I assume these views of the playoffs and round of 16 from the FotMob app are accurate. And if so, there’s definitely a case for Liverpool to just make 100% sure of a 7th win out of 7 in their UCL campaign.

Fugly win, but accumulate enough of those & then you likely win things. So keep them coming where they make sense to exist.

Ah, the obligatory Stuart Robson “Trent incapable defending” narrative. Almost went the whole match without it.

The more I see, the more I’m sad Darwin pretty much stayed the same player from Benfica, just a much more expensive version. Raw & talented & sub optimal coaching then. But I naturally struggle to defend him now with the same narrative.

Am I weird to think Trent shouldn’t have to have been closing both his opponent on the wing AND the one just outside the box?

Can’t help but lament the presence of Felix & Renato on this list & think what a damn pity this dynamic exists where Benfica feel obligated to pull the trigger on every big deal that comes in. Goncalo Ramos, Guedes & João Neves also left too early in my view.
In which I rank the most expensive (inflation-adjusted) U21 players between 1999 and 2022 and ask... was it worth it?
HITS INCLUDE: Sterling, Gvardiol, Rooney, Vinicuys
BUSTS INCLUDE: Joao Felix, Dembele, Fabio Silva, Pulisic, Martial et al.

From Mbappé to Pulisic, which most expensive U21 soccer signings were hits?
ESPN looks at the 25 most expensive under-21 signings made from 1999 to 2002 to determine whether those players met or broke their ceiling, or failed to live up to the hype.

I still want that proper 6. Amazing what Slot has done with the place, but I wonder if a proper first choice 6 wouldn’t enable the present cast to show the fuller extent of their box to box / attacking abilities.
You can sign one player in Jan. Either pick a position or pick a player… #LFC
