Cannot believe we got stuck with your boy Baker.

Believe in Baker. His arm makes Brady look like a twiglet.

I'd let her shove plugs made of lego up my arse. She has aged beautifully.

Early days in this Palace v Arsenal match but Doucoure looking really impressive so far.

 

Quick, tough, good tackler, stays on his feet, positionally aware, kept his passing simple, a stout foundation on which his side can build an attack.

 

Impressed in these first minutes.

[Chris]

 

 

It's quite hard to get a handle on whether Doucoure would be good for us. As he's playing Hodgball, he doesn't do a lot beyond jogging back and forth in front of the back four occupying spaces. Not really anything like what he'd be doing for us.

 

Not saying we wouldn't benefit from a bit of that, but it's not how he'll be deployed.

 

[TD_LFC]

We need a bit of that, if he's occupying the space it means the opposition aren't walking through it.

[LFC 6 Times]

We’ll finish at least 10 points ahead of Arsenal.

[Scott_M]

I’ve not even noticed Doucoure is playing.

I say true things all the time. But I don’t mind if you continue to think I don’t. It actually amuses me.

Very good point this, playing the 6 are two quite different things in a Hodgson team and a Klopp team. 
 

That said he’s looked a good player from the little I’ve seen, but agree with the point that it’s difficult to judge.

Are you suggesting his methods don’t translate?

Do car thieves and bin dippers fit in perfectly in Liverpool? I think not.

 

I also think people who make such statements are mentally sick.

 

Get well soon.

That feels a very manc reaction........

Two sides of the same coin.

Apparently he's capable of a lot more and showed it when playing in France. Just playing to instructions I guess.

Then give us some quality transfer chat, Beef, mate. What does this team need, then?

Buy a decent right back, if we are not getting a specialist 6.

 

Sorted.

Where does Trent move then? To the bench, to a new club or into midfield? If it’s midfield I suggest you watch the Bournemouth goal again.

Well he's either midfield or he's in defence he cant play in two places that's what causing us to lose our shape.

 

With a solid right back we might be able to can these stupid long ball over the top goals.

Thats it dude. Football is a simple game.

 

I think Jurgen has made it more complex than he needed, we shouldnt be all at sea against some of the shittest teams around.

 

We shipped 4 against Furth, one against Darmstadt (who hadnt scored in several games up to that point) and two against Bournemouth in four minutes, ok it was chalked off but we were still all over the place.

 

If he wants to continue this crazy formation then he needs to go out and buy the players he needs to make it work, otherwise change the formation back.

I'd be interested in her parents opinions on the situation though I'd guess there's a number of zero's reason why we might never hear it.

 

The poor kid will have an interesting up bringing.

Imagine being the girls dad,knowing he has has done that to her?

No matter how loaded he is,I'd wanna rip his throat out

[TD_LFC]

Don't think 4-3-3 is that crazy a formation.

Not sure how I've missed these Burnley signing videos.

So you’re saying the inverted full back system that Arsenal and City played last season isn’t for us?

 

And with a new ‘solid’ right back in place I assume you want Trent in midfield then? Which I very much doubt is a good option, can’t see that he’s suited to it. Bournemouth’s goal was a perfect example why.

 

I agree by the way, that we’re a shambles defensively. But I dont think the solution is getting a ‘solid’ right back in. Our best spell by some distance  last season was with Trent as the inverted full back. We were shit defensively before the change, and probably almost as shit after, but results improved.
