Joao Pedro could be a Bobby regen. 📊Pedro at age 22-23 vs Firmino at age 24-25 👀 That's Firmino in full flight for LFC too. Consider the ramp up in G+A a settled in Joao Pedro could experience at LFC. 40% higher xG created at LFC this season than Brighton.

What’s your ideal move from here with each of the 3, Lubo?

That I agree with and yes, particularly given where we are now, you protect the status quo. In my view, the likelihood of Diaz or Darwin going is inversely correlated to what happens with Salah. I would think we’re planning a future without both but won’t test wholesale change if Salah goes.

Trust that they get Salah and Virg sorted and just enjoy the ride. Trent is outside LFC’s control now. Shouting at the void achieves little, if anything.

Staying, absolutely. The elasticity comes from accounts with big followings that return to X for their engagement and the $ incentives. They were never separating from them lightly. For everyone else, it’s worth investing in building a following here.

A lot of moving parts. Darwin has not contributed in such a way to warrant being a foundational piece of Slot’s Liverpool. But contrarily, with Qs over Diaz & Salah, risk compounds immensely if LFC undertake a wholesale front 3 rebuild.

🤦‍♂️ It is this kind of behaviour - which was first championed by Biden - that created Elon The Political. Cause:effect, my friend. Respect cause:effect.

She undoubtedly believes she wasn’t allowed to be her true self this campaign, which - make no mistake - is even further from what Americans want.

When chatter started a week or so ago that Botman could replace Van Dijk, Newcastle supporters were in our mentions saying that Newcastle “wouldn’t sell to a rival”. Who wants to tell them?

Can’t say I have looked into whether the decision was technically sound, but was it a correct interpretation to say the foul occurred outside the box and continued into it? That is what they decided. If that’s the case, I feel that has happened to us countless times and never been paid similarly.

To realise maximum value, yes. To achieve maximum squad potential this season, now debatable. Risk might > reward

Can you sell Diaz on this form, Dave? I was all in on the Diaz is and should leave train in the Summer, but now? Seems an unnecessary risk to perform major surgery on a team that’s 8 points clear

Was a solid listen, Hari. Thanks for keeping me company in the garden 😂

Low hanging fruit observation, but unless Botman has a clean bill of health for the next 1-2 years, I doubt Liverpool ever reignites its interest

Not to mention twitter never felt the same after the engagement algorithm took precedence over the chronological feed. And so aside from all the other noise, this place feels like a wrong has been righted.

I joined Twitter 15 years ago for the sole purpose of connecting with other Reds and to have others to talk to about a passion. Where those great people go, I shall follow.
