Evening Ed001. As an example you have previously called out Clyne as a weak link. However he is rarely if ever called out by the so called experts on TV. I realise they have their own agenda and are not always great at analysis in any meaningful way.

Following that, It would be really useful to see clips alongside some explanation, have you considered doing any YouTube clips with commentary as I think that would be really insightful. I just like to enjoy the game live when I watch but post match reviews with clips would be great addition to the site if possible?

Ps. I am not diagreeing with you trust your judgement but struggle sometimes to see why Clyne given so much stick, hence using him as an example.

{Ed001's Note - actually that is something I am currently working on now, analysis with footage to explain it, along with a few other bits and pieces, for a YouTube channel.}

Do you think that is wise ed. Nobody deserves the abuse that the players will get from those videos.
Higgins all you need to do is look at clyne when he has the ball, the lad just is not up to the job.

{Ed001's Note - it will be more than just a pick at a player's shortcomings, it will make sure to point out their strengths as well. Plus there will be a lot more, including short documentaries, interviews, tactical analysis etc.}

When did ed001 called Clyne a weak link? I missed that, but it echoed my thoughts exactly. Even Milner outshone Clyne as a fullback, and that said a lot.

He see a lot fight balls going forward, but has done precious nothing with it, no taking it to the byline and cross, and in facet the less said about his crossing the better.
Had not seen him being a menace on the ball like a Johnson was.

I have seen many goals (and ed, your footage will help) where crosses come in from the left, or second ball falling into our right, that Clyne is not tracking an incoming attacker.

The one plus point about Clyne is his fitness though, as in he seldom get injured.

{Ed001's Note - he is very quick and strong as well.}

Must say the system saints played suited him very well.

{Ed001's Note - they played with wide players who were the focal point of the attack supported by fullbacks, rather than Clyne being the main wideman in the attacking third. It is very much playing to his weakness, rather than his strength.}

To give Klopp some credit I'm sure he is aware of Clyne's less useful attributes but probably had to prioritise the spend last summer so getting a decent wide player - Mane - was a better decision than splashing out on a new right back. Perhaps that's what we'll look to do this summmer?

{Ed001's Note - it is certainly planned. We looked at a few last summer as well, so Klopp knew.}

Thanks Ed. It wasn't meant to be a Clyne bashing or to put you on the spot. That player just came to mind as his weaknesses aren't as obvious to me. Like you say we have a whole team of players with strengths and weaknesses. If you can point out the less obvious stuff I would personally like to see it. Thanks for your response and look fwd to seeing something in the future 👍🏻.

{Ed001's Note - cheers mate, I don't want to just bash players when I do it. Even if I don't rate them, I intend to try and pick out their strengths as well. Then people can decide for themselves.}
