We are the worst heading team in history

And can’t even counter

Stupid error.

outside of boot would have been in

Yeah it's a bit funky really - i was hoping the Willock LCM, Tonali CM, Bruno RCM with Joelinton RW would work too (and maybe it still can) in the mean time. But again, if we're in the major countering and not playing a Liverpool -- Willock as LCM makes a whole lot of sense and as much as it does if we need to break a team down. Maybe you have to play Barnes as RW and get him to do his quick give & go and roam him around the box to find space to create a shot too? To your point much better when we get a starting top quality RW. I also agree that Joelinton is perfect for matches we need his energy, box to box enforcing, etc. He's also a very good dribbler with the ball when he gets a head of steam and want to see him doing that more. If he's afforded space, take the space...just release the ball with more pace (he underhits a lot of passes!)

Never kick Nick, find a way to throw it.

Again, he supported it in the summer. Sure. But he also came out and said he'd relook at the entire thing. He also said for that specific window it would be mad to not support the work already done. How is that hard to comprehend?

You did. He point blank said that is the long term ambition.

Right, but that was the summer.

Turncoat on your Swede

X star player has a great game - press or N-O assume they will go or respond to a dodgy link on X and then cue people ushering them out the door.

for this season at least, this where I'd rotate Willock/Joelinton situationally based on the opposition. If we are in need of breaking a team down, then you play Willock. If we are playing a bit of 50/50 game then you play Joelinton, leaning towards either based on fitness and overall game plan. Eventually getting someone who is the next version of Cunha or Szob to play that LCM role with ball carrying, engine, and ball playing/attacking threat would be ideal.

You should watch the full interview then.

highly doubt Mitchell would support Elanga given the price required to sign him.

nah, Hall has been our best player this season.

Alex playing like he did v Liverpool hopefully becomes the standard by which he sets for himself, flying all over the attacking end of the pitch and taking the match over. First time I’ve seen him just mentally say “I’ve got this” and he was absolutely everywhere. All action total centre forward performance. Watching the match back I’d argue it’s been ages since I’ve seen someone do that to Liverpool and for it to be our main man felt very special.

oh ya, 100%. I’ll have a sigh of relief that our main backup CB/LB will be Burn at some point over Kelly. Hell we could go a back 3 with Hall and Tino as wingbacks if needed too.

What’s mad is Burn has been very very good.

If having 40% possession means we play with that type of conviction, energy and execution im all for it. I couldn’t care if we have 30% or 70% possession. I just want to see us execute a game plan, minimize poor errors and pick up points.

It's just much easier for us to attack when that ball is coming from Bruno to Isak who's running forward and into space. Bruno played Isak for his goal. Played the ball to Isak for Gordon's goal. Played the ball to Isak for no-foul in the box. All into space, all quick and decisive.

hoodie is def a baggier fit....(for me at least)

Basically get him to help in the first phase, get it to Tonali or wide. Get him involved in the final phase for the killer ball. If it does not work, let him recycle with Tonali and do it again.

Build the thing around Isak, Tonali, Botman and Hall.

He still made great tackles, battled Salah's press and played intelligent passes forward.

Internal fall out = presumably with club? aye, come on trips. Fuck outta here with that.
