Arteta, Emery, Mourinho and Conte very often play a double pivot, also not with marauding fullbacks. Much to the angst of Spurs fans when they don’t win. Mourinho and Conte were often attacked for this in the EPL. Guardiola has often resorted to it where the opposition are highly effective at...
Klopp knows more than us. On a budget no where near the two Mancs and Chelsea, TAA was part of a starting 11 that won the vast majority of games, his medal collection is complete. His defensive game hasn’t regressed … throughout those earlier years internet experts (not Liverpool fans) slagged...
TAA has won everything there is to win, on the way scoring great goals and providing insane numbers of assists only beaten by Andy Robertson. Whilst in his teens/early 20’s.
He never had the defensive attributes of Wan-Bissaka, Veltman or other out and out full backs, it’s not in Klopp’s...
Liverpool’s press has fallen away, the team/squad has aged, they lack the legs.
But he always plays attacking football, so it definitely won’t be like playing a time-wasting, cheating Villa.
Other than the 5-1, both CH and GP teams caused Liverpool lots of problems including at Anfiield. When others were being swept away. It must’ve been something to do with the high stakes attacking football from Klopp.
Imho games are 9/10 won in midfield. Theirs is suddenly old and tired, whereas this is peak Albion ever.
Subject to RDZ making a huge too-clever-by-half first 11 error, I really see an Albion win.
The top 7 don’t seem to effectively go for the young overseas talent such as Caicedo, Mac A. Chelsea’s approach over the last 20 years was a vast scattergun approach, sometimes illegally hence the ban, of taking on hundreds of next best things with inducements to families. Anything to stop...
Bellingham's off to Citeh or Real, ignore the media noise, Liverpool cannot compete at a £120m fee AND mega wages. They'll have to buy cheaper defensively minded CM'ers.
Which means you'll be seeing a load of Citeh and Real trophy winning in the next 10 years. Pretty much, as you have been.
I’ve watched these bookies opportunities over the last 2 or 3 years. The markets/cashflows always follow the clubs with huge global followings, ignoring form and rapidly declining squads. Wolves were something like 14/1 to win at Anfield on Saturday evening, despite no VVD and the legs-gone...
They’re playing awful against almost everyone. Brentford, Wolves literally doing as they please.
Tight FSG made a monumental blunder in arrogantly not updating centre midfield.
It will be an open end to end game, Klopp and RDZ only know one way to play. I think Caicedo, Mitoma and Mac A will...
1. We’ve improved hugely in every department, a fantastic first eleven and good subs. Caicedo and Mac Allister are brilliant CM’ers who’d fit into any team.
2. Fenway Sports Group have tunnel vision for never, ever putting in a $ of their money for player investment. (Unlike Chelsea, Fulham...
