If we go anywhere near this valuation for Barcola, it will be nailed on the worst pound-for-pound deal in the history of association football. He obviously won't cost this much. But, they ought to knock about 30% off this price - otherwise he's staying firmly where he don't wanna be. #LFC #Redsky

Afternoon #Redsky! Some takeaways from yesterday's game: 1) (some sort of) press is back! 2) the 2 young CBs looked largely smart. 3) Nyoni is ready for good minutes 4) Koumas is weirdly exciting 5) Think Szobo's gonna go up another level 6) Poor Gomez A really good first outing. #LFC ##YNWA

This is the knock-on effect of not consistently competing for the biggest trophies. We don't have the pull of obscene wages for unproven players and London - as soon as we're not competing, it gets harder to get the best players. It will get harder still next year unless that changes. #LFC #Redsky

*Me and colleague enter meeting room* Colleague: "So we need to...IS THAT JOHN BARNES?!" *Me rocketing out my seat to see out the window* Me: "No, it's f*cking not!..." ... #LFC #Redsky

Afternoon #Redsky! 😉😉😉 #AFC #England #WorldCup

Morning #Redsky! It was never personal - just business. 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 #LFC #YNWA

How are we feeling about the appointment of Andoni Iraola? 🤔 #LFC #Redsky

Genuinely excited about Iraola's appointment. He said something that I just needed to here: "For me, football is about emotions". After two years of sterile calm, let's get back to the noise and energy! Could be the start of one hell of a ride. #LFC #Redsky

Afternoon #Redsky! Gaffer! Welcome to the best football club in the world! 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 #YNWA #LFC

Can't lie - I'll be P*SSED if we're not throwing everything at getting Luis Enrique. We have a lot of time to work on it between now and preseason. I'm sure he will be considering his next step. We should, at the very least, be begging the question. #LFC #Redsky

Beyond this, we need to start looking forward... Who do you want to become #LFC manager? 🤔🤔🤔 (Personally, I think there is one person who will come with the least question marks and is possibly gettable very soon...👀)

Afternoon #Redsky! The inevitable has happened. Slot is gone. The right decision. I said many months ago that there is no turning this around. He had lost too much control. This said, thankful that he was our manager. And, his tenure on the whole, will be looked at as a success. #LFC #YNWA

So I think I get the thinking here: Tuchel has looked at the success of Arsenal + the move of the PL towards more direct, physical football and how it's performed in Europe. This #England team is built to replicate that: be solid, strong at set plays, nick low-scoring results. It's worth the gamble

Afternoon #Redsky! Genuinely sad that Pep is leaving. At the time, I understood his rivalry with Klopp was amazing for the Premier League. But, now seeing where football is going, I feel like I still didn't appreciate that era enough. We're unlikely to see it again in our lifetime. 😔 #LFC #MCFC

I LOVE this from Salah. We can't allow this crop to dictate what the standards of this football club are. We are heavy metal football. I've said it often: we're fire - intensity, graft, passion, speed. And anyone who can't accept that shouldn't be part of this beautiful club. 🔴 #LFC #Redsky

1-1 #LIVCHE It's over. In every sense. It's over. 💔💔💔 #LFC #Redsky #YNWA

2-0 #LIVCRY It's the Freddie Woodman show. Lucky to have not conceded 4. Woodman has been outstanding. But, at the same time, he must be questioning his backline - who are taking the absolute p*ss here. Great goals by Isak and Robbo. But #LFC have to be better still. Game's not over. #Redskt

Two things can both be true: Rice is NOT a brilliant footballer but it's very noticeable that Arsenal would be in the mud without him. I think that fans are confusing influence with ability - and that leads to shouts like this... #AFC

Evening #Redsky! How are we feeling now that it looks like Arne Slot will still be the gaffer for at least another season? 👀🤔 #LFC

1-2 #EVELIV UTFR! 😜 #LFC #Redsky #YNWA

0-1 #EVELIV Somehow we're leading. But that half was summed up right at the end there where Jones - as last man - has tried to control a ball out the sky with the striker right next to him...Just extraordinarily stupid decisions being made. But it's a great goal. #LFC #Redsky

2-0 #LIVFUL A wise man once said (and I might be paraphrasing): "all I need in this life of sin is confidence and Rio"... Or words to that effect. #LFC #Redsky

Morning #Redsky! I know there are fans annoyed we didn't bring Mo on. I thought it was the right decision. I thought the damage limitation plan was right. We're terrible. Really bad. The problem is that manager has now shown he knows it and, clearly, can't fix it. #LFC

This is likely to be conventional wisdom. But, can I drop a slightly mad take?...I don't think PSG are individually that brilliant. I think the sum of their parts is better than their parts. For example, I think they can upgrade on Doue and Barcola. I think Neves struggles out of their setup...

Afternoon #Redsky! Having slept on yesterday's performance, I've actually woken up more downbeat than I was yesterday. It's been quite a long time since I've felt like we're this inferior. It's so bad that I'm wondering can we make up the deficit as quickly as next season. I'm despondent. #LFC

This is WAY too attacking for me. I might have even been tempted to play Szobo as false 9 for this one. IMO, this is a mad line-up for this game. I just can't see the game plan yet. #LFC #Redsky

Afternoon #Redsky! What are we thinking about tonight's game? I think we just have to go there with a mentality of not losing. Genuinely just put 2 banks of 5 down. Get away with a point or a narrow loss. That would be a good result. We'll lose handsomely any other way. #LFC

Evening #Redsky! I've just seen the Konate interview and, honestly, his words have made me believe that this team can still do something this season more than anyone else's - including the manager. I thought he spoke brilliantly. Honestly yet positive. I really hope Ibou stays. #LFC

Morning #Redsky! How are we feeling about Alonso to #LFC? Personally, I'm a little hesitant. Not because Alonso is a bad coach. But he has a style of playing that I don't think is culturally "us". I still think the coach that can get us close to what Klopp established will win. A lot.

Morning #Redsky! I said 4 months ago that the team is badly coached. At that point, I knew it'd be difficult for Slot. Because it meant 1 (or all) of 3 things happening: bad training, bad translation of methods or players not accepting it. All bad. All death knells for a manager. #LFC
