    was a response to mighty stevie g who think you should be shoving him LB which is why you haven't bought one. I was agreeing with MITO that he wasn't even that good at LB and that you're better off buying a proper one <doh>

    he was good for an 18 year old and fast and strong but it was very very very clear he was completely one footed and struggled when pressed hard as he had to control on right foot so was closed off to play and could only pass back.

    If anything let him play RB or RB but he's just not an LB except in emergency. He will kill the tam going forward

    which is why a lot don't like milner there too. the ideal is a good left footed player to offer width and a good defensive nouse.

    its not that he wasn't "that good" its just you could tell that he was never making a career at it. For a league 1 player coming into the prem at 18 he was pretty darned good in terms of pace, power and not being overwhelmed.

    IMO though sides figured out pretty fast you could press hard on him cos he had to control on the right foot so was always facing his own goal.

    Either our target hasn't got an agent drumming up business or we have no target.

    Itk journo say cm and cb and are obsessed with story after story on vvd and Keita with the foreign press are using our name for stories from a few agents who are pushing all sorts.

    We seem to be utterly indifferent in terms of needing one or even pushing Moreno out.

    I think until Moreno goes we are not buying.

    And I think the same is true on sahko,

    Teams for Tranmere game
    Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Lucas, Milner, Henderson, Grujic, Wijnaldum, Ojo, Firmino, Sturridge.

    2nd half Karius, Clyne, Gomez, Klavan, Flanagan, Stewart, Chirivella, Woodburn, Markovic, Kent, Solanke

    Wow... totally ****e second team hammers home issues. We can add a few to that from returning players though... can, couts, lallana salah....but defence no strengthening it....


    Note.... no Moreno in team.

    Dejan Lovren, Alberto Moreno and Divock Origi are all injured... minor muscle injuries according to website.

    Harsh

    2nd half is effectively our 3rd XI with no Salah, Can, Coutinho, Lallana, Lovren, Origi, Mignolet, Moreno, Ward

    RB or RB? Not much of a choice to be honest...

    Yep, pre season is about fitness levels and giving fringe players/youngsters a chance to stand out
