I'd like us to get a proper DM in before the window shuts.

At fault for the second goal and has looked his usual self. Looks like his hattrick of assists against Fulham was his one good game in 10.

Loan here. Loan there. Loan everywhere. Shut up and buy.

What's Rice?

How long have we been asking for him to be upgraded on? 2017?

@Vesper What's the TL;DR version

Then what should we do? We know what we are getting from both Alonso and Emerson. Two LB's who are clearly not good enough and are prone to defensive errors. Do we then chuck Dave there and completely null that left side's width, which has proved to be equally as frusturating? I really don't understand the logic here. Fact of the matter is, we have no 'good' option for that left side until Chilwell. Personally, I'm glad Lampard threw him under the bus. A player with his experience, should not be prone to these errors over and over again. But then again, we already know what we are getting.

What are Rice's stats in transition?

It's evident we need a DM and the team will continue to look defensively poor until the space in midfield is covered.

Sensible Liverpool fans stayed quite about it. Wonder why.

40 million + Ruben?

Finishing top 4 comfortably is probably the only requirement Lampard must accomplish imo

Havertz needs to adjust to the pace. It’s clear to see

We go 3 at the back we are nailed on to lose Saturday. Hasnt that always been the case?

I lied. I'd like to see us give it a go here. Mendy Dave---Tomori---Silva---Chilwell Kovacic----Barkley Havertz Mount--------------------CHO Werner

Rest Mount, Werner, and James. I'd still start Havertz.

My point is that neither option we have at the moment is good enough. Be it Alonso, Emerson or Dave. Emerson has been given a run of games under Lampard and has continued to look an utter liability. Either Lampard plays two defensively poor left backs or Dave who completely limits our width on the left side, which has been infuriating time and time again. There's no right answer here.

Lampard singling Alonso out and blaming him in his post match presser. Don't remember ever hearing him single players out and dig into them like that. I really can't fault him for selecting Alonso when I think about it. Dave at LB handicaps us and limits our width on the left side. Emerson really doesn't have the IQ you want in a top full back. Alonso can at least offer a set piece presence, both attacking and defending.

Shithouses will always been an issue unless both Lampard and the players know what they are expecting. And at this point, it should already be figured out.

Let it remember it was Alonso's annoyingly lazy header into danger that started this. Shocking.

Inexcusable really. Lost for words.

Has Foden really done anything other than score or assist a goal in a game that finishes 4 or 5-0?

So long they are fit and ready come United, I don't care. We have some winnable games until then.

Surprised by Giggs.

We are 3 game in! Why are we so quick to lose trust in a young player?
