I always try to catch my attacking players. So if I can I will be trying for ones in more attacking teams if possible. So that'll be no woods or Wilsons for me this year hopefully

Ace2007 wrote: » Well the simple question is why don't Liverpool have a player at the same moment in their career as Tuanzebe, or an experienced centre back on the bench. It's not as if Klopp took over the squad this season and hasn't had time to get back up if he doesn't believe the youth are ready yet.

It's possible that Werner may be 2nd in line... But there's no guarantee that jorginho will be a starter for the whole season

Morzadec wrote: » Really can't compare Rhys Williams to Tuanzebe though. Williams is 19 and you can see from his body that he's not fully filled out yet. Tuanzebe is 22, a fully grown man, looks very strong. Tuanzebe has also played a decent bit of Championship football, Rhys Williams was playing in the conference just a couple of months ago. I would worry for him physically with Antonio, I think he'll eat him alive, it really literally would be "men against boys" in that matchup. It's not slight on him at all from Klopp to be benched for Henderson, which I think will ultimately happen if Matip can't play. Could be a good day for Antonio, will be difficult for Liverpool if Matip is out.
Ace2007 wrote: » The thing thought with saying that Rhys Williams looks good is that - instead of playing him there in the past, he's put in Fabinho - which doesn't give great confidence in the young lad. You have United throwing in Tuanzebe for a game against PSG for instance. I brought up the subject of Pool's defense weeks ago and they just don't have any back up of any real quality if there are injures. Man City/Chelsea/United have numerous defenders (not all can handle the pressure or are trusted, but they know the position), whereas with Pool, it's TAA, VVD, Gomez/Matip and Robbo - Ignore Milner and Fabino as they are mids. All we've seen really is Nico Williams who looks like a rabbit in headlights when he's played. If Klopp does play Henderson as others believe, it will be even worse for the young lad - as what would need to happen for him to play. Playing Henderson in CB will weaken their midfield - although it may allow Jota more game time as he is a worker. Hopefully though whoever plays will help them keep CS.

Ace2007 wrote: » On another note - Fabiano injury may lead to random lad playing in central defence - will be tough keeping double pool defence.

I don't think he can start back to back games in midfield, let alone do back to back 90s. He could do a job for a game alright at LB but that creates another problem. It would leave just Wijnaldum & Curtis Jones as the only fit CMs (as Henderson will be viewed as a CB for now). Ox I think won't be seen for a good few months yet either. Until Keita & Thiago regain match fitness, this issue is going to persist. It looks like Henderson could be having a run of games at CB now to me anyways. With the midfield and shape of the team having heavy rotation to try and protect the players who are available and can fill in at CB & CM.
