Saw a post yesterday saying front 3 of Mane, Bobby and Salah were best we’ve seen. They were excellent and may be.
However, other LFC attacks to consider and I’m sure I’ll be missing some here…
Barnes, Aldridge, Beardsley
Sturridge, Suarez, Sterling (with Coutinho behind)
Torres, Gerrard
Rush, Dalglish
Keegan, Toshack
McManaman, Fowler.

I’ve just been looking at the home kits for the World Cup teams. Argentina as usual looks amazing. I really don’t know how such a simple design seems to get better every World Cup. But I have to say the DR Congo top is delicious. However the USA? That is one atrocious kit.
09 Jun 2026 02:28:51
Yeah, the US kit is bad. It's like the Ryder Cup. The Euros always look so nice, and the Americans so OTT. They can't seem to go w simple and stylish. Loud and brash is the order of the day.
09 Jun 2026 07:43:04
Germany's is class.
08 Jun 2026 21:39:47
Liverpool only have 8 players at the World Cup. Alisson, Virgil, Endo, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Wirtz, Gakpo and Isak.
I know that's distorted by Konate, Robbo and Salah all only just leaving but I still found it mad that we have less than a full XI out in the US for the World Cup.
08 Jun 2026 22:22:51
I’m pleased with it and one of them is a keeper, so that’s ok.
7 outfield players and Endo is a fringe player.
So 6 first team outfield players.
I wouldn’t be amazed to see either Gakpo or Mac Allister or both to go, which leaves 4 first team outfield players.
Good news. 👍
08 Jun 2026 22:49:52
Sounds great to me as most get a rest and see the new manager.
Wharton
Scott
Kayode
Palestra
Zabarnyi
All linked and not there as well.
08 Jun 2026 22:57:42
MK....
You could have a Liverpool Starting 11 there at the World Cup.
Wonder how they would do against France?
Add in Diomande as well as a bonus just for starters. More names at the World Cup will surely be joining us in the summer.
I think we would beat them, but would have to play on the front foot, high pressing intensity.
08 Jun 2026 23:53:28
Endo is going? I thought for sure he'd be injured still? Looked pretty bad.
08 Jun 2026 23:33:50
Tbh I'm not arsed, I've only ever enjoyed two world cups, Mexico 86 which was my first World Cup I remember, plus it had the greatest moment of any World Cup when (during the France v Brazil match) the camera panned round the stadium and caught some very attractive Brazilian woman flashing her norks, I was only 9 at the time but it was utterly enthralling, the other was Italia 90 which was an absolutely wonderful spectacle of football and culture.
Everything after that has been pretty crap.
09 Jun 2026 00:47:01
Also distorted by Hungary, Italy and Georgia not qualifying. Not that that is a given, mind you.
09 Jun 2026 02:35:54
Not excited about the World Cup either. Can't remember the last time I watched an international match. Expecting lots of diving, play acting, time wasting, win at all costs tactics by some, w a large sprinkling of very poor officiating. All of that topped off by a load of s**** pundits (thank your lucky stars that u don't have to be tortured by the idiotic loudmouth Alexi Lalas) and rip off ticket prices.
This is all set up for the sponsors, the pundits and the players. Infantile did say that football is nothing without FIFA. He got that one backwards and would be nice to see the tournament flop imo. Time for another glass of the pessimist. 😂😂
09 Jun 2026 06:13:21
It's far from good news. I mean, your players can't be that good if they aren't playing for their national team can they? A bit idiotic to think otherwise in my opinion.
09 Jun 2026 07:18:16
I'd argue Robbie Fowler was pretty good.
09 Jun 2026 07:23:09
There isn't a lot you can do if your country doesn't qualify. Add the 3 leaving to that list: 2 for Hungary, keeper for Georgia, Bradley captains his national side. We have a full matchday squad of current internationals, barring the kids, Gomez and Jones, who both have caps.
08 Jun 2026 20:28:54
Appreciate it’s a bit World Cup fever (and we can wish), but how about Olise, Doue and Diomande attacking for Liverpool….. Think they would be better than Bobbie, Salah and Mane in their heyday?
08 Jun 2026 20:42:11
No one will be better than Salah, Bobby and Mane for a long time. Possibly the greatest front 3 of all time.
08 Jun 2026 20:52:13
Naaaaah.
08 Jun 2026 21:03:25
That would be an Odd line-up.
08 Jun 2026 21:06:02
I think Olive is overrated, Salah is much better in my opinion. Also, I think prime Mane was better too, Olive is a very good player, but he is excelling in a system, just like Dembele is too. Kvara is different gravy though.
08 Jun 2026 21:20:52
Would that be Olive out of On The Buses. 🤓
{Ed033's Note - "I'll have you, Butler!"
08 Jun 2026 21:28:05
Olive and Sarah having a girly night out with Maner and Bobbie. White wine n choclit.
08 Jun 2026 21:28:59
3x RW's? That would be some lopsided attack. What formation are you planning on playing?
08 Jun 2026 21:36:57
Olise plays RW for Bayern, Diomande plays RW for RBL and Doue plays RW for PSG.
I’m not saying it definitely wouldn’t work, because Mane and Salah both played RW for Saints and Roma, and Firmino played LW for Hoffenheim. Mane and Bobby moved to LW and CF, never looking back.
It is still strange to pick 3 current RW’s as your dream front 3, though. Klopp was a genius for what he did with our trio. Might never be done again to that level, to take 3 £35m players and make them a world force with 2 of them in new positions.
08 Jun 2026 21:39:23
Popeye won't be happy.
08 Jun 2026 21:52:37
I thought Doue played predominantly on the left, Olise on the right, and Diomande plays either, so could go up the middle.
To be fair, after last season, it couldn't work out much worse. 😂
08 Jun 2026 22:24:11
For 2-3 years, Salah, Firmino and Mane were the most feared front 3 in world football. These guys you've mentioned are just novices in comparison.
08 Jun 2026 22:25:08
Olive and Sarah wouldn't be having choclit, they will be having Salad.
08 Jun 2026 23:06:46
Remember the City documentary, that front 3 were haunting Pep in his dreams. He genuinely feared them.
08 Jun 2026 23:56:05
Defo up there in the conversation, but I can't look past Messi, Suarez and Neymar. That was God tier.
09 Jun 2026 00:49:33
Mo, Mane and Bobby worked because they fit together. Position, playing styles, personality. Everything was perfect for them to thrive as a trio.
Playing three attackers who all primarily thrive off the right flank seems like a bad first step to forming the next trio.
09 Jun 2026 02:06:54
I prefer Bobby, Sadio and Mo over MSN. Sure, on pure technical quality MSN probably win out, but Bobby, Sadio and Mo had athleticism, tenacity, desire, terrifying pace, plus they were ridiculously strong physically, could run tirelessly from the first second to last and impossible to knock off the ball.
Sadio would sprint and try to get the ball back off you when he lost it, and he did a massive amount of work covering for Robbo when he went upfield, too. Also Sadio was incredible in the air, something none of MSN can really lay claim to.
09 Jun 2026 02:43:56
I'd agree with Patrick. MSN were terrifying 1v1 but basically didn't press nor track back, at least compared to Bobby, Sadio and Salah. MSN suited Barca at that particular time (when they dominated teams), but our 3 suited us for pretty much any era in the last 40 years.
09 Jun 2026 06:36:04
Kvaratskhelia plays LW. Dembele CF and Doue RW. At least, that's where they play mainly. PSG do rotate a lot, especially in the league games close to big Champions League nights.
08 Jun 2026 19:24:05
Hi all
I think the younger man showing Iraola around the AXA was this Woodfine fella?!
08 Jun 2026 20:24:11
Just watched it on YouTube, you can't help but love Adoni, he was genuinely in awe and looked so excited by everything.
This bloke is going to be great.
08 Jun 2026 20:25:55
Gakpo just scored a penalty for Netherlands.
08 Jun 2026 20:29:32
I believe it was Diogo.
08 Jun 2026 21:04:36
I heard something Iraola smoking Woodbines, or maybe I misheard?
08 Jun 2026 18:21:47
So Ed, let's try this again: can we have a poll. "Should Liverpool take Darwin back on a free? " We could keep it simple and go w Yes/No or we could add some emotion to it and also add "No brainer" and "Not on your Nelly."
{Ed033's Note -
Darwin poll
08 Jun 2026 19:15:44
Well played RF. 👏
08 Jun 2026 19:42:59
Finally, a poll we can all actually participate in.
08 Jun 2026 19:57:28
Thx, Barry. I downed a full bottle of red last night, so wasn't on my game! No hangover tho, which is amazing!
08 Jun 2026 19:57:54
Ha 🤣 Or!
08 Jun 2026 19:00:59
Fair play lots of votes in favour of Darwin.
Not sure if this will affect ""Doni's"", "Ricky H"", Micky Ed's"" or "Wardy Wards"" transfer strategy.
08 Jun 2026 20:21:10
It would be a great story arc for him to return and do well. I wouldn't mind it on a free but if he didn't produce before I can't see him doing it now.
08 Jun 2026 20:26:00
Not free though unless he's playing for nowt.
08 Jun 2026 20:47:20
That's a good effort, Redflyer. What were you drinking.
08 Jun 2026 20:53:00
If it was on cheap wages and free, I'd take him, but think it's one of those, he was moved on for a reason. Although, in saying that, his heart and drive would have helped at least last season, but he also might have got frustrated and got sent off a few times chasing shadows.
08 Jun 2026 21:05:38
We'd save fortune on new shovels and cow's arses if he rejoined.
08 Jun 2026 22:18:07
My standard go-to, Vik! It's a red, ironically called "The Pessimist"!! 😂 I always say we have a choice in life as we age: we become red wine or vinegar! I always strive to be a low grade tolerable red!! 🤣
09 Jun 2026 01:06:17
Let's look at who was managing us when we got rid, he wasn't given barely any opportunity to play, and he looks like a confidence player, and we have seen how AS's lack in the department has affected those not so emotionally charged as Nunez.
09 Jun 2026 02:45:51
He is poor at best, couldn't hit a barn door from 5 yards, consistently spat his dummy when things didn't go his way, failed in the farmers league in the KSA and has no other takers right now.
Exactly what is your obsession with the guy, it's unhealthy lad see your GP!!!
{Ed001's Note - consistently spat his dummy? He had one sulk, that is hyperbole to suggest otherwise.}
08 Jun 2026 16:14:46
Hi, sorry if this has been done. Is the talk of Nunez coming back rubbish? Thanks.
08 Jun 2026 16:42:16
We all hope it's not rubbish, Vansixtwo. We are crying out for a forward who has no comprehension as to the offside rule, in addition to not being able to hit a cow's arse with a banjo.
Not forgetting a propensity to down tools and sulk like a schoolboy, when the coach brings him on in the 2nd half of a game. We would be crraaaazy to pass up an opportunity to have all that again.
08 Jun 2026 16:49:18
He's too quick for our team. Doesn't cost enough either.
We want slow players that can't run and are over £100m.
08 Jun 2026 17:44:35
Comedy genius, accept Isak is very quick and so is Diomande - if we get him. Wirtz's brain is quicker than most, which gives him the edge.
08 Jun 2026 18:13:54
Alright Ed; where's this poll?! Nunez yes or no! 🤣
{Ed033's Note - Polls are started on new threads, not replies.
08 Jun 2026 18:30:10
Wouldn't be my first choice but if the club brings him back he'll get my full support (and frustrations) like the first time round.
08 Jun 2026 18:30:17
3 months of 'Is Nunez coming back', 'Would you take Nunez back', going to be a long slog for you Ed's
08 Jun 2026 19:03:38
Hey Rome, I don't think we were in a sulk in the game in question. He had missed a sitter, and then subsequently gave up on a run when he could have pressed the keeper for the ball.
He was just mentally shot. I thought Slot was wrong to criticise him afterwards, as it was clear that the lad was losing all self belief, and needed an arm around his shoulder.
We do need cover upfront, and he does offer something off the bench (as long as he is not on huge wages).
08 Jun 2026 19:27:24
Plus, let's not forget that selling him for £50+m and getting him for free the season after is financial s***housery that Real Madrid would be proud of, should take the sting out of the long list of players we apparently shouldn't have let go for free a wee bit.
08 Jun 2026 19:48:19
If Iraola wants him and thinks he can work with him, what's anyone gonna do about that?
For me, if this is legit and the manager wants him, then I can see why. If we don't want him due to past experiences, then I can also see why.
08 Jun 2026 20:00:34
Ollie, I have a ladder if you'd like to climb up onto the fence! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
08 Jun 2026 20:02:18
Always off side and can't score. Nunez Nunez Nunez... No thanks!
09 Jun 2026 00:52:03
Returning for no transfer fee would help with expectations.
He'd essentially return as a potential for cult figure status.
I'd take Darwin back for sure.
08 Jun 2026 16:07:42
Divock Origi has announced his retirement from football.
08 Jun 2026 16:30:34
Absolute Anfield cult!
Forever immortalised by that night in 2019!
Enjoy your retirement, Divock. Hope to see you in a Legends game in the future (if you can be arsed, lol!)
08 Jun 2026 18:21:20
Pretty sure he retired 4 years ago, he just forgot to announce it.
Enjoy retirement, Sir Divock.

08 Jun 2026 16:04:36
The club have put Iraola's first day on YouTube now. Just watched it and I am all in on the guy. Wanted him since last year. The look of awe on his face in the stadium and what it can bring to his teams was key. The guy showing him around, I think, will be the new DoF and is Hughes' understudy.
Told Iraola about two rooms, one is for the youth and one is for the first team, so even though they can train with the senior side they must earn the right to be in the main squad. Could see the smile on Iraola's face. Check it out.
09 Jun 2026 00:53:36
If it turns t*ts up, it'll be kinda funny to go back to re-watch that video and realize that it was all a bit too big for him. :D
