Mate, we will agree to differ on this one

But a question, if we miss champions league, and lose Rico our best player, someone we should be building the team around, who would you replace him with so we don’t go backwards

Saka or Martinelli from Arsenal.


RB.
Coleman
Holgate
Godfrey
Kenny

Meanwhile
CF.
DCL
& an off form Richy

We should be bringing in a forward.

Colemans contract expires in 2022...injuries and inconsistency are creeping in now.

Holgate / Godfrey are centre backs or utility players. Even if we class both as good enough at right back (under the current system) you always need an attacking full back as an option.

Kenny clearly isnt considered good enough.


Theres an opportunity for us to bring in a right back now...there are a few available and rather than waiting till mid-end of summer we should be bringing one in now.

If you want to be a top side then you need to cover the 'unfashionable' positions....

A top right back would start, Zaha wouldnt.


CF: DCL / Richarlison / Kean / Tosun....and Zaha....

Not for me.

I wouldn’t want Zaha now. But had he been bought him in the summer he wouid have started probably half the games this season and come off the bench in the rest, with the injuries/suspensions to Richarlison and James.

And I’d imagine Ancelotti would have rested DCL a couple of times. We need At least 4 top class attackers for those 3 positions, playing 50 games a season, Liverpool have been incredibly lucky to have their front 3 fit and playing virtually every game for the last 3yrs
 

We need a (good) goalie, RB, creative Midfielder who is also box to box and does everything, and a forward who can play across the line.

we also need to sell/shift about 10 players

Yep. The recent good form hasn’t changed the size of the turnaround job Ancelotti and Brands need to do.

Goalkeeper
Starting right back
Midfielder who can cover for Allan or Doucoure
Right winger
Striker

That’s as a minimum. Then the likes of Lossl Pennington Kenny Baningime Besic Bolasie Sigurdsson Walcott Tosun all need to be moved out the squad.
 
Anyone who has looked at our accounts knows we won’t be lumping that sort of money on a 28/29 year old whose main attribute is pace - would just be repeating the same short termism that has got us into the ffp predicament we’re going to find ourselves in when covid finally ends.

Am hoping brands can pull some rabbits out of the hat - when he arrived i was looking forward to seeing us acquire some relative unknowns and turn them into world beaters but there’s been a sparse return in that area - generally when we’ve bought foreign players they’ve been physically not suited to the premier league. Hopefully he’s learnt from his mistakes.

Not sure if brexit work permit issues will knacker any of those plans mind.
They likely will.
finding relative unknowns will become relatively unknown except if they're from Scotland or Ireland.

Well, we brought in Godfrey, Allan, Doucoure for less than £75mil combined...

Zaha would have cost 2/3 of that which for me wouldnt make sense...

Weve got Kean and either he goes for a big fee which we can use on someone or he stays. We dont know yet...

Also need to clear Tosuns wages off the books.
