General Football and Sport / Re: LIVERPOOL TRANSFER THREAD - 2023 (FSG posts = get muted) - No Mbappé

We should have signed him instead of one of the 8’s we ended up signing last summer.

I tried my best, mate, but they don't listen to me.

Ake and Akanji are both rubbish, rodri bails them out constantly

That's the difference. If you put Rodri (or Rice) in our side this season, rather than theirs, and we'd likely win out.

City are poor defensively but they've got better protection in midfield.

Taylor wasnt having LFC scoring any quick witted shit on his watch. Does anyone believe that Divoks Barca goal wouldve stood with PGMOL in charge?

Was thinking the same after the match. Trent didn't wait for permission to take it early and Origi didn't hesitate.

I am criticising Salah because I believe he acted the c*nt yesterday, both on the touchline and in the mixed zone. Nothing to do with trying to make him a scapegoat. Focus on developing your own argument rather than trying to make out that the opposing view is not valid.

Ive seen Varela, Onana, Andre play.

How much though? What i'm getting at is have you seen these players enough to really form a fair judgement on their ability, suitability to this league etc

I've seen Yildiz play but you're fucked if you expect me to say whether he's a good target for us, i've not seen him nearly enough to say either way and fairly if he's suitable

Just wondering whether anyone has received their unique link for tomorrow's Spurs sale at all?

Don’t think they issue unique links for the waiting list sales

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Darwin Núñez (Darwin Gabriel Núñez Ribeiro)

« Last post by Knight on Today at 05:25:20 pm »

Again, my response was to Al seemingly being confused as to why people thought that Jota was a better finisher than Nunez, which is what I responded to. It was not a discussion about their overall merits as players or who I would prefer in the side. I was simply illustrating that Jota has only one less goal than Nunez despite a markedly lower xG, which suggests that he is the more efficient at putting away chances. 

Claiming that they are scoring at the same rate is simply not true. Darwin has only one more goal in the league than Jota, despite playing 850 minutes (over 9 games worth of minutes) more.  As for who may be more clinical in the future, it is impossible to say with a degree of certainty, but historical data suggests Jota. He has performed above his expected xG 4 out of the past 6 years. Nunez has been below his in 4 out of the past 5.

Yes sorry I was posting at slightly cross purposes to your discussion with AL. But let me respond to what you've said here now you've kindly engaged with me to. AL posted their numbers across multiple seasons so I'm going to go with that (I assume it's accurate). They basically score goals at the same rate. One per 183/184 minutes. Given that you get a choice between a player who takes more high value shots and one who finishes more clinically. However, at least recently the more clinical player has been running hot and will probably cool off (Jota) and the one with the higher shot count (and shot value) has been running cold and will probably revert to the mean to some extent (Nunez). It's really not clear you want the player who takes fewer shots to score the same number of goals. You probably want the player who takes more shots to score the same number of goals because he may well improve and/or get luckier and so score more. His goal scoring ceiling is higher. I wasn't claiming that Nunez will become more clinical than Jota by the way, rather that Jota is likely to be less clinical in future than he's been this season (which is an outlier for him)

That was a Liverpool first half that, only they scored a scrappy goal and didn't concede one. Forest have missed sitters, City created fuck all and Forest much sharper and more up for it. City will need more goals and to up their game.

They've been under the cosh a lot more this season. Particularly away from home.

Any truth in the rumours we're in for Vince Clortho this summer?

That would make Michael Edwards Gozer?

Tempted to agree but they are killing the league by just winning it over and over in the dullest style imaginable

Playing FIFA in cheat mode.
