Miscellaneous - liverpool thread

It’s you who cannot be helped. I didn’t once compare Wirtz to Salah in this thread. This is about you having a hissy fit for people not picking Salah despite YOU doing the exact same thing 20+ years ago.

Here is what you listed.

Was the main man in guiding us to the title
Best goal scorer and creator
Model pro
One of the most marketable players we’ve ever had.
He’s been the constant attacking threat (and normally its attackers who sell most shirts) in our recent resurgence

By using these you should have picked Owen. But you didn’t.
By comparing Fowler to Owen you did.
 
So you'll gobble up club PR for Salah but not for Wirtz?


I'm sure if this really was this home and he wanted to stay, then surely he would have accepted the first offer from the club that came his way?
Salah has earned it. Wirtz in a Liverpool shirt has earned nothing yet.

Liverpool begin their Premier League 2 campaign on Monday night away at Leicester – and that means it is a first competitive outing for Rob Page as manager.

Confidential was told this week that Page was hired for several reasons but the main one is his background as a senior boss, which will give the youngsters a sense of realism to get them ready for men’s football.

Page, of course, had a four-year stint in charge of Wales and steered them to Euro 2020 qualification after taking charge midway through the campaign and then led them to their first World Cup since 1958.

He also took them within a penalty shootout of Euro 2024 qualification and championed promoting young players to the fold. Owen Beck and Lewis Koumas, both on Liverpool’s books, are two who have recently become fully fledged internationals.

The Anfield hierarchy liked the look of Page given his youth development across his career – he has also managed the Wales Under 21s, Port Vale and Northampton – and see him as the perfect fit to bridge the gap between youth and senior football.

Meanwhile, former Liverpool Under 21s boss Barry Lewtas has a new job after leaving the club this summer.

He has joined the England setup where he will work under Ben Futcher and Tom Huddlestone for the Under 20s, while also taking charge of the Under 16s on a caretaker basis.
 
Salah's penalties. Article is a bit old, from March earlier this year. Looking at the diagram which shows the breakdown of his penalties on target, I wonder if Salah's last 2 penalties are down to him taking the pre-season games as an opportunity to put training to game practice in a bid to diversify his shot mix.

0/2 so far, but top tier players relish a challange and don't give up easily (if at all), so I won't bet against him trying the same again against Bournemouth -- and scoring this time.

 
Our U21s picked up where they left off last season. Lost 4-2 away to Leicester.
A brace each by Leicester's ex-Chelsea Academy player Michael Golding (19) and their overage player Nat Opoku (24)

Danns and Laffey scored for our lads.
Can't find any video highlights of the game yet though.


Speaking of Leicester and the U21s, I think we haven't paid them for Nyoni yet. Tribunal stuff again, like in Ngumoha's case.
 

Wonderful goal that. Game ended 5-1 in our U18s' favour by the way (against Stoke). Finn Inglethorpe scored with his first touch off the bench. He's Academy Director Alex Inglethorpe's son. Hardly watch Academy games these days, but I remember having a good impression of Sonni-Lambie in the bits I managed to catch last season.

 
Are they shown on the clubs website? I accidentally got the full membership opposed to the usual lite one. I used it for the preseason friendlies.
