I mean 2 of those are strikers at a push from PL teams. Sesko from Bundesliga?

Which 3 strikers?

Stick them in the museum next to Rick Parry’s fax-chewed collection.

Wharton alongside any of the current 3 could work for now. It’s discipline and passing quaility we’re missing more than athleticism.

Nope, I said CM. Wirtz is 10. He’s not the only one allowed to play a ball to Isak, especially when the opposition are focussed on stopping the ball getting to him. Also clearly highlighted Gravenberch as the CM in question. His final pass is awful, one of them led directly to the Elanga goal.

Not so sure about this. I thought he was holding him up, allowing for one of his 4 teammates to make a challenge, instead of behaving like fighter jets escorting an incommunicado passenger plane.

From DM or FB? Sorry you’ve lost me there Falconhoof. Or do they all have to go through Wirtz? Odd.

This, plus the need for a disciplined, accomplished passer in midfield(Macca year before last), and obviously a right winger. Neither fullback looking like a footballer is the biggest issue though. At one point today Kerkez should have left the ball for Wirtz to retrieve in a great position to then try and find Isak. Wirtz had to get out of the way to avoid an out of control Kirkez from mowing him down.

Gravenberch in particular could have played him in 4 or 5 times. Both fullbacks, neither of whom can look up and pick a pass like the much missed assist kings, also had a few chances to play him in. We need a CM who can thread a pass, and better fullbacks.

Are FSG this stupid? They haven’t been blinkered or indecisive with other teams they own. Have to believe they have a plan. Klopp with assistants such as Hendo and/or Milner would be good. Or just wishful/fanciful thinking. Edwards, Hughes and Slot don’t get more than a 3 out of 10 for the last 12 months surely.

Yes

Waiting until we can’t qualify, or even reacting after we don’t, is madness. At this point, Mike Bassett would have more chance of getting us in the top 5. Top 5, jesus.

Only to another press conference tomorrow sadly.

Really can’t see him inspiring us to even draw against Villa, Chelsea, Mancs, Ev. Even the likes of Brentford, Palace and Fulham are scaring me at this point. No change in the dug out and we’re relying on others being s*** to make top 5. Need someone, anyone, to hopefully new manager bounce us into next years CL.

I think Hugo will be fine when he has to fight for his place, and has someone coaching him properly. I don’t think it’s entirely his fault he thinks he’s made it, given the start he had and the adulation he received. A coach and mentor convincing him to spend more time on the training ground, than refining poses and expressions infront of a mirror, until he’s actually achieved something, is all he probably needs.
