Preston?
Yeah, would've liked to go tbh but I thought Preston was only about 20 mins away from Liverpool for some reason.
If we’re trying to play offside and Virgil is the defensive organiser, then surely he has to be stepping up.
Also - this is the one we’re I thought Mac A was a little too far in field.
And - there’s no pressure at all on the defender.
Their defender has his pick of 3 different players to hit on our right, all in space and all relatively easy passes.
For me, Trent needs to get tighter but his defensive line is ok, Virgil needs to step up, Mac A & Curtis need to be over more to the right and someone needs to be putting pressure on the defender (Mac A or Salah with whoever isn’t covering the wide ball).
When did we get so chummy with Preston? I thought Crewe were our boys
I think it’s more about ground availability more than anything else.
Crewe's a great little place to go, very tidy clean town....public transport there runs smoother than anywhere I've been in the country, their main train station is fucking gigantic for such a small town. Plus you can actually understand people there when they speak.
Preston have always been our adopted subsidiary club, we play them like every pre-season......always sent or taken players there.
Just watched the highlights. We looked log at the back and were lucky to only concede 4. Should've been about 8.
«One of those goals»..
When you say "Temporary" are you referring to 2 games because by the 3rd he will have a hip issue?I think I have a temporary solution to that DM problem. Keyword being "temporary".
His name is Thiago.
If he's fit he just has to play. Has the intelligence and the skill to put in a shift there imo. I honestly believe that he's our only option as is.
Read my mind
Or an ear infection!!!!!
How about the ones I've just watched on LFCTV, will they do ya arrogant fool?
Shankly?
On the match itself, route one seems be the best way to undo us. Defenders are left free, no press or harassment, to pick three or four unmarked players. It happened last season and it happened in this match time and time again. This is not about the defensive midfielder that some are clamouring for-- it's basic "defending from the front" stuff.
Haven't we had a few youngsters playing there recently? A reward for PNE perhaps?

Nah, that's just the Fabinho situation all over again only with someone that has less aptitude for the role and is more injury prone.
His legs are gone and the way we're set up right now requires a DM that can cover ground.
Both goals conceded were down Trent’s side.
And we don’t have Fabs anymore.
So the luxury of playing Trent as a pivot 6 will look a lot different without someone like Fab to cover.
Damn right you’ve got work to do son.

Almost forgot Thiago’s still alive.
I’d rather Bajcetic or even Curtis than Thiago as DM. Unless you wanna risk giving away silly free kicks cos grandpa can’t keep up with some young punk running past him.
I know it's a tough ask because the guy is dead but you really should try watching him play instead of reading stats and charts because this is a truly terrible ideaI think I have a temporary solution to that DM problem. Keyword being "temporary".

I can understand people losing patience, but calling him grandpa and doubting his quality is just disrespectful. He's technically the best player we have got/had in God knows how many years. To be honest, I cant think of a single player we have had who is technically better than him. I am sure no one is more frustrated than he is; he was devastated and inconsolable when he got injured in the League Cup fin warm up, for example.
And who in the squad would do a better job than he would do?
Thiago isn't exactly slow and he's not afraid to tackle either. He's a smart player too. Would be like having an Alonso in that position. I also emphasized "temporary".
Bajectic would be the obvious choice but I'm going with experience especially since he's been out for so long
Don’t worry.
You’ll all change your tone in a flash when we make a similar start like last season and give away silly goals.
Poor vice captain. He’s gonna be on the receiving end of so much vitriol again.

I think the thing that set Thiago apart from the other you mentioned, is he was always a luxury signing. Someone who would no doubt add guile and class, but wasn't what we needed at that time. The fact there's been constant injuries just adds to the frustration.
Fabio was free, as was matip. Matip actually had a prolonged run and was hugely important in some of our successes. And Fabio was just a fucking don
