One of Ten Hag’s funnier quotes came yesterday, when talking about the work that needs done at Utd. “I’m not Harry Potter”

Very impressed with Slot so far. He’s got this group of players motivated again after everything that happened at the end of last season. They all look like they are enjoying playing their football. There is a difference sense of control than there was under Jurgen. We look more solid defensively and the midfield have worked a treat so far. Looking forward to see how we match up against City and Arsenal but I think we are going to be close again this season.

Salah has said that nobody has contacted him about a new contract. That is piss poor from Richard Hughes & co. Get a contract in front of him right now and let’s stop pissing about. I can understand Trent and Virgil not being offered one with them being at the Euro’s but Salah has been here all summer long, so there’s no excuse not to have it sorted out one way or another by now.

Piss easy. I was generous and gave them a goal in my 3-1 prediction. They are fucking awful, and VanNistelrooy will be manager by Christmas. Dominant from us, and we could have made it embarrassing. But still, you can’t argue with 9/9 points.

Sooner slap head fucks off the better.

Nat Phillips has went out on loan to Derby

Terminator: Zero - 6.5/10 Ended up watching the whole thing yesterday. Has some cool ideas and some of the action is great. A lot of the series is the usual talk talk talk that you get with most anime, and not enough actual action and dread. Still enjoyed it, but if they do more I want to see more of the terminators in action. Also, there are moments where the animation looks great but also some really off putting moments as well. I absolutely hate the cel shaded/ 3D animation that is sometimes used in traditional animation. It’s jarring and shit.

I doubt he signs a new deal.

For the price you can’t argue. Was worth five times that amount about 18 months back.

The last part is a good point, but I also think we could have beaten them to titles another once or twice if FSG hadn’t sat on their laurels with the teams. They rightly had the believe in Klopp to compete with the best, but at times he had one hand tied behind his back. Can’t help but feel like it was a wasted opportunity at times. I think this team has some holes that can be plugged with a couple of player incomings. If you asked ten Liverpool fans, I’d say 8/10 of them would give you the same positions that they feel we need help with.

Yep. Financially handcuff Wolves while Chelsea buy anybody who owns a pair of boots.

Load of bollocks. You happy with randomly trying to play Gravenberch in the #6. Telling me that there are no players out there available that can do that role better than him? You happy about having two very injury prone centre backs and a 19 year old lad as 3 of our 4 options? You just will not have anything at all negative said about this club, not a single thing and it’s fucking weird. It’s hardly the world that the fans want here is it? Just a couple of players to improve the squad, to keep up with the two teams who finished above us last season. Why is that so unreasonable to you?

Rando pretty much said everything above. If City and Arsenal can identify and sign players to improve their squads, then so can we. This inactivity is stupid as fuck, and if we do end up making signings it’ll still be stupid to leave shit this late. Not only do the players take time to gel with a new team, late buys cost you more.

Or maybe they are being tight cunts? Sick of these excuses about targets not being available. Every other team on earth manage to sign players, but we are the only club that struggle to sign their targets…not having it I’m afraid.

It’s not a panic buy though? We are needing a DM. We can’t rely on Gravenberch there just because he had a good second half vs Ipswich. Slot clearly doesn’t think Endo can do that job either. We should have a backup option if Zumbimendi didn’t sign. He won’t come here full stop, so it’s not a case of eating it out like we did with Virj. Go and put in a big for #2 on the list. Put some big money on rather table for Wharton, he’d be ideal.
