Why the fuck didnt we go in for him?! Man we were so fucking shit. He is fucking brilliant, like. Not even played all that much for Brighton and you can still see just how good he currently is and how much better he can become. We just bought a RB/LB.? Its also important to have two very good players in each position if you can afford it? A bit like the top clubs do, and that we aspire to mimic. For me him and Livermento are two top future fullbacks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaah, get you. I just think Nketia has more to offer tbh. I like his awareness and his movement as a striker in the box. I think he could be a genuine, high level 6 yard box/penalty spot goalscorer with decent service. I just think Origi fails to flatter, despite some of the important, last minute, impressive goals he's scored. They always seem to be when Liverpool are really pushing, have a lot of possession in and around the opponents box, and he's there to convert that quality, high pressure and quality service. I think Nketia can work with less than Origi does. Edited January 6, 2022 by Super Duper Branko Strupar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Nketia can work with less than Origi does. I think that's why he doesn't play much for Liverpool either, Klopp considers him mostly a penalty box finisher, albeit a very good one. When you think how much ground Salah, Mane and Firminio cover, you can understand why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't particularly worry about alleged exact positions like most. Take Joelinton in central midfield for instance. Its bullshit, good players adapt with ease. Obviously it's not for all, I get Harry Kane isn't going to switch to RW, but, for the sake of a RB who can play left back, I'd think it wouldn't be the end of the world. ??

But for full backs it's quite important that they can cross first time from their natural foot rather than cutting back inside. If Howe is that fussed about having a left foot/right foot CB combination, I can't see him compromising on full backs where it's even more of a factor.

Lush Vlad Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Is he not a full back. Well, a wing back in his current system? Should we not look at buying an actual wide forward and not a right back EDIT: Talking about Lamptey. Edited January 6, 2022 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's because we always cross the ball into the striker? ASMs whole game is based on cutting in,the current crop rarely cross first time, give me an example this season of a first time cross assisted? Not from a corner, I'd be amazed if theres more than one. And as mentioned Trippier has no issues on the left. Listen it's not even a thing, it would be mint though, and nobody would be complaining, bar a few pedantic positional numptys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 The Vlahovic talk always seemed a bit optimistic considering he's one of the hottest striker prospects in the world. I guess with us being the richest club, we are going to get mentioned with everyone, from Mbappe to Lloyd Kelly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be complaining if we spent a huge chunk of our transfer budget on a right back. When we have just bought a right back and there are so many other areas that need improving first. Not sure I’ve ever been referred to as a pedantic positional numpty. But I don’t like the idea of signing someone for big money, to play them out of position or convert them into playing a totally different role. So I suppose I must be a numpty. Awesome player, mind.

Listen it's not even a thing, it would be mint though, and nobody would be complaining, bar a few pedantic positional numptys. ASM's not the greatest example like, he cuts in too much if anything. He'd be even better if he delivered the ball in first time once in a while. If you want an example, Manquillo's cross for the Wilson goal against Spurs. Murphy's cross for the Gayle header last season, the one he rocketed in from about 12 yards out. It's not essential I agree, but always better to have someone who can wing one in quickly if they get a yard of space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
