    Moved to the left because he couldn’t get the better of Rose <whistle> lol.

    Odoi looks a great prospect but there’s been plenty others similar who’ve faded into obscurity because they’ve failed to improve on decision making/ end product. For the sake of the England national team, I hope he comes good (just not with you lot, hopefully at Bayern!).

    Yeah, like if the first club in England did the quadruple via domestic
    silverware treble + EL, the world and his wife is going to be mocking them
    for "low achievement" .

    Yep. His strengths are his strength, he’s very difficult to stop or dispossess, his speed and ability to break into open space on the counter. His passing is improving, but his control is still not good and decision making let’s him down too frequently.

    But he’s a vastly improved player from the one who first came to us.

    He can't be bargained with, he can't be reasoned with......he doesn't feel pity....or remorse...and he absolutely will not stop....

    One day Sissoko will score by literally running the ball across
    the line due to his lack of bearings. And then keep going, entangled
    in the net, until he collides with an immovable object.

    @Tobes do you reckon you'll let Lookman out on loan?

    Why would it matter that it's us? Or do you mean you don't think they will domestically?

    I was just having a dig! <laugh>
    If you go down though, then it does mean less Premier League experience for future Liverpool players. <whistle>

    I don't understand why Lookman's not playing for Everton more regularly, to be honest.
    Pacy, direct, puts in the work and can play on either wing, plus he's homegrown.
    Silva should be doing more with the squad he's got, for me.

    Yeag there seems to be a few rumours but unsure if any truth in it. I'd be well happy with a loan deal tbh.

    Exactly, he has just broken into the side and at Chelsea that isn't easy although he did rattley your bar whilst remaining a constant threat on the right wing. We have others going through too s i always watch the reserve games etc. Trouble is with a sugar daddy owner who judges managers on results you can understand why they don't blood too many promising youngsters.

    I think he'd be very useful for you.
    You don't have bags of pace or much width, barring Redmond.

    No chance.

    We turned down £25m for him in the summer. He’s competing for a place with Walcott who’s off form. He was great on Saturday and he’s likely to start again this weekend imo.

    He wont move but silva iis a stubborn ****er or seeing stuff we all Aint seeing.

    Lookman has looked good everytime he has played and has a somewhat x factor to him.

    For all wally tries hes been pretty mediocre except for a few games at the beginning of the season but silva loves walnut

    Thought it was likely to be too good to be true. Oh well.

    With respect you have seen snippets of him, not his entire performances. The lad has bags of talent but sometimes his decision making is off and defensively on the right flank he offers little at times. He’s a real prospect but not yet an automatic starter in the PL.

    Walcott has been a bit hit and miss, has had some really good games and some poor. Lookman will get more game time if he carries on making the most of his opportunities, simple as that.
