🔴 EOTK INSIDER 🔴 Trent's midfield chances, LFC's summer chop shop, Gini as captain and Barcelona's latest ludicrous disrespect ✍🏽
AD-FREE EOTK CONTENT - ALL FOR YOU! ❣️
It’s Friday, which means it’s time for you (currently weekly, soon set to be far more regular) EOTK INSIDER - the Liverpool news letter by a Red, for Reds everywhere.
It’s not been the best seven days, with Jurgen Klopp’s mighty Reds failing to score against Real Madrid - resulting in our 3-1 aggregate exit.
We battered the Spaniards, making a mockery of our first-leg performance, but ultimately didn’t make Thibaut Courtois work too hard.
Since 2021 began, we’ve had 139 shots at Anfield, and scored just three times.
That is preposterous, in all honesty…
So without further ado, here’s your TOP FIVE STORIES to mull over, share, and do what you please with - totally ad-free.

Gini Wijnaldum should absolutely NOT be captain at the moment. The man is leaving and it’s plain wrong…
That’s the opinion of EOTK columnist and former left-back Jose Enrique, anyway. He’s probably got a point, hasn’t he? Enrique also reckons VAR has turned refs into the Uber Drivers who rely on Google Maps, amongst other absolute Golden Takes. It’s well worth checking out.
Liverpool are planning a summer clear out to afford new players - but who’s on the exit list?
There’s probably ten players we can sell this summer without affecting the first-team. Maybe more. And with finances tight, Michael Edwards will need to work his magic so we can buy both Konate and Kabak.
Trent Alexander-Arnold would be more likely to play in midfield for Guardiola than Klopp, says Rio
What is this fascination with Trent in midfield? He’s the best on the planet at right-back. Nobody forces force Erling Haaland to centre-back, because he has all the traits to be brilliant there.
It’s weird.
Kylian Mbappe has decided that IF he’s moving to England - it’s Liverpool or nothing
If only we were run by an oligarch, or a petro-state, eh? On second thoughts, absolutely not. Still, the fact we’re run sustainably while others plough obscene, potentially unfairly gained wealth, into their clubs, likely rules us out of any moves for Mbappe or Haaland. Which is a shame, because Kylian would bite our hands off, provided it was holding a briefcase marked £600k/week…
And finally…
Barca’s treatment of Coutinho has become so brutal, this is how they’ve decided to photoshop him into the squad pic…
Yeah, yeah - he’s not a Red anymore. He made his own bed. He continues to lie in it. But my word, isn’t it sad what happened to Phil? How can Barca do him so dirty?!
