OP, Okay then. Anything else?
08 Jul 2023 12:47:38
We need a DM more than a new CB, if just one more player to buy, then it should be a DM, a DM who can deputy as a CB, but primarily a DM. A DM that can go straight into the first 11 and give Fabinho a run for his money.
1.) 08 Jul 2023 13:06:56
Fabinho was quality at CB. wonder if this would be considered if a DM is signed.
2.) 08 Jul 2023 14:15:06
Why can we only buy one more player? Why do this to yourself?
We have to refresh midfield AND central defence. So let's get on with it like a normal club.

I remember Fabinho being pretty poor at CB. Not suited to it at all.
4.) 08 Jul 2023 14:43:12
Fabinho was awful at CB, he pushed up too high, stepped forward too often and dived in too much, great when you win the ball but leaves you totally exposed when you don’t. Further to that, we’re now playing the back three system which requires fast mobile defenders, Fabs problem this season has been that he has looked leggy without others around him, playing as a right sided cb is just going to further exploit these deficiencies in his game. If he is playing he plays at DM for me!
5.) 08 Jul 2023 23:34:36
Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams improved our defence from when we had Fabinho and Henderson back there.
Somebody else said recently that Fabinho can play left back and a few people said right back. At least he used to play right back previously so that's understandable, however he really isn't suited there, at all.
Let's just hope he can recover some form for defensive midfield and if he's playing as poor as most of last season then hopefully he won't be playing much. He's still young enough to come back but it's already last chance saloon for him at Liverpool.

As much as I like Fabs he bloody wasn’t good at CB. We were much better with Phillips and Williams, two players very likely to take the next steps in their career at championship and league 1 levels respectively. Titus Bramble would have been better at CB than Fabs.
7.) 09 Jul 2023 12:36:26
Williams and Phillips were better because Fabinho went back into midfield. So they had some protection, which Fabinho did not have when he was playing at the back. I’m not advocating that Fabinho should play at the back now, by the way. And if he is to continue playing in midfield, he will need Trent playing h the inverted full back alongside him.

Hello Ed001, cold you weigh in on our new look squad by the time Slot is done. From his antecedents, do you think he will go with a false nine (Diaz or Wirtz), or are we hoping to buy a new CF to compete with Jota? Also what is your opinion on the new full backs and how they will affect our plan defensively and going forward? Also who do you see dropping from our midfield or attack with the introduction of Wirtz?
{Ed001's Note - I think he will continue to go with horses for courses and sometimes we will play a false 9 or even 2 10s, other times it will be a centre-forward up top.
It looks like the full-backs are going to be similar to the old Klopp way, something most of us loved watching, with them bombing down the flanks and creating chances. Most of the time anyway, I expect he will change that about to suit the situation as well.
He will rotate the midfield, Gravy really struggled at times with a need for a rest, I am sure he spotted that and will make sure to rest him.}
1.) 01 Jul 2025 13:17:01
I’m guessing giving Gravenberch a rest might be part of the drive behind signing Guehi, as he can play defensive midfield Ed?
{Ed001's Note - I think it is more about replacing Quansah and him being about the best homegrown option. We are tight on non-homegrown spots, so finding a homegrown player would be a plus right now.}
2.) 01 Jul 2025 13:51:14
I wonder if we will possibly utilise Szoboszlai in the Gravenberch role when he needs a rest, he may not be as silky on the ball but he is grafter and decent on the ball.
3.) 01 Jul 2025 14:13:37
@Lamborini, Szob is much more than decent on the ball especially when he has time to pick a pass. Infact, with Trent gone, I think he is the best long passer in our team. It's just that as an AM he is hardly asked to make those passes. Also, the one weakness Gravy has is long range passing. Its incredible how wayward his long range passes are. If he works on this skill too, he would be nearly unstoppable.

The Hungary coach has said Scrabble could play 6 or 8 with ease.
5.) 01 Jul 2025 14:54:55
I think “could” is the best scrabble score you’ve got there, Lit.
6.) 01 Jul 2025 15:30:04
The Hungary coach has said "DOM"-ination could play 6 or 8 with ease!
7.) 01 Jul 2025 17:46:04
Marco Rossi said: “I really think that in the future, he could be a fantastic number six. He has all the skills to be in this position, like [Andrea] Pirlo was, just to give an example. ”
“I think Pirlo was the best in this position in the last 15 years, and Dominik has really good skills to play in this position. ”.
8.) 01 Jul 2025 23:08:04
He's not in the same league as Pirlo and never will be.

Name one swap deal done by Liverpool in recent times.
22 Aug 2021 23:28:03
What WhyOWhy and MK Scouser said. He has a need to be the Messi in a team, so that if off the ball, you cut him some slack, but we all know that won't fly in a Klopp team.
23 Sep 2020 18:09:10
@KLoppDog, I would sell Origi, Shaq and of course Karius. With them gone and the current squad, i would only include an English CB from the lower leagues who is able to give Gomez a run and still keep relatively injury free. I loved Fab against Chelsea, but prefer him in a midfield 2 besides Thiago.
I am really excited about this season.
YNWA.
21 Sep 2020 10:36:44
Fab has a mean streak in him, as a DM this is okay, but not as a CB. The risk would be too much.
{Ed025's Note - hes your second best centre back after VVD for me xpertoyin, reads the game very well and kept werner quiet yesterday which is not easy mate..
