Dont worry the Echo have got their daily Mbappe "story"! There's a Mbappe ""boost" - is the boost that he can play centre back?

 

We won't even buy a centre back when we have none - why the fuck do they think we're going to spend £200m on a striker? 

 

M’bappe is becoming our Bramley Moore Dock.

Keep reading the 'Liverpool don't do/aren't interested in short term fixes' line.

 

And of course we would want ideally to bring in our proper (hopefully already identified) long term solution, but if we can't do that until the Summer then surely given the extent of the problem and the state of how we are trying to cover it then looking at a loan to end of season of a good pacey centre half or looking to buy maybe someome who can come in and perform now who will be 3rd or 4th pick next season makes sense to me.

 

Phillips, Williams or Henderson are actually short term fixes - and very bad ones at that, which are causing us big problems and causing knock on effects as we weaken midfield and so on (as has been well documented by many on here)

 

So the short term fix line i find irritating....we are doing exactly that anyway at present - badly.

There's no excuse for not signing a CB. It would be negligent in the extreme. It's pretty clear now that, although they've done well in the circumstances, Williams and Phillips both aren't good enough. We're a Fabinho injury away from having Henderson and Williams/Phillips at CB ffs. 

All things considered I'm pretty disappointed that we're going into a top of the table game with our biggest rivals with this centre back situation. It's not that it weakens just the defence, it's destabilised the whole team and the way we play.

It's essentially giving up if they don't get anyone. If we win the league or Champions League with the current options we have now at centre back, I'll never post again.

Did you not say you would pack in when we won the league as we had achieved what you wanted us to? Sounds familiar? 
Hope we win the PL or CL and you stay mate.

I think I said I would think about it. Nice memory, though.

 

I'm more categorical with this one. If we win the league or Champions League without getting anyone this January, I will absolutely follow through with that. I want an element of thrill and danger in this generally very shit season.

We would need amazing performances and lots and lots of luck. Just sign a defender Liverpool.
