Tbf, I posted the same thing as you did until the update came out. He's now out until after the City game next month.
had real potential but these constant injuries mean he is very unlikely to get anywhere near reaching them unfortunately
In truth he was done the second he showed up v psv einthoven barely fit and looking like he had zero pace and just got bullied. The people at the club who tried to loan him when injured did no favours to him. He returned and looked not quite as slow but really like a angle lad with average pace so I'm very much sorry the potential I saw 3 years ago in the youths where a front 3 looked really good have all come to nought. The academy coaches that have been appointed talk big but so far the results have been shocking in the academy.
I didn't see the first half of the last game so I wasn't aware who was on the bench only that he didn't come on as a sub. I think Endo would add a much needed dose of aggression in the midfield. He's not afraid of a tackle.
Just stand there and stop the players running through. 0-0 is better than 2-3 that realistically could easily have been 0-4 2 great saves and two very late goals each half.
There's a lad on YouTube called Adam Clery that does some great game analyses, not just Liverpool but all teams. He did one a couple of weeks ago that showed the difference between Liverpool of last season and this season. It was quite in depth but basically it boils down to last season we were very effective at stopping teams making forward passes virtually all game, every game. This season that isn't happening. It's all wrapped up in a lack of pressing and other things but predominantly, stopping the forward pass stopped teams playing their game and forced them to play ours.
Yes. It starts from the front. Gakpo is 4 miles deep. Everyone has an easy passes to the rb as a result. No matter how hard anyone else works they have an easy pass out there to receive the pressure. Salah stands there not covering either lane.he should just be shutting the lb channel and stopping the cb walking forward. He does neither. A forward might run about from one cb to the other but the 10 is missing. The midfield never work to get near their cms dropping deep. Theres always a ball to the cm on, and they can turn. Its mad. We were so close to being on it v atletico but we dropped off it after 60mins
