The future of our backline is looking absolutely colossal, isn’t it? With the summer arrival of Ifeanyi Ndukwe from Austria Vienna, our centre-back depth feels truly secured for years to come. Standing at a staggering 6ft 6in, this lad is a physical marvel with the technical composure to match his massive frame.
When you pair his raw potential with the legendary Virgil van Dijk, the exciting Jeremy Jacquet, and Giovanni Leoni, we have nothing to worry about even if Ibrahima Konaté failed to sign a new contract and Joe Gomez eventually move on. These youngsters are more than ready to step up! We can expect Ndukwe to dominate the air and bring a modern, ball-playing presence to Anfield that will keep us at the top.
However, there’s a nagging worry amongst some of us. Despite this incredible talent pool, there is a genuine fêâr that Arne Slot won’t give these lads the chance they deserve. After some tactical failures that left many of us scratching our heads, the lack of faith in rotation is concerning. Honestly, it’s exactly why many are calling for a change in the dugout. We need a manager who actually trusts the process!
Physically he looks well ready for premier league. Never seen him play, hoping he’s quite technically gifted also for a young age.
If Konate leaves for free and Gomez gets an injury. Then he will have no choice but to select from an 18, 19 or 20 year old with a combined total 52 matches in the first team of a first division European club.
The other option is to buy another defender to be certain. But are they sticking by - a current player has to be in the process of a move out of the club before getting a chequebook out?
If you discard the first 5 wins of the season and use the average points per game of the next 31 games as the 36 games so far we could potentially be sitting on 51 points and 9th.
That being said, it seems that there is some truth to it…Gakpo seems to be nearly undroppable and Gravenberch is allowed the opportunity to venture forward once he publicly asked for it…
That being said, I am very surprised that we are linked to players like Dumfries where he is really upper mid at 30 years old…
Well, a half truth joke then. I genuinely think Slot is uninspiring and therefore less able to attract top world talents. But folks will say he signed Jacquet.
