Summer 2021 transfer thread.

Look forward to loads of really weird takes on the news in the media.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Look forward to Liverpool resign Edwards on the last day of the window.

 

[Dr Nowt]

Liverpool are baffled by reports they’re intent on securing Monchi. FSG feel he would impede the progress of the work experience lad with a calculator they expect to be qualified for the role in 2037.

Not much time left to get this Mbappe deal done. I reckon they're just trying to make the last day more exciting for us and he will sign last minute.

Imagine persisting with Gerrard as RB.  He did moonlight there.  And had he continued there's he'd have clocked up loads of assists.  

The irony of Trent passing inside is that he's looking for someone like himself to pass to who can flick a ball around the corner with the outside of his boot and make a run.  

I think Trent is on another level to 99.9% of players.  

I agree Trent is on another level. I just think it's possible he has more chance to show that at right back in this team than midfield. We use our midfield as workhorses primarily. I don't see any comparison to Gerrard in terms of positioning. Right back was a defenders role when Gerrard played for Liverpool. That's not the role Trent plays.

Agree with this. The role of the midfield in this team is primarily to get the ball into the front 3 and full backs in the final third as quickly as possible, and also to cover the spaces when the opposition switches play or we lose the ball with our full backs up the field.

[Colonel Bumcunt]

Gerrard played RM for quite some time, a role that is largely now extinct as a result of the attacking FB role. 

 

Anyway, back to Trent.  I'd be frustrated if i was him.  All that crossing, he knows deep down that 99 out of 100 crosses will not result in a goal, our forwards being too small, or generally not gambling on attacking spaces. 

And so he comes inside, a 5 foot pass inside to Elliott or Salah or Fabinho. And then they pass it back. 

 

I think Thiago and Trent have a similar footballing brain.  I'd love to see them paired in the middle with Fab or Hendo deeper.

One persistent bugbear is the way in which our midfield service the front three, and are not themselves an attacking threat. 

 

I think our midfield sometimes take 3 passes to do something that need only take 1 pass. 

 

How seldom do we get Mane/Jota/Salah in behind a defence, using their pace to beat a defender to the ball?  We end up hardly ever seeing those three sprint.

He’s got shit loads of assists from crosses over the last few years.

 

We scored a headed goal from a cross against a team full of big centre halves just last week. Our best chance in the Chelsea game came from a header over the bar from a cross.

I thought our best chance was the one Henderson had while it was goalless. Again from a cross.

Yeah I meant to say in the second half. When they were down the 10, the only real chance we had came from a cross.

Yeah,  that was a joke of a miss.  Not even on target.

It looked like he'd decided to square it, with his weaker foot.

That chance could come to Henderson a thousand times and he'd miss it a thousand times. Just not part of his game.

I find it quite impressive that this thread is still going.

I suppose he might have fluked it like their goal.

Spurs spending more money. 

[Grinch]

The minute they leaked about homegrown spots after giving Adrian a new contract, this thread needed closed.

 

Pathetic window yet again under these cunts.
