No problem but do you have evidence that either scenario is followed given our incoming spend on players. Some big transfer fees of late.
It’s well known that it was FSG that turned Klopp on the VvD deal before, I think, blabbing about it before it was finalised.
As far as I’m aware they’ve backed the club management on every target player that’s been identified. They even backed Salah’s salary which I believe broke the clubs wage structure.
Where we may agree is that they have installed a strict framework on how the club manages its finances. And that framework falls strictly within FFP rules.
To me, the saga looks like we have a pretty strict transfer regime in place i.e. there’s a plan when certain transfers happen. That seems to have broken down for some reason.
Still, that’s all kind of irrelevant if your players decide they aren’t going to turn up against Bournemouth. That starting 11 was plenty good enough to win that game.
Was a bit nervous when I read the starting 11 before the game. Elliot and Bajcetic starting together with fab didn’t instil a lot of confidence. Elliott struggle physically and positionally, and it showed again today.
We started well but we looked vulnerable on the counter. Shit defending on their goal.
Jota was lively when he came on, the rest not up to the task today. I’m afraid we can forget about a top four finish at this point😞
Did you get out to Villers-Bretonneux to the Aussie war memorial? I went to the Anzac dawn service a few years ago which was a nice experience. Certainly something i’m considering doing again this year now that I live just up the road.
Just finished watching the game, we need some major surgery we look woeful against a packed defence and that is after starting positively.
The only player to come out of that game with anything positively was Gakpo maybe Ali.
Don’t get me started on Mo, he was passenger before and after his penalty, why he wasn’t substituted is beyond me, even though Nunez was also poor he is a better option when at the end all we are doing is slinging crosses in.
We are so poor at progressing the ball through midfield and committing their midfield break the lines without just playing outside them and we don’t learn at the back when playing against pacy players.
Just watch our passing, slow, often misdirected even on simple ones, for me this is what causes us to become nervous as we cannot do the simple things well.
I was hoping beyond hope we were beyond this type of performance
Berating Thiago or any of the other midfielders for having low goals/assists is nonsensical really. Eight years into Klopp’s tenure you’d think people would have realised by now what kind of roles he’s asking them to do.
The difference is that United were open and thought they could beat us going gung ho and toe to toe rather than being compact and hard to play through.
United made it easy for us to break the lines.
We are so poor again, against these teams that or organised in a good defensive shape
