    No idea why anyone is surprised
    Nev totally exposed himself as a hypocrite of the highest order by going to the WC imho

    still cannot believe he got away with inciting riots
    I have only heard one person say it how i view in the public domain and that was Simon Jordan

    Liverpool owner John W Henry is fishing for their true value - COMMENT | Daily Mail Online

    Embarrassing. Let's be honest, there was one big beast out there and United usurped us. So now JH is looking for 'an investor' having, allegedly, knocked back any tentative inquiries for a full sale. Well, how much of the £500m investment into FSG from Redbird did we see? If, as reported, they're looking for £1bn for a 20% minority stake in FSG, do we think we'll see a red cent of that?

    Same old same old. But we've saved our soul, I suppose, and when Everton are relegated we can become the New People's Club next season. Bless. :emoticon-0111-blush

    Let's just hope that FSG have some renewed optimism and have ambitions for this club. The infrastructure is already pretty much done - so all that's left for any investment to be spent is on the playing staff. Will Spearman being promoted and now being linked to that Markus fella at Frankfurt as DoF (who is heavy on data and analytics) would imply that we want to go back to the old model.

    Is that the pre-Klopp model, cause aside from Suarez that was pretty **** as well.

    Not sure what kind of model we decided to use when signing injury prone Ox, Keita and old man Thiago

    Well those are over a long period.

    Jimmy just wants to belive his hero Edwards was ****ed over by the new villain klopp and now ward has been and its all klopps fault no matter what.

    Let's all just ignore the work klopp is doing with gakpo and nunez that's just shaping before our eyes and the education of a 250k kid that's clearly no caicedo cos we bought him first.

    We can never develop a player it seems, not allowed. We must spend 100mil on someone elses.

    Klopps working on a few things but should have got shut of 4 cms last summer, he's not perfect. Who is. We are in the **** cos we didn't refresh but long term the forward work done with Diaz, nunez and gakpo over 3 windows might be what delivers big time.

    But let's ignore that

    This team can be totally transformed with a couple of signings tbh. I know easier said than done but if you compare this team now to the one of 2/3 years ago.

    Ali still as good as ever
    taa form dropped, but never been brilliant defender. Just had to do more of it as we’ve been poor.
    konate is looking as good as Matip and Gomez were.
    vvd not quite the same but still a very good defender
    robbo - dipped a bit but still been in decent form

    forwards
    Gakpo Nunez diaz Jota salah elliott

    thats a very good 6 players. Gakpo starting to look good in that firmino role and Nunez is starting to look a very good player from the left. Lots of pace and energy there.

    Short term comparison they look promising to live up to mane firmino Salah.

    Obviously the midfield is the issue. Gini Hendo fab was quality. But none were world beaters ok fab maybe had spell where one of the best, but the other two were functional and allowed the rest to play.

    Seen arsenal get partay up to speed and suddenly midfiekd look great with Xhaka in it!

    Just need a couple players who can bring that energy, get around the pitch, close opposition down so can’t run through the middle at our defence constantly and team will suddenly look far more solid.

    As long as we play in 2 comps only and bin the rest maybe.

    The reality is vvd was immense, he is now only OK. You couldn't run him now you can.

    Fundamentally we simply cannot play the way we do as it relied on extremely compressed space and no out ball.

    Villa exposed that game 7-2 before vvd was ever crippled.

    There's a different balance to strike now.

    We are far far to easy to play against.

    TAA is one of those players. Who plays well when the team plays well and always plays bad when the team plays bad.


    Ideally, Matip gets replaced, Gomez goes to the bench (need HG). I'm not sure what's up with VVD. Still our best defender, but not up to his best.

    Gakpo and Nunez show promise, but they need to improve. If they live up to their hype they'll be good, but they've got a way to go.

    Diaz and Jota are good but neither really fill the shoes or our league winning trio.

    Salah, decent, not great. Gets on the team by name.

    Elliott, he looks promising, and I don't want to sound like putting him down but, Neil Mellor, Jay Spearing, Jordan Ibe, Curtis Jones, etc, all looked promising once upon a time. People once thought they were the future too. He's a decent back up choice and one day could be a star but that's not certain yet.


    Overall, I don't think we have a bad front line. If Gakpo and Nunez live up to the hype, it could be a title worthy front line but it's not a certainty yet by any means.

    we have made our bed in the forwards. nunez gakpo diaz over 3 windows and Jota the window before that.

    the midfield has been let go to the dogs. players will have to be bought. end of. bajcetic is a massive bonus at 18 for 250k. considering 100mil is what a 21 year old who is not better costs.

    the defense is all over the place. 2 cbs need to go now. they are not putting bodies on the line especially matip.

    He really is, and if we get a couple more stars like Stevie B coming up from the youth ranks, things would suddenly look a lot rosier.

    He's obviously not "free", but he's almost a free player from "out of thin air".

    Where are we putting Fab Carv? Midfield or forward? He's another one that has a ton of potential, but may not be the finished article. Can't tell at this point if he will be a star or a false hope. He certainly holds a lot of promise.

    well like klopp in the reserves and then sold for a profit next summer by the looks of it.

    he can score a goal. he wants to be a 10. not a chance in hell of getting close to our team there.

    He is not really an LW and not in the klopp design of hard runner to go past the false 9. He is most certainly not a CM of any type

    He is not a central midfielder and i see absolutely zero evidence he will grow into one the closest he is to that is as a no 10 / false 9 though he has mainly played LW . Personally i expect him not to be with us next season though if that is a loan or transfer who knows. Just fail to see how he getsgame time with us once most of our forwards are fit .

    sounds right to me.

    i strongly suspect he is the new Harry Wilson and will be loaned out to increase value before we sell.

    however..... if we end up in conference or better the europa league then we will be likely using him and Jones etc for that.
