Hi Eds
We all MF is going to be the priority for the summer but what are your thoughts at RB? TAA has had a season to forget, Gomez/ milner aren't the answer and according to reports Ramsey will be sent on loan next season. IMO we need another RB to give Trent some competition as at the moment he knows he's first choice. Do u know of any decent RBs available this summer?, Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Obviously there are RBs available but Liverpool have not been looking for one.}

My guess is Klopp will stick with TAA at RB with Gomez, Milner, Ramsey as backups. However, I think we severly need a athletic sprint monster on the RCM position, a prime Hendo, Laimer, Caciedo type player to help trent. I like Elliot but he's more of a Bruno Fernandez type player- who would be useful and nice on the eye if given the freedom to roam about. However, having him, Mo, and TAA covering the right side is an absolute diaster, especially when Matip is on that side who doesn't have the legs to make up the ground. I find (sometimes) Konates attritubes can help cover this problem up only to a certain extend. Throw in a defensive midflielder who looks banjaxed in Fabinho and its no wonder so many attacks and goals come down our right side. For Trent to be the baller he is, we need to be on the front foot, pressing high again and with an athlecitc young Hendo type player with legs in him to cover ground. And I solid, aware DMF. As poor as Trent has been this season. 3 midfielders are pririority over a RB imo.

Hopefully Ramsey will be fit for pre-season and we can take a look at him. I don't think we need another RB at this time.

We may however find ourselves needing cover for Robbo if Tsimikas is moved on.

Tsimikas was awful last night constantly losing possession, out of position, then took a corner that never even got above the height of the grass.

Why can't Bradley come back and play as a right footed left back next season, he would be far better than a liability, and we would not have to pay for Robbos understudy also, and might even get a fee for Tsimikas though it won't be much!

Joey Jones was right footed these also, Peter Wall, Gerry Byrne, Emlyn Hughes first played as a left back, Denis Irwin who played for you know who, was also a very good right footed left back.

Caicedo at 70m doesn't look like an LFC purchase, i reckon they will look for better value elsewhere, although he does look like an ideal, prem ready player.

I wonder to what extent the clear out will happen, and how long it will take to settle a bunch of new players in. It may be another write off season next season.

The daily mirror run this article today that LFC have switched their attention to Caicedo of Brighton, after Wolves removed a clause from Matheus Nunes' contract that would have allowed the 24 year old to join the reds for £44 million this summer.

The daily mail ran this article today also, LFC, man utd and spurs have expressed an interest in activating the £40 million release clause of Napolis South Korean defender Kin Min-jae who is 26.

007, I completely agree. Once I saw that corner I told my mate he should be subbed and sold immediately lol. It was probably the worst corner ever. It bewilders me when professional footballers can’t do the basics. There have been times when I have liked Tsimikas but it just looks like everyone in the whole squad is low on confidence and underperforming.

I think Allison is the only player that can hold his head high. Can you imagine where we would be without Allison playing, keeper, centre back and right back and sometimes midfield . He’s top class. Must be frustrating for him, and being Brazilian, I wouldn’t be surprised if he were to want to move to Spain eventually if we are going to spend a few seasons in Europa.

To be fair to Tsimikas he grew into the game last night. But everyone will remember the first corner he got wrong and not the several good ones that followed.

Robbo then came on and stunk the place out with every action.

Funny what we see.

From the Opta match stats LFC had 5 corners in the whole match. Tsimikas took three of these, the other two corners were awarded after he "grew into the game" so much he had to be substituted?

This is the LFC Channels Neil Mellor assessment of Tsimikas performance last night and also our rival website T. I. Anf: Tsimikas was frankly dreadful for much of the game, losing the ball, and being caught out defensively on numerous occasions.

Funny what we "DONT" see!

I think it’s fair to say, they all played badly. We’ll just leave it at that. Wouldn’t have mattered if it had of been a good corner anyway cos our forwards were off on holiday.

TAA as the starting right back, Bradley as back-up and Ramsey on loan to rebuild confidence / solid game time with Gomez or Van Den Berg (if the are still on the books next season) as the ‘general right side all purpose cover.

Kostas is in and out of the team we need continuity. Robbo as been getting away with running up and down the field all yr. He has been terrible passing, shooting and his defending in stopping the cross coming in as been pish poor. I think the Mane working back, Gini hardly giving the ball away and the pr Pickford, VVD. Made people think Robbo was world class. This season he looks like a defender could be in a team that's gets relegated. Oh that's what he was.
