Wanting him out is daft. He does need to sort this though, and quickly.

Does anyone genuinely want him out?

Kipp and Riss are edging towards this, it appears.

I'm genuinely not arsed. If he sorts it out which I hope he does, then great. If he doesn't, then the club will continue as it always has. My mate who was my best man is a typical dyed-in-the-wool Scouser. He was in tears when Klopp announced he was leaving and couldn't comprehend life at Liverpool without him. Now though under Slot, it's Jurgen who? Such is football.

And such is Villa we would go for someone polar opposite to Emery and end up with Rooney!

Yeah, people do go way over the top sadly. It's not great at the minute (in the league anyway) as we all know but this 'what a crap 2024' is just miserable trolling nonsense.

Its not " misreable trolling nonsense"

Its factually true if you compare 2024 to 2023 results Can you stop saying its trolling when people are just expressing their opinion. If its different to yours thats not trolling.

Thanks 👍

Then try saying its a poor season instead of a poor 2024. And it is trolling if you keep saying it over and over again.

Ive just explained the point. Its fact that results wise 2024 has been worse than 2023. If you dint believe me look it up. I am not saying it over and over either.

Furthermore its not just me saying it. Anyone be truelful or has reserached it knows 2024 has been pretty awful in terms of league results compared to 2023.

The rare standout wins this ywar were munich and arsenal away.

In 2023 we beat arsenal city chelsea spurs, battered brighton and Everton.

We have only beaten everton out of those sides in 2024 and that wasnt exactly convincing.

Its generally been a bad year results wise and performances have been not as good consistently like 2023

Results is also down to the qualities of the players. Today we had to start with Philogene and we have a lot of players in the first eleven that not cost much by PL standards.

We didn't "have" to start with Philogene. Emery chose that stroke of genius.

I’d be super wary about being happy to see Unai go. He has raised us way above anything we’ve been for a long time - he’s going through a rough patch, but there’s every chance that if he leaves we’ll regress.

Look at Chelsea though, their new manager has come in and done incredible . Sometimes it just needs a fresh set of eyes and approach . This is football , working with footballers, not nuclear physicists or professors

Might need to cash in on some big names while their value is still high and let the rebuild begin .

Yep. I would reluctantly look to cash in duran.  If someone bids 70m upwards id sell because we could really add at least 2 quality players with that.
I don’t get the mentality where someone looks at our transfer dealings over the past 12 months then says “yeah we should sell one of our players who actually looks decent so we can do a bit more of that!”

As i said above duran is a high value player. Its a reluctant sale but he is offering virtually nothing at the moment and we have to look at the bigger picture we need better players and they are not cheap.  So to furfill FFP we have to look at who we can sell to furfill that like we did with diaby.

Duran has massive potnetial but we need players in key positions more.

If we were doing so badly this year then we wouldnt have to do this. Unfortunately  thats the position we find ourselves at the moment

Nobody would be happy about seeing him go. But you said he needs to turn it round quickly. How quickly exactly? One, three, seven games? How many? And what if he doesn't?

Chelsea has spent billions together with their fresh set of eyes, has to be counted in
