That is Lord Naldini.

You mere mortals need to learn some respect towards our lord and saviour :wink:

I think it’s disrespectful to give Nat names modeled after Maldini as if Nat is any lesser. If anything, Paolo Maldini should now be known something as Palaniel Maldillips.

Well worth a place in the squad. As long as he understands that his role is likely to be limited. If he can live with that, great… however he can do a job in the premier league and be a starter probably for 30-40% of clubs

And last night him and Konate were brilliant

That drag-back will be talked about for years, stuff of legend. :heart_eyes:

So happy that he got the first start of this season. Even with Gomez returning, I hope Klopp gives him as many minutes possible.

Said in the Konate thread that I thought it was the best performance from a CB pairing this season

He’s actually Englands best centre half. Maguire nope, stones maybeeeee?, Mings no, Coady no. Sure even Walker gets a game in centre half. Nat for World Cup imo. Get it trending

I see the internet is awash with images of the ā€˜Phillips Drag-Back’. This guy is so good he’s even created his own moves. After seeing Arsenal spend Ā£50 million on Ben White I’m all for the club going for some hard-bargaining if any one wants him in Jan. I’m sure he’d like some more game time but he should be choosy about where he goes next. He’ll never win the Ballon D’Or at Burnley.

Konsa has been the best English centre back for a while now.

Nat is definitely better than a few of the others who’ve been picked ahead of him. He’s a better player than Mings and Coady without a doubt.

I think whether he stays til the Summer relies on this January, I don’t think we will entertain a move til late in the window.

  • FA Cup at home against Shrewsbury - weā€˜ll surely win that one and have at least another round to play.

  • If we beat Leicester in the League Cup we will have two (!!) semi final games in January.

This and the fitness of our other 4 CBs will decide if we will sell him in January IMO.

And Abonlahor thinks he’s a Championship defender at best.

I dont think he’s been watching Maguire lately

if only that were real

Could see a loan in January and then sell him next summer, that’s more realistic I think.

Bought him in Janruary 2022 on my Leeds FM22 save and his been a fucking rock for me. My most reliable and consistant CD - even if my weekly team recomendation keeps telling me to play others ahead of him.

I’m coming to realise my Assistant Manager can fuck right off

Yeah my experience of the game is that the Assistant Manager is out for your job. Let him pick the team, he includes players who aren’t fit.

Let him advise on staff he will recommend you bring in people where there are no vacancies - which if you don’t immediately notice leave you in an embarrassing position with the board…

Can’t trust the fucker…
