LFC Loan Watch 2023-24

Chambers was linked with Leverkusen back in July last year so Alonso should know quite a bit about him, if he was involved in squad planning with Rolfes and the interest was true.


 
Apparently Inglethorpe mentioned in an interview that we have 300m worth of potential talents in our academy. Wowzees.
 
Maybe there’s hope for Kumetio yet?

He’s had a couple of disastrous loans - be nice if one worked out and he started playing regularly.

Chambers might be the next defender to break through, impressed on loan last season as well.

Might save us a fortune on a LCB that can play at LB.
 
How is Pitaluga doing? A bit concerned with his awful start in his new team. Were we overrating him?

Doesn’t sound like he’s started well, but it might be a good thing in the long run - he’s still young.

Jaros & Harvey Davis seem to be doing ok - so we’ve got a fe options there.

Marcelo Pitaluga's difficult start to life in the League of Ireland continued on Monday night, as St. Patrick's Athletic went down 3-1 to Waterford.

Pitaluga joined the Saints on loan from Liverpool before the start of the LOI season, on the back of signing a contract extension for the Anfield club.

The idea was for the Brazilian stopper to gain first-team experience and while he has been doing so, some of his performances have left St. Pat's fans a little underwhelmed.

A disappointing display in the President's Cup defeat to Shamrock Rovers was followed up by a clean sheet in an opening league win over Galway, but since then the Inchicore side have let in six goals in three successive defeats.

During the 3-1 loss to Waterford on Monday, Pitaluga was highlighted for a woeful attempt at playing out from the back with the score at 1-0.

He was also at fault for Waterford's second goal on the night, spilling a cross before Pádraig Amond tapped home for his second of the night.

Pitaluga completed just 31% of his attempted passes on the night but it should be added that he made six saves to keep Waterford down to just three goals.


Footage of Pitaluga's errors have been doing the rounds among Liverpool fans on Twitter, with many expressing concern at what they see.

Empire of the Kop wrote that he "made a real mess of a ball played back to him and nearly handed the opposition an easy goal," while Pat's fans have been equally critical of his performance.

The 21-year-old isn't the only player struggling for the FAI Cup holders at the start of the season but fans will want to see a big improvement in his form, or they will soon be calling for Jon Daly to take him out of the team.

For his part, Daly backed his new goalkeeper after the President's Cup performance, saying that he had "no doubts" over the youngster's talents following the difficult debut.


Pitaluga's struggles are coinciding with Caoimhin Kelleher's strong run of form in the Liverpool starting XI, as the Corkman further stakes his claim as a potential long-term replacement for Alisson Becker.

Kelleher's performances will be noted by the manager who takes over from Jurgen Klopp, but Pitaluga will be hoping that whoever that is, won't be paying too much attention to the early part of the League of Ireland season.
 
Poor bastard is obviously feeling the effects of a bag of shit southern Tayto.
 
SVDB apparently with a MOTM performance today in Mainz’s 2-0 win over Bochum with an impressive 8.3 rating from whoscored.

Stats read as follows -;

90mins
27/35 passes (77%)
5/8 accurate long balls
2 blocks
6 clearances (1 off the line)
3 interceptions
6 recoveries
Won 10/14 aeriel duels.

Good to see him progressing well, doing his chances no harm. Mainz now out of the automatic relegation places.
