David this is the best LFC channel - dont sell out like redmentv or even TAW. Making content for contents sake and it being 99% drivel

I really enjoy these kind of videos. Great to get more of a back story and insight into people behind Liverpool

I almost forgot there's my own club's matters to keep an eye on and that there's life outside of the Manchester City scandal! Thanks for the upload, David!

It's definitely worth reminding people that subscribing is free. I used YouTube for ages without 'subscribing' to my favourite channels because the word suggests a financial commitment.

Any incoming players will always be somewhat of a gamble, so I guess as long as the ones that don’t work are few and far between, that’s a win. I hope he can get us getting back to being a club that sells well as it’s a great way to balance the books.

@David: I really appreciate your channel and follow it regularly. Good, well-researched information, interesting topics, calm professionalism without sensationalism. All in all, fantastic and for me without any doubt the best LFC channel that exists! 👏👏 Thank you for that and best of luck for the future – and I'm sure you'll reach the 50,000 subscriber mark soon! 🤞👍 Best regards from Vienna

Personally I think that, as long as things settle and Ward can (and does) get on with his job, we've probably made a good choice.
His familiarity with the club, the job and the task at hand counts for an awful lot really.
Fingers crossed eh?
Cheers Mr Lynch!
👍👍👍

Good video David. Any idea how long Julian Ward's contract is? I think that would be telling in terms of possible new owners coming next year

To me, all of Julian Ward's signings worked. Darwin Nunez just like Florian Wirtz faced price pressure. Also Nunez came in the summer that city signed Halaand which hyped Liverpool fans to compare instead of perceiving the man as himself not Halaand's competitor. Offside calls for Nunez worried me more than missing sitters. Strikers miss chances.

Thanks for this video. Julian Ward also needs to address the goalkeeper situation. Personally, I want Alisson to stay. I don’t see anyone out there who’s better and available, so why let him leave? If Alisson wants to stay, let him stay. For Ngumoha, I don’t think the signing of Barcola will have helped in those negotiations. But I’m not sure Arsenal is the place either, Konsa and Guimarães are not regulars. I think we’ll have to see what happens in the 2nd half of the season.

I think it's a great appointment & makes a lot of sense. We definitely need to tie Virgil down to a new deal asap for two years imo. However, I'd wait on Alisson to see if he remains fit for the majority of the season before considering a year's extension, if he wants to stay of course. In an ideal world I'd like us to get a top class RW & Camara in January but that's probably only likely if we sell Endo & Chiesa at the same time & I don't see all that happening in January.

Will we sign Araujo he along with Jacquet has been solid

Continuity, stability, familiarity. Richard Hughes was a massive mistake.

Been subscribed since day one. To grow you need to start doing build ups with opposition channels. Get collabs with different opposition channels and more exposure with the likes of TAW and redmen and ask them to shout you out.

I wouldn’t give VVD a new contract, I’d focus on the future without him. Jacquet has been reminding him what defending is this season and not just running backwards
