Mateusz Musialowski, ed1 how highly is this lad rated? Looks like a real talent. Also another one called ballyosgi? definitely wrong spelling but sounds like that. Looks quality also. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - Musialowski is really well thought of, not just within the club, but in the game in general. We seem to have picked up a gem, so long as he keeps his head down and keeps working hard.

I think you mean Balagizi, I can't think who else you could mean and he is seen as one of the best to actually graduate through the academy system. Hopefully he will be another who comes all the way through, like Jones and TAA, to play in the first team. It is nice to see academy graduates make it.}

I was seeing how Musialowski was being touted as the next Lewandowski before online, high praise.
Speaking of Lewandowski ed001, if he said he quite fancied spending his last couple of years at Liverpool under Klopp would you think it would be a good fit? All things considered (age, wages etc)
Such an incredible player still.

{Ed001's Note - I can't see him as a Lewandowski type, he doesn't seem to be that type of player. Seems more like 'let's compare him to the most famous Polish footballer we can think of' rather than it being a relevant comparison.

If he was coming to try and win things, rather than coming to retire, then too right I would take him all day long! He is top class, the best out and out striker in the world.}

Thanks for the speedy reply. They both look class in the little action I've seen. Great feet and touch. Really excited about them both. Have a great evening Ed's. Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome J6, take care mate.}

Yeah I figured it was probably because they both have “ski” at the end of thier names lol
Looking forward to waching him progress anyway, always amazing to watch players from the academy make it with us.

{Ed001's Note - ah you might have it there!}

24 Mar 2021 21:29:54
You too Ed's.

{Ed001's Note - I will certainly try mate.}

25 Mar 2021 09:12:23
Thanks for the info, Ed01. As for whether Lewa would come to LFC, I would take him even if he came here to retire, lol. He is frankly the best and most complete CF I have seen since the likes of Marco Van Basten and "Mister" George Weah.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome and I agree, he is a special player.}

He looked so slow and ponderous that year we beat Bayern in the CL, though all their team did.
Talk about a turn around. Bayern refashioned their side after that mauling, pace everywhere now.
Not sure about Lewandowski, he was top class but I think the speed and physicality of the PL may not suit him?
Sound familiar? *cough* *cough* 😄.

{Ed077's Note - 1 game. 1 poor game

25 Mar 2021 12:07:52
The front four of Musialowski, Stewart, Gordon and the German lad Fraundorf all look top notch for the u18's!

25 Mar 2021 11:42:39
Two Ed lol, both legs he was rubbish.
Left an indelible impression on me.

{Ed077's Note - Ok my bad. Let me have another go :-)

Mane has been poor this season. Would you say he is a bad player? Lewandowski is the best player in the world and has been for the past 2-3 years IMO. Bayern just had a coach unsuited to the team when you played them.}

Spot on, Ed. The Juicer, then Bayern manager Niko Kovacs was terrified of our attack and he even said it before the tie. He played a pathetic game tactically as the team did not know whether to attack or defend for fear we would hit them on the break. Notice how isolated Lewandowski was against Matip and VVD in the return leg or even in the first leg?

Lewa got NO help from the manager and the tactics he employed stifled Bayern instead of helping them. Sure he was scared of the counter BUT to not have a real go at us is what was disappointing and Lewandowski even said so after the game.

For you to say that cos he was poor against us 2 years ago (none of which was his fault, btw) means he lacks the physicality to play in the PL is some strange conclusion to draw under such circumstances and after just two games against ONE PL team.
