With Henderson at the heart of the midfield who isn't exactly technically excellent player.

Because the midfield is the least important part (in terms of technuque) of their system and serves to give energy and running power. Fill an entire team with that and you get West Ham.
He’s a tier below the elite technicians of course but he’s (or was, he’s declined quite a bit now) still pretty underrated in that aspect. He’s consistently been in the top tier for most passing stats like pass completion, forward passes, progressive passes etc. for years.
When the entire footballing world says midfield is the most important part of the game, you are saying it's least important.
Technique is equally important for midfield as they see most of the ball, they are the ones who sets the base for both attack and defense.
Let's see, City signed Haaland, Liverpool signed Nune, looks like they think they need more than technical players.
yes it was nice seeing the kids play well against your first team in that second halfI had absolutely no reason to watch a non-game. I was enjoying the London sun. I still haven't seen any highlights obviously.
Did you enjoy the boom yesterday. I mean the game?
Good run out for the lads under the new manager.
Ralf did something similar beginning of last summer. Too much, too soon. Understandable when you're trying to fix a galactic size problem. But leads to fatigue far too early.
Ralf wasn’t with United last summer?
Exactly. I wake up in cold sweats at the very thought.
He looked bad the other day but I fear he'll become formidable under Klopp.
I stand corrected. I can't believe I forgot my most favourite Utd manager ever.

I didn't watch it either tbf. The first half I was asleep for and the second half was on whilst I was getting ready for work.On a rival forum for years and doesn’t watch Liverpool games I’m sure you’re classified as a proper “fan”
I don't make much effort to watch friendlies in pre season. Normally just check the result and some stats afterwards.
That's not wholly true, for me anyway. I remember the boom-bust days when I was on here rubbing in every Voronin and Sean Dundee preseason goals.
Pretty sure Le-Tallec and Pongolle used to do it all in pre-season then disintegrate once the season started.That's not wholly true, for me anyway. I remember the boom-bust days when I was on here rubbing in every Voronin and Sean Dundee preseason goals.
Wait until we're crap again once Klopp goes. We'll be back to hyping up Sean Aberdeen and Andrei Seratonin all summer.
Poor guy, not only does he have Haaland for a direct comparison he also has the massive price tag and a new league to cope with...no pressure
Might be a rough ride this season.

Move aside Lukaku, football has found its new meme.
He’ll be fine. Liverpool’s forwards miss big chances regularly. The important thing is he keeps getting on the end of them.
...and missing them
He's gonna be a fun signing......for the rivals innit!
Important for us yes.
Yeah where's the guy saying he was a generational talent. The fact our scouts even entertained this fecking donkey tells you that we haven't learnt.
Klopp was very defensive and sensitive about him yesterday. Maybe he's not liking what he's seeing in training.
His touch makes Lukaku's look like prime fat Ronaldo
Darwin donkey!!!
The evolution didnt go as planned.
@TheMagicFoolBus looks like you’re right mate

Darwin Bebe.
McTominay is a better striker than him.
From that video alone you see that he can shoot, head, pass and tackle so what's wrong? Granted, he fecked them all up spectacularly but...
Everybody can see the palace defender gets a slight deflection just as he swings right?
I love to laugh at Scousers just as much as anybody, but I feel like people are trying a bit too hard with this.

This thread is going to age really bad.
He just needs to get use to taking his medicine.
On the contrary, it's gonna be marvellous. A chronicle of a donkey.
You just know when the season kicks he will hit the floor running and bag 25+ goals
He scored over half of his career total goals last season. 100m is a stupid gamble.
Also see he’s played 130 odd games. At 23 doesn’t that seem a bit undercooked? Did he turn pro late ala Forlan or something?

At least if he is a donkey like Lukaku we can call him one without fear of being called racist. I still think he will end up a decent player though once he's settled in.
This.
