That’s what tells you the story… Liverpool players play for the honour of wearing the famous red shirt in front of the famous kop. Unlike the mercenaries that play for money at Newcastle and Man City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflap Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Can't see Liverpool being consistent enough defensively to mount a serious challenge. It was their Achilles heel last season and all that will have changed is that an already ageing Van Dijk and Fabinho are a year older, Robertson has run the bollix out of himself for another 40+ games and Alexander Arnold thinks he's a midfielder now.

et tu brute Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Don't come in here much as it's mainly just bullshit media/Twitter snippets. I'll just say though that anyone starting to fret, should go again and listen to the Chairman's recent interview. If ever a statement of where this club is going, then his spells it out In literally black and white. Whatever people think about the ownership, there is one thing the are steadfast on and that is being the best. It's going to take a little time whilst we build up our revenue/commercial streams. We are the topic of discussion because other clubs/managers/supporters know it's only a matter of time until we rise to the top. I encourage all of us to trust the plan and enjoy the ride. As for transfers, I'm pretty certain we will be busy this summer, so don't shit the bed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you asked me a month ago who was the more realistic target between Szoboslai and Tonali, I'd easily have said Szob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 The cricket's was a bit dull at the end of the Aussie innings, so I listed this up from transfermarkt. Our production from LW and RW in the PL in 22/23. Does not include players switching positions or Willock going down left wing from midfield etc. LW Maxi P24 G1 A5 1103 mins Joelinton P11 G4 A1 990 mins Murphy P6 G1 A1 336 mins Isak P5 G0 A1 376 mins Fraser P4 G0 A0 230 mins Gordon P3 G0 A0 163 mins Anderson P1 G0 A0 20 mins Total G6 A8 3218 min RW Miggy P30 G11 A2 2429 mins (wolves sub added) Murphy P18 G3 A1 731 mins Anderson P1 G0 A0 78 mins Gordon P1 G0 A0 26 mins Fraser P1 G0 A0 9 mins Total G13 A3 3273 mins (Gordon is down as an "AM" for when he scored) RW should also include heavy crossing from Trippier but its too complicated to work out with free stats. Couldn't be bothered to look up Ritchie for his few minutes. Anyway, I don't think the above totals are that bad. They're not Saka/Martinelli level for sure, but we are where we are in the journey. Right should be around one goal or assist in two games when Trippier is added in. Our best mid, Bruno, also plays hangs out a lot on the right side. Left produced what it produced with limited support from LB. A paid stats account could probably work out xG and xGa from the different sides. There were some notable misses off Maxi setups. Whoscored has us attacking 39% down the right, 26% up the middle, and 35% up the left. Left just edged right 15% vs. 13% with shots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Murphy scored at a similar rate when playing right wing. One was the freaky Spurs shot, but the other two were tap ins. We led the league in hitting the woodwork, so that has to be weighed against any "our lads can't score all them again!" type theory. We also have to be wary of lingering Cabbageheed era views of our players. We are now seeing coached versions of them, not flukey hot streak versions, like Willock when he was on loan. Miggy was immense vs. Brighton at the end of the season, he didn't score, but was all over them. It certainly quashed any doubts I had about him. Offtopic, but here's ASM vs. Joelinton as left wingers. One a super creative winger and the other an above-average wide forward who's also a (not shown here) super ball-winner/destroyer. Not a bad pair to have. It opens up lots of tactical options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 11 minutes ago, relámpago blanco said: 11+3=14 Cheers! One was Miggy's goal as a sub that had to be added in after. Transfermarkt didn't have it down as "RW". The tl:dr and anti-stats version is that I think our widemen (and the team in general) are better than they are given credit for.

Ronson333 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 So what’s the plan here? Wait for all the other big spenders to blow their cash so we get a free run at the likes of Lavia? Noticed Man Utd can’t afford Onana because of FFP, Liverpool and Arsenal must be close to being finished for this window. Leaves Chelsea who want caicido, and Man City.

Armchair Pundit Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I've given up on reading about transfers already this window, the two I thought were pretty much nailed on have ended with the players going elsewhere and the rest of the stories seem to be pure guesses from the press. Until any new players are standing in St James with our shirt on I'm ignoring it all to avoid disappointment. Just hope we've strengthened enough to cover the extra games next season by the time the new season kicks off. ... now to enjoy my summer without distraction.
