Why couldn't Macallister play Fabinho's role anyway?
We see all the time how Klopp buys players for a different role than they currently have.
'Stopped signing players'
Thiago, Jota, Tsimikas, Konate, Carvalho, Ramsay, Diaz, Nunez, Gakpo - all playing their part in either winning the League, FA Cup, League Cup, and almost winning the quadruple.
But let's pretend we signed no-one between 2019 to 2022 and didnt sign over £250m worth of players, just so that you can enagage in your favourite pastime - endless whining.
At least this thread gives you something to do this summer. You'll probably go through about 5 keyboards by August.
He was back in the Argentina squad in January 2022. He was good in the 2nd half of last season. We could have approached him it would have saved alot of money. He started this season very well & signed new deal end of october. If we showed interest he would not have signed a new deal. Seems the WC was when we got interested in him. Just not very clever.
Turning their nose up at Dyche on GOT, maybe their expecting Ancelotti to be free again?Bloody hell. They finish a miserable 17th and still have ideas way above their station.
I suppose the question Klopp might ask is why that space is there to begin with. Fabinho's never been fast, but it's rare that he's been left with so much space to cover in previous years. He's technically playing LDM there, and the RDM has just lost the ball on the edge of the opposition penalty area. Who is responsible for covering that area? Fabinho has a lot of ground to cover, and the only mistake he makes is not fully committing to the tackle.
I think that clip shows us that we have a lot of work to do with this system. Between the RCB, RDM/RB, CDM, RCM it's an absolute mess in transitions.
Honestly wtf are trent and Gomez doing there. He took a bad angle and got outpaced but trent vacated the MF space that now fabinho has to cover and does a terrible job of pressing it. Gomez is pulling a sktrel running away the ball. Also like 3% chance of scoring that goal too lol.It really is shocking to look at. That massive hole on the right there- filled with Southampton players salivating for the ball, as well as the other holes in midfield.. then players legging it back, while the defense is in disarray and Gomez backing off into eternity. One pass and we were destroyed.
