So weird that people can’t just be normal about him.

He’s only 18, it’s hardly a disaster to go back to learning from top level Players at 19.

I think there are some fair points in there personally. 9 players sounds a lot but when you break it down there’s 2 keepers to replace the 2 who left, a back up left back with very little experience, a player we already had on loan etc. we’ve done some good stuff but there’s no need to get...

Yeah pal, but unless you’re a Liverpool based company pal, not many companies are going to choose to put their head office in L3 pal.

Nobody’s paying premium prices for office space in 2025, it only gets used a couple of days a week!

There has been a creeping increase in people clapping the attendance announcement and on Wednesday there were grown adults shouting SIUUUU when Alcaraz celebrated. Relegation is what the club needs to cleanse us of this plague.

Those 2 examples are exactly why i was making the point about if not being that simple. The 800m is a non contact sport and rugby is a contact sport, the rules in football aren’t as clear cut as either because you can have some contact but only a limited amount, they don’t work as comparisons...

I don’t say this to criticise mykolenko but it does make me laugh when people act like if you miss 3 days of training you have to be classed as ‘coming back from injury’ for the next 6 months.

Well it does if you think about it a tiny bit. I assume the suggestion is that Soucek would take up the 'number 10' role in the way Fellaini did, and so the likes of Ndiaye and Alcaraz would be shifted wide, pushing Dibling down the pecking order.

If that's the case it's hard to see it as a good use of funds though. It's a decent chunk of money on someone who will have no resale value and is on big wages. It only really makes sense if he's seen as a key part of the team. If he's just cover/a rotation option it just doesn't seem to be a...

He's a decent player and wouldn't be the worst signing we could make, but it's a weird one for me and doesn't strike me as being part of a coherent strategy.

That's a different thing though? Thinking it's better for his development to stay here doesn't make him going to the Championship a waste of time, it just means you don't think it's the right thing. Obviously you'd hope he, his coaches, his advisors, his manager etc have a better idea of what...

I don't really see how it's a waste of time? I could get an argument that he should be in the team here (I don't agree, but I could get it) but I can't really understand how going and playing 30/40 games in the Championship would be a waste of time?

I doubt too much of it was specifically because of transport issues to be honest, people have always left games 10 minutes early and it was hardly an enthralling spectacle on Wednesday, but a lot of people will have just wanted to go to the new stadium and once it was nearly over had seen enough...

In what way? In terms of style of play I can't think of anybody he looks less like at the moment. Dowell was a player who had lots of natural talent with the ball at his feet and was capable of magic moments but for 89 minutes you could forget he was playing as he just didn't get involved. The...
