Kudos for being one of the very few visiting supports who doesn’t come on here and troll! Ha ha I’m a liverpool season ticket holder ha ..from liverpool. Although I like speaking to different fans. An to be honest with you I always find when you just speak to your own hard to be balanced. With gerrard coming in I been watching with interest - not because I want him at liverpool..quite happy with klopp! - but as arguably the best player I ever saw play for us it automatically creates that interest. don’t get me wrong it doesn’t mean to say he will be a great manager but the early signs look good to me. you were very unlucky tonight but when I compare you to us - which is natural - apart from being more clinical the full backs is the obvious difference.

Digne bridges that gap Thanks and yeah I agree - where Gerrard has improved us elsewhere it’s highlighted the full backs needing to be top level to play his system and we’re short of that at the moment.

They often the outlet aren’t they an need that quality. Similar to ours I suspect digne will at times get caught out of position but that is a calculated risk that most of the top clubs are willing to take now. An it will be why I suspect that the next move gerrard makes will be a holding mid who can get about the pitch an cover them when they do.

useless Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 This is one of those where I will happy enough to sign him as I'm sure he will improve us and suit Big Steven's system better than Targett, but if Newcastle signed him instead I wouldn't be so terribly sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I like Targett but it would be nice to have a FB who can create on his own instead of relying on a better player (Grealish) to essentially help him out.

VillaJay Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Gerrard also commented on his side’s interest in Everton full-back Lucas Digne, indicating that the wheels are in motion, without naming names "We are working hard on targets. It is not respectful to mention any names but there is no smoke without fire and we want to try and improve certain areas of our team and our squad.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Targett showed tonight his position can be strengthened, hopefully Digne gets signed soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Khizzy Posted January 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2022 If we had played United with Digne and Coutinho in our side tonight then I think we could have won pretty comfortably. That's the difference for me. Fingers crossed they will both be in by Saturday. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a very soft core and with a midfield three of Ramsey, McGinn and Luiz we are going to struggle against a lot of teams as we lose the middle of the park both offensively and defensively. Coutinho Watkins Buendia strengthens our attack. Cash Konsa Mings Digne marginally strengthens our defence (possibly more strengthens attack). But no changes to our midfield mean there is no engine in our flashy sports car. You'd think Gerrard of all people would identify this quickly and have a solution. Let's hope Purslow and Co are on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope Purslow and Co are on it. Nakamba was a huge loss. He was really standing out as the 6. He looked so much better than he ever had done for Smith because of how Gerrard and his coaches set the rest of the team up in front of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
