The Bigfooty Liverpool Thread

[RossFC]

Yeah, we’ve got three tough away games against Forest, Brentford and Bournemouth before the return leg. Win them and I don’t care what happens in the second leg.

It’d be nice to win and it does sound spoilt, but this team has so much more to play for this season.

There is a 5 day gap between the Bournemouth game and the Spurs league cup game. We can go strong in both.

Rotate in the CL games before that, we are through in that.

The Blueshite have sacked Dyche. Hopefully the next guy is just as crap.

Elliott needs to start getting minutes. Jones should probably stick to being a backup in the pivot rather than a 10.

He was great last season, selling him would be crazy.

We've been trying to sell our young players for money this year, I sense that FSG has no intention of renewing all 3 of the big guys and are trying to raise funds to replace them next season

We’re carrying too much deadweight in attack at the moment and I’d like to see some movement there.

I think it’s time to end the Nunez experiment. I love his commitment and work rate but he’s not improving. Plus he wasn’t a Slot signing. Jota/Chiesa never available.

Have been linked with him for a few years now. Clearly someone we’re keeping an eye on.

 

[Lefti93]

I only saw one angle but it looked like a dive

Thought Jones was a bit ordinary again. His last 2 games not so good after a really strong patch before Christmas

It was the game to start Elliot IMO.

Endo has been terrific everytime he is called upon. You love to see it.

Think he might be playing some more CB against Accrington.

In total Liverpool have 5 National Captains - it is a pretty amazing depth of leadership. On top of that players like Mac and Allison are also amazing leaders.

 

[QuietB]

It's worth experimenting in some way to see if he can play at LB/RB

I'm sure he can do a job - he just competes.

Our answer to needing a no.6 or full back is to sign another winger

I mean Nunez, Gakpo, Diaz are all left wingers. We already forced one to be a number 9 and wonder why it's not working. Let's be linked to another left winger in Kvaratskheila.

Actually seems a typical move we'd make. Ignore CB and probably our wide backs. Sign some "flashy" forward player instead.

 

[Cooldude]

My hunch is that they'll see Kvara as the Mo replacement, even though he plays left wing. There is no way they sign Kvara then have to sign another right winger in the summer. If we sign him I doubt they'd re-sign Mo, too

Gakpo and Diaz are doing well enough on the left, it's literally our most well stocked position. If it's a no.9 to replace Darwin then I'd understand

 

[ADL9798]

We’ve looked best this season with Diaz at #9. Not sure I’d pigeon hole him as only able to play on the left.

 

[Cooldude]

Diaz is only playing 9 because Darwin's shit and Jota was injured

 

[ADL9798]

True, and he’s scored 6 goals in 6 games starting there vs 5 goals in 16 games starting on the left.

Our best XI at present is with him in the middle, Gakpo on the left and Salah on the right.

 

[Cooldude]

Would rather us sign Joao Pedro, now that's a proper no.9 option. Diaz is fine as a stop gap for a short period but he isn't the solution long term

Just splash all the money on Isak.

 

[RossFC]

Slot said Dom is back, trained with the U21s. Quansah should be available too.

He denied the Kvaratskhelia rumour.

I have a feeling Diaz will want to get a transfer to Spain before his contract expires
