I agree. Our only chance is to play a very direct game and forfeit possession.
If we lose I can see Poch making some public statements about needing quality in midfield and the fact he's been vocal about it all summer.
Let's be real here, we can probably forget adding Caicedo to the team sheet. Given how they've acted all summer moving at a snails pace, I don't expect things to suddenly change.
Will likely be a Gallagher/Enzo/Carney midfield.
One has to leave for Adams to come in. (assuming Caicedo is already here).
Reckon Adams only comes in if an insane offer comes for Gallagher. We are covering our bases by inquiring for Adams.
I'd imagine he'd be a depth option in replace of Gallagher? Probably simply just inquiring as a fall back. Doubt we'd actually bring him in unless things turn desperate.
Impressed me a lot during this preseason. Love how composed our young CBs are.
Not sure if he has a future here long term but definitely a player we could profit on immensely.
We really don't need to over complicate anything. Just instruct Colwill + Silva as well as the midfield to play direct balls to the attack.
Liverpool's midfield and backline have been sub par.
We don't even need to control the midfield against this Liverpool team. Quick, direct passes to the wings from build up will genuinely shit themselves.
Liverpool will either have Jones or Bajatic at DM. Liverpool completely shit themselves with one direct ball against their backline.
Need to play a very direct game against Liverpool and be clinical when it matters. Hoping the latter becomes a reality for a change.
Because Chalobah's book value profit (pure profit) will come as revenue before the 70% FFP cap comes into effect.
I don't believe the loan+option to buy rumor in the slightest, and if it is true the club will have 100% hung up the phone and put Inter on block.
His stats are based on an incredibly weak league in comparison to the Premier League.
Saw him against Liverpool and Napoli last season and he was dreadful.
