Senesiās aerial duel win % is really low - heās in the bottom 8% for CBs across the top 7 leagues and that is a skill we value really highly in CBs.
For what it is worth Quansah is excellent in this category - as he is in most. We sold an elite talent. However Jacquet looks really good on paper too.
Quansah radar from 23/24 compared to van Dijk and Konate this season. So sad :(.
I rate Quansah, especially in possession, but it is a different league in respect of the style of football teams play.
Especially in regards to the PL forwards being more Grok type and the play style from a lot if teams being more direct, long throws, corners etc.
I know a lot of analyists find CBās hard to compare.
That said on the eye test when watching Senesi, I think he is more Lovren than being a Virg.
Those were Quansahās stats in the Premier League - as a 21 year old. Obviously youād expect some regression to the mean since this was only 1400 minutes of play but itās absolutely mad that we sold him. I hope we get him back one day.
Quansah was a big mistake. The only way I can make sense of it is if we buy him back at a fixed price, paying them say a 20M ādevelopment feeā on top of what we sold him for. He was a very good talent and the regular game time has been his finishing school.
I didnāt realize Senesi was so poor in the air. I was drawn to a free defender, Prem proven, to come and be a squad man on a free, giving us cover as we bring some younger players through who will prove to be much better. But if his level isnāt good enough, heās not worth a spot, even on a free.
I totally agree, far less mistakes than both our CBās this year compared to last, but was lambasted when on numerous occasions it wasnāt even his fault. i.e when Szob sold him short and0 Virg blasted the ball at him for the OG.
I watched Bournemouth v Man U and Senesi was poor, just seemed to be out of position and Bournemouth conceded poor goals ā¦ would fit in well here 
I personally just get very frustrated, not just at Liverpool but any Premier League club, who develop players through their academy and have a talent on their hands who is clearly good enough to keep around but they sell them on anyway. Especially since FFP came in itās an epidemic. Time will tell how good Leoni and Jacquet are but selling Quansah for 35m then signing two players from abroad for double that cost is both a risk financially and quality-wise.
Does look good on the short term financial statements though. What a broken system that clubs are now incentivized to sell off homegrown talents first.
FFP or whatever it is called has messed up player development with regards to bringing them through to play for a club in the long term as potential squad members as their value is better served selling them to offset the finances.
Then there are the clubs using the loopholes, with interclub transfers of players at fees far exceeding what they are worth.
Do you think anyone will remember āNever Give Upā when Salah had taken a concussed blow to his senses on the head?
Genuinely interested because it sounds like something he would have said. Or is it only reserved for 2019 and the greatest ever semi-final I ever watched down the local.
My mind was blown that night anyway
Your posts seem incoherent, never understand anything you are trying to say.
I know, I donāt understand anything I say either.
I give it no prepared analysis, no thought, I just type whatever arrives into my concussed head. Quite selfish really, so apologies for that.
I donāt expect to be forgiven though, so youāre right to call me out 
I recall you joking about half way through last season at the folly of making googoo eyes at some young foreign CB when we already had one at the club who was better than whomever we were talking aboutā¦and then we went ahead and did it
Having watched the very entertaining Man U v. Forest game yesterday, I was particularly impressed with Gibbs-White. We need someone with that kind of energy. Of course, if the club persists with Slot then I canāt see us going for that type of player. But if I were in charge, Iād buy him and Wharton and get shut of Gravenberch and Mac Allister.
Plus, theyāre both home-grown which is an added advantage.
Gibbs Whiteās main position is CAM. We already have Wirtz there.
I really want us to buy back Quansah. He did well here during Kloppās last season, and he is doing well in Bundesliga.
I share your frustration with regards to selling academy products, especially to bypass PSR or whatever itās called nowadays. Whether Quansah is elite, time will only tell but I do remember that he always had a mistake in him since that draw at Old Trafford.
I do believe he would have got the proper chance to bounce back had Klopp stayed but itās moot point now. As long as Slot is here, I donāt see him coming back, regardless of the deal the club stuck with Leverkusen.
His mistakes were more to do with the odd errant pass, a penalty where Szob sold him short with a back pass and another where Virg smashed the ball at him which ended up rebounding off him into the back of the net.
None really as bad as the multitude of errors from our current CBās
I see Wirtz in the front three and going wherever he wants.
Recently been playing more on the left, as Forest changed their shape to play two up top more often.
But I agree heās probably not really the profile we need, even if I like the player ever since he was a younger player at Wolves.
All this putting a few forwards on the pitch and letting them interchange is something I often hear when there are no clear solutions what exactly to do with them in all phases of the game. We had that under Rodgers at times and the attack was indeed of high quality, but the overall balance of the team wasnāt.
There is something you can call individual freedom (which Wirtz can have, but in possession), regardless whether a team plays more transitional or positional football. There is PSGās example, all the rotations they do, also having players to do that. But my hopes of building something functional here with the main offensive players we currently have + at least another new one arenāt getting raised by reading a theory of āweāll just let them roam and interchangeā. Iām almost sure that will not happen.
