MacAllister is the only one you can even make a case for, and he isn't better than Bentancur.

They're different players but he definitely is a lot better than the current iteration of Bentancur.

Liverpool have a lot of players who walk in to our team, they are 15 points ahead of us despite cup runs. Just ran out of steam and a couple of the key guys are ageing/declining..

What is a rebuild. Genuine question.

Liverpool certain did a huge update, maybe they didn’t sell enough to consider it a rebuild or maybe a rebuild is only a rebuild if it is well scouted which this appears to have not been.

Henderson (mocked; but was massive for them under Klopp)
Fabhino (at his peak as good as anyone in the league)
Wijnaldum (unsung)
Ox-Camberlain
Kieta

All gone.....

Jones & Elliot play most weeks now.

They missed out on Lavia... Dunno about others, but:

Macallister - Good season
Sloboz - Faded
Endo - Bit parter/declining game-time.
Gravenbirch - Bit crap.

The first 3 were getting big gas.... Until they weren't all of a sudden.

He would be an upgrade on Sarr and Bentancur in the other 8 remit, so would make us better.

VVD, Alisson, Robertson, MacAllister all definitely make us better ... Salah seems to have fallen off a cliff so I'll leave him off.

Trent vs Porro is an interesting one as they have similar strengths and weaknesses.

He's no better than an on-form (fully fit) Bentancur.

(Obv. you'll disagree cos you don't rate him, but........)

.........He doesn't elevate our best XI to a significant degree.

Was just usual Liverpool gassing up.

They were saying how important Endo was and how they'd never lost a league game in which he started. How Macallister has been one of the signings of the season etc.

It's not until they start dropping points that the excuses then come out. Klopp not been backed (lol, they were gonna offer 100m for Caicedo) etc.

Sloboz was being touted as THE signing of the season.... Not just by their nut-job fans either!

That Chav/pool fight over Caicedo was funny, he was at best a reasonable player at Brighton, they acted like he was Roy Keane. Maybe it was just the dearth of DM’s but hard to think of such a fight for such money over such a player. He was in effect £100m for Wilson Palacios.

I even thought the Lavia chase was laughable too.

His numbers were so average last season (granted he played for Southampton) that I never understood the hype. Shame about the injuries and that but he wouldn't have saved them either.

.........Chavs having a fight with themselves over Enzo F.

...........And the LFC/CFC tug of war over Lavia too.

..........CFC/AFC tug of war over Mudyrick.




Common denominator......? :freund:

Lavia (thanks for reminding me of his name) looked quite nice on the ball u like Caicedo but that is all I remember about him.
