Was kidnapped by gorillas apparently - it’s bananas when you think of it

I’d be gutted if we ever bought Neco Williams

Such a similar player - hopefully he is shown a few videos of the master - such a great player for him to learn a few things from

Needless thread bump - having watched quite a few videos because I am so bored - I really do like to look of Koopmeiners from Atalanta - seems to fit the profile of player we need

What we looking at here? 4 months?

I know a few people on here say we are well stocked for midfielders, the reality is that we aren’t (that’s just my own view) - we are still 1 short - ideally a mix between Bruno and Tonali - For me this could be the player that elevates us to a higher level We won’t get Barrella - but that’s the sort of profile I would love - how many are out there? Can we buy and mould someone? I do think in the winter/summer we will buy a CB - CM and an all round attacker, plus Minteh - then we are seriously cooking

We had to use Man U away to give Longstaff and Wilson a bit of training - I remember post match Wilson getting another 20-30 mins in

Show me a team in Europe that’s had a run like that in the first 3 months in addition to a long list of injuries It’s insane - I can’t ask of anything more from our guys - left it all out there

Pretty much my feeling on this - we are very inexperienced at this level - we’ve played league cup - PL - CL in the space of 7 days - physically tough matches - next to no preparation - lack of selection consistency due to injuries It’s November and we’ve already played Man C x2 Dortmund x2 PSG AC Milan Arsenal Liverpool Man Utd Aston Villa Brighton West Ham all teams in Europe Give it 12-18 months when we have the depth and experience we will be better for this experience

They won the title with no forward

No, Liverpool have attackers who can play all 3 positions Nunez - Diaz - Gakpo - Jota - Salah

Might aswell be injured now have come back with Isak after the break 100% need another forward option

Play Tino LB and Trippier RB for me - no point playing Tripps LB when he looks so uncomfortable

Said it a few times, he reminds me so much of Zanetti (obviously nowhere near that level but the style is so similar)

Don’t blame on Romero, don’t blame it on the ref, blame it on Udogie

The Xmas fixtures are pure overkill imo - don’t need to have so many - save 1 for Jan at the very least Think the internationals in Oct/Nov come at a poor time - creates a backlog

I’ve seen Tino play in CM before - he’s isn’t that bad - got the technical ability to play the odd match if we are desperate

Defensively we are ok I suppose in so much as we at least have some form of cover in Tino - Hall - Krafth and Dummett The 2 week break may be a blessing in terms of physical recovery - at some point in Dec you feel that Hall/Krafth/Dummett may need to start a match or two - who knows when Botman is back Midfield/Upfront - this is going to tough - Basically Bruno/Joe/Joe and Longstaff with Miley and Ritchie Physically Gordon and Miggy worry me - we may see them rotated with the Joes and Isak come Dec This is where EH earns his money - it’s such a brutal schedule in Dec

Really is a canny payer Gibbs-White - technically really good

What was worse - the VAR call or Arsenal trying to join the Super League?

Ah took a gamble on Murphy that’s 3 months

Have previous Burn and Harvetz

Think I a more comfortable with the current version of Lascelles playing CB - Burn tends to overpress at times and leaves the occasional gap in behind

You might have something similar to Ollie Pope (the cricketer) his shoulder seems to pop out a lot too

Played there before has Tino - so it’s not unfamiliar By the looks of it he’s more versatile than Hall - but is a few years older than him and slightly more experienced
