Which for me is why he needs to sack off internationals.

No way I would be sacking them off...:Blink:

And you think James is 100% fit when he's asking to be substituted during a match?

LOL mate TAA will be back in time for Liverpools first game after the break dont be fooled.

No, I don't think James was fit. But Ancelotti said as much before the Utd game. But it's the same as Colombia as it is for us - he's their best player, and they need him, so when he's available, he plays. He clearly loves playing for them. It's crap for us right now but it's what happens when you sign a countries' best player.

TAA has actually been ruled out for 4-5 weeks, though. He's done his calf. Him going off for the last 30 minutes on Sunday could easily have cost Liverpool, couldn't it?
 

I mean.. there is an argument to move him behind DCL and utilise him in that 'free' role as part of a 4-2-3-1. For the sake of drawing a comparison, the reds did that the other night against City with Jota turning their usual front 3 into a 4. This would completely free him of any need to track back to cover the RB because instead that job would fall to the player on the right of the front 4.

The caveat here, of course, is that we'd need a player for the right-hand side of a similar profile and quality to Richarlison. Whether this is in Ancelotti & Brands' plan or not is another question, but either way if we plan on sticking with James on the right then we really need to figure out a better, more consistent way of nullifying attacks down our right as that's been one of our main weaknesses for a handful of games now..

As much quality as he has, in games where he's being specifically targeted then he needs some more support/legs around him.
