Asia Loves LFC

all things red. I love chatting about Liverpool FC, and it's transfers, opinions, match performance, culture, in present or past.

@nocontextfm1 @OptaAnalyst Give me 40k a week tax free, and I'll say Saudi human rights are world class

@StePlunk Gravenberch has to go to IQ school. His glazers have to stop riding his knob, bro has poor workrate defensively and just wants to roam forward

[Asia Loves LFC @lfc_hk]

@el_mansfield Stats don't reflect how poor he operates on RW. Nothing against the fella, but someone in the profile of Mbaye is preferred.

Minteh is fine too but he is injured and overpriced as most players in a premier league club are.

[Asia Loves LFC @lfc_hk]

Carragher should be banned from A field privileges. Bro is having a meal off our struggles, the troll must be stopped.

[FlorianFlicks @FlorianFocus]

Yo @Carra23, what did you think of Wirtz’s performance today?

Or do you only have something to say when you get the chance to trash him for clicks?

[Asia Loves LFC @lfc_hk]

@pythaginboots Agree 100% with Nyoni, but Gravenberch has 0 football IQ. Macca deserves to start

[Anfield Sector @AnfieldSector]

Thoughts on this from @Knox_Harrington on Dominik Szoboszlai? 🇭🇺

[Asia Loves LFC @lfc_hk]

Should have sold Szoboszlai. And also not extend Gravenberch

[Pythagoras In Boots ⚽️ @pythaginboots]

Szoboszlai In Cm… No MORE!

Well as a double pivot, outperformed by Mac Allister and the subs. Looked far more effective once he moved into a wider region of the pitch.

His ego won’t accept RB long term so is this a problem brewing?

Even Klopp has spoken. Stay away all you Wirtz haters. #lfc

[Anfield Sector @AnfieldSector]

🚨 Jurgen Klopp on the recent criticism of Florian Wirtz:

“I think Liverpool, at least, have absolutely understood where he actually needs to play. That is, of course, CENTRALLY, in the half spaces, the pockets where he needs to operate.

“But Flo also has to learn, of course. He has to play in such a way that, in the end, the manager doesn’t even consider taking him off. That’s just how it is. We can’t help him with that.

“I think they [Liverpool] will learn how to integrate him, and Flo simply has to play his game. That’s what it’s about. And I’d like to give him the opportunity to do that at some point.

“But anyone who wants to play for us HAS TO BE ABLE to counter press. I played Shinji Kagawa as a No. 10. He didn’t make a single tackle and was still one of the best counter pressing players I’ve ever had. It’s not about physicality. It’s about wanting to contribute in that respect as well.

“From a footballing point of view, he is beyond any doubt, for me and for everyone else too. But Jamie Carragher, Gary Neville and so on are, of course, always the first ones to get nervous in England.” 👀🇩🇪

@DaveOCKOP If Delap costs £50m. I want £100m total for Macca, then City can have him 👍

@thekopiteway Trent no ❌. Go back in time and bring Hendo back ✅

[Asia Loves LFC @lfc_hk]

@AnfieldSector @_pauljoyce He's always been a little overrated due to his ability to capture headlines off the bench. He's not the profile of player suitable for the premier league. Slow (can't play wide), one footed, unable to hold onto ball in tight spaces, can't tackle (can't play in the middle)

[Asia Loves LFC @lfc_hk]

@indykaila No thanks. Time to move on, he is physically washed. Also a good moment to create a hardworking culture on and off the pitch, Duolingo can wait. #lfc #duolingo

[Asia Loves LFC @lfc_hk]

Florian is the man. Never doubt #lfc

[Asia Loves LFC @lfc_hk]

@LFC Terrible, almost looks like a ManU training kit.

[Asia Loves LFC @lfc_hk]

I quite like this. But I would even already start Nyoni or Macca next game.

Right FB is an interesting situation

[. @DanLFC1_]

Stop this obsession with RWs.

None of them are worth anywhere close to the fees required or good enough.

From now till the end of the window:

- Barcola
- Camara
- Doue

Get Szobo out of the pivot. Have him and Munoz for RW.

You can switch Grav and Macca at this point idc

This is a balanced team.
2 wingers + Wirtz + Isak + Szobo in the pivot is a disaster waiting to happen.

[Asia Loves LFC @lfc_hk]

I don't understand the rationale behind bringing a 28y/o Sarr in. Minteh makes a lot more sense at a young age, higher workrate and still room to improve.

A good read. Szoboszlai is in an odd position, he should really have been sold if there was interest. Odd fit for this team after Wirtz was signed.

[. @DanLFC1_]

This.

He made a name for himself as a LW and RW in Leipzig and Salszburg's 4-4-2/4-box-2.

He has never played in the pivot on a consistent basis his whole career.

He isn't Gerrard's level of course, but stylistically very similar.

Gerrard wasn't suited to playing in the pivot. Same for Szoboszlai.

If we want to be a bit more attacking, play Munoz or Rio there in certain games or off the bench.

We'd be benefitting from his crossing, defensive contributions, extra physicality, and pressing.

Szobo RW tucking in with Camara - Macca/Grav would make a lot of sense.

@CaniSports Facts. Flo is our only future ballon d'Or winner in this squad.

@pythaginboots I appreciate your writing. Good insights, thoughts, and effort put in. All the best to your family and kids 🙏
