He would be first choice here if we went for him. It just feels like we are missing out in this window, with bad luck and bad decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably will cost £5-7m, which isn’t that bad. Good shout mate. Not sure if he can play right wing though, but has played CAM & LW. Think he will have a break through season similar to Olise.

If he plays another 11 games for them I think they have to pay Liverpool something silly like 17 million so I do wonder if he will end up having to leave with them paying part of his wages. Won't be to us sadly though unless we can justify 200k plus a week on him with no loan fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays around 10 more game they have to give Liverpool another 20m, they are not going to want to do that. 25 minutes ago, Out Foxed said: we should be all over bernardo silva He cost Man C more then 40m and is on big wages, he is not coming here.

Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 9 August 2021 Share Posted 9 August 2021 The system were playing at the moment is a 442 without the ball and a 3421 with it. Not even sure were playing with a right winger as perez is basically playing as an inside forward. More likely to see Barnes competition than anything else.

The club have to pay that money back, there is absolutely nothing to suggest we do not. Yeah, for FFP infrastructure might not count towards passing or failing that. But it’s still on the clubs books and we still have to pay it back. They could defer payments, they could even convert that debt to equity. But as it’s stands we are paying it back, with interest. I don't think people live in the real world, no matter what you say, they just think every owner wants to be Abramovich or Sheikh Mansour and pump millions in. Every transfer window they think we are going to splash the cash and spend millionS, and then we spend about 20m net. Every LCFC financial report has the word sustainability in it.

On the ball it's 4-2-3-1 and off it it's 3-4-2-1? I know this was mentioned back end of last season when we all thought we were still playing 3-4-2-1 but it had been subtly tweaked.

Noticed on Saturday Ricardo virtually played as a right winger at times. Bertrand goes later and only if the ball is on his side too. They definitely depend with maddison and vardy as a front 2.

Perez comes inside and Pereira goes high. Similar to what Italy were doing it the euros with Spinazolla but opposite sides. Shame Perez isn’t quite Insigne but oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No definitely 3-4-2-1 in possession and 4-4-2 when out of possession against both Man City and those who will not be named 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHDrive Posted 9 August 2021 Author Share Posted 9 August 2021 We build from a back 4 and defend from a back 3 as far as I'm watching them other wise you may as as well class it as a back 2 then 2 fullbacks then 1 DM etc etc. If we had Castagna fit on the right with RP ahead with the strength that Bertrand and Barnes had on the opposite flank then you wouldn't have that sea-saw movement of right backs becoming full backs with how RP was playing. On Saturday it was only Cags and Amartey on the halfway line when in their half which is why mahrez was able to break with that ball bang on and through the centre circle. BR has been working on this transition but it's always been about having the players to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With possession it is debatable if it is a 4-2-3-1 or 3-4-2-1, as with the latter I don't see who plays as the 3rd defender or where Madders, Barnes and Perez play. They seem a more natural fit to 4-2-3-1. However, I certainly see us transitioning in between the two formations during a match as needed. It's a brilliant weapon to have.

It very fluid Bertrand, Soyuncu, and Amartey make the 3, Riccardo push up to make the 4 with Barnes, Ndidi, Tielemans, Maddison play as a 10, Perez come infield as another 10 and Vardy up top. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes so much sense now, especially after seeing it work so well for Italy at the Euros and so well for us in Community Shield. It's why I don't get the Perez hate (as much as he is frustrating). He does his job as you've described. Where we need to improve on him is having someone who is equally good at dropping inside like him, but also stretching play as Barnes does - even just as an alternative option during games. Doing so would make us that bit more fluid and allow our attacks to be even more varied. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudFox Posted 9 August 2021 Share Posted 9 August 2021 TL;DR: We don't need a right winger, we need a pacy right-sided, left footed attacking midfielder. Hi Asensio 👋👀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps not quite yet, but before Christmas I would think. As long as he is fully integrated into the senior pool of players he will get his chance. He could save us a pile of money if he comes through this season. He might even close down the interminable R.W. thread on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeCrEt FoX Posted 9 August 2021 Share Posted 9 August 2021 Probably been mentioned but I'd go for Xherdan Shaqiri. Liverpool have put him up for around 13m. Proven at top level, scores goals, tricky RW and only 29 yrs old. Get him on a 3 or 4 year deal, problem solved! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
