Poll Priorities

[Fabio]

Really hope that's what Trent turns into.
I don't see Mac Alli as an attacking midfielder. He's more of a CM.

But we don't really play with an AM/number 10. I half wish we did, as there's players who could thrive there. I wouldn't overly say de bruyne was that kind of player either. He's more attacking as he has such a strong base behind him.

I think Ali is our answer to ball progression from CM, maybe trent could be on the opposite flank (should that come to pass) . We ideally need a stable base to midfield and it should work out nicely

It sounds annoying throughout all history, is all I learned.

Now... Let's put a pin in this discussion.

 

[refugee]

Ignored for using the ridiculous Americanism 'going forward'.
It's 'in the future' or 'from now on'.
And don't 'reach out' to me about this. It's fucking bullshit.

You have some cheek after this whopper of a post

Imagine having the time and inclination to dig that up, as if it proves anything. No idea what you're on about but you can fuck off too.

I put my shit car into reverse, but it's still going forwards.

We need to touch base soon though, just to make sure we're all on the same page

I appreciate all of you making me feel like I'm working when I'm actually just wasting time here and elsewhere.

Removes any semblance of a guilty feeling.

 

[StevieM]

Here's some priorities

She’ll go down in history as having played at Anfield more than Arthur Melo!!!

 

[binomial]

Taylor Swift!!!!!!!
I will be there.

 

[StevieM]

The real question is - Can Taylor Swift fill in at RB so that Trent can play in midfield.

 

[binomial]

Yes!!!

Taylor Swift is an all rounder. She can sing, she can dance, she can fuck, and she can play RB.

 

[StevieM]

Yes!!!

Taylor Swift is an all rounder. She can sing, she can dance, she can fuck, and she can play RB.

She’ll bring in enough in shirt sales to fund a Turkish wonder kid!!!

 

[bluebell]

Is it age? As I have never like one of Tyler Swift's music track?

 

[StevieM]

No mate, it’s taste - it’s long been established you have none.

She’s too skinny for you anyway.

Clearly never listened to Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince!!!

 

[binomial]

She’d be doing more to bring players in than our owners of the past 13 years!!!

 

[Squiggles]

Similar to Binny, I'd sign a fast, tall right-sided CB, who also has experience at RB.

I'm unconvinced about the combined fitness and remaining quality in VVD, Konate, Matip and Gomez to give us a base to kick on from. In contrast, the emergence of Bajectic and Trent into the midfield, the re-emergence of Jones, the signing of Mac Allister, and the link to Thruam give me a bit of faith that the midfield will have the legs and energy to carry out Klopp's instructions. Signing the profile of the player mentioned above also gives us opportunities to push Trent forward and occupy a permanent midfield slot if it's needed.

Admittedly the above also relies on Bajectic and Jones being able to put in 30-plus games in a supporting role, but I'd back them to do that over Gomez and Matip, who have a long track record on their being held together by straw. Jones seems to pick up weird, unfortunate injuries, like being poked in the eye, and Bajectic, whilst needing to put on some muscle, does have youth on his side and is yet to deserve an 'injury-prone' status.

Maybe we can get Selena Gomez to replace Jo Gomez….

You’re right, it has been proven time and time again that injury prone backups are a bad idea. They’re never ready even you need them. It’s why Nat Phillips persisted and Milner got so many minutes for so long. Shaq, Origi, Keita, Ox, late stage Bobby, current Matip / Gomez all rarely ready when called upon, Thiago will probably join the club too.

I thought you’d be off women for a while or maybe you had the sense to stay away from the business end

Do we think Van den Berg could potentially fill the RB / RCB backup slot.

He missed a lot of games last season, but other than that he hasn’t missed many games through injury.

 

[Best Believe It]

I think you have to start higher up the pitch first. The whole counter-pressing philosophy is about winning the ball as high up the pitch as possible. Our forward line - assuming Darwin evolves into a top class forward - is set up to press, is fast enough to take advantage and I've got faith that Gakpo can knit things together. Our midfield though had completely collapsed last season, exposing the inherent weakness of the high line. The high line defensively only works with a effective pressing midfield in front of it. Alexis is a good signing; we now need someone physically dominant to play in there, because none of our other midfielders are.

I can't say I've seen enough of him to say. He's only ever established himself at Preston, which doesn't fill me with confidence.

@Pesam might be better placed to know.

Yeah, it’s a shame he got that injury last season because if he’d established himself at Schalke that might have suggested he might be capable of progressing with us.

He’s only about a year older than Levi Colwill and is over a year younger than Guehi, who I saw us linked to earlier.
