Pre-Season 20-21

Hoever right?

I remember how often TAA got targeted when he came into the team, and the debates around whether to play him against City and Manure when they were going to aim those long diagonal balls at him for Sane/Rashford to run onto

This is par for the course with introducing young players into the first team, especially young defenders. The only way they learn (like everyone else) is by making mistakes, unfortunately.

No other way to introduce academy lads in though, so we are either OK with it or we aren't...

Yeah that’s the one, Hoever. Not quite ready yet & a possible loan move at Xmas might be in order?

So what are people’s thoughts on Phillips as our 4th choice CB? Is he ready for that or another loan?

Whats the point, just sell him. He must be 40 by now.

Klopp always play TAA. Even when he rests him, he brings him on as a substitute. Does my nut in, but there we go.

The key will be for Williams to keep us somewhat of an attacking force. Not quite a replication of TAA's play, but enough that we still have a threat, which I feel isn't there with Gomez or Milner at RB. Sure, he'll get caught out on occasions, but he'll learn through experience, and training with some extraordinary players.

Klopp likes to go with a risk and reward approach. He'll know some players are weak in some areas, but their contributions toward our overall game make them a good choice. That's what I feel Williams is. A player hungry to learn, and contribute toward our overall style, so the drop off isn't as great as it would be with other players there.

Hopefully Williams can come on in a few PL games for last 20 mins or so to give TAA a break, and get 90 mins in the cup games.

That’s the ideal scenario for all our young up & coming players but we seldom put teams away early enough to have that luxury.

Has no-one told Aldo that he’s constantly sniffling into the mic and it’s extremely annoying?

The beak is overcut with pseudoephedrine.
