@GrizzKhan Edwards and Hughes have hung Slot out, thats another part of it. But having a full season as a sample size and seeing no improvement, probably more regression if anything, its hard to fathom what Hughes or Edwards are seeing. Its bordering neglect
@Mobyhaque1 I'm not sure why you'd be so hot on Barcola if you're looking for mentality monsters. He's the last guy you want when you're in a tight, tough game.
@JoshLFC1909 Barcola has bags of talent, but he is not the guy you want in games when things arent going well for him. Mane and Firmino always offered at least work rate in games they struggled in. Barcola wont, Ekitike doesnt either. You can only afford to have so much of that in a team
@ColeJacksonFB How many 5s would you offload to move up for a Sam Hecht/Keonte Scott double or something similar that you really like. Both those guys make an immediate impact, in my head anyway!
@Max8LFC Fabinho crunching someone. Robertson pressing like a mad man. Big Joel. All that is totally gone, replaced by media robots. Ekitike swapping jerseys during a game were getting smashed in is where the mentality of this team is.
@Max8LFC Ya agree here. This team is in need of someone to really get behind. So many of them now seem disconnected from the fans or hard to really like (strange thing to say i know)
There is no character in the team. Someone to spark a crowd. Think Bobby, Mane, Salah obviously.
@RobertMonds@HoodieRamey I saw the Eric Mangini bit on that. No doubt Florio has some other negative narrative on the way as well. Youd love to know what LJ does when he hears this stuff.
@ColeJacksonFB Fano falls to Baltimore at 14, and use a round 2 (too high?) To trade for Grennard. Does this solve the biggest issues for you? Sub Ioane in at 14 of thats your fancy!
@Max8LFC Think this is more than fair. Last night was just a repeat of every other big game this season. Game kicks off, and the players are in sleep mode. When there were some Sly Klopp hit pieces released last season, one of them was how Slot would bring more control and less chaos
@AdamBMore I understand why you'd pay for Crosby, the guy is a menace and something we havent had in a long time. Its just a steep price, and we arent one player away from a superbowl. More like 2 trenches, which need investment AND draft capital
@213_LFC@JoshLFC1909 One of the biggest summer mishaps was not bringing in someone who could rotate in with Grav, or even rotate in and push him into an 8 role. Same mistake with VvD. 2 corner stones who need a game off here and there. Jones lacks the discipline for the Grav role. Roams a bit much.
