With Keita and Fekir coming in, we’ll be adding a bit of snide and ****housery. But we need more. We need to man up and we need to embrace the dark arts.
We obviously need more but I'd be happy with those two and either a keeper or CB arriving. Three first teamers is more than enough at one time
I think we need another attacker as well. We lose our momentum and attacking shape and pace when either mane or salah goes off. In fact, it’s crucial
The attacker isn't necessarily a first team signing though. Obviously, I have the mentality of improve the first team and the squad takes care of itself but our front three are so good it'll take massive money to improve it. We've got other areas (midfield) that need investment first.
Yep, someone who can rotate with any of the front 3. We simply cannot go into next season with Ings and Solanke as back ups.
Can't Fekir pay up top? Similar to how Coutinho could? Maybe Klopp will look to play more of a 4231 system? Move Bobby into the number ten role and by a goalscorer?
surprised we didn't look at something like that on Saturday though having said that i'm not entirely sure what formation we ended up with
I thought our subs on Saturday where questionable. Lallana and Can both recovering from injury. Not much option with midfield but I'd have gone with Solanke rather than Lallana.
tbh I think the sub was ok but on 70mins solanke should have been on and we should have at least stuck it in the mix and look for dumb luck. you might as well have have me playing were lallana was as he killed the press and again might as well have had me as karius in goal. it was what it was. we ran out of steam for past month and really we were fading.
Other than him being completely headless, he could have added some pace out wide. Don't think he has the intelligence to stretch the defence though.
I don't think he liked the press, he's good at that aspect. The problem was more when we won the ball there was a lack of urgency and directness. Lack of pace didn't help either. I do believe it was going to be a very different game had Salah not picked up the injury. We had them on the ropes a few times.
It had to in the end. as i said. did we end up missing coutinho. in the end yes but I'm not sure we would have made the final with or without. we were shy of options up top and midfield injuries creamed us. it was frankly amazing we went so far without injuries to the front 3 but it's a great run we had. next year is going to be even harder so we just have to pick ourselves up and enjoy the next run
He’s better centrally - either as the attacking mid (where coutinho played) or as false 9. He could play out wide but again, the lack of pace could hurt us.
Creativity and craft can replace pace but more team play when attacking. Worried with Coutinho who isn't the fastest (not slow though)
You seem more convinced on Fekir coming in than he is.... http://www.skysports.com/football/n...iverpool-move-and-in-no-rush-to-decide-future
