverpool. They need gutting to implement that style.

In my opinion, Utd are exactly where Liverpool was when Klopp arrived, a broken, dis-spirited side and a fed up fan base not that long after a bad owner left (in my mind wasn't that long). Whether Amorin has the personality or the luck to get them out of that is another thing and whether the Utd fan base has the patience to stick with him will determine any future.

I know there'd be the same AFCON concerns but I'd be all over Bryan Mbeumo as our Salah protege. Fantastic player, really don't want him going to a rival.

United are in far worse shape.

Liverpool had a functioning backend footballing department(at the time it was derided as the dreaded transfer committee but it was 100% the right approach) and a team with some really good players like Firmino and Countinho already there, with Klopp being able to imprint his style of play pretty much immediately. Liverpool finished 8th but there was constant improvement in the years that followed.

United on the other hand have no backend organisation to speak of. They’ve spent years going after managers and just buying their targets resulting in a mishmash of players not used to any particular style of play. They’ve also massively overspent to the point where they ran out of money.

When they did look to get their act together with a sporting director he was gone a couple of months later after disagreeing with Ratcliffe, to the cost of millions. Now they have a young manager who did well in Portugal with a very specific style being asked to replicate that with players who have never played it, and they’re on course for their worst ever PL season, lower than Liverpool have ever finished.

Klopp was a rockstar manager but the whole organisation was responsible for bringing them from where they were to title contenders. It was years of almost flawless decision making with bringing players in, selling players for good prices, bringing youth players through.

Amorim might well be a great manager but he has a much bigger job than Klopp did and doesn’t have the level of talent in the background to help him succeed.

Would he not step on Saka's toes at Arsenal though? Plays nigh on exactly the same position, and seems too good/expensive to be a backup.
