Gundogan to sign new contract?

Wasn’t in the second half yesterday. They were all off it and lacking fitness other than Phil when he came on.

Liverpool have had two more games than us preseason so it’s understandable they will be able to run for longer. They pile their preparation into getting out in front early in the season in the hope they stay there. Can anyone remind me how this played out last season?

Great in the holding role, poo in the number 8 role.

I wouldn't say poo but I generally agree.

No way should he be in the team in that role ahead of Kev, Bernardo, Dave or Phil.

But in the holding role, he's brilliant against the teams who put 10 men behind the ball, less good against the team who counter fast like Spurs.

Not sure how I feel about this but then again, he's far too good a player to be losing for free.

I would say completely the opposite. Thankfully with the signing of Rodri and with Diniho back fit, he will play further up the field.

If he gets match fit, this should be the first totally injury free season, where he can hopefully get forward as Pep wants, nick the ball off people & create stuff.
 
If he stays fit he could easily nail down a place in the first XI, not that we have one but you know what I mean. I liked the option of playing him alongside Rodri yesterday too, it gives us another attacking option as it allows both fullbacks to attack at the same time while keeping us safe from counter attacks.
 
Hope this is true. With a potential transfer ban on the way and David leaving next summer, it's imperative that we keep him.
