Administrator Stan 18,383 Posted August 6, 2022 Administrator Share Posted August 6, 2022 Had no idea Firmino & Matip were 30+. So much quality and experience but you wonder what the next couple of years holds and how these players will continue and depart. In capable hands given Liverpool's recruitment record though...

Danny 2,206 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Just heard Martin Tyler's Hillsborough comments. It sounded like when listening back, that he was mentioning Hillsborough and hooliganism as two separate issues that caused a crisis in the game at the time, rather than suggesting hooliganism caused the Hillsborough tragedy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, it's really badly worded at best but I'd suggest that he knows what he's doing and the damage is done. He hates Liverpool/Scousers.

Rick 2,276 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 We’ve needed another CM since Gini left. Thiago’s injury just makes a mockery of what our options are in that position. After those three players who started the game we have Jones (flatters to deceive after a bright start), Keita (so inconsistent, always injured), Milner (good player, but can’t start and finish a game) and Ox (waste of time). Klopp is on about having 8 players in that position but 5 of those 8 can’t be counted on whatsoever. Think it’s important that we bring in somebody this window. I am all for Bellingham next summer, but we can’t act like if he comes in our midfield is fixed. All three of those three who started the Fulham game are 30+, we need better coming through than we currently have because I have no faith that Jones is going to be the player we thought he was going to be and the likes of Ox & Milner won’t be here much longer. Handing Keita another contract is a head scratcher unless he has taken a big pay cut. He has non stop niggling injuries, has never established himself with a run of games.

LFCMike 3,009 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Fabinho is 28. They're not going to sign just anyone because we have injuries for a few weeks, as Klopp has said previously. Especially if it affects what they want to do there next summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2,276 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 So we have one midfield target? Bellingham is the only one we are linked with which would be impossible this window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were we linked to Fabinho in the press before he signed? Jota? Anyway I recall a link to a player from Sporting although can't recall if it was reported by anyone reliable.

Dr. Gonzo 8,186 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I'm a bit worried about our midfield just because we're relying on so many injury prone players this season. I think this is a big year for Jones (although he's already injured), Elliott, and Carvalho. There will be enough moments for them to get big chances to stake a claim in the midfield. I'm also wondering if with the injuries we've got right now if we'll see a bit of a different formation to our usual formation. I doubt it though, seems like Klopp hates changing the shape unless he absolutely has to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcanuck 175 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Why didn't you try to get Wijnaldum back? I always thought he performed well for Liverpool. He's now gone to Roma on loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick 2,276 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 We rely too much on injury prone players. Thiago, Ox, Keita, Jones. Losing Thiago for the next six weeks is terrible news, and if we don’t bring in a quality CM then we haven’t learned from the 20/21 season.

It doesn't sound like you haven't learned from that season though, it sounds like you've tried to sign two separate high profile centre mids and missed out on them (one for the foreseeable, the other for this season). But transfer strategy's are hard and sometimes you have to wait 6 months - 12 months longer than you'd want for your target to come in, because the player you're signing needs to fit the bill for a 5-6 year period, not just the next 6 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised you've persisted with Ox for so long, especially considering he had his injury problems beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
