DJBOB Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) 27 minutes ago, Indigo said: + performances against Man City etc. The salient point isn't that he's widely being called "great" either, just that he deserves his place in the side rather than both Ramsey and McGinn starting in midfield which is evidently not working. Funny isn't it, this clip? Liverpool got into gear in the second but we gave it a good go in the first half. Back four was the same, but the midfield was Nakamba/Luiz/McGinn and you can see how they complemented each other here. A sitter, a shuffler, and a forward midfielder. It was staring at Gerrad right in the face! And then we had to go off into JJ-McGinn world. Two players who deserve better than to start together (for most matches). Now the second half had some baffling subs - but par for the course there. Edited September 1, 2022 by DJBOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Kamara might be a better player than luiz but the best player we have at the moment to play alongside kamara is luiz. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston_Villan4 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Really shameful how Gerrards treated him and how lackadaisical we were in getting a new contract for him. I’m actually quite pissed about it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m actually quite pissed about it. He was actively running down his contract. You can be sure we offered him a new one 12 months ago but he wouldn't sign it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's that Luiz was no longer man marking Salah as Nakamba went off and mcginn did instead. Instantly lost Salah and left mings isolated vs Salah in the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoFantastico Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I see Sky Sports have decided to make Luiz this year's Jack Grealish. Desperate for him to move to Arsenal and reporting some absolute crap again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the type of thing you broadcast publicly and I'm sure Luis didn't flat out refuse one, probably wanted to keep us as plan B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah that's right - I was looking at the lineup subs wondering why Nakamba was subbed off (injury I think?) and not a DM subbed on for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
