I have doubts about the two FBs but one is very young, the other could be more of an attacking player than a FZb. I think Ekitike, Wirtz and Isak will all be quality for us in time
The net spend was certain unexpected and 35mil more was due to palace as well. I'd expect us to go try guehi again and then we will see.
think we almost have to for 2 reasons a) Leonji injury b) Konate is far too often dreadful - though VVD is a big worry too
Imo we have to just play to strengths Vvd is a big ass warrior. He doesn't want to be on his wkn drawn oit into full back channels with no cover in the middle. Who would? You could play 343 for example Alisson Konate vvd Robertson Frimpong gravenberch macallister kerkez Salah isak Ekitike Or any form of combo like that. We've pacey full backs full of running. We've strong cms We've central attacking midfielders We've top strikers We dont have pacey dribbling wingers. Play to the strengths. Load the middle so the pace wide can run up and down and do their job. We are doing the diametrically opposite.
I'm not worried about VVD. He's struggling yes but it's because he's surrounded by either new or out of form players... We miss Alisson (who wouldn't?) RB has been a problem areas Konate has been poor overall Kerkez is struggling The midfield has been mashed up
For those that love to read far too deep into everything... Salah removed all references to Liverpool from his X account last night
I don't use X or any other social media other than here but I read around a lot. I hadn't heard anything about it until you posted so I went looking. All the usual, obvious incorrect post about him deleting all references to Liverpool on all his social media. As I said, he's changed his profile picture to one with his children and dropped the bio altogether and that's it.
