Never a truer word said :)It is ridicilous people expect a backup keeper to be as close as Ederson in term of quality, unless you paid him in large amount like PSG does then forget it.
Same as Zinchenko, the same guy that makes a meaningful contribution last season to bring our club to the final champions league for the first time. At his best, he is the best backup for the squad that we ever got. The moment he plays bad just like last match, people want to get rid of him forgetting how good he is when he play at his best last season. Really shows how some our fans have a literall span of memory of goldfish.
Player will have their moment of up and down, they are only human. You can't expect them to be just as consistently good like that Messi and CR37 in their prime years, that's unrealistic and no player will be close to be consistently good as them all the time in their prime. The only thing we can do is hope and pray that they will be consistently good enough in each and every match, not expect them to be like those two people that i've mentioned above.
I wonder if Yan Couto will finally take up a squad place as back up to Walker. Cancelo has nailed down the leftback position so can stay there. Couto is meant to be having a good season at Braga.
Haaland, a CM, a Decent back up LB and a pacey winger if we can find someone daft enough to buy Sterling all needed to refresh the squad.
No way will be flogged in summerSterling will probably leave on a free tbh
Dembele no thanks to hit and miss with a woefull injury record and attitude to boot.we need domeone like nkunku or anthony with genuine pace and goals.If we’re looking at pace. Would Dembele at Barca fit the mould? Free and worth the punt IMO. I haven’t seen him play recently but with Barca wanting him to commit I assume they see a player there or simply don’t want to lose the substantial investment already made? Gabby and Sterling have been fine servants but I think it’s time for them to go. Shame because they’re both class acts. My summer ideal signings would be Haaland, CDM (young lad from Monaco or Bennacer), Dembele, LB (Thomas from Leicester is a good player) in that order of priority. It will take longer to get all these over the line than one summer but imagine a 2017 summer overhaul? Would be fantastic
Good point. I like both but is Anthony too similar to Mahrez? And Nkunku I’m not entirely convinced he’s in a good moment but I’m just not sure. If we sign him I’d love to be proved wrong of course! I’d just want someone to basically run beyond players. Watching the Scouse game last week they played so high it was crying out for someone to merely play the right pass at the right time for one of our players to run on to. It also gives them something more to think about. Maybe that’s just the Sunday league hoof into channels side of me!Dembele no thanks to hit and miss with a woefull injury record and attitude to boot.we need domeone like nkunku or anthony with genuine pace and goals.
We really do, desperately. Someone who can be as creative in the final 3rd as Cancelo or help us if Cancelo's not on it or not playing. Defensive full backs don't help us in games where teams have parked the bus.We don’t need a LB. Ake is really good in that position.
