Seems similar in broad terms to a lot of our signings now .. all of which seem to come good…Early 20s, captain at his former club (leader on the pitch), Already established himself at international level. Can play in a number of positions ….. Probably his best years coming as he reaches his peak … What’s not to love ?
He whips a cracking ball in from the clips I've seen. Good clean striker of the ball too.I wouldn't be shocked if he hits double figures for assists this season. He should get plenty of football with Díaz and Jota still out for a while and with Núñez and Salah getting on the end of his passes.
The fact that he wasn't good enough for Yernited?
Great business considering how much Anthony went for..
Welcome Cody!!
If Ayre got £25m out of them he's willing to fuck all the female members of my family on Sunday's.
Sorry, not a pro... I don't think I read it wrongly, he is a left winger, not a forward / striker, right?
I think he will end up playing more games as a striker(Centre forward)
Welcome to Liverpool Cody.For those (if any) that have seen him play in more than just the world cup. What type of player is he, is there a former player he's similar to?
Apparently Wolves in the cup likeliest for his debut as he has barely trained since the WC. https://twitter.com/JamesPearceLFC/status/1608206510311542790?s=20
He can’t be that far behind some others. When did VVD come back to training?I say get him on the bench, it’s not like he’s gone six months without training.
We're all eager to see him but he hasn't been training, hasn't worked with the coaches at all and is still getting settled after a pretty quick move. I can see why we might delay his debut a game as it gives him a week to settle and to assess his fitness, last thing we want to do is throw him in and get another injury.
This is a pretty good critical analysis of him for those of us that have watched him a limited amount of times. Some pro's and cons. It does highlight his lack of explosiveness to separate between himself and his opponent and suggests it could be a big issue playing for a club like Liverpool who come up against settled defences.Have a readhttps://twitter.com/H23football/status/1608173106056790016Not a big fan myself but definitely see Klopp improving him and can see him being a success for us.
Some of those examples are bollocks to be fair. It's piss easy to watch a clip from in the gantry and say that player should have done x or y when things are massively different at pitch level. A few of the examples the 'scout' uses even look to be the right options but are defended well or lost by the player receiving the pass from GakpoThat whole thread just seems like someone wanted to post something that went against the grain
Who would have thought liverblokes no draws idea would not be his worst idea of the weekend
One major thing i would say about him regarding his goals in the WC, is that when he hits the ball he always seems to connect really well with it. IE. When he hits a ball it stays hit.
So that's Salah, Nunez, Jota, Diaz, Gakpo, & Bobby as our 6 main strikers (when all fit) for the remainder of the season. I'll be disappointed if we're not scoring 3 or 4 per game from here on in. Our bench will be pretty impressive.
We're going the Keegan route, we can't keep a clean sheet so we'll just outscore you
Said that to a mate the other day. Looks like we're going for broke now. I can see a few crazy score-lines involving us for the rest of the season. Bring it on.
