Hi Eds - Merry Christmas. Macca mentioned James Tarkowski in the summer as a Klopp target and talked about waiting until January, have you heard anything more on this from Macca or anyone else? Keep up the god work in 2019!

{Ed001's Note - nope. Macca has not been about and I have not heard it from anyone else either thankfully, as Tarkowski is god awful.}

isit just me or does Tarkowski and Maguire look a bit chubby? would have neither anyway was our current 4 CBs seem adequate enough.

{Ed001's Note - was that a typo and you meant clubby as in club-footed?}

Both Tarkowski and Maguire are bang awful. It will be a sad day if either were to sign for LFC and drag the club back into mediocrity.

Talking about "chubby" Ed001, I had a question for you. I was looking at quite a few clips on Firmino, from his time at Hoffenheim. I was surprised to see that he was considerably slimmer and definitely more agile and quicker. He seems to have gotten "bigger" at LFC and probably a split second slower. Is it me or is there an "issue" here?

{Ed001's Note - no issue English football is more physical and he has bulked up to cope. It is why he is able to go shoulder to shoulder and barge opponents off the ball and win it back so often.}

ed001 if we was looking at adding another centre back, what do you think about Conor Coady. Is he good enough and do you think he would come back knowing he is not first choice but with the games we play would get plenty of game time.
Cheers Ed001 have a great Christmas and new year and all reds to.

{Ed001's Note - not for me, he is very good in a back 3, where he is dropping deep and giving himself time to see what is going on. In a back 4 he struggles as he does not read the game well enough.}

Haa, i do mean chubby, esp Maguire. seems to just have put on a bit of weight though i can't tell ifs its muscles or fats.

but clubby works fine too in this context.

as for Coady, i asked the same qns as grino some time back. he does look decent, especially with his long passes that Wolves have put into good effect. but he does seem a little suspect defensively. he was culpable for Salah's opener. still, he was one we groomed and i do hope that he will have a good career and who knows, in his late 20s, might become a decent squad player for us?

{Ed001's Note - the opener was Boly at fault, as he was a number of times and Coady had to cover. He was also there to cover Bennett a couple of times. However he does need to be deep enough to spot the danger and come across, when he is up higher he just does not seem to read the game at all well. His passing is excellent though.}

Roberto "That's my ball" Firmino.

Tarkowski is woeful and a United supporter, there’s two reasons to say no!

Sadly I think Macca has abandoned us after the last couple of episodes. I sure wouldn't mind a slice of rumour from him, or one of those beauty sharkopods to get in the christmas mood, as the window starts cracking.

{Ed002's Note - There will be a Sharkopod latter in the week.}

Sharkopod this week? I love you ed002!

{Ed002's Note - That is the plan.}
