I'm not upset about that but weird that we'd be working on it. Need to get K8A done.

He'd better not wait. Elliot and Jones are going to be pushing for time and Carvalho might surpass all of them.

They're all a bit different and will primarily cover different roles. K8A is miles ahead of all of them as a CM.

This is fucking embarrassing. I can’t remember a time we looked worse.

Diaz is trying. At least someone is.

5 subs tells me TAA needs to get his shit together or he's off pretty early. Nunez needs to get on quickly in the 2nd. 

Thiago pulling up. Awesome. Things are going great. 

Did you guys know we paid 85 million for Nunez? I’ve only heard it 73 times this morning. 

I'll take that. Off his backfoot. Wow.

I think Nunez might replace Mane pretty effectively. 

All that work to get back in. Wasted. 

MO SALAH! MO SALAH! MO SALAH!

RUNNING DOWN THE WING!
SALAH LA LA LA LA!

THE EGYPTIAN KING!

Mo and Darwin, the Backfoot Brothers.

Kinda feel like TAA needs to be subbed off just to make a statement to him about his poor play today.

Lots of cramping and inability to figure out where to throw in the ball upcoming. 

Deserved. Don't sleepwalk through the 1st half next week. 

Please go out and buy a midfielder. You might as well throw in the towel on the league if you don’t. If it’s a hammy, Thiago is out for multiple matches. Henderson is way past it. Keita wasn’t even in the squad today; Ox is hurt. Just not enough difference makers at the position.

I know we seem to want to wait until next year to bring in Bellingham but we need something in the midfield. We had so much passing that just avoided the midfield and seem like we can’t create anything through the middle of the park.

Did Keita have a knock? Just curious why he was completely omitted from the match. Also missing Curtis.

It’s hard to believe Naby would be left out of the squad without a knock. Tried half-heartedly on Twitter to find something, but didn’t see anything. Our biggest issue with this standard MF we run is that there’s no ball carrier and there’s no pace. Fab is 28, Thiago is 31, and Hendo is 32 and it shows against teams that organize a rampant press. We don’t really have a way to progress the ball through dribbling (like Coutinho used to do…) whereas teams like City have players like KDB, Bernardo, Grealish, Foden, etc. who all generally excel on the ball. We really need somebody who can take on defenders and suck attention away from the forward line for a final pass. It also seems obvious that Henderson’s best role is as a 6, but that’s Fab’s position so we’re forcing him through as an 8. He’s just so slow now and seems to freak out and hoof the ball under any pressure.

I dunno that he can play the 6 very well anymore. He had great energy in the Shield but he doesn’t have the pace anymore. To me he needs to be a guy that comes on at 55 or 60 when there’s a lead or we need to press high. 
I hope Fabio can be a midfield carrier. Maybe Harvey can but I think both probably lack the physicality we need there right now. Curtis and Naby I think are the only two guys we have who can successfully turn and take on a press.

We need to buy a CM. That's all there is to it. Needed one before Ox and Thiago went down and it's should be glaringly obvious to everyone now.
