‼️ Liverpool Are Too Big For This SH*T £85m for Cody Gakpo is a serious offer. If Andoni Iraola genuinely believes Bradley Barcola plus a different profile on the right, whether that is Sarr, Minteh, Fernandez-Pardo (yet another left-sided player) or somebody else, gives Liverpool the attack he wants, then the manager deserves our backing. The problem is Richard Hughes has done almost nothing this summer to earn the benefit of the doubt. Liverpool have 3 days to replace Gakpo when it's taken most of the window to address an attack already lacking depth. Szoboszlai finished our first home game at right-back (it may actually be his position, gulp). Ekitike is unavailable. Isak cannot be expected to carry the centre-forward position alone. There are holes everywhere, square pegs filling them, and around ten senior players heading towards the final year of their contracts. That's incompetence. That's neglect. I went early on Hughes after the Diomande debacle and took plenty of criticism for it. I wish I had been wrong. Instead, every week seems to bring another example of a sporting director operating without a convincing plan, reacting late, shopping beneath the required level, and leaving the manager to make sense of a squad assembled without proper balance. If Hughes were not seemingly edging towards Saudi Arabia, the calls for his dismissal would already be deafening. FSG deserve their share of this too. They appointed him, empowered him, and have allowed Liverpool to drift through a summer where the manager appears to be accepting whatever is available from a late trolley dash. None of this is the players’ fault. I also struggle to believe this is the happy transition some keep portraying. How could it be with this much uncertainty? I want to enjoy Liverpool. I want Iraola to succeed. I want to be proved spectacularly wrong. Yet Champions League qualification currently feels like the ceiling, two games into a new era. Liverpool are too big for Richard Hughes, too big for second and third choices, and increasingly too big for an ownership model whose sell by date has passed. I hope this time next year serious people are running the football operation.

Richard Hughes walks into a bar. The barman says, “What’ll it be?” Hughes says, “Nothing yet, just registering an interest.”

The 70m earmarked for Minteh goes a long way towards signing both Guela Doue and one of Manu Kone / Lamine Camara. Won’t happen, but two of those three and Barcola added to our squad changes the landscape massively.

The thing with Indykaila is he’ll get the most unlikely transfer spot on, and instead of keeping it serious in the following days, he’ll tweet something like “Gakpo didn't sleep in his house last night.” 😭😭

Bradley Barcola, as consistently reported months ago, already rejected Mikel Arteta’s North London set-piece dependency project, his dream destination always being England’s crown jewel, Liverpool Football Club, where Anfield was not built from steel and stone but from the blood of legends, where every heartbeat still echoes through generations, where the river carries a red current of history, where destiny is forged beneath the floodlights, and where those who wear the Liver Bird upon their chest become part of football’s most eternal cathedral.

@AnfieldEdition @LewisSteele_ @AnfieldIndex He’s not interested in the North London set-piece dependency project, so I urge the loyal supporters of the glorious institution that is Liverpool to remain calm, there is no reason for panic.

Madame Celeste Amarilla, Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction. Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays. Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

one thing you just never could have expected was fifa, creator of the fifa peace prize, and donald trump, the only recipient of the fifa peace prize, engaging in transparent corruption

This is quite a fundamental difference between him and Lionel Messi. Messi didn’t even post about breaking the record yesterday. And immediately after winning a huge game Ronaldo is shouting about himself.

Oooooo look at me! I'm Ismalia Sarr, and I only score against Liverpool. Dickhead.

For anyone wondering, it’s only been a positive thing in Aus. No one even talks about it anymore which can only mean the kids don’t care. The ones desperate for it will find workarounds, but the majority have found better things to do with their spare time.
