Looking forward to this after finishing work later. We have a few out but still a strong squad overall. I’m pleased to have Kounde and ocampos back. Having both navas and acuna available definitely strengthens us again the full/wing back positions.
Shame of Martial his injury, expecting him to play as much games as possible these absences are so costly. Also no Papu for the rescue like usually today. Need others to step it up (mostly counting on Corona), and Youssef to put on his studs not the ice skates.
Why don’t we play Delaney at CB instead of Gudelj? Delaney has experience with Dortmund playing center back, if I remember correctly, and Gudelj is this make-shift center back we created ourselves.
So much quality is out injured, but we got Tecatito & our main fullbacks to create the chances for us. Away days have always been tough, but I trust we make it through.
Full backs man, I swear in modern football. The value of good ones is insane. If you look at Hakimi for example, or both Liverpool wingbacks. They both have legit 10 assists this season already. Unreal.
100% – just thinking the other day, Liverpool’s midfield isn’t that great compared to most elite teams. We’re sorta in the same scenario, except our front trio isn’t as prolific. Similarly our fullbacks do most of the assisting, and would have more if players on the other end of those passes would finish.
