Pre-Season 2023

[Carvalho Diablo]

Fuck this retarded fullback shit off, get a starting quality 6, and win the fucking lot.

[stringvest]

I think our new midfield will throw into sharp relief just how bad our old one was with the two who've moved to Saudi.  They always got the benefit of the doubt with a lot of our fans, but really they were piss poor,

Henderson was always a poor technical midfielder. Could never take the ball under pressure and would hoof under any press.

 

Fab was top class up to last season.

Seems odd that Jurgen says Nunez won't get game time at centre forward until he sorts out his defending, but we have a team whose defenders don't even defend a lot of the time.

Tells me he knows we haven't got the tools to play how he wants to now - but we will have.

 

I'd rather he recognised that and found another answer until we do have the tools to play how he wants to.

Give it Doaksy.

[bossy]

All do the Oaky Doaky. 

[niallers]

Luckily Chelsea are under new management and are a basket case off the pitch. A draw would be perfectly fine on Sunday, as would away to the magpies next away game, providing we beat Bournemouth.

[Dr Nowt]

Harsh on Trent. Sounds more like they’re rating Naby lad.

Away from our obvious and well documented problems - Szobo has good quality from corners/frees and Macca is really handy at picking up ball in good areas and carrying it into dangerous ones to feed attack - that for me is why he should not be a makeshift No.6 - we lose that if he is.

 

[Red Phoenix]

Not sure what's going on with our defence as usual but good to see we're still scoring well. It's interesting to know that Mac has played holding mid for Brighton in the past too so he could be an option there if needed.

Klopp:

 

The situation is clear, the diagonal protection is not there. We cannot avoid each pass in behind our line, we just have to make sure that we are then in better positions. Besides that, we scored two goals after set-pieces, which is important. We could have scored one from a high-press situation, which is good as well and besides that we played a lot of good stuff without finishing the situations off. With the physical state I am really happy, we looked really fresh, looked really good - now, in the next five or six days, we have to find a formation for the Chelsea game, not for the whole season, and then we go from there. All OK, nobody got injured, so that's the most important thing. We came through so far OK and that's good.

 

 

 

On Alexis Mac Allister playing as a No.6...

 

He's a top-class player; on the ball [and] without the ball. We had our moments where we were a bit too open, that's clear, but we are not used to it. That's why I said we had to work on it. We will do that. We have to try it and test a couple of different things. Yes, in a compact formation, Alexis can play there, definitely. If he's there alone, should he play there? No. But now he showed just how good a footballer he is and how good he understands the game because he played here now [for] the first time for us at least and he did really well.

Shut up you fucking pea-puree 

[sir roger]

To be fair I reckon at least 3 of the Bayern / Darmstadt goals would have a good chance of being ruled out with VAR in place.

Repped. 

[Daisy]

Why the fuck do we need to find a formation just for Chelsea. Lavia isnt going to solve the formation problems.

Can you kindly explain your reasoning behind this?

 

I assume you are aware Chelsea’s squad has more holes than a sieve? 
 

This was their starting 11 in their last friendly…

 

 

…Nkunku is now injured so your boy Mudryk might play. 
 

I 100% think we can beat that.

Is it because we play them next?

I wouldn’t quite go to those lengths, I genuinely think it’s causing more issues than it’s solving.

 

We can all see the issues with the space he’s leaving. 

 

I do like Trent coming into the middle, he looks good on the ball, however, do we really need him to come into the middle, or at least so often? He has so much quality on the ball, he’s one of our most influential players even playing at right back. 
 

I think we’re causing issues for ourselves.

I agree with this.

Just before their goal last night, Trent committed a clumsy foul over in the left wing position. Why is he there at all ?

You dont now try to find a formation for one single game with no more pre season games left to prepare. We are a shambles

[Pidge]

I think Klopp is decent manager who will know how to prep for upcoming matches.
