He said the fitness stats were the best ever in pre season. That tells me the players had nothing for the season left.
Absolutely made up over yesterdays performance, BUT Kristensen still looks to get drawn out from his position, we got away with that ex Scouse, Citeh misfit Sterling missing that golden chance in the first minute....... where did he pick the ball up? our right with Kristensen up the field, if that goes in we are then up against it, one thing i did spot was Koch having a word with him, just hope it was telling him to be aware, or JM to look at it and coach him positional wise. As for the new recruits......wow they are worth every penny, Adams is more mobile that Philips, Aaronson gives the team more options, did Raphinha.....NO, as for Roca he did a beauty on Gallagher and he did FA after, very satisfying. Pity it wasnt Manure yesterday now that would send a message out to the rest. On a final note if ferret face Sothgate thinks he will steam roll USA in Qatar then he is deluded, they will be tough cookies.
Did anyone notice Aaronson looking away when he tapped the ball in. Doing a Rodrigo on it, I reckon there's a great camaraderie in the dressing room even with all the new players.
This is the woke media talking not a real football fan. Liverpool have been involved in more than one disaster just because they are scally scousers. Heisel anyone
Wasn't sure how Rodrigo would react when Raphinha went but I have to say he looks happier than ever with a slight caveat that I am not sure if he and Bamford get on - why? watch the celebrations when one or the other scores and they are on the pitch together. Maybe just an incorrect hunch / observation??
Always remember Bamford being interviewed when Rodrigo arrived and he said: jeez I thought my job had been reduced because I watch him in training and never seen that sort of quality anywhere before, but Bielsa wants him as a 10 so loving it…
Frankly if Rodrigo carries on the way he is, I don't care about Bamford keep him on the bench all season.
Barnsley will need a rethink to allow some fringe players to get minutes Klaesson Drameh, Cooper, Hjelde, Struijk Forshaw, Gray Sinisterra, Summerville Greenwood, Gelhardt
I think the Bielsa debate has been done to death but I just thought I’d point out that there wasn’t a rule here for him to check so he didn’t actually break one.
Yes there was it's the that's not british old chap rule. Plus i do not care anyone is allowed to comment on anything. There is no time limit or don revie would not be allowed.
I’d also play Sonny Perkins as he’s already played in the PL for West Ham so will be more than good enough against Barnsley
I just don’t get all this Bielsa bashing He was a man for the time and did a brilliant job end of. We now move on get over yourselves and enjoy
Bielsa vs Jesse - Sundays result should unite everyone, the sacking of Bielsa divided the fan base but surely we've moved on enough for it to be repaired?
Opinions are fine it’s just that the same opinion repeated time after time becomes bashing, in my opinion
