Trippier won’t be here mate. Nice little £20m to Saudi

Makes sense with trippier going in summer

How many have 2 strikers where one of them is almost always injured these days?

Might be quicker if you want to point it out? Or don't

Well quite, can't argue with this one. Perhaps we're missing that squad depth where a young healthy striker can come in for each of them?

OK, I've re-read. The post starts off as a "why are you blaming Burn, not Botman". Your next post then says that you don't actually know what happened before the goal. I take it our fullbacks being MILES out of position doesn't matter to you? We only start the blame part when the goal goes in? Your next point is that if Dubs reads the penalty taker correctly, he saves the penalty. Well great, yeah let's not blame the ridiculous decision to commit a foul and give a penalty away, let's blame the person with a 15% change of saving it. What do you want me to re-read here?

I'm guessing Wilson starts then injures himself for the next 4 games?

We can bring a half-fit Isak back in though, so that's good. Barnes-Murphy-Almiron as a front three might be interesting

He's too old for Liverpool. No re-sale value unless Saudi step in again.

Wilson being made of glass is a huge issue to us. We can't continue trying to nurse him through a season, it's far too much for Isak to cope with in this system. Stick Tonali and Willock back in this squad and the Joelinton injuries don't happen. It's clear a few mistakes have been made (which club doesn't?) but I think people are far too quick to dismiss the freak injury situation we've seen. Add the demands of the CL's and expected cup runs in, we were always going to be worse off this season. We're still a very good team, we just have far too many key players out to show it every week.

But that's the point. 2 of our 4 defenders had wandered off upfield. Botman HAD to make the move, as part of a 2 man defence. Our fullbacks had fucked off, one of them being Burn, who gave the ball away cheaply. EDIT: on penalties, over 85% of penalties awarded in the league are scored. Blaming Dubs ffs

9th I think. But I think you're ignoring the fact that we've had to do this very quickly after years of neglect. You can't magic a functioning football club out of thin air regardless of what you throw at it money wise. Still ignoring those injuries too I see.

In common sense terms, shouldn't it be a freekick?

Wasn't the 4th when Burn tried a Schar run up front, lost it, then Trippier pushed far too far forward? Not really sure why you're mentioned Botman in that Oh, and most penalties are saveable if the keeper goes where the ball is, no? Don't often see keepers just staying on their feet though, so think you're being a little harsh there.

Good luck to him then.

Which of those clubs can afford his wage demands then?

You clearly don't know ball

Is he fuck worth £160k a week though. He wouldn't get anywhere near that at any other club. I reckon he'll end up staying with a slight pay increase and maybe a nice little release clause for if Real Madrid () come calling.

we could, and should, do better

Incredible that this sort of thing is allowed to happen, not even challenged, but we can't afford a new midfielder when losing 2 for the season.

Yeah, I know, I'm just living in hope

Pretty certain he will.

We almost need them to bring that in tbh. Would help our legal battle no end.
