I think in the summer Howe needs to be ruthless with this squad - it’s obvious where we need to strengthen - CB - LB - CM - RW - CF, the likes of Targett, Hall, Longstaff, Almiron and Wilson need disposing of - the quality and depth in quality needs increasing

Shocking this - weak and pathetic to a man

Can say the same about Gattuso - had some really good jobs recently

I am guessing he’s signed a contract for X years - if Man U make an approach then I am assuming it’s built into his contract that X amount is payable to release him early or to break the contract?

Feel for their fans - they made no attempt at the start of the season to stay up in terms of recruitment - sold their best 2 players in the summer too - not sure what Wilder could do

Ideally someone who can retain and pass the ball - a lot of our issues with the back 5 stem from us losing the ball

Solanke is a good player - sadly the Snglish tax means he is out of reach FWIW I think we will go abroad J David Sesko Gimenez Zirkee Gudmundsson

Jonathan David for me like (Sesko is my number one choice but David is canny)

I think we’ll go down the Sesko or J David route

Goals show is brilliant - always watch it during the CL (unless we are playing)

The build up wasn’t bad either

So last 15 matches and a further 15 matches still to play, the likely outcome is that we would only have had both Isak and Wilson in the same game week squad on only 3 occasions

Might have to use Anderson there when he comes back

Hopefully we get Michael Edwards - Howe was on his shortlist to be Liverpool manager before he recommended Klopp

Nail on head - he’s effectively number 9 if we go on the basis we need 2 players for each of the back four positions - come an injury crisis (which we are all too familiar with) he becomes very useful

He’s been on that sodding bike for ages

The ideal squad player - provides decent cover

Would sell Miggy - should have enough cover with Minteh and Murphy alongside a top quality RW

Miggy and Wilson for sure I’d even sell Longstaff if it’s means bringing in a 6 - we have to have a 6 just to give us a different look

No thanks

Yep - I was clearly wrong about both Ake and Akanji - just shows what good coaching can do also

Miggy > RW Wilson > CF Longstaff > CM Targett With some money left for a CB and LB Wouldn’t mind a forward too

Yep - save your legs and players - bigger fish to fry

Hmmm CB LB CM RW CF 5 positions for me - with Wilson and Miggy sold at the very least - and Hall not purchased

I’d prefer a change in system tbh - my preference has always been a 4231 - the personnel we have for me says 4231 The “2” - Tonali - Bruno - Miley - CM (one’s I suggested) - means Longstaff is redundant - to get the best out of Tonali he needs a partner - this can also be Bruno tbh - however we need a quality addition regardless - allows Miley to develop at a steadier pace I want my RB or LB to step in with the 2 to give us an overload in mid and stop us being done in transition The “3” - so many options LW - Gordon and Barnes with Willock -Joe - Anderson providing cover AM - Bruno with tactical flexibility to play Joe - Willock and Anderson to put the opponent off - I want a player in behind Isak hence I want us to move away from a 433 RW - Let’s say Bakayoko with Minteh - Murphy and Gordon as alternatives CF - Isak - Sesko and a young forward Effectively in Mid and Attack we are losing Miggy, Longstaff and Wilson and replacing them with 4 plus we gain Tonali and Minteh - gives us such a fresh look Doubt if we are this transformational however I think time is up for Miggy and Wilson - we need to go a different direction.
