    Clyne will be grand. He looked great in preseason, and I've little doubt he'll push on again.

    I wonder has his role slightly changed since Milner is the LB now, rather than Moreno who would play it in a more traditional sense. Milner seems to have a higher starting point when we're building up, so Clyne might be told to sit a bit deeper and narrower as a result.

    I haven't been able to watch the last two or three games in full, unfortunately, so I'm honestly only speculating.

    Is darmain still the best rb in the league or I wonder if that's changed now.

    Course not, it's Sagna, Jenkinson, Debuchy Bellerin.

    I hate to say it but Valencia is doing a super job at right back for United this season. Walker has been decent too I suppose.

    The 2 of them plus Bellerín and Coleman are all better than Clyne, but that still makes him 5th in the league if there's not somebody I'm missing

    Zabaleta and Ivanovic seems to be back at his best this season so far.



    Clyne is a solid fullback 7 out of 10 every game and that's a good thing but he was getting bigger props because of Moreno's failings.

    Nah, she had an affair with a guy back in Croatia and was then looking for a divorce.

    what's this nonsense about Clyne? He obviously has no final ball and his attacking instincts aren't the best but he's ****ing brilliant besides that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,559 ✭✭✭dogbert27


    Moreno came on for Mane at 90 minutes.

    What position did he take up?

    Did he go to left back or the wing?

    I only watched the game again last night and still can't remember. The anti-Moreno tablets seem to be working!! :pac:

    Yeah, he's still the best RB in the league but it's a different league now...:pac:

    Luis is a "Beautiful" man so say the Celtic manager today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,076 ✭✭✭✭Utopia Parkway


    Looks like Terry is out for Friday. Luiz in for him I presume.

    Great, Luiz to score a worldie free kick and man of the match performance on his return debut to Stamford Bridge and then be Side Show Bob again for the rest of the season.

    A bit on the plans for the development of the Anfield road end. Seemingly, outline planning permission exists but the final plans must be submitted before September of next year. It should mean a start date of 2019.

    Another few years of Harry uploading photos of the incremental building process, and some Sakho helping out jokes thrown in for good measure.

    What a time to be alive.

    Speaking of Bale, anyone catch the U23 higlights? Trent Alexander Arnold is just starting to look like a right sided version was as quick as a flash to spot a space to run into and offer an option. Ben Woodburn was of course on fire, all four goals are quality and they could have had 10 by full time with a little more accuracy.

    Can't believe two and a quarter years later this is being discussed!

    Hey man, like it or not 2014 was the only real title challenge I have experienced as a Liverpool fan (no, 2009 doesn't count as we were never really in that, we were just the best of the rest) so I'm gonna be talking about it till the next one at least! Not all of us were lucky enough to live through the glory years. :(

    interesting to see how quickly everyone moves towards the player being passed to - it's like a starters pistol went off they're so in sync.

    Playing devil's advocate though, what always worries me is if that guy plays a one touch pass in the empty space--

    396924.png

    --Then 7 of our players are out of the game with that one pass. Leaving a 3 on 3. I'm always just a bit worried about pressing hard every time, as even if there isn't a direct line of sight pass to a player, there's always a pass free into space for them to bypass our press. Have to figure that over time opposition players will be told to avoid our press by quickly playing it forward into space first time.

    I'm not sure there's a better way to do it though, and I do love watching our high tempo high pressing approach.

    We even won the shots against the woodwork competition 3-1.

    The U23 look like a very entertaining team, I love the fast passing game they play.

    We'd have beaten that record if we played Celtic tonight considering how badly we beat Barcelona a few weeks ago.
