that is true, ideally we'd have a "Mane" who could share that burden with him.
Age v wages, AFCON it's just doesn't feel right.
Robinson had him in his pocket, now Mendes. There's probably more. I'm not sure keeping him is worth it in the long run.
Shouldn't have signed Nunez, got tricked there.
Oh, but how we all wish that there was...
Take it up with the free speech union.Oh, but how we all wish that there was...
Sorry l, I hear you, but I don’t think it’s a case of Virg & Mo playing every game because there are no alternatives - there are alternatives - Slot barely even subs Mo and Klopp was the same, regardless of how he’s playing.
Chiesa was is the obvious option who could have been getting 10-15 mins more frequently. Harvey has been deployed in MO’s position too - maybe not ideal, but can play there.
Mo is so competitive he’d be furious if he was benched when fit - we saw how he takes that last season - and there’s no reason to while he’s banging in goals.
With CBs - you really want to keep the same pair together as much as possible, so unless we’re appointing another captain, Virg is playing practically every game.
As Momo said - no top player is coming to sit on the bench, play a few domestic cup games and CL dead rubbers and cross their fingers for 5 mins here and there in the league.
No issue with keeping Mo, but the only sort of backup that would work would be Doak - and even then he probably needs more minutes to develop than we’ll give him.
The reverse of that is that the more people repeat stupid things they more they are considered stupid.Oh, but how we all wish that there was...
Or... Or... Maybe you might consider not repeating your nonsense over and over and over and over, again and again and again and again, every single flippin' day? No chance of that happening, I suppose?
Re-sign! Or resign. Got me confused there 😆
Re-sign. Most definitely!
I mean there are certainly people who can play in those two positions (maybe not someone who's preferred position is LCB) but the alternatives aren't thought highly of by Slot.
I agree that neither Virgil nor Mo would want to be rotated, and given they haven't signed a new contract yet they're probably being kept happy also. But the wise move would be to have people in situ for when the decline happens, because it's not going to happen at a time that's suitable for us. I would rather, as I'm sure we all would, have someone ready to take over when the dip starts to happen. When that is, I dunno - but if there are players we identify as successors we should absolutely be moving for them now; after all we've done that for the GK position, despite Allison being arguably as good as he's ever been. Mamardarshvilli or however you spell it will be coming with the intention of taking over as first choice, despite knowing Allison is his competition. I don't see why we couldn't sign players who feel they can take over from Van Dijk or Salah.
Maybe some on here should take a leaf out of your book and actually enjoy this.
I think the keeper position is a little different - but I wouldn’t rule out Alisson being allowed to leave (not saying I’m in favour).
Also, I think you hit on one of the problems - if we go for a player that’s capable in multiple roles, is he really a specialist on the right to replace Mo - and if he spends most of his time playing in other positions, is that really good preparation.
The other option is - do we get Mo to change his role - move him into the middle and introduce someone else on the right? (again, not something I’m necessarily in favour of).
Regarding keeper, it's a shame the Georgian has been poor this season.
Otherwise I'd have considered flipping him for a profit and convincing Kelleher that he'll continue to get matches due to Ali's injuries and will win a domestic cup or two every season.
I don’t watch La Liga - has he been poor, or has he been playing in a shit team and overworked?
I don't see why not TBH. They play in different positions and both are excellent all-round footballers.
I don't watch it either but based on what I've read, a bit of both. He's definitely playing in a shit team but he's also reportedly been a bit below expectations.
If we were talking about signing him based on this year, well, we wouldn't be

Liverpool are watching Villarreal wing-back Sergi Cardona.
The Reds will seek to buy a new left-back this summer as they plan to eventually replace Andrew Robertson.
Bournemouth fullback Milos Kerkez is regarded as their top choice.
However, the Daily Mail says Liverpool are also showing interest in Cardona.
The 25-year-old left Las Palmas for Villarreal last summer. Cardona has one goal and six assists in 25 La Liga matches this season.
The Reds have been following Cardona for 18 months. His contract with Villarreal extends until the summer of 2027.
Dated 3 Feb 2025:
No other full back has provided more assists than the Catalan left-back in LALIGA
Sergi Cardona Bermúdez (Lloret de Mar, 08/07/99) is enjoying a golden moment at Villarreal. The young player, who joined the club on 18th July 2024, is currently the full-back with the most assists -six- in LALIGA.
Cardona, who already had LALIGA experience after his time at UD Las Palmas – landed on his feet at Villarreal. The Catalan, after an impressive pre-season, quickly became a permanent fixture in Marcelino’s schemes.
In addition to his spectacular role as an assist provider, Sergi Cardona is the player in the squad who has played the most minutes with a total of 2253 in the 26 games in which he has been available and in which he has started. The player from Lloret de Mar only missed the game on Matchday 16 against Athletic Club (2-0) due to suspension.
Cardona’s performances, which also include a goal on Matchday 3 against RC Celta, have been, like the team, on an upward line, as his outstanding assists record has increased in the last three matchdays, where he has been able to assist Álex Baena and Yeremy Pino in the win against RCD Mallorca (4-0) and Ayoze Pérez and Santi Comesaña in the recent victory against Real Valladolid (5-1).
Right back is a no-brainer. Aina is available on a freebie; he’s 28, very good, started every game this season (reliable), very good disciplinary record and likes to get forward.
He will offer Bradley serious competition and will be reliable as a regular starter if Bradley injury problems persist.
