Tyler Adams with an unquestionable yellow card there. Not given by Oliver, who was 5 yards away. Can’t wait for his inevitable second yellow card offence later on. Inept refereeing, once again #lfc #pgmol

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

As much as I feel the criticism of him is way over the top and unwarranted. This has been an awful first 30 minutes from Florian Wirtz, he looks like he’s never played with the rest of the team before. #lfc

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

This is awful. We look hungover, while Fulham have acres of space every time they come forward and should be putting us to the sword. I’ve seen more intensity in testimonial matches than from our lads today #lfc

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

15 mins in and it almost looks like we don’t have a midfield at all… Far too easy for Fulham. Jacquet bailing us out multiple times so far. #lfc

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

Positive first half, hopefully more of the same after the break. That’s the version of Isak we thought we’d signed. #lfc

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

I see the rules regarding penalties for contact after the ball has been played have changed again already. Refereeing in this country is a disgrace #lfc #pgmol

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

Find it strange the club have multi-year planning and utilise forward thinking for the GK position, yet are happy to neglect other positions in the squad for years on end #lfc

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

Imagining a right side of Frimpong and Sarr against low blocks 😂 what are we doing?! #lfc

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

Letting Gakpo go to a rival and replacing him with either Sarr (significant downgrade) or Minteh (not fit for 2-3 months) is absolutely inept from the club. I’d take it if it meant we were brining in a full-back and CM but we just know that won’t happen. We’ll be worse off #lfc

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

Really impressed by Munoz. The goal, quality on the ball, work rate and some real tenacity, something we lack. #lfc

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

It’s going to take time after some botched recruitment & the lack of fitness/ fight that’s now imbedded into the squad after the last season and a half under Arne Slot #lfc

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

What are some of these decisions?! Let alone the delay with the fourth official. Inept refereeing, as usual. #lfc

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

Impressive first half from Wirtz. Very worried about Isak and Frimpong though… #lfc

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

Frimpong is a massive weakness in our side #lfc

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

Looking like Ismaila Sarr is the only player we are going to sign before the deadline then (Barcola aside), terrible. #lfc

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

Chelsea signing Martinez is huge for them, he’s overrated but a significant upgrade on their weakest link; Sanchez.

Can see them easily finishing in the top 3 now, sadly.

#lfc #cfc

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

Definitely very excited by the Barcola signing, hopefully another two come in alongside him but I’m sure we’ll leave ourselves short in a couple of areas, as usual. #lfc

[. @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.

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

One week to go in the window and it’s looking like we will be:

1) Sanctioning sales for Elliott, Chiesa, Endo (?)
2) Signing Bradley Barcola
3) Signing Minteh OR another winger
4) Selling Gakpo if 2 wingers sign
5) Neglecting midfield and full-back areas…

#lfc

[Tom @t_josephlfc]

There are glaring personnel issues all over the starting 11. Funnily enough, the one position we seem to have multiple, decent options for currently is LW, which is probably the only position we’ll sign an (available) player for in the next week. Recruitment, a shambles. #lfc
