Dont think being quick is a requirement for that type of player. Alonso might have been amongst the slowest players we've had, but also amongst the best.
And look at Sahin under Klopp.
If anything a CB or a CM. Hoping Gomez will make the position his own now though.
Still would love us to sign Neves. Tho i doubt January would be likely for that.
Dull game for sure.
But if any of you think Switzerland or Sweden would have been walk over's for either England or Colombia you are mad.
In 26 games or so this was Switzerlands second loss in something like 25-26 games. Only previous loss Portugal away. Sweden knocked out Holland in the qualifying group and Italy in a 2 leg knock out. I agree neither side should be in a quarter final of the WC, but its upsets like this which is part of the fun i reckon.
I think he would start plenty of games for us. Having 5 players to rotate between 3 or 4 (depending on how we set up) positions is not a lot. He probably look at us and think fuck, thats the kind of football i want to play. Looks to be a perfect fit i would say.
Or is it because Real and Barca cant afford these crazy prices. Barca likely being in the hole from Coutinho and Dembele still. And Real going for Neymar...
Wouldnt surprise me in the slightest to see Mourinho splashing something ridiculous on Griezmann.
Well if something showed up on the medical it could potentially change the whole deal. Insuring players cost a lot of money, insuring someone with a suspect knee issue will cost a hell of a lot more. Especially if he cost 60 mill and earns around 90k per week...
Think these concussion articles are coming from Karius end, trying to save his career.
Seems to me Klopp gave him the rest of the season to prove himself, and he proved himself not to be up to it.
We will sign a new goalkeeper or ill be extremely surprised.
Klopp isnt orthodox, but he is pragmatic.
