I think we all know by now that Garnacho only really works as a substitute, and LR has already realized that. Why was George loaned out? Neto, Garnacho, Estevão, Palmer… just because Estevão and Palmer were on the bench doesn’t mean they don’t count. Neto is already back for the next game, so we’re well covered on the wings until the end of the season. And a Palmer who’s not 100% yet is still, in my view, more of a player than George. I’m not making excuses, but I’m also not as blind as you seem to be.

Palmer isn’t at 100%, and Estevão just came back from Brazil — with the travel, it’s completely normal he didn’t start. Gittsen is also injured. So it’s not “making excuses,” it’s just managing the squad realistically given the circumstances.

The way you’re talking, it sounds like LR completely rotated the team, but look at who actually played: Sánchez, Cucurella, Chalobah, Fofana, Santos, Enzo, Caicedo, and João Pedro. There’s already a solid base there, and it’s completely normal to rotate players in these competitions, even in the later stages. It’s not “giving up” or “not trying,” it’s smart squad management to keep everyone fresh and competitive.

That’s not what I’m saying at all. Of course fans care about trophies — but let’s not pretend every trophy has the same importance, because they don’t. The Champions League isn’t just about transfers, it’s the highest level of competition and the foundation for winning the biggest trophies again. Prioritising UCL qualification over the Carabao Cup isn’t “the game being gone”, it’s just understanding what actually matters most in today’s football. Wanting Top 4 doesn’t mean trophies don’t matter — it means some objectives are bigger than others.

Top players or not, it doesn’t matter. Champions League football makes every target easier to get. Any player, big or small, is more likely to join a club with UCL football than without. That’s just how modern football works.

People are acting like prioritising Top 4 is some kind of loser mentality, but it’s just reality in modern football. Even under Roman, after 2017/2018 we’ve basically been fighting for Top 4 more than anything else. The club hasn’t been consistently challenging for the league, and we’ve been stuck in rebuild cycles. That’s the truth. Everyone knows what Champions League qualification means today: More money Better financial stability More prestige Easier to attract top players A sustainable platform to actually build a competitive squad again That’s how the game works now. You don’t rebuild a top club without UCL football. If we were talking about the FA Cup, fine — there’s a real debate there. But the Carabao Cup? Come on. It’s not nothing, but it’s nowhere near as important as getting back into the Champions League. Only people who don’t understand how football works in 2026 still pretend that qualifying for the UCL isn’t the priority. A serious club needs to be back at that level first — trophies come after.

and we can blame them?? top 4 is much more important than a carabao cuop rather be in ucl next year than won this shit competition

what havertz did? I turn off the TV after the goal

they overthinking

LR could make the subs a little bit more earlier

lool why they dont put the ball in the area? too many sloppy passes

It’s a temporary solution in the sense that he was called back six months earlier than planned. He was already coming to the club in the summer — we’ve just brought that forward. It’ll be interesting to see whether Badiashile is ahead of him in the pecking order, but since LR already knows him, I do think he’ll play a few matches ahead Badiashile. What I don’t really see is much space for Acheampong, but we’ll have to wait and see how things play out. Maybe Sarr turns out to be a pleasant surprise and actually has more potential than Jacquet, which I understand choosing Liverpool given how many centre-backs we already have. It’s also become clear that the club will only pay big money for young players like Jacquet. Since they didn’t see any others worth that level of investment, they went for the easy option and recalled Sarr. The club didn’t try any other crazy move for another player because, almost without anyone noticing, the season is already well past the halfway point. They’re probably banking on the injured players returning and getting at least a few games under their belt, hoping that’s enough to muddle through until the end of the season.

where you read that?

We don’t actually know yet. The club’s idea may simply have been to temporarily solve a situation and properly address it in the summer. It’s not guaranteed that we’ll even miss Jacquet that much — Colwill plus Sarr already gives us a solid base, and if we sign another centre-back, that’s good defensive depth. Sarr also isn’t coming in with nothing behind him: he has more senior games under his belt and was a starter in a CAN-winning team, which at least counts for something. None of this guarantees success, but right now the only honest position is to wait and see.

Good news

maybe sarr is better than jacquet

loool jesus christ what we are doing? lol

jacquet choose liverpool, anyway

Even so, it’s a very risky bet by Liverpool. Just a year ago he was playing in the second division. He’s a project player

I think this last twitter sums all the situation and how can we judge Jacquet? Probably Liverpool offer him a starter role Colwill, Acheampong, Fofana/Chalobah and Sarr...

eheh same old story

: (

You need to accept me. deal with it

the first two season were good, not a top goalscore but a center forward that contributed a lot in our offensive attack

Yes I think he is gone one day to Marseille For him, he can go. He is a good player but too much injury prone and if we can get a good money for him, we can sell him the truth is that he only has 25 years old ,so he is young, so we can demand a lof of money and I really have doubt that Marseille can afford him
