Lush Vlad Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I don’t think he’s a bad player. Far from it. Also, I know it’s only one game. But based on tonight. I wouldn’t go near Mbuemo for what he will cost. His passing and movement are good and we know he’s a quality finisher. But seemed like Tino got the better of him 9/10 times. Which isn’t a huge surprise. As we know how good Tino is 1v1. But he seemed to just give up on it most the while. Nothing really massively stands out in his game a lot of the time. At least it didn’t tonight.

He’s like it a lot of weeks. Then pops up with a goal and an assist and gets MOTM You could say it about any player based on one game, of course. Which is why I mentioned it. Also. My opinion on him isn’t entirely based on tonight. I have seen him play before. I also agree with Whitley Mag. But considering we keep getting linked with him and Brentford aren’t on the box much. I paid more attention to him tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Anyone else been seeing these Harvey Elliott rumours? They're saying Liverpool are willing to let him leave and we're interested. Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly because he's a prick. Mbuemo will go for a higher fee. More clubs are interested in signing him and he isn't renowned as a dickhead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonsays Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 23 hours ago, Sibierski said: We’ve seen some evolution this season of almost being a 4-4-2, so a 2nd striker or someone that’s clearly more suited through the middle would get loads of minutes and be as valuable as other outfield positions. Like Man Utd have Zirkzee to go up top, Villa have two in Rashford replacing Duran, Chelsea have two in Nkunku/Jackson, Liverpool as mentioned, Spurs have two in Solanke/ Richarlison, Man City signed Marmoush as they only had Haaland. Arsenal weirdly have Jesus/Havertz. Big sides have two IMO, Gordon as that 2nd for us is never it. We all say it when he plays up top, and I’m sure it’s a viewpoint expressed by Howe too behind closed doors, and for one reason or another, Osula hasn’t been that this season for us. All of the second strikers you have mentioned can also play on the wings though, in fact most of them play the majority of their games there. Buying someone like Mbuemo would make much more sense than buying an out and out number 9. Isak, Osula, Gordon and Mbuemo as options for the central striker role would be more than enough IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyBartoon Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Elliot is great player imo. Liverpool fans I know reckon he isn’t in favour under Slot because he doesn’t move around the pitch well enough. Great on the ball tho and offers the creativity we sometimes lack when teams sit in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst Tino largely kept him quiet I thought he looked pretty dangerous throughout. Some lovely first time layoffs, a couple of great balls in including for the pen and uses his slightly unusual body shape really well. Also seems highly intelligent in his runs and timing of pass. I think he’s be an excellent signing and offer us a different dimension. Think he’s probably my preferred in that position from those linked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of a friend of a friend, spent some time around the Liverpool squad (can’t remember what for now). He apparently said they were all sound, apart from Elliot who was a massive dickhead. *I have no way of verifying this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Harvey Elliot is very talented. He’s output at 17 in championship was something and if Liverpool are thinking short term because he’s pathway has been blocked then someone will get a player. Be more Liverpool loss, like Man City with their youngsters over past few seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) C o m p o s u r e ! ! That and technical ability is what we need more of. Improve ourselves in possession overall too. We need more variety, not just intensity. I’m sure it will come. Don’t want any Liverpool players! Edited April 3 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 How much do we reckon West Ham would demand for Kudus? Would be great for the right wing/striker role. Can't see West Ham letting him go cheaply andd imagine he'd go for more than the rumoured £50mil for Mbeumo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
