    All that really means is asset resale value.

    It's a risk for him to not sign anything and a risk to sign and end up trapped by out transfer policy.

    McConnell is a half decent midfielder. Slot has no real interest despite his comments about him on a cl night. If he had interest he would use him a little.

    Bajcetic has a long road to fitness again and frankly he is constantly courting Spanish clubs so we need to let this guy go be the next suso or pacheco or whatever else he ends up as.

    Danns is just back training and will be shoved out on loan. If he is lucky.

    Ngumoha and nyoni are getting a little time this time round but as soon as all are back from internationals thst will be thst I suspect.

    I am far from the thought that Ngumoha is suddenly and option if diaz leaves.

    Can't work unless a forward goes.

    Tsimkas and Robertson and kerkez are 3 foreign players gor 2 spots.

    Guehi does solve a hg issue for us.

    Only 3 defenders starting today

    Vvd Robbo Stephenson

    Assume maybe Grav at cb? No real cf so maybe Wirtz as a false 9?

    Ali
    Stephenson grav vvd robbo
    Morton szobo
    Salah elliott ngumoha
    Wirtz

    Interesting no Nunez or Diaz in the squad. Also no Ekitike or Mac - assume Ekitike needs more time and Mac still recovering.

    Gomez gone home due to small injury apparently. Really puts our lack of cb options out there with only vvd and Konate - can’t play them both together in a half atm

    Could be 3 at the back but what you've outlined looks right

    All I will say is that with Gomez on his way home already, Guehi is a bigger priority than Isak atm. Indeed, Isak and Creswell.

    Losing 1-0 at present. Lot of possession, but not making any chances. Milan are good on the break.

    1-1 brilliant equalizer from Sobz, outside the box and just chipped the keeper. Rio playing well on the wing and is our main option going forward at present.

    Wirtz is looking very good. His first touch is excellent and then a quick move and he is creating a lot of space.

    Sounds like Wirtz linking up nicely. Ngumoha sounds likes having a brilliant game, real threat. Early days, young kid but looks like should get some decent game time this season carries on like that

    Lot of changes second half, LFC lost their way. Final Milan goal was a comedy of errors, luckily only a friendly.

    2nd half team was gash, truth be told. Tsimikas at CB is ludicrous - we need at least one new CB. But still buzzing about Rio. All that said - why was Macca not playing? I understand Diaz and Darwin being kept out, but what's going on with Macca? :emoticon-0138-think

    Diaz left out due to ongoing transfer speculation - sounds like he’s on his way out.

    Nunez was slight injury.
