Kieran Morrison breaks World record for post bar challenge. The previous record was claimed by Bayern Munich prospect Adin Licina, Hopefully we keep hold of this one ? And then enter Trey Nyoni
The Stick to Football with Rafa Benitez is excellent. The only annoying bit is Carra constantly interrupting him. I can understand Jamie being excited to have him on the show, but it was quite annoying.
@David_Ornstein on No.6 position: "Unless they find somebody that they're completely happy with, they'll wait and bide their time and be patient and be brave about that, because it's going against what a lot of the public and fanbases want, which is transfers, transfers, transfers." The FSG PR machine going into overdrive.
Got to appreciate waiting for the right player but can't help but feel having 2 predominantly creative midfielders sitting and no specialist no 6 apart from Endo that Liverpool will be exposed in midfield this season.
I don't believe Slot views Endo as an option ,which is even more worrying, but it's in defence were my greatest consternation lays. I just cant see us not picking up injuries until the next window. Konate is prone to muscle injuries and Gomez 'if he stays' is also not shy of that treatment table.
I'm excited by the prospect of Gravenberch potentially growing into that role. This season is pretty much a free swing. A transitional one. I'm ok with us gambling with the squad we have personally. Assuming we don't have any more outgoings that is.
This window is more than likely to close with us still apparently searching for the perfect 6 and in the January window we will get the same diatribe they trot out every Jan window. Clubs aren't willing to lose players in January and the quality of player we require is not available. For Zubimendi see Bellingham ,we seem to put all our time and effort into negotiating deals that we have little chance of getting over the line. For Tchouaméni see Caicedo. It doesn't take a genius to detect a pattern forming here ?
The U21's played Leicester today and were narrowly beaten 2-1 with Nyoni scoring our only goal ,but the absentees possibly tell another story. Ben Doak, Stefan Bajcetic, Tyler Morton, James McConnell, Kaide Gordon, Owen Beck, Calum Scanlon and Marcelo Pitaluga all missing from the U21 squad, just as they were for the Premier League 2 opener the previous weekend. It's hardly a secret the names above have all been included in recent transfer discussions with permanent or loan exits a possibility in the final days of the window. Nutz
Shocked he is getting no real punishment considering there is a precedent for long bans from all football.
