Y.N.W.A. Thread (Liverpool fans thread) II

[Twizzle]

Lol I'd be happy with Adebayor at Villa. Hope Benteke goes well for your mob. Don't think he's the right sort of striker for you guys but I could be wrong

Benteke aint coming to Spurs

 

[saint.nick]

not telling us anything we don't already know sunshine, might have helped if you read further in the thread before blowing your load, although can being "found out" is a massive exagerration, he had 2-3 poor games, where one of them contributed to 3 of the 4 goals, so it was magnified.

You get way too defensive, I wasn't blowing my load...

Can in central midfield this year is the go. It's his best position and he will continue to grow and grow as a player. He has the potential to be a big player for us for a long time !

ESPNFC are reporting we could be making amove to sign Pedro from Barcelona.

Also reports circulating of a move for Lucas Digne from Paris St Germain. He plays at LB.

As to the side, part of the issue is that we seem to have a glut of midfielders. Based on signings to date it looks more likely Rogers will start with a back 4. Based on the current squad that will probably be:

Clyne-Skrtel-Sakho-Moreno.

From there it gets a little murkier as it depends on what kind of formation will he play. 4-2-3-1? 4-4-2 diamond? 4-3-2-1? 4-3-3? That is part of the problem which makes working out the nominal starting side difficult.

I dare say of the remaining 6 outfield spots 3 of them will be filled by Benteke, Henderson and Miller.

That leaves 3 spots for Firmino, Countinho, Lallana, Can, Markovic, Ibe, Lucas, Allen and (when fit) Sturridge to be squeezed in.

That is part of the problem with Rogers. He likes flexibility but that cause problems too as he can at times chop and change his formation too much.

We will have different formations depending on the fitness of Sturridge.

To start the season, you will see.

Migs
Clyne Skrtle Sakho Moreno
Can/Lucas
Henderson Milner
Coutinho Firmino
Benteke


When Sturridge is fit.

Benteke aint coming to Spurs

Sorry the 2nd sentence was directed at Liverpool

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Plenty of depth and reasonable quality for Liverpool but just not enough top line talent to be serious challengers.

The squad looks bloated with just bits and pieces players everywhere, middling type talents that are just taking up a space and a wage. Mignolet isn't good enough, a better starting centre half is needed and midfield quality is poor.

I'll say you'll finish around 5th-6th.

 

[lolesi]

Nice goal by ibe few nights ago!

 

[Captain Apollo]

Andrew Wisdom has been sent out on loan for the season to Norwich. That is official.

Are some reports that Barcelona may be lining up to make a bid for Moreno.

 

[saint.nick]

I don't think he will leave, but it would make signing digne even more important.

We may have signed a lot of players this summer but I really don't think we had any other choice. We needed to refresh the striking department, we needed another explosive game-changing forward player (firmino), we needed someone in midfield to replace Gerrard's void, we needed a back up keeper, we needed a right fullback, and we still need competition for the left fullback position.

Things may need time to gel again this season, but it could be no worse than going into the season hoping to do well with what we already had. Fullback depth was bare, goalkeeping depth was bare, and striking depth was bare considering that: a) Sturridge is out till October and unreliable, and b) we are trying to offload lambert, Borini and balotelli who haven't worked out for us. Firmino was IMO a necessary signing because we need more goals and razzle dazzle from our attacking midfield apart from Coutinho, and you can never have too many brazilians in your team. Who was going to fill in Gerrard's void? Can? He may be talented but he's young and raw. I'd rather see him develop a bit more.

Great another season in transition then. How we need to buy another 7-8 players after we did the exact same thing at the start of last season has me stuffed. thank god its not my money is all I can say.

 

[Big Mick]

I like Emre Can. I think he can be a really good player.

It's not ideal but I don't see what else we can do. Keeping the same team with one or two added faces IMO wasn't going to change anything. It was the correct avenue to go down last season but not this season. In saying that I reckon we've bought better quality than last season.

 

[cb4]

Last year was a wasted window. I have said it many times, but last year, instead of 10 signings and 12 million, we needed 3 40 million dollar signings.

Should have been a huge statement of intent, instead of a huge statement of laughter. We needed to solidify our top 4 spot, not fall out of it.

We have signed heaps better this season, and last season we had champions league.

 

[saint.nick]

I want Lallana to have a big season. One thing he needs to improve is his dithering on the ball with twists and turns and etc

 

[Jack_Napier]

Lambert gone to WBA, think he's bagged 2 goals for them already. Good luck to him I say, was never given a decent chance with us even if he wasn't right for us.

 

[saint.nick]

Apparently one discretion balotelli has done behind the scenes is bring his dogs to training and let them shit on the field.

[Jack_Napier]

Lol seems legit with Mario

Gee I hope we can offload our 2 ineffective Italian forwards.

That's more end product then he has produced

Haha, kinda apt isn't it considering the dog shit performances he's dished up for us.
