I honestly think Zappa would be much more effective in that position.

45 mins without a shot on target. Willian needs to give way for Giroud and potentially more threat added to our midfield.

Hazard should have slotted that away

Emerson isn't even the squad. I don't know what to think at this point

The club need to stay clear of stopgaps

Have more faith

How do you go from dominating to this? Cesc should have come off a while ago too

Emerson starting is the main takeaway from the XI. Hope Sarri is finally taking notice

You could use that same thought progress across Europe. Very few FB's excel on both sides of the field. The definition of a solid player to most, is someone that is reliable and will put in a shift, but offer nothing more. That's why my reply said what it did, yet you've now gone on a tangent to discredit him even more. Each to their own

Their CL exit could play a part in Inter's willingness to listen to offers. However, he'll only end up at Real should he make the move next month.

That's arguable, but it still doesn't take away from that statement. He's the best LB in the league right now and among the top 3 FB's in the league. Your replies are making out we're talking about someone akin to Van Aanholt.

He's one of the best FB's in the Prem. A "solid player" is doing him a disservice.

He's dying to cost us some way or another

Awful defending. Game back on just like that

Total domination. Nice to have someone lead the line that can finish

He is anything but their first, second or third choice, so it wouldn't be unthinkable if they didn't lodge a bid.

Still going to hear about Alonso's (set pieces) after tonight?

Making sure he gets noticed. [emoji57]

Given the chance today

Nice to see Ampadu given a start for the first time this season. Youth players have to take their chance when they arise

And Ampadu. I wouldn't be surprised if we go after Rugani again

Yet he was still Liverpool's top scorer and they were second for most of the time. It's fair enough to argue your stance on which you prefer, but don't diminish the former with nonsense. Salah is arguably the most effective winger in Europe.

That isn't the problem. Juve & Madrid knew his place whilst we have him a chance to take the next step. He just doesn't have what it takes to lead a line at the top level or even EL level tbh.

Needs to make his stance clear at this point, instead of playing games when given the chance.
