Some thoughts on the Liverpool performance.

I thought Badiashille looked good, very composed and calm defensively and good on the ball. In the absence of Colwill he should get a prolonged spell as LCB. Acheampong also looked good, showed his quality driving out in possession, but also showed his inexperience attempting passes that he'd get away with at youth level, but here they result in a loss of possession. He could form a CB partnership with Colwill for the next decade, but I'd like to see him on the right of a three, maybe coming in from RB in our current system. I think we need a commanding CB in January or next summer, someone who can play the central role when we shift into a back three. For now, whilst in possession, pulling Cucurella into a LCB role, putting Badiashille into CCB and Fofana or Acheampong at RCB might be our best option. That'd allow James or Gusto to invert or push up wide.


I like Andrey Santos, but Lavia is quite a bit clear of him, the midfield of Lavia, Caicedo and Enzo dominated Liverpool's midfield in the final period of the game. Having them and Andrey Santos is an embarrassment of riches, but, can Maresca keep them all happy?


We've got an OK run of fixtures now. I'd love to see us setting up positively and attacking games. We look so much better with a FB pushing on, rather than inverting into midfield.
