Blue Armour 4,477 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Midfield marshal Gallagher,... what a disaster waiting to happen. Even Enzo is off-form. Can't believe they're toying with the idea of setting us on the back foot without a DM in place. It's clear the club only has Caicedo in mind, but will drag this transfer saga out for the sake of pride or whatever BS reason. Here's hoping Poch and the team somehow pull a miracle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lack a DM too, but I'm just concerned about the Enzo Gallagher combo being too porous and easy to press into submission. Enzo in form would have changed things, but I don't think he had the best preseason tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kante 1,643 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 The disrespect Gallagher gets bewilders me. For sure, not the greatest technical player, but a boy who wants to be here and gives 100%. Alex Ferguston made a career out of having players like that in all his title winning sides - see Wes Brown, John O'Shea, Darren Flecther etc for examples.

That's the thing, Gallagher would be a perfect squad option to have, but never should he be an absolute starter in a CL aspiring team. I don't want him gone, good to have some Chels DNA in the squad, but come on, at the moment he can't be the best we can put out.

Nkunku out already weakens our attacking potential significantly. losing Kante and Kovacic without replacement has completely gutted our midfield. lucio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,384 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 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.

NikkiCFC 8,380 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Isn't Poch known for his flexibility? If Nkunku is out it makes sense to switch to 433. Gallagher Caicedo Enzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallagher Caicedo Enzo Am thinking he'll do that too.gotta crowd midfield but easy to switch between the 2,aslong as the CAM isnt a lazy sit in the pocket type,he can be the point in a MF 3 too.

Angelo will go to Straßburg next few days and Maatsen was only good as winger vs wrexham. Sterling is frustrating but when it counts he knows where the goal is.

Defo need 3 man MF here. Hurts not to have Kova and Kante here or at least someone like zakaria with defensive presence and ball carrying ability.

Gallagher Caicedo Enzo 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.
