Smal

with 0.54 assists per 90 minutes played, he is the highest of all premier league wingers/attacking mids this season.

I’m not really convinced that selling him helps us with ffp tbh? We’d have to replace him and it would cost £30m+ to get someone who can contribute as much as he does.

it’s amazing how much better he looks physically compared to the start of the season more than anything imo.

Bruno: …and I took that personally.

this guy is my football knowledge litmus test

this Ritchie performance is proper soccer aid competition winner material

haha, come off it ref

Murphy is a classic 4-4-2 winger, who knew

This is a really good pressing team. Hope that's how we approach it. When Wilson and Isak played together in the last match they both were fluid in swapping between #9 and a more withdrawn role. Callum was dropping deeper just as much as Isak was.

Be a massive shame for him if he misses the Euros as a result, like. Might have been his last tournament.

their new ownership seems incredibly infantile

only halfway through it, but it's clear from match cam that Anderson brings leadership qualities. He's constantly trying to encourage.

Mbuemo would be a good fit for a direct Almirón replacement depending on the fee, but I think we need a wide option with more guile and creativity to be honest. Someone who can play between lines and thread passes for Isak/Gordon/Barnes. Not Bernardo Silva himself obviously but that kind of profile is something we're missing.

I think their online fans are mostly fine when their team is shit, but they are absolutely horrific when they’re good.

I'd be interested to see what De Zerbi could do with better players, but to be honest it doesn't feel like his brand of manufacturing counter attacks whilst in possession would really suit top club management. His Brighton team is all about coaxing out an opposition press in order to gain numerical advantages further up the pitch. If you're Liverpool manager you're probably not going to coax a press out of 70% of teams you face whatever you try.
