Bit of a weird move from Liverpool, no? They play 4-3-3, they already have Gakpo as a flexible AM/wide option with technical quality. Can't see Szobalaszai being in their midfield 3 unless they're in an injury crisis either.

The bloke is absolutely shameless

At the very least, he could be a really handy system player for us in a similar way to Grealish's current role at City being pretty specific to the gameplan. He's got pace, a good first touch, and the mindset to pass-and-move which is perfect for Howe. While some of his defensive positioning is pretty meh, his actual tackling is good - you'd think some tuning of his defensive nous could turn him into a very decent presser.

Only dodgy one so far has been that he said Tierney was done & dusted (iirc) and it's seemingly gone very quiet since. He might still end up being right, like.

They're clearly currently very committed to promoting youth and did a good job of it last season. It's a good place for him to develop at the mo as he's already close to the first team. He's not even going to be 20 for a few years yet

Bloke who watches him every week begs to differ, tbf. He's only just turned 23 so we're paying for some pretty sweet potential as well.

Eddie will want to balance out his Brexit Mags. Next incoming will be a pure blood.

Get him doon Punto in Heaton.

He was bang on in January. He definitely knows someone at the club and he's open that he's not a proper ITK just gets dripfed snippets of info and passes it along. Outside of his transfer updates, he's a proper miserable twat. Soz if he posts here.

What happened to his good Twitter bants? Presuming the person/team running it have left.

There isn't such a thing as a 'Howe' signing at the moment, iirc. They've talked about the traffic light system; to progress a player, Ashworth, Howe and Nickson all have to give green lights for it to happen. That doesn't mean that Howe can't obviously campaign for a player and change minds though.

Howe said he's playing with a bit of a knock so, all in all, that was a decent showing.

Fucking legend.

Mitoma has been poor for a little while now. Stinking last night.

Immense.

Gerrin!

Absolutely deserved.

Not seen them since the Fulham FA Cup game but they look very small and easily knocked about here. They've done very well to finish 6th in a physical league when the average height of their attackers is about 5ft 7.

I think he looks either injured and/or mentally fatigued. This second half of the season has been a real load for our midfielders, like.

Murphy got a knock cause that was a weird call? I get the idea of Almiron cutting in to shoot against a packed defence but Murphy is much better at making things happen in the final third at speed.

Abso rubbish performance but a point gained. Feels like the Isak/Wilson experiment has knocked us off a bit, tbh. I thought Wilson was rubbish outside of his pens and Isak is going to struggle to build momentum with so many positional changes in a match.

Some tweaks and we can win this. A draw is absolutely fine though, to keep some perspective.

He had a presser a few weeks ago where he said he'd need to speak to the owner about future plans (think it was a question from a reporter about next season and squad depth) and was a bit vague. They've looked to be making moves ever since.

De Zerbi is intensely competitive and has been attracting interest back in Italy so it feels like strong early moves to persuade him to stay.

Do they have any defenders that even suit his style? Always felt his go-to for firefighting was buy massive defenders who can also nick set pieces at the other end.
