Happy Quansah

When asked about Slot's decision to take him off, Quansah said: 'It's a long season, I have the whole season to prove myself.

'It's given me a kick up the backside, you could say. I'll keep grafting on the training pitch and that's all it is.

'It's never a nice feeling as a footballer to be subbed off at half-time but at the end of the day it was the gaffer's decision but it was the right one.

'It obviously worked because we won, so I can only focus on myself, improve myself, kick forward and move on to the next game. I'm staying ready for whenever it comes.'


Quansah is competing for a starting spot at club level against Virgil van Dijk.

The academy graduate revealed how much the Liverpool skipper has helped him, saying: 'The way Virgil talks you through the game, I've never heard anyone like it.

'He might annoy us at times but it's all for the greater good.

The centre-back was player of the match as England Under-21s drew with Northern Ireland
'With all the experience he has and the situations he's been in, it's only fair that he can share his knowledge so we can be the best players we can.

'I'll have to be one of the best centre-halves in Europe if I'm starting (for Liverpool).

'It's always been the goal since I was young, I've always wanted to be the best in the world in my position and so I'm striving for that and it doesn't matter how long it takes, I'm not going to get too disheartened if it's not 2026 (World Cup), I know what I need to do and hopefully I keep improving.'

Quansah knows the more game time he has at Liverpool, the more likely he is to earn a first senior England cap.

'The more and more games I play, it will come and it's about taking that opportunity.'

Momo’s Player of the Season thread

Now the season is starting to take shape, it’s probably time to have a thread for POTS.

Salah took first place against Man U, Gravenberch second and Diaz third.

Salah is in the lead after 3 games, with 2 man of the match wins. Gravenberch is second with three runner up slots. Diaz has a win and a third place. Fourth place is Trent with two third places. The rest are tied 5th.

Salah - 10 points
Gravenberch - 9 points
Diaz - 6 points
Alexander-Arnold - 2 points

Klopp is back

European Teams' Tidbits

Any one think Xabi's team will struggle this season as teams would have figured out how to counteract them?

Here we go...

Leicester escape punishment for very obvious and undisputed breaches of the rules, as they prepare us for when the really big escape is announced.

Is TAA worth breaking the wage structure ?

Lots of people think to sign TAA onto a new contract we are going to have to give him a huge offer potentially for the next 5 seasons. Do you all think he will be worth breaking our unwritten wage structure for ? I don't think he has been that great for the last 2 seasons - is he deserving of such suggested increases.

Pre Match - Nottingham Forest (H) - Sat 14th Sept 15:00

Going early, cos fuck the internationals.

Not a lot to say here other than its our first game in a set of 6 games in 3 weeks (before another international break!)

I expect to see our first bit of rotation - possibly linked to number of minutes played by those away on international duty. My prediction is that Diaz will get rested, and possibly also Jota. Diaz will play all minutes for Columbia so might need to be managed, and my sense is that Jota will be saved for Milan. In a way we are lucky that some of our players likely won't play for their national team - Trent, Gravy, Jota, Konate in particular. Although maybe the new England manager will opt for Trent straight away.

Alisson

Trent
Konate
Virgil
Robbo

Macca
Gravy
Szobo

Salah
Nunez
Gakpo

Always open to being wrong, this could be when we see Elliot come in. But last thing I expect to see is same line up, although there is a strong argument to get things back into 'order' by starting with the XI that has started the last 2.

First true test of Slot's mettle?

Well - so far, so good. 3 games, 3 wins. 7 goals for, 0 against. Life under Slot is looking pretty good so far.

However, this has arguably been against inferior competition - Ipswich and Brentford are lower-tier teams that we really must be beating if we are to have any thoughts of being a title-challenging team.

The Scum were billed as being the first Big Game of Slot's tenure, and whilst it's one of those games that you can never predict or underestimate due to the history, in truth it wasn't really much of a challenge and we dispatched them with relative ease.

So the naysayers might contend that we've still yet to see a proper test of what Slot-ball is capable of. Maybe you're already sold, maybe 9 points from 3 games and smashing the Scum in their backyard has got you in the True Believer camp - but maybe you still think the jury is out and we need to see how they perform against sterner stuff?

So this is what the next 10 games look like:

Forest (H) - League
West Ham (H) - League Cup
Milan (A) - CL
Bournemouth (H) - League
Wolves (A) - League
Bologna (H) - CL
Palace (A) - League
Chelsea (H) - League
Leipzig (A) - CL
Arsenal (A) - League

So, out of that lot, at what point - if you're still on the fence - do you say "Okay, now we know the true level that this team is at"

International Break - Sept

I hate internationals. This will never change. U21s too - as i'd prefer to see Elliot & Morton getting more time training here.

However, who is staying at the training ground for the next 2 weeks?

Looks like - Chiesa and Nunez only from the senior squad?
