You guys are so down on Joe gomez but if I dare critique his defending I am the worst in the world lol
He was one of our ****test players post lockdown 1 when we stumbled over the line to win the title. Such a huge drop off from Trent at RB to Gomez.
Jo-Go it's terrible at RB. He held our defence together from CB after VVD got injured, or real downturn in form came after we lost him.
Terrible is a relative term. Clearly gomez is not terrible at rb. We will have to "make do". Williams cant even defend so if a loan is required to help him along in the long term then we need to suck it up. "Hopefully" we are talking 5 games. Our reserve 4 could be gomez matip Phillips tsimikas Clearly its not man city but unless you've a spare 50mil for a reserve right full back or two then what else are we going to do? Hold williams, let him rot on the bench then think oh he is ****ing awful at defending
Current rumours include Celtic's edoaurd to Leicester. City have said sterling must go. Ward prowse to Villa Neves to arsenal. Wijnaldum to page
No thanks for Joe at RB. It would be a massive waste of his ability and plus he won't be able to offer anything going forward. Not only that, it will put his body under more stress with the expectation of him having to push higher and then cover large ground in behind. Fabinho played at right back so he could be an option but again, we really shouldn't be in a position where we have to do that. I do think we definitely need cover for Trent but he along with Robbo have been massively overplayed in recent seasons. I reckon Kostas will get more of a look in next season once we have a more settled defence. Elseid Hysaj of Napoli is available on a free I believe and he would be an experienced option who can play on both flanks.
Sure if you want to play for and just buy buy buy. Neco williams is either good enough to develop or is not. He has to play to show it. Again it's either 5 games or 30 games a season as a reserve full back. Nobody knows which. We do know as it stands neco williams is a very naive defender and a player who is head down type of runner and crosser. This isn't enough so either he develops in which case we would have a free transfer in his way the following season or he doesn't in which case we need a better reserve. If its for 5 games who seriously give a fcuk about the couple of Cup games and one or two games in the league this would be with milner and gomez filling in. Finally again 17 foreign players, that's our lot and with one already gone to tsimikas I'd much perfer to get in a good player than another specialist who offers little value. Seriously, I'd rather give an aging English right full a years contract than bring in an foreign player who is ever enough We all need to get make do into our heads. Let's not wasteforegin player slots on dross again.
Neco isn't good enough IMO and the rumours are that he's going out on loan anyway. Trent needs far more rest this season and can't keep running the risk of overplaying players. Maybe Milner can be the one to cover at right back?
Another interesting name that we're apparently interested in is Dušan Vlahović He's a pure 9 in the Lewandowski mould so if we do go for him, expect us to change our system to accommodate ...
Liverpool FC are set to get the green light for their planned expansion of Anfield, with the Liverpool City Council recommending its application. The plan to extend the Anfield Road End by 7,000 additional seats, taking Anfield’s new capacity to circa 61,000, will go before the planning committee next week (15 June) and the council’s head of planning has recommended that the application be granted. https://www.thisisanfield.com/2021/06/liverpool-fc-get-green-light-for-anfield-expansion-to-61000/
So we agree William's needs game time to play and show if he can improve. Theres not too many opportunities to rest for top top players. 5 games maybe to get a midweek off or around the cups. We need to make do. Esp if we are wasting a foreign slot on adrian again.
No idea but if he can actually put the ball on target it is a plus. We dont need to change our system, we just need a just to run about, work hard and run in behind. Even harry kane can do that.
I think we will. Having a pure 9 will mean they will occupy more of the central space meaning Mane and Salah may find it harder to find gaps in the box. Bobby plays centrally but he drops very deep.
