    Surprised Firmino is still at Liverpool like, from both the player’s side and club’s side 

     

    Just doesn't suit their play. Slows things down too much and never makes runs in behind.

    It's like Van Dijk heard that quote that a good defender doesn't need to tackle and took it literally

     

    That hand behind the back thing man ... atrocious :lol:

     

    Rather my defender give away a penalty trying to block the shot.

    :lol: I knew you in particular would take issue with this. I get it, you don’t like him. Let’s agree to disagree :).

     

    Yes, sure. No problem agreeing to disagree on this :D

    I think it's harsh to call them even mistakes. Chelsea goal was world class movement, pass and first touch, not every goal can be stopped. Even the over aggressiveness on the Everton goal is understandable, they had a man sent off and clock was ticking so Burn wanted to intercept it right away. Just simply disrespecting to mention Burn and Bramble in a same sentence, the guy has been rock solid and has saved us this season with his inexplicable versatility to play LB too.

     

    I agree completely.

     

    Not every defender plays the same style. Burn is a very aggressive stopper.

     

    The odd occasion an opponent gets the better of him in those situations it gets pointed out as a mistake, but he stops a ton of attacks and with that same approach.

     

    Titus Bramble was a complete and utter liability. It was actually farcical. Literally had to hold your breath every time the ball came near him. There is absolutely no comparison whatsoever.

    Every defender makes mistakes mate. It’s not frequent and some of these so called mistakes were goals from world class passing. 

     

    I just don't get it. He does a million good things compared to the odd mistake he makes. Guy has been tremendous.

     

    I don't know where we're supposed to find this defender that never makes mistakes. Schar has made mistakes, even Botman had some tough moments yesterday ... really don't understand the issue with the guy.

    It’s the worst possible set up for his development, a loan spell with no game time. Sure, he gets to train with the big boys but who wants to get no game time at his age? Coming off the back of a breakthrough season?

     

    The mad thing is their results have been perfect for him to come on and get some decent time because they've been up big, but it's not working out that way.

    PSG winning 6-1 and Ekitike can't get off the bench 

     

    I can't believe how little opportunities he's being given when they are up loads!

     

    Seems the magic trio want to stay on and fill their boots with stats.

    Bringing him on was giving up on scoring goals, what's ironic is that Wilson seems so much better than him in making use of our long balls.

     

    Wilson just uses his body so much better and so holds of the defenders.

     

    Wood is nowhere near as good at it. It's why they always played him with Ashley Barnes at Burnley.

    When he skied that shot from 12 yards out after a perfect ball from Maxi, I thought “here we go again” but credit to him for not letting his head drop, getting the goal and going on all those runs 

     

    Perfect ball on his strong foot man ... I couldn't believe it.

     

    Great to see him fight through it and come back to score. How he managed to get something on that ball which came to him so awkwardly after missing such a straight forward chance I'll never know :lol:

    I think ultimately that's what you want, but right now we can't get anyone who can do that AND do the other aspects as well as what Pope does.  So we have him and play around his weakness.

     

    His quick throws are laser accurate and rapid.  I think cos of that, he actually disrtibutes better than Dubravka.

     

    Yeah, noticed his throws today. They were great.

    I’d also like us to go for a top quality hybrid attacking mid who’s able to play as an 8 or 10 or winger like Bernardo 

     

    Wew ... Bernardo is a different breed man.

     

    The only guy I can think of that I have seen play all those positions well that we may be able to get is Brandt from Dortmund.
