I disagreed that based on those 10 minutes and said I thought he was the best player on the pitch. What case have you made exactly, other than to say 'running around and getting out of position', which he didn't do at all in those 10 minutes? Just had to check your join date because the level of your patter is up there with some of the worst post-takeover newcomers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile Babel, Pennant, Zenden, Reira, Kewell, Almiron, Murphy. Often played Gerrard and Kuyt at RW because he could never get it right. Houllier bought Finnan and riise. He bought Gamez for us who played like 3 games. Glen Johnson for 16m wa a ridiculous price for Liverpool. Edited July 29, 2022 by neesy111 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Anderson is that far off adding goals to his game, strong in possession, hard to get off the ball, has the composure of a player 10 years his senior and gets himself into great positions. Really think we should keep hold of him this season and bleed him in late in games and see how he comes on this season.

A least his pace is a threat and he buzzes around and can be a nuisance. And we'll get some goals from the rebounds when his shots hit the post. Not sure hitting the posts behind the goal and further up in the stands counts You could release a chicken out on the field instead of him, and it would cause more nuisance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is we'll never really play the front three we used today all at the same time unless we suffer a bunch of injuries, and so we should be fine. The fact the team functions so well on the whole now that we still managed to cause a threat with that front three, and actually win the game is all credit to Howe. He really is something else.

After seeing him in there for the full 90, and also seeing how good Almiron was in there too, we should be fine as far as central midfielders go.

yiman Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 If he can maintain that confidence and level Anderson is worth keeping for the next half season , a goal or two and he could be this seasons Joelinton , really symbolic and and uplifting. Worst case it doesn’t work so a second half loan to help his development. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone was sick a little in their mouths when they saw that line up, it shouldn't have functioned but was much greater than the sum of its parts, looked dangerous going forward, held onto the ball fairly well, pressed high with tempo and defended excellently, just lacked any teeth in the final third.

File under the Cornet, Harrison, Sarr categorie of improving us but not for long. He held the ball up well, good link up play and a couple of decent dribbles. Didn't get any real service to score, so would fit in well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Reminded me a little of the performance versus Chelsea. We had a crap line up that day but everyone worked their socks off and knew their role in the team. Obviously we lost that day but you get the sense that Howe has drilled every single one his players to a tee. Can't wait for the season to start!
