Pre Match Pre Match - Palace - (Anfield South) - Sunday - 15:00

I would have probably given minutes to nyoni rather than Macca tbh. This wasn't match fitness, this was just outright fitness.
Macca looked good last week, but maybe Nyoni will be the better option next week. When Macca is not fit or rested (after South American internationals), he can really be incredibly shit.
 
It’s also time to fuck off Mo’s ego and hunger for records and put Szobo on them.
Szbo is not even a guaranteed starter, Macca is the only realistic option but even he isn’t always a 100% starter. But he missed and so did Harvey.
 
Szobo's as close as we've got to a guaranteed starter in midfield. They both are if fit. Giving it to Szobo might help reignite the goal instinct he seemed to have when he first arrived.
 
Should be noted that this was the first game that back 5 have started together with two new fullbacks. Add in a makeshift midfield and you look disjointed.
No surprise that it may take a bit of time for them to settle.
 
Totally Jones is tragic and is mostly responsible for the issues in this game by being taken off and us losing complete control of midfield. He really needs to learn to stay on the pitch and misplace some passes becsuse 53 passes attempted and completed successfully is just not right.

Jones is shite, don't give a fuck how many shite forgettable passes he can complete in 90mins.....even Will fucking Hughes showed him up.
 
It's crazy how we're in mid August, have spent £300m and the squad is still in need of major surgery. We're actually lighter for depth than we were going into last season.

GK and fullbacks are the only position where we're ok.

Midfield still short on 1 player and we only really have 1 midfield combo that works with all aspects of how an ideal midfield would function.

CB we're short on at least 1. Looks like we'll be going into the season with no CB's on the bench, how fucking laughable is that?

Forward areas we're short on 2. We literally have 0 reliable bodies outside our starting front 3.

Season kicks off in 5 days.

What a mess.

& this all comes back round to that cunt Hughes, who's wasted 6 weeks chasing Wirtz/Isak and doing fuck all else.

Doesn't need surgery. Just needs 2 additions.
 
There's a good argument that our 5 best players last season were Mo, Virgil, Gravy, Mac and Lucho.
Mo and Virgil were shite today. That doesn't happen very often.
Gravy, Mac and Lucho were absent (until late on in Mac's case, when he didn't look fit).
No knee-jerking from me, just one of those days. It feels more disappointing because 5 minutes in it looked like we were going to give Palace a humping.
 
Lame, ChatGpt5 really is shite but guess better than another joke about a human tragedy.
The fact you tried to link an ongoing Genocide with Salah shows what you are about, new low there…

Oh do fuck off.

Salah linked himself to it.
 
Hope so, after today it is more obvious we need someone more like Guehi in. Not sure if another striker is more of a priority than a DCM. But doubt we will get another 3 before Aug.

We'll get Isak and a CB and that'll be that and that'll be fine.

Rio and Wirtz can help cover the LW spot. Frimpong can help cover RW.

DM is a bit tricky cos ideally we'd have more credible cover for Grav than Endo but it's not that clear who that would be. There aren't that many players out there like him. Bajcetic would seem to suit that but fuck knows what's going on with him.
 
It’s also time to fuck off Mo’s ego and hunger for records and put Szobo on them.
Hang on, at the risk of going full Dreamy, wasn't Mo's penalty record 100% last season? He's missed a couple in meaningless friendlies and you want to sack him?

Add to that, nearest option also missing it and without Trent, there isn’t an obvious replacement in the 11.
 
This has probably been mentioned in this thread, but Gakpo is no upgrade on Diaz.
Gakpo might be a better scorer, but Diaz makes things happen.
To balance things off it's also worth mentioning Diaz did fuck all but run in all the finals he's played in which actually meant something.

0 goals, 0 assists.
