Can only judge him on what he's done in two windows, and it's not very good or much so far. Got the Slot decision right, so fair play.

And going back to his old club or his old league means nothing to me. Just want the right players for LFC.

Cos it was at another club, I wouldn't call it "credit in the bank", lol

As I said, it's not a good "start"

It can't take him 3/4 of a season to get fit, as was the excuse earlier in the season, surely...

The way Nunez is playing, his availability is a bit of a hindrance 🫣

The sad thing is, there aren't that many elite options available at the moment. Ekitike is a risk. Sesko & Delap are still raw. I'm not sure Cunha or Openda score 30+ a season.

Trump's base is largely Christians. PoC also support him despite his racism & Islamophobia. Both groups share similar values. Neither group opposed gender, ethnic or disability diversity.

Raises the Qs:
1. What/who is DEI for in 2025?
2. Is this an attack on DEI as whole or one group within DEI 🌂?

Reading through the list of initiatives #LFC are celebrating, 3/6 are about LGBT+ related. That's largely been the dominant trend within DEI as momentum following George Floyd's murder dissipates.

In the UK, Kick It Out's mission has changed to incl. LGBT+ issues.

Good shout

Good shout. Alisson brought him into the players' leadership group earlier this season.

Since he's had a kid, seems more mature. Also Klopp playing him deeper has helped round out his game. He retains the ball v well, which will help when you need your captain to lead you through difficult games & manage tempo.

In the past year, it looked like he was putting on some lean muscle. Club were very cautious with his health & fitness. Slot said it was the reason he was loaned out, needed fitness after 15 months out.

Don't think he has developed the required "presence" in the team yet. Or in any of the players "leadership" groups.

Will be interesting who steps up with many of the "old guard" expected to leave this summer. Jones as the remaining scouser? Lol
