Have any of you watched Gomez play lately? He’s a liability and we should get what we can for him and wave him off. Why we rejected a £20m plus offer from Gerrard when he was at Villa is beyond me. Whether it is injuries, confidence or just lack of awareness of what is required at this level, he’s not getting back to the form he showed earlier in his career.

Where's square tomato at these days? I'd love to hear ifST had any insight into the player's mentality with fan feedback like this.
Can't imagine there are many players who would get back to their best with this kind of support

Anyways, we've made ourselves a club that doesn't just cast players aside like a piece of meat. It has its pitfalls obviously, but overall, I think we should be proud of that.


2.) 11 Jul 2023 05:10:07
I last watched Gomez play against Chelsea away, he played right back and was our best player.


3.) 11 Jul 2023 06:44:30
Like man united with Phil Jones. not saying gomez is as bad as him though faith.


4.) 11 Jul 2023 08:07:55
In Gomez last game against relegated Southampton he let a bang average player who doesn't score run from the half way line to the edge of the area backing off instead of closing him down or showing him wide, allowing said bang average Championship player to score and look like Messi.

Redmersey has it right in my opinion. Gomez isn't going to get back to his best on a cushy £85k a week where he only has to make 10-20 appearances a season in Europa League and Domestic Cup games. Nothing is expected of him as a 4th choice centre back which I believe allows him to back out of tackles instead of risking his knee. Klopp also got really angry at him in the 5-2 Madrid game for doing the same thing with Vinicius, instead of getting closer to him and then he did the same in the 2nd half when Modric and Benzema were coming forward on their zimmer frames. Against Napoli Gomez had to be hooked at HT with us 4-0 down, and 3 of the goals being at least partially his fault.

Virgil was doing exactly the same too by the way. Backed off Sancho and let him pass it in, backed off Modric and Benzema in the same instance, backed off Outtara against Bournemouth and pointed at Robbo to defend for him. If they don't trust their knees in a head on tackle players will keep waltzing past them or getting close enough to goal to shoot without even going around them.

Thunderbird does make a fair point though. Gomez has looked much better as a right back in the last couple of years. If he were staying as back up to Trent then that's not the end of the world, but he has more bad games at CB than good. He has it in him, because he was excellent against Haaland in one game last season, but then proceeded to follow that with awful games including against Forest where he randomly dragged a player down on half way and then lost his man from the resulting free kick for them to score. You don't win titles with players like that in the heart of the defence. He is not the same player he was in 2019. Neither is Virgil or Matip for that matter and we either need to build around Konate and sign him a new partner (Schuurs maybe? ) or simply sign a whole new partnership if Konate's muscle injuries won't go away.

I'm a Liverpool fan before I'm a Gomez fan. When you're at the top of the sport you have to take the Criticism that comes with the £4.4m a year salary. The bleeding hearts routine wears very thin on passionate fans who want to see players putting their bodies on the line in the same way they would if they had one iota of the talent these guys were blessed with.


5.) 11 Jul 2023 08:34:36
I don't think anyone has watched Gomez play recently - the season is over.
Is Gomez the new whipping boy now Ox and Keita have gone?
YNWA and all that.


6.) 11 Jul 2023 10:15:23
Eds I think you might need to make a separate Joe Gomez page at this rate.


7.) 11 Jul 2023 10:15:55
MKS, chill with the OTT over Gomez in a dead rubber game where he (along side Matip and Kellerher) had not played a single game for weeks. Kellerher had not played a competitive game for 4/ 5 months, especially. How people can rate his performance based on a dead rubber game is baffling to me BUT to each his own idea of analysis.

Listen, Im not saying Gomez will be back to his best cos his best was easily 3 years ago. Same as VVD. Nor am I saying both cannot get back to near their best moving forward either. At the end of the day, nobody really knows diddly squat

So let's just (as Faithinworks said), support the all boys and hope they can still perform at a good level cos their natural talent is not in question at all, IMO. The constant player bashing (esp. those who have been great for us bot struggling now) needs to stop, frankly. It's not helping.


8.) 11 Jul 2023 10:42:36
He is bad though unless playing RB I can’t remember seeing too many centre backs as clueless as him and in that position he is horrible. At RB he seems to look a different player. Like the guy don’t get me wrong but he was always a bench player and I respect his contribution over the years even though it has been mostly poor performances.


9.) 11 Jul 2023 11:13:22
Oli, it's not player bashing it's just a discussion on a football forum. If it was a one word hyperbole analysis along the lines of "Gomez is the worst player ever" then you'd be correct, but it's not. People are discussing why they think we need to upgrade, and who they'd start with (Gomez, Matip, Virgil, Fabinho, Hendo, Thiago etc have all been mooted) . Everyone wants to talk about the need to sign better players, but hand in hand with that is a discussion about which players need replacing.

Dead rubber game or not, you have to have some professional pride. You're suggesting Gomez didn't need to play well because the game had no significance? What about the fans who travelled to the South Coast and had to watch Kelleher, Matip and Gomez play that badly? That's what is truly embarrassing. Abuse, i'll back you on. Nothing worse than an overly extreme one liner. But constructive debate? That is fair game as far as I'm concerned.

When they step on the pitch, if i'm in the stadium I'll give them my full support. But what we as fans talk about on forums is frankly none of the players business. We pay our money for the right to have that opinion. £1200 a year it costs me to have all the channels and buy the newest shirt. So if i want to have my say, I've bought that virtue by lining the players pockets. YNWA is important when it comes to personal and health issues, but there is ultimately no room for sentiment in elite level sport. We can't just keep hold of players not good enough and roll out the clubs mantra as reasoning. Nobody here is stalking or abusing Gomez, Matip, Virgil etc in person or on their social media accounts. We're just talking about whether they're the right players to go forward with. And that's okay.


10.) 11 Jul 2023 12:29:42
Don’t get why some fans think you’re a troll if you question a players performances or have a different opinion to theirs?


11.) 11 Jul 2023 12:54:37
I see nothing in constructive debate in that post however, a lot of it is aimed at questioning commitment - how is that constructive? There’s nothing being stated about what could be done to be improved?!

Gomez has not had a great few seasons, stemming from injuries and loss of form, which was compounded by our general form being middle of the road. Whether he stays or not, hopefully he plays himself back into where he knows he needs to be, there’s no need to question that he’s not wanting to throw himself into tackles as that is what he has done and it has caught him out?!

There’s also no need to bring salary into it either, what kind of metric is that useful in supposed constructive debate? I see a lot of fair reaches but this is becoming a bit tedious.

Hopefully the conversion will actually move into a constructive place rather than tedious remarks and throw away comments/ low brow analysis.


12.) 11 Jul 2023 13:02:25
If you have a midfielder tracking back and within a metre or so, then you can stop backing off since the midfielder will catch the attacker if you don't.

Our lack of pace and energy in midfield instilled this ever backing off in our defense for large parts of last season. Can see that turn around next season, with Szob&Mac, allowing Konate, VVD or whomever plays to stand up to opposition a bit better.


13.) 11 Jul 2023 13:07:08
MKS, nobody is saying you cannot question a player's performances nor attitude on a football forum or whatever so stop saying what literally did not happen. Also, You don't need to label a player as the "worst player ever" for someone to have the opinion that you are going a bit harsh, bashing or OTT on them. You call it constructive debate. I disagree and call it OTT behaviour. Nobody is silencing anybody here.

Therefore it is my opinion that I think you are overreacting over a player who has had issues with injuries that have clearly affected him mentally hence, me using the word "player bashing". Whether he can regain his form or not is one thing but the fact that you are writing literal essays about it, talking about stuff that have nothing to do with the actual topic is proof of your overreaction, IMO.

Unlike you, I do not base any value nor stock on a dead rubber game where players who haven't played in weeks or months hence, rustiness and lack of cohesion which can definitely affect their collective/ individual performances. You do, which is fair. I don't. Moral of the story? Differences in opinion on a footie forum. It is what it is.

You are free to go all out and write essays about a player's performances till the cows come home while I am also free to critique your analysis respectfully as being OTT or whatever I choose which we both have done, respectfully. Great convo, as usual. Peace and Love.


14.) 11 Jul 2023 13:03:45
Pegleg, twas ever thus, keep posting!

Adam, your posts are getting longer!


15.) 11 Jul 2023 13:17:57
Pegleg speaking for myself, I did not call anyone on this thread (MKS or whoever else) a troll so not sure what you're on about. I propose you research certain words before you use them when levelling unfounded and ridiculous accusations against others. Just a thought.


16.) 11 Jul 2023 14:14:19
Exactly right Oli. I'll post what i want. You can counter what I post if you want. I'll counter again. That's how debate is, no? Nobodies upset here from what I can tell. I don't think i've been OTT personally or bashed anyone for the record. No more than other posters and Eds 'bash' players they don't rate. I've seen far worse things written about Karius, Matip, Jones, Keita etc. I've simply given situational examples why I don't think Gomez is good enough to play CB for Liverpool anymore. I wish the bloke all the best in his career and if i ever met him I'd thank him for some great memories. It is nothing personal, I simply think we need better to challenge City.

JACK, i know I'm sorry mate! This debate has escalated and I'm bored of it now. Same post every day about Gomez or Matip. I just can't help myself from replying ?.


17.) 11 Jul 2023 14:23:49
Alry, the constructive part is highlighting his weaknesses rather than just saying "Gomez is bad". Do you want me to spell it out for you what he needs to do to improve? It's fairly obvious. If i say he backs away from tackles then quite clearly the corrective actions is to engage attackers earlier. Can you not work that out yourself? ?

Salary and status is absolutely relevant. If you are at the top of any entertainment industry you are there to be judged on the quality of entertainment you provide and you're remunerated handsomely for putting yourself in that spotlight. Any paying football fan has a right to challenge the performances of a player they made rich, in my opinion.


18.) 11 Jul 2023 15:32:02
I think next Summer we will see one or two quality CBS brought in. Naturally wish we were getting Gvardiol rather than City .


19.) 11 Jul 2023 15:51:46
MKS, have a nice one bro. Im over it.


20.) 11 Jul 2023 16:01:18
No such thing as a “dead rubber” of a game. Even when there is nothing to be gained Especially when the manager has said every position will be looked at. What better time to show him your up for it than in the last game of season so it’s fresh in his head. (Jones seemed to take note) . He can be brilliant on the day as we know but he has been here about 8 years now and had 1 good season. We have been naive letting players leave for free we need to be ruthless now.


21.) 11 Jul 2023 16:49:03
It certainly isn’t player bashing at all. That is just a poor way to gain favour from other posters, just like the guy the other day used the phrase “the hate for Gomez”
I have seen nothing but constructive criticism over the last few days. That doesn’t mean that Gomez doesn’t get the support when he puts on the shirt. You’ll never walk alone and all that ?.


22.) 11 Jul 2023 17:25:57
Olired, did I mention your name? Sorry if I hit a nerve, wasn’t directed at you just some of the on here in general. And I’ve definitely seen the word troll being used ?.


23.) 11 Jul 2023 17:41:55
I remember a certain someone used to say weekly that Jota was stinking up the place on the pitch because he was getting selected ahead of Bobby.

People in glass houses and all that now bawling their eyes out that MK is being critical.

I’m guessing they believe they set the rules for other posters and they don’t apply to themselves.

Get to an actual game they want too.

{Ed025's Note - some cant afford it JK, and with most of your supporters coming from Norway its hard mate.. :)


24.) 11 Jul 2023 17:44:03
"That is just a poor way to gain favour from other posters".

Speak for yourself, man. I've read several on here make the same points about Gomez as myself, AlRy92, Faithinworks, Flashthered made on this thread about the OTT stuff Gomez is getting which is which is a fair POV to have.

So are we all now trying to "gain favors from other posters" then cos we disagree with those who think differently from us like MKS and others do? So you can read people's minds now? Embarrassing, as usual.

You literally scolded MKS on a thread for trying to speak for everyone on this forum a couple of weeks back when all he did give his saying how much he likes the way FSG run the club YET here you are doing the exact same thing, painting people you've never met with a broad brush. Like I said, Speak for yourself, man.


25.) 11 Jul 2023 19:01:01
Jesus Christ guys, it’s a bit bitchy and petty on here lately.

Nothing like a lull in footballing action to get people pecking at each other, having the very same debate on a daily basis.

Everyone just take a breath, remember that most opinions on here come from the same place - a passion for lfc.


26.) 11 Jul 2023 21:25:25
Olired, why denigrate MK for player bashing and being OTT in his comments relating to Gomez.
I clearly recall you explaining at length why Matip is crap, It was a real hatchet job, so I guess you were player bashing, which was not helpful.


27.) 11 Jul 2023 21:37:37
Just out of curiosity - are there any of our CBs that we should keep?

Matip and Gomez are clearly useless, VVD is nowhere near the player he was and if too busy shouting his mouth off and Konate is injury prone.

The only option we have is Phillips, and we all agree he should be allowed to leave and kick on with his career.

Perhaps we play a 1 - 0 - 7 - 3 formation this season?

Nice that as a group that stood behind Keita, we’ve all shuffled across to stand behind Gomez now. It just fills you with pride.


28.) 11 Jul 2023 22:48:29
Last game of the season was still worth 3 points, and much better to play well .
not a big fan of Big Joe but he can play any position across the back four plus he is English .
so for me, I would keep him .


29.) 11 Jul 2023 23:15:41
HassleRed - next summer? And we have only bought two CMs this summer to replace the 3 outgoing CMs. Overlooking the fact that we should have bought at least one midfielder during the last two transfer windows.

Wow, when did we become fans with such low expectations.


30.) 12 Jul 2023 07:21:00
I prefer to be loyal to a young lad who has shown what he is capable of when at full fitness and given a run in the team. That he has had a couple injury hit years and battling with emergence of Konate and Matip going in and out of form, is not the time to be turning me back on one of our lads.


31.) 12 Jul 2023 07:43:27
Green flash, it’s what Oli does?. Only one poster used the phrase “player bashing”
Matip isn’t the only player either. Is calling a player Crap. constructive ?, I don’t think so and that is OTT in my opinion.


32.) 12 Jul 2023 07:52:03
That’s fair enough Faithinworks. I can’t think of one fan who wouldn’t want Gomez back to the form of 19/ 20, that would only be good for the team but it has now been a fair while now and he has had a fair run of games (start of last season) and it didn’t really work.
Constructive criticism is ok you know? Better than calling players crap in my opinion or regurgitating what an ED has already said .
Anyway here’s hoping for a fit and healthy team for the 23/ 24 season where everyone is on form ?.

Henderson needs to be a squad player next season, the way Milner was last season. Otherwise it will be another unproductive season. He’s been great but when your legs go and you’re playing in a pressing midfield, it’s a recipe fir disaster, as it was last season. Give the team captaincy to VVD, and Hendo can remain club captain.

redmersey

1.) 02 Jul 2023 00:44:59
I agree fully on Hendo. Not sure on Virgil as a captain but that is definitely who it would be if/ when Hendo is dropped.


2.) 02 Jul 2023 01:29:14
More nonsense. Sorry mate but I am quite sure Henderson will be contributing a lot more than chilling on the bench and will do just fine his legs certainly haven’t gone and he still press’s up their with the best of them.


3.) 02 Jul 2023 04:06:42
I think Hendo moving into the Milner role is about right. Milner still contributed loads last season albeit mostly from the bench. I don't see anything wrong with suggesting that Hendo could do the same this season as well, especially with the signing of Macallister and another MF.


4.) 02 Jul 2023 05:21:09
Ali should be made the captain!


5.) 02 Jul 2023 06:33:50
Str8talker - No one said Henderson will just be “chilling on the bench”; it was opined that he take over Milner’s role in the team. This means starting some cup and Europa League games, coming on to see vital games out, and helping the staff to manage the squad and maintain standards. He will still be an important part of the club, but he simply can’t be starting in the Premier League for us anymore. His value to the team was always his energy, pressing and leadership, the former two of which have seriously declined in the last 2 years. Henderson’s technical quality has never measured up to his athleticism, something that should be more obvious than ever to all.
The Milner role as Klopp’s foremost general is exactly where Henderson needs to be now.


6.) 02 Jul 2023 07:31:53
After watching the recent England Internationals, Hendo was significantly better (definitely more productive) than the 100m+ guy playing alongside him. Still plenty to offer.

{Ed025's Note - if you take them red goggles off RA your eyesight will improve significantly mate..


7.) 02 Jul 2023 08:00:19
Hendo will start a lot less games next season, IMO so I think the Milner role will b his role as many have said. As for him getting sold or run outta town by Klopp? Don’t hold your breathe.

{Ed025's Note - i think the traffic cop may have another year in him oli, hes been a good skipper imo but very limited as a player these days mate..


8.) 02 Jul 2023 08:48:36
Fully agree, Ed25. He’s not that guy anymore, mate and that’s not an insult on him. Time will defeat us all.

I think the same goes for Fab as well and I think he has one more ride left in him too BUT for him, we need to get legs around him in midfield to help him should we not be able to bring in a DM.


9.) 02 Jul 2023 09:05:57
Hendo can only run in straight lines. His legs have been gone since the derby in Feb 21. To be able to press you need to be agile. Hendo can’t press or tackle. Don’t confuse pressing with running and looking shouty and purposeful.


10.) 02 Jul 2023 09:34:33
Is it still a case that the players vote on the captains and they do it for every season?


11.) 02 Jul 2023 10:38:13
Maybe it's time for Trent to be captain? Would fire him up even more I reckon.


 

 

21 Jun 2023 23:26:52
My son is a season ticket holder at Preston and said Sepp VDB was a class above anyone else in the team when he was there, mostly playing right wing back or right centre back in a 3. That’s not saying he’s Liverpool standard yet but he has potential and is an absolute unit.

redmersey

1.) 22 Jun 2023 08:38:27
Yead, Redmersey. At the time, there were rave reviews coming out from Preston at the time and they were so delighted with how SVB performed that they wanted to take him on loan again the following season.

Even with Schalke last term, he was very good for them by some accounts and they actually wanted to keep/ sign him even tho, they got relegated. Now, Dortmund are interested in him as well, I red so it depends on what we want to do. For me, I think we should get what we can get for SVB and let him go fullfil his potential somewhere else in a good league like the Bundesliga, for ex. Just my opinion.


 

 

06 Jun 2023 14:17:07
Some people on here talk as if Kelleher is on a par with Alisson and should get almost shared game time. Let’s be honest, Kelleher is a good keeper but nowhere near Alisson’s level. He should get League Cup games and no more unless Ali is injured. You only have to look at the 4 goals conceded against Southampton. If Alisson was in goal, we win that game.

redmersey

1.) 06 Jun 2023 15:42:15
Alisson is arguably the best goalkeeper in the world.

Unfortunately he sets a very high bar for any 2nd keeper at Liverpool.

Kelleher won a cup double with us as starting keeper the season before last. Hopefully with a much better season ahead of us, he will get more game time and a chance to win those same cups again + a run at the europa league too possibly.


2.) 06 Jun 2023 15:12:32
Championship quality at best. Home grown hype as usual.


3.) 06 Jun 2023 15:26:20
I would agree with the OP.

But it does go to show that you can't judge a keeper on just one game. Whether it be the League Cup final last season or the last game of the season against West Ham this season. He was like two different keepers.

Fact is, until he gets a good run of games (in any team) we just don't really know how good he can be. I guess this is what he wants, as Ed002 is implying.


4.) 06 Jun 2023 14:48:35
Don’t take much time to turn against the kid. Didn’t it ??. A few months ago the kid was Fabian barthez on steroids on this page. Today a league cup standard lol. The moment fans realized Klopp is taking the beating, let’s turn against the kid ???. This group is comedy gold.


5.) 06 Jun 2023 14:56:57
No one thinks that, but if we want him to stay he's going to want more games. Give him the group games in the Europa aswell as the Carabao. If we can't get through them 6 games without Allison we may give up.


6.) 06 Jun 2023 15:04:52
I haven’t heard anyone say he’s on a par with Allison. But it’s totally unfair for him to stay unless he plays the vast majority of cup games.


7.) 06 Jun 2023 15:12:32
Championship quality at best. Home grown hype as usual.

9.) 06 Jun 2023 16:31:00
Dreadful against saints on the final day of the season too. Sell him if someone sees 20m in him keep him if not and let him play europa caraboa and fa cup. He’s no more than an average prem keeper for me the only difference between him and others is he has youth on his side and can improve.


10.) 06 Jun 2023 16:32:08
Championship level. Really?


11.) 06 Jun 2023 17:18:19
In my opinion yes and I held that opinion before the Southampton game. Good shot stopper, decent distribution but not much organisation or communication and his positioning always seems wrong. I'm sure he will go on to have a very good career and is a good back up but Allison quality, not a chance.


12.) 06 Jun 2023 17:37:49
I think he’s brilliant, just had a shocker match.

But if your comparing him to Ali then well, the guy might as well be a Milk Man in goal compared to Ali.


13.) 06 Jun 2023 18:20:01
If Ali wasn’t here, Kelleher would be number 1 and doing a very good job of it in my opinion. His lack of game time is more to do with Ali being the best in the world than anything he’s done wrong. Incredibly unfortunate for him and would love him to stay but he’s a CL level GK in my opinion and should be allowed to leave. Ali is first name on the team sheet for me at the moment each and every week.


14.) 06 Jun 2023 19:07:30
I have no idea how we can call a GK average or Championship level or even how he can be judged as a good PL level GK when he has only played FIVE PL games since he broke into the first team nearly FIVE years ago. Absolute head-scratcher.

Even worse, I have no idea how one cans say Kelleher is a crap GK based on the one game he played with defenders in front of him who have not played together for weeks and he himself has not played a competitive game in FIVE months prior. Beggars belief, really.


15.) 06 Jun 2023 19:17:32
You're off your rocker if you think Kelleher is Championship level. He is clearly far better than that, otherwise he would not be Alisson's backup and ahead of Adrian this past season.

I understand his desire to start games elsewhere, but the business part dictates he has to respect his contract (just as much as the club) unless both parties agree to amicably part ways. What's the point of contracts if a club can be pressured into selling a player it wants to, and can contractually, keep?

Nowadays, I don't really pay any attention to what Klopp says to the media. It makes no sense to me to keep Kelleher and Adrian, and create a bottleneck for Pitaluga and Harvey Davies progression. I think Klopp is just playing coy to drive Kelleher's price up.

{Ed025's Note - the thing is ArAy that nobody knows really how good or bad Kelleher is mate, hes an unknown quantity so you are just guessing, i suppose the same was said about Karius who had promise but when the chips were down just could not cut the mustard..


16.) 06 Jun 2023 20:10:55
Sorry, Ed025, but I'm not just guessing. I saw every single match that Kelleher played in last season's League Cup and FA Cup campaigns (which we won, if you'll recall) . So it's not all wishful thinking, even though it was only 8 games. People are only talking about those penalty saves but he was crucial to our getting to the Finals and winning both competitions. Add the 2 games he played during the EPL season and this year's 4 games; that's a grand totality of 14 games! He's good in the air and I've seen him do foot work with the ball that DeGea and Lloris frequently screw up.

Karius was far different. After 2 months of joining, some of us had already started reading about attitude, lifestyle choices and social activity. He was cruising for a bruising and life has a way of bringing you back down to size after you get too big for your britches.

{Ed025's Note - but he is still young and relatively inexperienced ArAy, 14 first team games is not enough to judge him imo mate, listen i think he looks very good but until he has had a good run in the side its hard to say how things will turn out for him..

Ed025, I don't disagree with you there at all. You were just making it sound like nobody had seen him play at all. He is too young to be Liverpool's starter, even for me. But maybe good enough for a mid-table or bottom half of the table, team? Anyways, we'll see what happens with him this summer.

{Ed025's Note - i agree with all that mate..

literally no one is saying that or even sounding like they're saying that. If they were, then they'd be saying we should cash in on Ali and promote Kelleher.

The point is that we think we have a player there who could take over Ali in 2-3 years time or however long. And it'd be a shame to let him just leave.

It’s difficult for any keeper to step into a game particularly if he’s played so little. Kelleher is a good keeper but he’s not in the same galaxy as Alisson. Few keepers are.

To the poster that said playing an inverted full back against Manchester City would make us vulnerable because of their overload, how do you think City get the overload in the first place? By playing an inverted full back, that’s how.

So there.

Redmersey, it was me and I still disagree. So essentially, you want us to play a system that Pep and City have mastered to the fullest against Pep and City? Rather than play a system Klopp created which actually gives Pep and City all types of fits for the most part for years just so we can prove what point, exactly? My friend, your logic makes little sense.

Sorry, I hope we never play like City cos clearly we have seen that the way we normally play works against them and anyother team bar Real Madrid but that's a seperate issue. Proof? Klopp has beaten Pep more than any other manager both in Europe and since they both came to England.

You can watch him tonight on BBC3 in the Copa final. Might give us some idea what he’s like. And you’ll only have to miss half an hour of Strictly too.

Gomez shouldn’t be considered for any side, left or right. We should cash in before he gets any worse.

Maybe Henderson should have ripped into himself a few times. He was woeful. John Sergeant could have waltzed through our midfield at times.

Williams and Phillips were better because Fabinho went back into midfield. So they had some protection, which Fabinho did not have when he was playing at the back. I’m not advocating that Fabinho should play at the back now, by the way. And if he is to continue playing in midfield, he will need Trent playing h the inverted full back alongside him.

Gomez is never a solution to any problems. Get what we can for him in the summer. Unless you want to support a mid table team again, obviously.

A very good review, and it is great to see VVD looking something like his former self. He has undoubtedly been help by having a midfield in front of him who are not two yards off the pace (as per last season) who don’t allow the opposition to stroll through them at will .

The FA have a decision to make. Charge Everton and deduct points in the knowledge they ought to do the same and more to Manchester City. Or, more likely, drop charges against Everton, so they don’t put themselves in the uncomfortable position of having to do the same to City. However, it is likely they will charge Everton and let City off scot free. This would be also the most stupid option, as it would show them up as the corrupt bottlers they actually are.

Common sense refereeing went out of the window a long time ago. There are so many yellow cards because players are desperate to stop counterattacks. I agree they should be yellows as they are stopping potential goals, which are all we want to see. As for the Zaniolo incident, it was guaranteed that players would abuse the head injury rule. Some teams probably have coaching sessions on it. The only way to stop it is if the player goes down with a ‘head’ injury, he has to stay off the field for 5 minutes instead of the usual 30 seconds.

Robbo’s forays as a flying winger are few and far between these days. He can be a good defender but has a habit of failing to stop the cross coming in from his side. He needs to be careful about his place. Klopp must surely notice that a central defender who can play wide when going into a back three would do that job much better than Robbo.

They’re probably looking for a contractor to finish it for £5 an hour.
