Guess they are still figuring out what to do with TAA ??

Liverpool are in a world of trouble this coming season. Be surprised if we make top 6. Years of under investment have really taken it's toll on this squad now.

there isn't much point in scoring 3 goals when the opposition score 4

But the other teams have actually bought players to replace the ones they've lost. We sold JH and fab for £53m and we don't' have £50m to buy Lavia - the CDM we desperately need. We've sold or released 8 players this off season and we've bought 2 and are now playing poverty again. 1 or 2 injuries and top half will be in doubt. Completely threadbare/old/worn out squad.

I know you moan about the glazers but ETH has a higher net spend than Klopp and he's been at utd for 1 year. Klopp has been here 7.

Ten Hag has only spent £335m in the year since he arrived. Those Glazers never make the funds available

Nickolas Jackson has looked excellent for Chelsea in pre season. Hope Poch sticks with him. Also really hope we keep Conor Gallagher too.

friendlies don't mean much tbh, i mean these are perfect for experimenting what you can improve upon

winning is nice, but even if you lose in friendlies, still a good learning experience for the new season


Fortuna Sittard, we lost quite some friendlies, but with small margins, and against the free agents team VVCS we turned a 0-3 at half time around to a 4-3 win so that fighter spirit is there, something what we lacked last year, being motivated to keep going even if ur behind

i'm happy the big ego Yilmaz is gone, as for unmotivated moron George Cox too, or flop Erdogan


Koopmans ain't bad but he ain't first choice material like Pandur, good enough for the cup i guess, is better than Van Osch so


the luxury we have in midfield like Bistrovic, Duarte, Ferati, Halilovic, Ozyakub, Rosier as well as own youth Schenkhuizen

now up centre forward choice between Gladon and Sierhuis, as for the wingers Cordoba, Embalo, Noslin, Robberechts, Belkheir, also Vita whom can also play as Wingback


a new left back in Dijks, now we just need one more rightback, backup for our captain Pinto

central defense of ours are choices between Rodrigo Guth, Siovas, Nieling (own youth), Sayadi (own youth), Radic

a small budget club like Fortuna, with limited youth academy facilities having 3 own youth products in the first team, is amazing

He’s a perfect fit for Ten Hag’s system

He’s a top player and it’s not long ago he was a certainty for England - he was Chelsea’s Player of the Year two consecutive seasons - when Chelsea were GOOD !


Plus he’s still young !!
