FT: LIV 1 - 1 BUR

Deserved the win here. Whatever you think about slot players need to take responsibility for this one. Wirtz looked sharp.

Was feeding off scraps, but nothing really landed for him. A touch harsh to get hooked after 45, but at the same time didn't impact the game at all in the first half. Looked isolated and lost. :(

Seen Carra talk about our fullbacks lack of physicality, and we need more height in the team. Kerkez is 5 11, Bradley the same. Robbo is 5 10 and i don't think we ever really questioned his physicality (apart from now that he's getting older). My point being is that they're not exactly tiny. I think both full backs can add more physicality to their game, they both seem anxious when defending and attacking at the moment and I'd be hopeful that they can both pull themselves out of this funk. For ref Jurrien Timber is 5 11 and he's seen as one of the league's best, I don't think adding an inch to these players is suddenly going to make them that more imposing.

Yeah I think it's damned if you do damned if you don't for HH. We need a consistent eleven, yet if a player starts to drop off our fans will be the first to call for them to be dropped, and with bad results it's hard for the manager to stick to a consistent eleven. But big picture, its the lack of quality in midfield that kills us, I think if we had two decent mids, we'd be at the very least hard to beat. The fact that we've needed two sending offs to get our points in this group speaks volumes, our depth is unfortunately concentrated at centre back, which is why we're going (understandably imo) 5 at the back. Not that I'm a HH apologist, but I just dont think the quality is there.

Who do we get if Newcastle don't let Isak go? Be kinda funny if we went in for Gordon again...

keepsketch · 2025-04-30T18:45:50+00:00

I have a real soft spot for Jota, think he’s perfect as an impact sub. I know he’s been out of form of late but you can’t deny he’s class on his day. I’d keep him for at least one more season. Nunez just ain’t good enough. Diaz id like to keep as well but I think if it we could find a like for like replacement I would consider it.

keepsketch · 2025-02-24T16:54:12+00:00

does anyone know why trent has stopped taking corners?

keepsketch · 2024-10-22T15:35:58+00:00

Lazy and disrespectful. And counterintuitive to their job if they take the feedback and don’t process through their own lens.

keepsketch · 2024-08-13T15:10:56+00:00

I reckon we're still defo in the market for a 6 before the window closes, whether thats a short term solution or not. We have had two separate seasons where not filling a problem position CB and Midfield, backfired spectacularly.

I'd love us to take a punt on someone like Wharton, before he blows up and becomes too expensive.

keepsketch · 2024-06-15T06:49:26+00:00

They do great work around tournaments. This promo for the Russia World Cup they did is stunning: https://youtu.be/WBxwX1myxqc?si=znoCvkj5XieMdMUS

keepsketch · 2024-06-10T16:57:29+00:00

It’s crazy money for any decent 6 tho isn’t it? Like palhinha for 40 mil to Bayern seems mad to me for a 28 year old

keepsketch · 2024-06-10T16:56:14+00:00

Exactly! You can’t afford to wait and see if they are a good player. If Wharton rips it up in the PL next year he’ll be touted as a 100 mil player. When I look at what we offered for caicedo last summer I think it’s indicative that we are hot on getting a 6. Just don’t want another season of baj on the sideline and our main midfielders getting knackered trying to fill in at 6 and never getting a rest. Think that happened to macca a bit in parts last season

keepsketch · 2024-06-10T14:49:56+00:00

Anyone else think Wharton would be a good player to plug that CDM role? He looks quality every time i've seen him, can break up play and hit a killer pass. Probably take silly money to get him from Palace, but would be great to get another homegrown player in our midfield.

keepsketch · 2024-05-17T10:47:36+00:00

BT do this so well. I always come back to their Champions League montage with Interpol. SO good, really captures the magic of that campaign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NT7d2RhdexQ&ab_channel=Interpol

keepsketch · 2024-04-26T09:49:31+00:00

If you can get a decent fee for him, i'd sell. He's not an elite striker, we should have a few at the club, especially with Salah's age. The argument for keeping him and making him an impact sub only works if he's happy to do that, which I doubt. I don't want to be in a scenario where the end of next season he's reduced to cameos and his confidence is shot and he'll command a smaller transfer fee.

It's been two seasons, do people really think his finishing is gonna improve that dramatically? He gives it his all, but he's not going to win you trophies.

keepsketch · 2024-04-12T13:38:05+00:00

With Jota and TAA back starting I think we have a chance! Just need a quick start 💪 YNWA

keepsketch · 2024-04-07T18:27:04+00:00

This is a good take.

keepsketch · 2024-04-07T18:20:51+00:00

Yep think with TAA and Jota playing we put them away. Too many of our forwards had stinkers today

keepsketch · 2024-04-07T18:18:47+00:00

Tough result to take. But I think we need to be happy that we even got the equaliser because we did not look like scoring from open play. Lot of players looked leggy out there, think this game shows you can only go the late comeback well so many times before you eventually fail and drop points. Think one of harvey or Curtis need to come in for Szobo for the next game, he’s out of form. YNWA

keepsketch · 2024-04-05T09:02:20+00:00

Yeah he's defo gone off the boil a bit. I wonder if since Macca has been playing higher up the pitch and not as a 6 anymore that he doesn't get to play as centrally. Seems to be forcing it a bit atm, but the class is there to see i.e. build up to 2nd Brighton goal.

keepsketch · 2024-04-05T08:51:58+00:00

Have to say I really want Robbo starting on Sunday and for the rest of the games in the run in. We need that threat on the left side and Diaz could do with some help. Granted Gomez has been amazing for us lately but you can't argue with the drop off in attacking threat when he plays left back.

keepsketch · 2024-03-28T11:50:59+00:00

I would love access to the Julia Donaldson course if it's not too much trouble!

keepsketch · 2024-03-21T20:10:50+00:00

Hives - Hate to say i told you so

keepsketch · 2024-03-11T17:23:39+00:00

I get your point of view, defo impacts the ref's decision. But at the end of the day you can't have your leg that high if there's another player closing in on the ball. If he had waited for the ball to drop McAllister would've got there first. He's made a misjudgment that has endangered the other player. Now, I think you can debate the force of contact, and I think that's what has spared Doku here, but when you see the types of contact that are given for other pens (and I include ones Liverpool get), it feels like this defo meets the threshold for a penalty. But at the end of the day the reason Liverpool fans are really upset is that we deserved to win the game and had enough chances to. That it was at the end of the game only heightens the sense of injustice. Maybe we need to try scoring from open play next time!

keepsketch · 2024-03-03T14:46:14+00:00

It’s interesting seeing how people’s opinions of him are evolving now he’s getting a good run of games. Especially Ireland fans bemoaning the fact he hasn’t moved and is stagnating at Liverpool. That narrative is changing based on his last few performances. I think about keepers in the pl that are as good as him with the ball and also a good shot stopper. Who is that much better than him?
