2018-19 FA Cup Thread

[YNWA14]

Not basing this on his few minutes this evening.
The fact that he has made his debut, along with some reports I've read, including some heavy praise from Klopp, he's doing amazingly well.

Yep...if you watch him the player he actually seems more reminiscent of is...van Dijk actually. Smaller, quicker, but that same level of calm and poise that you can't really teach. It will be interesting to see what position he ends up at since he has split the season at RB/CB (and for the PL2 team it's been only RB so far). He's only 16 and has a lot of growing to do though and it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up at CB instead of RB.

 

[YNWA14]

Well then.

 

[Chimaera]

Some of these guys really don't understand what it means to be in the shop window.

 

[hatterson]

Yea, the play out of the back strategy seems really dumb. Fabinho just passed it back to Hoever, who was basically standing at the corner flag and had a Wolves playing coming towards him. Not exactly setting the teenager up for an easy play.

Origi

 

[hatterson]

That was actually a really good strike by Origi.

 

[Live in the Now]

He had a 3/10 game before that. Not even slightly exaggerating. Good strike.

 

[Chimaera]

Origi's price just went up another 2 million.

You might be exaggerating on the high side.

 

[YNWA14]

Origi has the talent and athleticism. If Klopp can get him turned around mentally he could still be a pretty good player.

 

[Chimaera]

Moreno has been the worst by far.

Can we mail him to Uzbekistan?

Where's a bad Chinese club who wants him for 20 million?

 

[hatterson]

What a strike by Neves.

He must stay to be friends with the Brazilians

 

[Chimaera]

I think the starting keeper might have had that, but it was a nice strike anyhow.

 

[Chimaera]

There are enough Brazilians to be friends to the Brazilians at this point.

Coutinho went and Bobby was fine.

I'll throw in some bus fare myself.

Looked like he was unsighted for the strike and didn't catch it until late.

 

[Chimaera]

They're gonna buy or loan a defender if Lovren is out for any more than a few matches.

hijack Manolas

 

[Evilo]

You should.

Weren't you the guy who argued that Spurs losing in the League Cup last year (or was it two years ago) didn't matter much?

 

[Evilo]

Moreno has been the worst by far.

OM. They're in a position right now where they'd take anyone. Monaco too.

 

[Chimaera]

Looked like he was unsighted for the strike and didn't catch it until late.

Oh, it was a good strike.

But I also think Alisson reacts better

 

[Chimaera]

OM. They're in a position right now where they'd take anyone. Monaco too.

I think he wants to go back to Spain if we're being honest, but I could see him hanging out in Monaco doing a lot of nothing beyond getting his haircut. Do they let players ride around on hover boards with their pitbulls? Any Brazilians he can go to the club with?

 

[Live in the Now]

Hoever having a very, very bad second half. A little too overconfident for a 16 year old.

 

[Chimaera]

Their system at the back is bonkers.

It's basically Fabinho as a sweeper. It would work a bit better if Mignolet could handle the ball better than a hand grenade, or could actually handle a pass back.

 

[Chimaera]

Hoever having a very, very bad second half. A little too overconfident for a 16 year old.

He was hung out to dry by Mignolet there, but yeah, he's not reading the game well. He's 16, but he's not a central defender, and he needs a lot of work.
