The ‘Buy Nabil Fekir’ Campaign

[El Rojo]

Djellit’s as reliable as they come.

 

Welcome to Liverpool, Nabil.

[Pidge]

The best a man can get.

Repped for hiding your light under a bushel.

When Lemar was being linked last summer, I kept hoping we would go for Fekir who I consider the superior player. He probably would have moved from Lyon before Lacazette but had a bad injury the season before. Hopefully,we get the deal over the line.

[Hades]

We only sign Fekir if we lose Salah this summer or the following summer, so no thanks.

[Ginny]

I support Fekir F.C

I won't pay any attention until I either hear it on clubcall or read it on teletext.

Firmino’s back up / rotation option?

Good stats. Scores more with a blue ball.

Going to the Bloos then?

Where are we with this campaign?

[cloggypop]

Still fund raising

[Wezza]

Houllier at the game - it’s on!

[Lario]

Cunt was invisible for the whole game again today. No end product, and didn't even do the lap of honour. He also booed Mo's little girl.

 

Get rid.

Listening to the totally football podcast and the summation was he’s quality but just won’t fit in a 4-3-3.

[Dr Nowt]

Playing James Milner at left back, Bobby up front and Mignolet in goal shows Klopp isn’t afraid to play someone where they wouldn’t immediately seem best suited.

Heard that too — but I’m inclined to trust Klopps judgement in everything now over a bunch of after-the-fact journalists.

 

Wonder if Klopp eyes him playing behind Firmino in a 4-2-3-1 — like Reus behind Lewandowski.

[Jay86]

We’re very flexible because of the personnel we use but I can’t see Klopp changing much from the 4-3-3 that we’ve used most of the season, we may have the odd game where it’s changed up but we’ve done so well and got arguably the best attack in the league that to change formation now would be mad.

[3 Stacks]

4-2-3-1 is basically 4-3-3 but with a triangle midfield instead of an inverted triangle. It's not a massive change. I'm not 100% for the transfer for a few reasons, but putting a player of Fekir's ability in the #10 around Firmino, Salah and Mane would be great and doesn't change any of our current front three's positions. In fact, it's very complimentary because the one thing we're lacking attacking wise is a player who is brilliant in tight spaces like Fekir. 

[dockers_strike]

Beats me why people get hung up on formations. Once the game starts no team sticks rigidly to these christmas tree and other formations. Most of the time at Anfield we do not even kick off as a 433.

[Guest Alex_K]

I mean Madrid used to play 4-2-3-1 right, with Di Maria & Ronaldo wide of Oezil and behind Benzema, and scored what, 120 goals in a season? Mane & Salah are so quick up and down that it probably wouldn’t inhibit the attack, and would lend more control. It’s not quite like Yossi & Kuyt in those positions (though that team scored loads of goals too). The attack of the team has been good domestically .. but not like City’s. Can be improved.

[aRdja]

Is Fekir poor defensively? Could he slot in to one of the more attacking CM roles?

He has decent workrate, but I wouldn't think so. Not consistently, at least. Maybe against smaller teams.
