Hi Ed's,
Possible to share what has happened to Liverpools internet in Matheus Nunes?
Understand we had scouted him as an alternative to Bellingham.

{Ed002's Note - A good question. Was certainly of interest and again very versatile. Right now I still see Gravenberch as the focus for that versatile position and Doucoure as the DM priority if available It leaves w
Endo as a squad player but the side would, in my view be better off.}

If we could secure dacoure and gravenberch and a left footed centre half (although robbo had his best game
In this new formation for a while today )

Offload
Nat
Tsimi

The squad would look a lot more balanced and like you say healthier.

Agree ed002
Up the pool.

Wouldn’t that be too many MF?
Saz
Mac
Endo
Graven
Doucoure
Jones
Elliot
Bag
Thiago

That’s 9 players for 3 positions!

Thiago gone in 12 months or this summer. You can make 5 subs and play in Europe, so 8 feels about right.

I’d say 9 is bang on as it’s the area of the pitch which needs the most refreshing throughout the season.

Jones and Thiago love a injury I’d take them out of the equation.

Last season we had
Henderson
Milner
Keita
Fabinho
Ox
Arthur
Thiago
Jones
Elliott
Bag.

ED002 - Are Crystal Palace looking at Doucoure replacements just in case they sell him? I think you mentioned Thuram and someone else they've looked at. Hoping Liverpool try for him. We miss that kind of player. Happy to RTFP if you've already answered this. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - They would like to avoid selling which is what they have told an interested side but if the price were "right" that may change.}

There aren’t many teams in the league, if any, who have the depth in midfield that we’ve had.

Red carded today and deserved it. Acting like a pr1ck.

No thanks ?.

Think I remember stevie g getting sent off against manutd within a couple of mins of coming on, acting like a prick doesn't make u a bad player.

I think an experienced core of Doucoure, Macca, Szobo, Thiago, Jones and Endo and then 2 very talented youngsters in Elliott and Bajcetic would be perfect, but if Gravenberch comes in we could let Thiago leave.

That setup has a great balance of defence and attack and we also have the option to play Trent in midfield if we need another option.

VVD looks much better, although the defensive organisation remains a shambles.

I agree monkey but the team setup was dangerously open for the first 20mins with Trent tucking into midfield and Konate almost playing as a RB when we had possession and were building from the back. It left a 30 yards gap between our CBs for them to counterattack into if we lost possession, which we did a few times.

It was only once Trent started staying a bit wider or Szobo covered that role, and the CBs could close up a bit more that we felt more solid. I even thought we looked decent once we went to 10 and played a 4-4-1!

Hopefully we learn from the game and start to step up with a bit more balance, and then I reckon VVD and Konate could become an awesome partnership this season.

I understand what you mean Ron but most players not carried away at some point or other. I seem to remember Nunez head butting someone last season but he’s not a prick or a bad player. Nunez isn’t exactly Roy Keane or Joey Barton going out to hurt people, just acted stupidly in the moment which I am sure he probably regrets.

I remember hearing when nunes joined wolves that he had 40ish million clause. Was there any truth in that eds?

{Ed002's Note - It is irrelevant.}

Ed002, who do you think is the alternative to the DM spot if the club does no manage to secure Doucoure?

{Ed002's Note - I expect Liverpool would use Endo.}

Personally of the opinion that now we have Endo, should rather try get Andre in for January rather than Doucoure now.

no way was that a red card.
