Rusty Shackleford

Wouldn’t be at all surprising to see Huijsen go to Chelsea. You can guarantee agents are getting big payments to nudge players that way. “Now Liverpool were looking like the move to make but I overheard Slot call your Nan a slag”.

Not that bothered whether he’s at the parade or not. But he absolutely shouldn’t be in the squad against Palace. Yesterday was embarrassing all round.

I was in upper main and it was obvious when the subs were read out he was going to get pelters. Bringing him on was a mad shout. Loads were booing. Some by me went full blue.

Anfield is looking glorious here.

Can’t we just leave him out of the squad entirely?

To be fair it’s not surprising he’s going there. His mate is there, Spanish manager. London. I doubt he’d come to us with a straight choice.

According to?

Madrid have had our pants down for decades now. McManaman, Owen, Alonso, finals, beating us to targets etc. To think the Anfield Wrap lads were doing specials on ‘Mbappe 2020’, us thinking Bellingham was a cert and now this. There is a parallel universe in which all three are starting for us next season. I don’t like the other two and I guess Trent has played enough of a k****ead role in all this to be held in similar regard anyway.

He’s been a really good player for us but the flip side to his strengths are the defensive weaknesses. We’ll just change how we setup and be perfectly fine. I can see why someone wants to experience a new way of a life at the biggest club in the world but it’s how you go about it that’ll determine the esteem in which you are later held. A local lad who ‘loves the club’ shouldn’t be leaving on a free. It’s a s***house move that weakens the clubs ability to strengthen the squad moving forward. He’s screwed us to facilitate his move and inevitable eye watering wage/sign on fee. Mac Allister did more for Brighton in terms of getting a fee than this a*******. We may not do release fees but a gentleman’s agreement could have been worked out. A Liverpool ‘supporter’ should be held to a higher standard than an Argentine spending a few years at a club he’d probably never heard of five years ago. Hopefully it all goes to s***.

Not expecting a great deal with that starting lineup. Roll on August.

We do seem to get a few deeply religious lads don’t we? I’m half expecting to see Gakpo and Alisson going door to door in my street handing out pamphlets and salvation. “Have you heard the good news?”. Yeah fellas. We won the league.

He can deservedly be called a legend for what he’s done on the pitch but am I the only one that can’t be arsed with him staying now? Very much cutting off my nose to spite my face I know but i’d just mostly feel annoyed. The advert, the daft celebrations and the cryptic social media b******s can all leave with him and I’ve accepted it. It’s not quite Antoine Griezmann levels of wanting to be the main character but this hasn’t been good either.

Remarkable achievement. Champions League qualification would have been par and that seemed like it would be in the balance with the lack of signings. What a job Slot has done.

I can’t believe this. In just a few short minutes we’ll be one game closer to never seeing Darwin Nunez again.

He was absolutely brilliant for 18 months. I remember thinking we’d be ok with losing Suarez as we still had Sturridge and Sterling. When the injuries started racking up it was like the player that returned was 5% less able each time.

He tends to arrive at the same time as the players. (edit - beaten to it)

To be fait to Nunez, he’s done an excellent job of ensuring any goal related payments haven’t had to be made.

We’ve made about a quarter of our games seem like an unnecessary slog this season. Points total is great but i’d rather like to have significantly less punch drunk halves of football if anyone is taking requests.

We just added some gold trim to Nunez’s dunce chair.

Loved them. You can get an empty pot on ebay for about £40 if you are feeling nostalgic.

It is extremely fortunate that Arsenal are hellbent on being s***e challengers because we aren’t a great football team at all. We are a good one but nowhere near as good as Jurgen’s best teams despite the points on the board. We’ll win the league but have plenty to do in the summer.

Looking at threadbare areas of the team and using it as a guide to what positions we’ll sign hasn’t been particularly reliable under FSG. I can well believe we won’t sign a midfielder. We are always players short. Even our best squads have had excellent players backed up by lads several tiers down. I’m broadly supportive of FSG but whatever ‘making do’ is in Latin should be added to the club badge.

I’m very much with Slot on the offside’ for our goal. I don’t like a rule which allows a player to affect the defender and then nip back onside. That it hurt Everton in this case is a delicious outcome though.

His pre match Edam had fermented.

Predictable script. They sit deep and we do f*** all with our possession. Couple of passes and lax defending and they are in. Crap against this lot. Again.
