its amazing how no matter what dislike one person happens to take, or how under rated a player might be in general by the media, teams will really miss top players

Its claimed LFC have never replaced Wijnaldum (despite getting close to a quadruple), have not replaced mane, have no way to replace Firmino and simply cannot replace henderson.

I've heard the same stuff many, many times over many, many fine players.

Gerrards, Hyypias, torres', suarezs and so forth and so on.

It seems to me that players are only missed when they go but then the sky falls in for some folk. There will always be another player and its down to how many right and wrong calls the club makes over time as to what results we bring.

Right now as a 433 we have

alisson
trent konate vvd robertson
macallister Fabinho Henderson
Salah gakpo diaz

And

Kelleher (still going mind)
Ramasay Matip gomez Tsimikas
jones Bajectic Thaigo
Elliott Jota Nunez

and carvalho, morton, bradley, davies, doak, gordon.... and phillips and williams.

so really we are looking at prior decisions in mdifield and defence zone already costing us.

1. we've decided for 2/3 season that we'd buy kids at rb as no cover was needed
2. we've decided to let players age out or contract out and wither in mdifeld and not buy to get forwards in.
3. we've decide to not sell others at times and let whatever value they had fall.

For me if you add 2 cms to that mix for the first team it might be relatively competitive despite not being as lethal or means as before.
The CB situation is again not good.
The RB situation needs resolution. Either play a RB or tell trent he is the RB and to get with the program.

All these years later and there's never been a replacement for Mascherano.

True, our tactics are different and we have different roles in midfield, but the one player I can't think of a single comparable player over the years is Mash... And that was a long time ago.

Hm I’d say Fab in the early days was similar. He would get around the park making tackles and cleaning up

what a slow, dirty, midget who can't pass the ball. SURE

Your hard on for mascherano is as funny as jimmy's Henderson fetish.

Calvin ramsey out on loan

He's missed his chance.

He has had two big injuries and we don't have time to nurse maid him through so out he goes on loan to sink or swim. Harsh reality o being a poor club with bills to pay.

Bradley is back in and klopp wants to show him off all preseason before selling him for 10mil. there simply won't be game time for ramsay in preseason to come back in.

yup.

its the equivalent of brad pitt telling jonah hill to go cut ebert in the movie.

in you come.

what do you do?

out you go.

the lad lay on a treatment bed for 12 months. leave out his age and desire to be fair and its not a great look is it. we need our 4.5mil back.

We will get our 4.5mil out of bradley if we play him preseason and make him look good.
