Kislyak needs to be the next signing from Russia.
The ban is hurting football, they have so many top top talents.
FT
- bright start to the 2h
- lost all control of the game when Nyoni went off
- Dom doesn't look fit yet
- not sure of our plan IP, lot of long and hope to pick scraps (or side to side and spam crosses)
- Barcola extremely poor game
- Rio and Munoz bright, but again we lacked any real idea or combinations down the flank to trouble
- subs were poorly timed
- Arsenal are well drilled
HT
- terrible opening 15 mins
- m2m wingers giving their fullbacks too much respect
- midfield open as a result
- clanger from Ali, he's regressing massively on the ball the last 12-18mos
- cross central, Araujo was positioned as another CF beside Isak often, must be a directive
- Wirtz and Barcola peripheral so far
- Nyoni fine, MacAllister our best player
- good final 15 mins

Why would I leave if I was Chiesa?
150k doing nothing, training with some of the best players, eating well, traveling everywhere.
Mf really hacked life
Well if we learned anything tonight it's that Nyoni is our most valuable CM alongside MacAllister. Wirtz to complete the trio and Dom back in at RB and we're in good shape.
Renew Virg, but the rest of the Dutch lads can go, they aren't bad players they're just not up to it.
The guys who are so pro-Iraola are now bed wetting and demanding 7 changes at HT to beat a full strength Chelsea in the Carabao Cup.
Interesting.

Exploiting the momentum of Brighton’s transition from man-marking to zonal marking, with excellent timing in taking advantage of the unfolding situation.
Liverpool disrupts Brighton’s defensive structure through coordinated movement. Isak drops deep to receive from Kerkez, drawing Vuskovic out of position. Gakpo makes an inward run, while Kerkez stretches Gomez horizontally. On the far side, Wirtz occupies two defenders, while Gravenberch pulls Pascal Groß away, preventing him from stepping into the newly opened space to cover it.
Crucially, Isak doesn’t return to his nominal position but stays on the same vertical line as Gakpo, exploiting the disruption. Gomez abandons Kerkez to compensate, but it’s already too late. Liverpool capitalises on the brief moment when Brighton’s defensive structure is caught between man-marking responsibilities and zonal assignments #LFC
Strong team. Would have got Endo and Chiesa in there to start so we can rest other legs, but solid rotation regardless.
The XI I'd like to see vs Chelsea:
Mamar, Araujo, Gomez, Virg, Chambers, Endo, Nyoni, Grav, Fede, Koumas, Rio
He stood in a mid block on the left and wasn't arsed to defend either on the front or the back end.
I was gonna do a thread on it, but it pissed me off so much when I watched the game again I couldn't.
It was horrendous.
Tomorrow, a thread will be posted about some concerning off-the-ball symptoms from Cody Gakpo. I noticed it against Villarreal and initially thought it was just a temporary issue, given that he had only just returned from injury and might need a game to get back up to speed. However, the same issue cropped up twice in quick succession early in Sunday’s match #LFC
You had me in the first half not gonna lie
#10s are dead
No space to play in any more
Man to man pressure makes the modern game kick and rush
All myths people tell so that they can tell myths, there is no other reason for this than man's innate pleasure in myth making through rough generalization
What do we want to see this weekend?
Iraola working with the most limited squad he's had since the season started.
Virg and Araujo had poor 1h v Villareal.
For me the team picks itself between that and the injuries. What do you all think?
