The midfield makeover

Is what do yous think ? One thing I've noticed is that these lads will run all day compared to last season. I'm excited for this season now !!

Fairly happy with it. Mad to think both Fab & Hendo are in Saudi Pro League ! They've been replaced
Keita, Ox & Melo leaving a bonus really. Could have done with an addition in defence.

Endo, Gravenberch, MacAllister & Szoboszlai in contrast to those 3 above, have had good health and less minutes under their belts than either Fab or Hendo.

MacAllister the only one of the 4 I really had seen play or knew about, I'm no scout. World Cup winner, signing for Klopp/LFC without CL football 👍
Played 219 Scored 34 Assists 22

Szoboszlai - front 3 capable midfielder 👍
Played 228 Games 64 goals & 70 assists.
Played mostly as a CM.
Played 61 Scored 15 Assists 24
At RM & RWF combined... (Salah roles) Played 40 Scored 13 Assists 16

Gravenberch - 19X rated "generational talent" 👍
Played 222 Scored 36 Assists 32

Endowho ? A Lucas like signing 👍
Played 442 Scored 47 Assists 30

My best 11 - fundamentally based on a double pivot, to protect a declined defence. TAA and VVD off their best.

Alisson
TAA Konate/Matip VVD Robbo
Sobozla GB3 MacA Diaz
Salah......Núñez___

Quite sure it was Veiga i cited as potentially proving to be a generational talent

Not sure why you think the number of goals and assists these mids have is what would define them as a generational talents, it often depends on the role they are asked to play, which isn't as straight forward as CM as CMs can have attacking and defensive roles

I got sick to death of sitting at Anfield last season watching our midfield get out-ran, game after game. That’s not the case now. We actually have athletes in there that haven’t been flogged to the point of no return.

We need to manage what we have very carefully… I was pleased to see Jones start yesterday. They’ll obviously be a temptation to play our best 11 in every game, but squad rotation will be vital if we want to avoid having a team of Thiagos.

100% - it's why such a small squad is a worry.

Henderson whinging about not being wanted by the club in The Athletic.

There's a stat knocking about that Mac and Sozbo have played more minutes this season than Ox and Keita did for the whole of last season.
We're only 4 games in.
