Pizy 18,916 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Now that we’re more used to playing a back 4 again I think we should try Mudryk left, Kai up top, Madueke right and Félix in the hole just behind Kai. But to do that we need to buy Caicedo so we have a solid midfield 2 behind those 4. NikkiCFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I think in the position that we're in right now, there were quite a few positives to take today. I know it's hardly a vintage Liverpool side currently with their own struggles, but given the starting XI we put out and some of the inexperience in there playing away at Anfield, I thought the application and effort from the team was overall excellent. Defensively gave them little and looked solid. Thiago Silva is quite literally a joke, it should be illegal how good he is at his age. I do really like Badiashile too. He's a bit raw in some instances but he looks extremely promising and definitely looks a more solid bet than Koulibaly who I think will find his days numbered as players start to return from injury. Again, just lacking at times that final ball, or shot. The composure in and around the box just isn't good enough currently, but there were some much improved passages of play and a bit more personality to our game than recent weeks. 13 days now until the next game, new signings to bed in, injured players closer to full fitness and two positive results to build on. It does just feel like things are turning a little bit for the better, and you can see that a bit more in GP's demeanour and press conferences too. Mudryk looks very promising. That pace, utilised properly and effectively, will be an absolute weapon. But I'd seen his pace and dribbling abilities on videos before today's game, what impressed me even more was other parts of his game. Looked technically very accomplished, good choice and weight of pass, willingness to run, tracked back and won the ball a couple of times. From what I've seen in the brief performances so far from Mudryk, Badiashile and even Felix is promising to suggest that our transfers this window are positive to the long term build of the side. That in itself leaves me much more open minded to trust the new scouting and recruitment teams to get decisions right on signings. bluesman2610, calculatingInfinity, NikkiCFC and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can harvest of our process within 1-2 years we will be sooo set for the future with the organization Boehly is building. I think the future is very bright and we will see huge improvements as soon as we get some first team players back in the squad and the likes of Mount, Gallagher and Ziyeh on the bench/sold. Ziyech is our most creative player and has been one of the best players in the last few games and you want him sold????

Yup him and Pulisic have to go. It’s easy to be our most creative player in the attacking group we had before Felix and Mudryk showed up but from what I’ve seen of these two we won’t have to rely on just the hopeful swung in balls from the flank ulsterchelsea, Johnnyeye, Vesper and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew he had the physical tools to handle the switch to this league but was very unsure about how he’d adjust to the pace of the PL game. But he has looked very calm, cool, and composed in his first 2 matches. Couple of rushed or sloppy passes and a couple of times where he has misjudged his positioning but that should be ironed out in time.

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Another injury with Chalobah. I know I said a few weeks ago that I expect an injury every other game with the way its going, but come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I think Ziyech might be kept now to the summer at least. Granted he wasn’t brilliant but he had put a few good crosses in from open play and set plays. He really has a unique skillset despite not having blistering pace. sLOVEnian Blue and didi007 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculatingInfinity 1,472 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Baby steps and all, but certainly another step in the right direction under Potter. I think it will be a bit of a rocky road still, but good performance all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
