Longstaff maybe with Joelinton and Willock in the middle and Gordon on the wing? Eddie loves Longstaff though doesn't he Does he have to replace anyone in that way ? Could we pick a starting 11 on a game by game basis depending on the opposition, tactics, rotation etc ? We may end up without a first choice starting 11.

Jonas Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Some assuagement The only transfer we've not aced was a needs must panic buy and they've monitored Gordon for a good while. We definitely needed an injection If he gets into the situations that Murphy has gotten into and with his pace he should, there will be a significant increase in positive outcomes it has to be said. As it stands were better now than were. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Not going to pretend I'm delighted like. Don't think he's that good, think he's overpriced and certain we could have bought a better player who could have transformed the way we play. But I'm not going to bang on about it and hope he fits in and hits the ground running and improves us. He'll sign tomorrow and I genuinely hope he's class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 We’ve become a high pressing and high intensity team under Howe. The signing makes perfect sense and I think folk will be pleasantly surprised just how good this lad is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Imagine a transfer window of Gordon and Maddison coming in, holy shitbags, that's some serious intent! I assume they'd replace Willock and Longstaff (and I say 'replace', more that they'd be moved to being squad players, giving us much more strength in depth'. Not sure where it'd leave ASM though, I mean I can't imagine him being content with being a squad player for much longer) Edited January 27, 2023 by Armchair Pundit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Fuck it, I was dead aginst this. For no real reason other than I thought he was trouble and really dont like his attitude.... Reflected a bit - he has been there since 11, they are in the shit, he is getting shit - of course your form drops off. He needs to get away from all that shit and might shine, might flop. Pretty sure under Howe, he will shine. If it happens, give him time... he could be amazing without the shackles... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Just think of the chances he'll get playing for us and our style compared to evertons troglodyte brand. He'll be banging them in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanishGeordie Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 After the way they've treated him, I'm glad he's getting away from that toxic lot.

Although I have certain reservations about the priority of the signing over a midfield all rounder. It would be hypocritical of me not to acknowledge he’s a great fit for the way we are playing Now. Much better than I feel Maddison would. Guessing from this signing this our style of play for much longer than just the foreseeable future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should already be embarrassed that Joelinton has largely replaced him on the left wing. I love Joelinton as a midfielder. He is simply not a forward. This transfer provides cover for six positions. I hope it provides more scoring too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this, but in his time with Everton, he's played on either side and even as a CAM for spells. I know Eddie has his preferred shape, but he must like the options he has with Gordon as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool have been amazing for 5 years. You could name their ideal team 10 out of 11 players. Maybe 9. Ditto Real Madrid. Ditto even Tuchel’s Chelsea. Injuries and European football is the biggest factor for rotation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
