Yeah agreed. If he travels to Lincoln he might get some minutes there, then come off the bench against Arsenal and the same (or start) against Villa.
In 4 years? Hard to believe it, but would be glad if I am wrong.
Wouldn't say that he was a flop (or anywhere nearby), but he came as one of the best midfielders in the world, and was just alright.
I don't see how United fans are trying to spin this as bad, Milner is 35 and Wijnaldum is leaving, Klopp worded his press conference very well.
He would've left in 2021 for free, if they kept him this year.
I'm not spinning anything mate. Just stating they have more midfielders than City.
You don't win what he has won without preforming. He isn't a player who you would pick up on easily, More a Carrick, Modric type, who always seems like he has a life time on the ball and controls a game.
Playing his best football under Klopp? Fair enough
Or Klopp will simply shift his tactics and rely more heavily on the centre for his attacking moves rather than relying heavily on his full-backs. Instead of both full-backs up the pitch, you push one up and keep the other behind.
He can, but it is always harder going through the middle. And they would miss the most important part of their success. That is high defending with fullbacks on both sides that turns into dangerous attacking system once they win ball. I actually think they have made the team more unbalanced with this fantastic player. How wierd it might sound.
Id agree but it is telling we rushed the paperwork through to have him registered in time. I doubt he gets on the field but he could be on the bench. Might even get 20 mins.
Can’t imagine Klopp changing tactics which have been very successful for the sake of one player.
If you think you are not far behind Chelsea or United, then you are not too far behind Liverpool either.
Bayern seems to do a good job of attacking full-backs with high line defending, and with Thiago in the team. We might see Liverpool becoming similar to Bayern.
It might be necessary to freshen up the squad. Some managers do so after winning seasons. And most teams might become even more defensive against the title-holders.
Probably because he is seldom fit. That will be Liverpool's main concern going into this season.
Do you really thing spurs signing bale and a left back are a concern to Utd? I’m not saying they aren’t good signings, but I don’t see how it will affect us.
I think you're underestimating a team with Bale and Kane up front. That could be a very fruitful partnership.
Even the most blinkered Spurs fans that I know
I’m not underestimating anybody. I think both payers are excellent, and I would take both at Utd (if circumstances were right, and ignoring transfer fees and wages...).
They did so also last year, moving their entire back line up a little on the pitch , providing a bit more cover for their defence, and whatever else they tweaked. Given how their campaign completely spluttered out in the second half of last season, I would totally assume further tweaks this year.
Definitely this.
